NV eyes P67-M real property

tax from mining firm
BAYOMBONG, Nueva
Vizcaya -The provincial
government here is expected
to receive more than P67
million from OceanaGold
Phlippines, Inc. (OGPI) as
payment for its Real Property Taxes (RPT).
Lawyer Voltaire Garcia,
provincial legal officer, said
the amount represents
OGPI's RPT payments for
the year 2015 and 2016.
The provincial government is also waiting for the
court's decision on the interpleader case filed by OGPI
regarding its payment of
more than PHP29 million
and more than P33 million
as RPT payments for the
years 2013 and 2014.
The sudden payment
of OGPI's RPT to the province excludes the RPT for
2013 and 2014 because it is
under protest. So with this
agreement, we are expecting
a continuous payment of
their RPT to the provincial
government, Garcia said.

He said that the RPT

payment of OGPI has been
realized after the company
agreed to a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) with the
provincial government.
Garcia said the MOA
requires OGPI to pay its RPT
for 2015 to 2016 and onwards while there is an interpleader case filed including the mining firm's acceptance of sole responsibility
to deal with matters that may
arise should there be an opposition move from Quirino
province.
According to Garcia,
OGPI's sudden move to
settle their RPT payments
might have been triggered
by the directive from the
Department of Environment
and Natural Resources
(DENR) why the mining
firm should not be suspended.
OGPI is one of the mining companies included in
the list of mining companies
of DENR to be suspended

after a recent conduct of

audit of all mining companies in the country.
Garcia also said the
mining firm might have been
informed of the plan of the
provincial government to
implement administrative
remedies due to its tax delinquencies that will lead to
the auction of their properties based on the provisions
of the Local Government
Code.
This move was also
supported by the provincial
board who will authorize
Provincial Treasurer Rhoda
Moreno for this purpose,
he said.
OGPI operates its gold
and copper mining project
in barangay Didipio in
Kasibu town while it is being opposed by villagers,
anti - mining advocates
and local officials.
Once paid, the RPT
payment will be divided
and classified into 50 persundan sa p./2

Isabela handa na...

mula sa p./1
ng Isabela.
Namataan kasi ng pinaka-bagong mata ng bagyong
Lawin na hindi nagbabago ang kanyang tinatahak na
landas.
Pasado hapon ng October 19, nakitang tinatahak ni
Lawin ang landfall nito sa Palanan at masasapul din ang
Divilacan at Maconacon hanggang sa evacuation center
ng Dinapigue.
Maging ang mga gamit na computer machines sa loob
ng capitol building ay binalutan ng lahat ng yellow plastic
para hindi mabasa ng tagas ng tubig ulan na pumapasok
sa bubungan ng capitol building.
Nadala na kasi ang mga taga ground floor sa hindi
inaasahang pagkasira ng maraming computer machines
at mahahalagang official records na nangabasa dulot ng
mga nagdaang super typhoon.
Halos buong maghapon na nakatutok sina Governor
Dy, PA Noel Lopez, General Ramos, at mga miyembro ng
DRRMC Isabela sa patuloy na tracking ni Lawin.
Bago nagtapos ang pulong sa mga media at DRRMC,
isang taimtim na dasal ang pinangunahan ni Jesse James
Geronimo, Spokesman-PIO ng Provincial government na
humihingi na sanay basbasan at dasal na sanay
patnubayan ng Diyos ang lahat at sanay humina ang
puwersang delubyo na dala ni lawin sa Hilagang Luzon.

Munggo seeds for wet season available soon

SAN MATEO, Isabela A mongo seed variety which is
suitable for the rainy season will be available soon here,
Municipal Agriculturist Emiliano Camba recently said.
Munggo, locally known as balatong, is grown
shortly before the onset of the summer season when the
soil still holds substantial moisture.
Camba said the new seed variety, which will come from
the towns demonstration farms, will be distributed for
farmers soon who ventured in munggo production as
additional income source.
He said the only seed variety planted by farmers here

now are the drought resistant variety which is suitable

during the dry months.
The new seed variety is expected to increase the
towns annual munggo production which is now touted as
the countrys munggo capital, Camba said, encouraging
more farmers to consider alternate cropping of munggo to
keep them from being idle after the cropping season.
Besides its economic value, Camba added that munggo,
according to experts, is one of the most nutritious foods,
being a source of protein, calcium and iron. Merlito G.

