PDU30 sa Isabela Lawin victims: Marami

pang darating na tulong sa inyo
ILAGAN CITY, Isabela - Tiniyak ni Pangulong Rodrigo
Digong Duterte na may mas malaki pang tulong na
darating sa mga taga Isabela matapos dalawin ng pangulo
ang malaking bahagi ng Hilagang Luzon lalo na ang labis

Lawin ang Isabela.

PDU30 sa Isabela...
Ayon sa pangulo,
bagamat P37 million ang
inisyal na ayuda nito sa
mga
sinalantang
magsasaka ng palay at
mais, pinag-aaralan na ng
Palasyo ang panibagong
tulong pinansyal sa
larangan ng agrikultura.
Unang pinasadahan
ni Duterte ang lalawigan
ng Cagayan kung saan
sumentro sa Peablanca
at Tuguegarao City,
Cagayan ang bagsik ng
kanyang pagbagsak sa
kalupaan.
Sa kanyang mensahe,
tiniyak ni Duterte ang mas
malaking pondong ayuda
para sa agrikultura,
kalusugan at edukasyon,
gayunman anuman ang
mailalaan ng gobyerno
ngayon
ay
hindi
makasasapat sa malawak
na sinira ng bagyong

Naglaan naman ng P37
million ang Malakanyang
sa pamamagitan ni Sec.

Pinol

Ipinangako ni Duterte
na sa susunod na taon,
more budget, more aids
for Lawin victims sa
kadahilanang akda at
aprubado ang GAA 2016 ni
dating Pangulong Noynoy

Sen. Bongbong Marcos gives aid to Lawin-hit areas

CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela
Senator Ferdinand
Bongbong Marcos Jr. has
turned-over today a number
of generator sets and water
pumps to the hardly-hit local government units
(LGUs) here.
The Supertyphoon
Lawin, which battered
Isabela and Cagayan areas
last week, has left some of
the hardly-hit areas in total
black out due to damaged
electric posts and power
lines which up to now are
not yet restored.
Marcos said the generator sets and water
pumps are initial assistance
of his office as he vowed
to bring more aid here and
in other provinces severely
affected by Lawin.
The provinces recipient-LGUs of the generators
sets include the towns of
Tumauini, Cabagan, Santa
Maria, Santo Tomas and
San Pablo which experienced a total blackout until

now.
Meanwhile, Vice Governor Ben Glenn Ecleo of
Dinagat Island province
also personally turned-over
the P1 million cash assistance to the provincial government here for Lawin-affected Isabelinos.
Vice Governor Antonio
Albano and other officials
here appreciated the genuine concern showed by
Marcos and Ecleo in helping the province and its
people to immediately cope
with their losses and rebuild
their resources.
Marcos is has been
close to the people of
Isabela not only because of
the help that he hs been extending to them but also
because they speak the
same dialect.
Marcos won in the
province of Isabela duringf
the recent vice presidential
race defeating LP candidate
Leni Robredo. Merlito G.

Supertyphoon Lawin in the province.
Mamba said the preparedness and cooperation of the
people has reduced deaths and injuries during the onslaught of Lawin.
In line with the provincial governments aim for zero
casualties during disasters, we immediately implemented
the pre-emptive and force evacuation in areas declared to
be in imminent danger in times of disasters, such as, floodprone, landslide-prone and storm-surge prone, the governor said.
He said residents who heeded their call for pre-emptive
and force evacuation were transferred to safer grounds resulting in fewer deaths than expected.
Some affected families are still in evacuation centers
today as their respective houses were still submerged in
floodwaters, however, the provincial government and other
concerned agnecies are now providing their basic needs,
Mamba added.
He said they are now accepting donations which can
be deposited to the provincial government trust fund
through Land bank of the Philippines Account Number

