May 20-26 2013

After more than

seven decades of living in

Manilas adjacent City of

San Juan, Estrada cannot

just ig nore the never

ending stories of

unemployment that ledto hunger in his

birthplace, Tondo. Likely

that in 70 years of his

absence, a way of living in

Tondo is getting more

stiffer as elected city

officials spelled promises

in the absence of deeds.

ERAPS... PAGE 1 With a foresight to

draw Manila from the

rage of economic drought

and to sing a swan

song, Estrada returned

to Manila with a chant:

ERAP PARA SA

MAHIRAP.Estradas swan

song is realized as he

defeated incumbent

Mayor Alfredo Lim by

31,000 votes out of the

650,000 votes cast.

Estrada ran in Manila

mayoral race purportedly

to grab the power from

Lim whom he labeled as a

non-performing leader as

he did nothing to seize the

economic crunch that hit

hard the poor Manilenyo,

especially residents of

Tondo.His winning the

political contest is a

fulfillment of his dream,

especially when he

publicly declared that he

would serve only one

term.

Estrada was born in

Manila and he will retire

in Manila.

Im willing to give it

to my vice mayor (Isko

Moreno). He has proven

himself as a councilor and

as a vice mayor. He knows

the ins and outs of the

problems of Manila. He

came from the poor and

he has the heart of the

poor.

After he was

proclaimed by the city

board of canvassers,

Estrada declared:

Ibabalik ko ang sigla ng

Maynila (I will restore the

vitality of Manila).

Estrada won with

343,993 votes over Lim

who got 308,544. Moreno

was proclaimed winner

with 395,156 votes over

Councilor Lou Veloso

who garnered 234,256.

Estradas victory

reflects his strong mass

base and continuing

popularity despite being

ousted during hispresidency in 2001

because of accusations

that he defrauded the

Filipino people.

He was convicted of

plunder in 2007 and

sentenced to life

imprisonment, but he

was later pardoned by

then president and now

Rep. Gloria Macapagal-

Arroyo who succeeded

him in the middle of his

unfinished term.

Estrada ran but lost

in his second attempt to

bag the 2010

presidential election.

Topping the list of

priorities of Estrada is the

citys financial woes. As

per 2012 report by the

Commission on Audit,

the city government has

outstanding debts of

P3.5 billion.

Another priority for

Estrada is peace and

order. Citing his previous

experience as San Juan

from 1969 to 1986,

Estrada said crime

reduction is necessary for

economic growth.

While speaking with

reporters, Estrada

reiterated his early vow

of serving for one term

only before giving way toMoreno come 2016. He

(Moreno) has proven his

worth as vice mayor and

as councilor. Galing siya

sa mahirap at may puso

siya para sa mahihirap

(He has come from the

ranks of the poor and has

a heart for the poor).

In one televised

debate, Estrada mocked

Lim for seeking his

endorsement during his

2007 mayoralty bid. In

recent weeks, the Estrada

camp also revived the

claim that Lim is not a

natural-born Filipino

citizen.

But all is forgiven

now, according to

Estrada. Pinapatawad ko

na siya personally. Hindi

ba sabi sa Lords Prayer (I

have personally forgiven

him. Doesnt the Lords

Prayer say), Forgive our

sins as we forgive those

who sin against us? he

said. I wish him a happy

retirement, he quipped.

But he took a swipe

against the people

behind EDSA II. I have

long been vindicated.

The race between

Estrada and Lim

effectively began in May

of last year when Erap tohis newly-acquired house

in Sta. Mesa, Manila in

order to challenge Lims

hold on the city.

MUSCLES TO PRIVITIZE

PHILPOSTD I N G L O RE S C O

FOR more than a decade,

or since the time of

former president FidelRamos, all the appointed

postmaster generals

dreamt the privatization

of the Philippine Postal

Corporation (Philpost),

but all failed until their

appointments expired.

That dream dies not

with the conclusion of

each appointment. In

fact, incumbent

Postmaster General

Josefina dela Cruz, is

making a successful intro

in building bridges for a

possible privatization of

the countrys postalservice.

Dela Cruz is the first

woman postmaster

general who surpassed

the determination and

bravado of former

postmaster generals who

failed to move an inch to

privatize the public mail

services.

Philpost is now in

partnership with the

worlds leading privateexpress services provider,

the DHL Express.

