Land conflict triggers warCOTABATO CITY – A clanwar erupted between Mororebels and villagers in NorthCotabato province insouthern Philippines lastweek and authorities sayland conflict triggered theviolence.

It said the clashes brokeout in Buricain village inPigcawayan town whererebels and followers ofAbdula Maracuar had beenfighting sporadicallyfollowing the killing of a 16-year old John Paul Maracuar.The teener was shot dead byrebels under the 105th Base

Command of the MoroIslamic Liberation Frontwhich signed a peace dealwith Manila last year.

Dozens of civilians havealready fled their homes forfear they would be caught inthe middle of the fighting.Both groups were fightingover control of ancestraldomain in the area with theprotagonists claimingownership over a vast tract ofland. It was unknown if therewere casualties in thefighting.

There was noimmediate statement from

the rebels, but the MILF hadbeen involved in similarclashes in the province andnearby areas.

In September, at least 5people were wounded whenMILF gunmen attackedcivilians in the village ofLutayan in Sultan Kudaratprovince that militaryofficials said stemmed froma land conflict between thetwo groups. Among thewounded in the attack werevillage officials.

Despite the peaceaccord, the MILF still holdsa huge arsenal of weapons

and thousands of itsmembers are also armed.In 2008, hundreds of MILFrebels attacked severaltowns in southernPhilippines after a Muslimhomeland deal with thegovernment failed.Gunmen went on ashooting rampage andpillaged villages in thetowns of Kolambugan,Bacolod, Maigo, Tubod andKauswagan as theyadvanced to other areas inLanao del Norte, Saranganiand Sultan Kudarat.

“Such projects areincluded in the 2014-2016ARMM InvestmentsPriorities Plan thatpromotes and supportseconomic activities forsustainable and cleansources of energy and tosecure power supply forthe future. About 23% oftotal investments from2012 to the present inARMM are into renewable

“We from the SuaraBangsamoro have been verycritical at the content of theBangsamoro Basic Lawbecause it falls short of theaspirations of theBangsamoro people’sstruggle for genuine right toself-determination. The BBLis limiting and counterposing this right with thePhilippine Constitution,”ani Lidasan. “BBLdisregarded the reasons whythe Moro people remainpoverty stricken, enduring abackward economy and itscommunities are in conflict.Instead of addressing theseissues, the BBL copied the

development paradigm andprograms as well as securitypolicies of the nationalgovernment, which in thepast have been thecomplaint of the Moropeople and were deemeddiscriminatory.”

ARMM Governor Hataman receives2015 Outstanding Governorship Award

COTABATO CITY –Autonomous Region inMuslim Mindanao (ARMM)Governor Mujiv Hataman,for the second time,received the OutstandingGovernorship Award thisyear during ceremonies heldrecently in Metro Manila.

Superbrands MarketingInternational Inc. (SMI)confers this award togovernors, mayors,dignitaries, local legislators,and congressmen inrecognition of theirachievements.

Other recipients of theaward this year are BulacanGovernor Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado, Ilocos NorteGovernor Maria ImeldaMarcos, Camarines SurGovernor Luis Villafuerte,Davao Oriental GovernorCorazon Malanyaon, andIsabela Governor FaustinoDy III.

“I am honored to be

named as one of outstandinggovernors in the country,”said Gov. Hataman who wasa recipient of the same awardin 2013. A governor is theprovince’s highest-rankingelected official, with dutiesmore varied than any electedmember of the district, party-list, or national legislature.

Superbrands cited Gov.Hataman as a Moro servantleader in contemporaryMindanao. He is the firstMoro to receive such award.Karl Maclean, chairman ofSMI, said the Hatamana d m i n i s t r a t i o n ’ sintroduction of reforms andgood governance hasallowed ARMM to maintainits relevance with respect tothe aspirations of the Moropeople.

