MARKET CONSULTATION. Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan (center) leads officials of the city government, including Chief of Staff Alex Cauguiran (left)and City Adminstrator Atty. Dennis Albert Pamintuan in a consultative meeting with officials and members of various Pampang Public MarketAssociations and Sections. The meeting was held in order to find common ground and commitment in improving the cleanliness, sanitation,hygiene, proper waste disposal, order and discipline in the operation of the public market. PHOTO COURTESY OF ANGELES CIO

ANGELES CITY – In an attempt to im-prove the state of the Pampang PublicMarket, Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan or-ganized a consultative meeting with thevendors and stall owners of the said mar-ket on Wednesday at the Shanghai Pal-ace Restaurant, Balibago, this city.

According to Pamintuan, there is agenuine need to improve the way ven-dors work and manage their business-es, especially in terms of cleanliness andorderliness to create a better environmentfor both patrons and sellers of the mar-ket.

This was also expressed by the mayorin his 2012 State of the City Address(SOCA) last July.

City holds consultative meeting with market vendors“We have visited several public mar-

kets, including Pangasinan’s and Bal-anga’s to observe their good practicesin maintaining cleanliness and order intheir respective public markets. Wethought that if they can do it, there is noreason that we also can,” Pamintuansaid.

He also added that politics has noth-ing to do with the consultative meetingconducted.

“Long after we [public officials] aregone, the vendors of the public marketare still going to stay. It doesn’t matterwho the mayor or officials will be in thefuture – the issue we are tackling todaywill benefit you, the vendors, and not us,

in attracting more market goers to boostyour sales further.” Pamintuan explained.

Alexander Cauguiran, Pamintuan’schief of staff, chaired the consultativemeeting and provided several observa-tions about the city’s public market cit-ing both good and bad practices that needto be restructured.

“Stall owners and vendors have tokeep in mind that the public market inPampang is also your second home –and we should not treat our homes theway they are being treated today,” Cau-guiran stressed.

The chief of staff also proposed ex-tensive short-term, medium-term andlong-term recommendations to both the

vendors and market officials that shouldbe practiced and implemented in all sec-tions of the market.

These proposals include the properdisplay of goods, handling and disposalof innards & blood, the installation of tem-porary plastic flooring panels along al-leyways, implementation of product price-tagging and labeling, and even the es-tablishment of a central evisceration areafor meat cutting.

The presentation ended with anopen forum where the stall owners, ven-dors and market administrators sharedtheir suggestions on what they coulddo to promote cleanliness in their work-place.

MALOLOS—Sa ikatlongpagkakataon, inangkin ng Dr.Yanga’s Colleges Inc., (DYCI)ang kampeonato sa PhilippineRobotics Olympiad (PRO) upangkatawanin ang bansa sa pan-daigdigang kampeonato sa loobng susunod na apat na taon.

Sa pangalawang magkasun-od na pagkakataon, dalawangkoponan mula sa nasabingpaaralan ang katatawan sa ban-sa sa World Robotics Olympi-ad (WRO) na isasagawa sa Kua-

la Lumpur Malaysia sa Nobyem-bre 8 hanggang 12.

Ito ay ang mga koponangDYCI Primes na binubuo ng tat-long mag-aaral sa sekundarya;at DTYCI Magnetics na binubuong mga mag-aaral sa elementa-rya.

Ang DYCI Primes na kinabib-ilangan nina Chelsea AndreaMorales, Claire Recelli Renosa,at Trisha Carmela Santos aysumungkit ng ikatlong kampe-onato sa PRO.

Ang DYCI Magnetics namanna nakasungkit ng ikalawangkarangalan sa PRO-elementary

category ay binubuo nina ReyAllen Infante, Ma. Anne GelineDoneth dela Rama, at Ma.Sophia Kyle Bravo.

Ang tunggalian sa PRO ayisinagawa sa Cyberzone ng SMNorth Edsa noong Biyernes,Setyembre 7.

Ayon kay Romyr Gimeno,tagapagsanay ng DYCI Primes,ang pagwawagi ng koponan ayhatid ng robot na tinawag nilangHERO na ang ibig sabihin ayHumanoid for Education Rein-forcement Operations.

Ang paglikha kay HERO aybinigyang inspirasyon ng Kari-

ton Revolution na pinasimulan niEfren Penaflorida na tinanghalna CNN Hero.

“HERO is an upgrade of EfrenPenaflorida’s kariton revolutionand we call it “Kariton Robolusy-on because our robot is de-signed to assist teachers,” aniGimeno.