The partnership is

perceived as first-of-a-

kind collaboration that is

part of Philposts plans to

reinvigorate its

international service

offering by providing

more shipping options to

customers.

In starting the

partnership, DHL Express

services will be offered at

twelve (12) Philpost

locations in Ortigas, Pasig

City; Greenhills, San JuanCity; Cebu City; Baguio

City; Sta. Rosa, Laguna;

Angeles, Pampanga; Iloilo

City; Legaspi City; Davao

City; and central post

offices in Manila, Quezon

City and Makati City.

It is promised by the

partnership that

customers will be able to

enjoy the ease of

shipping internationally

to over 220 countries andterritories by simply

registering their

documents and packages

at the post offices.

The availability of

the 24/7 customer service

hotline and track and

trace capability give

customers the ability to

closely monitor their

shipments from pick up

to delivery.

Dela Cruz proudly

states that the

partnership will see

leverage on the extensive

network and services ofDHL Express to further

boost product offerings

and reach.

Dela Cruz claimed

the partnership will

extend beyond the

maximum weight limit

permissible and outside

the existing serviceable

countries of EMS.

The partnership will

allegedly enable the

Philpost to be moreglobally competitive and

ready to serve the

increasing demands of

customers.

The extension of

services would allow the

Philpost to continue

adding value to

customers through the

provision of prompt and

affordable services.

Yasmin Aladad Khan,

Senior Vice President

DHL Express Southeast

Asia, said that

international trade is a

key driver of economicgrowth.

He said that he is

seeing efforts by both the

public and private sectors

working hand-in-hand to

revitalize the logistics

industry in the country.

The partnership is a

showcase of Philposts

commitment towards

elevating its service

offering to its customers.

Khan proudlyclaimed that the

companys experience in

working with some of

Southeast Asias national

postal offices in

Singapore, Malaysia and

Vietnam will allow its

local team to share best

practices with Philpost.

We are excited

about this partnership

because it is borne out of

both parties mutual

desire to provide Filipinos

with fast and reliable

ways to send heavier

parcels and packages tomore countries abroad,

Nurhayati Abdullah,

Country Manager, DHL

Express Philippines said.

The collaboration is

claimed as a perfect

combination of the

unrivaled global network

and expertise in

international express

industry of DHL Express,

with PHLPosts local

postal services and itsextensive reach in the

country.

Her further claimed

that local small and

medium enterprises will

be able to tap on the

wealth of knowledge that

DHL and PHLPost possess

to expand their business

overseas more efficiently.

The DHL Express

service offering will cover

shipments weighing 0.5

kilograms and above that

are to be sent to

countries currently not

covered by PhilpostsExpress Mail Service.

It will also cover

shipments sent to

countries where EMS is

offered, but which exceed

the maximum weight

that can be accepted.

DHL services will be

rolled out in more Philpost

locations in 2014.

A young mother of two

kids is suffering from an

open heart valve and

rheumatic heart.

Shes just a plain

housewife in Iloilo while

her husband earns a

living as a company driver

whose monthly pay is

almost cut-by-half for her

medicines.

By their prayers, the

lowly family survives the

gigantic waves of life. And

by their prayers, the

sufferings of the young

mother was whispered to

the hearings of a

Canadian national who is

likely sent by an angel.

On February 18,

2013, the Canadian

national sent a parcel

containing medicines to

Ma. Eleanor Sombero

Galeno for the

consumption of the

young mother. It was sent

from the United States

through DHL.

Inhuman Bureau of CustomsCARLA

MAYO

Three days after, or

on February 21, 2013, a

DHL personnel informed

Ms. Galeno that the

package has arrived and

that the customs duties

to be paid was more than

Php7,000.

Knowing that the

package contains

medicines for the ailing

young mother, Ms.

Galeno immediately

agreed to pay the duties.

She was told that the

package will be shipped to

Iloilo in three to four days.

The waiting for the

delivery of the package is

very irksome from day 1,

or on February 24, 2013,

until today, but no

package was delivered to

ease if not cure the

physical illness of the

young mother.

More deadening is

the latest information

that the package is still

for clearance with the

Bureau of Customs

examiner.

For consideration ofthe bosses of the Bureau

of Customs, an unedited

open letter posted on

facebook by Ms. Galeno

reads:

A parcel was sent to

me from the U. S. on

February 18, 2013 thru

DHL.

