Duterte kicks-of campaign in Tondo, promisesto eradicate crime and poverty

OUGH-talking Davao CityMayor and PDP-Laban presi-dential bet Rodrigo Dutertevowed to eradicate criminal-ity in just six months if electedpresident in this year MayPresidential election.

Duterte made the declara-tion as he and his runningmate, Senator Alan Peter Cay-etano, formally launched theirpresidential and vice presi-dential bid last uesday at theheart of ondo Manila.

Te proclamation was heldat the corner of Morga andZamora Streets, a known lairof neighborhood toughie andleaders of notorious gangs,

where a large stage was put upfor the proclamation rally.

People of ondo dream ofsomething new. I promised

you something. But if you re-ally know me, I will deliver.I will do it even if i lose mylife, honor and even the presi-dency. I will deliver on mypromises. Duterte declared in

facing about 3,000 residents ofMorga and Zamora streets.

Aside from combating crime,particularly illegal drugs, Du-terte also promised to addressthe corruption issues undertheir campaign slogan unayna Pagbabago.

He added that his adminis-tration will also focus on theempowerment of the poor peo-ple, rescuing them from theclutches of poverty.

And as if bribing the elector-ate, Duterte declared that he

will not only sustain but wouldincrease the cash grants for thepoor as well as double the sala-ries of soldiers and policemen.He however warned them notto engage in illegal activities.

Duterte also took potshot onPresident Aquinos administra-

tion saying that there is no suchthing as uwid na Daan.Te proclamation started at

7 p.m with Duterte arrivingwith his partner Cielito Avan-cena and daugther Veronica.

But some of Dutertes pro-nouncement does not sit well

with the some of the crowdparticularly when he declaredthat he would implement theeconomic measures similarto what was done by the latestrongman Ferdinand Marcos.

He went further by claim-ing that Marcos was the bestpresident the Philippines hasever had, if not only for beinga dictator.

A group of ondo elders,who apparently knew what itis like during Marcos martiallaw was obviously turnoff with

what they heard from Duterte.Aside from neighborhood

toughie and gangs, ondo wasalso known as hotbed of mili-tant groups during martial law.

Te group in rebuking Du-

terte blurted Eh Marcos loyal-ist pala itong sirang ulong ito.Tey also expressed disgust

when they learned that Dutertewas closely associated with Pas-

Aquino makakasuhan

pagkatapos ng terminoPaul De Guzman

MANILA Nakaambang makasuhan si Pangu-long Benigno Simeon Aquino III pagkatapos ngkanyang termino, ito ang pahayang ni MinorityFloor Leader Juan Ponce Enrile nitong nakalipas

na Lunes sa apatan sa Aristocrat media forumna ginanap sa pamosong Aristocrat Restaurantsa Roxas Boulevard.

Ayon kay Enrile hindi diumano makatatakassi Pangulong Aquino na makasuhan dahil sapagiging sentro nito sa nangyaring Oplan Exo-dus kung saan apatnaput-apat sa Special ActionForce (SAF) and napatay nung linggo ng Enero25 taong 2015 sa ukanalipao, Mamasapano,Maguindanao.

Te president is the central figure in all ofthis, he cannot escape it, Ani Enrile.

Isiniwalat din ni Enrile kung bakit sa pag-tatapos ng termino lamang maaring managot siPangulong Aquino kahit pa may batayan upangma-impeach ang pangulo. Sabi ni Enrile, Its anopenly articulated ground for impeachment hesthe chief executive but you cannot impeach himbecause he controls the House of Representa-tives, he controls a lot of people in the senate.

Pagdidiin ni Enrile, haharapin ni PangulongAquino ang nararapat na hustisya sakaling mag-tapos na ang pamumuno nito bilang pangulo ngbansa at maging isang ordinaryong mamama-

yan na lamang.When he is no longer impeachable and be-come an ordinary citizen of the Republic whentheres a next president. Ten he will have to facethe music, face the people through the mecha-nism of exacting justice.

