Mayor rodrigo r. Duterte has clarified re-ports that there are residents of Davao who have joined the Islamic State of Iraq

and Syria (ISIS), a terrorist organization which is trying to establish a stronghold in the Middle East.

“I did not say that they are joining ISIS. I just said natakot ako baka mapunta doon (I said I was afraid they might go there),” Duterte said in an interview Monday night..

“Let me be very clear on that. Takot ako, sabi ko. Baka kasi makuha nila yung technology doon of terror(I said I was afraid

because they might acquire the technology of terror there),” he said.

Various media outlets have reported Duterte as saying some

Davao City residents have left the country after being recruit-ed by ISIS.

Duterte’s statement was tak-en as a reinforcement of an ear-

lier claim made by former Pres-ident Fidel V. ramos who said in a recent TV interview that about 100 young Filipinos are training

organIzErS are expecting more than 10,000 peo-

ple to visit the upcoming Philconstruct Mindanao 2014 to be held at the SMX Convention Center in SM Lanang Premier on September 4 to 6.

at a press conference and event launch yes-terday, event chairman engineer ramon allado said the event has grown “into something really big” since it started in

Mindanao three years ago.

He said trade atten-dance at Philconstruct Mindanao has grown from 2,316 in 2010 to 7,175 in 2013.

“also, with 82 exhib-iting companies occupy-ing 286 booths last year, a remarkable 58 percent growth was recorded,” he added.

“These numbers prove that our objective in bringing businesses

closer to the market has been truly effective. Cel-ebrating its fifth year, Philconstruct Mindan-ao… will once again open their doors to suppliers, manufacturers, distrib-utors, and providers of building materials, heavy equipment, con-crete, paints, hardware products, power tools, and many more,” he said.

allado said Mindanao has been recognized as one of the top local econ-

omies in the country “with its improving in-vestment climate driven by aggressive economic activities in the region.”

In a press statement, the organizers said de-velopments like infra-structure, building and construction “play a vi-tal role in this growth and due to the influx of investments; more op-portunities are open to the entire business com-munity.”

“Further to these is the increasing number of projects the local gov-ernment has planned to support the growth of business districts in the region,” the statement added.

allado also revealed some of the highlights of the show.

“There is more to expect aside from the wide-range display of products and technolo-gies. Technoforum Min-

danao is one of the most anticipated seminar series in Philconstruct where industry secrets are revealed,” he said.

Technoforum Mind-anao 2014 chair engi-neer Wilfredo guerzon said Technoforum is “the main highlight of Phil-construct” and consists of a series of seminars and workshops to talk about “anything and ev-erything that relates to

Philconstruct Mindanao to attract 10,000 visitorsBy JON JOAQUIN

MEMBErS of wom-en’s rights group gabriela-South-

ern Mindanao yesterday staged a picket rally in front of the Davao City Po-lice office (DCPo) to pro-test what they said was the slow reaction of city officials on the alleged violence committed by DCPo director Senior Su-perintendent Vicente Da-nao against his wife.

gabrie l a-Southern Mindanao spokesperson Mary ann Sapar told Edge Davao that the investiga-tion on Danao is “slow” because he is a “PMaer” or a graduate of the Phil-ippine Military academy (PMa).

The rally was held a day after gabriela par-ty-list rep. Luzviminda Ilagan condemned Da-nao’s action, which was caught on video and post-ed on youtube. The video apparently shows Dan-ao acting violently and shouting at his wife inside their home.

IIlagan said she will lobby Danao’s case to De-partment of Interior and Local government Secre-tary Mar roxas when they meet on Thursday.

She said gabriela is already coordinating with Mrs. Danao who is now in United States with the couple’s two children.

Ilagan also said the

City Council was guilty of “double standards” by ignoring the Danao issue while acting swiftly on comedian ramon Bau-tista, who had publicly made a joke about Davao City being full of “hipon” or shrimp, a reference to women who have beau-tiful bodies but unat-tractive faces.

Councilors Leah Lib-rado- yap and antoinette g. Principe-Castrodes, however, defended the City Council, saying the “hipon” issue is entirely different from Danao’s.

DOUSED. Megaworld chair Dr. Andrew L. Tan becomes the first Filipino tycoon to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Dr. Tan

also made a donation to the ALS Association, the US-based orga-nization that raises funds to find cure for the disease.

aLMoST two weeks after the celebra-tion of the Kaday-

awan Festival, some mar-shals who volunteered to secure major activity areas are yet to be paid their honorarium.

This was according to councilor Edgar Ibuyan Sr., who said in a radio interview that the de-lay in the release of the Kadayawan fund caused some marshals to be un-paid.

Kadayawan executive committee spokesper-son councilor al ryan alejandre said the prob-lem lies with the Kaday-awan Foundation.

“I do not know about it because it is the Ka-dayawan Foundation that is handling the fi-nancial status and ways and means, not the city government of Davao,”

he said.alejandre said the

marshals should have been paid but they did not show up last august 20 when the Kadayawan Foundation issued a check voucher to Ibuy-an amounting P36, 600 for the initial payment of personnel who volun-teered for the festivity.