Members of the 5th Infantry Division Disaster Response Task Group prepare their tools
and equipment for disaster response operations early this morning, October 15, 2016
at 5ID Gymnasium, Camp Melchor F Dela Cruz, Upi, Gamu, Isabela.

Karen brings continuous

heavy rains in both regions today, October 15,
2016.
5ID Commander,
BGEN PAUL T ATAL,
D.P.A. AFP advised all
units in Region 2 and the
Cordillera Region, especially those covering
low-lying areas, to be
prepared and be on
heightened alert for possible deployment to
evacuate and rescue residents affected by floods
and other disasters that
may be caused by Typhoon Karen.
The 5ID Disaster
Response Task Group led
by MAJOR JIMSON P
TALAMAYAN (INF) PA
is in full alert and ready
to be deployed anytime,
anywhere in 5ID area of
operation to respond to
emergency situation.

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan - Amid increasing incidents of carnapping here, Mayor Jefferson P.
Soriano urged the city law makers to fast track the
passage of the proposed chain-lock system ordinance
here.
Soriano, in a public hearing on peace and ORDER
situation here, said there was already an ordinance
proposed by former city councilor now Board Member Rosauro Resuello mandating all motorcycle owners to have their vehicles chain-locked when parked.
Aside from the city polices counter measures,
we still want to push for the enforcement of the chainlock system ordinance as an effective measure to prevent motornapping incidents, the mayor said.
Police Supt. Jessie Tamayao, city chief of police,
said motornapping is one of the issues of the city
police following the series of incidents even in the
past years.
Tamayao said that based on their records, most
of the stolen motorcycles were parked unattended
without locks in front of the victims houses or at
public places and were sold at a VERY LOW PRICE.
Soriano urged barangay officials here to further
strengthen their monitoring and patrolling activities
especially during midnight. Oliver T. Baccay

Mamba hinamon ang PENRO Cagayan; sampahan ng kasong

illegal logging operations sa Penablanca
TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan - Walang saysay ang kampanya laban sa illegal logging
kung walang napapanagot o nasasampahan ng kaso.
Ito ang binigyan diin ni Governor Manuel Mamba sa mga opisyal at kawani ng
Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office ng Cagayan.
Bagamat ikinatuwa ng punong panlalawigan ang ginawang aksyon ng PENRO sa tip
na ipinaabot mismo kay Gov. Mamba kaugnay ng mga kontrabandong kahoy sa Brgy.
Nanguilatan, Penablanca kamakailan ay wala itong kabuluhan kung hindi mapapanagot
ang mga nasa likod ng walang habas na pamumutol ng kahoy sa kagubatan.
Matatandaang higit 1,600 bd. ft. ng abandonadong assorted lumber ang nadiskubre
sa nasabing lugar ang sinamsam ng pinagsanib na pwersa ng PENRO, PNP at Task Force
Lingkod Cagayan ng Kapitolyo nitong nakalipas na mga araw.
Kaugnay nito ay hinamon ni Gov. Mamba ang pamunuan ni PENRO Felix Taguba at
CENRO Malana na sampahan ng kaso ang mga nasa likud ng illegal logging operations sa
Penablanca at mga karatig bayan.
Ayon sa gobernador alam at batid ng mamamayan kung sino ang mga protektor at
promotor ng illegal logging sa nabanggit na bayan.
Imposible din aniyang basta na lamang maaabandona ang mga natistis ng kahoy
kung walang pumutol nito kaya dapat mas paigtingin pa ng PENRO ang operasyon para
may managot at hindi lamang puro kumpiskasyon ang laman ng kanilang accomplishment
report.
Hindi aniya mangingiming pangalanan ni Gov. Mamba ang mga protektor at promotor
ng illegal logging sa Penablanca at Cagayan oras na hindi pa tumigil ang mga ito sa
kanilang iligal na gawaing pagpupuslit ng kahoy.