Isiniwalat naman ni Enrile ang partisipasyonng mga Amerikano na una nang pinasinugalin-gan ng US Embassy upang mahuli o mapatayang target na si Zulkifli Abdhir o kilala bilang

Marwan. Ani Enrile, may mga Amerikano diu-mano sa Zamboanga ng araw na iyon na kasa-ma ng pangulo maging sa headquarters ni SAFChief Getulio Napeas. Ayon kay Enrile, Tey[Americans] were in Zamboanga some of them

with the president. Tey were in the headquar-ters of Napeas, some of whom they trained the84th Seabourne.

Muli namang pinapurihan ni Enrile angSAF44 bilang mga bayaning nagtagumpay sakanilang misyon at isinahalintulad maging angpangulo ng Amerika sa pagmamalasakit nito sa

mga tauhan.Ani Enrile, Tey did the mission and ac-complished it. In fairness to the SAF units, theydid very well they accomplished the missionnot nobody, not the army, not anybody else ac-complished the mission they did. Te problemhappened during the withdrawal. Tey wereon the withdrawal place but the problem [mas-sacre] happened. Now, if we have much criti-cized Obama as president like what he did in AlQaeda, in the case of Osama Bin Laden the firstorder he said, Do everything necessary to bring

home the men.Sa pagtatapos ng pagdinig muling nadiin angpangulo na siyang may pananagutan bilangChief Executive at siya diumanong direktangnagmaniubra upang matupad ang naturangoperasyon.

Tanggal buwis sa mgamaggagawa iniumang

MANDALUYONG Sapagsisimula ng kampanya sapagkapangulo, ipinangako nibise-presidente at kandidatosa pangkapangulo Jejomar Bi-nay ang pag-aalis sa buwis ngmga mangagawang kumikitalamang ng mula tatlumpunglibong piso pababa.

Sa kanyang talumpati na gi-nanap sa Mandaluyong Cityna dinaluhan ng humigit ku-mulang tatlong libo katao ni-tong Martes, sinabi ng bise-presidente na kabilang angpag-aalis ng buwis sa kanyangadhikain upang matupad angpaghahangad ng makabulu-hang pagbabago na inaasamng mga Pilipino.

Mga kababayan, mga ka-

pwa Pilipino, sa gabing ito sapiling ninyong lahat, sa pil-ing ng mga masang Pilipino.Nakikita ko, naririnig ko, atramdam na ramdam ko angpagkauhaw at paghahangadninyo ng makabuluhangpagbabago. Aalisin ko bilangpangulo ng bansa, kayo pongnagseswelduhan aalisin ko angincome tax ng mga kababayannatin na kumikita ng tatlum-

pong libo at pababa, ani Bi-

nay.Sinabi ng pangalawang

pangulo hingil sa paratang naimposible itong mangyari sakadahilanang ikalulugi ito ngpamahalaan, kanyang pinuna

ang pagkawala ng bilyong-bilyong piso mula sa perang bayan gaya na lamang ngsmuggling, di pagbabayad at

wastong pangongolekta ng bu-

wis, at maluhong paggastos ngmga departamento ng pama-halaan.

Paglalahad ni Binay, Samga nagsasabing hindi itopwedeng mangyari, dahilmalulugi ang pamahalaan,simple lamang po ang sagot kosa inyo. Bilyon-bilyong pisoang nawawala sa pera ng bayansa smuggling. Bilyon-bilyongpiso ang nawawala dahil sahindi wastong pangongolektang buwis. Sa mga taong dapatmagbayad ng tamang buwisbilyon-bilyon ang nasasayangna pera dahil sa hindi wastongpag gastos ng mga departa-mento ng pamahalaan. Iyanang dapat asikasuhin at hindiang pagpapatuloy at pag-

papahirap sa mga swelduhangmangagagawang Pilipino.Binatikos naman ng pangu-

nahing kandidato ng UnitedNationalist Alliance o UNAsi Pangulong Benigno Simeon

Aquino III sa pananahimik,paninisi at pagkalito nito sapanahon ng krisis gaya na la-mang ng nangyari sa Mamasa-pano at Yolanda pati na angkawalan nito ng tamang pa-

mumuno.

