Sun.Star covers live Cesafi semis as UV eyes perfect 7 today

CEBU CITY — A well-rested University of the Visayas (UV) and Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu will start their bids to nab a finals seat as the semifinal round of the 2012 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) basketball tournament starts today, Tuesday, at the Cebu Coliseum.
Sun.Star, at www.sunstar.com.ph, will bring you the action live as it happens on the hard court starting at 5 p.m. with the Magis Eagles, who have been denied the Cesafi high school title for two years in a row, playing against the no. 5 finishers and former champions Cebu Eastern College (CEC) Dragons.

Also watch the UV Green Lancers, as they start their bid against defending champions University of Cebu Webmasters in the main game at 6:15 p.m.
UV, which topped the elimination round, is carrying an unblemished 6-0 win-loss slate from the elimination, which includes a win over the Webmasters, 86-80, last August 23, and is highly favored to win this match.
The Lancers waylaid the unsuspecting Royal Mandaya Hotel, the champion of the Kadayawan Basketball title in Davao City, in an exhibition game last September 1. Royal Mandaya is manned by former PBA players.
However, with the way the Webmasters are improving in each game, the Lancers are expecting a tough challenge.
In their elimination round victory, the Lancers needed the late-game heroics of Emmanuel Calo before securing the victory.
Tactics
Coach Donbel Belano is expecting his 6’8” Cameroonian center Steve Cedrick Akomo to dominate the game along with his prized rookie Wowie Escocio and the all-around Jerome Silva.
UC, on the other hand, has nothing to lose in this match.
Quinton Brian Heruela is again expected to lead the Webmasters as Coach Roehl Gomez has been utilizing the brawny point guard in all positions, even fielding him as center.
The Dragons, meanwhile, are expected to deliver what was lacking when they first met the Eagles last Aug. 10, where the Eagles pulled a 71-61 victory.
After surviving a grueling quarterfinal match against no. 4 University of San Carlos, the Dragons’ confidence has been boosted and they will shoot for an early lead in the high school division.
The semifinal is a single-round-robin affair with the top two teams advancing to the best-of-five championship series.
The bottom two teams, however, will vie for the number three spot in a best-of-three contest.
Live stream coverage
Aside from Tuesday’s games, Sun.Star will also cover live other semi-final Cesafi matches, including the matchup between the UV Baby Lancers and the Cebu Institute of Technology-University (CIT-U) Wildkittens in the high school division at 5 p.m. of September 13, Thursday.
Also catch the University of San Jose Recolletos (USJ-R) Jaguars as they face off with the Southwestern University (SWU) Cobras in the collegiate division at 6:45 p.m. also on Thursday.
The live coverage of these matches will also be aired live at Sun.Star’s sports section. Enjoy the games as you watch them live as they happen only here at Sun.Star website! (Rommel C. Manlosa of Sun.Star Cebu/With Sunnex)

20 Davao students ‘possessed’

DAVAO CITY — At least 20 fourth year female students of the Crossing Bayabas National High School were believed to have been possessed by some spirits when they broke out in hysterics around 8:45 a.m. Monday.
The students of the national high school were attending the inauguration of their new building when the girls started writing and screaming, and fighting against restraining hands of friends, faculty members, faith healers, and religious leaders.

Some believed that the incident happened because three talisay trees, where the evil spirits said to have lived, were cut down for the new building.

DAVAO. A student is restrained by a faith healer who carries with him a bottle of oil and herbs as students, teachers, and residents had to contend with the hysterics of at least 20 fourth year high school girls of Crossing Bayabas National High School in what is believed to have been a possession of some spirits on Monday. (King Rodriguez)
Chief Inspector Anghel Sumagaysay, chief of the Toril Police Station, said they were having a meeting when they were informed about the claimed “demonic possession.”
“Wala man hinuoy nasakitan sa maong panghitabo (No one was hurt in the incident),” Sumagaysay said.
Religious leaders of different denominations in the area were among the first to respond, saying prayers out loud as the girls screamed and tried to escape the restraining hands of those surrounding them.
There were those who were carrying bottles of oil and herbs while one even sprinkled salt on one of the screaming girls.
According to police, the students were sent home accompanied by their parents at 11:30 a.m. Monday.
A psychiatrist, in a radio interview, refused to believe that it was a possession of spirits and would rather say that the girls may have been undergoing some stress that led them into a mass hysteria.
On August 2011, 56 students of Compostela National High School were also allegedly possessed by evil spirits.
The students reportedly exhibited strange and violent behavior and started ranting in front of their classmates, teachers and local officials.
The students were brought to Señor Santiago Parish, while others were rushed to the Holy Infant Community in Compostela. (Sun.Star SuperBalita Davao/Sunnex)

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.

Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year. Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times. Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesn’t have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.

Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball. The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.

Swat gets heat over mauling

CEBU CITY — Two police officers who were caught on camera beating a 29-year-old Papua New Guinea national filed a complaint against him before the Cebu City Prosecutor’s Office on Monday afternoon.
But also on Monday, the two officers from the Special Weapons and Tactics (Swat) were relieved while they face an investigation for causing Bennidict Penini’s physical injuries.

Police Officer (PO1) Phillip James Tanza and PO2 Bradford Lavandero will now be reporting to the Office of the City Director’s holding unit in the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO).
ALL QUIET NOW. Papua New Guinea national Bennidict Penini (right) sits outside the Palace of Justice with his friends and lawyer, Atty. Fritz Lastimoso (third from left), just a short distance from Swat policemen PO1 Philip James Tanza (left) and PO2 Bradford Lavandero (second from left). (Sun.Star Photo/Arni Aclao)
Police Regional Office (PRO)-Central Visayas Director Marcelo Garbo Jr. ordered the Regional Investigation and Detective Management Branch to conduct the investigation to be led by Superintendent Audie Villasin.
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) will conduct a separate investigation on the two officers. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) is waiting for the investigation report from the CHR.
Penini, an information technology student, was subdued by the police officers after he allegedly ran amuck in Barangay Banilad, Cebu City last Sunday morning.
PO2 Lavandero and PO1 Tanza filed a direct assault of a person in authority complaint against him, saying he threw stones at them during the incident.
During the inquest proceeding, Prosecutor Aida Sanchez lowered the complaint from direct assault to resistance to arrest.
Sanchez told reporters there wasn’t enough evidence to support the more serious charge.
According to the Revised Penal Code, some elements that constitute direct assault are when the offender “makes an attack, employs force, makes a serious intimidation or makes a serious resistance,” and “the offender knows that the one he is assaulting is a person in authority.”
Penini, assisted by lawyer Fritz Lastimoso, opted not to file a counter-affidavit to answer the police officers’ allegations.
With this development, the information of the case will be filed in the Municipal Trial Courts in Cities (MTCC).
Sanchez said a bail of P2,000 is usually set in such cases.
Quarrel
Lastimoso said that Penini will talk to his parents about the possibility of having the case settled outside the court.
Around 11:30 a.m. last Sunday, Lavandero and Tanza received a radio message telling them to support two Mobile Patrol Group (MPG) teams that responded to a trouble alarm outside Alicia Towers in Barangay Banilad.
When they arrived, they saw Penini allegedly throwing stones at a group of bystanders.
“We approached the said foreign national and introduced ourselves as police officers and instructed the same to put down the stones,” they said in their joint affidavit. “But instead of obeying, (Penini) became more aggressive and threw several stones at us.”
Afterwards, Penini allegedly struck a stone on the jaw of taxi driver Giovanni Catib.