A likely yellow event afoot

THE Liberal Party and members of the yellow horde are jumping
in anticipation for the likely visit of the United Nations Special
Rapporteur Agnes Callamard to probe reported extrajudicial deaths
and the mob expects to use the occasion to fuel what is up to now
a lost cause which is the ousting of President Rodrigo Duterte.
Callamard said that she is merely waiting for confirmation by
official channels of the invitation letter that Executive Secretary
Salvador Medialdea had addressed to her.
One of those aching for the
UN probe is Sen. Leila de
Lima, for obvious reasons,
since it will provide the
needed breather as the trail in the probe on the drugs trade inside
the New Bilibid Prisons all leads to her and will likely go up to
higher yellow entities during the previous administration.
Since last month, de Lima has been egging the government to
issue an invitation to Callamard, who appears to have been already cooped by the yellow mob on the state of Dutertes antinarcotics campaign.
The Palace, through its invitation letter, encouraged Callamard
to also look into the deaths in the ranks of the police and not only
the drugs offenders. Such a request, however, may not be feasible
since the past probe conducted UN Special Rapporteurs consider
extrajudicial killings outside police or military operations while
police deaths were mostly the result of clashes during raids.
The New York-based international human rights group Human
Rights Watch (HRW) which had shown bias in favor of de Lima,
even demanding that the Senate reinstate her as chairman of the
committee on justice and human rights from which she was earlier booted out, has urged the UN to take in Matobato as a witness.
During his Senate testimonies, Matobato already proved himself a tainted witness due to his conflicting statements that appeared to have come out of a script.
HRW cited the detailed testimony of Matobato including his
claim on the alleged killings of around 1,000 people in Davao City
during Dutertes term as Mayor.

Has change come to Rody?

At the moment, it seems and
feels like change has come to
President Rodrigo Duterte.
Based on news reports on his trip
in Beijing China, Rody was fairly
diplomatic and with the usual
cuss words absent in whatever
he said for public consumption,
such as not breaking his ties with
the United States, as well as
China and any other country, and
stressed taht he will respect
whatever treaties have been
signed earlier.
This can translate to stating
that he is not breaking military
ties with the US, but will not
have military ties or agreements
with China or any other country.
He said as much earlier.
His latest statement can also be
taken as his explanation for his
independent foreign policy for
the Philippines. But despite honoring the existing treaties and
agreements, he also makes clear

that he will not be dictated upon

by any country on military moves
from another country with trade
and economic ties to the country.
A former Reagan aide, as
quoted in the New York Times,
said that due to President
Dutertes continuous tirades
against the United States, it
would be better for Washington
to let go of the Philippines as an
ally.
Former White House adviser
to the late US President Ronald
Reagan, Douglas Bandow said
the Philippines does not deserve
US assistance anymore due to the
Philippine Presidents unpredictable foreign policy.
President Duterte is not a reliable ally. The United States
should not allow such an unpredictable regime to be a trigger for
war, Bandow said.
Washington should drop the
mutual defense treaty and joint

mga nakakakilala sa kanya, sa
biglaang pagpanaw ng kilalang

Nalagutan ng hininga si dating batikang kongresista sa isang
kilalang medical center sa
Quezon City at naging bed ridden nitong mga nakalipas na
ilang buwan.

