Parish Priest Bids Farewell

“Umuna ti Lamut”, such was the agenda that provides a glimmering dawn of progress to our beloved hometown. Seemingly wise and knowledgeable people simply say

“Patronize your own product” which is a reminder of the real thing to do. “Buy here! Not there!” “Walang plastikan,” “No smoking,” “Zero Waste Management”, “Saturday is the market day, and Sunday will be kept holy.” That’s all that we can do Rambakan 2015 that was just celebrated last April 18-11, 2015 showcasing our years of success and triumph is also a measure of how far we have

gone through with our worked and performances in the 9-point agenda of our Municipal Mayor for our LGU, Lamut. We are all an eye witnesses to the programs, projects and activities being performed or contracted by our labor enforcers whether successful, faulty or non-accomplished at all. And although how little we accomplished we were made aware that at least we are moving forward according to our precision. The new market will soon become a “bagsakan” center, the tourism-heritage village with the typical Ifugao “bale” or house/hamlet open as tourist stop-over, and the “pasalubong” center as a food adventure to many. Caves, waterfalls, rivers, scenic panoramas, mango groves, fi shponds, protected forest parks are all wonders to the eyes. The media and the coming in of other businesses are the promising opportunities for investment to fl ourish and these will eventually promote our hometown to become a center of trade in Ifugao. Unknowingly, these ventures become a realization of Lamut as a gateway. On motion hereof, let’s open our hearts and minds together and worked for the best we can for the sustainability of our dreams in making our hometown Lamut a cozy nook for everyone to refresh, enjoy and become happy. #Glo Ambojnon

The competition of Local Governments to win the 2015 Seal of Good Local Governance Award was recently concluded with the result showing that the Local Government of Lamut, Ifugao is the only municipality in the Province of Ifugao and is also one of the 4 municipalities in the Cordillera Administrative Region who emerged as the winner of the prestigious award. This seems to be incredible but believe it or not it really happened. This is a great honor for every citizen of Lamut to be proud of. The quest to obtain the title of the Seal of Good Local Governance is not a joke for it calls for the meeting of minds and the rolling of our sleeves. The strenuous work during the periods of implementation, monitoring, evaluation, documentation and other task initiates the highest form of dedication or passion to serve even beyond the call of duty. The LGU Department Heads together with their subordinate and the Line Agencies under the direction of the municipal mayor have sacrifi ced their time, efforts and talent deserves the recognition from the people of Lamut. Haggiyo LGU Lamut! # RBM

21st National Crime. . . . . . . ( from page 3)

T h e P h i l i p p i n e National Police in Lamut reminded motorist not to t inke r the i r ce l lphone while driving their vehicles including motorcycles. PSI Edgar Tapo said accidents due to texting or cellphone calls were recorded prompting the Sangguniang Bayan to pass an ordinance to prohibit such activities while driving.

The less than one-year ordinance imposes a 1000-peso penalty for the first offense, 2,000 pesos for second and 3,000 for third offense. Drivers of single motorcycle, tricycle and four-wheel vehicles will be apprehended for those violat ions. Since their implementations last January 2015, a total of 22 apprehensions were listed, a mere fi gure since drivers were apprehensive of the huge amount of penalty.

Although vehicular accidents in Lamut declined generally for the year 2015, accidents peaked last July due to lack of discipline of drivers, mostly single motorcycles.

“Kaya ang ginagawa namin ay nagsasagawa ng check-point tuwing hapon

No Cellphones while Driving-PNP Lamutat kung may mahuhuli kaming lasing, inimpound namin yung sasakyan at binibigyan ng citation tiket base sa municipal ordinance, tutubusin lang kapag di na lasing,” PSI Tapo said. Recedivists will be turned over to Land Transportation Office where they will be given bigger penalty.

Aside from drunk driving, drivers tend to be reckless causing self-accident or damage and injury to themselves or other people.

“ D i s c i p l i n e a n g kulang, biglang papasok sa main highway galing sa kanto, di na inoobserve yung stop-look-and-listen; nakatutok sa sinusundan, biglang liliko, di ginagamit ang flusher kaya yung minsan maraming aksidente kahit okay naman ang daan natin,” the Lamut chief of Police said.