“The protocol is that the marshals themselves should come to get their payment,” he said.

alejandre said Ibuy-an, who is currently on leave now, is part of the executive committee for Kadayawan and was in charge of public security during the festival.

“ang kulang na lang ay P22, 000,” alejandre said, adding that the to-tal approved budget for honoraria was P58,600 which is broken down

to marshal or utility (P15,000); monitoring team (P21,000); water station team (P4,000); motor cop (P18,000); and drivers, band, and electrician (P600).

He said he heard over the radio that Ibuyan had said there was insuf-ficient fund in his com-mittee.

“It’s quite unfair that we would hear about this only through the media,” alejandre said.

He said the executive committee has not met since the celebration.

alejandre said Ibuy-an is allegedly asking for a bigger budget than what was already appro-priated for his peace and security committee.

He said there have been reports that Ibuy-an hired additional mar-shals from different ba-

rangays in the city that were not included in the appropriated fund.

“Kana ang taas-ta-as na isturyahanun kay nagdugang daw si coun-cilor Ibuyan ug addition-al marshals even with-out the approval of the committee,” he said.

alejandre said the committee has no idea how many marshals in all were tapped for the Kadayawan Festival.

He said the commit-tee manned by 20 city government officials will meet today for the post-evaluation of the festival.

Issues that will be discussed today are the alleged unpaid marshals as well as the uncollect-ed fees from companies listed in the accredited events during the Kaday-awan. CRC

THE ECONOMY

“groWTH Be-yond Conver-gence” is the

exciting theme of the upcoming 23rd Mindan-ao Business Conference (MInBIzCon) that both the general Santos City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (gSC-CCII) and Sarangani Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (SCCII) are hosting on Septem-ber 1-3, 2014 in general Santos City.

In a statement, Phil-ippine Chamber of Com-merce and Industry regional governor for Southern Mindanao and conference director rey Billena said the MInBIz-Con is the biggest gath-ering of business leaders of the various business sectors comprising Min-danao Island.

In 2009, gSCCCII hosted the same event with US ambassador to the Philippines Kristie Kenny gracing the affair and 1,200 delegates par-ticipating.

This year’s confer-ence theme fleshes out

the intent to proactively anticipate the aSEan in-tegration by 2015.

The conference does not limit its participants to businessman alone but will involve profes-sional practitioners, the academe, and govern-ment agencies in the aSEan communities and their trading partners.

aSEan is composed of the Philippines, Ma-laysia, Thailand, Indo-nesia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia. Trading part-ners include the United States of america, China, India, South Korea, aus-tralia, and new zealand.

The conference promises to be the initial taste towards the 2015 Economic Integration. It will be the convergence of stakeholders in the aSEan region to rally behind integration, thus promoting shared eco-nomic prosperity and cooperative peace as we compete in the world economy.

Everyone who comes

will definitely look at their economic growth beyond convergence, Billena said.

Conference topics in-clude pressing issues in the impending aSEan integration: 1) Mindan-ao in the aSEan Market; 2) aSEan Trade agree-ments; 3) aSEan Market; 4) aSEan Connectivity; 5) Energy Efficiency; 6) Financing growth; 7) In-tellectual Property; and Standards and Confor-mance. Speakers are ex-perts and authorities of their chosen fields. 2-3 reactors from the aSEan market will respond to an expert speaker. Both speakers and reactors will come from the aSE-an region.

“This year, we are in-viting individuals from the fields of business, academics, professional practice, and government units to join us and be in the know of the changes and opportunities that the aSEan integration has to offer to the Philip-pine market and econo-my,” Billena said.

Solving a big problemEDITORIAL

THE Bureau of Fisheries and aquatic resources in the Davao region will strictly enforce seasonal ban on fishing within the Davao gulf to arrest the de-

cline of fish production in the area. Well and good.a presentation last week showed findings of a study

identifying the culprits behind the continuing depletion of fish resources within this once very rich body of water.

For instance, the gulf has been pinpointed as a spawn-ing ground of tuna. This was before tuna production in the area declined to a point that Davao is no longer known for the popular export product, but general Santos City. old-time Dabawenyos, especially the baby-boomers, know that the gulf used to abound with other fish resources, too. In fact, according to the BFar-Davao national Stock assessment Program, the gulf is the feeding ground for 11 species of cetaceans, including sperm whales, kill-er whales, and bottle-nose dolphins. The gulf, the study found, is also a nursing ground for five endangered turtle species like the hawksbill, the leatherback and olive rid-ley.

“Davao gulf is a key biodiversity area (KBa) in the

Philippines, which is listed as one of the 34 biodiversity hot spots in the world,” the study said.

The depletion of fish resources in the gulf has been at-tributed to various reasons. These include pollution due to unchecked garbage dumping from all over, destruction of fish habitat, diminishing sea grass, conversion of man-grove areas to recreational resorts, and poor fishing prac-tices, among many others.

one alarming finding of the stock assessment program is the decline of small pelagic fishes, a reason production has not been sufficient to meet the demand for fish in the region.

