Only fishermen have no official count. We got problems in making request for funding of projects since Congress wants figures, said BFAR Regional Director Juan Albaladejo. Currently, only 50% of fishermen have been accounted by BFAR in the past years through its local registration initiative backed by government farming technicians. Under FishR, we have to verify the registration of those who have been surveyed, he added. FishR is designed to assist local government units to comply with the provision of RA 8550 or the Fisheries Code of 1998 which provides for the registration of municipal fisherfolk. The BFAR had devised mechanisms to ensure

ranks of any vestiges of corruption, particularly at the start of recruitment of its new personnel. We will prevent any anomalies, illegal acts, biases and favoritism, thus ensuring a high level of competence among our recruits, he said. According to Soria, the major concern is not only to erase negative perceptions about the recruitment of new police personnel but also to ensure that only the best and the brightest will be accepted to join the ranks of the regions policemen. A transparent recruitment process will protect the integrity of the PNP and will allow future policemen to start their law enforcement career cleanly, the police regional director added. The PRO8 has quota allocation of 279 new policemen for this years recruitment program in which 94 is the regular and 185 is the attrition quota. A total of 843 hopefuls submitted their application folders wherein 27 were immediately disqualified during the initial screening due to deficiencies in the requirements set forth by the National Police Commission. The PNP Regional Health Service 8 (RHS8) has started the physical examination for applicants that include Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation, height and weight measurement.

TANAUAN, Leyte -- Mayor Pel Tecson expressed admiration to the recent State of the Nation Address of President Noynoy Aquino and its unwavering commitment to curve corruption in government. Tecson said, however, that he would find it better for the President and its tuwid na daan campaign if Malacanang would seriously consider in getting rid of giving pork barrel to senators and congressmen. According to the neophyte mayor, these huge budgetary allocations shared annually by the countrys legislators should be reverted instead to the Executive Branch. Or it should be given proportionately and directly to local government units. This way, according to Tecson, the legislators will not only be spared from the issue of corruption now haunting several congressmen and senators with the recent P10 billion scam, they will finally begin to focus on their primary function which is to craft significant laws and legislative measures relevant to the country and to their respective districts. The congressmen and senators should
Town mayor calls to allocate PDAF to local govt units instead

instead do their jobs as legislators, that is, to primarily craft and make laws and not embroiled their legislative functions with concerns supposedly already taken care by the executive branch, Tecson added. Tecson added that the priority development assistance fund (PDAF) otherwise known as pork barrel has become now a major source of corruption by most if not all legislators. Speculations are rife that congressmen and senators are awarded 20% to 30% percent of SOP by contractors from all projects undertaken from their PDAF allocations. On the case of the recent P10 billion scam involving some senators and a number of congressmen in cahoots with an alleged fake non government organization, there were no actual projects involved, as alleged. The billion pesos worth transactions, reports claimed, are but a scheme to legitimately disburse PDAF allocations to fund ghost projects but in reality the huge funds allegedly goes to the pockets of the legislators involved, earlier reports claimed. Tecson believes that under the hands of an honest local chief executive and PDAF funds entrusted to local government units, the construction of infrastructures in the country side will not only be hasten, development shall be made certain in no time. Under the current budgetary structure, the congressmen gets P70 million as his pork barrel every year while most of the senators are entrusted P200 million as their pork barrel a year to fund their various projects. This while, local government units, particularly the LGUs in the far -flung areas, are measly allocated annually with a meager internal revenue allotment( IRA) share, of which 20% only are to be used for development initiatives and infrastructure projects of the local government. Tecson further explained that in the case of his town, with a population of over 70,000 people, it only has an annual IRA share a little over than P70 million and operates within a meager annual budget of not more than a P100 million, largely insufficient in meeting the many infrastructure needs of the municipality, not withstanding the equally important concerns on agriculture and other economy-oriented programs and projects often set aside by the local government for lack of funding.

Dolores town puts up relocation site

TACLOBAN CITY The municipal government of Dolores, Eastern Samar has started its project on creating a relocation site for residents in flood-prone barangays. Dolores has 46 barangays, most of them floodprone upland barangays. The relocation site, according to Mayor Emiliana Villacarillo, is located in identified barangays like Caglao-an where they municipal government bought around 10 hectares of land, while the construction of houses is being undertaken by the National Housing Authority. More than 400 houses are to be constructed in the area, which serves as relocation site for residents identified to be living along river banks and also as resettlement site for former rebels, according to Mayor Villacarillo. We received feelers from rebels that they want to surrender, but their problem is how will they start, they dont have properties or houses if they surrender. So I decided to make this project for them and to entice them and help them to start a new life, Villacarillo explained. The relocation and resettlement site, according to her has its own day care center and school buildings for elementary and high school to include a birthing center. The site, according to the municipal mayor, is about one and a half hour pump boat ride from the town proper but there is already a farm-tomarket road project which her administration is currently undertaking.

Oplan Red Plate intensified in Tacloban

TACLOBAN CITY- Alarmed by the high number of government vehicles flagged during the 2-day Oplan Red Plate operation here in the city, the Office of the Ombudsman intensified their campaign against improper use of government vehicles. A total of 119 government vehicles were caught last July 13, Saturday, and July 14, Sunday, that were improperly used within the vicinity before that we only uses small transport vehicles, said Salazar. Coconut, copra and palay are their main products as root crops and vegetables are also produced by farmers in their barangay who transport them to their municipal market, which is more than five kilometers away.