Last September 23, two people died after a hilux vehicle owned by Oceana Gold Mining Company fl ipped over at Brgy. Sanafe, Lamut. Wrechelle Valenciano, secretary of mayor’s offi ce and Roselyn Malingan, a teacher of Ifugao State University main campus were killed in

the incident. Investigation revealed that suspect were driving at high speed and lost control of the vehicle. Two other people were injured while passenger and driver identifi ed as Esteban Bangiw were unhurt. The driver was told to be in a hurry to return to Nueva Vizcaya after giving allowance to his family in Hapid, Ifugao.

“ D i s i p l i n a s a pgamamaneho ang pairalin, observe traffic rules and regulation, slow down sa pedestrian lane at paganahin ang mga s igna l l ine ,” reminded Tapo.

A s a d d i t i o n a l precaution, PNP conducts regular meeting with tricycle drivers. Compared to single motorcycle drivers, tricycle drivers are more disciplined. An understanding was already formed to avoid top loading unless badly needed such as last trip. Passengers are limited to six passengers including the driver. Violators will be fi ned 200 pesos for fi rst offense, 300 pesos for second and 500 pesos for third offense. #Elvira M. Matabye

BANDOAugust-September 2015 3NEWS21st National Crime Prevention Week

2015 NEW APPOINTEES AND PROMOTIONS OF LGU LAMUT

(Standard Message of the PNP/NAPOLCOM)

Today, the 1st day of September, we are starting the celebration of the 21st year of the National Crime Prevention Week. Since 1994, the whole Philippines observe the Crime Prevention Week from September 1 to 7 to generate community awareness and appreciation of the importance and value of crime prevention. More importantly, it is to foster interest and participation of the general public in preventing crime, maintaining peace and

order and promoting public safety.

Nakakataba po ng puso para sa aming nasa gobyerno a t kapul isan ang inyong pakikilahok sa mga programa at proyekto upang maitaguyod natin ang kaayusan, kapayapaan at kaunlaran ng bayan. An ating tema para sa taong ito “Krimen ay Tuldukan, Karapatan ay Igalang” ay naglalayong bigyan ng pansin at pagibayuhin ang paggalang sa karapatan at mabigyan kahalagahanan ng pakikipagtulungan ng local napamahalaan, mamamayan at pulisya upang mapanatili ang

kaayusan at kapayapaan.For th i s yea r, the

celebration is focused on making the public aware of the Community and Service-Oriented Policing (CSOP) System as a crime prevention strategy. The CSOP system is about building collaborative partnership between the law enforcement agencies, local executives and community in promoting peace and order, ensuring public safety and further strengthening the local government capability for the effective delivery of the basic services to the citizenry.

NAPOLCOM and the DILG are working towards b o l s t e r i n g a s y s t e m o f coordination and cooperation among the citizenry, local executives and the integrated law enforcement and public safety agencies by prescribing CSOP as foundation and backbone of crime prevention and community policing. CSOP shall be carried out through program complementing the sharing of funds, personnel and logistics. Several initiatives are currently being carried out to ensure the success of the CSOP System.

First, the police offi cers should work towards gaining the community’s trust and

cooperation by delivering quality services and performing their duties and responsibilities with the highest degree of professionalism, discipline, integrity and competence. Ang iyong pulis ay nangangako ng maagap na pagresponde at agarang serbisyo sa inyong mga pangangailangan. However, the police offi cer must not be confi ned to his traditional role as a law enforcer. He must evolve into an active community partner in keeping with the statutory declaration that the PNP shall be a “community and service oriented agency”. Ang pulis po ngayon ay hindi lamang tagapagpatupad ng batas, kundi katuwang din sa paglulutas ng mga suliranin sa pamayanan upang matulungan ang local na pamahalaan sa pagbibigay ng mga pangunahing serbisyo sa kanilang nasasakupan.

To do this, the PNP and NAPOLCOM shall work toward providing adequate funding for personnel complement, training and logistical support to the police stations. Indeed, the police station is the face and image of the PNP in the locality for it is where basic police services are felt and experienced by the community. It is thus imperative that the thrust of modernization and professionalization of the PNP should be at the city/municipal and station levels.

Upang maisagawa po ang CSOP, asahan niyo po na sa mga sumusunod na araw, ang inyo pong kapulisan ay maglikot sa ating nasasakupan upang kamustahin at tanungin kayo tungkol sa inyong mga problema sa pamayanan. With your assistance and the local government executive’s support, your PNP will be proactive and will employ a problem solving approach in addressing crime and public safety concerns. The police will promote and protect human rights and basic freedoms in all community policing related activities. Your PNP will establish mechanisms for collaborative and cooperative endeavors for basic services

With the increasing effect of climate change, it is important to raise the awareness and capacities of children to prepare for and manage possible disasters and/or emergencies. Children were identifi ed as one of the vulnerable groups and should be equipped with the capacity to know, understand and apply safety and protection mechanisms to build the foundation of their resiliency. This is also to promote and improve the children’s/students’ level of awareness and inculcate the culture of safety in their day-to-day activities.