by the typhoon until they will recover. Gene V. Baquiran

ISELCO-2 may Oplan Tulong Kapatid

sa Diwa ng Bayanihan

LP asks for help

THE Liberal Party (LP) has elevated the campaign to oust President
Rodrigo Duterte, consolidating its force to make known to the
United States that an alternative to the Duterte loud mouth is
available and at the same time stepping up calls for foreign
intervention against the president.
LP senators are launching a probe on Duterte capitalizing on a
statement made in his recent state visit to China that the country
is separating from the United States.
The probe was called on the pretext of inquiring into the
administrations foreign relations policy but is obviously meant to
add more fuel to the raging feud between Washington and Duterte.
Dutertes opponent, Sen. Leila de Lima in an interview with
British Daily The Guardian
was crying for foreign
intervention claiming that it is
the only way to stop stateinspired
extrajudicial
killings (EJK).
De Lima who has been doing the media rounds almost daily
claimed that she fears for her life, connecting the threats on her to
the investigation she initiated on extrajudicial killings.
ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda earlier issued a statement
saying her office was watching for signs of officials ordering,
requesting, encouraging or contributing to crimes against
humanity.
She encouraged the ICC to probe not only the president but
also his lieutenants, those who implement his orders.
Evidently the LP had pushed up its timetable for the oust
Duterte campaign which initially was reported to be launched by
the start of next year since the yellow mob prefers making their
move around January and February.
The Senate probe on the foreign relations policy is also a ploy
to continue the constant LP barrage on Duterte since de Limas
EJK probe has been terminated.
The goal is likely similar to the more than one year campaign
to vilify former Vice President Jojo Binay whose public acceptance
that soared even above Noynoy was slowly eroded by the constant
hurling of unsubstantiated allegations against Binay.
Of course, the other side of the coin is that de Lima and the LP
are stirring up support since the drugs scandal that Duterte is
committed to end all points to their likely deep involvement.
The LP is also counting on foreign help to speed up Dutertes
ouster.

Time to see a psychiatrist, Leila

SEN. Leila de Lima is so
desperate these days that she is
now in a hallucinatory state, as
she
now
accuses
former
President Gloria Arroyo, accused
pork barrel scam senators and the
Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) of
allegedly
using
President
Rodrigo Duterte to exact their
revenge against her.
At a press briefing with
Senate reporters yesterday, Leila

said powerful personalities

whom she had investigated and
charged in the past have
allegedly formed political
alliances to make her life
difficult.
Said she: Im referring to
personalities, especially the
powerful ones whose toes I
stepped on when I was the
Justice chief, even when this was
turn to p. 8

tunay na hangarin, mayroong

Ito ang nais iparating na
mensahe ni GM David Siquian
ng Isabela Electric Cooperative2 na nakabase sa Ilagan City.
Itoy may kaugnayan sa

Federalism an answer?
THE
Lower
House
has
constituted itself rapidly, and
with hardly any debate that the
public has been privy to, into a
Constitutional Assembly to push
Federalism and effectively
overhaul
our
system
of
government. They plan to change
the Constitution, if not replace it.
That is the sum and total of what
a move to Ferderalism will mean
as it is a drastic change of
government for us.
Yet who of us, and maybe of
them, really know what
Federalism entails by definition,
by historic data, and by
effectivity? Who is cognizant of
the social conditions from which
Federalism has arisen? Hardly
anyone. We may know the
countries that are federal but
there are gradations of such like
development levels, historical
data, and distinctive social
conditions that are not known or
recognized making it an
extremely tough subject to
understand, much less to craft
legislation or charter change to
implement. Particularly, if one
comes from the presidential/
unilateral type of government
which is where we will be
coming from. So, despite the fact
that some are sounding like it is
a done deal, we are actually
entering very alien territory.
Thus the subject needs
research, reflection, discussion,
debate in the context of our
prevailing circumstances. If not,
we might be proceeding from
ignorance and rush in where
angels fear to tread.
Therefore, the lecture on
Federalism that UP Political
Science Assistant Professor

Gene Lacza Pilapil delivered last

October 26 as the Ongpin Annual
Memorial Lecture (disclosure:
named in memory of my late
husband, Jaime V. Ongpin) was
just
what
the
present
circumstances need.
Professor Pilapil gave an in
depth outline of the current
political science literature about
the subject citing definitions,
categories, differences, in the
various areas that Federalism
affects governance, institutions,
fiscal
conditions,
social
circumstances, even arbiters in
case of overlapping functions,
disputes, impasses and many
other
vital
ramifications.
Federalism is a prominent subject
in what Professor Pilapil
identifies as the institutional
design literature, a political
science commentary involving
definitions, processes, divisions,
in governance under the Federal
system.
From what I heard this
literature presents a complicated
scenario that has emerged after
much study and analysis from the
leading political scientists of the
age each drawing their own
conclusions. I will not attempt to
paraphrase Professor Pilapil here
because it is a subject that is not
open
to
simplification.
Nonetheless, Professor Pilapil
delivered a factual, deeply
researched, dispassionate lecture
presenting
a
universal
commentary on the subject so
complete and thought-provoking
that his lecture should be for
public consumption as Con-Ass
gets going.
What I concluded from it was
turn to p. 8