“Sensing that (Penini) can no longer be handled in a diplomatic manner, we decided to apply tolerable force against him,” said the police officers.
Unnecessary
Catib, 33, failed to file a complaint against Penini on Monday. He was also caught on camera kicking Penini.
“Hasol ang kaso…kon maapiki mo-file ko (A case would be a hassle…if I’ve no choice then I’d file a case),” he said.
In a phone interview, Primo Cadampog of the CHR-Central Visayas said it was clear from the ABS-CBN video that the two officers kept hitting Penini even if he had calmed down.
“That was an unnecessary act,” he said. Cadampog said the CHR still has to get the statements of both parties.
Before Penini allegedly ran amuck, he was arguing with another Papua New Guinea national. When the other person left, Penini allegedly started throwing stones at passers-by and kept shouting.
The responding officers said they tried to pacify Penini.
An ABS-CBN Cebu crew covering the incident shot the video footage of Tanza and Lavandero hitting the head and body of Penini, who was lying on the sidewalk, with the butt of their rifles. They also kicked him.
Catib joined in and kicked Penini several times, until one of the officers stopped him.
Dismayed
Penini was then brought to the Tourist Action Center (TAC).
Catib said he was thankful the two officers protected him.
“Kung wala lang sad gyud to siya (Penini) mamato, dili man sad gyud to siya ingon atuon sa mga pulis (If he hadn’t thrown stones at people, the officers wouldn’t have had to subdue him),” explained Gatib.
Meanwhile, Antonio Go, a family friend of Penini, went to the Police Regional Office and reported that the parents of Penini, who are reportedly members of the parliament in Papua New Guinea, were dismayed by the incident.
Go, a Cebuano and also a Papua New Guinea citizen, said he worries about the 40,000 Filipinos working in that country.
“If the people in Papua New Guinea know of this, they might get back at us by doing something bad to the Filipinos out there,” Go said.
He said that Penini arrived in Cebu last June and is a student in one of the universities in the city. He added that there were 29 Papua New Guinean students who arrived in Cebu City to study along with Penini.
When the other parents learned about the incident, he was instructed by the parents to let their children go home, he said.
Connection
Go said that along with the other foreign students, they are scheduled to go home to Papua New Guinea on Wednesday, including Penini.
Also on Monday, DFA-Central Visayas Director Elias Balawag said that Bienvenido Tejano, the Philippine ambassador to Papua New Guinea, called him to inquire about the incident.
Tejano is reportedly concerned because his agency is promoting Cebu as a tourist destination in Papua New Guinea.
The number of Papua New Guinea nationals who are coming to Cebu to study increased when Air Neugini, the country’s flag carrier, started operating a direct flight to the Mactan Cebu International Airport just a few months ago.
Acting Cebu City Mayor Joy Augustus Young is also concerned about the implications of the incident. He assured, though, that the city remains generally a peaceful place for foreign students.
“Any report like this is not good because it might discourage some foreigners to come here to study. But overall, Cebu City is still a safe place. We’ll get over this because it’s not an everyday occurrence… it’s an isolated case,” Young said in a phone interview. (KAL/JBT/With EOB/LCR/Sun.Star Cebu)