Ipinaliwanag niya na siHERO ay may kakayahang tu-ruan ang mga mag-aaral ng mgasimpleng paksa sa Ingles,agham at matematika.

Sa kalagayang ito,makakatambal ng guro si HEROupang maghahatid ng dagdagnakaalaman sa mga mag-aaral.

Ayon pa kay Gimeno, maykakayahan din si HERO na mag-bigay ng paperless quiz sa mgamag-aaral, magpakita ng mgaeducational videos, at maaaringmakipaglaro ng mga electronicgames.

Kung mataas naman angmakukuha ng mag-aaral sa pag-susulit sa tatlong nabanggit nakurso, nagbibigay si HERO ngkendi. Kung mainit naman angpanahon, may sensor si HEROupang magbigay ng pinalamigna bottled water.

Ayon kay Gimeno, gumugolsina Morales, Renosa, Santossa pagbuo at pagpoprogramakay HERO ng walong oras mulaLunes hanggang Biyernes, at 14na oras naman kung Sabado atLinggo.

Ang team leader na si Mo-rales at kasaping si Renosa aykapwa bahagi ng koponangDYCI Primes na lumahok saWRO na isinagawa sa Abu Dhabinoong nakaraang taon kungsaan sila ay pumang-apat atnag-uwi ng isang dagdag na es-pesyal na pagkilala.

Si Santos naman ay nagingbahagi ng koponan ng DYCI nalumaban sa First Lego LeagueWorld Food Festival na isinaga-wa sa St. Louis, Missouri saEstados Unidos sa unang baha-gi ng taon kung saan ay tumang-

gap din ng espesyal na paran-gal ang kaniyang koponan.

Ang dati namang team cap-tain ng DYCI na si Nerrisa Nico-las na nagwagi sa WRO noong2010 ang nagsilbing tagapag-sanay ng DYCI Magnetics.

Si Nicolas ay kasalukuyangnasa unang taon ng pag-aaral ngComputer Science sa DYCI.

Sa kabila ng kabataan, gin-abayan ni Nicolas ang mgamas nakababatang kasapi ngDYCI Magnetics. Si Infante aykabilang sa koponang pang-el-ementarya ng DYCI na luma-hok sa WRO noong nakaraangtaon.

Katulad ng DYCI Primes,gumugol din ng mahabang orasang mga kasapi ng DYCI Mag-netics sa pagbuo sa robot na si“Eve.”

Ayon kay Gimeno, si “Eve”ay isang “Cu-bot” or curator ro-bot na may kakayahang uma-siste sa pagbibigay ng mga im-pormasyong pangkasaysayanat pangkultura.

Ang ika-11 PRO ay mulinginorganisa ng First in Education-al Learning Trends Always (FEL-TA), Department of Science andTechnology (DOST) at ng Sci-ence Education Institute (SEI).

Ang DYCI ay unang lumahoksa nasabing kumpetisyon noong2008 kung kailan sila ay pu-mang-apat.

Noong 2009 at 2010, nama-yani ang DYCI sa PRO at nag-ing kinatawan ng bansa sa WROnoong mga taong iyon.

Sa tunggalian sa WROnoong 2010 sa SMX ConventionCenter, nasungkit ng DYCI angkanilang unang kampeonato sapamamagitan ng robot natinawag nilang “PNoy.”

Noong nakaraang taon, mul-ing lumahok sa WRO ang DYCImatapos makuha ang ikalawangkarangalan sa PRO, ngunit pu-mang-apat lamang sila sa mun-do bukod sa pagtanggap ngisang special award.

“By October, saluyotpandesal ang ilulunsadnamin, at yung pinakbetay early next year, bakasa January,” aniya.

Ang magkasunod ngpaglulunsad ay bahagi ngpatuloy na inobasyon ngEnlin’s sa industriya ngpanaderya sa lalawigan.

Una rito, inilunsad nilaang mga pandesal na maysangkap na malunggay,kalabasa at ampalayanoong 2008.

Ang mga nasabingpandesal ay nasimulannang ibenta ng Enlin’s sakanilang mga sangay saHagonoy, lungsod ng Mey-cauayan at sa punong tin-dahan sa Barangay Pinag-bakahan sa lunsgod ngMalolos.

“Nahihirapan daw mag-pakain ng gulay ang mgananay sa mga anak nila,

kaya sinubukan naminang mga vegetable flavorpandesal,” ani Dumlao.

Inihalimbawa niya angpandesal na may sangkapna ampalaya na ayon sakanya ay pabor din sa mgamay sakit na diabetes.

