Poor kids’ first day at the mall

There are still a few Filipino children who have never set foot on a shopping mall, which has defined lifestyles for urban and rural families, because they simply can’t afford that kind of life.
It was, therefore, a dream come true for the children of the Valdez family when SM City Rosales treated them to a day of malling on Tuesday, Christmas Day.
Siblings Precia Mae, 6 (Grade 1), Joan, 8 (Grade 2), and Marvin, 11 (Grade VI), are the children of a farm worker and a laundry woman. They also have a 13-year-old sister, Precious, and a 2-year-old brother, Joven.
They live in Bacag East, Villasis, a 30-minute ride from SM City Rosales, and they are students of the elementary school in the village. The school has tagged the children as those from the poorest family in the neighborhood.
Maria Agnes Oller, the school principal, learned about their plight when she once took over the class of Precia Mae on behalf of the regular teacher, who took a leave of absence.
“The girl caught my attention because she was so quiet. I asked her what she wished for Christmas and if she had gone to SM. She said she has not and neither has her siblings. I thought going to malls is just an ordinary thing and yet there are children who could not go there because of poverty,” Oller said.
She discovered that the siblings occasionally come to school hungry, although they remain diligent students. Marvin is a contender for third honors.
“The teachers know the situation and are helping these kids, giving them food and paying for some contributions in school,” she said.
Oller wrote SM mall manager Jersey Mendoza to ask if it could sponsor the children. Mendoza agreed.
On Tuesday, an SM vehicle fetched the siblings’ 30-year-old mother, Percy, and Precious and Joven, who were taken to the mall.
They would meet up with Precia Mae, Joan and Marvin, who were being toured at Butterfly Garden in Villasis town.
Their 29-year-old father, Joven, was busy working at that time and could not join them.
Tears flowed when the Valdez family was handed a check of P10,000 from SM Rosales and an undisclosed amount of cash contributed by the mall staff.
The family was later toured around different stores, where they were given bags of goodies like school supplies, clothes and others, and treated to snacks at a Jollibee store.
“This is the first time that we received gifts. And there are so many. We are so happy. We will use the money for the school needs of the children,” Percy said.

Malacañang finds 1948 law banning gambling on Rizal Day

Attention gamblers: Sunday, Rizal Day, is not only a nonworking holiday but also a gambling holiday.
Malacañang has found an old, little-known law that prohibits gambling on Dec. 30, Rizal Day.
Republic Act No. 229 specifically prohibits cockfighting, horse racing and jai alai on Rizal Day.
RA 229 was signed on June 9, 1948, by President Elpidio Quirino, the second President of the Third Philippine Republic (post-World War II).
The Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) discovered a copy of the archaic law and uploaded the text to the online Official Gazette (pcdspo.gov.ph). It also posted a link on its Twitter account ahead of Sunday’s Rizal Day rites.
The PCDSPO is headed by Secretary Ricky Carandang, with Undersecretary Manuel “Manolo” Quezon III.

Still valid
In separate interviews on Saturday, presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda and deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte confirmed that the law is still valid.
“Yes, it is still in effect. We verified with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines,” Lacierda said in a text message.
And although Sunday is a holiday, penalties still apply.
Cockfighting, horse racing and jai alai aficionados caught betting in these games will be fined P200 or imprisoned for six months or both.
If the offenders are town and chartered city mayors, they will be suspended for six months in addition to the fine.
The law does not explain why it singles out mayors. But neither does it say that higher officials are exempt.
Flags at half-staff
RA 229 also orders the flying of the national flag at half-staff in all public buildings and at half-mast on seagoing vessels on Rizal Day.
So will President Aquino, who leads Sunday’s Rizal Day rites at Luneta Park, raise the flag to just halfway up the pole in front of the Rizal Monument?
That is interesting, because last year, the President, assisted by Cabinet officials, sent the flag all the way to the top. And the flag flew at full-staff anywhere in the country.
The law also mandates the creation of a committee to take charge of the proper celebration of Rizal Day in every municipality and chartered city in the country.
Lotto excluded
Interviewed by Radyo ng Bayan, Valte explained that the “legal forms” of games of chance are prohibited on Rizal Day.
“Surprisingly, there are a lot of people [who] did not know about that particular law,” she said.
Valte said the PCDSPO had produced an “infographic” of RA 229 to remind the public about the law, “especially now that you have an office which is really concerned about giving people a sense of history and making it very hip and very current.”
Asked whether the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office’s lotto games would be drawn Sunday, Valte said the lotto, a legal game of chance, did not exist at the time of the law’s enactment.
That explains why lotto betting stations sold tickets Saturday for Sunday’s games.