Senate to probe ‘break-in’ at Robredo’s condo

MANILA — The Senate has summoned Local Government Undersecretary Rico Puno to a hearing to shed light on reports that he tried to obtain confidential files from the condominium of his boss, the late Jesse Robredo, a day after the plane crash in Masbate.
The hearing will take place at 10:30 a.m. of Friday, September 14, said Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, chair of the committee on constitutional amendments and revision of laws.

Also invited to participate were Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr., Environment Secretary Ramon Paje, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, newly appointed Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II, Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Nicanor Bartolome, retired Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz and Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo, wife of the late secretary.
The hearing was also scheduled to tackle issues implicating Puno in the botched purchase of assault rifles for the PNP.
Puno, a shooting buddy of President Benigno Aquino III, reportedly went to Israel in May upon the invitation of one of the bidders and that the specifications were supposedly tailor-made for a certain party.
The report cited conflict of interest on Puno since he was then a member of the bids and awards committee of the project, which was already shelved by President Aquino after sensing a possible case of overpricing.
Aquino admitted over the weekend that he asked Puno to secure the documents since Robredo was investigating sensitive cases, including the arms deal, prior to his death. He said, however, that he did not order Puno to go to Robredo’s condominium.
“Why did you have to go to the house when nobody told you to go there? Your superior — the President — did not request you to go. So what was he doing there? What was so urgent that he has to go himself? What were the documents he wanted to get his hands on?” Santiago told reporters.
Leni Robredo earlier asked her maid not to allow Puno and the police from entering the condominium unit, which Santiago said only showed lack of trust for the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) official.
“This attitude could have stemmed from her husband’s own attitude. Otherwise, since she is not a member of the DILG, what is the basis that she did not want Puno inside the house at all?” the senator said, adding Puno is guilty of plain discourtesy for not personally seeking entry from Robredo’s wife.
Separate investigation
The House of Representatives committee on public order and safety will also hold a separate investigation on the P1.2-billion firearms deal.
The inquiry will be called before Congress goes on recess on September 22, said Cebu Representative Pablo John Garcia, chairman of the panel.
The investigation is a result of a resolution filed by Agham party-list Representative Angelo Palmones and Antipolo City Representative Romeo Acop requesting the committee chaired by Garcia to probe the questionable procurement of 59,904 units of caliber 9-millimeter pistols, which has an approved budget of P1.198 billion.
Palmones said he received information that 28,000 out of 59,904 9-mm pistols were delivered in the Manila South Harbor from the United States four days after the bidding was completed, and the notice of award was released to Trust Trade and Glock Asia Pacific Ltd. on August 31, 2012.
“I find it suspicious that the delivery was that fast. The shipping should be at least one month. It opens the possibility that even before the bidding was sealed last August 31, some of the pistols are already being delivered to the Philippines,” he said in an ambush interview.
During the recent budget hearing of the DILG, Puno said the PNP recently finished the bidding for the procurement of the pistols, the delivery of which will be completed within a year.
Hesitant
For his part, Cruz expressed hesitation over attending the Senate inquiry, which will also tackle Puno’s supposed involvement in jueteng operations.
Cruz said he has nothing new to offer to the table.
“The documents which listed the names of jueteng lords and beneficiaries are with them (senators). It’s in their possession, so there’s no need for me to appear there, strictly speaking,” he said.
Cruz and Leni Robredo have been only issued invitations and not subpoenas since they are not public officials. This means that they are not compelled to attend, said Santiago.
Paje, meanwhile, will talk about the progress of the total log ban that is being implemented along with Puno’s office.
Puno’s removal
In other developments, Cruz supported Aquino’s plan to remove Puno from the DILG.
He said the jueteng menace in the country is now “free, flourishing and open as ever” under Puno’s two-year stint as undersecretary for peace and order.
The retired prelate, however, said he is not impressed with Bartolome, who is Puno’s likely replacement.
“During his time as PNP chief, he has failed to accomplish his programs. It is good at the start but I see a lack of consistency on his part. I don’t know, maybe also because some forces are trying to stop him from pursuing them,” Cruz said.
Bartolome is being asked by Aquino to retire earlier than the mandatory schedule of March 16, 2013, so that the new PNP chief will have time to strategize the conduct of peaceful midterm elections in May.
But for Cruz, he said it would have been better if Aquino had let Roxas choose his would-be undersecretary.
“Why not let him choose who he would want to work with?” asked Cruz while recalling Malacañang’s previous statement of giving Roxas a free hand in reorganizing the department.
No special treatment
Malacañang, meantime, said Puno will not get special treatment from the President amid his alleged involvement in the multi-billion firearms deal.
Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said it would be up to Puno to answer allegations against him and the Palace will not tolerate any anomalous transactions in government.
Lacierda said Aquino was the one who ordered the late Secretary Robredo to launch an investigation on the deal upon learning that the guns were overpriced.
“The President saw the price on Google and it was only P40,000 from the original price of P80,000, that’s why he ordered an investigation,” the Palace spokesperson said.
He added the President had stopped the bidding process but he ordered further investigation on the matter.
Lacierda also said the President was the one who ordered Puno to secure the confidential documents in Robredo’s office, a day after the plane crash in Masbate that killed the late DILG secretary.
Despite his closeness with Aquino, the spokesperson said Puno is not being considered “untouchable” by Malacañang.
“He’s not untouchable. Nobody is untouchable in this administration,” he said.
He said the President has been fair in dealing with officials in his administration, citing the case of Energy Secretary Rene Almendras, another close friend of Aquino, who has been criticized amid the energy crisis in Mindanao.
Aquino said Puno still had his trust and confidence but he has announced his plans to relieve the official from his post. (Virgil Lopez/Kathrina Alvarez/Jill Beltran/HDT/Sunnex)

