Aquino orders a study, roadmap on Sabah

By Ruel B. FranciscoTuesday 19th of March 2013


CORREGIDOR ISLAND, Cavite, March 19 (PIA) -- President Aquino has ordered the

departments of Foreign Affairs and Justice including the office of Executive Secretary to

conduct a study and recommend a roadmap for the peaceful resolution of the Sabah issue.

The President made the remarks in his speech yesterday, March 18 during the


11/27

commemoration of the 45th Anniversary of Jabidah Massacre.

Inatasan ko na po ang DFA, DOJ, at ang ating Executive Secretary upang magsaliksik at

magmungkahi ng isang roadmap tungo sa mapayapang resolusyon ng isyu ng Sabah, the

President said.

The issue of the ownership of Sabah according to the President was somewhat a continuat

of the incident of the Jabidah. President Aquino stated that to resolve the issue, it should

start not on speculation, opinion or assumption but in identifying the truth including athorough examination of the written records on the Sabah issue; one direction the Presiden

assured is not the use force or violence.

Prior to his speech, the President led the groundbreaking of the Mindanao Garden of Peace

the tailside portion of the island with the theme, Learning from History, Uniting for People

The President also led other officials to the Jabidah Marker for the Hands for Peace where h

placed his hand print on the Hands for Peace Wall.

The Jabidah Massacre refers to the massacre of a number of young Moros recruited by the

military from Sulu and Tawi-Tawi during the Marcos governance. These young Moros were

shipped to Corregidor to train as a commando force. From there, they were sent to Sabah t

create chaos and destabilization.

When the young Moros knew the real intent of their mission dubbed Operation Merdeka,

they demanded to be returned home but instead their military handlers prevented them an

killed them instead. A lone survivor identified as Jibin Arula recounted the events about the

massacre and the rest is history. (RF-PIA 4A, Cavite)

1. DSWD Calabarzon, brings 'anti-epal' campaign to Laguna

By Carlo P. GonzagaTuesday 19th of March 2013

CALAMBA CITY, Laguna, Mar. 19 (PIA) -- The Department of Social Welfare and Developmen

(DSWD) Calabarzon held a press conference recently for Laguna media on their anti-epalcampaign with the slogan Maki-alam, magsumbong, Bawal ang Epal.

Epal is a Filipino term to describe people who are attention grabbers, scene-stealers or

simply getting recognition which they do not deserve.

Held at the talakayan room of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Region 4A, DSWDs

campaign aims to make clear to the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Progra

(4Ps) that no one can remove them from the list of 4Ps beneficiaries.

This is in reference to politicians or trying to be politicians who are epal enough to threaten4P bneficiaries that they will be stricken off the list if they do not vote for them.

According to the DSWD, the beneficiaries of the 4Ps were chosen through the National

Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) and validated to make sure

that indigent and deserving families were covered.

It is the DSWD only who has the authority to de-list beneficiaries on the grounds they faile

to comply with the conditions set under the 4Ps, Flor Gunio, assistant regional director of

DSWD 4A said during the presscon.

Under the 4Ps, a family-beneficiary is provided with monthly subsidy of P500 for health

needs and P300 per month for educational assistance to up to three children below 14 yea

old provided they comply with set of conditions.

The conditions are once a month pre and post-natal care, preventive health check-ups,

attendance to family development sessions. The subsidy for education requires 85 percent

school attendance.

In closing, Gunio appealed to the media to help them in their campaign against epal

politicians. (CPG/RMB-PIA 4A)

bigyang pugay ang pamumuno ng mga kababaihan gayundin ang mga nagawnito upang mas mapalakas pang lalo ang ginagampanan nitong papel salipunan.

Ayon naman kay Rica Arevalo, isang kilalang award-winning na direktor, isang

paraan upang madinig ang mga boses ng kababaihan at maipakita angpagkakapantay pantay nito sa mga kalalakihan ay ang paggawa ng mgapelikulang binibigyang-diin ang importanteng papel o gampanin ng isangbabae.

15/27

mamamayan ang pag-iingat at maiwasan ang anumang problemang maaaringmaidulot nito.

Ilan sa mga ito ay ang pagsasagawa ng information education campaign tuladng pre-employment orientation seminar sa mga posibleng naghahanap ngtrabaho, anti-illegal recruitment-trafficiking in persons education campaignseminars para sa mga law enforcement groups at prosecutors, capabilityenhancement trainings para sa non-government organizations, lokal na

Mas mahigpit na din ang mga kailangang dokumentopara sa renewal o pag-iisyu ng lisensya sa mga recruitment agencies gayundi

ang masmataas na parusang ipapataw sa mga ahensyang lalabag dito.

