MANILA - Police arrested Tuesday three Chinese nationals involved in illegal drug trade in operations in Manila and Cavite, resulting in the seizure of almost 40 kilograms of alleged methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) worth almost P300 million.

Undercover police agents launched a buy-bust operation and arrested two Chinese nationals, identified as Cai Chun Yuan alias "Mr. Chua" and Yang Mou Yu alias "Yeng."

By virtue of a search warrant, police inspected the condominium unit of the suspects in Manila's Binondo district.

Two kilograms of shabu were found inside the car of the two suspects. A search inside their condominium unit yielded 14.7 kilograms of shabu.

During the transaction in Manila, a third suspect, identified as Xu Jian Ye, managed to escape after sensing that the supposed buyers were actually undercover policemen.

Xu was eventually captured in their suspected warehouse in Barangay De Ocampo, Trece Martires, Cavite.

At least 20 kilograms of shabu was found inside the trunk of Xu's car.

Police said they will apply for a search warrant to enter the warehouse compound where more illegal drugs are believed to be stashed. - Umagang Kay Ganda, 19 June 2013

Fisherfolk group Pamalakaya on Thursday, June 20, proposed the opening of Napindan Dam to eliminate the presence of predator fish, such as knife fish, in Laguna Lake.

Pamalakaya vice chairperson Salvador France also belittled the plan of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the Laguna Lake Development Authority and other government agencies to contain the spread of knife fish now pestering other inland species in the 90,000- hectare Laguna de Bay.

"The solution to get rid of these invasive species in Laguna Lake is to open  the Napindan Dam to allow the salt waters of Manila Bay to penetrate Laguna Lake. The free flow and entry of Manila Bay saltwater to Laguna Lake will remove the basis of existence for thriving predator species in the lake like knife fish, janitor fish and snake turtle fish," France said.

He added that the government has plans to offer to big contractors the Laguna de Bay for water conversion project.

"The officials in Malacañang, LLDA and BFAR are concealing this very basic truth that Laguna Lake needs the water of Manila Bay to survive," France said.

Pormal ng nagsimula sa Binangonan Regional Trial Court Branch 67 kaninang umaga ng Biyernes, June 21, ang recount ng mga balota kaugnay sa protesta ni mayoral candidate ex-Gen. Virtus Gil.

Manual o isa-isa at mano-manong binibilang ang mga balota mula sa unang dalawang presinto – ang Cluster 1 and 2 – na kumakatawan sa mga boto mula sa Barangay Poblacion Itaas at Barangay Poblacion Ibaba.

May 1, 062 ang authenticated ballots mula sa nasabing dalawang presinto ang binibilang. Pero kaninang bandang 4:30 ng hapon ay nag-adjourn na ang korte para sa hearing nito ngayong araw na 460 balota pa lamang ang narerecount. Itutuloy ang bilangan sa Lunes, June 24.

Batay sa record sa mga balotang nabilang, nakakuha ng 230 votes si incumbent Mayor Gerry Calderon at 220 votes naman si Gil.

Sa mga konsehal, narito ang tally ng mga narecount na balota:

Gil, Aristito: 296
San Pedro Lucio: 278
Reyes, Genato: 251
Tiamson, Januver: 246
Miranda, Ginoclem: 240
Saguinsin, Jo Anne: 208
Lagaya, Sherween: 183
Cruz, Bryan: 179
Deloritos, Elmer: 146
Natividad, Lawrence: 143
Manalaysay, Angelito: 140

Ini-authenticate ang mga balota na bibilangin sa pamamagitan ng ultraviolet rays. Kapag nagkulay asul at nakita ang mga safety code and markings sa balota, ito ay authentic.

Bukod kay General Gil at sa abogado niya, dumating din sa korte ang dalawa sa tatlong nagprotesta na sina dating konsehal Lucio San Pedro at Genato “Boy Nano” Reyes.

Si dating konsehal Aristito ‘Og’ Gil ang pangatlong kandidatong konsehal na nagpoprotesta.