Construction of Kalahi-CIDSS project in a Leyte town soon to resume

TACLOBAN CITY The Kalahi-CIDSS or Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive Integrated Delivery of Social Service project in Barangay Cabadsan in Alangalang, Leyte will soon be finished after almost a month of delay due to a problem on bidding. The bidders have forgotten to attach their signatures after our first bidding that is why we need to do it again, resulting for the one month delay of the project, Brgy Cabadsan chairman Herminigildo Salazar explained. The project which is a concrete box culvert is now almost 100% complete, said Salazar. For this project, Kalahi-CIDSS provided a funding of P1,666, 824 while the counterpart from the provincial government of Leyte amounted to P1,466,800; municipal governments counterpart was P166,682 and the barangay counterpart was P68,342. Salazar added that this project from the KalahiCIDSS, a concrete box culvert, is important for them as this will ensure safety to their children who go to school every day especially during rainy days when the river overflows and this will also lessen cases of schistosomiasis infestation in their barangay. But the biggest contribution of this project, according to Salazar, is on economic side, where it will result for the reduction on transport cost of their commodities from their barangay going to the public market. Once this culvert is done,it will ensure accessibility of all type of vehicle to our barangay unlike
of Tacloban. Officer-in-charge of the Office of the Ombudsman in Eastern Visayas, Atty. Edwin Tabaranza, disclosed that 81 government vehicles were caught on the first operation and 38 on the second operation. On the 2-day operation, about 57 vehicles were caught without trip tickets, 50 with trip tickets and 12 have doubtful trip tickets, which means it is subject to investigation, he said. Thus, the anti-graft court has intensified the Oplan Red Plate by conducting another operation within this month and succeeding months with the help of the Commission on Audit, Land Transportation Office, Civil Service Commission, Philippine National Police and Philippine Information Agency.
This is a yearround activity and we are also planning of having operations on weekdays but as of press time, we are more focused on weekend operations since these are days when illegal use of government vehicles are most rampant, Tabaranza said.

Philippines nest
ransparency International broke out the not-so-unusual results of a survey they recently conducted among Filipinos. It showed that of the 1,000 respondents they asked, 70% of them believed that the Philippine National Police is the most corrupt institution in the country. The PNP, naturally, was quick to defend saying that all that were mere perceptions. Maybe they are, but they are perceptions that matter. They are perceptions with proof. The culture of corruption in this country has been, to say it matter-of-factly, institutionalized. It is an incurable disease that has thrived in all crevices of government, from as high as the executive seat of the President to as low as the Sangguniang Kabataan. Which made the motto of Pnoys administration the curbing of corruption by taking the daang matuwid. Yet not even the sincerity of Pnoys daang matuwid has prevented the people from saying that the PNP is the most corrupt. The PNP may regard it as mere perceptions, and perceive it they will, but these perceptions have something to back it.
Take the one that has recently involved the apparent injudiciousness of its ranks. Just a few days ago, two of this countrys most wanted, the leaders of the infamous Ozamis robbery gang, were killed while in the custody of the police. They imsily defended that the two tried to grapple with their guns which prompted them to shoot them. What reeks of stink is their story that the two tried to stage the feat while they were being shot at by motorcycle riding men. The sister of one of them offered a different version for the killing. It was a rubout and no one actually attacked the police van carrying them. They had to be liquidated because they knew too much of the corrupt ways of the police and some jail guards, his brother having gotten out once by paying off his brothers custodian. Fortunately, a witness came out to tell the tale surrounding the killing of the two notorious robbers. Unfortunately, he and his family have now disappeared while in the custody of the police making the story of the sister more sensible. Begging the question: do they still pass off as the Philippines nest?
PNoy more popular than Chiz and me; Marabut now 64

Exactly 1,030,000 entries are found in the internet containing the name Benigno S. Aquino III. Chiz Escudero numbered only 114,000 while Chito D. Dela Torre is borne in only 15,700 items in the internet. Popularity case? Maybe, and maybe not. For popularity, Benigno S. Aquino III is today known very much as Philippine President, Chiz Escudero is a Philippine senator, while Chito D. Dela Torre is almost a nobody anywhere on the globe. Should the popularity numbers worry or be a cause of concern or one to be elated about? At past five oclock in the afternoon of Tuesday, July 23, I clicked the computer for those three names, one at SONA on July 22, 2013. Then, for the item Chito D.

Also, an observer raised his concern by saying: The next administration (after P Noy2. will be in for a big surprise when Grades 11 and 12 are mandatory in 2016. Without enough resources, how will two more years of free public schooling be funded? There is a grain of truth to the observation. We, therefore, should not be blinded by the reported 7.8% level of GNP gained by the country. Remember that our economy has been in a roller-coaster mode since years back! Indeed, the growing number of observers have chorused asking the question: Will adding two more years really improve the quality of education of our youngsters?