On February 21, a

DHL personnel informed

me that the package

arrived and that the

customs duties

amounted to more than

P7,000.

I agreed to pay the

duties and that the

package will be shipped

to Iloilo in three to four

days.

It has been almost

three months and that

package is still for

clearance with the

Bureau of Customs

examiner.

I had been following

it up with the DHL

clearance department

ever since.

The package wasintended for the use of a

young and sick mother

who was diagnosed to

have an open heart valve

and rheumatic heart.

Her husband is an

ordinary company driver.

She has a two

children, a three year old

and a four month old

baby.

The package was

sent by the employer of

her husbands sister in

Canada because her

employer was touched by

the plight of the young

mother.

The package was

declared as food

supplements and beauty

products.

Initially, customs

required an FDA

requirement of License to

Operate.

I told DHL that the

contents of the package

are not for sale but

intended for the use of a

sick lady.

I even executed an

affidavit stating that the

food supplements were

for the use of the young

mother who is sick.

As of last week, DHL

relayed to me that the

initial amount of duties

was almost P18,000.

After the examiner

had my affidavit, I hoped

it will be reduced.

I had been

expecting the amount of

duties but up to now it is

still under review with

the examiner of the

Bureau of Customs.

When will they act

on this matter?

It will almost three

months.

BY HERNANICUARE

What is CLAA?CLAA is a familiar

acronym for all

prospective parents.

It stands for Cer-

tificate declaring a

Child Legally

Available for

Adoption. It is a

certification process

that establishes a

status of a child as

legally available for

adoption, and issued

thru its Regional

Offices by Depart-

ment of Social

Welfare and Deve-

lopment sign by no

less than the

Secretary. Issuance

of a CLAA is a prelude

for filing a petition

for adoption of those

a b a n d o n e d ,

surrendered andneglected child.

Under the new

law which is RA 9523,

CLAA is prerequisite

for initiation of

a d o p t i o n

proceedings. This

certification is a

requirement that

adopters must

complied with to

commence an

adoption case. It

mandates that

Secretary of DSWD to

process and issued

CLAA to prospective

parents.

With the pro-

mulgation of RA

9523, it virtually

amends some of the

salient features

under RA 8552 or

otherwise known as

Domestic Adoption

Law of 1998 which

imposes a judicial

process for decla-

ration of a child

legally available for

adoption in all cases.

Thus, prior to the

effectivity of RA 9523it is mandatory to

secure first a judicial

fiat for declaration of

child legally available

for adoption before a

proper judicial

proceeding for

adoption may be

had. This makes the

entire proceeding of

CLAA completely an

administrative in

nature as it falls

within the

jurisd iction of the

DSWD and it needsthe imprimatur of

the Secretary of

DSWD.

In a way RA 9523

is a corrective

measure that

addresses and

corrects the in-

adequacies of

previous laws on

adoption such RA

8043 or the Inter-

Country Adoption

Law, and RA 8552 or

otherwise known as

Adoption Act 1995.

First, the intention of

the law is to provide

the most expeditious

way for adoption

cases to proceed so to

encourage would be

parents to adopt

legally and not to

resort non-formal

adoption; Second, to

shield away the childfrom stress and

psychological effects

that might be

associated with the

processes of adoption.

The recent law

provides an

a d m i n i s t r a t i v e

procedure for the

child to be legally

available for

adoption by filing a

petition in a form of

an affidavit,

subscribed and

sworn to before anyperson authorized by

law to administer

oaths. Lawyers are

not necessary

needed to file this

petition before

regional office of the

DSWD where the

child was found

a b a n d o n e d ,

neglected or

surrendered.

Another flexible

feature of CLAA law is

that the said petition

may be filed by the

following persons:

1. Any head or

executive director of a

license or accredited

child-caring or child-

placing agency or

institution managed

by the government,

local government unit,

non-governmental

organization;2. A ny Soci al

Welfare Develop-

ment Officer (SWDO)

who has actual

custody of the minor;

3. T he ag ency

or institution with

the consent of the

child custodian;

The aforesaid

recent law on

adoption does not

only provide greater

latitude as to people

or person who may

actually file Petitionfor CLAA but requires

only a considerable

number of

documents for

support the petition

such as:

1. Socia l Case

Study Report;

2. P roof that

effort was exerted to

locate the parent or

any relatives of the

child;

3. W r i t t e n

Certification from

local or national

radio or television

station that the case

was aired on three

different occasions;

4. Publication in

one (1) newspaper of

general circulation;

5. Police Report

or Barangay Certi-

fication that the child

was found, neg-lected;

6. R e t u r n e d

Registered Mail of

the last known

address of the

parents of the child;

7. B i r t h

Certificate of the

child; and

8. Photograph

of the child at

present and at the

time he/she was

a b a n d o n e d ,

neglected.