Sa panig naman ng mga ipinoprotesta, si Mayor Gerry Calderon ay inirepresenta nina Atty. Peter Castillo at Rey Tan, na chairman ng koalisyon ni Mayor Gerry.

Hindi binilang ang boto ni vice-mayoral candidate Dra. Lydia Villamayor dahil hindi siya kasali sa mga nagprotesta.

Ang election protest ay dinidinig sa sala ni Judge Dennis Perez.

Balik sa isa-isa at mano-manong pagbilang at pagtara sa mga boto ang mga revisor/watcher ng magkabilang partido.

Bandang 8:50 ng umaga nagsimula ang hearing nang buksan ang dalawang ballot box mula sa nasabing dalawang presinto.

Sinuri ng dalawang komite na may tig-walong (8) revisor/watcher mula sa magkabilang panig ang kondisyon ng mga ballot box, ang minutes of testing and sealing and voting and counting, at mga data mula sa election returns o ER.

Pagkatapos nito ay isa-isang ini-authenticate ang mga balota sa pamamagitan ng ultraviolet rays. Kapag nagkulay asul ang balota, ibig sabihin nito’y original at authentic ang nasabing balota na bibilangin.

Sa Cluster 1 (Barangay Poblacion Itaas) ay may 550 balota na authenticated at 512 naman sa Cluster 2 o Barangay Poblacion Ibaba.

Bandang 1:30PM sinimulan ang mano-manong bilangan matapos ma-authenticate ang mga balota.

KAPITOLYO NG RIZAL, Lungsod ng Antipolo – Bilang bahagi nang patuloy na pagsisikap na labanan ang banta dulot ng kalamidad, nagpirmahan ng memorandum of agreement (MOA) kamakailan ang pamahalaang panlalawigan ng Rizal at Eastern Rizal Miners Association (ERMA) tungkol sa disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) partnership at emergency response.

Ang ERMA ay asosasyon ng mga minahan at katulad na mga kumpanya nito na naka-base sa lalawigan ng Rizal, nais ng mga miyembro nito na tulungan ang pamahalaang panlalawigan.

Gagawin ito sa pamamagitan ng buo, kumprehensibo, sama-sama at aktibong pamamaraan upang mabawasan ang pinsala sa lipunan, ekonomiya at kapaligiran ng mga kalamidad at pagbabago ng klima.

Batay sa kasunduang nilagdaan nina Rizal Gob. Jun Ynares at presidente ng ERMA Angelita Lee, ipagbibigay alam ng pamahalaang panlalawigan sa mga ERMA responders ang lugar kung saan sila kikilos kapag may kalamidad.

Pangungunahan din ng pamahalaang panlalawigan ang pagko-coordinate sa mga sasali at tutulong na grupo upang makakuha ng kaalaman at pangangailangan, at paglalaan ng lugar para sa DRRM capability building programs.

Samantala, ang ERMA naman ay magbibigay ng DRRM awareness sa kanyang mga miyembro, tutulong sa mga stranded commuters at pasahero sa kahabaan ng Marcos Highway (Cainta-Antipolo area) at Ortigas Avenue Extension (Pasig-Cainta area) kapag may kalamidad katulad ng bagyo at baha, at magbibigay ng mga gamit sa rescue operations.

Ang nasabing kasunduan ay pinagtibay din ng Sangguniang Panlalawigan ng Rizal sa Resolusyon Blg. 115, s. 2013.

Ang pamahalaang panlalawigan ng Rizal, sa pamumuno ni Gob. Jun Ynares ay binigyang prayoridad ang paghahanda sa kalamidad upang maabot ang zero-casualty.

Para sa gawaing ito, kinilala na ang provincial DRRM office ng Rizal ng national DRRM council at ng Calabarzon regional DRRM council dahil sa natatanging programa nito sa disaster risk reduction and management. (Rizal Public Information Office)

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim dispatched disaster officials past midnight Sunday, June 23, after an oil spill occurred in Sta Ana, Manila and roused residents due to a foul smell.