Ipinagmalaki niDumlao na sariwang am-palaya ang kanilang iniha-halo sa nasabing pande-sal. Kung lasa naman angpag-uusapan, tiniyak niyana hindi ito mapait. “La-sang pandesal pa rin, peronanduon na yung sustan-siya ng ampalaya,” aniya.

Iginiit pa ni Dumlao naang inobasyong isinasaga-wa nila ay isang tugon nilasa mahigpit na kumpetisy-on ng mga panaderya saBulakan.

Inayunan din ito ninaTeresita Boado, angtagapagtatag ng Bara-soain Bakeshop na ma-higit ng 50 taon sa indus-triya. Iginiit niya na anginobasyon ay maghahatidng mas mataas na kalidadng produkto ng mga pa-naderya sa lalawigan.

ANGELES CITY- The bodies ofa 13-year-old grandson of CebuRep. Eduardo Gullas and hisKorean classmate were recov-ered after they drowned in thedeep waters of the Lawaan Fallsin Morong, Bataan lastWednesday.

Jose Llarves of the law en-forcement department of the Sub-ic Bay Metropolitan Authority(SBMA) identified Gullas’s grand-

Cebu solon’s grandson drowns in falls in Morong, Bataanson as Kyle Gullas Weckman.The identity of the Korean boywas not immediately available.

Llarves said the two boyswere among the pupils, mostlyforeigners, from the Cebu Inter-national School who went on afield trip to the Subic area. Hesaid that the victims were report-edly swept by strong currents inthe river and drowned.

He said that while the site ofthe accident was within Morong,Bataan, the route to it was

through Subic Freeport.The Korean boy’s body was

recovered on the same day,while that of Weckman’s wasfished out by SBMA rescuers atabout 8:25 a.m. yesterday.

A senior staff of Gullas, whoasked not to be named for lackof authorization to speak in be-half of the bereaved family, saidWeckman was the only child ofDr. Jackie Gullas Weckman,daughter of the Cebu solon’syounger brother Dr. Jose Gullas.

“The boy has an Americanfather and is an American citi-zen born in the US,” the staffsaid. On the other hand, Jackieis an official of the University ofthe Visayas which is owned bythe Gullas family.

Confusion initially arose onthe location of the accident,amid reports that the field trip’sdestination was Pampanga,prompting police authorities toinvestigate incidents in a resortin Kalayaan Village whose name

resembles that of the falls inSubic.

Tourism officials alsochecked records of trekkers toMt. Pinatubo but no accidentwas reported.

Gullas is on his last congres-sional term in Cebu’s fist districtand is fielding his 26-year-oldgrandson Gerald Anthony “Sam-sam” Gullas to run for his postnext year. He is reportedly eye-ing the mayoral post in TalisayCity.

PLARIDEL, Bulacan—Sinisi ngmga magsasaka at residente samga bayan ng Plaridel, Bustosat Guiguinto ang bagong bukasna Plaridel Bypass Road samalalim na pagbahang hatid nghabagat noong Agosto sa da-hilan na hinarang nito ang mgadaluyan ng tubig.

Sa kanyang pahayag sa mgakasapi ng Sangguniang Pangla-lawigan (SP), sinabi ng mag-sasakang si Carlos Dimaapi ngbayang ito na ang bahang hatidng habagat ang kauna-unahanna nagpalubog sa kanila.

Ilan sa kanyang mgainilarawan ay ang malalim nabaha na nagpalubog sa baran-gay Camachilihan sa Bustos atmga barangay ng Bulihan,Bagong Silang at San Jose sabayang ito.

“Hindi kami dating binabaha,pero nitong habagat, lumubogkami lalo na ang Bustos. Inire-

reklamo ng mga tao na pati loobng bahay nila ay pinasok ngbaha,” ani Dimaapi sa pulong naisinagawa ng SP noong Set-yembre 5.

Isa sa mga sinisisi ni Dimaa-pi at mga residente ay ang kon-struksyon ng Plaridel BypassRoad na binuksan ng Depart-ment of Public Works and High-ways nitong Marso 20 na nag-ing sanhi naman ng pagluwag ngdaloy ng trapiko sa barangayTabang, Plaridel at Sta. Rita saGuiguinto.

Inayunan din ito ni LizaSacdalan, ang tagapangulo ngPlaridel-Guiguinto Irrigators As-sociation.

Ayon kay Sacdalan, magingang mga barangay sa Guiguin-to tulad ng Daungan ay lumubogsa malalim na baha.

