ANGELES CITY — While branding the grand Fiestang Kuliat 2012 as a venue for the city to soar higher much that it is themed “Fiestang Kuliat 2012: Sulagpo Angeles!”, Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan emphasized that the 20th twin feasts is apolitical and a pure celebration of Angeleños’ spiritual customs and cultural traditions.
After the press preview and official launch of Fiestang Kuliat 2012 at SM City Clark yesterday, Pamintuan told Sun.Star Pampanga that in keeping with the salute to the resiliency of Angeleños as it rose from the ashes of Mt. Pinatubo 20 years ago, the committee he chairs decided to shoo away from politicking during the month long celebration of Fiestang Kuliat this October.
Check our new look and tell us what you think.
“You know, in the past, politics just seeps in during Fiestang Kuliat. Even during the time of my predecessors, it was like that pero hindi tayo nakialam. We revived the Fiestang Kuliat, particularly the Tigtigan, Terakan Keng Dalan to buoy up the spirit of Angeleños and celebrate our resiliency. No politics at all and we would want it to stay that way,” he said.
Pamintuan furthered: “Like I’ve said before , Angeles City will soar higher in the years to come under our wing. Fiestang Kuliat is a venue for us to soar higher. It embodies the success of our efforts and unity. It showcases our religiosity, warmth and hospitality and all about Angeles City, who we are as a people.”
“Definitely, we do not want this year’s Fiestang Kuliat to have any political color,” concluded Pamintuan.

STO. TOMAS – Criminal and administrative cases have been filed against Mayor Joselito Naguit before the offices of the Provincial Prosecutor and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Monday.
Zoilo T. Briones, 83, of Barangay Sto. Niño Sapa here filed the said cases against the mayor.
Briones claimed that Naguit lied when he denied his involvement in a mauling incident which left the former with contusions as evidenced by a medical certificate.
He said the medical certificate signed by Dr. Hena Aldaba, resident physician of the Jose B. Lingad Memorial General Hospital and the police blotter will attest to the fact that he was assaulted by the mayor and his group.
Briones stated that he remains firm with his previous statement that he was hit by Naguit in different parts of his body while his two bodyguards held his arms.
In his complaint dated September 25, 2012 submitted to the Prosecutor’s Office, Briones stated: “Ang pagmamaltrato sa akin ni Mayor Joselito F. Naguit at dalawa niyang kasamahan ay nagdulot ng kahihiyan at takot dahil maraming tao ang nakakita sa insidente at hindi isinaalang alang ang aking edad.”
The mauling controversy stemmed from a confrontation between Briones and a member of the mayor’s staff, asking the latter to remove a pile of sand blocking the front of the former’s driveway.
“Nakita ko na naglalakad si Mang Zoilo sa daan pauwi galing sa barangay hall ng Sapa Sto. Niño ng biglang dumaan ang isang Toyota Fortuner na kulay asul at bumaba si Mayor Naguit at dalawang bodyguard, pagkatapos narinig ko na sinabi ni mayor na bakit daw siya minumura at pagkatapos ay bigla na lamang pinagsusuntok sa iba’t ibang parte ng katawan at itinulak sa may balikat at sabay hamon sa kanya habang ang dalawang bodyguard ay hinahawakan ang dalawang kamay,” Ana Mervy Jawili, a resident here and an eyewitness, said in her sworn statement.
In the administrative case, Naguit was charged with grave abuse of authority and conduct unbecoming of a public official.
Briones prays that after observance of due process, respondent mayor be dismissed from service and be disqualified from holding public office in the future.
However, it was learned that DILG regional office will only endorse the said complaint to the Provincial Board who apparently has jurisdiction over the matter.
Earlier, Naguit also filed a case of direct assault against his accuser Briones.

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – A number of candidates have filed their certificates of candidacy (COCs) Monday in various Commission on Election (Comelec) offices in the province, accompanied either by supporters and runningmates.