To assist affected residents, Lim said the city government has also alerted hospitals for quick response. He advised residents to take necessary precautions, including evacuation, if needed.

“Dahil oil spill 'yan, ang akin lang masasabi ay mag-ingat lang sa pag-iitsa ng mga lighted cigarette. Baka mamaya magkaroon ng sunog sa Ilog Pasig. 'Yan ang ingatan natin,” Lim said in an interview on dzMM past 1 am. (Because that's an oil spill, what I can say is, be careful about throwing lighted cigarettes. These might ignite fire in the Pasig River. That's what we should be cautious about.)

Lim's chief of staff, Ric de Guzman, later said authorities have “definitely” identified the source of the oil spill.

Kakaiba ang mga tatoo na ginagawa ni Ebok dahil paksa ng mga artwork niya ang mito, alamat, kwentong bayan at kasaysayan ng Angono at ng ating bansa. Para kay Ebok, ang katawan ay isang canvass kung kaya ang kanyang likhang sining ay 'mobile' na naieeksibit at naitatanghal. Hindi lang pampersonal kundi pang-public art, kumbaga, ang layon at naaabot ng mga gawa ni Ebok na isa sa pinakamahusay na artist sa Angono na kilala bilang 'Art Capital of the Philippines'.

WE HAVE a dream.

We dream of a Philippines where citizens are educated and healthy; where they have adequate opportunities for decent and secure jobs, livelihood and business; and where their human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution are respected.

We dream of a government that will take good care of our hard-earned tax money and harness it for the public good, rather than squander it on corruption and inefficiency.

We dream of public infrastructure and services that work so that we need not suffer the constant indignity and aggravation of clogged drains and flooded streets, immobilizing road traffic, dilapidated airports, on-off electric service, ill-equipped public hospitals, and inadequate classrooms, chairs and textbooks for our children.

As citizens, we go about our daily grind, difficult as it is, and contribute to our collective dream by paying taxes and by exercising our right to vote every three years.

But there are also those among us who choose to act beyond giving passive trust to our elective and appointive officials in government. Among us are non-government organizations and concerned citizens who advocate for fiscal reforms, good industrial policy, responsible use of natural resources, accountability in public spending, the defense of human rights. Too, there are among our ranks labor unions that fight to improve labor laws and standards; business organizations that aspire for efficient government administration; women’s groups that fight for gender equity; church groups that work with communities for social justice; farmers groups that push for the effective implementation of land reform; migrant rights groups that work to accord dignity and protection to OFWs and their families; journalists who bring public policy issues to our attention; and students and health practitioners who advocate for better health and education policies.

For all of us to become more effective in our work and advocacies, however, we recognize and experience the need for information, records, documents and papers in the hands of government officials and agencies.

Indeed, the people’s right to information is the lifeblood of good and meaningful citizenship, and this can be made fully operational if the Constitutional guarantee is complemented by the passage of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act.

Thus, despite our serial disappointment and failure to pass this measure in the face of the continued resistance among lawmakers and executive officials, our people’s campaign to pass the FOI Act will push on in the 16th Congress.

To demonstrate our people’s unwavering determination to win the passage of the FOI Act, we will be making use of the mechanism of “Indirect Initiative” for the people to propose a national legislation under Republic Act 6735 (The Initiative and Referendum Act).

Under this law, any duly accredited people’s organization may file a petition for indirect initiative with Congress. Section 11 of RA 6735 states: 

Section 11. Indirect Initiative. — Any duly accredited people’s organization, as defined by law, may file a petition for indirect initiative with the House of Representatives, and other legislative bodies. The petition shall contain a summary of the chief purposes and contents of the bill that the organization proposes to be enacted into law by the legislature.

The procedure to be followed on the initiative bill shall be the same as the enactment of any legislative measure before the House of Representatives except that the said initiative bill shall have precedence over the pending legislative measures on the committee. 

