Sorsogon, Philippines – A police patrol car saved an undermanned town police station in Sorsogon from being overrun by communist rebels who have been intensifying the attacks in province in the past few days.
MANILA, Philippines — The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has stepped up its program dubbed “Gusto Kong Mag-Aral” (I want to study)” after it turned over to residents of a remote barangay in Bicol province a two-classroom school building constructed by soldiers.


Supt. Wilson Asueta, spokesman of the Bicol regional police, said the attack resulted in the wounding of two policemen of the Barcelona Police Station but said the wounds were just minor, as a result of the maneuvering against the attacking 30 rebels.
Pandan village in Castilla town in Sorsogon province was the latest recipient of the AFP's “Gusto Kong Mag-Aral” project.


“It was actually that patrol car which protected the personnel, the rebels also found it difficult to enter the police station because of that patrol car since it was parked near the main gate,” said Asueta in a phone interview.
The Department of Education (DepEd) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) thru the National Development Support Command (NADESCOM) together with the local government unit of Castilla town and Sorsogon province and ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya, joined in an effort to address the problem particularly in Sorsogon.


Asueta said the rebels immediately launched a volley of gunfire as soon as they arrived near the main gate of the police station at 11:15 p.m.
Maj. Emmanuel Garcia, the AFP-Nadescom public affairs officer, said “Gusto kong Mag-aral” involves a series of projects consisting of construction of classrooms in differentparts of the country and partnering with different organizations and individuals to provide better quality education to marginalized communities.


Although outnumbered, Asueta said the local police immediately scampered to defend the police station, with the direction of the town police chief.
Garcia said that the project was hatched when the groundbreaking and construction of the twoclassroom building was started last April 14, 2011 in Barangay Yunot, Bulalacao, Oriental Mindoro and its subsequent turn-over on July 19.


“The policemen on duty that night was supposed to be 15 but there were only eight inside when the attack occurred, that includes the chief of police,” said Asueta.
“Several school buildings are now being constructed under this partnership in Barangay Salvacion, Albuera, Leyte; Barangay Dicamay, San Mariano, Isabela; Barangay Pangi, Maco, Compostela Valley; Barangay San Jose, Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte; Barangay Cabangcalan, Aroroy, Masbate; Barangay Calingatnan, Borongan, Eastern Samar; and Pinukpuk Central, Pinukpuk Kalinga province. Three more will be started in the coming weeks,” said Garcia.


The gun battle lasted for almost one hour, afterwhich, the rebels finally gave up and fled.
Barangay Pandan is one of the 34 villages of Castilla, a 3rd class municipality and the hometown of Gen. Eduardo SL Oban Jr., the current Armed Forces Chief of Staff.
 
The inadequate number of classrooms, according to teachers, was the main reason why they cannot accept more students. The two-classroom school building will now allow the school to accept students up to the 4th year next school year.
 
“With the additional classrooms, teachers said they we will be able to open the 4th year class which will benefit at least 300 students from Pandan and five other barangays who walk several kilometers to go to the school in Barangay Dinapa where there are school rooms to accommodate them,” said Garcia.
 
During the turnover ceremony, parents of school children in the barangay said the new classrooms will help lessen the cost of travel of their children who are forced to enroll at another village, Barangay Dinapa due to the lack of rooms in Pandan.
 
As this developed, the Office of the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) headed by Secretary Imelda Nicolas promised the people of Pandan that additional help will be provided by the Commission for Filipinos Overseas for another school building next year, according to the Nadescom PAO.
 
“The construction of the school building itself is a product of the cooperation of the people of the barangay and soldiers from the 903rd Infantry Brigade, the 9th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army and the local populace who provided unskilled labor while skilled labor was provided by 565th Engineer Construction Battalion of the 51st Engineer Brigade of the Army,” said Garcia.
 
Donations and many add-ons like books, blackboards, chairs, tables, cabinets and other school materials poured in from different partner organizations such as the Commission on Filipino Overseas, Technological Education , Department of Trade and Industry, Philippine Information Agency, Department of Tourism, Department of Agriculture, and from individual donors.
 
“The school building coupled with add-ons was completed with only P1.05 million total cost which is way below the P1.4 million standard cost of a project with the same quality and dimensions; without the add-ons,” Garcia

Dietary supplement is a product that contains vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and/or other ingredients intended to supplement the diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has special labeling requirements for dietary supplements and treats them as foods, not drugs.



Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. That means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of DSHEA and FDA regulations.

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.

Soldiers help build village school

by ELENA L. ABEN


MANILA, Philippines — The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has stepped up its program dubbed “Gusto Kong Mag-Aral” (I want to study)” after it turned over to residents of a remote barangay in Bicol province a two-classroom school building constructed by soldiers.

Pandan village in Castilla town in Sorsogon province was the latest recipient of the AFP's “Gusto Kong Mag-Aral” project.

The Department of Education (DepEd) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) thru the National Development Support Command (NADESCOM) together with the local government unit of Castilla town and Sorsogon province and ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya, joined in an effort to address the problem particularly in Sorsogon.

“Several school buildings are now being constructed under this partnership in Barangay Salvacion, Albuera, Leyte; Barangay Dicamay, San Mariano, Isabela; Barangay Pangi, Maco, Compostela Valley; Barangay San Jose, Sto.
