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:
  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.

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.

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.

Rice subsidy

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).