We call this the “People’s FOI Bill”. It embodies the broad level of consensus among the various stakeholders in both government and private sector who were consulted in the long legislative history of the proposed FOI law.

In this bill, we have taken into account the spirit and letter of the bicameral conference report of the 14th Congress, the proposed amendments by the Malacañang Study Group to address concerns expressed by President Aquino, and the further refinements introduced in the 15th Congress by the House Committee on Public Information Technical Working Group headed by former Deputy Speaker Lorenzo R. Tañada III, by the Senate Committee on Public Information headed by Senator Gregorio B. Honasan II, and by the Senate plenary (particularly in response to the interpellation by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago) that approved the FOI bill up to its Third Reading.

Most importantly, this bill highlights substance and language that FOI advocates, forming the Right to Know. Right Now! Coalition,  have formed consensus on.

In summary, the People’s FOI Bill:

Clarifies the scope of accessible information by defining clearly the list of allowable exceptions, and removing the wide discretion in withholding or granting access;

Provides a uniform and speedy procedure for people’s access to information, including how requests are made, how requests are responded to, and what remedies are available in case of denial, and closing the loophole that allows administrative avoidance of access;

Enumerates specific acts violative of the right to information that constitute administrative or criminal offenses, to provide as both deterrent and mechanism for accountability for the observance of the right; and,

Introduces mechanisms to facilitate better citizen access to information, such as providing standards for record keeping and mandating the pro-active disclosure of classes of information imbued with high public interest.

We have a dream of many good parts: a nation of informed citizens fully engaged in the practice of our right to know; a government transparent and accountable not just in form or in words, but more so in substance and deeds; a Constitution binding in both theory and practice to all our lawmakers; a progressive and prosperous Philippines marked by both good governance and good citizenship.

Even as we are well aware that many politicians will work to thwart our dream and confine us to passive trust in government, we are determined to win and embrace the passage of the People’s FOI Bill as our collective statement of citizenship.

We know it will not be easy. We therefore invite all people’s organizations and concerned individuals to help us bring this FOI movement to success. We keep faith that sometime soon, our determined political action will enable us to finally win the People’s FOI Act in the 16th Congress.

SAN PEDRO, Laguna – For at least a week, Norvic Solidum, this town’s vice mayor, will sit as the local chief executive.

Solidum was sworn in as new mayor at 4 p.m. on Monday, June 24, by Josefina Castilla-Go, director of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon), after the removal order of Mayor Calixto Cataquiz was served.

Cataquiz was not in his office when the DILG executive posted the order on the office door.

By June 30, however, when the newly elected officials will assume their posts, Solidum will have to turn over the mayoral seat to Lourdes Cataquiz, the wife of the ousted mayor, who substituted for her disqualified husband in the mayoral race and went on to win the race.

In April, Cataquiz was ordered by Malacañang to step down following a Sept. 14, 2011, ruling of the Supreme Court that found him guilty of graft while he was general manager of the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) in 2001.

The high court imposed on him a penalty of disqualification from reemployment in government service based on a complaint filed by the workers’ union Concerned Employees of the LLDA. The election ban on appointments, however, delayed the serving of the removal order, although the same gave way to Cataquiz’s disqualification from running in the midterm polls.

Cataquiz, a member of Nacionalista Party, decided not to appeal his disqualification and instead fielded his wife, Lourdes, as substitute three days before Election Day. Lourdes won, beating Solidum, who also ran for mayor with the Liberal Party.

Solidum, in a phone interview, acknowledged that there was not much he could accomplish in a week’s time as a mayor, but said, “the point is to show the people that Cataquiz was removed because of corruption.”

“This is all about justice and the lesson here is not to steal from government coffers,” he said from the village hall of San Vicente where he took his oath.

Solidum is a former village captain of San Vicente before he became vice mayor.

Some 800 Cataquiz supporters have been camping out at the government building since Sunday night in an attempt to prevent Solidum from entering the building.