Isa sa tinukoy niyang dahilanay ang maliliit na daluyan ngtubig na inilagay ng kontraktorsa ilalim ng Plaridel Bypassroad.

“Maliliit ang tosang na inil-agay nila kaya mabagal angpagdaloy ng tubig at bumaha,’ani Sacdalan.

Idinagdag pa niya na bukodsa maliliit, ang mga nasabingtosang ay mataas.

“Pag tag-araw, hindi kamimakakuha ng tubig dahil napa-kataas ng tosang at pagbuma-ba ng konti ang tubig ay di nadadaloy,” aniya.

Kung panahon naman ngtag-ulan, kailangang higit na lu-malim ang tubig bago dumaloydahil sa pagiging mataas ngtosang sa orihinal na daluyan ngtubig.

Ayon kay Sacdalan, magingang kanyang ama na unang na-glinang ng kanilang bukirin aykinakabahan na hindi mapakin-abangan ang bukirin sa mgasusunod na panahon.

“Tiyak daw na lagi na langlulubog ang bukid namin, atkung tag-araw ay mas mala-mang na kapusin sa tubig,”

CABANATUAN CITY - A sus-pect in the robbery slay of aJapanese engineer four yearsago, who tops this city’s mostwanted persons list, was col-lared by police operatives atPurok 6, Barangay BagongSikat here on Monday, policereported Wednesday.

Supt. Eli Depra, city policechief, identified the suspect asLauro Javier, 43, a resident ofthe same place.

The suspect was arrestedby a combined force from thecity police and the Criminal In-vestigation Team - Nueva Eci-ja on the strength of a warrantof arrest issued by RegionalTrial Court Branch 30 JudgeVirgilio Caballero in January2012, Depra said.

Police records showedthat Javier was allegedly oneof two suspects who robbedand killed Junichi Itoh, 45, inBarangay Patalac here onMarch 5, 2008. Itoh was a Jap-anese mechanical engineerfrom Osaka, Japan who mar-ried a Filipina.

Investigation also showedthat the victim, along with in-laws had unwound in a near-by resort and were on theirway home onboard a tricyclewhen the suspects on a sin-gle motorcycle blocked theirway and at gunpoint an-nounced a hold-up.

“The victim fought backwhen one of the suspectsgrabbed his bag,” Depra said,adding that this prompted thesuspects to shoot the foreign-er at close range.

Itoh succumbed to a bul-let wound on his face, policereported.

Depra said the case wasconsidered high profile consid-ering that the victim was a for-eign national.

Javier denied the charges.

Philippine Air FarceIT WAS one of those Balikatan or Cope Thunder Exercises and wewere viewing F-16s screaming off the runways to the blue beyond.

Ah, to have such state-of-the art aircraft, sighed us – mediamen– in collective awe.

But we do have an F-16, said Maj. Allan Ballesteros, then-ClarkAir Base Wing information officer.

Where?Right there on the tarmac. He pointed to two Vietnam War

vintage aircraft already long decommissioned.Those aren’t F-16s, they’re F-8s.So what do you make of one F-8 plus one F-8?Yeah, right. Not just the butt of, but the joke itself is the

Philippine Air Force.“All air, no force” as some wag put it most aptly.To put some force in the air, PAF ordered a fleet of Aermachii

S-211, primarily a trainer aircraft configured into fighter plane.Nowhere near the F-16 but could do – PAF said then – for guardingthe archipelago.

The joke that is PAF turned tragic with theS-211 readily dubbed “the widowmaker” for theplane’s propensity to crash.

Internet fact check now:January 14, 2002. PAF S-211 #017 crashed

into houses inside the National Food Authoritycompound in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, dueto mechanical problems after making several lowpasses over the city in a “contact proficiency” flightfrom Basa Air Base. Both pilots and three civilianson the ground were killed.

November 26, 2007. PAF S-211 #804 wentmissing after it failed to return to its Palawan baseafter a security patrol and search mission overthe disputed Kalayaan Islands in the South ChinaSea, both pilots still missing and their fateremains unknown.

July 18, 2010. PAF S-211 #024 crashed inTarlac just seven miles short from the thresholdof Clark International Airport Runway 20L due tofuel starvation. Investigators later found out thata defective hydraulic pump caused an unusualvibration that loosened the fuel lines that dumpedconsiderable amount of fuel for the return trip ofthe pilots who went to Ilocos Norte for a crosscountry navigation training flight. Both pilots safelyejected and minimal damage was incurred at thecrash site and no loss of life was reported.