Ani Binay, Kailangan natinng isang pangulo na hindiumiiwas, hindi nananahimik,hindi nagtatago katulad nungmangyari ang Mamasapano.Hindi naninisi at hindi nalil-

ito sa panahon ng krisis. Uu-litin ko ang kailangan natin ayisang pangulo na tunay na ku-makalinga sa mahihirap. Angganyang uri ng pagkapangulo

EditoryalMamasapano massacre mababaon sa limot?Sa nakaraang muling pagbubukas ng ti-naguriang Mamasapano Massacre kungsaan apatnaput-apat sa ating mag baya-ning SAF nananatili ang katanungangmabibigayan na nga ba ng hustisya ang

mga namatay na SAF44 o mistulang ma-babaon na ito sa limot?

Marami ang nagsasabi na ang pag-bubukas muli ng naturang kaso saSenado ay isang hakbang lamang upangmakaganti si Senador Juan Ponce Enriledahil sa pagdidiin sa kanya sa kasongmaling paggamit ng Pork Barrel. Ngu-nit maari rin nitong isiwalat ang mgakatutuhanan lalot may dahilan ang unaupang ilabas nga ang tutuong mga nang-yari kahit pa masangkot ang ating pan-

gulo maging ang kanyang kalihim ngDepartment of Interior and Local Gov-ernment (DILG) si Sec. Mar Roxas nangayon ay kandidato sa pagkapangulong kaalyadng partido na Lakas.

Kung may direktang kinalaman si Pan-gulong Aquino sa Oplan Exodus paanoito mapapanagot gayong kontroladonito ang parehong Senado at Kongresona siyang maaring maghain ng impeach-ment. Ganun din sa Ombudsman atKorte Suprema na hindi makakaila na

malakas ang impluyensya ni PangulongAquino.Ayon kay Senador Juan Ponce Enrile

sa pagtatapos ng termino ni PangulongAquino malaki ang tyansa na madiin angpangulo sa korte sapagkat ito ay manu-numbalik sa pagiging isang normal nacitizen. Ngunit mangyayari lamang itokung ang uupong susunod na panguloay hindi nito kaalyado.

Hindi makakaila na masigasig angpangulo sa pangangampanya kay Sec-retary Mar Roxas na maraming nag-sasabing siyang magbibigay ng pro-teksyon sa Pangulo Aquino sakalingmahalal si Roxas bilang susunod napangulo sa darating na halalan sa Mayo.

Kung ating babalikan, pinasinungal-ingan ng Philippine National Police

s Board of Inquiry ang sinasabi ni gi-noong Mar Roxas na out of the loopo wala siyang kinalaman sa operasyonna ikinamatay ng SAF44 nang isiwalatnito ang mga text messages diumano

na noon na dating PNP Chief LeonardoEspina. Ayon sa mga text ipinaalam diu-mano kay Mar Roxas ang nangyayaringoperasyon umaga pa lamang. At bagopa mananghalian alam na nito na grabena ang sitwasyon. Ang lubos na naka-babahala ay ang kawalan ng concern ngkalihim sa sitwasyon ng SAF44 dahil sapagtatanong nito sa kanyang 10:36 a.m.text kay Espina kung may nakuha nabang video o larawan maging DNA okahit ano mang patunay na napatay na

ang target na si Marwan.Bilang kalihim ng DILG na siyangdirektang may hawak sa Philippine Na-tional Police nasa kamay nito ang pag-bibigay ng impormasyon sa pangulo atmaaring maging ang kautusan na supor-tahan na ng puwersa ang SAF 44. Lalona at ayon mismo sa pinuno ng Special

Action Force na si Getulio Napeas namay humigit kumulang na 252 na pw-ersa ang inihanda sa operasyon na nag-dagdagan pa na umabot sa 382. Kung

agad nag-utos ang Pangulo at mabilisna kumilos ang Kalihim upang masagipang SAF44, at sa dami ng pwersa mala-mang ay buhay pa hanggang ngayon angating mga pulis.