I n a a s a h a n n a a n g pagpapalabas ng warrant of arrest kontra sa pyramiding scam na umaabot sa daang-daang katao sa rehiyon ng Cagayan Valley at Cordillera A d m i n i s t r a t i v e R e g i o n . Matapos ang ilang buwan na pagsasampa ng kaso kontra sa suspek na si Laribel Attabal, inaasahan na National Bureau of Investigation ang pagpapalabas ng warrant of arrest mula sa korte ng Nueva Vizcaya at maging sa probinsya ng Ifugao. Matatandaang dumagsa ang halos 300 katao sa NBI sa nakaraang buwan ng Hunyo hanggang Agosto matapos maloko ng Family Futures, na isang double-your-money pyramiding scam. Karamihan sa mga naging biktima ay mula sa probinsya ng Ifugao at natangay ang humigit kumulang 70 milyong piso mula sa mga biktima.

“Malaki ang naging tiwala sa suspek kasi yung mga unang sumali ay nakatanggap naman ng benepisyo at nadoble naman talaga ang pera nila pero huli na ng malaman na naloko sila dahil wala na yung suspek,” paliwanag ni Special Investigator Augusto Bataclao.

Bagamat marami ang nagsususbong sa posibleng kinaroroonan ng suspek, negatibo naman ito sa beripikasyon ng NBI.

“ S a n a n g a m a y makapagbigay ng impormasyon sa atin na magbibigay na ng totoo at solidong impormasyon tungkol sa suspek,” dagdag ni Bataclao.

Warrant of Arrest Kontra sa Pyramid Scam, Ilalabas ng Korte

Ayon sa NBI, umaabot sa anim na raang piso ang pinakamalaking nakulimbat ng suspek na nagreklamo sa kanilang opisina, mga nagtitinda sa palengke at mga magkakapitbahay. Naging malakas umano ang hatak ng nasabing scam dahil sa testimonya ng mga unang nakatikim ng interes na ikinalat naman sa iba pang naging biktima.

Sa naturang bilang halos limang pursyento lamang ang hindi nagsumite ng kaso kontra sa suspek dahil umaasa ang mga biktima na makakuha pa rin sila ng kabayaran mula sa suspek sa oras na ito ay madakip.

Bureau of Invest igat ion, nahihikayat ang mga biktima na mag-invest ng kanilang pera at madodoble ito sa loob ng dalawang linggo o buwan depende sa napagkasunduan. Subalit wala namang maliwanag na dokumento na magpapakita sa legalidad ng nasabing kumpanya o resibo mula sa Bureau of Internal Revenue. Ang mga naunang nahikayat na mag-invest ay nadoble ang pera ang natanggap na pera subalit habang dumarami ang mga nahihikayat at nagbibigay ng kanilang pera ay biglang naglaho ang suspek na si Attabal at tatlo nitong tauhan mula sa kanilang opisina sa bayan ng Solano. Ang ibang biktima, mga produktong kape na lamang ang kanilang nakuha.

biktima ng scam, ang ibang biktima ay tumigil na rin sa kanilang mga negosyo lalo na ang mga maliliit na negosyante sa mga palengke. Ito ay dahil pinagtataguan na rin nila ang mga taong nautangan nila upang may itustos sa Family Futures. Ang ilang biktima ay misis pa ng pulis na hindi alam na dinala ang kanilang ipon na pera sa nasabing scam.

“Malaking sakit sa ulo ang idinulot ng pyramid scam na yan, “wika ni NBI Provincial Director Bensheer Apolinar “pero minsan kasi, gusto nating kumita ng malaki kaya kahit

hindi legal talaga e pumapatol tayo.”

Payo ng NBI, pag-a r a l a n g m a i g i a n g m g a negosyong pinapasok bago itaya ang pera at oras para rito. Mas maigi ring bantayan ang rehistro nito sa DTI, mayors office o sa securities and Exchange Commission. Pinakamabuti pa rin umano kung ang permiso ay mula sa tanggapan ng mayor dahil mas maraming kumpirmasyon na pagdadaanan bago mabigyan ng lisensiya ang mga ito. #Elvira M. Matabye