April 28, 2011. PAF S-211 #020 crashed inBagac, Bataan after making several aerobaticmaneuvers over the shoreline during a “contactproficiency” flight from Clark Air Base.Investigators later found out that the aircraftentered into a high-G recovery maneuver from aloop that caused the engine to go into a high-Gstall and crashed less than a hundred metersfrom the shoreline. Both pilots died instantly.

Of PAF’s 25 S-211, the report noted, “13remain in inventory, 5 in service but only 2 areairworthy, as of July 2011.”

And more than enough crashes – and scoreskilled too – of the PAF’s Huey helicopters – againVietnam War vintage – to merit the moniker “flyingcoffins.”

A farce of a force, PAF has been for too long.The joke has to stop.

Two or three months back, we got somepleasant surprise with the arrival in Clark of fournew combat utility helicopters from Augusta PZLSwidnik of Italy and Poland, half of a batch ofeight PAF ordered back in February 2010 yet forP2.8 billion.

Aside from the eight “Sokol” – falcon in Polish– choppers, the price tag covered the pilots’training as well as maintenance and technicalsupport.

PAF said the Sokol is night vision goggle-capable, equipped with autopilot equipment, fittedwith gun mounts on both sides and canaccommodate 10.

Far superior to the Huey, in short.Then only last week, at the 51st anniversary

of PAF Air Defense Wing in Clark, PAF chief Lt.Gen. Lauro Catalino de la Cruz announced the“looming acquisition” of 12 TA-50 light attack jetsfrom South Korea.

Built by Korea Aerospace Industries andLockheed Martin of the USA, the TA-50 “is largelyderived from the F-16 Fighting Falcon,” in termsof “use of a single engine, speed, size, cost, andthe range of weapons.”

It has the standard M-197 20mm three-barrelcannon and a fire control radar system and canaccommodate the AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-airmissile and a variety of additional weapons canbe mounted to its underwing hardpoints. Reportsclaimed.

“Compatible air-to-surface weapons with theTA-50 include the AGM-65 Maverick air-to-groundmissile, Hydra 70 rocket launchers, CBU-58 andMk-20 cluster bombs, and Mk-82, -83, and -84general purpose bombs.”

So much firepower promised in the TA-50there.

“This is a realization of the dream we havedreamt a long, long time ago,” De la Cruz said.

More than that, may this be the end of PAFas a joke.

Pampangagoes Binay

THE HOOPLA of a political campaign.Thus described our front page story of the welcome

Vice President Jejomar Binay received last Mondayat the EPZA Resettlement Site in Angeles City.

The chair of the Housing and Urban DevelopmentCoordinating Council was there to distribute 175 landtitles to families at the site developed for MountPinatubo victims.

Binay may as well have come to the opening salvoof his presidential campaign.

From the time his arrival was announced – to theblare of loudspeakers playing his 2010 campaign of‘Kay Binay, Gaganda ang Buhay” – throughout theshort program, cheers from over a thousand resettledfolk filled the air.

And Pampanga’s political leaders made theirpresence felt, as much – if not less – to show theirconcern for the resettlement community as – if notmore – to express solidarity with Binay.

There was Gov. Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pineda whomBinay hailed as “sure unopposed winner” in her bidfor re-election next year.

There was Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, Binay’sconfederate in the MABINI group of human rightslawyers that stood up against the Marcos dictatorship.

There was Pamintuan’s prospective challenger in2013 – sitting 1st District Rep. Carmelo “Tarzan”Lazatin.

There was wanna-comeback- to-the-House formerRep. Francis “Blueboy “ Nepomuceno, whomPamintuan trounced in the 2010 city mayoralty contest.

There was no Mabalacat City Mayor Marino“Boking” Morales, who has long assured Binay “justcall my name and I will be there.” The veep may haveforgotten to call him this time.

Why, with but those present – and Boking – Binayis already assured of the over million votes ofPampanga and over hundred votes of the city.

So what about his prospective rival for thepresidency, the man he beat for the vice presidencyin 2010, ex-Transportation and current InteriorSecretary Mar Roxas?

With his utter inaction that led some broad basedcoalitions here to suspect him being in someconspiracy to stall the development of the ClarkInternational Airport, we can only see twilight for Roxas’presidential ambitions here.

For now, it’s Binay.

A SOVIET ROCKET crashesinto the moon's surface, becom-ing the first man-made objectsent from earth to reach the lu-nar surface. The event gave theSoviets a short-lived advantagein the "space race" and prompt-ed even greater effort by theUnited States to develop its ownspace program.