It would seem that BFar has made the right decision to implement a closed fishing season in the gulf, initially from June 27 to august 31 purportedly to conserve ma-rine resources and secure the spawning period of pelagic fishes in the gulf.

However, considering the various challenges identified by the study, one move is not enough. BFar and its col-laborators must implement other measures to address all the problems.

PHILIPPINE PRESS INSTITUTEthe national association of newspapers


LaST april, an environment group named Ban Toxics (BT) came to Davao City and told a group of jour-

nalists that dental amalgam, commonly used as silver fillings to restore teeth with cavities, has high content of mercury.

In a press conference, Myline Maca-buhay, chemicals management assistant of the group, presented a study done last year in at least five dental schools across the country. It showed that the use of silver fillings resulted in contamination and mercury vapor emissions as high as 35,000 nanograms per cubic meter (ng/m3) in working areas.

The study, “What is in the air: Mercury Vapor Levels in Dental Institutions,” was conducted in partnership with the Inter-national association of oral and Medical Toxicologists-Philippines, asia Center for Environmental Health, and World alli-ance for Mercury-Free Dentistry.

In the study, the researchers used a Lumex r195 Plus Mercury vapor an-alyzer to measure mercury levels over five-second and 10-second sampling pe-riods. The study wanted to determine if the school exceeded the acceptable mer-cury levels set by the United States’ De-partment of Health’s aTSDr (agency for Toxic Substances and Disease registry).

The test conducted in one of the den-tal schools in southern Mindanao showed high mercury vapor levels measured at the cuspidor and trays, with 1,069 ng/mc 1,018 ng/m3, respectively. aSTDr set acceptable levels for mercury vapor at 1,000 ng/m3. If there is a breach in the mark, the source is immediately isolated.

But in some areas where the study was conducted, a concentration of more than 10,000 ng/m3 was posted. In the

United States, if there is such high concentra-tion of mercu-rcy, an evacua-tion level alert is immediately issued.

In a press release issued by the Philip-pine Informa-tion agency, Macabuhay was quoted as saying that wasted bins, sinks, and drain-age areas have higher levels of mercury vapor. In the Davao region dental school, for instance, the old drainage tube regis-tered 40,813 ng/c3.

as the country is a signatory of the Minamata Convention, the group is de-manding for the immediate banning of amalgams in the dental profession and for a change in the dental curriculum be-fore the deadline in 2016.

“The exposure to toxic mercury va-pors in dental institutions is unneces-sary and preventable,” explained atty. richard gutierrez, executive director of BT. “Learning methodologies can be put into place to avoid toxic mercury. This should itself be a strong incentive as well to abandon dental amalgam use in its entirety in the Philippines.”

Dental amalgam is composed of an alloy of mercury (50 percent), silver (22-32 percent), tin (14 percent), cop-per (8 percent), and other trace materi-als. among these materials, mercury is a potent toxic substance that could harm the nervous, gastrointestinal, and renal organ systems. Mercury is also an ingre-dient in beauty products such as soaps,

lotions, hair-straighteners, and skin bleaches.

Mercury is classified into inorganic mercury and organic mercury. Metallic mercury, which is a type of inorganic mercury, is used in familiar items such as fluorescent lights, batteries, and ther-mometers. The methyl mercury is a type of organic mercury. It is a white powdery substance and smells like the sulfur in a hot spring. It is easily absorbed from the stomach into the blood and carried to the liver and kidney, and then the brain and even the fetus, where it is absorbed and concentrated and causes great dam-age to the human body.

But according to Dean Vicente o. Me-dina III, DMD, PhD of the College of Den-tistry of the University of the Philippines Manila, there is “no amalgam controver-sy anywhere else in the world.”

“It is really unfortunate that the Phil-ippine media was used to spread misin-formation,” he said in an article that ap-peared in “Health and Lifestyle,” a maga-zine for health professionals. Dr. Medina assured the public that they have noth-ing to worry about as the safety issue of dental amalgam has been thoroughly studied by experts belonging to reputa-ble agencies and organizations.

Dr. Medina said american dentists have been using amalgam for more than 150 years now, since 1859. The amer-ican Dental association (aDa) has con-tinuously maintained since then that silver fillings are safe.

In 1993, the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug administration circulated this memo: “Current scientific evidence does not show that exposure to mercury from

amalgam restorations poses a serious health risk in humans, except for an ex-ceedingly small number of allergic reac-tions.”

In october 2007, the World Dental Federation issued this statement: “Den-tal amalgam releases very small amounts of mercury, some of which is absorbed by the body… There is no evidence to support an association between the presence of amalgam restorations and chronic degenerative diseases, kidney disease, autoimmune disease, cognitive function, adverse pregnancy outcomes, or any non-specific symptoms.”

after looking at the researches done on the common filling materials, includ-ing dental amalgam, the European Union Scientific Community on Emerging and newly Identified Health risks conclud-ed: “all the materials are considered safe to use and they are all associated with very low rates of local adverse effect with no evidence of systemic disease. The alternative materials such as resin composites, glass ionomer cements, and ceramics, among others, are not with-out clinical limitations and toxicological hazards.”