“His (Hataman) policyof bringing the governmentcloser to the people and vice-versa is an impressive moveto make his constituents to

realize that governmentexists,” Maclean added.

Gov. Hataman hasworked hard to become atruly Moro leader. TheARMM saved millions ofgovernment funds when thegovernor launched acampaign against ghostprojects and workers in2012. This earned him themoniker ‘certified ghostbuster’ from PresidentBenigno Aquino III duringhis third State of the NationAddress in 2013.

The governor’sadministration anchored itsreform initiatives on threekey pillars, namely goodgovernance, peace andsecurity, and socio-economic development.“This award is for the peopleof ARMM who continuouslysupport the regionalgovernment,” Gov.Hataman said. (Bureau ofPublic Information)

Difference Between Muslims and ArabsOFTENTIMES, Muslim andArabs are being stereotypedas belonging to each other’sgroup. Many believe, to thisdate, that Muslims are Arabsand Arabs are Muslims.However, this is not alwaysthe case.

Muslims are individualsembracing the religionIslam, hence Muslims arepart of a religious sect. Arabson the other hand areindividuals that dwell or own

the Arabian or Arab regions.Thus, they form a specificinternationally knownnationality. They speak theArabic (Arabian) languageand can choose whateverfaith or religion they plan tofollow. On the other hand,Muslims can have nativetongues of almost anylanguage in the world.

Perhaps the reason whythe terms Arabs andMuslims get intertwined

frequently is the fact that theArab region is the cradle ofreligion. It is where mostreligions had begun tosprout, which includesChristianity and Islam; notto mention Mohammed(Islam’s prophet) to be ofArabian decent. Yet, it mustbe noted that an Arab citizencan be of any religious orderlike: Jewish, Islam andChristianity. Hence, thisgives birth to Christian

Arabs and Muslim Arabs. Inthe same manner,depending on yournationality you can still be adevotee of Islam. You can becalled an American Muslimor Arab Muslim, for thatinstance.

The Arabs livepredominantly within theMiddle Eastern nationsincluding Syria, SaudiArabia and Iraq while theMuslim congregation livesmostly in Asia (about 60%)while the rest are in theMiddle East, Africa andother parts in the world.

Lastly, recent worldheadcount estimates thatthe Muslim population hasgrown to as big as 1.5 billionworldwide in 2009 (almostone-fourth of the totalpopulation in the world)whereas the Arab peoplecan only sum up to severalmillions. Thus, it is safe toestablish the fact thatMuslims are ideally greaterin number than the Arabs.

Summary :1.Muslim is a type of

person who accepts theIslamic religion whereas anArab is a type of ethnicity ornationality.

2.Muslims can usemany different languagessince they can reside fromanywhere around the worldwhile the Arabs primarilyuse the Arabic language.

3.Arabs usuallyoriginate from the MiddleEast specifically from Iraq,Syria and Saudi Arabiawhereas Muslims can comefrom almost every corner inthe world mainly in Asia.

4.Muslims arepractically more in numberthan the Arab totalp o p u l a c e .(DifferenceBetween.net)

Arab or Muslim?MANY people from the Philippines have asked me tocomment on the latest 'under fire' news of the actorswho have worn Arab attires during a Halloween TVshow.

It seems that some Filipino Muslims believe thatwearing the Arab attire by Non Muslim actors wasdisrespectful to Islam and Muslims. So here is my say:

1. First of all, Muslims should have not watched thatshow in the first place smile emoticon - Halloween TVshow? Seriously?

2. This attire is not an Islamic dress code that Muslimmen MUST wear [unlike the Hijab and Niqab forwomen which does not know cultures or regions],however the white Thowb, red scarf and black ring areattire known for Saudi men and it is NOT an Islamicrequirement for Muslim men to wear at all. In fact,sometimes I am wondering why Non Arab Muslims arewearing it!