Bigyang-linaw trahedya ng SAF 44

BALAK ni Justice Secretary
Vitaliano Aguirre na magkaroon
muli ng imbestigasyon sa
pagkamatay ng 44 na miyembro
ng Special Action Force (SAF).
Sa balak na ito ni Aguirre,
nabuhayan nang pag-asa ang
pamilya ng SAF commandos.
Para sa kanila, magkakaroon din
ng closure ang pagkamatay ng
kanilang kapamilya noong Enero
25, 2015 sa Mamasapano,
Maguindanao. Sa totoo lang ang
mga isinagawang imbestigasyon
ng Senado sa SAF 44 ay walang
nahukay na katotoha-nan at
naiwan lamang ang maraming
katanungan.
Ang
totoong
pangyayari sa Mamasapano
killings ay hindi nabatid.
Sa
isinagawang
imbestigasyon ng Senado noong
Enero, naulit lamang ang
pagtuturuan ng military general
at mga dating opisyal ng
Philippine National Police na

may kinalaman sa Oplan

Exodus. Itinuturo ng military
general ang dating- hepe ng
Special Action Force na hindi
naki-pag-coordinate sa kanila
kaya
hindi
nabigyan
o
napadalhan ng tulong habang
nakikipagbakbakan sa Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)
at Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom
Fighters (BIFF). Pero itinanggi
iyon ng dating hepe, maaga pa
lamang umano ay humingi na
siya ng artillery support sa AFP,
pero walang dumating na tulong.
Dahil hindi nasaklolohan,
nalagas ang 44 na miyembro ng
SAF. Ang 44 ang nagsilbing
blockingforce
sa
mga
sumalakay
sa
kubo
ng
teroristang si Marwan. Napatay
si Marwan.
Halos pitong oras na
nakipaglaban ang SAF 44 sa

Ayon sa ating

masamang masama ang loob
ng alkalde dahilan sa hindi
niya akalaing ginawa na
palang lutuan ng shabu ang
likurang bahagi ng kanyang
lumang bahay sa hiway ng
Brgy. District 1, Lungsod ng

Ayon sa alkalde, kampante

kinalaman sa clandestine
shabu laboratory sa kanyang
sarileng bakuran na kanyang

Ayon sa ating bubuwit,
alam nyo bang isang linggo na
ang nakalipas ng mapatay
matapos manlaban ang
dalawang Chinese Drug Lords
ay wala pang gustong
maglibing sa kanila sa takot
na baka sila imbitahan ng mg
awtoridad upang kalkalin ang
kanilang background.
Sabi ng ilang caretaker ng
Carbonel Funeral Parlor sa
Cauayan City, Isabela, nakatengga pa rin sa loob ng
morgue ang dalawang bangkay
at walang gustong maglagay
sa kabaong at kalaunan ay
mailibing sa sementeryo.
Ayon sa ating bubuwit.
Kapag walang umangkin at
magpalibing sa dalawang
Chinese national sa loob ng
ilang linggo, sila na mismo
ang magpapahukay ng libingan
sa public cemetery o sa private
memorial homes kasi baka
daw sa katagalan ay umamoy
at magreklamo ang mga
naninirahan malapit sa funeral
morgue.
Ayon sa ating bubuwit.
Lima sa kabarkada ng napatay
na drug lords ay mabilis pa sa

Aguirre kaya nais buksan ang
kalunus-lunos na pagkamatay
ng SAF 44 ay ang papel ng
United States sa Oplan
Exodus. Ayon sa report, may
nakitang Puti nang isagawa ang
pagsalakay sa bahay ni Marwan.
Isa pang nais malaman ng DOJ
ay kung sino ang nakakuha ng
$5-milyong reward ng US para sa
pagkakapatay kay Marwan at
ang malaking katanungan na
gustong masagot ay kung bakit
hindi nasaklolohan ng AFP ang
mga nasukol na SAF 44.
Kailangang
mabigyanglinaw ang sinapit ng SAF 44.
13TH MONTH PAY IBIBIGAY
NA
SANG-AYON
ako
sa
panukala ni Quezon City
Congressman Winston Castelo
na ibigay na sa unang linggo ng
Nobyembre ang 13th month pay
o bonus ng mga pribadong
kompanya sa kanilang mga
emple-yado. Tama ang sabi
niyang mas mabuti kung
maibigay ito ng mas maaga para
maplano
ng
ating
mga
kababayan ang kanilang mga
bibilihin. Alam naman natin na
habang papalapit ang Pasko ay
tumataas ang presyo ng mga
bilihin at kung minsan ay
nagkakaubusan pa ng stocks.
Sa ganitong paraan ang ating
mga
kababayan
ay
may
pagkakataong piliin ang mga
gustong bilhin para sa kanilang
pamilya. Lalo pa ngayon na
sabay-sabay ang mga sale sa
mall. Marami silang mabibiling
pang-regalo. Maiiwasan din ang
rambulan sa pamilihan.
Ang problema sa ating mga
Pilipino laging last mi-nute kung
gumalaw. Kahit sa pagbabayad
ng buwis at ibang bayarin, kung
kailan malapit na ang deadline
saka
nagkukumahog
magsipagbayad. Ganun din sa
pamimili kung kailan maraming
tao saka nakikipagsa-bayan at
ang resulta matinding trapik.
Ngayong taon, kumilos tayo
nang mas maaga para maiwasan
ang matinding siksikan na
lalong
tumitindi
habang
papalapit ang Pasko. Kapag
pinakinggan ng employers ang
pakiusap
ni
Castelo,
mababawasan ang pagsisikip ng
trapiko at siksikan ng mga tao sa
mall lalo na sa Metro Manila.
Para sa akin, maganda ang
panu--kalang maibigay ng mas
maaga ang bonus ng mga
manggagawa.
Sa kabila nito, ito ay isa nang
batas. Mabuting ma-ibigay na ito
nang maaga sa kanilang mga
empleyado para maiwasan ang