Furthermore, inkeeping with goal

of expediting the

process of adoption

and making it less

expensive, the time

or total duration

involved on the

Petition for CLAA

was considerably

reduced. We still

recall the

dispensation when

the Court had to

issue two (2)

decrease, the order

declaring the child

legaly available for

adoption and the

final degree of

adoption.

Thus, it shall

only take a little less

than two (2)

months for the

whole petition to

be completed.

After this, theDSWD shall issue

C e r t i f i c a t e

declaring the Child

Legally Ready for

Adoption. Then,

prospective parents

shall now proceed

for the Adoption

Case Proper.

CUSTOMS BOSS SPOKE OF ESTRADAFORMER Scout

R a n g e r

C o m m a n d i n g

General and now

C u s t o m s

Inteliigence boss

Danilo Lim is not a

yes, sir military

man, but when he

perceived that the

order of his superior

is for the good of the

country, he will

definitely followdespite danger on

his way.

Lim is no

follower of former

president and now

Mayor-elect Joseph

Erap Estrada of

Manila, but he

cannot hide his

admiration to the

guts of the former

actor during his

heydays in

Malacaang.

Sometime in

January 2011, or

more than two years

ago, I was with

friends, Atty. Betreni

Toto Causing,

Lane Afable and Jun

Valdecantos, when I

met Lim at his

friends house in

Ayala, Alabang,

Muntinlupa.(Valdecantos is

still recovering at a

hospital in Imus,

after he was

ambushed by

gunmen riding-in-

tandem in Bacoor,

Cavite, on March 5,

2013.)

I happened to

talk to Lim over cans

of beer.

In that short

conversation, he

talked of coup d

etats and wars in

Mindanao. And he

forgot not to speak

of the unwavering

decision of Estradawho ordered the

bombardment of

the strongholds of

Muslim rebels.

Lim shared that

after Estrada

ordered to besieged

Camp Abubakar,

Muslim combatants

were sent to

nowhere like rats,

hiding from their

hunters in tanks and

in full-battle gears.

It should have

been the end for the

Moro Islamic

Liberation Front

(MILF), but the tide

was reversedfollowing the power

grab by then vice

president and now

Rep. GMA.

Among the

presidents of the

republic, it was only

Estrada who had

ordered heavy

bombardment of

Muslim strongholds

until Camp

Abubakar fell under

the control of

government forces.

Camp Abubakar

is a 32,000-hectare

land inhabited by

MILF armed men.

That war was

won, and Estrada,

with government

soldiers, killed and

roasted pigs.

The feast for

victory wascelebrated in Camp

Abubakar.

The Muslims

condemned Estrada

and the solciers for

allegedly eating

lechon baboy

inside the mosque,

an act desecrating

their holy place,

their house of

worship.

However, Lim

belied such

insinuations saying

that Estrada with

government troops

were in the open field

of Camp Abubakar.

As claimed by

Lim, the war was won

twice in Mindanao,

during the heydays of

the late dictator, ex-

president Ferdinand

Marcos, and theousted president,

Joseph Estrada, but

twice, the war was

unfolded by power

grabbers.

In those two wars

Gen. Lim shed blood

twice in Mindanao.

And the marks of two

bullets can never be

removed from his

skin.

OMAY RENTA

IN JUST A SNAP AND ACLICK OF SHOT andthe summer will remain to

warmth the temperature

of the jargon weather as

Dyaryo Magdalo presentsthe pride of Quezon City

and the apple of the eye of

all car lovers.From modeling to

photography, this is

what Abegail Rutaquio

Galapon has driven her

life to the journey of her

dreams.

A 20-year old

professional model,

stylist-makeup artist,

and a newbie

phorographer, Apol as

her friends called her

was born on October

20, 1992 in Manila.