Sa mga naisiwalat na pangyayari hindipa ba sapat ang command responsibil-ity upang mabigyan ng liwanag man la-mang ang kaso? At tuluyan nang mabig-yan ng hustisya ang pagkamatay ng atingmagigiting na pulis at ng kani-kanilangmga naiwang pamilya.

Sa mga naunang pagdinig at mul-ing pagdidinig sa kaso nararapat pabang iasa natin ang bayan sa mga na-sasangkot? May maasahan ba tayonglinaw o mababaon na lamang sa limotang kadakilaan ng ating mga anak napulis na nag-alay ng kanilang buhay?

BBL unlimitedNO. Tis is definitely not about anybusiness corporation with unlimitedcapitalists funding it, with unlimitedincorporators managing it, and otherunlimited features. Yes. Tis is aboutsomething that brings about unlimitedissues, unlimited difficulties, unlimitedcontradictionsirrespective of whetherBBL is approved or disapproved by theLegislative department, confirmed or re-

jected by the Judicial department. Tesupposedly Basic Law can readily be thecause for otherwise law-abiding peopleto turn lawless. And this is a big pre-dicament for this country which is now,in fact, under threat from within and

without.Tis is in effect saying that the pre-

sent administration under the baton ofthe incumbent Malacaang occupant

with its obedient and even subservientallies in the Executive department, hasformally started a big socio-politicalpredicament in the countrysome-thing that will continue to haunt thepeace and tranquility of people of thePhilippines even after the same publicofficial is long gone from the sight andattention of the general public in thepost-May 2016 era. Instead of bring-ing about a solution, exactly the sameChief-in-Command is instead leaving

behind a legacy of confusion and pursu-ant dissension.Once approved by the Legislature and

affirmed by the Judiciary, consideringthat the BBL covers but a small por-tion of both the people and the land ofMindanao, anything and many thingscan happen through one after anotherdisconcerting or even dissenting initia-

tives of those not benefited by it es-pecially so when their interests andconcerns, their common good or public

welfare are, in effect, undermined by thesaid law. In other words and saying itfrom the heart, BBL spells neither de-finitive unity nor defining peace. Testanding fact is true even now duringits politico-constitutional evaluation,both loud pro and anti BBL camps arealready being heard repeatedly, here andthere.

When disapproved by the Legislativeand thus silencing the Judiciary, takinginto account that those avidly propos-ing and endorsing it from within thePhilippines, as well as from anothercountrywho are not exactly known aspromoters of public harmony and muchless are they looked upon as moder-

atesto expect but their submission oracquiescence to such a disapproval is buta dream. Tey are not exactly fightersfor peace. Tey do not manufacture,own and carry guns and ammunitions

just for picture-taking. What they say,they do. And what they have, they use.

What a serious and dangerous na-tional predicament this present adminis-tration has brought about and is leavingbehind to the fear and uncertainty of thepeople in terms of the BBLin addi-

tion to the Pork Barrel institution, theredefinition of Savings, the example ofbeing Busy while doing nothing, etc.,etc. What is more strange is hearingthe one behind all the above hullaba-looand morerepeatedly saying thathe wants a successor who will continue

what he has done, come May 2016!Tis is hallucinationto say the least!

Just so, your light must shine before others, that they maysee your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.

Never Forget Never Again

FORY three years ago Presi-dent Ferdinand Marcos de-clared Martial Law. He abol-ished congress, suppressedpress freedom and other civilliberties and violated the rightsof the people. Tousands ofopposition leaders and studentactivists were imprisoned. Sus-pected subversives and crimi-nals were subsequently arrestedor executed (salvaged) withoutdue process. His justificationfor his dictatorial rule: to savethe republic, reform societyand build a new societyangBagong Lipunan . He empha-

sized discipline and one of theslogans was: sa ikakaunlad ngbayan, disiplina ang kailangan.

