Province of Bataan - 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.

Anything less than 100 percent just would not do for the Philippine Navy.

The fighting force on water delayed deployment of six newly repaired ships after getting less than perfect results from a weapons test-fire conducted in Bataan over the weekend.

Commander Hilarion Cesista, training and evaluations officer of the Fleet Operations Readiness Training Evaluations Group, said the exercise yielded a 98-percent level of readiness.

He said measures had to be taken to achieve 100-percent readiness before the vessels could be deployed.

The ships subjected to the weapons test-fire were the BRP Iloilo, BRP Tagbanua, BRP General Mariano Alvarez, BRP Liberato Picar, BRP Hilario Ruiz and BRP Filipino Flojo.

The onboard weapons that were tested included antiaircraft guns, 25mm naval guns and heavy machine guns.

The test-fire was conducted after the ships underwent system repairs at the naval shipyard in Sangley Point, Cavite City.

Held 15 nautical miles off Luzon Point in Mariveles, Bataan, the exercise had the vessels take turns firing off all their weapons at a floating target.

MARIVELES, Bataan — Following complaints from the public, Amado Villanueva, head of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) here is now closely monitoring developers and other companies operating in the province to prevent pollution and “stealing” of Bataan’s natural resources.

Villanueva said that they are now also coordinating with the management of various firms in the province to ensure that their operations are put in order to protect the public’s health and environment.

Aside from this, the PENRO is also now looking into reports that a number of contractors of housing and other projects have been engaged in hauling gravel and stones from the riverbanks for their business. This, Villanueva emphasized, is prohibited under the law.

“We are monitoring realty developers because of complaints we received that they are hauling gravel and stones from the river,” he said.

Board Member Gaudencio Ferrer recently denounced the alleged massive and illegal hauling of natural resources from rivers such as stones, boulders and gravels and sand by a number of housing developers and other contractors.