Among those who filed their COCs Monday were re-electionist Mabalacat City Mayor Marino ‘Boking’ Morales and his runningmates, re-electionist Rep. Aurelio ‘Dong’ Gonzales (3rd district), former Angeles City administrator and political officer Mark Allen Sison who is seeking for the vice mayoralty post, and Dr. Rey Aquino, making a comeback as city mayor of San Fernando, and his runningmates.
Mayor Morales urged Monday his constituents to pick credible and qualified candidates who will vie for elective positions in next year’s polls.
Morales issued the statement shortly after he, together with his runningmates under the Kambilan Ning Memalen Kapampangan (Kambilan) local political party, filed his certificate of candidacy Tuesday morning.
Morales said leaders of the newly-converted city should have substance, vision, and passion for the people.
“Ngayon po ay nasa panahon na naman tayo ng ating mga nanunungkulan. Piliin po nating mabuti ang kandidatong lumalapit sa atin. Sa inyong mga kamay po nakasalalay ang lalong ikauunlad ng ating siyudad,” Morales said.
He also cited Mabalacat’s strategic location which will help in realizing the dream of leaders for the city – to become Makati North of Manila in 20 years.
The city mayor also mentioned programs on health, environment, peace and order, education, among others.
He also asked the support of his constituents in realizing the programs of administration. “Kung wala ang suporta ng mga tao, wala rin tayong magagawa,” the mayor said.
Councilor Elizabeth Pineda filed her certificate of candidacy for vice mayor under Morales’s slate.
Councilor bets under Morales ticket include Councilors Roland “Rox” Peña, Rogelio Yumul, and Froilan Galang; Board Member Krizzanel “Win-Win” Garbo, Dwight Morales, Tomas Manalo, Eddie Sotto, Joey Santos, Carlo Nino Rivera, Amaru “Bok” Tiglao.
Dong bids for 3rd term
Rep. Aurelio “Dong” Gonzales Jr. (third district) filed his certificate of candidacy Monday before the Pampanga provincial Commission on Elections (Comelec) office in a bid for a third term in office under the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC).
Gonzales and hundreds of his supporters attended a solemn Eucharistic Mass at the Sto. Niño Parish Church here before parading along Capitol Boulevard and staging a brief stop at the Provincial Capitol.
The filing brought with it a festive mood with drums and regular confetti drops from a hovering helicopter all throughout the long walk to the Comelec office.
The two-term congressman is set to battle it out with City of San Fernando Mayor Oscar Rodriguez who set to stage a comeback. Gonzales said he does not consider Rodriguez as an adversary in the 2013 race.
“My greatest concern now is how to continue my programs for the district. Anyone is free to run in the congressional race,” Gonzales said.
Gonzales added that he will honor the alliances made NPC in the national level. He added that NPC in the local level will still consider the rule on “equity of the incumbent.” However, if a candidate from a coalition party member would field in a candidate, the worst possible event would be a “free zone” scenario for the district.
Gonzales added that he is optimistic about his chances in the 2013 race.
Gonzales is the first congressional candidate to file his certificate of candidacy and the first incumbent government official to have filed such in the provincial Comelec office here.
‘Oca not my foe’
“Mayor [Oscar] Oca [Rodriguez] is not my foe in 2013,” so quipped Gonzales, Jr. Monday after filing his certificate of candidacy at the Commission on Elections Provincial Office.
Gonzales, who is seeking his third term, was the first official to file his certificate of candidacy Monday, marching with hundreds of supporters to the Comelec office early morning after hearing Holy Mass at the Sto. Niño Parish, in a show of force that came complete with a “higante” and a chopper dropping confetti along the route.
He will face Rodriguez in the congressional race in next year’s polls.
“Actually, hindi si Mayor Oca ang kalaban ko kung hindi ang pagnanasa nating makapagsilbi muli at ituloy ang P5.0 billion worth of projects natin sa distrito. I know the people will soon speak and they will decide for themselves,” Gonzales said.