Free MRT, LRT rides
And, as in previous years, the government will not collect fares from commuters on the Metro Rail Transit and Light Rail Transit.

Male body found hanging from tree in front of LTO main office

MANILA, Philippines—The body of a young man was found hanging from a mango tree in front of the Land Transportation Office in Quezon City Tuesday morning.
Police have yet to determine if the death of the still unidentified man, estimated to be 20-25 years old, was a suicide or if foul play was involved.
Case investigator Police Officer 1 Romeo Nino said the victim was discovered around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday in front of the LTO on East Avenue, Barangay (village) Pinyahan.
He said a female sidewalk vendor first noticed the body hanging from a big branch of the tree, partially hidden by its leaves.
The woman then reported the incident to authorities, who took down the body with the help of firefighters.
Nino said the man hung from the tree with a nylon rope looped around his neck.
Police described the victim to be of medium built, fair-skinned and around 5’4″ tall.
The man had a birthmark in the right armpit and a 16-stitch scar on his stomach.
Nino said the victim wore beige cargo shorts and a blue-green shirt with the markings “Robot Rampage.”
Aside from rope marks on the neck, the man did not have any other external injuries, police added.

Arroyo prepares entourage for holiday furlough in Pampanga

Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had arranged for her private therapists to be stationed at a district hospital in Floridablanca or at a provincial hospital in Guagua during her planned 16-day furlough to celebrate Christmas and New Year with her family in her hometown Lubao, Pampanga.
There would be no therapists available at the Veteran’s Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) during the holiday break, which is why she had asked the Sandiganbayan, through her lawyers from Diaz, Del Rosario & Associates, to get out of her hospital suite.
She has made arrangements with the Romana Pangan district hospital in Floridablanca and the Diosdado Macapagal provincial hospital in Guagua for her physical therapy.
The former president also wants to bring 20 police escorts during her planned furlough from Dec. 21 to Jan. 5.
Arroyo’s lawyers said she has promised to obtain a medical certificate, comply with all the security protocol, shoulder all the costs of her security escorts and return to VMMC before 9 a.m. on Jan. 6.
Arroyo has been detained after being accused by the Sandiganbayan of having a direct hand in allegedly diverting P366-million confidential intelligence funds from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) during her administration.
Arroyo has been cooped up at the VMMC since October, with the filing of plunder charges against her at the Sandiganbayan.
Arroyo’s coaccused, former PCSO chairman and board member Manuel “Manoling” Morato, has also filed a new manifestation urging the Sandiganbayan to allow him to be detained in his ancestral house in Quezon City instead of a regular jail.
The 79-year-old Morato underwent a triple bypass and valve replacement in Oct. 22 and his lawyers claim he needs to stay at home to recover.

