MANILA, Philippines -- The former mayor of a municipality in Sultan Kudarat was sentenced to six years in jail and ordered to pay a fine of P5,000 for alleged lying and falsifying his statement in an official document.


The Sandiganbayan First division, in a decision promulgated last week, found Fernando Platone, ex-mayor of Esperanza in Sultan Kudarat guilty of violation of Falsification by a Public Officer under Article 171 (4) of the Revised Penal Code.
TACURONG CITY (MindaNews/28 October) —  Sultan Kudarat is holding the 1st Region 12 Coffee Congress to discuss ways to improve production and increase investments in the industry, a Department of Trade and Industry official said on Friday.
 
Nelly Nita Dillera, DTI-Sultan Kudarat director, said the congress on November 17 to 19 at the provincial capitol in nearby Isulan town also seeks to strengthen the hold of Sultan Kudarat as the “Coffee Capital of the Philippines.”
The 54-page decision penned by Associate Justice Rafael Lagos and concurred by Associate Justices Rodolfo Ponferrada and Efren N. Dela Cruz, division chairman, said the "prosecution has proven beyond reasonable doubt that accused Platone stated a false date and condition of the pieces of equipment in the Certificate of Acceptance.''
“Sultan Kudarat is currently the country’s biggest producer of coffee,” Dillera said, citing a report from the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics that pegged the province’s coffee production at 23% of the national total.
 
In terms of Arabica, Sultan Kudarat remains the number one producer contributing 52% to the national total, trailed way behind Davao del Sur’s  7%, Iloilo and Sulu at 5% each and South Cotabato’s  4%, she said.
The case aroused from the issuance of a Certificate of Acceptance by Platone, certifying the delivery of six units of heavy equipment to the municipality, and that these were received by him without defects.
Sultan Kudarat is also the number one producer of Robusta with about 18% of the Philippines’ total, followed closely by Compostela Valley’s 15%, Cavite’s 10%, Bukidnon’s  7% and Kalinga Apayao’s  5%, Dillera said.
 
But Sultan Kudarat’s yield is not as high as that of Cavite. Average yield in a hectare of coffee plantation in Sultan Kudarat is only 400 kg while Cavite’s is one ton per hectare.
But field investigators found out that the certificate contained false date and information, which were in violation of the law.
This is one major reason for the conduct of the congress, the organizers said, citing the need to rejuvenate or rehabilitate the existing coffee farms.
 
The congress shall also tackle ways to improve agricultural and cultural practices, coffee quality profile, coffee for climate change, market requirements, coffee processing, and coffee shop business.
In the certificate, Platone said the heavy equipment were all in “good running and operating conditions” when it was delivered to him on December 29, 1999. His issuance of the certificate then triggered the release of a Land Bank loan and effected payment to Albert Surplus Parts Supply.
Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala is expected to grace the opening program, as the agency has included coffee as a priority high value crop.
 
The DTI provincial office has set a sales target of P2 million for the market matching; P5 million for new investments; and improvement of productivity by 80% in the next three years.
Prosecution, however, argued that the dump trucks were delivered in February 2000 and not in December 1999, which the ex-mayor had stated in the certificate.
The country is both an exporter and importer of coffee. In 2009, the Philippines exported coffee to Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United States of Amercia. However, it was also importing more coffee along with EU, USA, Japan, Canada and Switzerland.
 
The domestic demand for coffee is currently pegged at 65,000 million while the country only supplies 30,000 MT, posting a deficit of 35,000 MT and filled by importation, Dillera said. (Bong Sarmiento/MindaNews)
The prosecution contended that Platone narrated untruthful facts in the certificate, which serves as a public record, and uses public funds.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

MANILA – Kaya Iloilo pipped Mendiola with a 6-0 beating on Wednesday night to complete a sweep of Group B action in the Copa Paulino Alcantara at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

A Jovin Bedic brace in the first half set the tone for the inaugural tournament champ even as the club netted three goals in each of the two halves to seal the top seed in its group ahead of the semifinals next week.

Bedic capitalized on an erroneous Mendiola attempt to keep the ball out of his reach and quickly raced inside the penalty box to open the scoring for Kaya Iloilo in the 11th minute.