Trough farcical referendumand plebiscite, Marcos enacteda new constitution which pro-

vided a legal basis for his dic-tatorial rule, with a subservi-ent judiciary and parliament.He tried to replace the oli-garchy with his cronies whocontrolled all sectors of theeconomy. Tus, he monopo-lized political and economicpower. He was a ruthless, re-pressive and corrupt dictator,

who enriched himself whilemajority of his people wal-lowed in poverty. Many ofthose in the military and thepolice became corrupt as welland engaged in torture, ex-trajudicial killings and forced

disappearances.I was one of the victims ofthe Marcos dictatorial rule. In1973, on the first anniversaryof Martial Law, I was arrest-ed, tortured and imprisoned

for seven months. My crime:producing and distributingleaflets that denounced thedictatorial rule. I was just an

18-year old college seminar-ian studying at a University inCebu and involved in studentactivism. After I was releasedfrom prison and continuedmy priestly formation, I wasconstantly haunted by a recur-ring nightmare reminding meof the terror and pain I expe-rienced. During that dark pe-riod, priests that I personallyknew were among the victims:Fr. Godofredo Alingal, SJ theparish priest of Kibawe assassi-nated for his prophetic denun-ciation of military abuses andFr. Rudy Romano, CSsR, afellow Redemptorist who wasabducted and made to disap-pear by military intelligenceagents. Tere were BEC lead-ers and pastoral workers who

were arrested or killed by mili-

tary and paramilitary units. Afew months before the end ofthe Marcos era, my mother

Te Churchs M.V..(Most Valuable reasure)

I FIND it remarkable that theFifty-first International Eucha-rist Congress was held in Cebu.Not that I doubt for one mo-ment Cebus special place asthe cradle of Catholicism in

Asia. I have a more personalreason. It was a Cebuano songI used to listen to, growing upin Borongan, Eastern Samar,that quite incidentally and in-directly led me to better appre-ciate the Eucharist. Rememberthe Matud Nila (Tey Say or,literally, According to Tem)?It was a poignant song I wouldhear over the radio and fromsome of our neighborhood

toughies who would drink tuba(coco wine) on a hot summerSunday, singing their hearts out

with a rundown guitar, about ayoung mans lament over being

judged unworthy of a lady heloves because he has no wealthto offer her but his gugmangputli (pure love) which to himis labaw sa bulawan (more pre-cious than gold).

While reading St. John PaulIIs encyclical Ecclesia de Eu-charistia (Te Church from theEucharist), that Cebuano songcame back to me. No, it wasnot any poor young man thatcrossed my mind but the PoorCarpenter from Nazareth whodeclared, Foxes have holes andbirds of the air have nests, butthe Son of Man has nowhere tolay his head (Lk 9:58). In the

words of Paul the Apostle to thePhilippian Christians (could be

Philippine Christians too):Tough he was in the formof God he did not deem equal-ity with God something to begrasped at. Rather he emptiedhimself and took the form of aslave, being born in the likenessof men. And it was thus thathe humbled himself, becom-ing obedient even unto death,death on a Cross (Phil 2:6-8).He was so poor he had nothing

to give except his pure love. Inmy minds eye it was this PoorCarpenter from Nazareth whoreally first sang Matud Nila tohis bride, the Church.

I really wouldnt know ifthe late saintly pope had everheard of Matud Nila duringthe two occasions he visitedthe country, including Cebu.But I was struck by the lan-

guage he used with which todescribe the Eucharist for usChristians. Te pure, pure lovethat Jesus, the Poor Carpenterfrom Nazareth, offers us onthe Cross is right at the heartof the Eucharist, he declares. Itis the reason why the Eucharistis the source and summit of theChurchs life. Says St. John PaulII: For the most Holy Eucha-rist contains the Churchs entire

spiritual wealth: Christ himself,our Passover and living bread(EdeE 1; PO 5).