As the Philippine Government moves ahead with the K to 12 Basic Education Program, more concerns seem to beset its preand post-implementation strategies. The BSP has been in the news even before its implementation was made legal with the passage of a covering law. Some quarters who have been following the BSP meticulously since day-1 had posted queries such as Is K to 12 the Answer? Earlier concerns were the non-availability of academically qualified and trained teachers to handle Kindergarten pupils (present so-called teachers being mostly BSEED graduates); want of appropriate books and reference materials for the same grade level (attempts to come up with hurriedly-conceived work books and teachers guides have yet to reach
the level of being acceptable and appropriate, e.g. science-related with erroneous data, etc.); inadequacy in number of classrooms, tables and chairs/desks (pupils are packed, congested beyond descent and acceptably learning environment). Lack of manpower (qualified K teachers and lack of classroom facilities has resulted to holding classes in shifts with shortened pupil-teachers contact hours during school days). On the part of the marginalized families, is the financial problem that they have to face of sending their children through primary education (even if both primary and secondary public education are governmentsupported!).

Job on a trip
You would not expect that you will eventually have a part-time job just by riding one of these passenger jeepneys going around the city all the way to its nearby barangays and back. Sorry, though, its not a high-paying job; it is, in fact, a labor of love. Get the scenario inside these vehicles. When one gets in as a new arrival, one should take the seats close to the driver. Thats the unwritten rule. He may get into trouble, a quarrel that is, should he insist on sitting close to the door as this is a privilege enjoyed only by the early bird passengers. Along the way, as the
passengers alight one after the other, then those who remain, who are by the way sitting on a long bench lodged against the jeepneys walls, may just have to keep moving closer and closer to the door. If no one disembarks, then they will have to stay where they are for the rest of the way. Here now comes the necessity to get started with your new job. You may call it an opportunity to serve your kapwa, or you may resist it in utter disgust. But you have no choice. The job is yours on account of your being there.

That said, be settled that the Philippine President is very, very popular around Earth, and Atty. Val Ortillo is more popular than the man behind Quidnuncs Neighbor. It was actually for nothing that I made those searches, just a flimsy thought provoked by fatigue. That began when I opened an internet cafe computer and I wasnt ready yet with what to do on the internet page that immediately faced me. In the end, I settled for Marabut, Samar. Why? Because, a day earlier (July 22), accompanied by agrarian reform program technologist Remedios Gacus Padagdag, I paid a courtesy call on Marabut mayor Atty. Percival Adona Ortillo, Jr. before I proceeded to report to the office of the Department of Agrarian Reform which rents a portion of the barangay hall of Veloso, a coastal village a few kilometres north of the poblacion of Marabut, and to pay a courtesy call on the punong barangay of Veloso, Mario G. Aboque whose coastal house is partly touched by a cavernous 15-25-foot-high-7-15-footw ide-barely-plant-b ea ri n g limestone rock from which cold water droplets ooze out of pinhole crevices (this is relatively a closely accessible site for explaining to children how stalagmites and stalactites form inside a cave!). (At the DARMO, I found ARPT-development facilitator Orfa Talbo Dadulla busily typing her reports on the Legaspi Fishermen and Farmers Association which is planning to secure a production loan from Land Bank of the Philippines as part of DARs support services, Marabut having an expanded agrarian reform community (ARC). Marabut has been assigned to me this July as my radiation municipality while Basey and the Samar Settlement Project-Basey remain as my principal places of assignment. And the sense? Marabut Monday morning was agog as the poblacion celebrated pompously its founding anniversary as a town separate and independent from its once mother town which was Basey. Marabut is sandwiched by Basey on the north and Lawaan town of Eastern Samar in the east and the Lawaan Bay on the southeast and bounded by the Leyte Gulf on the east and south. Now a fifth class town, Marabut became a town on July 22, 1949 by virtue only of Executive Order No. 247 of President Elpidio Quirino. The town was named Marabut in recognition of the outstanding efforts and achievements of statesman Serafin Marabut, who became a congressman when Marabut was then known as Sto. Nino and a barrio of Basey of which the late congressman was a native. In 1949, the mayor of Basey, Ysidro M. Ferreras proposed to President Quirino that the town be converted into a town independent of Basey. His proposal was readily approved. Other top leaders of Basey helped back up the move, agreeing at the same time to the annexation to the upcoming town of all the territories of Basey south of Basiao. Marabut was originally only a sitio, known as Lipata during the Spanish regime, and became barrio Sto. Nino as its population grew fur-

PREDICTION OF TRIALS
The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, What do you wish? She answered him, Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom. Jesus said in reply, You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink? They said to him, We can. He replied, My cup you will indeed drink, but to sit at my right and at my left (, this) is not mine to give but is for those whom it has been prepared by my Father. When the ten heard this, they became indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus summoned them and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give life as a ransom for many.
JAMES, APOSTLE
With his brother John, he was tempted to call down fire and brimstone on a Samaritan village that was inhospitable to Jesus. At the Transfiguration of Jesus he saw the glory of human destiny in Jesus. In Gethsemane he saw the terror of fear that can grip the soul. He saw the bloodshed of Calvary and then the incredible triumph of the Resurrection. How did he die? During the persecution of Herod Agrippa, James fell beneath the sword. A legend tells us that when James was arrested in Jerusalem and condemned to death, his accuser repented at the last minute, they were executed together. With his brother John, James sought glory in Jesus kingdom and wanted special place in the kingdom. In his enthusiasm for the glory, James was very quick to say that he could drink the cup and accept the same baptism as the Lord. But Jesus gently told him that the Lords kingdom is a spiritual one. To occupy high places in his kingdom one must drink the bitter cup of self-sacrifice in the service of others. He said to him that true glory resides in persevering goodness, in being faithful to all that is good and true and loving, when all around you is breaking into violence. Let us therefore seek not the vanities of this world. But the true glory that Jesus promised to James. (His Word is Life by Vima Dasan, S.J., published by Paulines.