So if anyone should get offended, it should be theSaudis and not the Filipino Muslims. [Unless theconversation during the show was offensive anddisrespectful to Islam]

3. Don't we have a "World Hijab Day" where someMuslims themselves will be asking Non Muslim ladiesto try on the Muslim dress code? Why this seems to bedifferent? Why this seems to be Ok for the Muslims?

4. Don't we have more serious problems in theregion that we should be talking about right now insteadof wasting away our energy protesting about an Arabattire? For example - - Drugs, Pornography, Tribalism,Racism, Manners, WakingUpForFajr, Zina, and so on...

5. My Filipino brothers and sisters in Islam. Calmdown, ignore the whole issue and seize the opportunityof this Halloween occasion to introduce Islam to thepublic in the best possible manner.

May Allah guide us all. Ameen. (ByWael Ibrahim.The author is an Islamic speaker, Founder andChairman of Serving Islam Team in Hong Kong.Professional trainer and a certified Master Life Coach,BA Islamic Studies. http://www.servingislamteam.com)

“I think these guys arecommon thugs, there’snothing Islamist about it,”Abuza said. Abu Sayyaf’srecent pledge of allegianceto ISIL was nothing morethan an attempt to gaininternational mediaattention and “raise theante,” he said.

Abuza further said thathe believes Abu Sayyaf hasbeen watching ISIL videosin order to mimic them.“They’ve been online,they’ve seen things, they’vestepped up their game,” hesaid.

Driven by horrific memories, Yazidis prepare to reclaim their homes from ISIS

Jamil Jato shows photos of family members who were murderedby ISIS. (CNN Photo)

ON AN abandoned chickenfarm, a few dozen Yazidivolunteers in mismatcheduniforms go through theirdrills. They are training for anoffensive they have longdreamed of: to reclaim thetown of Sinjar, their homeuntil ISIS stormed in.

The world watched inhorror last year as some50,000 Yazidis scrambled upMount Sinjar in northernIraq to escape the ISISonslaught. Many morehundreds were massacred,while teenage girls andwomen were sold intoslavery.

The volunteers at thecamp have horrific stories totell -- of their escape, themonthslong battles with ISISthat followed, the relativesthey lost or who are stillmissing. So do the manyYazidi families still campingon the mountain.

Some 5,000 Yazidifighters have been mobilizedunder the command of theKurdish Peshmerga to takethe battle to ISIS. Most arefarmers; a very few havemilitary experience.

'W'W'W'W'We withstood a hugee withstood a hugee withstood a hugee withstood a hugee withstood a hugeenemy'enemy'enemy'enemy'enemy'

The commander of thefront-line position at thevillage of Hardan is 66-yearold Kheiru Khalaf, whosetired eyes hint at the constantbattles of the last year.

"We need internationalsupport, we need heavyweaponry, especially now,"he said.

"We stood against ISISwith nothing but machineguns. We withstood a hugeenemy and stood strong. Weneed your help."

In the skies above theircamp, there's the quiet humof U.S. F-16s at high altitudeas they look for targets inSinjar and nearby Tal Afar --and try to destroy ISISpositions before thetreacherous groundoffensive begins.

A few hundred metersaway is a village still held byISIS. The Yazidis' front line isfrequently hit by mortar fire.The day after we visited thecamp, two vehicle suicideattacks were launchedagainst it. Both vehicles weredestroyed before theyreached the Yazidis'positions.

Around the camp thetunnels and fortificationsthat ISIS built are still visible.So are reminders of theatrocities it committed here.

Just behind the frontlines, the disturbed earth isdotted with remnants ofclothing, even part of a scalp.It was here, according to theYazidis, that 150 women andchildren were murdered anddumped into a mass grave.Some were months old;some were 80.

A few roses flutter in thebreeze under the blueautumn sky; but otherwisean eerie silence hangs overthe site.

