-Basically its a warning na huwag pumatol sa mga modus operandi, o huwag maging drug mule.

-Ang mga basic diyan ang tinatawag na lover boy modus liligawan ang mga kababaihan tapos gagamitin bilang

drug mule.

-Aakitin sa malaking kita.

-May style sa mga OFW na magpapadala na hindi alam kung ano ang laman ng padala.

-Dapat i-check niyo mabuti kung ano ang pinadala, buksan niyo at ikaw mismo ang mag-pack ng bagahe mo.

na may kakulangan sa timbang at kailangan ng tamang nutrisyon.

Patuloy din ang pagsasagawa ng joint quarterly meetings ng mga municipal nutrition action officer (MNAOs) at

barangay nutrition scholars (BNS) upang palakasin ang mga komitiba ng nutrisyon at magkaroon ng ebalwasyon ng

mga plano at programang ipatutupad nila sa kanilang mga pamahalaang lokal.

Bukod pa dito, palagiang binibigyang diin ang kahalagahan ng pagpapasuso lalo na sa mga sanggol na may edad 0-

6 na buwan.

Nagbibigay din ang Provincial Health Office (PHO) ng Vitamin A sa ilalim ng garantisadong pambata program sa

mga batang may edad 6-11 buwan at 12-59 buwan. Isinasagawa ito dalawang beses sa isang taon, tuwing Abril at

Tagalog news: HEARTS program ng pamahalaang panlalawigan, lalong

palalakasin

By Mamerta P. De Castro

Wednesday 3rd of July 2013

LUNGSOD NG BATANGAS, Hulyo 2 (PIA) -- Mas lalong bibigyang pansin ng pamahalaang panlalawigan ang mga

programang nakapaloob sa HEARTS na kinabibilangan ng health (kalusugan), education (edukasyon), agriculture

(agrikultura), agriculture, roads/infrastructure (mga kalsada/imprastraktura), tourism at security (seguridad) sa

taong ito.

Sa panayam kay Governor Vilma Santos Recto, sinabi nito na ipagpapatuloy niya ang pagpapatupad ng mga

programang magiging kapaki-pakinabang sa mga Batangueno upang mabigyan ng maayos at masaganang

pamumuhay ang mga ito.

Aniya, sa nakaraang taon ay tinutukan nila ang pagsasaayos ng mga district hospitals, pagpapagawa ng mgagusaling pampaaralan, day care centers, health centers at maging ang mga kalsada sa buong lalawigan.

Nasa 98 porsyento na ng mga kalsada sa buong probinsya ang sementado na at ang dalawang porsiyento nito ay

kinakailangan ng mga pagsasaayos. Isa sa nakikita nilang solusyon dito ay ang pagpasok sa public-private

partnership upang magkaroon ng kaagapay sa pagpopondo at maisakatuparan ang mithiing kaunahang probinsya

na nakapagsaayos ng mga provincial roads.

Sinabi din ni Recto na pauunlarin pang lalo at bibigyang pansin ang sektor ng agrikultura sa lalawigan kung saan

binabalak na gawing moderno ang mga kagamitan para sa irigasyon at post harvest facilities. May 60 porsyento ng

lupain sa lalawigan ang agrikultural.

Isusulong din ang pagpapalakas ng turismo lalo na at maayos na ang mga kalsada. Binabalak din ang pagkakaroon

ng mga tourism policemen na syang magbibigay kaalaman sa mga turista kung saan ang magagandang lugar

pasyalan sa probinsya.

Binabalak din ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga resort owners upang magkaroon ang mga ito ng resort packages na

siyang lalong magpapalakas sa mga natatanging baybay dagat sa lalawigan tulad ng Nasugbu, Mabini, San Juan,

Calatagan at Lian.

Ayon pa sa gobernador, isa sa kanilang tinitignan ay ang pagkakaroon ng mga maayos na hotels na maaaringpagdausan ng mga conventions at maaaring magbigay ng karagdagang kita at buwis sa lalawigan.