As a result human beings are no longer as rational and as free as they should be. Sooner or later these vices will join forces. -Blessed James Alberione, Founder of the Pauline Family

San Antonio de Padua Mission Center marks second anniversary

BASEY,Samar A concelebrated mass served as peak of the celebration marking the second anniversary of the San Antonio de Padua Mission Center in Barangay San Antonio, this town on July 23, 2013. Rev. Fr. July O. Gaddi, S.L..L., parish priest of The Annunciation Parish in Calbiga, Samar was the main celebrant and homilist in the Thanksgiving Mass that was celebrated about 6:00 o clock in the afternoon. He was joined by Rev. Fr. Noel A. Abiertas, the diocesan oeconomus, Rev. Fr. Domingo R. Ontuca, assistant priest incharge and Rev. Fr. Rex M. Ibaez, M. A. Th., priest in-charge, respectively, of the San Antonio de Padua Mission Center. The celebration was participated in by the different barangays and sitios comprising the San Antonio de Padua Mission Center. In his homily, Fr. Gaddi shared his reflections on the gospel where Jesus declared that His mother and siblings are those who fulfill the will of God. He expounded that the will of God is for the people to live in unity and not in divisions. Reading the decree that created the mission center, he emphasized that primary goal in elevating the barangay into a mission center is for the people to grow in faith and spirituality as a Christian
community. This is a mission center, not a division center, Fr. Gaddi stressed in his homily as he exhorted the faithful to be united.

TACLOBAN CITY The Department of Agriculture here in the region is starting the implementation of the wood vinegar plant project in the region. According to Rey Samalat, chief of the Regional Crop Protection Center (RCPC) of DA-8, they had already established 10 units of semicommercial type of wood vinegar plants in Abuyog, San Miguel, Ormoc City, and Kananga, all in Leyte; San Jorge, Samar; and Salcedo, Eastern Samar. He said the regional wood vinegar plant located in Abuyog town is now
DA-8 starts implementation of wood vinegar plant project

operational. Wood vinegar is an organic product borne out of plant wastes. It is cheap, effective, ecologically friendly, environmentally safe, use for soil enrichment and a pest control for crops and livestock, Salamat said. It can be used as fertilizer and insect repellent. It also eliminates bad odor in poultry and piggery farms and can be used as natural organic insecticide and fungicide, he said. He also added that wood vinegar does not only benefit agriculture. Chemically known as Pyroligenous acid, wood vinegar has pharma-
ceutical uses. Any problems that we encounter in our external and internal body like insect bites, diabetic ulcer, ear infections and among others could be cured through wood vinegar. In the region, we are planning to establish 20 semi-commercial and 200 village type of wood vinegar plants. The village type is capable of producing 2 to 5 liters of vinegar a day, while the semi-commercial is 20 to 30 liters per day. However, the latter is expensive, thats why we recommend the farmers to use village type only, Salamat said.

WEESAM declares P1M damages

ORMOC CITY - The SRN Fast Sea Crafts, Inc. declared a rough estimate of damages including its lost income of P1 million calculated for a two-week docking of the Weesam Express 7 while the Coast Guard conducts a checkup. It includes tug boat fee and other expenses incurred. The vessel with Ormoc-Cebu and vice versa route has an approximated lost income of P300,000 in two weeks, said Ryan Hinampas, operations supervisor based in Ormoc City. As stated on the marine protest issued by vessel captain Roberto Salvaa that afternoon, it said that at about 8:08 a.m. of July 23, the Weesam Express 7 bound for Cebu with 42 passengers that include one company staff was maneuvering strong wind, wave and current struck at the vessels starboard side that caused its drifting to the Alegria seawall. Earlier, the office received a memorandum from the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) informing of strong wind and tough waves although there was no typhoon signal. Hinampas confirmed the engine did not shut off when the waves hit the vessel. It was purof Social Welfare and Development shouldered P70, 000 under its core shelter program while the remaining amount was covered by the city government. The houses were constructed last December 2012 and finished June of this year. City social welfare and development officer Liliosa Baltazar said that the row houses were intended for the families who were victims of disasters like typhoons. The beneficiaries were chosen on ground that they have no capacity to build their houses aside from the fact they were rendered homeless by the calamity two years ago. There were about 200 families from the city whose houses were destroyed by the typhoon. However, the 66 families were chosen as they have no financial means to build their own houses. The houses at the resettlement site were built to withstand a typhoon with a wind velocity of 220 km per hour and even to an earthquake which has a magnitude of four. DSWD Regional Director Remia Tapispisan said that she was glad that the city government under Mayor Alfred Romualdez made this kind of undertaking. She said that the resettlement project would not only ensure families without homes to have their own but more so, ensure that they would have a shelter that could withstand a typhoon. Of course, since these houses were given to them, they would not be allowed to sell it to others or allow others to live in their houses, Tapispisan said. (JOEY A.