She is presently

residing a block away

from the hangout of the

famous Rock N Roll

Artist Jose Pepe Smith in

Quezon City, and a

current 3rd Year-

irregular student of

Colegio De San Lorenzo

taking up Bachelor of

Science in Hotel and

R e s t a u r a n t

Management.

Apol started in

modeling way back

sometime in 2010 until

she stopped because of

studies.

She continued

modeling in December

24, 2012 where she was

mostly seen in auto

shows and car show

events that last event she

had perform was in Aprilof 2013 at the Manila

International Auto Show

MIAS 2013.

According to her, the

photographs that she had

shared and posted were

the triggering point why

she is now, and up to now

is engaging in some of the

events such as fashion

shows.

Apol has reached

one of her goal through

the help of some people

that noticed her

photographs that seen at

net, and one of those is

her fortunate chance and

opportunity to qualify in

the TPC Funtas-Tech

Exhibit held last March 1,

2013

Abegail Galapons

last appearance as model

was held at the World

Trade Center and at the

Sole Slam Manila

Automax Cars show for

both car enthusiasms.

Being a flexible

person, her ability to take

an opportunity at one at

the same time is not

difficult for her.

She did not stick in

one profession as she can

make two endows in one

event.

A hair and make-up

artist while not in school

and during photo

activities she can handle

client for photo picture

even though she is only anewbie unlike her

colleague professional

photographer.

Apol is an

environmental lover. She

is instead of buying new

dress for modeling has to

recycle whatever she

could find that make her

fashion still on peak of

success.

Dancing and moving

in finest is easy for Apol

because aside for being a

model she is also a

professional gymnast.

She is also a

freelance photography

object of the Cinco

Cincuent Camera Club

where fun shoots every

Sundays and other photo

activities are being taken

for a shot just to promote

the beauty of the

Philippines.

As time goes by, Apol

is getting in-love in

photography.

To date, she is a

under learning of lots of

technique and style in

photography such as

editing using high-tech

definition that make

client be proud of the

picture.

B e s i d e s

Galapon loves to edit

Association of Southeast

Asean Nations

supporting local

manufacturing in all

ASEAN countries.

The AFTA agreement

was signed on January28, 1992 in Singapore.

When it was

originally signed, ASEAN

had six members,

namely, Brunei,

Indonesia, Malaysia,

Philippines, Singapore

and Thailand. In 1995,

Vietnam joined AFTA,

and Laos and Myanmar in

1997 and Cambodia in

1999.

The primary goals of

AFTA seek to Increase

ASEANs competitive

edge as a productionbase in the world market

through the elimination,

within ASEAN, of tariffs

and non-tariff barriers,

and to attract more

foreign direct investment

to ASEAN.

It was also claimed

that the primary

mechanism for achieving

such goals is the Common

Effective Preferential

Tariff scheme (CEPT),

which established a

phased schedule in 1992with the goal to increase

the regions competitive

advantage as a

production base geared

for the world market.

The CEPT only applies

to goods originating

within ASEAN.

The implementation

of AFTA could possibly

stop smuggling because a

free-trade area is a trade

bloc whose member

countries have signed a

free-trade agreement

(FTA), which eliminatestariffs, import quotas, and

preferences on most (if

not all) goods.

Now, there can never

be smuggling if

importations are free

from tariffs and import

quotas, and smugglers

are to abandone their

illicit operations as

money is no longer a

consideration for the

release of imported

goods.

Because there is notrade tariffs or import

quotas, there will be no

delays as goods pass from

one part of the country to

another, and there are

usually no differences of

taxation and regulation.

However, the after

more than 20 years the

Philippines signed the

AFTA, economic think

tank Josef Yap insisted

that the country is not yet

ready to join the ASEAN

Economic Community

(AEC) by 2015.This is so because

Yap believes that the

Philippines lacks an

industrialization policy

which may prevent the

country from sharing the

gains of globalization.

NO CHASE FOR SLEEPING COPS

NURSING is a profession

within the health care

sector. A Nurse,

according to its

definition, is a person

educated and trained to

care for the sick or

disabled. Most of them

are woman and some of

them have the schedule

of going home from

respective duties at night

and midmorning time.

The risk of going

home by the nurses at

the midst of the night is

not differ to call center

workers, working-

students in closer

schedules, and night shift

employees, whose most

of the time were traveling

home nothing but

prayers to be at home

safely from evils that

widespread all over the

metropolis.