SP Secretary Manuel Boying

Si Tata Ago, tubong Reina

Bandow added that the Philippine President has the tendency to pull Washington into a
possible confrontation with
China amid the sea feud between
Beijing and Manila.
Insisting on defending the
Philippines irrespective of its actions is particularly dangerous.
Manila relies on American support rather than its own military
in confronting China and could
drag the United States into a conflict easily, Bandow said, adding that the Philippines needs
America far more than America
needs the Philippines. Manila
spends less than one percent of
its gross domestic product on its
military and its best ships are US
cast-offs. It doesnt help defend
the United States from anyone,
he said.
Bandow is way off in his
analysis. Its not the Philippines
that the US is ready to defend.
The US wants the Philippines as
its ally because this serves the US
interests, not the Philippine interest. Thats why the US wants at
least five bases for use of American troops so that if war beaks out
with China, the US will have the
advantage of a shorter distance to
hit China. Besides, for the elucidation of Bandow, it isnt the

Philippines that wants to wage

war against China, but the US
that does.
Bandow is also dead wrong
when he states that the Philippines, long subsidized and defended by America shows such
ostentatious disrespect and that
Rody should not be treated like a
co-equal and ally if he doesnt
behave like one.
America has long defended
the Philippines and worse, has
long been subsidized by the US?
Thats crap.
US was the
colonizer.US governed the Philippines. Filipinos were treated as
inferiors despite the fact that
they fought with the US during
the war.
Manila was the second worst
city destroyed during WW II but
US money was never poured for
its reconstruction. Instead, money
was poured into Japan, that was
the enemy of the US during the
world war.
Hell, even the US bases in the
country were rent free for the
Americans and for a 100 years.
Subsidized by the US? Thats BS.
Bandow himself said the Philippines best ships are US cast-offs.
Big White brother selling military
cast- offs to an ally while it gives
other allies missiles?

Bantayan ang mga buwitreng

WALO ang namatay sa
pananalasa ng super-bagyong
Lawin sa Northern Luzon noong
Huwebes ng madaling araw. Signal No. 5 ang lakas ng bagyo.
Grabeng tinamaan ang Cagayan
at Isabela kung saan nag-landfall
ang bagyo. Maraming pananim
ang nasira sa halos limang oras
na walang tigil na pagbayo ng
hangin. Grabe ang pagba-hang
naranasan dahil sa walang tigil
na pag-ulan. Maraming nawasak
na bahay at maraming kalsada
ang hindi madaanan dahil sa
nagbagsakang puno. Bumagsak
ang mga poste ng kuryente at
ayon sa report, matatagalan pa
umano bago tuluyang maibalik
ang power sa mga nasalantang
lugar.
Sa kabila na maraming
nasirang ari-arian, ma-rami pa rin
ang nagpapasalamat sapagkat
kaunti lamang ang namatay sa
hagupit ni Lawin, hindi katulad
nang manalasa ang bagyong
Yolanda sa Eastern Visayas
noong 2013 na 6,000 ang namatay.
Ayon sa mga residente ng
Cagayan at Isabela, ngayon lang
sila nakaranas nang ganoon
kalakas na bagyo. Ang maagap
na paglilikas sa mga residente
ang dahilan kaya kakaunti ang
mga napahamak. Hanggang sa
kasalukuyan, marami pa rin ang
mga nasa evacuation centers
sapagkat ang karamihan ay wala
nang uuwian dahil nawasak.
Marami sa evacuees ang umiiyak
sapagkat hindi nila malaman

kung paano magsisimula. Hindi

nila alam kung paano magtatayo
ng bahay.
Ang ganitong panahon ang
inaabangan ng mga buwitre o
mapagsamantalang negosyante.
Sa kabila nang sinapit, ang
pananamantala ang nasa isip ng
mga negosyante. Itataas nila nang
doble ang kanilang mga produkto
lalo na ang construction materials semento, yero, pako,
cocolumber at marami pang iba.
Ang pagkita nang malaki ang
kanilang iniisip.
Nararapat magbantay ang
Department of Trade and Industry sa mga mapagsamantalang
negos-yante.
Tiyak
na
sasamantalahin
nila
ang
pagkakataong ito. Isuplong sa
mga awtoridad ang mga
magtataas ng presyo. Hindi dapat
patawarin ang mga buwitre.