For the fighters at thisposition, the site of themassacre feeds their loathingfor ISIS and their impatienceto advance. But they knowthe way ahead will be bloody.Peshmerga commandersestimate some 300 ISISfighters are still inside Sinjarand likely plan to die there.They also believe they willencounter hundreds oflandmines and booby traps.

SSSSStrtrtrtrtrategic locationategic locationategic locationategic locationategic locationSinjar is an important

prize in the battle againstISIS because it sits on themain highway between thecity of Mosul -- ISIS' crownjewel -- and its territory inSyria. Cut this route and ISISwould find it much moredifficult to resupply Mosul.The "caliphate" wouldalmost be split in two.

The Yazidi fighters havea small collection of antiquerockets; we are shown onemade in Yugoslavia in 1957.But they do have some

foreign helpers. One is calledMike, a bearded Englishmanin his 50s who once served inthe French Foreign Legion.Another is Michael Ibrahimfrom California, a muscularformer soldier who served inIraq with the U.S. Army'sFirst Infantry Division.

He felt impelled bymedia coverage of theYazidis' plight to come tonorthern Iraq.

"They're facing a grimreality of a well-supplied,well-armed, well-trainedenemy and they're doingtheir best," Ibrahim toldCNN.

"These people arefighting to save families andto keep their homeland froma really great evil. And it reallyhit home to me, it really hitthe heart and I had to come

out," he said.The wide plain that

straddles the Iraqi-Syrianborder is dotted withdestroyed buildings. Somewere the homes of Yazidis --blown up by ISIS or struck bythe mortars and Katyusharockets it rained down on thequiet farming villages duringits lightning advance in thesummer of 2014. Others wereISIS command posts struckfrom the air when Kurdishforces retook this area lastDecember. On the roadsidenear Hardan sits the rustinghulk of a Humvee -- given tothe Iraqi Army by the UnitedStates, seized by ISIS andthen bombed by the U.S. AirForce.

The one village that ISISdid not capture here is Sharafal-Din. Today, Yazidis arereturning here -- homes arebeing repaired andelectricity has been restored.But for four months, a coupleof dozen fighters with AK-47sheld off wave after wave ofISIS attacks, including asuicide bombing by aChechen. They had little toeat, could only contact eachother by shouting, and had toclimb into the mountains toretrieve the occasionalairdrop of weapons andammunition from the Kurds.

Asked how they resistedfor so long, Khalaf gestures tothe Yazidis' holiest shrine,which sits on the hill behindthe village. A gleamingconical building, it stands on

a site that's the gravesite ofthe religion's founder. Therehas been a shrine at the sitesince 1274.

"It was God's will. Daeshwanted to destroy ourtemple," he says, using theArabic acronym for ISIS. Butthe temple, and Khalaf,survived the onslaught.

In the nearby village ofSnuny, a man named Nuritold us that if ISIS hadsucceeded in seizing thevillage and destroying thetemple, it would have beenas though they had taken allof Sinjar. "It would have beenlike Israel taking control ofthe Kaaba," the holiest shrinein Islam, he said. "It's thebirthplace of our religion."OOOOOn barrn barrn barrn barrn barren mountaintopen mountaintopen mountaintopen mountaintopen mountaintop,,,,,

As the Yazidi menprepare to retake Sinjar,hundreds of women andchildren endure on thebarren, windsweptmountain above, crammedinto tents with nothing buttarpaulins to keep out therain. Among them is BuhaSabri, a slight 30-year-oldsurrounded by her ninedaughters.

"The mountain is socold. You can see, there isnothing up here," she toldCNN. She worries that eventhough her children escapedISIS, the winter cold mayclaim them.

Buha has other worries

as well. Her sister and twoteenage nieces were seizedby ISIS. She has no ideawhere they are and praysthey are still alive and notsomewhere in the ruins ofSinjar. Other Yazidi familiesrelate tales of thebrainwashing of theirchildren in ISIS captivity.

"We really want to gohome to Sinjar. The thoughtof going home makes ushappy, but more importantto us are our girls," Sabri said,cradling the youngest of herchildren.