pagbabalik ng serbisyo ng
kuryente.
Pumalo sa Ph 70 million

linya ang bumagsak, mabuti na
lang at ang mga Kapatid nating

Sinisikap ng pangasiwaan
ng ISELCO-2 na maibalik ang
serbisyo ng kuryente doon sa
kanilang

SABAK NA NAMAN SI
PACMAN
SASABAK na naman sa
boxing ang ating pambansang
kamao sa Nob. 5, makakalaban
niya si Jessie Vargas sa Thomas
& Mack Center, Las Vegas. Ayon
kay Freddie Roach hindi
madaling kalaban si Vargas,
kaya dapat maghinay-hinay si
Manny, baka makakita ng
tiyempo si Vargas makatikim na
naman siya ng lucky punch,
kagaya ng pinamalas ni Juan
Manuel Marquez, at ngayon
ayaw na siyang kalabanin nito.
Ang hirap dito kay Manny
marami siyang gustong gawin,
andyan ang boxing, basketball,
pulitika at iba pa. Sana naman
tuluyan na niyang tinalikuran
ang mga bisyo niya noon, ayon
sa kanya iwinaksi na raw niya
lahat dahil siyay isa nang born
again Christian. Alam kong
gusto nya uling bumalik sa
eksena, bakit hindi na lang siya
magpokus sa boxing, puwede rin
naman siyang tumulong sa ating
mga kababayan kahit wala sa
pulitika. Nang nanalo sa pagkasenador sabi iiwan na ang
boxing. Ang problema kailangan
siyang kumalas sa Top Rank
producer, Bob Arum. Puwede
naman nyang sabihin na ayaw
na niya at kung halimbawang
idemanda siya kaya naman
nyang lumaban.
Para sa akin mas maganda
ang laban ni Nonito Donaire at
Jessie Magdaleno, yan ang
dapat maging top bill dahil
parehong
magaling
ang
maglalaban. Ngayon ko lang
makikita si Manny na may
kasamang Pilipino sa laban.
Balita ko ibinargain ni Bob
Arum ang ticket sa halagang $50
para lang mapuno ang Thomas
& Mack Center.
Kung maaalala nyo nung
naglaban
sila
ni
Floyd
Mayweather Jr. halos mapuno
ang MGM Grand, kung saan
halos umabot ang ticket sa
$3,500
sa
black
market.
Nakatikim siya ng pagkatalo
kahit walang knock out, dahil
ang style ni Mayweather ay
cleans and run. Ayaw na rin
siyang bigyan ni Mayweather ng
rematch.
Sana makapag-isip-isip na si
Manny na dapat huwag nang
bumalik sa ring, tama ang
kanyang pamilya, magpokus na
lang sa paggawa ng batas.

Pasko sa mga napakalayong

sitios ng San Mariano at Benito
Soliven.
Kabilang sa mga dumating
na kooperatiba at independent
power providers ay ang Tarlac

Coop., Pangasinan Electric

So far, unti unti ng

Karen leaves over P48M

damages to agri-fisheries
in NVizcay
BAYOMBONG, Nueva
Vi z c a y a Ty p h o o n
Karen has left more
than P48 million worth of
damages in agriculture
and fisheries sectors in
the province.
Alexander Domingo,
provincial agriculturist,
said the initial damages
cover the 15 municipalities of Nueva Vizcaya.
He, however, said
the extent of the damages
is still initial and may increase with the damages
also left by typhoon
Lawin last week.
This will increase
soon with the submis-

sion of reports from other

municipalities who were
also affected by the fury
of typhoon Lawin,
Domingo said.
He said the series of
typhoons hit agricultural
crops in their maturity
and vegetative stages.
Domingo said the
hardest hit towns in terms
of area of affectation were
the municipalities of
Aritao, known as the onion capital of the province, and Bambang where
the Nueva Vizcaya Agricultural Terminal (NVAT)
is located. Ben Moses

