Province of Misamis Occidental - Archived News

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:

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.
The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

BALIANGAO, Misamis Occidental– A Liquid Quick Freeze (LQF) machine worth P 4.65 million had been turned-over by the National Agribusiness Corp. (Nabcor), to the local government unit (LGU), here, yesterday, Aug. 8.

This brings to seven (7), the total number of LGU’s, in region 10, that has received the facility. The other six (6) are: Sapang Dalaga and Sinacaban also in Mis. Occ., Sultan Naga Dimaporo (SND) and Tubod, in Lanao Norte, Balingasag in Mis. Oriental, and Mambajao in Camiguin.

Established through a counter-parting scheme, the machine was provided by Nabcor, an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture (DA), while the shed, single phase line, water system and manpower for the initial operation of the machine is shouldered by the LGU at an estimated cost of Php500,000.

Ma. Jayd-da Mayoralgo, Nabcor Vice-President, said the LQF uses a revolutionary method of freezing through the use of a super conductive liquid that can instantly freeze agri-fishery products due to its very low temperature, preserving its flavor and freshness.

She said aside from its freezing capability, the LQF can also make ice blocks which can benefit not only the fishing industry but other business establishments like restaurants.

“It is envisioned that the LQF will be treated as a business enterprise and when put into maximum use will trigger the development of the agri-fishery industry in the area and contribute to the economic development of the locality,” Mayoralgo added.

Set up in Barangay Mitacas, Baliangao town, the LQF machine has been considered a new milestone for the agri- fishery industry of this coastal area in the province with its vast marine resources. Meanwhile, Regional Director Visa Dimerin of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), region 10, said they are in full support to the town’s endeavor by encouraging the locality to engage in projects supportive of developing fishery production.

Present during the LQF turn over and blessing were: Mayor Svetlana P. Jaloslos, Vice-Mayor Agapito E. Yap III, Sangguniang Bayan members, and Municipal Agriculturist Jude Bueno, local fisherfolk.

Also present were Provincial Agricultural Officer Jose Satorre, Nabcor Area Manager Samuel Simbajon and Ma. Tita B. Rodriquez, Head, Presidential Management Staff in the region.

POLICE arrested three alleged members of a robbery group in Barangay Bankal, Lapu-Lapu City yesterday morning.

Nelson, Harold and Eldie were caught by operatives of the Provincial Intelligence Branch, led by Senior Insp. Mark Sucalit.

Their arrest came after a suspected drug pusher was caught in a buy-bust in Bogo City last Wednesday.

Last names withheld

Cebu Provincial Police Office Acting Director Patrocinio Comendador asked reporters to withhold the family names of the suspects, who are in their mid-20s, because they are still conducting follow-up operations.

He said he received reports the suspects, who hail from Zamboanga del Sur, belong to an Ozamiz robbery group.

They are also not discounting the possibility the three men are guns-for-hire, he said.

Comendador said they caught the suspects after they served an arrest warrant against their companion, who has a murder case.

Two .45 pistols with 12 bullets, a .38 revolver with five bullets, a hand grenade, four sachets of shabu and drug paraphernalia were allegedly recovered from them.

Nelson denied they are robbers and paid killers. He said he and his cou-sin Harold are jeep-ney conductors.

More denial

“Binuang na nga esturya (The accusations are not true),” he said.

Eldie, for his part, said he has been a construction worker for four years.

Nelson said the .45 pistol was given to them by a friend. However, he denied they owned the other guns, grenade and the sachets of shabu.

Comendador said they are coordinating with the Mandaue City Police Office because the suspects might be involved in the death of businessman Antonio Ouano. He said the group’s hideout is in northern Cebu.

The police searched the rooms of Labida's house and found small rolls of foils with small packs of white substance believed to be shabu, hidden under the bed of the third room. The subjected residence is having three rooms.

The raiding team found a bag almost filled with used foils right at the counter where shabu trading is being made.

Officer's wife to NPA: Please release my husband

OZAMIZ CITY, Philippines -- The wife of a jail officer abducted by New People’s Army (NPA) guerrillas last July in Bukidnon has appealed for the release of her husband “for the sake of our daughters.”

“Our two daughters have been asking why their father has not yet returned home,” said an emotional Carylle Bajuyo, wife of Jail Officer 1 Rolando Bajuyo assigned at a Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) facility here.

Their two children, aged four and seven, knew that Bajuyo was going away on July 20 to escort eight sentenced prisoners to be jailed at the Davao Penal Colony, Carylle said.

But early the following morning, over a hundred communist guerrillas blocked the team in Kitaotao, Bukidnon and rescued a comrade, Dennis Rodenas, whom the rebels claimed was “unjustly” convicted by a Misamis Occidental court on trumped-up charges.

As the rebels escaped, they took away 13 firearms and for human shields Bajuyo, Jail Inspectors Murphy Todyog and Eric Llamasares, and Senior Jail Officer 2 Rogelio Begontes.

“I trust that the NPA understands they are not combatants,” Carylle appealed.

Their seven-year old daughter seems to already know that her father is in the custody of the rebels; she has had fever for the past several days, possibly from the anxiety brought about by the situation, Carylle said.

“She is very close to him. He puts her to sleep every night,” the mother said.

The BJMP regional office has assured the families of the jail officers that it has been negotiating for the safe and speedy release of the captives, although nothing much seems to have moved forward, added Carylle.

“We assure their families and loved ones that they are in good health and are treated well by the NPA and the revolutionary mass base,” said a July 30 statement of Rigoberto F. Sanchez of the NPA’s Merardo Arce Command in southern Mindanao.

“Their basic rights are respected and their well-being ensured,” Sanchez added.

The rebels justified the continuing captivity of the BJMP personnel for supposedly “performing police work in the reactionary state's prisons which serve as a vital cog in the (government’s) counterrevolutionary war.”

“There is no question that the four are armed, active and regular officers of the armed counterrevolutionary and coercive apparatus of the reactionary government,” said Sanchez.

The rebels have demanded a halt to existing pursuit operations so that negotiations for the release of the four captives can be pursued.

A big number of poor farmers and fisherfolk already benefited from the government’s rice subsidy program (RSP) in the five provinces of Northern Mindanao.

Benefiting from the RSP are the provinces of Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Camiguin, and Bukidnon.

The RSP concept is the Cash for Training and Cash for Work (CFT/CFW) program of the national government intended for the poorest of the poor villages in the countryside, especially those in far-flung communities.

The RSP through a four-day Cash for Training, and a seven-day Cash for Work program is also a short-term intervention to provide temporary employment to small-scale farmers and fisherfolk particularly to families who are distressed/displaced or needing assistance during the lean season by participating in or undertaking preparedness, mitigation, relief, rehabilitation or risk reduction projects and activities in their communities or in evacuation centers.

The program is being implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) with the support of the respective local government units (LGUs).