Aquino declares crackdown vs wrongdoing in government

pinos to rally behind him in his last three years in Malacaang. Aquino, in his fourth State of the Nation Address (Sona), said three years of anti-corruption reforms have banished the countrys image as the sick man of Asia, but added that he lost patience over continuing problems such as large-scale smuggling. See full text of President Aquinos 4th Sona He hit employees of the Bureau of Customs (BOC), Bureau of Immigration (BI) and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) for not performing well in their job. He said employees of these agencies must shape up because his patience is running out. And here we have the Bureau of Customs, whose personnel are trying to outdo each others incompetence. Instead of collecting the proper taxes and preventing contraband from entering the country, they are heedlessly permitting the smuggling of goods, and even drugs, arms, and other items of a similar nature into our territory, he said. You were given three years to demonstrate your readiness to change; now, I shall pursue all of you and hold you accountable. No hard feelings, Aquino added. Read the related story. Customs Commissioner Ruffy Biazon, an Aquino ally, offered to resign immediately after the Sona, but the President rejected it. In light of the Presidents statement regarding BOC, I immediately offered my resignation within minutes after the end of the speech, Biazon said in his Twitter account. Aquino, however, told Biazon: Ruffy, we both know the difficulties in the agency you are trying to reform. My confidence in you remains the same. The heads of the BI and NIA, on the other hand, recently quit from their posts

in 2011.He and the rest of the beneficiaries moved to their new houses on Monday. The 3,438 square meters resettlement site, known as the Palanog Resettlement Area, is just 100 meters away from where Martinez originally lived. His family moved to purok 6 of Brgy. Palanog back in 2004 after the city government initiated its campaign against illegal settlers in the city proper. Martinez works as a construction worker, who in most instances, find himself out of work. But during the 2011 calamity, he and some of his neighbours lost their houses mostly made of light materials, forcing them to relocate at an abandoned building located at the nearby Barangay Cabalawan owned by the city government. They stayed there for two years until they finally moved to their new homes at the resettlement area, 13 kms away from the city proper. The building where the victims temporarily took shelter was constructed back in the 1980s by former first lady Imelda Marcos as the site for a new regional hospital but was not finished after they were ousted from power during the People Power I. Marcos is the aunt of Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez. The duplex-type houses measures 50 square meter each unit with a cost of P100, 000. The Department

Local officials led by Mayor Deo Delusa will witness the mass treatment, as a way of showing its support to schistsomiasis control drive. This is just a ceremonial mass treatment since other local government units have been initiating control and elimination activities in their own locality. We will do this launching to raise awareness of people in endemic areas, Cuayzon told Leyte Samar Daily Express. Mass treatment targets to provide medicines to 85% of the regions 742,271 persons exposed to schistomiasis - a chronic, parasitic disease caused by blood flukes. The health department has set aside P3.04 million for procurement of praziquantel drugs. Dagami is just one of the 62 areas in the region classified as high endemic areas. Of this number, 25 are in Leyte, 16 in Northern Samar, 11 in Eastern Samar and 10 in Samar. Mass treatment is the primary intervention for schistosomiasis in endemic areas to be done yearly starting July, Cuayzon said. In a neighboring town of Tabontabon, Leyte, nearly half of the 11,600 residents are highly vulnerable to schistosomiasis settling in eight of the towns 16 barangays, said Flocerfina Acala, municipal health nurse. Acala said that even if a person is not confirmed of
MANILA -- President Benigno Aquino III declared Monday a tougher crackdown against wrongdoing in government, as he chided three erring agencies and at the same time called on Filischistosomiasis, they have to give exposed populations proper treatment. Before the mass treatment in 2001, five to 10 people died due to this disease but in the recent years, we have been recording two mortalities every year, Acala told reporters. Tabontabon Mayor Brendo Gamez vowed to sustain treatment initiatives, citing the impact schistosomiasis emergence to labor productivity and malnutrition. We have been campaigning for households to make their own toilet facilities. About 15% of the towns populations have no sanitary toilets, Gamez added. Absence of sanitary toilets has triggered the emergence of this disease. Citing monitoring reports, the National Statistical Coordinating Board said that as of 2011, 35% of the regions populations have not toilet facilities. People become infected when larval forms of the parasite released by freshwater snails penetrate the skin during contact with infested water. These snails got parasites from human feces of infected persons. The Department of Health is highly recommending the use of sanitary toilets, ensure safe water supply, use foot bridges and control of stray animals to attain up to 75% reduction of disease transmission.

due to unsatisfactory performance. While these agencies were not spared from Aquinos tirades, the President, who is halfway into his term, called on his bosses Monday to help his government achieve its goals before the end of 2016. I do not doubt our capacity to overcome any obstacle. We did not achieve our current success by chance. Let us not allow this transformation to be temporary; let us seize this opportunity to make the change permanent, he said in his Sona delivered at the Batasan Pambansa in Quezon City. So far, Aquino said the country has been reaping the benefits of good governance, from extending assistance to the poorest of the poor to cracking the whip on erring State officials. He said beneficiaries of the conditional cash transfer program have reached some four million families, the country is on its way to rice sufficiency, backlog in textbooks and classrooms are being addressed, tax revenues are improving, tourist arrivals keep growing, and proper distribution of land for farmers has been looked into. Aquino, whose maternal relatives own the sprawling Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac, said the sugar estate will be turned over to 6,200 farmer beneficiaries starting in September. Read the story. By next year, he said all notices of coverage will have been served for lands covered by comprehensive agrarian reform. Efforts to provide health care benefits for Filipinos are also underway as 81 percent are already enrolled in PhilHealth and immediate relocation of informal settlers, especially those living in danger areas such as creeks, will be done soon to ease flooding in the metropolis during heavy rains.