In a word, it is not really hispure love alone that we en-counter in the Eucharist but

Jesus himself by whose passion,death, resurrection and ascen-sion we pass from darkness tolight, from death to life, fromsin to grace; hence, he is ourPassover. And Jesus is himselfour food in this very life ofgrace; hence, he is our LivingBread.

It is said that the Philippinesfavorite sport is basketball

which determines the winnerby the most points scored. Onthe other hand, in the story ofsalvation the real winner wasdetermined by how much helost because he has loved most.His crown and living pres-ence is a sacrament called theEucharist. Te winning basket-ball team has the MVP (MostValuable Player); the Eucharisthas the MV (Most Valuablereasure).

As far as the Eucharist isconcerned, Matud Nila has, tome, a agalog sequel in ang-ing Yaman (Most Preciousreasure) which, I would say,is rightfully addressed to Je-sus in the Eucharist. He is the

reason why we can sing: Ikawang aking tanging yaman/ na dilubusang masumpungan/. Angnilikha mong kariktan/, sulyapng iyong kagandahan (You are

of the Philippine Constabulary (PC nowknown as PNP-SAF) who were later killed in ashootout with the police after another robbery

attempt. Everything seemed so hopeless at thattime until the miraculous EDSA People Power

which was for me a manifestation of Gods lib-erating action in history.

It seemed a long time ago and many haveforgotten or are ignorant about the dark pe-riod of the history of our country. Nowadays,there are many who believe that Marcos wasthe greatest president of the Philippines and

who question the heroism of Ninoy Aquinowhose death later became the inspiration ofthe People Power. Tese are the people who aretoo young and ignorant to know what reallyhappened or old enough to be instruments orcollaborators of the Marcos dictator and whobenefited from his rule. Tese are the samepeople who are clamoring for his son to runfor the highest office. Some are supporting thecandidacy of a politician who has the reputa-tion of being as corrupt as the former dictatorand is being investigated for plunder. Others

who are fed up with the judicial system andrule of law are clamoring for a strong mananother dictatorwho will instill discipline,

rule with an iron hand, abolish congress, ig-nore human rights and civil liberties and un-leash the death squads all over the country tostamp out criminality. Tey want history to re-peat itself. Tis is our fatal flaw. Our collectivememory as a nation is as short as our noses.Ferdinand Marcos is long dead but his legacylives on. Graft and corruption is imbedded inour political, economic and judicial systems.Tere are government officials as well as thosein the military and police who think and actas if they are above the law, who use their po-sitions to enrich themselves, and who violatehuman rights. Forced disappearances, tortureand extrajudicial killings continue.

Tose of us who witnessed, who suffered andwho survived that dark period have an obliga-tion to remind the nation and the new genera-tion of the evil of the Marcos dictatorial ruleand its persistence in our time. We will continueto cry out: We will never forget. Never again.

7PEBRERO 12, 2016 featureAng Cellphone at Ang Manibela

Kahit saan tayo pumunta laginating dala ang ating cellphone.uwing aalis tayo ng bahay,lagi nating sinisigurado na dalanatin ito. Pagbaba natin ng sa-sakyan lalo na kapag nagcom-mute, agad natin sinisilip o ki-nakapa ang ating cellphone saating bag o bulsa. Para sa isang

napakaliit na bagay, malaki angkahalagahan ng cellphone parasaatin.

Sa isang araw, kalahati nito aynakalaan sa pagtingin sa atingcellphone. Maaari ay tinitignannatin ang Facebook o witter,nagte-text, o sadyang sinisiliplang kung may bagong update.Ang paghawak at pagtingin samga cellphone ngayon ay hindilamang tuwing nakaupo. Ha-

bang naglalakad sa daan, haloslahat ng makakasalubong mo aymay hawak na cellphone. Kapagikaw ay nasa loob ng bus o jeep,

marami rin ang may hawak ngcellphone. Ika nga, kahit saanka pumunta, dala-dala mo angiyong cellphone.