On Sunday during his state of the district address, Gonzales never mentioned nor hit on the opposition, but focused on his desire to serve by continuing his third and last term.
“I just want to continue to be the solution to be problem as I open another chapter in serving you and the Third District come 2013 and beyond. Sana po ay sama-sama pa rin tayong isulong ang progreso sa tersera distrito na nasimulan natin sa limang taong nakaraan.”
Amid cheers of support from folks and local leaders, Gonzales said: “Utang na loob ko po sa inyo ang pagkakataong inyong ibinigay sa akin upang pagsilbihan kayo. I gave my best, I gave my all. And I promise to give more in the coming years if you will again give me the trust and mandate to continue making the district more progressive, responsive and truly a place where I could be the solution to your problems.”
The lawmaker very particular about education, where some P107 million in assistance was poured in the past five years.
“Education is the key to progress. Ito po ang namana ko sa aking mga magulang na hindi kayang nakawin nino man. Ito rin po ang nais kong ipamana sa mga kabataan at kanilang pamilya ngayon. Pangako ko pong itatatguyod kayo dahil ito ang susi tungo sa magandang bukas. Power is temporary. But education is a wealth that could not be taken away from you,” stressed Gonzales.
Aside from education, he said, some P4 billion worth of infrastructure had been put up in the district, with some P1.0 billion more in the offing.
About P22 million more in health programs, Gonzales added, benefitted the poor in Bacolor, City of San Fernando, Mexico, Sta. Ana and Arayat, hand in hand with some P11 million in agricultural assistance.
“Sa atin po, pantay-pantay lahat. Walang mahirap, walang mayaman. Tayo po ay hindi gumagamit ng tao at ang aking sandata ay ang aking Rosary kung saan ipinagdarasal ko kayo araw-araw,” quipped Gonzales.
Quoting Winston Churchill, he said: “Every day you make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you and ever lengthening, ever-ascending, ever improving path. But this, far from discouraging, will only add to the joy and glory to the climb.”
“Milabas ne pu ing limang banua. At sana magpatuloy ta pa king kekatang pamiyabe at pamisaup kabang lalakad tamu king hamun para lalo taya pang pasantingan, palaguan at paunlaran ing kekatamung distritu at paglingkuran ding kekatang kabalen. Paburen yu ku pu sanang maging solusyon keng kekatamung problema bilang talasuyu,” said Gonzales.
Sison files candidacy for VM
Former Angeles City administrator and Vice President Jejomar Binay’s political officer Mark Allen Sison filed Monday his certificate of candidacy before the city Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Angeles City, running as an independent vice mayoralty candidate of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).
Sison was accompanied by dozens of supporters who were wearing orange shirts with the UNA logo. UNA is the party of Vice President Jejomar Binay.
The former city administrator said his previous stint as city officer here gives him a well rounded understanding of the workings and needs of the city.
Asked if who would be the mayor he will be supporting, Sison said he will announce who it will be in the coming weeks. Sison said he will be running as an independent candidate but would be openly campaigning for the UNA candidates and guest candidates for the national and congressional level.
Sison said he is ready to battle it out in the 2013 vice mayoralty race here among at least five other candidates. Among his advocacies include the construction of barangay senior citizens centers in 33 barangays of Angeles City that will be equipped with wheelchairs, crutches/canes, nebulizers, and other medical equipment.
Sison said he is setting his eyes on a free cinema viewing for all senior citizens and birthday cakes to all senior citizens during their natal days. Sison said he also sees the importance of a medical assistance and burial assistance program for the city that will benefit indigents and the abandoned.
He added that he has started work on a scholarship program for indigent students that will identify 20 per village to be enrolled with regular educational assistance in all state universities and colleges (SUCs), and at the AMA Computer University, St. Jude College and Medical Center.