Those workers were

not alone in terms of

performing duties andresponsibilities at night.

They have company

at night, and they are no

other than the honorable

and respected members

of the Philippine National

Police forces whose

motto is TO SERVE AND

PROTECT.

They are oftentimes

denominated as

SERBISYONG MAY KUSA

who fulfills duty,

mandate of the

constitution, and has an

immediate response in

times of danger withoutbeing waited from

anything.

But what really is

actually happening at the

time that majorities of

people were at intense of

sleeping.?

Are the men in

uniform are fulfilling their

motto?

Are those passengers

at night are protected? Or

Was there aprotection that needs to

be protected?

Nagtatanong lang po

Station Commander ng

Novaliches Station 4,

Quezon City.

It was reported that

crime rates within the

Metropolis are getting

lower than previous.

But how do we count

the incident of a robbery

holdup to the six

passengers that

transpired sometime last

week along Quirino

Highway, between Sauyoand Seminary Roads,

Novaliches, Quezon City

District 2?

The emptiness and

trust to the Motto and

denomination to the

policemen started after

members of Station 4

Quezon Police District

have give no action to a

crime and that should

one of them was not

sleeping at the steeringwheel of the mobile

patrol car the cohorts of

holdapers are all been

arrested.

This is a story of a

nurse who is currently

working in one of the

government hospital in

Manila.

Gena, not her real

name, recounted that on

May 14, 2013 at about

11:00 in the evening

while she and other five

passengers were aboard

passenger of a public

utility jeepney bound for

Novaliches Bayan, three

unidentified young

looking men were rode

the same PUJ.

According to her,

upon approaching

Seminary Road, those

three guys declared a

holdup and that due to

fear of death, she freely

gave her bag which

contained of her

pertinent and personalidentification cards and

documents, including her

ATM card, cash, and Sony

Xperia worth P15,000.00.

The incident was

held to just a nightmare

to her and to other five

passengers.

But more severe was

the fact that even they

had reached a mobile car

parked along the same

OMAY RENTA

OFWS MASS EVACUATION

FILIPINOS in Taiwan

should be repatriated

back to the Philippines

instead of telling them to

just stay cautio us and

extra careful, not to go

out drinking in

restaurants or places of

entertainment, and avoid

exposing self to danger

because no one can tell

how these people

(Taiwanese) will react.

After the report that

an Overseas Filipino

Worker (OFW) walking in

the street of Kaohsiung

City, Taiwan was

confirmed to have been

attacked with a baseball

bat, there is no logical

reason for Malacaang to

claim that it was an

isolated case.

The claim of

Malacaang might only

mislead other Filipinos

who have limited access

to information on the

said criminal act against

an OFW.

The attack was not

an isolated case as it

happened after the

sanctions by Taiwan

against Philippines was

openly declared

worldwide.

The confirmation

that the situation in

Taiwan now is very tense;

Taiwan on

Wednesday recalled its

envoy to the Philippines,

froze applications for

work permits and

ordered military exercises

in waters between the

two sides to press its

demand for an apology

for the shooting death of

a Taiwanese fisherman.

Taiwan earlier had

issued an ultimatum to

Taiwan government

said the Philippine

government is insufficient,

sincerity, and President Ma

Ying-jeou expressed strong

dissatisfaction and he

cannot accept the reckless

and perfunctory responses

from the Philippines.

After a high-level

meeting, it added, Taiwan

decided to immediately

impose sanctions, including

the recall of its envoy and a

freeze on work permit

applications.

There are more than

85,000 Filipinos working in

Taiwan, many are domestic

workers.

Separately, a Taiwan

Defence Ministry official saidmilitary vessels and aircraft

would be dispatched to the

Bashi Channel, which divides

Taiwan and the Philippines,

to carry out a two-day

military drill.

A Philippine fisheries

official said one of its vessels,

acting under the threat of

being rammed, opened fire

last Thursday on a Taiwanese

fishing boat about 170

nautical miles southeast of

Taiwan, killing one person on

board.