Sometimes God Changes Our Plans

BLURB:

Ministry involves trusting Gods timing when it doesnt fit ours.

so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. (Yes, I also baptized the
household of Stephanas; beyond that, I dont remember if I baptized anyone
else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospelnot with
wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. Christ
Crucified Is Gods Power and Wisdom For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power
of God. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate. Where is the wise person?
Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not
God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 2 Corinthians 1:15-20
This is a really tough section of scripture to understand if we dont have some
background. The Apostle Paul had made a commitment to come visit the Corinthians,
but then he changes his plans and doesnt His detractors accuse him of being
untrustworthyfickleIf we cant trust him with something like this how can
we trust his message about God?!!!
But heres the backgroundHeres the situation that changed his plansor at
least the timing of his plans to visit.
There is an individual who is part of the Church that has chosen to have an
adulterous relationship with his fathers wife. Theyve become a couple and it
seems that they still associate with all their Corinth Christian friendsThey continue to share life with the churchIm betting even meeting on the first day of the
week with them and taking the emblems of the Lords supper.
And the Church and its leadership instead of dealing with this sin and the
division its causing decides to ignore it in fact more than just ignore it They
begin to brag about how accepting they are how super tolerant they are
Pauls goal isnt to just kick this guy out His goal is repentance and hopefully restoration and forgiveness in the future.
Tolerantly watching someone standing on the train tracks while the train bears
down on them isnt the most loving thing you can do And Paul paints a very clear
picture that there is a difference between our old lives before Christ and our new

He also advises the US government to junk the Mutual Defense Treaty and the joint patrols.
Have I got news for Banslow.
Duterte would be so happy if
the US abrogates the treaties and
agreements with the Philippines.
But what appears is that which
Rody is really angling for is to expand the Philippine horizons
trade and economic ties with
other countries the US sees as
foes. Duterte has already made
it too clear that he doesnt want
war since everybody loses in a
war.

He has already made major

inroads in better trade and economic relations with China,
which is said to be interested in
building speed trains and trains,
of which are the very things the
country is in dire need, considering the countrys horrendous traffic situation, which will worsen
in the coming years, should there
be no move to improve the current traffic situation.
The President seems to be on
the right trade and economic path.
And if he has learned to be diplomatic and drops the cuss words
and insults, one can really say
that indeed, change has come to

lives in Christ.
One of the greatest lies of the evil one is you can believe in Jesus and not be
different from the world and still go to heaven. That you can give Jesus your life
and keep it at the same time Its a leaven that still affects the Church to this day.
And its in the midst of this situation that Paul had planned to visit Corinth and
Paul isnt afraid to deal with this sin or this sinful situation but if he comes to them
now it will involve a season of rebuke He would make their comfort zone really
uncomfortable His plans were to visit them on his way to Macedonia and then also
on his way back but he didnt because:
I. MINISTRY INVOLVES GODS TIMING NOT OURS. It seems Paul visited on his
way to Macedonia and that visit involved him dealing with division in the church,
worship services that had people meeting as cliques and getting drunk. It involved
this sexual sin and an apathetic tolerance of it by its leaders and people. Paul tried to
mend matters, but instead this visit nearly broke his heart.
Ministry always involves people and people are messy the hardest part of ministry is we cant fix people. No matter how much God loves them or we love them. They
can still choose to do destructive and unhealthy things inside the church and outside
of it. We all like sheep go astray. How long we stay astray or if we return to the Great
Shepherd depends upon Gods grace and each of our response to it.
Ministry involves trusting Gods timing when it doesnt fit ours. This part of
ministry absolutely broke Pauls heartand it absolutely breaks mine. I wrote you
out of great distress and anguish of heart and with may tears not to grieve you but to
let you know the depth of my love for you. (2 Cor. 2:4)
There are three truths we see here concerning Gods timing
1. We need to communicate our broken hearts to those we love. Paul doesHe
speaks the truth with love. He shares with those he loves what their actions are
doingbut he also shares how much he loves themand thats why it hurts so bad.
His words dont come from angry judgement They come from wounded brokenness.
Anger is an easy emotion to tap into.We can use it to control and frighten
those whove hurt usGrief is harderit makes us vulnerablePaul and each of us
know about angerbut in this circumstance he chooses to communicate his broken
heart.
2. The expectations we have for believers and non-believers shouldnt be the
same. Im not sure why when we become believersdisciples of Jesus, that many of
us then begin to judge lost peoplehurting people, with the same standard we would
use for Spirit filled Christians. This doesnt mean we condone sinful behavior or
say its okay. But why would people living in the world, outside of Christ be any other
way? Can we have relationships with lost people that allow the light of Christ to shine
in their darkness? If not, then we will never be what Jesus transformed us to be.
But if someone claims to be a believer and they continually live like the world,
make an ongoing sin, whether its sexual immorality, or gossip, their
lifestyleexpectations are different if they dont changechange your location and
your relationship. The hope is always repentance and godlinessbut if you allow
this leaven continually in your life, you will become like them. Be kind, but dont be
buddies! Paul wrote earlier to these same folks.