Muli ding binigyang-diin ni Recto ang kanyang paninindigan ukol sa pangangalaga sa kapaligirang at likas na yaman

ng lalawigan.

Bukod pa rito, nagpasalamat din ang punonglalawigan sa pagsuporta ng Sangguniang Panlalawigan upang


14/35

makapagpasa ng maayos ng mga ordinansa na pakikinabangan ng mga Batangueno tulad ng environment code.

Nanawagan din ito ng pakikipagtulungan sa lahat ng mga mamamayan upang maisakatuparan ang lahat ng

magagandang plano para sa ikauunlad ng lalawigan at mga Batangueno. (CPG/MPDC-PIA4A Batangas)

During the event, the President recalled his experiences in Boston during the early 1980s after his father SenatorBenigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. was exiled to the US.

He also shared with the IP Rondalla that he was busy meeting with concerned government officials about thegovernment housing project for the families affected by typhoon Pablo.

He told the musicians that he enjoyed their performance and thanked them for sharing the Filipino culture andtraditions with the mainstream society in the US.

In 1976, a group of parents led by Cristina Castro founded the Iskwelahang Pilipino in Newton, Massachusetts in abid to create a school where their children can develop a strong positive ethnic identity and have the chance tolearn about their Filipino heritage.

At present, IP holds classes on four major programs namely music, folk dance, language and culture, and arts andcraft at the Bedford Center in Massachusetts.

In 1986, the Iskwelahang Pilipino Rondalla was established. Composed of talented student musicians, the IPRondalla's varied repertoire is drawn from the rich folk music heritage, contemporary arrangements of traditionalfolk songs and original compositions reflecting the influence of Filipino-American cultural identity.

The IP Rondalla has performed in important state-sponsored cultural events and international festivals such as theNew England Folk Festival, Newton Asian Festival, Asian American Heritage Month, Philippine Festival Week, andthe Rondalla International Festival.

The IP Rondalla July 1990 tour of the Philippines was highlighted by a special performance before then-PresidentCorazon Aquino at Malacaang Palace.

In April 1993, the group gave a special tribute performance in honor of Nitoy Gonzales, the beloved Filipino rondallamaestro, composer, and songwriter. In November that same year, the group took part in a special performance atthe Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York in honor of the visiting Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos.

The following year, the IP Rondalla was again invited to perform for President Ramos at the Westin Hotel in Boston.In 1994, the IP Rondalla went on a three-week European concert tour of Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands,Austria and England.

Their first full length CD, Crossing Over, was recorded and released in 1995. In celebration of the Centennial of thePhilippine Republic in 1998, the group completed a 3-week/18-performance tour of the Philippines highlighted by a

performance at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Also in attendance at Malacanang Palace were Cabinet Secretary Jose Rene Almendras, Social Welfare andDevelopment Secretary Corazon Soliman, Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda, and Iskwelahang Pilipinoofficials Violane Rodriguez Bailey, Cristina Castro, Maria Celia Rodis-Sipin and Lilibeth Aristorenas.

Aquino: Agencies should work together and charge 'sex-for-flight' perpetrators

President Benigno S. Aquino III instructed the Department of Labor and Employment to coordinate with theDepartment of Justice and the Office of the Executive Secretary once it has sufficient evidence to charge anyone

behind the alleged sex-for-flight scheme in the Middle East that victimized distressed overseas Filipino workers.

The President met with Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz on Tuesday who informed him about the ongoinginvestigation and the measures taken by the department in the aftermath of the revelations about the controversy.

Secretary Baldoz assured the President that no one in DOLE will be spared if the investigation yields anywrongdoing on their part, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a message to Palace reporters.

The justice department said the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Department of Labor and Employment

(DOLE) are investigating different cases of OFWs who fell victim to the scheme.

Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello had earlier revealed the alleged sex-for-flight scheme at the Philippine embassies inSaudi Arabia, Syria and Kuwait and other parts of the Middle East. Bello initially was seeking the help of theNational Bureau of Investigation in finding the truth about the reported abuses.

President Aquino said the NBI may be tapped to help in the investigation to stop the sex-for-flight schemevictimizing OFWs in the Middle East.

The President also ordered the DFA and DOLE personnel abroad to look after the welfare of some 10 million OFWsabroad. PND (as)

Filipino drug courier execution must serve as a lesson to Filipinos, says Palace

Malacanang once again warned the people not to allow themselves to be victimized by drug syndicates foolingunsuspecting Filipinos to ship illegal drugs outside the country following the execution of a female drug courier inChina Wednesday morning.

In a message, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte told reporters that the Department of Foreign Affairsconfirmed Wednesday that the Filipina drug mule has been executed.

We extend our sympathies and condolences to the family. We appeal to the media to allow the family their privacyat this difficult time. However unfortunate, we hope that this will serve as a continuing lesson to our citizens not toallow themselves to be victimized and to fall prey to these syndicates, Valte said.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said the Filipino drug courier was executed in China Wednesday morning, a dayafter meeting her family in Shanghai.

The Philippine Consulate in Shanghai is currently working for the repatriation of her remains to the country.

In a last ditch effort last week, President Benigno Aquino III tried to send Vice President Jejomar Binay to China toappeal to the Chinese government not to execute the Filipino and instead commute her sentence to lifeimprisonment.

But the Chinese government discouraged Binays trip saying the move was not timely at that time. PND (as)TOP

Magandang umaga po. Maupo ho tayong lahat.

Secretary Mar Roxas; Police Director General Alan Purisima; command staff; recipients of the Glock 17 pistols;officials and staff of the DILG PNP and NAPOLCOM; fellow workers in government; honored guests; mga minamahalko pong kababayan:

Talagang maganda po ang umagang to.

19/35

Patung-patong na problema ang ating dinatnan nang magsimula tayong manungkulan. At isa nga po sa bumulaga saating mabigat na suliranin ang hinaharap ng pambansang kapulisan. Halos 50 porsyento ng ating mga pulis angwalang baril sa serbisyo. Ibig sabihin: ang kalahati ng inyong hanay, umaasa lamang yata sa anting-anting, onananalanging huwag tablan ng bala sa oras ng engkuwentro, o madaan sa pakiusap ang pusakal na kriminal. Samatagal na panahon, para bang sinasabi nating, Tungkulin nyo ang mabilis na pagsugpo sa krimen at banta saseguridad, pero kapag kapakanan nyo na ang nakataya, magtiis kayot wag nang umasa.

Kaya talaga naman pong isang makabuluhang araw ito para sa ating pambansang seguridad. Sinimulan na po natinang distribusyon ng mga bagong unit ng 9mm na Glock 17 pistols; at hindi rin magtatagal, maipagkakaloob na rin angkabuuang 74,879 na baril sa ating kapulisan. Sa ganitong positibong pag-usad ng programa, nalalapit na tayo sa

katuparan ng layunin nating 1:1 police-to-pistol ratio. Kung mayroon pong isang tao na tiyak matutuwa sa katuparanng adhikaing ito para sa kapulisan, ito po ay ang dating Kalihim ng DILG na si Jesse Robredo. Malinaw sa kaniyangmatagal nang pinapasan ng mga pulis ang kalbaryo sa kakulangan ng armas, kaya pinangunahan niya angpaghahanap ng akmang solusyon. Hindi man natin siya kasama ngayong umaga, siguradong ipinagmamalaki niyaang tagumpay nating ito. Nagpapasalamat din tayo siyempre, kina Kalihim Mar Roxas, at Director General AlanPurisima, sa paninigurong hindi mababalewala ang pangangailangan ng ating mga alagad ng batas.