"Where are they? Willthey take them even furtheraway? Will they be caught inthe fighting?"

Throughout thecenturies, the Yazidis havebeen persecuted by onegroup after another.

"Seventy-five times wehave been massacred,"Khalaf said. "Once we were48 million people. Now thereare 1 million of us."

On the front lines atHardan, as we prepared toleave, one of the Yazidifighters began reciting apoem -- half-verse and half-song. Soon he had a chorus.

The verses spoke of losthonor, slaughtered wivesand sisters. Empty homes leftbehind.

A reminder of what's atstake for a people driven tothe verge of extinction intheir homeland. (NimaElbagir and Tim Lister, CNN)

HEALTH: Tamang Pagligo Para Kuminis Ang BalatPayo ni Dr. Willie T. Ong

AYON kay Dr. Katty Go,isang dermatologist saManila Doc-torsHospital, may tamangparaan ng pagligo.Sundin natin ito.

1. Huwag lalampas sa7 minuto sa shower. Angagos ng tubig aynakatutuyo ng balat.Pagmasdan mo angiyong kamay kapagmatagal ng nakababad satubig. Kumukulubothindi ba?

2. Magkuskos lang ngbahagya. Alam konggusto natin magingmalinis. Pero kung hindinaman tayo ganoonkadumi sa maghapon,huwag nang magkuskosng mala-kas. Hindi rinpinapayo ni Dra. Katty Goang pag-gamit ng hilod olufa. Kapag sobra angp a g k u k u s k o s ,matatanggal ang oil (omoisture) nanagpapakinis sa atingbalat.

3. Maglagay ng lotiono bath oil agadpagkatapos maligo. Ayonkay Dra. Katty Go, ito angp i n a k a m a g a n d a n gpanahon ng paglagay nglotion o bath oil (mabibiliito sa supermarkets)dahil nakabukas pa angating mga pores sa balat.Lagyan ng lotion angmga dry na parte ngkatawan tulad ng siko,kamay, paa, tuhod, taingaat batok. Kungnalalagkitan ka sa lotion,subukan ang bath oil.

4. Kung masyadong

Dr. Willie T. Ong

dry ang iyong balat,maglagay ng pangalawangpahid ng lotion. Sa unangpahid ay na-a-absorb nang ating balat ang lotion.Kaya puwede mo panglagyan pa ng isang pahidng lotion.

5. Sa pagpili ng lotionat sabon, umiwas lang samga may matatapang napabango, na puwedengmagdulot ng allergy.Maganda ang tulad ngIvory soap (walangpabango) at Dove soap (namay oil). Kung gumagamitkayo ng Dove soap,mapapansin ninyo na maynatitirang oil sa iyong balatkapag ika’y nagbabanlawna. Ayon kay Dra. Go,huwag mo nang pilitingalisin itong oil dahilnakatutulong ito sapagpapalambot ng iyongbalat.

6. Tandaan: Huwaggumamit ng sabonpanlaba para sa iyongkamay o katawan.Matapang ito at nakasisirang kutis.

7 . P a g k a t a p o s

maghilamos ng mukha,puwedeng gumamit nglotion para sa mukha.Lagyan ng lotion angilalim ng mata paramabawasan angwrinkles sa eye bags.

8. Okay lang kunggusto ninyong maligo ngmalamig o mainit natubig. Para sa akin, masgusto ko angmaligamgam na tubig.

9. Sa pag-shampoong buhok, siguraduhingbasang-basa ang iyongbuhok bago ito lagyan ngshampoo. Huwaggamitin ang sabonbilang pang-shampoo,Hindi ito angkop (maliang Ph) para sa buhok.Kung may balakubak,gumamit ng mga anti-dandruff shampoo.Dapat mo lang iwan ng 5minuto ang shampoo saiyong buhok at anit paramabawasan angdandruff.