“The scientific evidence supports the position that amalgam is a valuable, via-ble, and safe choice for dental patients,” said the american Dental association during the Council on Scientific affairs in July 2009.

as such, Dr. Medina urged people not to believe those who are using “scare tactics.” as he put it: “Dental amalgam is economical, not technique-sensitive, and is indicated for the restoration of moder-ate to large cavities which is commonly seen among majority of Filipinos.”

Filipinos don’t seem very excited about the choices they have: a former senator turned local government secretary and losing vice presidential bet during the previous national polls, a former city mayor and current second highest official of the land, and other lesser-known pre-tenders with soaring political ambitions.

It has always been said that democ-racy was the worst form of government, except for all the other kinds. Plainly, election in a Philippine setting is some-thing eccentric simply because the qual-ities required to get elected are not nec-essarily the ones needed to run a nation. In the presidential race, for example, “electability” seems dominant.

Presidential hopeful Mar roxas has few obvious qualifications other than a nationally famous name, presently DILg top honcho and close political ally of

President Be-nigno aquino III. although more popular than the rest of the early p r e t e n d e r s , Vice President Jejomar Binay is seen mainly as an effective political oper-ator who advances his personal inter-ests, not necessarily the public’s. others may woo voters with their convincing power – unless you happen to be one of the innocents allowed to be use either as witting or unwitting tools.

Faced with a credibility problem, po-litical strategists have given roxas a slim chance in grabbing the presidency. This prodded the latter of floating the idea that President aquino is still the best bet of the Liberal Party (LP). Mindful or not

of the notion, the President did flirt of amending the Constitution which would allow himself to run for a send term, but only if his “bosses” would say so. How-ever, the administration backed down amid strong opposition from most Fili-pinos.

Presently, the country is by no means immune to the political storm sweep-ing the region. For the most part, the country is weathering better than its neighboring nations. It became a show-case of economic resurgence as some of its neighbors are hitting the economic skids. Some of the success must be at-tributed to President aquino’s conduct in office. But if his administration is to be faulted, it is the President’s less-than-sterling record against massive corrup-tion and smuggling activities.

Some political experts feel the Pres-ident could have been tougher against dishonest people in all levels of public life. other critical problems such as high

crime index and poor delivery of ba-sic social services likewise continue to haunt the aquino leadership. Voters may yet see the government should cushion its impact on poor Filipinos. There might be progress but the result hardly trickles down to the masses of our people.

Whoever is successful in the 2016 presidential race should lead the coun-try in far better shape than it was under the aquino administration. There is little doubt that Filipinos will be able to pull through the current rough patch. In the meantime, some argue that the funda-mental failing of Philippine democracy lies in its wide-open, multiparty nature, which seems likely to produce a Presi-dent whom Filipinos did not vote for.

The system tends to emphasize one dimension of a candidate’s political persona to secure the plurality of votes needed to win. There is some truth to this, and in the future the country may want to make changes.

THE Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is keeping

its hopes that the Bang-samoro Basic Law will have a smooth journey from Malacañang to Con-gress.

In a statement, the MILF said its confidence on President aquino re-mains high that he will review the BBL, which has already been submit-ted to him, in the light of the letter and spirit of the Framework agreement on the Bangsamoro (FaB) and its four annexes, plus

the addendum on the Bangsamoro Waters.

”We don’t doubt the President will exercise his powers of review dili-gently, fairly, and fully con-scious that the BBL should and must address a prob-lem, the Moro Question, and put it to rest forever,” the MILF said.

”This is our conviction. In short, what we mean is that the BBL we envision is one that complies with the flexibility of the Con-stitution and, more impor-tantly, one that will lead to the resolution of this

question. Short of this, the road ahead is not easy to contemplate on,” the MILF said.

once approved by Congress, the BBL will be submitted to the people in the Bangsamoro core ter-ritory and will replace the current autonomous re-gion in Muslim Mindanao (arMM).

The government and the MILF signed the peace deal in March this year hoping to end the de-cades old Moro rebellion in southern Philippines. (Pna)

MILF remains hopeful draft BBLwill go to Congress smoothly

with ISIS.The armed Forces

of the Philippines (aFP), however, has dismissed ramos’ claim.

Duterte said if any-one from Davao City had indeed been recruited, “I would discourage them.”

The United nations (Un) has labeled ISIS as a terrorist organization. ISIS, which now calls itself simply Islamic State (IS), proclaimed itself a caliph-ate last June and claims

religious authority over Muslims all over the world.

The group is thought to have thousands of fighters, including many foreigners.

Meanwhile, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) issued a statement downplaying reports that the breakaway Bangsam-oro Islamic Freedom Fight-ers (BIFF) as well as the abu Sayyaf sent fighters to train and fight with ISIS.

”It was unlikely,” the MILF said in an editorial it

posted on its website.“For us, the threat is

not in the two groups’ join-ing the ISIS. Their number is too tiny to be felt and make a difference,” the MILF said.