Wala namang masama sa lag-ing pagdala at paghawak ngating cellphone, maliban na la-mang kung magdudulot ito ngkapahamakan sa sarili natin o sa

kapwa. Sa ngayon, laganap angpaggamit ng cellphone habangnagmamaneho.

Sa isang lugar katulad ngPilipinas kung saan talamakang traffic, hindi nakabigla-bigla kung magiging libanganng isang taong nagmamanehoang kanyang cellphone lalo nakung napakabagal ng galawng trapiko. May iba naman naginagamit ang kanilang cell-

phone kapag nasa stoplight. Atmayroon ding mga tao na hindmabitawan ang cellphone kahitumaandar na ang sasakyan.

Nakalista sa baba ang ilangimpormasyon sa paggamit ng

cellphone habangnagmamane-ho:

1.) Ayon sa datos ng NationalStatistics Office (NSO) sa 2015,na ngunguna ang paggamit ngcellphone habang nagmamane-ho sa mga dahilan kung bakitnagkakaroon ng aksidente sadaan. inala sa ulat na sa pagi-tan ng 2010 hanggang 2012umabotsa 1,290 ang bilang ng

mga naaksidente dahil sa pag-gamit ng cellphone (CNN Phil-ippines, 2015).

2.) Ang Senate Bill 872 o angRegulating the use of mobilephone while driving ay isinu-lat upang mapababa ang dum-adami ng bilang ng mga taongna papahamak dahil sa pag-gamit ng cellphone habang nag-mamaneho. Iminumungkahinito ang pagbigay ng naaayonna parusa sa mga mahuhuli saparaan ng pagbayad ng multa opagkasuspinde ng lisensya.

3.) Noong 2012, isang pampa-saherong bus ang bumangga sarailing ng EDSA-flyover. Samputao ang nasaktan, walong pasa-hero, isang motorista, at isangMMDA officer na parehong

malapit sa flyover. Isang kotsedin ang natamaan ng mga na-hulog na debris ng bus ngunitligtas naman ang nasa sasakyan.

Ayon sa lahat ng pasahero, angdrayber ay madalas na hawak

ang kanyang cellphone at nagte-text habang nag mamaneho.

4.) Ayonsa Virginia ech rans-portation Institute, ang pagte-text habang nagmamaneho

ay may mas mataas na pag-kakataong magresulta sa aksi-dente kaysa sa pagmamanehong lasing.

5.) Ayon sa International Busi-ness imes, ang mga taongnagte-text ay inaabot ng li-mangsegundonanakatinginsa-kanilang cellphone. Kung an-gtao ay nagmamanehosaisanghighway na may speed limit na60 pataas, halos 40 meters anghaba ng daan na sila ay hindi nakatingin.

Maraming magandang naid-udulot ang ating cellphone. Ito

ay nagsisilbing libangan kapagwalang magawa, at isa rin itongcommunication device paramapalapit sa ating mga mi-namahal. Ngunit ating tandaannasa dami ng magandang di-

nudulot ng cellphone, ay maykalakip din na kapahamakang paggamit nito lalo na ha-bang nagmamaneho. Sa susu-nod, mas mabuting ilagay nalang muna sa silent o itago angiyong cellphone sa iyong bag.Kung hindi matitiis na buksanito, ipabasa ang text message saiyong kasama o tumigil ka sa-glit sa gilid ng daan. andaanna ang kapahamakan ng pagte-

text habang nagmamaneho ayhindi lamang sayo kundi samga iba pang tao na walangkamalay-malay.

8 PEBRERO 12, 2016sportsPBA FINALS RUNDOWN:San Miguel captures PH title

through the unimaginableFor the first time in the PhilippineBasketball scenery, a championshipis achieved by a team despite facing a0-3 hole to start it. In Game 4 and thepossible clincher for Alaska, the Aces

were less than three minutes away fromsweeping the 2015 defending champs,as they led by 11 over the Beermen.However, the fire of San Miguel juststarted to ignite at that point, as they

were able to escape and eventually pulloff their Beeracle Run.

Lets track down on how SMB did it.