In 1957, the Soviets shockedthe United States by becomingthe first nation to launch a sat-ellite into orbit around the earth.Sputnik, as it was called, fright-ened many Americans, who be-lieved that the Soviets wouldsoon develop an entire newclass of weapons that could befired from space. U.S. officialswere especially concerned, forthe success of Sputnik was adirect rebuke to American claimsof technological and scientificsuperiority over the communist

TODAY IN HISTORY

Soviet probe reaches the moonregime in Russia. It was a tre-mendous propaganda victory forthe Soviets, and gave them anedge in attracting less-developednations into the Soviet orbit withpromises of technological aidand assistance.

The United States respond-ed by accelerating its ownspace program, and just monthsafter Sputnik, an American sat-ellite went into orbit. In Septem-ber 1959, the Soviets upped theante considerably with the an-nouncement that a rocket car-rying the flag of the Soviet Unionhad crashed onto the moon'ssurface. In Washington, a mut-ed congratulation was sent tothe Soviet scientists who man-aged the feat. At the same time,however, the United Stateswarned the Soviet Union thatsending the Russian flag to themoon gave the Soviets no terri-

torial rights over the celestialbody. Vice President RichardNixon expressed some sourgrapes by noting that it took theSoviet four tries to hit the moonand reassured Americans that"We are way ahead" in thespace race.

Nixon's reassurances aside,the Soviet success in sending arocket to the moon provokedeven greater effort by the UnitedStates to gain an advantage inthe space race. In 1960, presi-dential candidate John F.Kennedy made it one of hiscampaign themes. After winningthe election, President Kennedyincreased spending for thespace program and vowed thatAmerica would send a man tothe moon by the end of the de-cade. In 1969, American astro-naut Neil Armstrong became thefirst man to walk on the moon.

Mahabangpamamahinga

HINDI NA maaawat pa ang labanang Yeng Guiao at BlueboyNepomuceno sa pagka-congressman sa unang distrito ng Pampanga.Pero huwag parin natin alisin sa eksena ang kasalukuyangcongressman na si Carmelo Lazatin dahil hindi pa nag-uumpisa angfiling ng certificate of candidacies.

Lazatin at Nepomuceno. Tignan mo nga naman talaga ang pulitika,dating magkaaway ng mortal pero ngayon ay posibleng magingmagkasangga. Sadyang ganyan nga siguro ang “lumang” pulitika.

Oo magkaaway sila dahil si Lazatin ang nagbulgar sa halos lahatng anomalya ng administrasyong Blueboy Nepomuceno: 1. Tarzanturns tables on Nepo, calls his successor ‘illogical’ (Punto, Nov. 26,2008); 2. Tarzan calls Nepo projects ‘overpriced’ (Feb. 16, 2009); 3.Tarzan, Nepo trade barbs (July 10, 2009); 4. Tarzan, Nepo trade barbson P813-M sports complex (Aug. 26, 2009).

Noong Nobyembre 2008, sinabi ni Lazatin na“mismanaged” ang city hall sa ilalim ngpamamahala ni Blueboy. Ibinulgar ni Lazatin nadelayed lagi ang sweldo ng mga empleyado ngcity hall, pagbili ng mga mamahaling baril, mgaloans o utang na hindi dapat inutang dahilmahihirapan ang lungsod na bayaran ito , at angmga daan-daan umanong ghost employees sapayroll ng mga division chiefs at ilang mgakonsehal.

Sumunod na banat ng kongresista noongPebrero 2009: “I could not imagine that two smallrooms for the taxpayers’ lounge could cost P10million.” Pagkatapos ay ang paghimok niya kayMr. Blue na maglabas ng calamity fund para sapagsasaayos ng dike na dinadaluyan ng Balibagocreek.

Sinabi din ni Lazatin na: “The mayor doesn’tknow what he is doing.” Ito ay tungkol sa mahigitP800 milyong sports complex project ni Nepo nainutang sa Land Bank of the Philippines angpondong pagpapagawa nito.

Hindi pa kasama dito ang reklamo ng mgaresidente at ibat ibang mga grupo. Ilan sa mgaito ay ang : hindi mabayarang utang sa basurasa Kalangitan Landfill, utang sa Angeles Electricna naging dahilan upang maputulan ng kuryenteang buong city hall, ang P4.8-million na halagang apat na motorsiklong binili ni Blueboy para samga pulis, ang proyektong pang agrikultura nakung saan mas marami pa ang nag-aalaga ngbaboy kesa sa mga inaalagaang baboy (‘GHOST

EMPLOYEES’ UNDER BLUEBOY: 108 workerstake care of 100 pigs [Punto July 2, 2010]).Napaka-baboy talaga.