DSWD assures support

for typhoon-victims
TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Judy
Taguiwalo assured the typhoon-hit areas in theCagayan
Valley region of their continuous and speedy delivery of
relief goods to all local government units (LGUs) affected
by Supertyphoon Lawin.
Taguiwalo, who is now in the region to personally
deliver 1,200 relief goods for affected families in Isabela
and Cagayan, said typhoon victims whose houses were
totally blown down will receive P30,000 while those with
partially damage houses will get P10,000.
We will release the emergency shelter assistance immediately just like what we did in Batanes so that the victims will recover from the typhoons aftermath, the Secretary said.
She said they have enough stockpile of relief goods
and stand-by funds for immediate assistance to all displaced families and they are ready to augment the resources
of affected LGUs.
Our Quick Response Teams (QRTs) in affected regions are on a 24/7 operations and are in continuous coordination with the LGUs for the situational analysis and
assessment on the effects of Lawin, Taguiwalo said,
adding that their field workers are continuously coordinating with the LGUs in the affected areas to get a clear picture of the situation and expects these numbers to change
in the coming days.
Franco Lopez, Disaster Focal Person of DSWD regional office, said prior to the landfall of Lawin, they already prepositioned food and non-food items in various
LGUs regionwide worth P4.3 million.
Lopez said the prepositioned food and non-food items
are in the forms of family packs, sacks of rice, assorted
canned goods, bottles of water, plastic mats, blankets, laminated sacks and mosquito nets.
We still have 13,000 family food packs ready for distribution, Lopez added. Gene V. Baquiran

NVizcaya dad condemns 'Jueteng'

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya Provincial board member Edgardo Balgos recently condemned the proliferation of illegal
numbers game in the province.
Gambling is a game of chance where it encourages laziness among the people. It gives false hope to the people
making families as indolent citizens, he said in his privilege speech.
Balgos also called on national and local officials, the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the National Bureau of
Investigation (NBI) to eliminate the illegal numbers game in the 15 towns of the province.
They are even using on-line gaming permit to give a color of authority. However, it is still illegal and immoral, he said.

Sometimes God Changes

Our Plans
...continuation
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 ac-

tions 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.
When Paul says we are not to be yoked together
with unbelievers and we are to have nothing to do
with believers who continually live in sinHes
sayingprotect your holinessguard your
heartDo not be misledbad company corrupts
good morals. (1 Cor. 15:33)

ORDER
In compliance with the order dated March
15, 2016, petitioner through counsel, Atty.
Leogina S. Palanca, filed an Amended Petition
for Cancellation of the Certificate of Live Birth
of Chaudery Imteshal Muhammad Acua Nawab
Din under LCR No. 2002-1345 of LCR-Alicia and
Correction of Entries in the Certificate of Live
Birth of Imrhan Acua under Registry No. 2003201 of LCR-Cauayan, Isabela and Use of the
Name Chaudery Acua.
A reading of Sections 4 and 5, Rule 108 of
the Rules of Court shows that the Rules mandates two sets of notices to different potential
oppositors, one given to the persons named in
the petition and another given to the other persons who are not named in the petitions but
nonetheless may be considered interested or
affected parties. Summons must, therefore, be
served not for the purpose of vesting the courts
with jurisdiction but to comply to the requirements of fair play and due process to afford the
person concerned the opportunity to protect his
interest if he so chooses.
It is clear from the records that the petition
for cancellation or correction of an entry in the
Birth Certificates of Chaudery Imteshal
Muhammad Acua Nawab Din in the civil register involves substantial and controversial alterations, particularly that the legitimacy of paternity or filiation, or legitimacy of marriage. Thus
a strict compliance with the requirements of
Rules 108 of the Rules of Court is mandated and
his parents as indicated in the Birth Certificate
under LCR No. 2002-1345 name Olivia Torres
Acua and Abdol Razak Bin Nawab Din and
under Registry No. 2003-201 namely Teresa T.
Acua and no fathers name was indicated, must
be impleaded and notified. If the entries in the
civil register could be corrected or changed
through mere summary proceedings and not
through appropriate action wherein all parties
who may be affected by the entries are notified
or represented, the door to fraud or other mischief would be set open, the consequence of
which might be detrimental and far reaching.
Accordingly, this Order is hereby issued setting the case for initial hearing, to with:
This I verifies petition filed by the petitioner
through counsel fot Cancellation of the Certificate of Live Birth of Chaudery Imteshal
Muhammad Acua Nawab Din under LCR No.
2002-1345 of LCR-Alicia and Correction of Entries in the Certificate of Live Birth of Imrhan
Acua under Registry No. 2003-201 of LCRCauayan, Isabela and Use of the Name
Chaudery Acua. The erroneous certificates of
birth will cause confusion if not rectified, hence,
this petition.
Finding the same to be sufficient in form and
substance, let this case be set for hearing on
NOVEMBER 8, 2016 at 8:30 oclock in the morning. Let this Order be published once a week
for three (3) consecutive weeks in a newspaper
of general circulation in the province of Isabela
as required by Law. Let copy of this Order be
furnished the (1) Office of the Solicitor General,
(2) Provincial Prosecutor, (3) LCR-Alicia, Isabela,
(4) Civil Registrar-General, NSO, Manila, (5)
Olivia Torres Acua, (6) Abdol Razak bin Nawab
Din and (7) petitioner through counsel.