“The threat really comes from the extremism espoused by the ISIS. Ideas are contagious and infec-tious. Wild ideas are attrac-tive to those who want ad-ventures and pre-occupied with hatred and revenge,” the editorial added.

In PDaF ruling, Escu-dero said the Supreme Court defined pork barrel as “post enactment inter-vention of a legislator.”

“Ibig sabihin po nito na kapag may badyet na inaprubahan and Kon-greso, hindi puedeng ma-kialam ang mambabatas (It means that once the budget is approved by Congress, the congress-men can no longer touch or change it),” he said.

Escudero also ex-plained the grassroot Participatory Budget-ing (gPB), which used to be called Bottoms-Up

Budgeting (BUB), which amounts to P22 billion in the 2015 budget.

The gPB covers proj-ects identified by local government units, in co-ordination with the civil society organizations and the non-government or-ganizations which are to be implemented by the LgUs.

“It is not pork barrel,” Escudero said, because first, it is not post enact-ment intervention, and second, they are proposed by mayors and governors who are not congressmen, they are not legislators.

The senator from Bi-col also bared that ap-proximately 16 percent, or P300 billion, of the P2.606-trillion budget, is

allotted for Mindanao.“all-in iyon ha, mean-

ing for agriculture, DTI, DoST, DPWH, lahat-lahat na yon, kasama na rin yong sueldo ng mga emp-leyado rito sa Mindanao,” he said.

Escudero said Min-danao gets the second biggest budget share in the pie, second to Luzon, while Visayas is lower.

“If you base it on pop-ulation, it’s more than fair because Visayas has a big-ger population than Min-danao,” he said.

“If you base it on area, Luzon would be bigger and Luzon would have more people too, so if you base on population and land area, it is proportion-al.” aMa

aroUnD 200 fami-lies in the coastal municipalities of

Kiamba and Maasim in Sarangani Province were displaced as flash floods ravaged several villages in the area on Monday afternoon.

Jerome Barranco, as-sistant regional director of the regional Disas-ter risk reduction and Management Council (rDrrMC) of region 12, said Tuesday residents situated in communities near two critical rivers and other tributaries in Kiamba ang Maasim were forced to evacu-ate after being swept by huge volumes of flood waters.

He said the waters of the area’s rivers swelled on Monday afternoon following hours of heavy rains spawned by the Low Pressure area af-fecting parts of the coun-try.

Citing a report from the Sarangani Provincial Disaster risk reduction and Management office (PDrrMo), he said most of the evacuees were from four villages of Kiamba that were affect-ed by the floods.

Barranco specifically cited Sitio Tual of Baran-gay Poblacion, Sito Kita-gas of Barangay Katubao, Barangay Lumuyon and Purok Masagana of Ba-rangay Badtasan.

He said an initial 15 houses were reported as totally damaged after be-ing swept by rampaging floodwater at the height of the flash floods along Tual and Lumuyon rivers as well as nearby tribu-taries.

“The rainfall volume measured at around 16 millimeters per hour, which was beyond the normal level,” he said.

rene Punzalan, Sa-rangani PDrrMo head,

said several schools in Kiamba town were forced to suspend their classes as a result of the floods.

He said the floods also damaged portions of the approaches of the Maglangit and Lumuyon bridges.

“We’re currently as-sessing the damages to these bridges to facili-tate the immediate inter-ventions,” he said.

Punzalan said the area has already been placed under the blue alert status in the wake of the floods.

Under the blue alert status, half of the per-sonnel of all regional and municipal disaster risk reduction management offices, the regional of-fices of civil defense and other concerned gov-ernment agencies in the would-be and affected areas should be at their posts. (Pna)

ENVIRONMENT

“WHErE have all our forests gone?” envi-

ronmentalists wonder.“our forests are being

denuded at the rate of 25 hectares per hour,” says rep. Mark Villar, Lone Dis-trict of Las Piñas City.

Jose Ma. Lorenzo Tan, a noted environmentalist and wildlife photographer, once wrote that forest cov-ered 70 percent of the Phil-ippines in the 1900s. By the mid-1960s, only 13.5 million hectares remained, of which barely 6.3 million hectares were considered primary forest.

During the adminis-tration of President Ferdi-nand Marcos, forests were decimated at an astonish-ing rate of 300,000 hect-ares per year. Towards the end of his regime, only 7.2 million hectares remained of the country’s forest cov-er, of which barely 2.7 mil-lion hectares were report-ed virgin forests.

To many experts, a country devoid of its for-est cover spells ecological disaster. In 2011, Typhoon Sendong brought 12 hours of continuous rain to Min-danao Island. Tragedy took place after that. The rivers flooded and people drowned or were crushed by logs. The government declared it “a national di-saster,” with the storm af-fecting 338,000 people in 13 provinces.

Sean McDonagh, a priest who worked in the area, said decades of defor-estation in Cagayan de oro City and nearby provinces was to blame for the scale

of the disaster. Much of the region was converted from rainforest into pineapple plantations.