Dagdag pa ni Naval na ilan sa mga karaniwang dahilan ng pagiging biktima ngilegal na recruiter ay ang hangarin ng mga Pilipino ng masmalaking kita dahilsa pag-aakalang walang nakalaang trabaho sa kanila dito sa bansa. May ilannamang ang dahilan ay sa kagustuhan ng mabilisang pag-angat ngpamumuhay kung kaya't pumapayag magtrabaho sa ibang bansa nang walansapat na proteksyon bilang manggagawa.

Aniya, dapat ay siguruhin muna ng mga aplikante na ang mga recruitmentagencies na kanilang pag-aaplayan ay legal at may karampatang job ordermula sa bansang nangangailangan ng manggagawa.

Sa kabuuan may 192 bansa ang kasalukuyang may mga Pilipinongnagtatrabaho kung kaya't hinihikayat ng POEA ang lahat na siguruhin nacompliant ang mga bansang pupuntahan upang masiguro na ang mga ito aymay sapat na batas na magbibigay proteksyon sa kapakanan ng mgamanggagawa. (CPG/MPDC-PIA 4A)

Government to impose stopgap measure to resolve Mindanao power shortage

NAGA CITY) The Department of Energy (DOE) will be presenting an immediate solution to the Mindanao power problem torelieve businesses from frequent power outages, President Benigno S. Aquino III said on Thursday.

It was reported that Mindanao businessmen have called on the President to use his emergency power to solve the powercrisis in the region, which may affect trade as well as the upcoming elections in May.

The Chief Executive noted that the DOE made an assurance that major dams will have enough supply of water to ensure ththeres electricity particularly during the elections.

The problem in the hydroelectric system is siltation because of river waste in addition to illegal logging that destroys the

regions watershed, thus affecting the ability to generate electricity.

According to the President, the immediate solution will probably be diesel-powered generators, adding that diesel-poweredplants of barges could be assembled immediately.

May kailangan ng aksyon from Congressjoint resolution, I understand, to authorize us to purchase. Under EPIRA [ElectriPower Industry Reform Act of 2001], hindi na kasi puwedeng bumili ng generating capacity ulit ang gobyerno, he explained

But once that is done, it will serve as a stopgap measure of the government, he added.

The President cited two schemes, he explained. One is either government buys it, or we will be renting from those that havethe generating capacity to remedy power shortages in Mindanao, he said.

The government could also opt to cease using electricity from diesel-powered plants because of the high cost of electricity.Private companies will start generating cheaper power by 2014 and 2015 and diesel-powered generators will be towed tomissionary areas or Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG) areas, the President said.

He pointed out that the government is also imposing penalties and fines on those overdrawing beyond their stated use limitshe said.

For instance, the President said that Zamboanga City, located at the end of the grid, is getting less power because other arecloser to the grid are getting too much energy.

President Benigno S. Aquino III's Speech during the 108th Commencement Exercises of the Philippine MilitaryAcademy (PMA) "Pudang-Kalis" Class of 2013PMA Parade grounds, Fort Del Pilar, Baguio City

17 March 2013

Brigade Commander Cadet 1st Class Ibarde, please give the troops Tikas Pahinga. Maupo ho tayo lahat.

Vice President Jejomar Binay; Secretary Voltaire Gazmin; the Chief-of-Staff General Emmanuel Bautista; Superintendent Lt

Gen. Ireneo Espino; His Excellency Jorge Domecq, Ambassador of Spain; Mayor Mauricio Domogan; Representative Berna

Vergara; our service commanders: Lt. Gen. Lauro Catalino Dela Cruz of the Air Force, the FOIC Vice Admiral Jose Luis Ala

Commanding General Philippine Army, Lt. Gen. Noel Coballes; the foreign Armed Forces attaches present; officials, men an

women of the Armed Forces; administration, faculty and staff of the PMA; PMA Pudang-Kalis Class of 2013; proud parents

and family of the graduates; fellow workers in government; honoured guests; mga minamahal ko pong kababayan: Maganda

umaga po sa inyong lahat.

Hindi ko maiwasan itanong kanina sa ating Secretary of National Defense kung ginagaya po niyo yung kanyang disposisyon

dahil sa lahat ng graduation ko pong naabot, kayo lang ang nag graduate na parang naka tiger look lahat. Parang masama

loob niyo nag graduate, palagay ko ano lang, professional lang kayo.