that Federalism would replace our

Constitution if not completely, still in such a
major way as to be an overhaul of the way
we are governed and the way we will relate
to governance. A complete overhaul it may
be said that will bring us to the strange and
unfamiliar and possibly cause an inability to
accept or get used to. This is because it will
supplant a way of governance that has been
in place about 30 years from People Power
and before that from the end of WWII to
Martial Law which has been accepted and
tolerated all along despite the problems and
the upheavals along the way. Also, since it
will turn the country into federal areas in
effect separating each from each other, we
will be keeping our regional if not tribal
identities in place and desisting from forging
a stronger national identity which we badly
need to do to reach a better level of
nationalism, a stronger motivation to be
united good citizens, and provide more
openings for emerging national leaders rather
than the equivalent of tribal chieftains, feudal
lords and dynasties that at present control
more than 40% of our regions.
Furthermore, with the poverty level,
uneven education and other social problems
that we presently still have, Federalism
which demands equal resources, education,
economic well-being so as to provide for the
federal way of institutions and governance
by individual states, will exacerbate
problems in the have-not regions. For the
more well-off states the temptation for elite
capture may be too irresistible for those who
have the resources.
And even the have-nots will be

vulnerable to this as no centralized power

will be strong enough to counter it in the new
system.
The black legend of Imperial Manila has
seemingly taken hold of the outposts of our
archipelago. Drastic detachment from a
central government seems to be the solution
with visions of independence, self-reliance,
equality, a better life. Could not such a reality
as the present status (if it is not a myth) be
reformed, revamped, improved within the
same Constitutional tenets and governance
parameters rather than embarking on a risky
new and difficult creation? We have many
good laws with high goals that have not
delivered their mission because of the
inability to implement them as required due
to the existing social conditions that impede
them.
Many of our laws do not deliver the goals
that prompted them to be made. When
discontent and disillusion set in after too high
hopes are raised, there can be the rebound to
a figure who promises Paradise under
authoritarian rule. It could happen if we are
not sufficiently studious, thoughtful, and
realistic and jump from the frying pan to the
fire.
As one member of the audience said at
the open forum, in the debate/discussion that
we hope will happen on the subject of
Federalism, one excellent resource person
would
be
Professor
Pilapil
who,
comparatively speaking, has in-depth
knowledge of the subject. Both those who
contemplate or do not contemplate
Federalism now, particularly Con-Ass
members, should educate themselves about
it before taking the leap. This is not resistance
to change as much as managing change
rationally.
Meanwhile, the sudden designation of the
Con-Ass sounds like the train wants to get
off too quickly without checking the rail
conditions.

my job to investigate.
They are high-profile cases. Some
people keep on blaming me until now for
having barred Mrs. Arroyo from traveling.
And even the President said that I will suffer
the same fate of former President GMA. In
other words, I will rot in jail, Leila said.
Thats proof? From what Leila is saying,
she clearly has no proof and she is merely
speculating, as usual.
In the case of Mrs. Arroyo, Leila
expounded, Gloria had been barred from
leaving for abroad by Immigration, which is
an agency under the Department of Justice
(DoJ). This was done despite the Supreme
Court (SC) ruling for government not to bar
her from leaving the country.
At that time, there were no cases filed
against Gloria, and armed by the permission
granting her departure, Leila issued a watch
list which she claimed gave her the power to
bar whoever she wanted. Yet Leila must have
known that her watch list order is not a hold
departure order as it is only the courts that
can issue HDOs as well as permission for
persons to travel. Gloria certainly had the SC
have her permission to leave.
De Lima, the DoJ secretary then, claimed
that her watch list had to be enforced as the
government has yet to receive a copy of the
SC order then.
Thats a blatant lie, considering the fact
that the SC permit for Gloria to leave for
abroad was all over the media, and along with
it, the fact that the Justice Department
building is right next door to the SC building.
She knew the order was coming and she left
her office early, to avoid getting a copy of the
SC ruling.
What Leila refuses to admit is the fact that
she and Noynoy Aquino, then President,
barred Gloria from leaving, despite her not
having been charged as yet, and that she and
then Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes
quickly manufactured a charge of electoral
sabotage, which is a non-bailable offense, to
ensure that she would be jailed.
What Leila did was deliberate, to the point
of ignoring the SC order for government not
to bar Gloria from leaving the country.