Ito ang sinasabing mga dahilan kung bakitnatalo ng humigit kumulang sa 30,000 na botosa pagka-alkalde si Blueboy Nepomuceno kayAngeles City Mayor Ed Pamintuan.

Ang sagot naman ng kampo ni Blueboy kayLazatin: “Kalwat ng makalukluk Mayor Tarzananjang covered court mu ala yang apagawa(antagal na nakaupo ni Tarzan bilang mayor perokahit isang covered court wala siyangnaipagawa)”.

Kung iisipin at babalikan natin ang mga taonna pinamahalaan nila, parehong may katotohananang bintang ng magkabilang kampo sa bawat isa.Mas malala nga lang ng konti noong panahon niMr. Blue.

Pero ngayon ay magsasanib umano sila sapwersa. Sa anong dahilan? Mr. Blue, ano kamo?“Para sa mabuting pamamahala (goodgovernance)?” Aba, nananaginip ka yata?

Hindi ulyanin ang mga Angeleño upangmakalimutan ang mga “milagro” at “kababalaghan”na ginawa mo sa lungsod.

Sa mga residente ng unang distrito ngPampanga, kayo na ang bahalang humusga. Mga“TraPo” na may masamang agenda, nararapatlamang na sila’y bigyan ng mahabangpamamahinga. Kabataan na botante ngPampanga, malaki ang magagawa ninyongpagpapasya.

Punto! Central Luzon: September 14, 21 & 28, 2012

This was how Ebdane,who had been publicworks secretary during theArroyo administration, re-acted to a report of Philip-pine Drug EnforcementAgency (PDEA) directorLyndon Aspacio on theworsening drug abuse cas-es in Central Luzon during

FROM PAGE 1

Drug test proposed for 2013 candidatesthe inter-agency meetingof Central Luzon’s Region-al Peace and order Coun-cil (RPOC).

Ebdane urged theRPOC to ask the Com-mission on Elections(COMELEC) to makedrug test a requirement forall politicians filing candi-dacies in next year’spolls.

“We need to make surethat all our leaders areclear from illegal drugs,”Ebdane stated.

Jun Gonzales, office-in-charge of the provincialprosecutor’s office said asimilar proposal wasmade years ago but thiswas junked amid lack oflegislation.

“The move was thought

to be unconstitutional be-cause such requirement isnot cited in the Constitu-tion,” Gonzalez said.

However, Ebdane saidthat if his proposal couldnot be adopted officially,candidates should at leastbe encouraged to voluntar-ily subject themselves toa drug test “to show thepeople their sincerity to

fight illegal drugs in thecountry.”

“A voluntary test wouldalso tell us who are thosewho refused to be testedand enable us to ask why,”Ebdane noted.

Pampanga Gov. LiliaPineda expressed supportfor Ebdane’s proposal,saying it would be an ef-fective way to curb thedrug menace in the coun-try.”

Superintendent EdgardoTinio during a peace andorder council meeting atthe Executive House, Cap-itol grounds Thursday.

Pineda said the cour-tesy call of the new PDEAchief in Region III is timelyas it coincided with thescheduled conference ofthe police chiefs from the19 towns and two cities ofthe province.

Aspacio said PDEA isasking for the continuouscooperation of the Philip-pine National Police (PNP)in the province to strength-

PDEA designates new chief in C. Luzonen their fight against theproliferation of illegaldrugs.

The new PDEA headthanked the governor forgiving him the chance tomeet the local chiefs ofpolice.

According to Aspacio,the PDEA together withthe PNP and the ArmedForces of the Philippines(AFP), should display aunited front to lessen if nottotally eradicate the exist-ing drug problems in theprovince.

“Let us help each oth-er and collaborate to main-tain the quality of life of the

Capampangans and toensure the security of theirfamilies and homes,”Aspacio appealed.

The new director alsourged the PNP officers tocomplement and combinetheir resources with theagency to fortify their ca-pabilities during opera-tions.

“We should be firm. Wemust show the citizensthe certainty of arrest andpunishment for perpetra-tors,” the director said.

The PDEA officials alsodisclosed the plans toclosely monitor the Dios-dado Macapagal Interna-

tional Airport (DMIA) for itspotential as an entry pointfor illegal drugs.

For her part, Gov. Pine-da said drug use is usual-ly the cause of heinouscrimes committed in theprovince.