Taunang tradisyon na po ng mga Pangulo ang pagharap sa mga kadete dito sa Fort del Pilar, upang salubungin at ipagpuga

ang mga magtatapos sa Philippine Military Academy. Ikatlong beses na pong ibinibigay sa akin ang karangalang ito, at ako

naman po ay hindi rin magsasawang makasalamuha kayohindi lamang bilang inyong Commander-in-Chief, kung hindi pa

na rin upang personal na masaksihan ang isang tagumpay ng kolektibong naabot ng sambayanang Pilipino.

Nasasabi ko ito, dahil hindi bat ang inyong pagmartsa sa entablado kanina ay sagisag ng pag-aambagan ng kalakhang

lipunan tungo sa pag-abot ng inyong mga adhikain? Totoo namang kayo ang dumaan sa mga pagsusulit, kayo ang gumisin

ng madaling-araw para sa physical training, at balikat ninyo ang pumasan ng napakaraming sakripisyo para umabot tayo sa

puntong ito; hindi matatawaran ang aking paghanga sa mga dinaanan niyo. Ngunit isipin din po ninyo: Bago kayo makatapo

ng high school at matanggap bilang plebo dito sa PMA, dumaan din sa sakripisyo ang inyong mga pamilya upang makapag-

aral kayo, at patuloy ang kanilang suporta hanggang sa puntong ito. Nagpuyat din ang mga guro at tagapayo ninyo upangsiguruhing may makabuluhan silang maituturo sa inyo. Nakipasan ang buong sambayanan sa pagpapatayo at pagpapalaka

ng institusyon ng Philippine Military Academy, at magpapatuloy pa ang kanilang kontribusyon sa kahabaan ng inyong mga

karera bilang myembro ng Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas.

Halimbawa na nga mismo itong mga sapalarang dinaanan ng Valedictorian ninyong si Jestony Lanaja. Hindi marangya ang

buhay na kanyang kinalakhan. Hindi na nakatapak ng kolehiyo ang isa niyang kapatid na lalaki, at isa namang kapatid na

babae ay hindi maipatingin ang kapansanan sa ospital. Ngunit sa pagtitipon ng tuba, nairaos ng kanyang ama si Jestony

hanggang maging kadete siya dito sa PMA; at ngayon, hawak na niya ang Presidential Saber na sagisag ng dangal at

responsibilidad na dala ng pagiging class valedictorian.

Success story din, halimbawa, si Prolen Bonacua, na hindi pa man nadedestino bilang kawal, ay sumabak na sa laban at

dinaig ang Hodgkins lymphoma. Ngayon, magtatapos siya bilang ikatlo sa inyong klase. Tiyak kong kapantay, kung hindi m

higit pa, sa karangalan at tuwang nararamdaman niya ngayon ang saya ng kanyang amang machinist at sa kanyang inang

trabahador sa pabrikana pareho ring kumayod upang siguruhing hindi mag-isang haharap sa cancer si Prolen, at may

pagkakataong bubukas para sa kanilang anak, dulot ng mabuting edukasyon.

Hindi po nagkukulang sa kuwento ng sapalaran at tagumpay ang Pudang-Kalis Class of 2013: mula kay Maryam Balais naSalutatorian ninyo at napilayan pa ng kamay sa training, hanggang kina Cadets Aragona, Gonzales, Landicho, at iba pa

ninyong mga kaibigang naging crew pa ng Jollibee bago pumasok dito sa PMAlahat po kayo ay benepisyaryo hindi laman

ng sariling pagsisikap, kundi ng pag-aambagan ng inyong kapwa.

Kaya nga ang hamon sa inyo ngayon: Naway ang pananagutan at pakikiambag na ipinamalas ng mga tumulong sa inyo, ay

manganak ng malalim ding pananagutan sa inyong mga pusot isipan, upang kayo naman ang maglaan ng pagod at panaho

para sa inyong kapwa. Kolektibong narating ng sambayanan ang tagumpay ninyong ito; umaasa akong sa kolektibo rin ang

tuon ng bawat kilos ninyodahil di nga bat ang lahat ng problema ay nagmumula sa pag-iisip ng pansariling interes lamang

Tingnan na lang po natin, halimbawa, ang sitwasyon sa Sabah. Naisip kaya ng mga pasimuno nito na napakaraming apekta

sa paggawa ng gulo? Nariyan ang mga tinatayang walongdaang libong Pilipinong naninirahan at naghahanapbuhay nang

tahimik sa Sabah; paano kung bigla silang pauwiin ng ating kapitbahay na kaytagal na panahon ang binuno natin paramagbalik ang tiwala? Alam naman natin kung gaano kasalimuot ang usapang ito: May Punong Ministro ba ng Malaysia na

basta-bastang papayag na bitawan na lang ang lugar na kaytagal nang nasa ilalim ng kanilang mga batas? May Pangulo ba

Pilipinas na basta-basta rin lang ding bibitaw sa isusulong na pagmamay-ari nito?