sapat tayong panahon para makapaghanda sa paghalal ng bagong pamahalaang Bangsamoro sa 2016. Anuman pong pagbabagong tinatamasa natin ngayon ay naabot dahil hindi tayo nakuntentong sumunod lamang sa dinatnang status quo ng pamamahala. Matanong ko nga po: Ilan po ba sa inyo ang nakagamit ng tinatawag na Telepono sa Barangay? Hindi po ako magtataka kung wala. Isipin po ninyo, ayon sa DOTC: mahigit 5 billion pesos ang ginastos para sa isang programang magdadala ng telepono sa mga kanayunan. Di po bat sayang lang ito, dahil sa loob ng maikling panahon matapos ang implementasyon, dumami nang dumami ang may cellphone na Pilipino? Sino nga ba naman ang papansin sa mahigit 6,000 landline na ipinakabit nila, gayong may 100 milyon nang cellphone sa Pilipinas? Heto pa po ang isang halimbawa ng pag-iisip sa gobyerno na kinailangan nating baguhin: Bumili ng walong combat utility helicopter, para daw sa mabilisang pagbiyahe ng ating mga sundalo. Ang problema: Sukat ba naman pong naka-mount ang baril sa may pintuan, at kailangang tanggalin kung may dadaan. Kung lalapag ka habang nagbabakbakan, ano ang silbi ng machine gun na nakatabi at hindi mapaputok? Wala bang nakaisip nito bago magkapirmahan ng kontrata? Bakit naman po pinayagang mangyari ito? Kailangan pong maging mas mahusay tayong mamimili. Hindi puwedeng palagi tayong nakasalalay sa sales talk ng mga supplier sa pagpili ng mga kagamitan natin. Inatasan natin ang DOST na bumuo ng grupo ng mga ekspertong hindi kayang bolahin ng mga supplier, lalo na po pagdating sa mga big ticket item. Ang patakaran natin: Tamang pagkilala sa ugat ng problema; tamang pag-aaral na tutukoy sa tamang solusyon, na maaabot naman sa pamamagitan ng tamang metodolohiya. Iyan po ang kaisipang pinagmulan ng ating tugon sa isyu ng mga informal settler sa Kamaynilaan. Kaya nga po, ang layunin nating ilayo sa panganib ang mga nagsisiksikan sa peligrosong bahagi ng lungsod: tinutupad na rin. Wala naman po sigurong kokontra kapag sinabi nating hindi tama ang kasalukuyan nilang kondisyon. Ayon po sa Article 2, Section 5, o ang general welfare clause ng ating Saligang Batas: Dapat sundin ng Estado ang pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan at kaayusan, ang pangangalaga sa buhay, kalayaan at ari-arian, at ang pagtataguyod sa kagalingang panlahat upang matamasa ng buong sambayanan ang mga