5ID strengthens relief operations for typhoon victims in Region 2

CAMP MELCHOR F DELA CRUZ, Upi, Gamu, Isabela
The 5th Infantry Division (5thID) fortified its efforts to assist in disaster relief operations as it opened its doors to
ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya to ensure the distribution of
relief goods to victims of Typhoon Karen and the incoming Typhoon Lawin.
Brig. Gen. Paul T Atal, D.P.A. AFP, Commander, 5ID
immediately advised the Office of the Assistant Chief of
Staff for Civil Military Operation, G7, to provide storage
for 250 sacks of food packs from ABS-CBN to be
prepositioned at the 5thID Headquarters, Camp Melchor F
Dela Cruz, Upi, Gamu, Isabela on October 18, 2016.
The storage of the food packs in the headquarters is
part of the 5th IDs efforts to ensure that relief goods are
ready for distribution as typhoon victims would need
them. This as Northern Luzon was recently bashed by
Typhoon Karen, causing damages to crops and infrastructures.
The relief goods are also part of the preparation for

the incoming Typhoon Lawin, a possible super typhoon

which was reported to hit Cagayan province on Thursday according to PAGASA.
The purpose of
prepositioning the goods at 5 th ID is to support the
governments Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR) efforts in Region 2.
The relief goods will be under the safekeeping of G7,
5thID and will be utilized jointly by the Philippines Armys

5th Infantry Division and ABS-CBN to augment government resources in times of calamity, particularly for the
Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) operations
for Typhoons Karen and Lawin.
Atal ensured ABS-CBN that the items are secured
and will be guarded for the benefit of the people. He added
that the Star Troopers are ready anytime to help them in
distributing the relief goods for the intended recipients.

sence of legal authority

to scarp the irrigation
fees, a number of farmers
in the region are not paying already their obligations to NIA, he said after President Duterte,
during his campaign rallies in May 9 elections,
promised to abolish the
ISF.
Toribio said without
the amendments, farmers
are still obliged to pay
the ISF this year to ensure the continuous operation of the irrigation
systems.
He said NIA collects
the ISF based on the
farmers harvest during
the wet and dry season.
For instance, farmers served by the
agencys diversion water
system are required to
pay the peso equivalent

of two cavans per hectare of harvest during the

wet season, and three
cavans in the dry season, he said.
He said the collected
ISF subsidized the operation costs of the irrigation
systems in the region particularly the PAYMENT of
the pumping stations
electric consumption.
We have major
pumping stations in
Cagayan which generate
an average of P76 million
electric bill alone aside
from other operating costs
and maintenance expenses, Toribio added.
Meanwhile, Toribio is
asking for the full cooperation of the farmers associations in the region in
helping NIA for the responsible payment of
ISFs. Oliver T. Baccay