“The deforestation was literally criminal,” he told The Universe Catholic Weekly. “If the rainforest in the area had been left intact, even 12 hours of continuous rain would not cause this devastation. The rainforest canopy would stop the torrential rain from hitting the ground directly. Trees would also absorb the water.”

“Deforestation is a symptom of a bigger problem,” says nicolo del Castillo, an architect by profession who teaches at the University of the Phil-ippines. “I probably sound baduy (tacky and outdat-ed) but I see the problem in the prevailing system of values, that is, the greed, the need to be the biggest, the wealthiest, and some-times you feel hopeless. I am an optimist, but pos-sibly there will be more tragedies and maybe then more people will wake up.”

according to environ-mentalists, logging opera-tions – legal and otherwise – are mowing down the country’s remaining for-ests. The rev. Peter Wal-pole, a Jesuit priest who heads an environmental group, said the Philippines “trusted” logging compa-nies to cut down trees and manage the forest. “But they did a very bad job,” he decried. “That started the problem that we have now.”

The Department of En-vironment and natural re-

sources (DEnr), the lead agency responsible for the country’s natural resourc-es and ecosystems, is vir-tually powerless against logging.

But logging compa-nies pass the blame on to kaingineros, slash-and-burn farmers who sup-posedly log without the restraint and responsibil-ity of big companies. a study done in the 1970s showed that when logging firms were banned from certain areas, these places were rapidly denuded by kaingineros.

other causes of defor-estation in the Philippines are forest fires, mining op-erations, geothermal ex-plorations, dam construc-tion and operation, and land development proj-ects such as construction of subdivision, industrial estates, and commercial sites.

Volcanic eruptions have also devastated some of the country’s forests. The country’s surging pop-ulation – now numbered to 100 million Filipinos – has also contributed to the problem.

as a consequence of the continuous removal of forest cover, the Phil-ippines now reels from different environmental woes. “Most of these were not seen in such intensi-ty and magnitude before our time,” pointed out roy C. alimoane, the director of the Davao-based Min-danao Baptist rural Life Center. “The signs cry out for immediate, nationwide attention.”

Soil erosion and silt-ation are the two most common problems asso-ciated with deforestation. “Soil erosion is an enemy to any nation – far worse than any outside enemy coming into a country and conquering it because it is an enemy you cannot see vividly,” said Harold r. Wat-son, an american mission-ary who received a ramon Magsaysay award for his work in Mindanao.

another problem: wa-ter crisis. once trees are cut, there is a significant reduction of the volume of groundwater available for domestic purposes. Take the case of Cebu, which is 99 percent dependent on groundwater. as it has zero forest cover, more than half of the towns and cities in Cebu have no access to po-table water.

Deforestation also

threatens the country’s natural wildlife. The Phil-ippine Eagle has become an endangered species because of the rapid dis-appearance of its natural habitat. “Deforestation is terrible,” said Dennis Sal-vador, the executive direc-tor of the Philippine Eagle Foundation.

Data from the DEnr’s Forest Management Bu-reau show that combined reforestation efforts by the government and the private sector are not enough to ar-rest the rapid deforestation. “although the national gov-ernment allocates funds for reforestation, projects have been largely dependent on foreign funding,” observed Marjorie Pamintuan, the spokesperson of Kalikasan People’s network for the Environment.

on September 26, 2014, people living in Mindanao

will try to break the guin-ness world record for most trees planted simultane-ously at multiple locations. The world record-break-ing attempt will mobilize 185,440 people who will give a shot at planting 4,636,000 trees at various sites covering a total area of 9,200 hectares within the island-region.

“We encourage every Mindanawon to participate in this endeavor, which will not only elevate the island-region as a guin-ness world record holder, but more importantly will also provide the constitu-ents the opportunity to be part of the larger efforts to reforest Mindanao,” said Luwalhati antonino, chair of Mindanao Development authority which co-orga-nized the endeavor along with some government agencies.

But playing Mork from Ork would have earned him his place in the annals of TV history even if he had never stepped foot on the small screen again. What was originally conceived as a freak plot point on Happy Days (an alien in Milwau-kee!) ended up spinning off into its own series after Wil-liams nailed the audition. “As genius as he was on-stage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imag-ine—supportive, protective,

loving,” Crystal continued. It’s very hard to talk about him in the past because he’s so present in all of our lives. For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy, but though some of the brightest stars are extinct now... “They float in the heav-ens, so far away form us now, their beautiful light will continue to shine on us for-ever...[and sometimes] you’ll think to yourselves, ‘Robin Williams, what a concept.’ The tribute to Williams followed this year’s in me-moriam segment, accompa-nied by Sara Bareilles sing-ing “Smile.”