Leila also accused a lawyer of Gloria, the

INC and the Priority Development
Assistance Fund (PDAF) commonly referred
to as pork barrel senators whom Leila
selectively investigated and filed charges
before the just as selective Ombudsman,
Conchita Carpio-Morales quickly charging
them.
Leila says they are all allies today, GMA
forces, and the PDAF senators.
I know they have people who make her
life difficult, Leila said.
These are the forces that have formed
an alliance with the President. They were
able to access the President, which is why
they are fanning the Presidents anger at me,
helping the President for their own respective
agenda, which is also to get back to me.
Payback time is what they think as they keep
on moving against her.
De Lima said one or two senators
charged for their involvement in the multibillion PDAF scam also have an ax to grind
against her.
Maybe not all three. My just one of them.
Thats based on my own information but as I
said I cannot validate fully or conclusively,
she said.
Leila recalled that in a past confirmation
hearing by the Commission on Appointments,
one of the members opposed her appointment
and threatened to reveal an alleged sex video.
I dont have to name him. I think you
know, she said, referring to then Sen.
Jinggoy Estrada.
What Leila does not say is the fact that
Estrada, in the end, no longer opposed her
confirmation.
Obviously, Leila has become too paranoid
and having too many hallucinations.
What is clear is that it is Rody Duterte
who has been vocal against her on the illegal
drugs trade in the New Bilibid Prison. Is Liela
claiming that these persons she accuses who
are fanning Dutertes anger against her?
One need only to see that Dutertes anger
at her is clearly fueled by whatever Leila
says against him first.
It is time for Leila to see a psychiatrist.
She probably needs medication immediately.
This is the problem when one is caught
doing illegal and could no longer defend
themselves, they presume to be insane.
De Lima is not spared from this, she is

Dutertes Japan, China gambit to create 2.4 million jobs, labor group says
BIG workers group the Associated Labor Unions
(ALU) said around 2.4 million jobs, particularly in the
construction sector, would
be created by a raft of prospective
investment
projects worth $15 billion

made between China and

Philippines during the recent visit of President
Duterte in Beijing last week.
In his two-day trip to
Tokyo beginning yesterday, Duterte is expected to
close the deal for the financ-

ing for the envisioned

Mindanao Railway project.
These projects are
expansive and comprehensive that if it pushes
through we estimate it
would create an immediate
2.4 million jobs for Filipinos

over a period of three years.

If these are constructed altogether at the same time,
we might need additional
skills especially those
skilled Filipino OFWs repatriated from Saudi Arabia as
a result of Saudization,

said Alan Tanjusay, spokesperson of the ALU.

These
investment
pacts are thus far the most
substantial and very strategic ever to be built in the
country in most recent
years following the shift of
Duterte administration to
pursue an independent foreign policy.
Aside from much
needed railways, roads and
bridges, the investment
agreement also plans to
build strategic communications and logistics hubs
designed to spur development activities in the countrysides and stimulate the
rural economy and employment opportunities.
Aside from Filipino
construction workers who
would directly benefit from
these investments, we are
looking at the allied job opportunities that will be created as a result of the construction of projects. Small

and medium businesses

will start to converge
around these projects to
cater to the needs of the
workers, engineers, architects, etc and as well as the
material needs of the
projects itself, Tanjusay
said.
The Saudization
policy of the Saudi Arabia
government is the giving of
priority and preference to
local Saudis on employment
opportunities. An estimated
700,000 skilled and professional Filipino workers are
being affected by the phenomenon since it was implemented in June 2011.
In the Labor Force
Survey released on January
this year, 7.6% of the 40 million workforce are employed
in the construction sector.
In other hand, the same survey showed there are 7.881
million unemployed and
2.468 million underemployed Filipinos.

Lawin leaves 5 dead, thousands homeless in Region 2

TUGUEGARAO CITY,
Cagayan - At least five
people were reported
killed after Supertyphoon
Lawin (international
name Haima) slammed the
Cagayan Valley Region on
Wednesday
evening,
leaving thousands of
families homeless particularly in Cagayan and
Isabela areas.
In a meeting today,
the Regional Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management
Council
(RDRRMC) of region 2
identified the casulaties
as Rosita Rombaua and
Arlene Tagavillia, both
from Baggao, Cagayan,

Marcos Cabaldo from

Palanan, Isabela, Salvador
Romero from Solana,
Cagayan and Sheryl
Baccay from Iguig,
Cagayan.
Franco Lopez of the
Department of Social Welfare and Development
(DSWD) regional office
said there were some other
reported casualties, however, the RDRRMC is still
verifying if the reports are
accurate and the deaths
are typhoon-related.
In their consolidated
reports, Lopez said there
were 841 totally damaged
houses and 3,705 partially
damaged as of today in

Isabela and Cagayan areas.