Catholic leaders vow to ensure defeat of LP candidates in 2013 polls over RH law

MANILA, Philippines—Catholic leaders lambasted on Saturday the “secrecy” that shrouded President Aquino’s signing of the reproductive health (RH) bill into law and vowed to “exhaust all legal remedies” to have it repealed.
Dr. Ricardo Boncan, spokesman of the Catholic Vote Philippines alliance, said it was “highly dishonorable” for the President to sign the law on December 21 in secret and away from media spotlight.
“We find the non-publicized signing of the RH bill into law by President Aquino to be highly dishonorable and unprincipled matter because he did it right after stating that he was in no hurry to sign the bill before Christmas,” Boncan said.
“This, to us, has been the hallmark of his presidency, deception and dictatorial,” he added.
Catholic Vote Philippines is the alliance of lay Catholic groups that have vowed to oust pro-RH politicians in the 2013 elections.
“We will exhaust all legal remedies to fight this unjust, unethical and anti-poor and anti-life law,” Boncan said.
Catholic lawyers are preparing to question the constitutionality of the law before the Supreme Court.
“The last recourse would be the Supreme Court,” said Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, a former president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.
“But we need to know what amendments were introduced and further study the new form of the approved law. (It’s) time to move on. The future will tell where wisdom has been,” he added.
Fr. Melvin Castro, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Family and Life, said the Church’s fight against the “culture of death” would continue even as Malacañang called for reconciliation.
“That the RH bill was signed into law in the cover of darkness and secrecy, only the President knows. If such signing did not merit media and public attention, it only goes to show that such law is not meritorious at all,” Castro said.
“The fight against the Culture of Death goes on. We can only lament that this was their gift to the Lord and to the Filipino people during Christmas season,” he added.
Sorsogon bishop Arturo Bastes blasted the President for “planting a moral time-bomb” when he signed the RH bill into law.
“Indeed, P-Noy will be known as the RH president, which is not a title of honor. His conscience will be bothering him day and night because he has planted a moral time bomb in our Catholic country,” said Bastes.
“Our opposition to that immoral law will persist,” he added.
Boncan said the drop in the President’s approval ratings was due to his “lack of vision” and his “wrong priorities.”
“Instead of the RH bill, the FOI (freedom of Information) bill and the anti-dynasty bills should have been given priority,” he said.
“It will definitely affect his (Liberal Party) candidates and Catholic Vote Philippines will not make people forget this come election time,” Boncan added.

4 Pampanga residents ask SC to stop case vs Arroyo

Saying they have been deprived of congressional representation, four Pampanga residents have sought to intervene in the petition of former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the Supreme Court to stop the Sandiganbayan from proceeding with the plunder case against her involving the alleged misuse of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) contingency funds.
The petitioners also sought the release of the Arroyo from detention at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City where she was brought back last month after being charged of plunder, this time in the Office of the Ombudsman.
In a Dec. 20 petition for intervention, Rico Manulid Ocampo, Eugene Paul Ponio, Marcelo Rivera Valencia and Joaquin Mañalac identified themselves as residents of the second district of Pampanga where Arroyo is currently a representative. They claimed to have voted for her in the last election.
The petitioners from Guagua, Pampanga, said Arroyo had “not fully devoted her time serving her district” since she was first charged for electoral sabotage in November 2011. After being granted bail, she was back in detention for the plunder case filed against her in relation to the alleged misuse of PCSO funds.
Deprived of rep’s service
“Due to the nonbailable cases against her…the intervenors are begging the indulgence of the honorable court to allow them to intervene in the instant case because they have been deprived of being served by their incumbent representative in the House of Representatives,” they said.
The petitioners also said they believe the charges against her were “politically motivated” and she had been denied due process.
In their petition, the four men asked the high court to “immediately issue a temporary restraining order and/or a writ of preliminary injunction enjoining the respondent Ombudsman from prosecuting the case, and the respondent Sandiganbayan from proceeding with the case and from continuing with the arrest and detention of Arroyo.”
Humanitarian reasons
While the TRO is in effect, they asked the high court to issue an order releasing Arroyo from arrest and detention “for humanitarian considerations due to her medical condition and stature as former President of the Philippines.”
They also sought the court to eventually annul and set aside the Ombudsman’s findings of probable cause to charge Arroyo with plunder and to order the Sandiganbayan to dismiss the case against her.
The high court is currently on a Christmas break.
Only last week, the Sandiganbayan had denied Arroyo’s request for a Christmas furlough. She had wanted to spend the Yuletide in her home in Lubao, Pampanga, from Dec. 21 to Jan. 7.