10. Puwede kanggumamit ng astringenttulad ng Eskinol paralinisin ang iyong mukhang mga 2 beses kadalinggo. Dahil maysangkap itong alcohol,natatanggal nito angmga dumi na hindi kayatanggalin ng sabon.Ngunit, paminsan-minsan lang ito gamitindahil nakaka-dry ito ngbalat. Mag-lotionpagkatapos.

Tandaan ang aming10 tips para gumandaang iyong kutis. Goodluck po!

TECH TIPS: How to stop Android appsrunning in the background

THE HUNT is on forbackground apps. Butbefore we go on an appmassacre, let's rememberthat many apps run in thebackground for goodreason: they are syncing,providing location data orotherwise doing what theywere designed to do. Butnot always. If you want toknow which apps arerunning excessivebackground processes oryou want to stop apps fromrunning in the backgroundentirely, then we'll showyou how.

to know which apps arerunning backgroundprocesses and how powerhungry they are, both interms of processing powerand impact on battery,Android has thesemonitoring options builtin.

- Enable DeveloperOptions by going toSettings > About Deviceand tapping the Buildnumber until you arenotified that DeveloperOptions have beenenabled.

- Go to Settings >Developer options >Process stats to see howmuch of the time your keyapps are running. Tap anyapp to see how much RAMit's using.

- Next, go to Settings >Battery then tap theindividual apps to see howmuch battery they'reusing.

As a general, youshould leave most apps/services starting with theword 'Google' running. SoDON'T STOP THEFOLLOWING APPS (reallyessential services won't letyou force stop themanyway):

- Google Search,Google Play services,Google Contacts Sync,Google Keyboard, GooglePlay Store

In the Process stats list,you should have a prettygood idea of which appsyou want to leave runningin the background simplyby knowing how much youuse them.

If you have an app thatyou think is using anunreasonable amount ofprocessor power or seemsto be running in thebackground way more thanit should, then you caneither:

- Disable it in your AppManager by going toSettings > Applications >Application manager,tapping the app, thentapping Disable.

- Since the Lollipopupdate, you can closerecent apps easily bytapping the Recent Appsnavigation button on yourphone (to the right of thehome button), thenswiping left or right to close

- Or Force Stop it bygoing to Settings >Applications > Applicationmanager, swiping right tothe Running tab, tappingthe app, then tapping ForceStop

Remember, if you haveno clue what an app orservice is, then youprobably shouldn't stop it,unless it's using up a lot ofRAM or battery, and youdon't mind risking yourphone crashing.

hibernation app, lettingyou put apps to sleep whenyou're not using them. It'sbasically an automatedversion of force closing ordisabling apps every timeyou stop using them andthen turning them back onwhen you need them. Butdoing that manually is apain. Hence Greenify is oneof the best appmanagement apps around.

To get the full benefitsof Greenify you need rootaccess, and we have guideson how to root your Nexus5, HTC One M8 and GalaxyS5, among other phones.Just search for them atAndroidPIT.

It said details of these fund releases and projects arenow available on the DBM website - www.dbm.gov.ph .The data on the website shows the list of fund releasesdisaggregated per year and per implementing agency andanother list of fund releases disaggregated per year and perimplementing agency with details, such as SpecialAllotment Release Order, purpose, and fund source.

“The DBM communicates honestly and openly at alltimes regarding the fund releases we make pertaining toprograms and projects of the government. Here are the factson how much public funds we have released for Yolandaprojects so far and where we sourced them in the budgetfor the years 2013, 2014 and 2015,” said Budget SecretaryFlorencio Abad.

Abad said these fund releases were charged againstvarious funding sources in the General Appropriations Actfor fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015.

“The scale of the damage is unprecedented. And giventhat it was unforeseen, the total amount needed for thereconstruction efforts is not something that can beaccommodated within the Calamity Fund. So we neededto find various funding sources within the budget,” saidAbad, adding that the government moved to implementvarious measures to source funds for Yolanda response.