Hit hard on criminals, new NCR police chief told

MANILA — Amid the increased crime rate in Metro Manila and after an extort try by two erring cops, Philippine National Police Chief Nicanor Bartolome urged a newly installed police official to “hit hard” on law breakers.
Bartolome told Chief Superintendent Leonardo Espina, the new head of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), to maximize the deployment of police resources and personnel in “every nook and cranny” of the metropolis for a stronger law enforcement.
“Hit hard on criminals and protect the people,” Bartolome told Espina as the latter was formally installed Friday as the new NCRPO chief.
Bartolome also ordered to mobilize the entire 17,000-strong police force in NCR to cover “every square inch” of the 21 identified crime prone areas in the metropolis.
Early this week, the PNP admitted that crime incidence has decreased all over the country except in Metro Manila in the first half of the year.
From January to June, authorities recorded 29,231 crimes in NCR, a 57 percent increase from the 18,671 recorded incidents in the same period in 2011.
The increase in crime incidents was due to the fact that criminals have apparently become “smarter,” according to Chief Superintendent Generoso Cerbo Jr., PNP spokesman.
And to efficiently stop law breakers, Bartolome told Espina to complement and innovate existing anti-crime programs with new strategic and operational directions in crime prevention and control.
Bartolome said law enforcers should emphasize greatly on community mobilization, proactive intelligence, neutralization of wanted persons, and interdiction operations against organized crime groups.
The PNP chief also asked Espina of a zero backlog solution on the pending administrative cases against erring policemen.
He added that all pending administrative cases involving NCRPO personnel should be resolved within the next 30 days.
Bartolome made these statements days after two policemen from the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) tried to extort money from no less than the son of Espina.
On Tuesday evening, two policemen chanced on a vehicle parked along Doña Hemady street in Quezon City and saw the driver, who turned out to be Espina’s son, chatting on his mobile phone.
The two cops, identified as Senior Police Officer 4 Jose dela Peña and Police Officer 2 Resty del Rosario, accosted the vehicle and accused Espina’s son of engaging in “phone sex.”
They allegedly demanded P20,000 as “fine” for the violation, which was later negotiated to P5,000.
However, the cops’ extort try failed when Espina’s son handed his mobile phone to dela Peña, who talked to the NCRPO chief.
Upon realizing that a high-ranking police official was on the other line, dela Peña returned the phone to Espina’s son and abandoned him.
Espina has clarified that his son did not give the money to the erring cops, who belong to the QCPD Mobile Patrol Unit.
The two have been disarmed since the incident while their badges were confiscated.
The NCRPO chief has vowed to go after abusive law enforcers, saying he will not allow “a few rotten eggs” to ruin the reputation of the PNP.
“[D]apat tanggalin ang mga ganitong klaseng pulis [These cops should be discharged],” Espina said in earlier interviews with reporters. (Emmanuel Louis Bacani/Sunnex)

MANILA — The low pressure area (LPA) off Surigao provinces dissipated early Saturday morning, but an inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) will bring rains affecting the Visayas and Mindanao, the state weather bureau said.
An ITCZ is a merge of winds from different directions, which is also a breeding ground for an LPA.
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that at present, there is no weather disturbance monitored near the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
Pagasa said Palawan, the Visayas and Mindanao will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms while the rest of Luzon, including Metro Manila, will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms, mostly in the afternoon or evening.
The weather agency said that moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Northern Luzon with moderate to rough seas. (Sunnex)

Arroyo to undergo stem cell treatment Monday

MANILA (Updated, 12:18 p.m.) — Former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is scheduled to undergo her fourth stem cell therapy on Monday.
In her Twitter account, @gmarroyo, she posted: “This Monday, I will have my fourth stem cell intravenous treatment with my alternative medicine doctor.”
“It’s cultured stem cell and much more modest in price than the one coming from sheep or one’s own body,” she added, without elaborating how much the treatment will cost.
After she was granted bail by a Pasay City court last July, Arroyo sought the help of alternative medicine doctor Antonia Park, who runs a wellness center in Tagaytay City.
Earlier this week, the former President said she has started searching for a specialist who can correct her spinal condition.
Arroyo also said she continues to attend her thrice a week therapy at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center, where she had spent eight months in hospital arrest over electoral sabotage charges in connection with the 2007 midterm polls.
“I just came from my thrice weekly therapy at Veterans. This week, I also saw two alternative medicine practitioners as part of my search for a second opinion while initiating my communication with an opinion with a neurocervical spine purist who does repeat surgery daily, as recommended by Dr. Anastacio,” she tweeted Thursday.
Dr. Roberto Anastacio, her physician at the Makati Medical Center, earlier said the treatment for Arroyo’s condition could be found in Austria and New York.
Hold departure orders issued by the Sandiganbayan, however, are preventing Arroyo from leaving the country. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

Six ASG men in Basilan rubber workers ambush identified

MANILA — The Philippine Army’s 1st Infantry Division has identified six of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) bandits who participated in Friday’s bloody ambush which killed one rubber tapper and wounded around 36 of his companions in Tumahubong, Sumisip, Basilan.
Captain Albert Caber, the unit’s spokesperson, identified the ASG men as Wims M. Wakil, Umair Wakil, Abul Wakil, Madie Umangkat Sahirin, Kursie Umangkat Sahirin and Cabot Mastul.
He added that the six along with their still unidentified companions are now being hunted down by elements of the 3rd Scout Ranger Battalion and the 64th Infantry Battalion.
The victims, all workers of the Tumahubong Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Development Cooperative, were on their way home on board two “Saddam” trucks at 12:45 p.m. when they were fired at by the armed men in Sapah Bulak village in Sumisip Friday.
The attack was reportedly triggered by the cooperative’s refusal to give in to the ASG extortion demand.
Of the 36 injured, six are now in critical condition.
Aerial and artillery assets are now being deployed to help in the tracking operations. (PNA)