For the education sector, he is forwarding the implementation of an information technology program to all public elementary and secondary schools.
He said he had started work on PCSO-sponsored medical/dental missions and supplemental feeding programs for this city. Sison added that his legacy would be a modern legislative building.
Dr. Aquino files his COC
Dr. Rey Aquino was the first candidate to file his certificate of candidacy for the mayoralty post at the Comelec at the city hall of San Fernando Monday morning.
Aquino, a third term mayor of this city, was accompanied by runningmate lawyer Raul Macalino and 10 city councilorables Puring Bamba, Jay Cuyugan, Bong David, Russel Halili, Angie Hizon, BJ Tiger Lagman, Ayzel Macalino, Jep Miranda, Jay Patio and Rey Pekson.
Dr. Aquino said his team — Team Fernandino — is affiliated with the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), the party of Vice President Jojo Binay.
Hundreds of supporters attended a Mass at the San Fernando Cathedral before filing their COCs.
After they filed their COC, Aquino, Macalino and 10 city councilorables walked from the city hall to covered court of Villa Barosa in Barangay Dolores here.
The group was met by at least 5,000 residents from different barangays, after which a press conference was held.
In his short speech, Aquino said he chose to file his CoC yesterday (October) because it was also on Oct. 1, 1995 when residents of San Fernando experienced massive flooding.
If elected, Aquino said, “Bibigyan ko ng pansin ang kalusugan, edukasyon, peace and order at mabigyan ng agarang solusyon ang pagbaha ng lungsod.”
He said he can achieve all of these, “kung tutulungan ninyo ako sa aking panunungkulan.”(Reynaldo G. Navales, Ian Ocampo Flora, Jovi T. De Leon and Ric Sapnu)

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico – Police on Sunday found the remains of seven people whose bodies were chopped up and dumped in cars in northern Mexico, near the US border.
Police in Nuevo Laredo received a phone tip Sunday reporting bodies found in two cars that had been abandoned in a shopping center, state prosecutors said in a statement.
A source with the prosecutors’ office, speaking privately, said the bodies were those of six men between 30-35 and another person whose age and gender had not been confirmed.
Just September 14, the bodies of 16 people were found spread over two locations in Nuevo Laredo.
The grisly incidents come on the heels of the September 12 arrest of Gulf cartel boss Eduardo Costilla, alias “El Coss,” in Tampico, Tamaulipas state. The Gulf cartel has been weakened by its clash with the Zetas, a rival group set up by army deserters.
The Zetas were originally hired as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel, but turned on their employers and have taken over their lucrative turf, which includes key land routes to smuggle drugs across Central America and into the United States.
Mexico has been in the grip of a massive crime wave in recent years, with more than 60,000 people killed in drug-related violence since the launch of a military crackdown against the cartels in 2006.

AMMAN – “I wish I could live at the Zaatari Syrian refugee camp because there is water there,” a Jordanian man says, frustrated that he has not had any tap water of his own in months.
“I cannot remember the last time I got municipal water. Maybe if I go live with the Syrian refugees I might get some of the water the government provides them,” said the 50-year-old man from the northern city of Irbid.
He is one of hundreds of thousands of Jordanians who suffer from chronic water shortage in one of the world’s 10 driest countries, which is 92 percent desert.
Many ordinary Jordanians, as well as others in government circles, complain that tens of thousands of Syrian refugees who have fled from the conflict at home are draining the country’s meager water resources.
In recent weeks, people have demonstrated in southern and northern villages for not receiving water for the past two months, burning tyres, blocking roads and seizing a Water Authority tanker.
Their only alternative is to buy from private suppliers at grossly inflated prices, or even steal it.
“This summer has been tough and hot, and the increasing Syrian refugees and sometimes tourists have added pressures to water resources,” Water Authority Secretary General Fayez Bataineh told AFP.
“But at the same time people’s reaction to some limited and isolated problems is highly exaggerated.”