CAMI launches book of Kapampangan journalists

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO–The Capampangan In Media, Incorporated (CAMI) launched a 75-page book of Kapampangan Journalists which asserts and proclaims that Pampanga was a cradle of Philippine Journalism during the Most Outstanding Kapampangan Awards (MOKA) night yesterday.
Jose P. Cortez, CAMI secretary general, said that each page of the book is a veritable treasure trove of historic gems that were hidden, but added, it was fortunately found in their painstaking search for the roots of Capampangan journalism.
“Dacal pung salamat quing biniye yung tiyempo quecami, banting upayang aipaquilala miya ing maimpis dapot maulagang librung pipawasan ming seliksik quing caquewan da ring documentong macasalicut caring cumbento at biblioteca da ring miyayaaliuang congregacion at orden da ring kaparian (Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to present the thin but an important book of our history which we have painstakingly searched for the Capampangan journalism which were hidden in old churches and congregations),” Cortez said.
The book bared that the first xylographic printing presses were introduced in La Pampanga and operated in Manila, Lubao, Bacolor and Abucay, Bataan.
It says that the father of Philippine journalism, Tomas Pinpin is a Capampangan, taught by the Dominicans in the processes of printing. He produced the first newsletter, Succesos Felices antedating Western publications by scores of years
Many Kapampangans wrote in Spanish and for Spanish newspapers, despite the harsh censorship during the three centuries the country was under Spanish dominion.
It was in the latter part of the 19th century, that the genius of Kapampangan writers-revolutionaries like Juan Crisostomo Soto and the brothers Tolentino blossomed and poured forth their longings for freedom and independence from colonialism.
It says that Kapampangans like Jose Alejandrino wrote for La Solidaridad and helped Jose Rizal in publishing the latter’s novels.
The book also bared that Andres Bonifacio, the Katipunan Supremo, was of Kapampangan lineage, a scion of proletariats from Masantol, Pampanga.
“We have a noble heritage to nurture and the Kapampangan nation, though scattered throughout the whole world, has reason to be proud,” Cortez added.
The officers and directors of CAMI are as follows: Crispulo Icban Jr., chairman; Fred dela Rosa,
vice-chairman; Federico Pascual Jr., president, Ernie Tolentino, vice-president; Ashley Jay Manabat, VP for provinces; Jose Cortez, secretary general; Dionisio Pelayo, treasurer; Vittorio Vitug, auditor; and directors John Manalili, Al Pedroche, Jake Espino, Antonio Lozano, Fred Roxas , Virgilio Vitug and Max Sangil.

Woodcarvers to host first ever ‘Dukit Festival’

GUAGUA, Pampanga — Local wood carvers here will be hosting the first-ever ‘Dukit Festival’ today to promote more interest into woodcarving and attract tourist attention into the different artistic disciplines of the woodcarving industry here.
The event will be held at Sta. Ursula Betis here with the participation of the best woodcarvers of the district.
The event is mostly a private sector initiative led by the Wood Carvers Guild of Sta. Ursula Betis and Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines-Pampanga Chapter.
Presidential Merit Awardee for Ecclesiastical Art Willy Layug, chairperson for the event, said that the activity aims to attract more of the younger generation into woodcarving.
The Betis District of this town is known for its woodcarving industry that has grown from furniture, religious and installation art.
Woodcarving has become a major industry here generating millions each year.
However, Layug laments that lesser younger people are going into the trade, adding that there are also less attention towards the continuing education of woodcarvers as artists rather than mere craftsmen.
“The event hopes to highlight the creative and artistic aspect of the craft and attract more people into this art form. We hope also hope to bring woodcarving here into a whole new level and bring more attention towards education and improvement of skills of woodcarvers and attract tourists and buyers,” Layug said.
Myrna Bituin, one of the organizers of the event, said the activity will include an exhibit of the best works of Betis woodcarvers. The highlight of the event will be an on the spot wood carving contest to be participated by local woodcarvers competing under a specific theme.
“We hope to make this a community event eventually in the coming years. We will start by organizing the ranks of woodcarvers, furniture makers and religious art makers,” Bituin said, adding that woodcarving will be celebrated for its contribution to the community here and providing an avenue for livelihood and creative output of the residents.

Because of this, she is now referred to as the “Guardian of Kapampangan Kitchen.”
In the field of education, Dr. Leonardo C. Canlas who won the Moka award is well-loved family man, a prominent and highly respected educator and leader because of his shared brilliance and humility to serve the Department of Education.