“We should always bevigilant and keep a watch-ful eye to ensure the safe-ty of Capampangans,” shesaid.

The governor added,coordination between thelaw enforcers and localgovernment units is alsocrucial in the fight againstillegal drugs.

“Isang buwan bago ani-hin yung first crop, pwedenang magpunla ang mgamagsasaka dun sa 30 per-cent ng bukid na di tinani-man, para pagkatapos nganihan ay ready na fortransplantation yung bin-hi,” ani Nangel.

sa pamamaraang ito,makakatipid ang mag-sasaka ng tubig na gag-amitin para sa dalawangbuwan.

Ipinayo rin niya sa mgamagsasaka na gamitinang tubig sa paligid ngkanilang sakahan upangmatugunan ang posiblengpagkakapos nito sa pana-hon ng El Niño.

Bukod dito, ipinaalalani Nangel ang paggamit ngmga fast-maturing variet-ies o mga binhing mad-aliang mamunga.

Hinggil sa pamamaha-la sa mga dam, sinabi niNangel na buo na rin angkanilang plano.

Bilang dating tagapam-ahala sa Upper Pampan-ga River Irrigation System

(UPRIS) na nakabase saNueva Ecija, ipinaliwanagni Nangel na dapat ay ban-tayan ang mga dam at tiy-aking sapat ang tubig ngmga ito.

Para sa irigasyon, ipi-nayo niya ang pagpapatu-pad ng Irrigation WaterManagement (IWM).Kabilang dito ay ang pam-amaraang pagpapatubigsa loob ng apat na arawat di pagpapatubig sa loobng susunod na tatlongaraw.

Ang iba pang pam-amaraang itinatampok saIWM ay ang rotational irri-gation, muling paggamitng tubig na ginamit sa iri-gasyon at paggamit ngmga portable waterpumps. –Dino Balabo

nagsimulang matsismis ang pagtitiyaga ni Xian sa panliligaw, pagpapadala ngflowers sa dalaga at page-effort na maging close sa pamilya ni Kim.

Ngayon ay may bago na naman silang teleserye, ang Ina, Kapatid, Anakkaya naman sa cast pictorial recently ay natanong si Xian kung may an-nouncement na ba siyang maibibigay sa publiko tungkol sa status nila niKim.

“Wala pa rin po, eh,” sey niya.Naghihintay pa rin siya na sagutin ni Kim?“Ah, ayoko namang sabihin na naghihintay. ’Di ba, mas magandang sabi-

hin na we’re enjoying every moment na kung anuman ang dumating. Enjoythe show, enjoy our work, ’di ba, kasi pag nage-enjoy, ’yun na ’yun, eh.”

Pwede ba niyang sabihin na more than friends sila ni Kim ngayon perowalang commitment?

“Hindi, wala po akong sinasabing ganu’n. Ang sinasabi ko is, mas malalimna friendship. Same thing as mas malalim ang friendship namin ni Enchong(Dee), mas malalim ang friendship namin ni Maja (Salvador) because masnakikilala namin ang isa’t isa.”

Pero hindi naman niya pinapadalhan ng flowers ang iba niyang friends tulad ng ginagawa niya kay Kim, ’diba?

“Hindi ko naman mabibigyan ng flowers sina Maja or Enchong,” natatawa niyang sabi.“Because I admire Kim. Siyempre, this girl is special. If you thing someone is special, you give them flowers.

For me, ganu’n. I’m the type of guy (na mahilig magbigay ng flowers),” dagdag ni Xian.Napag-usapan nga rin ang kani-kanilang partidos at kapansin-pansin na na-win na niya ang pamilya ni Kim

dahil balitang botong-boto sa kanya ang mga kapatid ng young actress.“Ang mom ko, na-meet na rin ni Kim and even ’yung mga people close to me rin. Kasi ako naman, only child

lang naman ako, eh. Siyempre, nababaitan si Mom kay Kim, mabait namang tao talaga si Kim, eh.”Gusto ba ng mom niya na makatuluyan niya si Kim?“Si Mom naman kasi, para sa kanya, siyempre as a mother, kahit ano, whatever makes her son happy.”Samantala, malapit nang mapanood ang Ina, Kapatid, Anak sa primetime slot ng ABS-CBN. Kasama dito

nina Xian at Kim sina Enchong, Maja at ang mga veteran stars na sina Cherry Pie Picache, Pilar Pilapil, Janicede Belen, Ronaldo Valdez, Ariel Rivera at Eddie Gutierrez mula sa direksyon ni Don Cuaresma at Jojo Saguin.