Years of below-average rainfall have created a shortfall of 500 million cubic metres (17.5 billion cubic feet) a year, and the country forecasts it will need 1.6 billion cubic metres of water a year by 2015.
The country’s 10 dams, which can store up to 325 million cubic meters, now contain around 70 million cubic meters.
“Some people do not get water as scheduled, while others do not get enough. But when some steal water and sabotage pipes, the situation become worse,” Bataineh said.
“I think we have managed to control the situation. As for Syrian refugees in Zaatari, water tankers provide each one of them with 30 litres a day because their use of water is limited.”
More than 30,000 Syrian refugees live in Zaatari, near the Syrian border.
Other refugees are concentrated in the northern cities, which already suffer from water shortage, while the demand on water is expected to increase.
In June, the government said that each Syrian needs at least 80 litres of fresh water.
“The authority pumps water to us once a week, less than 24 hours. It was never enough,” said the mother of five Umm Iyad.
“We wait for this water to come so we can wash clothes, shower and clean the house. Even if we want to invite people for lunch or dinner, we make sure they come when the water comes.”
Umm Iyad lives in a hilly area in Amman, where water pressure is sometimes too weak to fill storage tanks in her building.
“Because of that, we are forced many times to buy water. And sometimes, we miss our turn in getting water if a tiny electricity glitch affects the municipal pumping. There are many things that need to be done but there is not enough water.
“If we are lucky, we buy a four-cubic-meter water tanker from the Water Authority for around nine dinars ($12/9.33 euros). But sometimes it is not available, which forces us to pay 25 dinars for the same amount from private water suppliers.”
Jordan’s average annual consumption stands at around 900 million cubic metres, but more than 60 percent of that water goes to agriculture, which contributes 3.6 percent to gross domestic product, according to official figures.
Struggling to battle a chronic water shortage, Jordan is mulling controversial plans to extract water.
It is tapping into a 300,000-year-old aquifer, despite concerns about high levels of radiation, while studying ways to build a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea.
It is also seeking to develop peaceful nuclear energy in order to desalinate water and produce power.
“The country suffers from a chronic water shortage. It means that challenges are expected all the time, particularly during the summer,” Bataineh said.
“We are doing are best to cope, but mistakes and problems happen sometimes.”

UNITED NATIONS – Half of Somalia’s population wants out of the impoverished, conflict-stricken nation even as it takes the first steps to shed its reputation as the world’s most failed state, a new UN report says.
The United Nations sent a small army of surveyors across the vast East African nation – some risking their lives in militant zones now under attack from African Union troops- to get the views of its long-suffering 9.5 million people for a development survey.
Their report, released to coincide with a mini-summit on Somalia at the UN General Assembly last week, must have made sobering reading for the international leaders who welcomed the new president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, and warned him he still has a lot of work to do.
Seventy percent of Somalis are aged under 30 and the UN’s Somalia Human Development Report said more than two thirds of those young people want to flee.
The reasons are clear. After two decades of conflict and corrupt, chaotic governance, more than half of the population aged over 15 has no jobs. And Somalia may have the world’s worst unemployment rate, the UN report said.
The dearth of jobs makes unemployed, disillusioned youths a prey to the recruiters for Shebab fighters now battling AU forces for their last bastion at Kismayo and the pirates who have become a scourge of the Indian Ocean.
Mogadishu man Jamac Said told surveyors how he tried to get to Europe with four other boys and two girls through Ethiopia, Sudan, Libya and Italy.
They were stopped by South Sudan rebels who raped the girls. They went on but were detained by the Sudanese army for 19 months before being sent back to Somalia.
Said tried to get through Kenya a second time. He got as far as the Kenyan border town of Garissa, was beaten in prison for two months and only released after paying a ransom.
The UN estimates that between 450,000 and 1.5 million people have died in the country because of conflict and famine since the fall of dictator Mohamed SiadBarre in 1991.