State of the Nation Address 2013

Kaparehong paninindigan rin po ang nakikita nating solusyon sa nakaambang problema sa pensyon sa SSS. Isipin po ninyo: mula 1980, 21 beses nang nagkaroon ng across-the-board pension increase, pero dalawang beses pa lamang pong tumaas ang contribution rate. Ang resulta: Tinatayang 1.1 trillion pesos na ang unfunded liability ng SSS base sa pagaaral na isinagawa nitong 2011. Inaasahang tataas ito ng walong porsyento kada taon, at mauubos ang pondo 28 taon mula ngayon. Kapag nangyari ito, walang ibang malulugi kundi ang susunod na salinlahi ng Pilipino. Naniniwala po tayong panahon na para amyendahan ang SSS Pension Scheme. Kailangan nating tambalan ng inisyatibang mag-impok nang sapat ang pagluluwal natin ng pera. Kung magdadagdag lamang tayo ng 0.6 percent sa contribution rate, 141 billion pesos na agad ang maibabawas sa unfunded liability ng SSS. Kung ngayon na tayo magsisimulang mamuhunan sa kinabukasan, wala nang problemang ipapamana pa sa mga susunod sa atin. Sa kapulisan naman po, ang layunin nating magbigay ng lakas upang magampanan nila ang kanilang tungkulin: natupad rin natin. Simula ngayong 2013, 30,000 sa mga pulis ang babalik sa pagpupulis, dahil kukuha tayo ng mga civilian personnel para gawin ang mga tungkuling administratibo. Sayang naman po ang kakayahan at abilidad ng ating mga kawal at pulis kung ikukulong lamang natin sila sa apat na sulok ng opisina. Sa pagpasok rin po ng buwang ito, inumpisahan nang ipamahagi ang mga bagong unit ng 9mm Glock 17 pistol sa ating mga pulis. Simula pa lang po ito; kasado na rin ang pamamahagi ng kabuuang 74,879 na baril sa ating mga alagad ng batas, tungo sa katuparan ng mithiin nating one-is-toone police-to-pistol ratio. Sulit na sulit naman po ang pamumuhunan nating ito sa pambansang kapulisan, lalo pat nagbubunsod ito sa maayos at maaasahang serbisyo. Di po bat tuwing eleksyon, nasanay na tayo sa kaliwat kanang insidente ng karahasan? Tinutugunan po ito ng Oplan Katok. Ang pakay ng programa: hanapin ang mga baril na paso na ang lisensya, at tiyakin na ang mga baril na mayroon namang lisensya ay hawak pa rin ng otorisadong mamamayan. Para gawin ito, 491,929 na pintuan po ang kinatok ng ating mga pulis para sa renewal ng mga lisensya. Nakatulong po ito upang maging mas epektibo ang kampanya natin para sa Secure and Fair Elections, kung saan ang 112 matagal nang pinupunit ng hidwaan. Nitong Oktubre po ng nakaraang taon nilagdaan ang Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro. Katunayan nga po, siyam na araw pa lang ang nakakalipas mula nang lagdaan ang ikalawang annex ng kasunduan. Kumpiyansa po tayong masusundan pa ito ng mas magandang balita sa lalong madaling panahon. Tiyak kong mulat ang lahat: Hindi biro ang proseso ng pagbubuo ng consensus; mabuti na lamang talaga at handang makinig, magbigayan, at magkita sa gitna ang magkabilang panig. Alam naman natin ang maaaring maging resulta kung magpapadaan tayo sa inip. Ang malinaw po sa akin: Ang mga salitang ating bibitawan ay dapat magbunga ng mga kilos na positibong makakaapekto sa lahat. Ang bawat linya sa binubuo nating kasunduan ay dapat maaaring itaga sa bato, at hindi ililista lamang sa tubig upang anurin na naman ng kasaysayan. Pinalaki po ako ng aking ama nang may isang salita, kayat sinasabi ko sa mga kapatid nating kasapi ng Bangsamoro: Anumang mapagkasunduan natin ay ipapatupad ng pambansang gobyerno. Kailangan ng tiwala sa usapan ng kapayapaan. Hindi automatic ang magkaroon ng tiwala, dahil na rin sa haba ng pinagdaanan. At ngayon, talagang dama natin na gustong makipagkasundo ng magkabilang panig, at tayo naman ay nagpapakita na dapat talaga tayong pagkatiwalaan. At sa mga pumipigil sa pagkakaroon ng tiwala at naghahasik ng pagdududa: masasabi mo bang Pilipino kang may malasakit sa kapwa Pilipino? Umaasa po ako sa pakikiambag ng bawat Pilipino sa layunin natin para sa Bangsamoro; patunayan po nating ang Pilipino, may malasakit sa kapwa Pilipino. Ipakita po natin sa kanilang hindi sila nagkamali sa pagpili sa direksyon ng kapayapaan; ipamalas natin ang lakas ng buong bansa upang iangat ang mga probinsya sa Muslim Mindanao, na kabilang sa mga pinakamaralita nating mga lalawigan. Tagumpay ng lahat ang ating hangarin; hindi tayo papayag na may kababayan tayong mapapag-iwanan habang may ibang nakakalamang. Nananawagan ako sa ating Kongreso: Nabuo na po ang Transition Commission na gagawa ng panukalang Bangsamoro Basic Law. Tatapusin ito alinsunod sa mga prinsipyo ng komprehensibong kasunduan para sa kapayapaan; maipasa po sana ninyo ito bago matapos ang 2014. Sa gayong paraan, may