Ang inaprubahan nga po nating budget para sa pagbili ng mga baril na ito1.198 billion pesos. Dahil sa maayos attapat na bidding, nakatipid ang PNP ng mahigit 200 milyong piso. Nandiyan po ang kuwenta sa aking pong bandangkanan.

Nakabili pa tayo ng dagdag na halos 15,000 piraso ng armas. Ang maganda po: dahil sa de-kalidad at iisang klase ngbaril na ating ipagkakaloob, mas makakatipid tayo sa pagbili ng mga piyesa, pati na rin sa pagsasanay ng ating mga

pulis sa paggamit nito.

Katumbas ang pagpapaunlad natin sa inyong kapasidad, ang pag-aangat natin sa kalidad ng inyong serbisyo sasambayanan. Isipin nyo, wala man bibit na baril o kakulangan man sa armas, nagagawa pa rin ninyong magpakitanggilas. Paano pa kaya kung mayroon nang sapat at modernong kagamitan ang inyong hanay?

Patunay nga po rito si PO2 Edlyn Arbo; na walang pag-aatubiling hinarap at tinugis ang isang holdaper sa nasakyangdyip. Hindi niya inalintana ang kawalan ng baril, at natamong sugat sa engkuwentro. Tapang, pananagutan, atkasanayan bilang pulis ang tanging sandata niya para panagutin ang holdaper. Kita naman po nyo ang kababa ihan.[Applause]

Ilang beses na ring nakatanggap ng papuri si PO2 naman, Felipe Moncatar mula sa ibat ibang istasyon atorganisasyon dahil sa dami ng nahuli niyang kriminal. Ang ilan pa rito, kabilang sa most wanted persons sa Lungsod

ng Bacolod. Ang iba naman, miyembro pa ng malalaking sindikato na sangkot sa panggagahasa, pagpatay,pagnanakaw, at carnapping. Ang partida nga: Naisakatuparan niya ang matatagumpay na operasyon nang, ulit,walang dalang armas. Saludo ang buong bayan sa inyong katapangan at pananagutan; at sa buong hanay ng atingkapulisan na walang pinipiling sitwasyon at pagkakataon upang maglingkod sa kapwa at bansa.

Mar at Alan, parang hindi ko napansin doon sa report ng ating dalawang nabanggit na sila ay na- promote. Yong mgaganyang gandang gilas palagay ko naman ay talagang naman yan ang definition ng meritorious promotion, see to itthat these two are promoted. [Applause]

Edlyn, kung hindi ka pa kinakasal, si Mar Roxas puwede mag-ninong. [Laughter]

Sa katunayan, mula 319,441 na crime volume noong 2010, naipababa ninyo ang bilang na ito sa 217,812 noong2012. Idagdag pa rito ang halos 40 porsyentong pagbaba sa bilang ng carnapping, at 73 porsyentong pagbabanaman sa kaso ng kidnapping-for-ransom sa parehong panahon. Positibong datos din ang resulta ng maigtingninyong pagsagupa sa Private Armed Groups. Animnaput tatlong porsyentong kabawasan sa bilang ng grupong itoang naitala natin mula eleksyon 2010 hanggang nitong nakaraang halalan. Sa matagumpay namang operasyon ngOPLAN Katok, umabot na sa halos 465,000 unrenewed firearms licenses ang natukoy ninyo; mahigit 96,000 lisensyang baril ang ni-renew, at mahigit 6,000 baril ang kinumpiska.

Sa lahat ng tagumpay ng ating kapulisansa pagtataguyod man ng kaayusan o sa pagsugpo ng krimen, hanggangsa pagsagip ng mga kababayan nating sinalanta ng kalamidadnagpapasalamat tayo sa dedikasyon atpropesyunalismo ng mga alagad ng batas.