The 66th Annual Emmy Awards were off to a roar-ing start Sunday night with Seth Meyers in as the host. Stars arrived at the Nokia Theater dressed to the nines in a bevy of couture cre-ations— from low-plunging necklines to elegant full skirts to absolutely every-thing in between. The night may have been about television honors, but Weird Al Yankovich’s musical theme song mash-up was definitely attention grabbing. The parody singer tried his hand at all of the popular series’ theme songs, taking a stab at Mad Men, Game of Thrones and several other shows. The In Memoriam, Billy Crystal stepped onstage alone to honor one of his nearest and dearest friends, the late Robin Williams. “He made us laugh big time,” the comedian re-called. “The brilliance was astounding, the relentless energy was thrilling.” He continued, “As genius as he was onstage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine. It’s very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in our lives…Robin Wil-liams, what a concept.” The show ended with Modern Family taking the top honors for Outstanding

Producers of all the big award shows have been rightfully wary since last year’s in-memoriam de-bacle, which featured five breakout tributes in addi-tion to the usual list of the year’s departed and reaped far more backlash than could have been predicted. But there was really zero chance that Williams wouldn’t receive a special tribute segment—nor has there been one iota of legiti-mate argument against the plan to do so. (Lurk around the depths of the Internet and you’ll probably find some, but you won’t find it here.) Though he didn’t do much scripted TV work be-tween his breakout work on Mork & Mindy and his return just last year as a star of CBS’ The Crazy Ones opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar, any appearance he made over the years was memorable, be it as a deranged engi-neer on Law & Order: Spe-

accents, table centerpieces or party décor. You can even make a flower wall backdrop for your candy table or dessert station. for weddings, you can make them into bouquets, flower crowns, corsages or boutonnieres. There are more than 100 types and techniques in making paper flowers. Through the years, since I was a child addicted to everything DIY and made of paper, I’ve learned a bunch of styles through pages of origami books --- starting from the very basic to the more elabo-rate blooms. Nowadays, one only has to tune in to Youtube for video tutorials to get the idea and technique planted in mind. as for me, I enjoy a classroom setup type of learning, especially when it comes to crafting. spe-

FOR THE PAST DAYS I’ve been posting photos of paper flowers on In-stagram, I got a cou-ple of requests from mommy - f r iends and little girls, ask-ing if I can also share with them some ba-sic guides or how-to’s. So I thought I’d take this chance by sharing what I know and show you some techniques and styles in making pa-per flowers. I hope kids and moms will have fun bonding over this DIY project at home. Soon, I’m sure you’ll be mak-ing more of these blooms for your “in-door garden”. Enjoy!

Origami Flower1. Prepare 5 squares.2. Take 1 and fold it into a triangle.3. Lift the 2 side corners and point them up to the tip of

the triangle. This will create a pleat on both sides. Just follow the line and fold accordingly.

4. Insert your finger inside each fold and slightly open it from the inside to make a squash fold. Press down and flatten.

5. Fold each triangular tip inward. 6. Fold the side corners into the middle. 7. Pull both sides together.8. Glue them together. The final petal will look like a cone.9. You need 5 pieces of this to make a flower. Just glue all

5 together.

Flower made from layered petals1. Draw and cut 3 whole petal flowers. Keep 1 piece in its

original shape. Cut off 1 and 2 petals accordingly from the 2 other flowers.

2. to 5. For those 2 other flowers, you need to put glue on the corner petal and let it ovelap with the adjacent petal to create some sort of “cup”.

3. to 9. Put together the layered flowers by gluing each in the middle, one on top of the other. You can add more layers if you want to add volume to your flower.

Flower made from layered petals1. Put together 6 layers of tissue / Japanese paper.2. Fold them like an accordion and cut and make a curve

cial classes or workshops make learning more fun and interactive, and you get support and help from classmates whenever you have difficulties in carry-ing out the technique. Just this weekend, I, together with fellow mommies, attended a workshop by april san Pedro of arti-san Design studio. There we learned how to make Peony, Carnation, anem-one, tulip and Camellia, plus methods in bleaching and dyeing papers to give them that gradient or two-toned effect. april shared with us her childhood frustration of having her own flower garden. she mentioned none of those she planted reached full bloom, despite the care and love she gave them. she soon realized this dream by creating blooms out of paper. simply put, if you can’t plant them, craft them.

recently in Beijing to work on plans to establish a string of boxing academies in the country. The idea is to help grow the sport in China and provide oppor-tunities for young people to take part.

Pacquiao acknowledg-es the vast potential of the nation’s athletes and is eager to play a part in the

development of boxing by opening world class train-ing centers with state of the art technology, provid-ing a top level platform for Chinese boxers to excel.

an institution has al-ready been opened in Hong Kong, and there plans for 16 more in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and guangzhou.

Pacquiao said that box-ing has the ability to bring people together, regard-

less of their nationality or background. He will come to China and teach at the academy to share his vast experience through first hand training of young pu-gilists.

Meantime, online news network rappler reported that Freddie roach has grown accustomed to Manny Pacquiao’s insatia-ble desire to conquer new horizons.

Since taking over head

trainer duties for the general Santos City, Phil-ippines native in 2001, roach has seen Pacquiao evolve from a comeback-ing former champion at 112 pounds to an eight division champion who has won a congressional seat in his home country, released a soft rock album, starred in several mov-ies and become the most recognizable face of his nation.