private armed groups noong eleksyon ng 2010 ay napababa na lamang sa 41. Katumbas po ito ng 63 porsyentong pagbaba. Mula rin sa 189 na insidente ng karahasan noong eleksyon ng 2010, 77 insidente lamang ang kompirmadong naganap nitong huling halalan. Gawin po nating halimbawa ang ARMM. Ang sabi nga po ni Governor Mujiv Hataman, sa tanang-buhay niya, hindi siya makaalala ng pagkakataon kung kailan walang failure of elections sa Lanao del Sur. Alalahanin po natin, ito ang unang beses kung kailan magkasabay ang pambansa at rehiyonal na halalan sa ARMM. Ang ibig pong sabihin, noon ay nakatutok ang buong pwersa ng estado sa iisang rehiyon, pero may failure of elections pa rin. Ngayong 2013, dahil buong bansa ang kinailangang tutukan, at lumawak ang kanilang responsibilidad, may nag-akalang lulubha pa ang situwasyon sa halalan ng ARMM. Pero kita naman po ang laki ng ikinaganda nito: Naging malinis at tapat ang halalan sa ARMM; natuloy ang bilangan, natuloy ang proklamasyon ng mga may bagong mandato mula sa taumbayan. Dahil sa sipag ng ating mga pulis at kawal, at gayundin sa pakikiisa ng sambayanan, talaga naman pong ang eleksyon 2013 ay naging mas payapa at tahimik. Gayumpaman, may mga insidenteng nagmamantsa pa rin sa dangal ng ating kapulisan. Nabalitaan na naman siguro natin ang nangyari sa mga miyembro ng Ozamiz gang na sina Ricky Cadavero at Wilfredo Panogalinga: nahuli na, pero napatay pa. Tulad ng ginawa nating imbestigasyon sa nangyari sa Atimonan, sisiguruhin nating mananagot ang sinumang pulis na sangkot dito-- gaano man kataas ang kanilang ranggo. Kung sino man ang mga pasimuno dito: maghanda lang kayo. Malapit ko na kayong makilala. Sa kabila ng ganitong
mga kuwento, buhay na buhay po ang aking pag-asa sa hanay ng kapulisan. Hindi sila nagkukulang sa mabubuting halimbawa tulad ni PO3 Edlyn Arbo, na buong tapang na hinarap at tinugis ang isang holdaper sa nasakyan niyang jeep, off-duty man at walang dalang baril. Nariyan din po si PO3 Felipe Moncatar na umani ng samut saring papuri dahil sa haba ng listahan ng mga kriminal na kanyang nahuli. Ang ilan dito, kabilang pa sa most wanted persons sa Bacolod at miyembro ng malalaking sindikato. Baka narinig na rin po ninyo ang kwento ni PO2 Dondon Sultan. May nasiraan ng kotse sa kahabaan ng Quezon Boulevard; tigil naman si Ginoong Sultan para tumulong. Hindi lang po siya nagpalit ng gulong; inihatid pa niya sa kasa ang nasiraan. Bilang pasasalamat sa kanyang serbisyo, sinubok abutan ng 1,000 piso si PO2 Sultan. Tinanggihan niya ito. Ang kanyang sagot: Trabaho naming tumulong sa mamamayan. Saludo po kami sa mga tulad ninyong lingkod-bayan. Palakpakan po natin sina PO3 Arbo, PO3 Moncatar, at PO2 Sultan. Patunay kayong hindi pa endangered species ang tapat at mahuhusay na pulis. Inatasan ko na sina Kalihim Mar Roxas ng DILG, pati na rin si Kalihim Voltaire Gazmin ng DND, upang siguruhing ang mga katulad ninyo sa ating unipormadong hanay ay makakatanggap ng kaukulang pabuya. Idaragdag ko na rin po ang ating disaster relief workers mula sa maraming sangay ng gobyerno, pati na ang volunteers galing sa pribadong sektor. Alam ko pong hindi madaling lumusong sa baha, magbungkal ng putik, at humarap sa mukha ng pinsala. Hindi po ako magsasawang kilalanin ang inambag ninyo sa lipunan; saludo po ako sa pag-aalay ninyo ng sarili upang bawasan ang pagdurusa ng ating mga kababayan. Abot-kamay na rin po ang kapayapaan sa rehiyong
biyaya ng demokrasya. Dito po natin napatunayan: Nakikinig sa katuwiran ang Pilipino; kapag ipinakita mong malasakit ang iyong batayang prinsipyo, handa tayong makiisa. Bago po magbaklas ng mga bubong at magtibag ng mga pader, ipinaliwanag natin ang katuwiran ng ating desisyon: Maayos ang lilipatan, malapit sa sakayan, at kung magsisikap kayo, hindi magkukulang ang inyong pagkakakitaan. Nilinaw din po natin: Layunin nating magbigay-lingap sa mga nasa peligro hindi sa sindikato. Batid nating sa tuwing inaabuso ng ilan ang pagmamalasakit ng estado, ipinapain rin nila sa alanganin ang buhay at kabuhayan ng napakaraming Pilipino. Matapos nga pong maibiyahe ang isang pangkat sa relocation site, sila mismo ang nanghikayat sa mga dati nilang kapitbahay: Sumama na kayo. Mas ligtas dito. Ngayong taon po, prayoridad nating ilipat ang mahigit 19,400 pamilyang nagsisiksikan sa mga pangunahing daluyan ng tubig sa Metro Manila. Sa pagkakapit-bisig ng DILG, NHA, DSWD, MMDA, at DPWH, lumilinaw na po ang sagot sa suliraning ito. Isa pa pong halimbawa ng transpormasyon sa pamamahala: Di bat matagal ding nabinbin sa Kongreso ang mahahalagang batas? Nito pong nakaraang taon, naisabatas na, sa wakas, ang Sin Tax Reform Law at ang Responsible Parenthood Law. Nagpapasalamat tayo sa mga naging kasangga natin sa pagsusulong nito sa Kamara at Senado. Hindi ninyo inalintana ang mahabang proseso ng debate at konsultasyon; hindi kayo nagpadaig sa mga naghasik ng pagdududa upang harangin ang ating mabuting agenda. Tinitimbang ninyo kung ano ang kapaki-pakinabang sa mas nakakarami, at isinusulong ang tunay na serbisyo para sa Pilipino. Ilalapit ko na rin po sa ating Kongreso ang ilang batas na makakatulong sa pagpapatuloy ng nasimulan nating pagbabago. Maamyendahan na po sana ang Cabotage Law, upang mas mapalakas ang kumpetisyon, at mapababa ang gastos sa transportasyon ng ating mga sakahan at industriya. Maisulong na rin po sana ang Fiscal Incentives Rationalization Bill, upang maging mas tapat, malinaw, at may pananagutan ang mga insentibong ibinibigay natin sa mga negosyo. Paglaanan din po sana ng panahon ang Land Administration Reform Bill, upang maitimon sa iisang direksyon ang mga kawanihang nakatutok sa ating mga lupain, at nang sa gayon ay masigurong masinop at epektibo nilang magagawa ang kanilang trabaho. to be continued...