He said some 12,715
families or 55,776 persons
in 342 barangays all over
the region were affected
by the typhoon.
Some affected families are still in evacuation
centers today as their respective houses still
submerged in floodwaters. Their basic needs
are now served by the
DSWD and other concerned agencies, Lopez
said.
Lopez said local authorities and other concerned agencies have yet
to determine Lawins to-

tal damage particularly to

properties, infrastructure
and agriculture.
He said three teams
for the Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs
Analysis (RDANA) are
now deployed in the severely devastated areas
in the region.
The teams, he added
are composed of RDANtrained men from the different government line
agencies and non-government organizations in
Region 2 and those from
regions 10 and 6 and
some international organizations. Oliver T.

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya Typhoon Lawin left

damages to crops and infrastructure here but did not claim
casualties.
With its strong winds deflected by the provinces
mountain shields of Caraballo, Sierra Madre and Cordillera
ranges, Lawin failed to make a heavy toll on houses and
other infrastructure projects.
The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management
Office (PDRRMO) reported a zero casualty rate after the
typhoon.
Genaro Basilio, Jr., acting PDRRM officer, said they
are in the process of consolidating the damages of both
typhoon Karen and Lawin.
Because of the typhoons that happened this week,
we may have damages and degree pf affectation that would
merit the declaration of a state of calamity, he said.
Basilio, however, said that the province was generally
spared by the typhoon because of pre-emptive evacuation efforts made by local government units and barangay
officials.
Relief assistance is available at the provincial government should municipalities and barangays affected need
them. They only need to provide us a report of their respective communities, Basilio said.
The national highway from Diadi to Sta. Fe towns is
passable to all types of vehicles with light to moderate
traffic due to road works along portions of the Maharlika
highway.

Mallig, Quirino, Naguilian,
San Manuel, San Mariano
siyam lahat na bayan ay
bagsak lahat ng kuryente
kasi putol ang mga
distribution lines.
Paliwanag ni GM
Siquian, 98 percent na
halos ang naibangon na
backbone-distribution lines
sa mga bayan ng Quezon,
Sto Tomas, Delfin Albano,
San Pablo, Cabagan,
Tumauni at Sta.Maria ay
patapos na sila in span of
one week sa malaking
naiyambag ng ating mga
kapatid mula sa ilang

Dagdag pa ni GM
Siquian, kapag natapos na
ang 9 na bayan papasok na
sila sa Delfin Albano, Sto.
Tomas, Quezon, Tumauini
at Sta. Maria para
magtulong-tulong
sa
paggawa ng distribution
lines.
Dito kasi totally
walang kuryente kaya
paspasan ang pagbabaun
ng
concrete
poles
hanggang sa makarating
sila sa mga secondary lines
at ang huli ay ang mga
napagot na drop wires sa

mga residencia medyo mas

madali na sa tulong na rin
ang maraming private
contractors-electrician
bahala na ang mga may-ari
ng bahay, basta tulongtulong, sabi ni Siquian.
Anya mas mapapadali
na ang pagkakabit ng drop
wires sa mga bahay pero
problema pa rin ang mga
nasa laylayang sitios lalo na
iyung walang mga tulay
patungo sa mga interior
barangays na kung saan
nakumpleto na ng ISELCO2 ang ilang sitios na naenergized, pero ngayon
nawalan muli ng serbisyo
dahil kay Lawin.
Sa ginawang pagtaya
ng ISELCO-2 pumalo sa Ph
70 million ang total damages
sa buong ISELCO-2 lines,
mabuti na lang anya may
lagi silang buffer stocks ng
poste, rolyo ng wires at
transformers. Abot din sa
800 concrete poles ang
nabali kaya lagi silang may

After Lawin, state of calamity declared in Cagayan

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Philippines The provincial government of Cagayan has
declared a state of calamity throughout the province due to the heavy damage brought
by Super Typhoon Lawin (Haima).
Lawin hit land in Peablanca, Cagayan at 11 pm Wednesday, October 19.
The Cagayan provincial information office said Governor Manuel Mamba issued
Executive Order No. 8 placing the province under a state of calamity.
The declaration of a state of calamity came two days after the typhoon hit the province,
with the victims still clamoring for housing aid and relief goods from government.
Mamba said he already issued the executive order since the provincial board members
have yet to convene and act on his recommendation to declare state of calamity.
In his declaration, Mamba said the province has suffered widespread destruction and
substantial damage to properties.
There are about 75,000 affected families, 34,421 partially blown houses, and 9,306
totally damaged houses.
In the summary report issued by the Cagayan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (PDRRMC), damage to agriculture is estimated to be worth P6.3
billion.
They have also so far recorded P121-million worth of damage in infrastructure in 6
municipalities. These infrastructures include irrigation systems, farm-to-market roads,
government facilities, including school buildings and bridges.
There are also reports of overpricing or profiteering and hoarding of prime
commodities, medicines, and petroleum products, Mamba said.
Mamba has directed all department heads and concerned offices to implement rescue,
relief and rehabilitation, and to provide basic services to affected towns. Raymon Dullana/