Game 1: Alaska drew first blood withfourth quarter comebackSan Miguels MVP June Mar Fajardosuffered a seemingly punishing leftknee injury in their semis clincheragainst the Rain or Shine Elasto Paint-

ers. Fajardo sat out, giving more min-utes to unsung centers with Yancy DeOcampo and Gabby Espinas. Te Beer-men displayed balanced scoring, not-

withstanding the loss of their main gunin Fajardo. Tey led by a dozen in thefourth quarter, just to lose grip against

Alaskas frenetic defense, in addition toVic Manuel and Calvin Abuevas hus-tle. Alaska outscored San Miguel, 34-16 in the final frame to take Game Oneof the series, 100-91.

Game 2: Manuel powers Alaska to a2-0 leadFor the second straight game, the Beer-men kept pace with Alaska sans Fajar-do, giving them another shot to tie theseries. However, Manuel poured in anefficient 18-point game to lead another

decisive fourth quarter surge by Alaska.Despite late free throws missed by Alas-ka, the Beermen succumbed late, asRonald ubid and Yancy De Ocampomissed rally-stopping baskets. Alaskastarted to dominate and looked poisedin their accumulated momentum withtheir 83-80 Game wo victory.

Game 3: Alaska ends up victors inLucena duel to make it 3-0Te PBA staged its first finals game onthe road, held at the Quezon Conven-tion Center in Lucena. Once again,the top two teams of the PBA madeit neck-to-neck, giving the fans a treatas the match went hanging in the bal-ance. It was a defensive-themed affairin the first three quarters, which endedup in favor of SMB. However, RJ Ja-zul knocked down back-to-back clutch

hits down the stretch to give Alaska thelead with a minute left. Game-sealingfree throws gave the Aces the seeming-ly-over 3-0 series lead, with an 82-75victory in Lucena.

Game 4: San Miguel keeps seasonalive with fourth quarter fightbackTen came the fourth game of the se-ries wherein the Aces looked poised to

wrap the series up. Alaska mounteda double-digit separation with three

minutes left in regulation. Te Beer-men used balanced contributionfrom Gabby Espinas, Alex Cabagnotand Arwind Santos to claw their wayback. On the other end, Cyrus Bagu-io swished an impressive triple at thebuzzer to extend the game to overtime.However, a 9-0 lockdown by SMB in

extension, led by Chris Ross and com-pany, pushed SMB to their first finals

win of the series, 110-104.

Game 5: With Fajardo back, SMBstays alive with another OT win

June Mar Fajardo made his finals de-but off the bench in Game 5 of thisseries. However, he had minutes re-

striction due to the monitoring of hisknee. A low-scoring affair yielded an-other overtime finish, as Calvin Abuevamissed a bankshot at the buzzer. Forthe second straight overtime game,San Miguel took control in extension,this time making an 11-0 start to stunthe Alaska crew. Fajardo played duringthis stretch, and was instrumental onthe defensive end. Arwind Santos alsobroke out of his shooting slump as his22-point game carried SMB to an 86-73 win.

Game 6: San Miguel staves off an-other elimination to extend series todistanceFajardo came off the bench again, buthim and Marcio Lassiter were phe-nomenal in SMBs Game 6 victory toextend the series for the third straight

time. Lassiters three-point sniping waskey in the fourth, while the Beermenmade sure that there would be no Alas-ka comeback to spoil their ferociousrally. Alaska made a mini-rally late,but resulted to nothing as the Beermenresponded to protect their lead. SMBforced a Game 7, with a 100-89 winand a 33-point fourth quarter in Game

6.Game 7: Beermen completes Beera-cle Run to grab history

With momentum taking a full swingtowards SMB, the Beermen rackedup the points from their main pro-tagonists. Tey led by as much as21, 68-47, during the third quarter,as their barrage of points and defen-sive stops throttled the Aces. Fajardoscored 11 points during the period,

while Alaska had no answer in thethird quarter berserk of San Miguel.However, Alaska put up their last runin the finals, slicing the lead down tofive in the fourth quar ter.