There are more than 600,000 Somalis in refugee camps in neighboring countries. The UN estimates that 53,000 people tried to cross the Gulf of Aden to get into Yemen last year, and that hundreds, if not thousands, died.
“Somalia, not surprisingly, remains at the bottom of the list of the world’s failed states,” said the report.
But it stressed that the relative calm in the autonomous northern regions of Somaliland and Puntland proved there is hope for even this desperate case.
While the report said the rest of the world has spent $55 billion on Somalia’s troubles in over the past two decades, it called on donors to invest in helping the country’s desperate youth.
The international community is pinning its hopes on the new president and the African Union troops who hope taking Kismayo will be a major step to bolstering the fledgling government.
Outgoing African Union chairman Jean Ping highlighted the “myriad, complex and daunting challenges” facing Hassan, the target of an assassination attempt two days after his election, and his international backers.
The AU force, officially known as AMISOM and mainly made up of troops from Uganda, Burundi, Kenya and Djibouti, has almost doubled to 17,000 in the past year but Ping said it needs new finance and equipment.
Speaking to the mini-summit on Somalia, Hassan vowed to confront what the UN report called “Somalia’s legacy of corrupt and abusive political leadership.”
“Somalia has been through about 15 peace processes and plans since 1991. With the backing now on offer, this president has a better chance than all the others who have tried,” said one African minister who was at the UN meeting and spoke on condition of anonymity.
“It will need a long time and a miracle to beat all the enemies and obstacles he faces.”

MANILA, Philippines – Joey de Venecia III, son of former Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., has withdrawn from the senatorial race in 2013 to pursue “immediate business endeavors.”
“I have made a choice,” he said in a statement on Monday.
The young de Venecia said his efforts in business “that have resulted to substantial and wide-reaching investment agreements in BPO, call center, technology and other sectors” would be delayed if he seeks a seat in the Senate next year.
“I have therefore decided not to run for the Senate in 2013,” he said.
“Instead, I will pursue these immediate business endeavors bringing investments and jobs to our country. In so doing, I shall have achieved through business what I will only begin achieving through the Senate,” he said.
But the young de Venecia hinted that he would still pursue his senatorial bid in the future, saying public service was part of his life’s mission.
“My time in the Philippine Senate will come. It is clear to me that public service is part of my life’s mission. I will continue to work for the prosperity of as many Filipinos as possible and at the appropriate time in the future prepare myself for the Senate,” he added. With a report from Cathy Yamsuan, Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA — Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II should explain in a Senate inquiry the details of the renegotiation with Chinese officials on the scandal-tainted Northrail project, a debt watchdog said over the weekend.
Roxas reported the renegotiation of the Northrail project after his talk with Chinese officials last week.
The Freedom from Debt Coalition made the call in light of the government’s plan to revive the project, where $184 million will be paid to the Export-Import Bank of China (China EXIM Bank) in two years for financing land acquisition and other costs.
That amount is a portion of the $500 million worth of official development assistance (ODA) loan, which aims to construct a high-speed rail system that will link Metro Manila to Clark, Pampanga.
Ricardo Reyes, FDC president, said since the project’s original and amended contracts are void according to the July 14, 2011 opinion of the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC), the Philippine Government has no obligation to pay the Chinese lender.
“Why should public money be used to pay for a loan agreement that was deemed irregular from the start? Why the people should be made to suffer again from another example of the irregularities committed under the Arroyo administration?” Reyes asked.
If granted by the Senate, the probe should also check how the contractor China National Machinery Industry Corp. (Sinomach) spent the $184 million, among other issues.
FDC questioned why the Department of Finance renegotiated the payment of a portion of the loan when it is clear that the project’s original and amended contracts are invalid from the start.
Critics of the deal had also alleged that it failed to undergo a competitive bidding process and that the Buyer Credit Loan Agreement (BCLA) between the government and Sinomach did not secure a clearance from the Monetary Board. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)