These measures include: extending the validity of the2013 Budget to June 2014 via Joint Resolution No. 1; passingthe Supplemental Budget in 2013 and allocating P14.6billion in Calamity and Quick Response Funds to rebuildareas hit by Yolanda and other disasters; passing theSupplemental Budget in 2014 and allocating P10 billion foremergency shelters and permanent housing.

And introducing the Reconstruction andRehabilitation Program, with a total of P21 billion in 2014and 2015, for rebuilding efforts; doubling the CalamityFund, from P7.5 billion in 2013 to P13 billion in 2014 and toP14 billion in 2015; introducing the so-called "Build BackBetter" policy not only to restore normalcy for Yolanda-affected communities but also make them more resilientto disasters; and leveraging the use of excess revenues tofund rehabilitation activities.

Abad also said that a total of P46 billion is allocated forYolanda projects in the proposed 2016 budget. This amount,he said, is composed of P18.9 in Special Purpose Funds andP27.3 billion lodged in agency budgets.

The amount of P18.9 billion is for the YolandaRehabilitation and Reconstruction Program, the masterplan to build back better infrastructure, livelihood support,resettlement, and social services. This amount is part ofthe P38.9-billion National Disaster Risk ReductionManagement Fund, a Special Purpose Fund in the 2016budget.

In addition to the P18.9-billion YRRP, the amount ofP25.6 billion was lodged in the budget of the NationalHousing Authority for the construction of housing units forYolanda victims. Meanwhile, the amount of P992 millionwas lodged in the budget of the Local Water UtilitiesAdministration and the amount of P660 million was lodgedin the budget of the National Electrification Administrationfor the installation of water and power lines in Yolanda-hitcommunities and resettlement sites.

THE DEPARTMENT ofSocial Welfare andDevelopment in CentralVisayas has clarified thatthe “Listahanan” stickerdoes not have monetaryvalue.

DSWD RegionalDirector MerceditaJabagat said theyreceived reports in Cebuthat people are expectedto be given cash worthP40,000 to P70,000 oncethey have the Listahanansticker.

“The sticker is proofthat the household isalready assessed byDSWD which is the solepurpose of the sticker. Wewould like to request thepublic not toimmediately believe anykind of stories and to stopmaking stories whichcould cause confusionamong communityresidents,” Jabagat said.

“Even if thehousehold was alreadyassessed, it does notmean that it willautomatically become abeneficiary of anygovernment program,”

she added.All collected

information from thehousehold will go througha process using a scientificmethod called ProxyMeans Test or PMT – astatistical model thatestimates the income ofhousehold based on thevariables included in thefamily assessment form.

“We use the PMTbecause we want toidentify the poor in themost objective, systematicand transparent manner,”Jabagat said.

Households withestimated incomes that areequal to and above thelatest provincial povertythresholds will beconsidered non-poor andthose with estimatedincomes falling below thepoverty thresholds will beconsidered poor.

“Once the householdis identified as poor, theywill become potentialbeneficiaries for varioussocial protectionprograms of thegovernment like thePantawid Pamilyang

Pilipino Program.However, their inclusionin the programs stilldepends on the programsqualifications or criteria,”Jabagat said.

Aside from beingidentified as poor fromListahanan, a PantawidPamilya progam partnerbeneficiary must havechildren aged 0-18 or havea pregnant family memberat the time of theassessment and must bewilling and able to complywith the conditionalitiesof the program as part oftheir co-responsibilities.

It was the secondquarter of this year thatDSWD conducted theListahanan secondhousehold assessment,according to DSWDListahanan InformationOfficer Kerwin Macopia.

Macopia said DSWDdeployed enumerators inthe field to gather socio-economic information toobjectively identify whoand where the poor areand after the household isassessed, the enumeratorwill then post the proof ofassessment sticker. ( JujuM. Empuerto)
