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.

Sibugay solon bats for strict tax collection workshop

by Paulnazer Lontua


ZAMBOANGA SIBUGAY, Aug.28 (PIA) -- “To increase collection of tax revenues provincial government should strictly implement and religiously follow provincial tax revenue codes and all businesses should also declare income taxes accordingly and honestly”. 2nd District Board Member, Datu Wilborne S. Danda, said in an interview recently after the Regular Session of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) Members at the Provincial Capitol. According to Danda, he already proposed an ordinance entitled “Ordinance Regulating the Extraction Fee Rates of Sand and Gravel and Mountain Quarry Resources in the Province”. The ordinance, Danda continued, will somehow help increase the tax revenues of Sibugay to generate funds for project implementation. “This ordinance can make Sibugay increase its revenues collections over the previous years. More taxes means more projects and more improvements for the province”, Danda explained. The ordinance states that pursuant to the Local Government Code of 1991, under Sec. 138, “Tax on Sand, Gravel and other Quarry Resources- the province may levy and collect not more than ten percent (10%) of Fair Market Value in the locality per cubic meter of ordinary stones, sand, gravel, earth and other quarry resources as defined under the National Internal Revenue Code, as amended, extracted from public lands or from beds of seas, lakes, rivers, streams, creeks and other public waters within its territorial justification. The permit to extract sand, gravel and other quarry resources shall be issued exclusively by the Provincial Governor pursuant to the ordinance of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP). A sum of P35.00 per cubic meter for extracting, gathering and collecting gravel sourced from rivers will be implemented, P30.00 for sand P25.00 for mixed sand and gravel and boulders from the mountain quarry. Danda pointed out that any moves by the local and provincial officials to improve and upgrade the Provincial Tax Ordinance will just be wasted if the implementation and collection is too light and lenient. He added that he prompted to act on the tax collection issue when he discovered that the collection of the province on tax is P165-M every year while Ipil, the capital municipality, collected more or less P60-M on its revenue collection alone. All data, according to Danda, are certified by the Commission on Audit (COA). “This is very alarming because if we compare the collection of the whole province of Sibugay to the collection of Ipil alone, we can see that the disparity of the figures is just very minimal thinking that it’s the whole province being compared to a municipality only. So somebody should act on this kind of situation before it’s too late”, added Danda. The proposed ordinance is also inspired by the agenda of Sibugay Provincial Governor Rommel A. Jalosjos in his speech during the 1st State of the Nation Address (SOPA) of the Governor mandating the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources (PENRO) to adhere to the mandates specifically on the upgrading and increasing the province’s tax revenues from quarry resources. Danda hopes that the ordinance will be approved and agreed upon by the SP body as soon as possible. (NBE PIA9/JL Zamboanga Sibugay)




Sibugay COP’s undergo disciplinary authority workshop

by Paulnazer Lontua


ZAMBOANGA SIBUGAY, Aug. 27 (PIA) –- Sixteen (16) Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief of Police (COP) and other Provincial Investigation and Detective Management and Administrative Officers of the province of Zamboanga Sibugay attended the Seminar-Workshop on COPs Disciplinary Authority conducted by the Internal Affairs Services from Region IX recently at the Sandigan Hall of the Provincial Police Headquarters here. PSupt. Geraldo Benjamin Avengoza, Assistant Provincial Director for Administration (APDA) of Zamboanga Sibugay Police Provincial Office, said the workshop aims to train these 16 municipal COPs to handle conflicts and problems with their men with disciplinary authority in their level. Avengoza added that it is the first time in PNP Sibugay to have a workshop of this kind. “The basic goal of this seminar is to simply give enough knowledge and skills to our COPs in Zamboanga Sibugay to handle situations which involved implementing disciplinary authority on their men. I believe that this is the first time here,” said Avengoza. It was learned that most of the problems within the PNP-COP level are brought to the Regional Internal Affairs Services (RIAS) office where cases pile up since more pressing matters are prioritized over it. The situation prompted the RIAS to conduct the workshop to capacitate municipal police stations to quickly resolve PNP conflicts within their level. “RIAS decided to train these COPs in handling disciplinary authority among their men so that cases would no longer reach higher offices because the latter have a lot of things to prioritize. Such that, municipal police station conflicts and problems should be settled by municipal COPs to lessen the burden of the RIAS”, added Avengoza. During the morning session of the workshop, PSupt Edwin B. Saagundo from RIAS discussed the issues on PNP Admin Disciplinary Authority, Admin Appellate bodies and Admin Offenses and Penalties. In the afternoon, RIAS Legal Officer, Atty. Russel Ebillo, did a detailed discussion on Admin Due Process. Disciplinary actions which could be sanctioned by COPs to erring PNPs are 15 days suspension, forfeiture of salary and restriction to specified limits depending on the weight of the violation committed by a police officer. Zamboanga Sibugay PNP Provincial Director, PSSupt. Ruben D. Cariaga, Sr., and RIAS Acting Regional Director, PSSupt. Sonny T. Cunanan, also graced the seminar-workshop.