The Philippines has

expressed sympathy over

what it called an

unfortunate incident

and promised to conduct

an investigation, but has

stopped short of an

official apology.

that Taiwanese are so

emotional about theshooting incident; that

tempers are running very

high, belied the

pronouncement by

Malacaang that hurting

a Filipino by a Taiwanese

is an isolated case.

the Philippines to

apologize to the familyof the Taiwanese

fisherman who died in a

shooting last week by

the Philippine Coast

Guard in waters off the

LAST May 13, 2013, the

constituency of the

Municipality of Kalayaan

gave a fresh and new

mandate to Eugenio Bito-

onon, Jr. to lead them in

the next three years.

Mayor-elect Jun Bito-

ononran runs under the

flagship of the Liberal

Party.

What endeared him

to the voting public of

Kalayaan was his

sincerity to help these

people alleviate their

plight against poverty to

a more manageable

level.

Kalayaan Island is

part of the Spratly group

of islands in the hotly

disputed area West of

Puerto Princesa City,

Palawan. It was created

in 1978 through a

Presidential Decree 1596

administration of the

Armed Forces of the

by former President

Ferdinand Marcos.

Filipino settlers in

Kalayaan Island are as

same as old as the

Philippines has begun to

administer the islands.

The smallest town

and a Fifth class

municipality of Kalayaan

Island is an

administrative unit that

has a population 288 and

registered voters of 100.

Mayor Bito-onoran

still maintains the

integrity over the 95

islands.

His jurisdiction

including the one

residential village even

there is no government

office but a liaison office

in Puerto Princesa City.

In the next several

years, Kalayaan is

projected to be the next

eco-tourism dive spot

because of its unique,

prestine and diversified

coral reefs, which entices

nature lovers

everywhere in the

country as well as

foreigners alike.

With the energetic

Mayor Bito-onon around,

the people of Kalayaan

would surely be in the

best situation, to

transform the place into

a world class eco-tourism

destination.

Name sent man to jailRUFO AMPAT

THE story of Lee Jong

Woo, 69, is a story that

would shake many to

their veins.

It is because his

name that was written

on a mail that contains

a prohibited substance

sent him to prison, to

condemnation.

Lee Jong Woo is a

South Korean national

living a peaceful life in

Angeles City,Pampanga.

On December 12,

2012, a folder in the

name of Lee Jong Woo

was sent via Federal

Express air mail from

Angeles City to Seoul,

South Korea.

U nfo rtunate l y ,

that folder was seized

by Customsauthorities at the

Incheon International

Airport in Seoul, South

Korea as it was

discovered to contain

illegal drugs, 1.3

grams of shabu.

Because the

name of Lee Jong Woo

was printed on the

face of the folder, it

was concluded that he

intended to transport

the prohibited

substance.With that

conclusion, Lee was

charged in absentia

with drug smuggling.

Lee has no

knowledge of the

charges leveled

against him until his

arrest by agents of the

Bureau of

immigration on May 2,2013.

On that fateful day,

while Lee was taking a

rest, Immigration

agents in civilian

clothes entered into his

rented apartment at

New York Villas in

Angeles City,

Pampanga.

The agents asked

him whether he is Lee

Jong Woo. Upon his

confirmation, a

warrant issued byI m m i g r a t i o n

Commissioner Ricardo

David, Jr. was shown to

him.

At that instance, he

was told that he has a

pending case of drug

smuggling in Seoul,

South Korea. This

information caught

him by surprise as he

knew not of any case,

especially drugsmuggling, filed

against him.

At first, Lee

resisted knowing

pretty well his rights

against false

accusations. But his

strength was not

enough to subdue

the concerted efforts

of the operatives of

the bureaus fugitive

search unit (FSU)

Lee is now

detained at the BI jailin Bicutan, Taguig

City, where he is

waiting deportation.

As clearly

explained by BI

intelligence chief

Atty. Ma. Antonette

Mangrobang, the

operation against Lee

was launched after a

warrant was signed by

David pursuant to a

summary deportationorder issued against

the Korean last April

11, 2013 by the

Bureau of

Immigration board of

commissioners.

The deportation

of Lee was sought by

the South Korean

Embassy in Manila

which informed the BI

that the fugitive is

wanted by

prosecutors in Seoul

for drug smuggling.The case

stemmed from

alleged Lees attempt

to bring into Korea via

Federal Express air

mail some 1.3 grams

of methamphetamine

hydrochloride or

shabu on Dec. 12 last

year.

Lee had been

overstaying since he

arrived on June 1, 2007and there is no record

he ever extended his

stay.