“Chris algieri fought an exceptional fight in June to win the world title from ruslan Provodnikov,” said Pacquiao. “I am impressed and intrigued by his scien-tific approach to training

and boxing. He may be the smartest and the fittest athlete I have ever faced and that makes him the most dangerous. I worked hard to reclaim my wel-terweight title and I will work harder to make sure I keep it on november 22. as always, I dedicate this fight to my fellow Filipinos around the world and to bring glory to the Philip-pines.”

Don Wark noval and Kierlene Ba-guio ruled the

north Face 7-K Mountain Trail Challenge over the weekend in a trail that lived up to its treacher-ous challenge in Ma-a Di-version road.

NOT SO FRIENDLY

bing at his hamstring during points, andy Murray gritted his way through head-to-toe cramps to win at the U.S. open.

Murray outlasted robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 in the first round Monday during an afternoon that was

hot but not partic-ularly humid.

He was m y s t i -

f i e d t h a t t h e

cramps came on so early — at the start of the third set after only about an hour and a half on court.

“When it starts to kind of go everywhere, you don’t know exact-ly where it’s going to creep up next,” he said. “When you stretch one muscle, something else then cramps, too.”

It started in the back of his left shoul-der, and then quickly spread to his forearm. The right-handed Mur-ray couldn’t toss the

ball high enough to get any pace on his serves.

Between points, he’d twist his body to awkwardly stretch his left side. after hitting a winner, he’d reach for his quad.

Murray was twice down a break in the fourth set, but the 70th-ranked Haase un-raveled with a string of unforced errors. He wasted three break points in the final game, when a missed call also cost him.

The eighth-seeded Murray had felt confi-dent in his conditioning after productive train-ing sessions in Miami, where he weathered far more heat and humid-ity than this. He won-dered if something was amiss in his nutrition.

“Cramping in my left forearm?” a bewildered Murray said. “I mean, I didn’t use my left fore-arm a whole lot today.”

Haase, also both-ered by some cramp-ing, said he didn’t eat and drink enough be-forehand because of an earlier-than-expected start — the first match on Louis armstrong Stadium lasted just 47 minutes. But Murray said dehydration didn’t seem to be his prob-lem.

Sharapova ousts friend KirilenkoMarIa Sharapova

found no room for sentiment on

Monday to give her old friend Maria Kirilenko a tennis lesson and roll to a 6-4 6-0 win and into the second round of the U.S. open.

returning to arthur ashe stadium for the first time in two years after she missed last year’s tournament with injury, a ruthless Sharapova made it crystal clear she was not going to let friendship stand in her way of a sec-ond title at Flushing Mead-ows.

She made an unsteady start to the year’s final grand slam falling behind 2-4 in the opening set, be-fore she switched into top gear storming through the next 10 games.

“We spent a lot of time in the juniors away from the courts practicing a lot together, compet-ing against each other,” Sharapova said of her long-standing rela-tionship with Kirilen-ko. “We certainly have a big history together.

“But when you

g o out on the court,

it’s always that fine line between; of course you want to be the winner, you have to face that person as a competitor, not someone that you’ve known for years and de-veloped a friendship with.

“It’s always a tricky bal-ance, I guess.”

The similarities be-tween the two russian right handers is striking.

Both are tall, though Sharapova still stands about six inches (15 cms) taller than Kirilenko, they are both 27 and made t h e i r p r o -f e s -

sional d e b u t s

w i t h i n months of

each other in 2001.

Their careers, however, have tak-

en vastly disparate paths.

Kirilenko has won six career titles while

Sharapova has won half that many already this sea-son including the French open.

With 32 titles Sharapo-va, a former-world number one and five-time grand

n e r h a s

banked over $30 million in prize money, Kirilenko $6.7 million.

after missing last year’s U.S. open, Sharapova revelled in her return, soaking up the atmosphere on the mas-sive arthur ashe centre court.

“It’s just full of energy,” the fifth seeded russian said. “They’re loud and passionate. you just feel the sports lovers are there.

“I think you feel the goosebumps when you

go out on a night match on ar-

thur ashe.”

While Sharapova’s slow start offered the brief-est moment of suspense, the form book offered not a hint of a possible upset.

In 44 previous grand slam appearances Shara-pova had lost in the first round only three times, two of those coming in her rookie season.

She has won 41 of her last 42 first round matches at slams; her solitary loss in that time coming at the 2010

austra-lian open

to Kirilenko.But there

would be no up-set on Monday for

Kirilenko, who has been hampered by knee and wrist injuries this year and won two matches in six tournaments.

“I thought there was a few times where I could have broken her in the be-ginning of the match,” said Sharapova, who will next meet romania’s alexandra Dulgheru.

The tight matches considerably would help out the Davao lawyers get their act together in clutch situations and develop their ability to close out games.

output in the previous outings.

adrian Paguican, who scored a combined 14 baskets in the second and third period, made only 2 points in the final can-to. gil Ciudadano had 12 points with eight of which came in the first half.