20/35

Kaya naman pursigido ang pamahalaan na paunlarin at patatagin ang pambansang kapulisan. Kaakibat ngdistribusyon ng mga bagong baril, isinusulong na rin natin ang PNP Operational Transformation Plan para sa 2013hanggang 2016. Bahagi nito ang pagdaragdag ng 15,000 non-uniformed personnel kada taon upang pumalit sa mgapulis sa mga gawaing administratibo. Sa pamamagitan nito, sa halip na maghapong nakaposte sa mga presintotopisina ang ating mga pulis, magsisilbi silang karagdagang puwersa sa pagbabantay sa mga komunidad. Kasado narin dito ang pagbili natin ng 13,000 unit ng M-4 rifle para sa hanay natin sa field patrol. Tuloy-tuloy naman ang atingprogramang pabahay para maibsan ang inyong pasanin at ng inyong pamilya. Nakapagpatayo na tayo ng 21,800 natahanan sa unang yugto ng programa para sa ating mga sundalot pulis. Mahigit 15,000 bahay na rin ang nakump letonatin sa Phase 2, na sa duluhan ay aabot ng 31,200 ang Phase 2. Kasama na ring maninirahan sa maitatayongpamayanan ang mga kawani ng BFP, BuCor, at BJMP sa buong bansa.

At siguro naman itong mga komunidad na ito ang pinakaligtas sa buong Pilipinas dahil puro sundalo, pulis, Bureau ofCorrections personnel, BJMP personnel, at kung saka-sakali minalas ka, Bureau of Fire personnel ang katapat mosa komunidad na to.

Sa mga reporma at tagumpay na ito, inaasahan kong patuloy na pangungunahan ng ating mga alagad ng batas angpagsupil sa krimen at transaksyunalismo. Wala nang puwang sa ating kapulisan ang mga nagsisiga-sigaan salansangan o padrino pa ng masasamang elemento. Patuloy nating ibabantayog ang dangal at integridad ng inyonghanay; at sa mga hindi pa rin tumitino, sisiguruhin kong preso, na ating pong pinalalawak, ang susunod ninyongdestino.

Kompiyansa po tayong sa paglilinis at pag-aangat ng antas ng inyong serbisyo, lalo pang aarangkada ang atingpambansang kapulisan. Puspusan namang kikilos ang gobyerno upang suklian ang inyong makabuluhangpaglilingkodkayo na handang masugatan sa bakbakan at sumuong sa anumang peligro, mailigtas lamang ang

kapwa Pilipino. Patunayan nating laging nasa panig ng katwiran ang ating kapulisan; patuloy nating tutukan angkapakanan ng ating mga tunay na Hepeang sambayanan. Sabay-sabay nating asintahin at tunguhin ang katuparanng ating kolektibong adhika para sa minamahal nating bansa.

Yong Transformational Plan, may budget ho tayong hinanda ng nine bilyon peso s para dito, at nang naaprubahan honatin yanmagaling po ang teamwork ni Secretary Roxas at Director General Purisimanang natapos po siSecretary Roxas, tumungo naman sa akin si Director General Purisima at sinabi, Sir, hindi pa kasama ang mgahelicopter na kailangan namin. Sabi ko, Okay kayo. Hindi nyo mininsanan, hinati nyo nang naaprubahan yong isa.Malamang maaprubahan na rin yong pangalawa. Sana naman hindi sumunod si Deputy -Director General AgerOntog. Baka may nakalimutan yong dalawa, may pangatlo na namang hihiritin. Magkukulong na ako sa kuwarto ko.[Laughter]

Anyway, ulitin ko po: Alam nyo noong mas bata ako, naalala ko po isang konsepto. Sa isang district dito sa NCR may

tinatawag na rights. Sabi ko, Anong rights? Pag may nagretirong kapulisan, dahil kulang nga iyong kagamitan, aybinibili doon sa nagreretiro yung karapatan para sa kanya ilisan o ilipat yong baril doon sa walang baril.