During the

operation, the Bureau

of Immigration agents

also arrested another

Korean national who

had been overstaying

since 2011.

Lim Joung Sup will

also be deported for

violating the conditions

of his stay as a tourist.

Lee and Lim wereplaced in the

immigration blacklist

of undesirable aliens

and banned from re-

entering the country.

The Sokor will

provide for the plane

tickets of Lee and Lim

because the country

has no fund for them.

BARANGAY Ginebra,

the all-time favoriteteam in the PBA

(Philippine Basketball

Association) is now

flexing muscles

against the Alaska

Milkmen to repeat

basketball history way

back 1997, or sixteen

(16) years ago.

In the 1997

C o m m i s s i o n e r s

Conference, the Ginebra

(Gordons Gin Boars)

went up against the

formidable Alaska

Milkmen, just like today.Robert Jaworski was

then the playing coach

for the Gin, while Tim

Cone struggled hard to

win the first final berth

for the Milk.

The Milk seek to

sustain their dominant

run in the conference as

it leads 2-0 versus the Gin

in the PBA Commis-

sioners Cup best-of-five

finals showdown.

However, Alaska

coach Luigi Trillo is

expecting a toughcomeback from the Gin

as it definitely learned

lessons from severe

beating, 70-87, in the

series opener Wednesday

at the Smart Araneta

Coliseum.

Despite their two

losses to Alaska, the Ginsremain the never-

say-die crew of the

Ginebras coach

Alfrancis Chua admittedthat the defense of the

Milk was so solid.

Hopkins who was given

the pink slip at the end ofthe elimination round in

1997.

game, relying on speedy

Bal David and sniper PidoJarencio to quarterback

the team.

Jaworski also

assigned sophomore

center Marlou Aquino to

cover Holland in the post

one-on-one.

In the first game,

Aquino even outscored

Holland, 24-21, while the

Gin had a triple-double to

lead to a surprise 99-89

victory.

Game Two turned

out to be a pivotal game.

With his confidence

oozing, King went for aslam at the end of the

third quarter, but

suffered a hamstring

injury in the play.

With Alaska ahead

95-93, Jaworski sent King

back into the game, and

the import responded by

nailing a dagger three-

pointer that inspired the

Gin to a 102-96 victory.

Jaworski and co.

surged to a 2-0 lead, but

a dark cloud hung over

Ginebra fans because of

the injury to King.With the hampered

King playing just 15

minutes, Jarencio and

reserve Terry Saldaa

went to work.

Jarencio sizzled with

seven three-pointers for

league, having survived

tight situations in the

elims, in the quarters and

in the semis.

We need to play to

our identity. They have

their own identity. Theylove run-and-gun and

they draw energy from

the crowd when they play

that. We have to take

away their strengths,

Alaska Milk coach Trillo

said.

Theyre (the Milk) very

organized. Theyre

patient. By next game,

the guys hopefully should

already know how to

handle them. Weve seen

them.In 1997, the

Milkmen were reinforced

by former Pepsi import

Kevin Holland, while the

Gin brought in Chris King

as late replacement for

the high-flying Tyrone

Jaworski felt that he

needed a more complete

player to reinforce the

team, so while Hopkins

was no slouch, Jaworski

pulled the trigger on the

import change.Their marathon duel

with the Beermen just

three days before the

start of the finals had Gin

fans worried.

Jaworski had kept

himself on the bench all

23 points, while Saldaa

did a solid 26-minuterelief job, scoring 10

points and hauling down

12 rebounds while

outrebounding the entire

Alaska team in the third

quarter.

With 1:20 remaining

and Alaska ahead, 86-84,

Jarencio sank his seventh

trey to put Gordons ahead,

87-86, the same score when

the buzzer sounded.

Jarencios seven treys was

one short of the PBA record

owned by Jaworski, which

he established way back in

1980.Alaska battled back to

win the next two games,

108-90 and 86-81,

primarily through the

heroics of Jojo Lastimosa.

With pressure

mounting, Jaworski

summoned his players to

give everything on Game

Six.

Four locals

backstopped King with

twin digits.

After taking a 46-44

lead at the half, the Gin

turned the game into arout, exploded for 33

points while limiting Alaska

to just five.

The Gin took a 79-49

lead going into the fourth

quarter, and wound up

with the 105-79 victory.
