The nationwide contest dubbed, 2013 National Search for Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Schools, is a direct response to Republic Act No. 9512 also known as the Environmental
Awareness and Education Act of 2008. Munsayac said it is also the Philippine initiative in support to the declaration of 2012 as the ASEAN Environment Year with the theme Environmental Awareness thru Eco-Schools, and the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). The contest was also organized to highlight achievement of schools that are committed in implementing various environmental programs. Open to all elementary, high school and tertiary school levels, both public and private, the activity aims to encourage schools and academic institutions to become more actively involved in environmental issues at a practical and local level. It also aims to develop skills and understanding among students, faculty and school administrators to initiate active responses and increase community awareness and involvement on environmental concerns.

her liberty to defend her side and protect her children and family from what she branded as unfair reporting. Now that the court had issued the warrant for her arrest, it would do well for her to come out and face the charges. Any attempt to run from the law would place her in greater trouble. The call is for her to come out in the open and extricate herself from the charges. With her tale before the editors and reporters of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, she must have the courage to prove herself against all the accusations which she branded as unfair. On the other hand, government authorities need to implement the arrest warrant issued by the court in order to preserve public trust in our justice system. This is one proverbial big sh that government needs to demonstrate its political will and show the people that it is serious is stopping the alleged perpetrator of a big time scam from further doing her nefarious trade to steal more from government.

The notorious lady had been roaming freely enjoying her liberty as she mounts her defense against the charges leveled against her. She even had the gall to attempt to gain a reversal of the news stories that saw print in prestigious national broadsheets, chief of them the Philippine Daily Inquirer where the suspect sought for an audience allegedly with the editor-in-chief but turned-out as a roundtable discussion. She portrayed herself as a victim of unfair accusations. She, however, could not pinpoint the alleged unfair aspects of the published reports. She begged for a stop to what she branded as unfair and unjust reporting by the national broadsheet.

She told me the other conductor is wrong, because in her 19 years in the service, he never did mistake in the computation of
fares. I told her to show the ticket with P15.00 fare to the inspector who happened to come on board.

I own an enviable kitchen sink. Tiled, abundant tap, and wide enough to accommodate a weeks unwashed dishes and believe it! It yields fresh eggs day in and day out. How? One morning while doing the dishes, my shehen, Gallena cackled right under my very feet and wanted to get out. Surprised why she was inside my house, and under my very sink I asked my little boy, only to be casually enlightened that the
daily fresh eggs served to me during breakfast are laid by this hen right before me. I could not trust my boys judgment. Immediately, I stooped to validate what was under my sink that made it an attractive egg laying-ready nest. To my surprise my open frying pan was ready to double as daily nesting place of this extraordinary hen. What a beautiful hen? Imagine, fresh eggs in my frying pan! All I have to do is crack one and heat it.

Budget Secretary Florencio Abad bared that there will be no salary increase for government workers next year as there are no funds in the proposed 2.26 Trillion 2014 national budget for new round of salary increase. The government has just completed the 4 year salary adjustment under the Salary Standardization Law (SSL) III. Salaries already comprise a large part of the national budget. SSL III was the third part of the multi-year salary adjustment program for government workers whose pay rates have doubled. For instance, President Aquinos basic pay now is 120,000 a month. It used to be 60,000. The monthly salary of members of Congress is 90,000 a month. It use to be P 40,000. Supreme Court Justices now have a takehome pay of 130,000 a month.

He said that he was only able to give Naquila P2,750. According to him, several other municipal local operations o cers acceded to the demand of Naquila. But they would not come out in the open because they are afraid that he might take action against them, the o cial added. It was learned that the money was taken from the P30,000 grant by the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) to 17 local government units in Eastern Samar intended for their trainings on antipoverty programs. e NAPC grant was downloaded to the bene ciary local government units. Eastern Samar has 23 towns and one city, Borongan. e two local operations o cers said that the demand of Naquila put them into quandary as to how they could liquidate the fund. Balase, for one, said that he had to use the papers of his travel to Legaspi City to justify the lacking P3,000 he gave to Naquila. His January, 2013 travel to Legaspi was also related to the NAPC training, he said. e other local operations o cer said that he just used the allocation of his o ce on supply and materials as a way to ll the P3,000. But Naquila dismissed the allegation against him. I am denying their allegation against me. I never asked money from any one of them, Naquila, who was appointed to his post November, 2012, said. Naquila said that the complaint against him could be traced to what he claimed personal grudge by the complainants. He said that they were not doing their work as local operations o cers as he had issued several memoranda addressed to them for their poor quality of work. ey are taking my action against me. is are all work; nothing personal, Naquila. The regional office of the DILG is now conducting an investigation on this matter upon the order of Director Pedro Noval, Jr. Noval said that he tasked the regional legal o cer, Cyril Blanco, to conduct a fact- nding investigation on the matter. Blanco started the investigation on August 14. e DILG regional director also said that Naquila remains to be the provincial director of Eastern Samar adding that due process is being observed in this issue.
from page 1 We know that what he was doing was wrong. But what can we do, he is our boss, our provincial director. We just gave in to his demand, Noerito Balase, municipal local government operations o cer of Oras town, said in a phone interview. He alleged that he personally gave the P3,000 to Naquila at his o ce in Borongan City, the provincial capital, sometimes last March. He was the one who received the money inside his o ce. I le immediately a er I gave the money to him. ere was no receipt or whatsoever issued by him, Balase added.
Balase, in his complaint, claimed that Naquila called 17 municipal local operations o cers at his o ce in Borongan City on January 9 and informed us that he will be collecting an amount of P3,500 as standard operating procedure for him Balase submitted the complaint to their central o ce. But while Naquila allegedly asked for P3,500, the eventual amount that he gave was only P3,000 as a sort of a compromise as other local operations ofcers expressed their disapproval on the demand of their boss.