Kayo nga po ang lumagay sa lugar ko: lehitimo man o hindi ang hinaing ng mga nagtungo roon, paano ito titimbangin sa har

ng buhay at kabuhayang malalagay sa peligro kung magsimula ang hidwaan? Alam naman po natin, ang bawat aksyon ay

may kaakibat na reaksyon, at may mga problemang hindi puwedeng daanin sa kalburomga problemang manganganak la

din ng iba pang problema kung ipipilit gamitin ang dahas o pangangahas. Ang kailangan: masinsin at tapat na pagsusuri at

usapan, upang mahinog ang tamang solusyon.

Naisip kaya ito ng mga promotor ng pangangahas habang nag-uudyok silat nanggagatonghabang itinatalaksan nila ang

limpak-limpak na salaping kailangan upang umupa ng lantsa, bumili ng gasolina, ng pagkaing babaunin, ng mga baril at mg

bala? Inaral ninyo iyan sa mga klase ninyo sa Logistics; alam ninyo ang paghahandang kailangan upang itawid ang

dalawandaang katao sa dagat, at ang armasan ang ilan sa kanila. Ano po kaya ang tumakbo sa isip ng mga nasa likod ng

insidenteng ito?

Ang malinaw: Sino man ang may pakana, ang inisip nila ay ang pansariling interes lamang, habang ipinapain ang kapakana

ng kanilang kapwa. At maniwala man po tayong nais lamang talagang manindigan ng mga nagtungo roondi bat mas

produktibo kung ang paninindigan ay dadaanin sa matinong usapan, at kung itoy isusunod sa batas at sa malinaw na

patakaran?

Tingnan po natin bilang halimbawa ang situwasyon sa West Philippine Sea. Di bat gaya nang sa Sabah, paninindigang

nakatuntong sa isang rules-based approach, at nakatuon sa mapayapang resolusyon, ang ating isinusulong sa Bajo deMasinloc? Kung dadaanin ito sa pagka-maton at pangangahas, lolobo lang ang problema, at malamang ay maipamana lang

din ito sa susunod na salinlahi.

Nakita na nga rin natin sa mga positibong bunga ng pakikipag-usap sa mga kapwa natin Pilipinong nais isulong ang

Bangsamoro: Mas epektibo, mas produktibo, at mas kapaki-pakinabang para sa lahat ang taos-pusong diyalogo, kaysa

pagtutok ng armas sa isat isa. Ang hinahon at katuwiran ay hindi katumbas ng kaduwaganbagkus, ito ang sukat ng tunay

tapang at paninindigan, dahil sa ganitong paraan, naisasaalang-alang ang kapakanan hindi lamang ng mga nasa kasalukuy


23/27

kundi lalo na ng mga darating pa sa kinabukasan.

Iyan mismo ang sangandaang kakaharapin ninyo bilang mga kawal. Magpapadala ka ba sa init ng ulo, o haharap ka ba sa

mga hamon nang kalmado? Dadaanin mo ba sa shortcut ang trabaho, o iisipin mo ba ang magiging epekto ng iyong mga ki

at desisyon sa mga susunod sa iyo? Ipapasa mo lang ba sa susunod na mesa ang mga problemang lalapag sa harap mo, o

ibubuhos mo ba ang buong lakas, buong sikap, buong Pusot Dangal ng mga Kawal ng Lahing Nagkakaisa upang

masolusyonan ito, at hindi na ipamana sa susunod na salinlahi ng Pilipino?

Bilang susunod na mga pinuno ng ating unipormadong hanay, malaki ang responsibilidad na iaatang sa inyong mga balikat.

bilang medyo nakakatanda sa inyo, marahil ito na ang maiiwan kong aral: Sa tuwing haharap kayo sa isang sangandaan,ilagay lamang ninyo ang sarili sa lugar ng mga pinaka-agrabyado, ng mga pinakaaapi, ng mga pinakadukha, ng mga pinaka

naghahanap ng lingapat tiyak, lilinaw kung ano ang tama at kung ano ang mali. Silang mga nasa laylayan ng lipunan, sila

mga Boss nating taumbayan, sila ang magkukumpas ng ating direksyon; bastat kapakanan nila ang nasa isip natin, tiyak na

hindi tayo maliligaw.

Alam po ninyo, tatapatin ko kayo, hindi po nakakabata ang pagiging Pangulo ng Pilipinas. May mga nagsasabi ngang

kailangan ko nang magbakasyon, dahil nahalata na raw ang lalim ng aking eyebags at lalo na raw yatang numinipis ang aki

buhok. Kaya ako poy natutuwa pag punta sa PMA dahil mas long hair ako sa inyo. May bahagi po ng kalooban kong

sumasang-ayon sa kanilangunit mas malaki pa rin ang bahaging nagsasabing anim na taon lang ang mayroon ako sa

puwesto, anim na taon para maglatag ng mga pagbabagong kay tagal na nating minimithi. Halos nasa kalahati na po tayo n

ating termino, at sa harap ng mga tagumpay na isa-isa na nating pinipitas, lalo lamang po akong nabubuhayan ng loob.

Kayat gaya nga ng inyong mga forced march: Kahit gaano kabigat ang aking dala, bastat kaya ko pang itulak ang kanang

paa, at sundan ito ng kaliwalalo na kung alam kung nasa likod ko kayo at ang buong bayang Pilipinong handang makiamb

sa ikabubuti ng ating lipunantuloy-tuloy lang tayo sa katuparan ng atin pong mga pangarap.

Tulad ng nasabi ko nga sa mga nauna sa inyo: Tapos na ang pagsasanay, tapos na ang teorya, tapos na ang apat na taong

bakasyon ninyo dito sa Fort Del Pilar; panahon na para sa tunay na pakikipagsapalaran.

Humayo kayo at ipakitang hindi nagkamali ang ating nagkakaisang bansa sa paghirang sa inyo bilang kasapi ng Pudang-Ka

Class of 2013 ng Philippine Military Academy.

Maraming salamat. Magandang araw sa inyong lahat.

DBM gives thumbs-up to PBB releases; Abad: P832-M in funds already distributed for merit-based bonuses

Sec. Abad: P832M in funds already distributed for merit-based bonuses

The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) announced that P831.8 million in funds have already been made availato several departments and agencies, state colleges and universities (SUCs), and government-owned or controlledcorporations (GOCCs) for the distribution of the Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) to their respective employees.

We commend all departments, agencies, and GOCCs that successfully complied with their requirements, and whoseemployees were among the first to receive their PBB. Since the Administration launched the merit-based bonus scheme inDecember 2012, the DBM has been receiving and processing submissions from departments and agencies as efficiently aspossible, in line with the PBBs goal of rewarding excellent work among our government employees, Secretary of Budget anManagement Florencio B. Abad said.

Of the total amount, P806.1 million has already been authorized for release by the Governance Commission for GOCCs(GCG), with 26 GOCCs given the go signal for releasing the PBBs of 15,415 eligible officials and employees. These will besourced from the GOCCs own corporate funds.

Another P25.7 million has also been rolled out to five agencies and three SUCs for the merit-based incentives of 2,780 officiand employees.

The DBM also confirmed that the Department of Health (DOH) and the Laguna State Polytechnic College have alreadycomplied with all their requirements, and their releases are being processed by DBM. DOH is the first major governmentagency to have fully complied with the PBB requirements, with 25,307 employees eligible for the PBB.

I enjoin other agencies and departments to complete their submissions to the DBM. This will allow us to facilitate the quickrelease of their PBBs, and ultimately, ensure that their employees receive the bonuses due them, said Abad.

The PBB is one of the components of the Administrations Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS), an incentive prograthat recognizes and rewards exemplary performance in government. It aims to improve the delivery of goods and services toFilipinos, as well as institute a culture of excellence in public service across the bureaucracy.

Under the PBIS, qualified agencies that submitted all compliance reports on time will be assessed, provided that they meet a

least 90 percent of their targets for the year. Agencies are also required to fulfill all the good governance conditions set by thInter-Agency Task Force on the Harmonization of the National Government Performance Monitoring, Information andReporting Systems, or the A.O. 25 Task Force.

Through the PBB, employees ranked as Best in a best-performing bureau stand to receive as much as P35,000, whileunderperformersthose who were unable to meet at least 90 percent of their individual targets, or employees in a poorlyranked bureauwill not be eligible for PBB.

In releasing the PBB, the DBM emphasized the need for qualified departments and agencies to establish grievancemechanisms that will allow them to respond to employees feedback.

Because the PBB is a new initiative, we have much to learn on implementing it with greater efficiency. Part of this fine-tuninprocess is the establishment of grievance mechanisms within agencies, specifically to give employees the chance to provide

honest feedback on the execution of the program.

All in all, we shouldnt lose sight of the reason why were implementing PBB at all: to institute a culture of exemplary publicservice in the Philippine bureaucracy, so that Filipinos can expect increased transparency, accountability, and openness in tdelivery of public goods and services, Abad said.