Sabi ko, Yong pulis tila nagkaroon tayo ng iskandalo noong araw na pagpapasok sa serbisyo ay katakot-takot raw nauutangin ng maraming babayaran para makapasok. Unang tatlong taon raw ay nagbabayad ng utang. Nangnakapasok, pababayaran mo pa sa equipment na dapat ay ipinagkaloob sa kanya. At pagkatapos non, ay maramipang ibang mga maling gawain na tila masasabi natin, Yong tagapangalaga ng ating siguridad ay wala nang napalakundi maapi.

Tapos na po ang panahon ng pang-aapi sa ating kapulisan. Magpakatotoo po tayo sa ating mga boss. At ako na hoang bahalang maniguradong talaga namang damang-dama nyo ang pag-aaruga at pagmamahal ng nagpapasalamatna sambayanan.

Magandang araw po. Maraming salamat sa inyo.

Air Force; Local Government off icials present; Honourable members of the Foreign Armed Forces Attachs; fellowworkers in government; honoured guests; mga minamahal ko pong kababayan: Magandang umaga po sa inyonglahat.

Limampung taon na ang nakakalipas mula nang rumesponde ang Hukbong Himpapawid ng Pilipinas sa dalawa sapinakatanyag nilang misyon. Una ay ang Congo Mission noong Pebrero 1963, kung saan tinulungan ng Philippine AirForce Contingent o PAFCON ang United Nations para pigilan ang paglubha ng kaguluhan sa Congo. Ito ang kauna-unahang hukbong panghimpapawid na ipinadala ng Pilipinas sa ibang bansa.

Marso naman ng 1963 nang pumutok ang Bulkang Gunung Agung sa Bali, Indonesia. Sakay ang ating Air ForceParamedics, gayundin ang medical team ng DOH, lumipad ang pitong C-47 ng ating Hukbong Himpapawid upangmagdala ng mga gamot at magbigay-lunas sa ating karatig-bansa. Mahigit labindalawang libo animnaraan (12,600)na konsultasyon, paggagamot, at operasyon, bukod pa sa labing apat na libo limamput lima (1 4,055) na imunisasyon

para sa smallpox at cholera ang matagumpay na naisagawa dahil sa Bali Mission.

Makalipas man ang limampung taon, sumasalamin pa rin ang Congo at Bali Missions sa mga batayang prinsipyongnagbibigay-direksyon sa Hukbong Himpapawid ng Pilipinas hanggang sa ngayon: Ang walang pag-aatubilingpagresponde upang ipagtanggol ang karapatan at kalayaan ng sinumang nangangailangan; ang kahandaang mag-alay ng oras at kakayahan upang bigyang-kalinga ang mga napapatumba ng sakuna, sakit o kahirapan.

Habang nagbabalik-tanaw tayo sa mayamang kasaysayan ng Philippine Air Force, may isang bagay na kapansin-pansin: kung noong 1963, may kakayahan tayong tumulong at magpadala ng mga squadron sa ibang bansa, bakitnitong mga nakalipas na dekada, tila nabalian ng pakpak ang ating Hukbong Himpapawid, at umaasa na lamang tayosa mga luma at kakarag-karag na eroplano't gamit? Nakalulungkot man pong isipin, umabot tayo sa sitwasyongganito dahil habang lasing sa kapangyarihan ang mga dating pinuno, lantaran ding nababalewala ang kapakanan atinteres ng mga kawal na Pilipino.

Ngayong umaga, sa pagdiriwang natin ng ika-animnapu't anim na anibersaryo ng Hukbong Himpapawid ng Pilipinas,bagong mukha ng gobyerno, at bagong dangal ng kasundaluhan ang humaharap sa mundo. Sa loob lamang ngtatlong taon, pinatunayan natin na ang Philippine Air Force ay muling bumabagwis tungo sa makabagong lakas, atmatatag na bukas.

Nagpapasalamat tayo sa dedikasyon at inisyatiba ni Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin upang itaas ang kakayahanat ang kalidad ng kagamitan ng ating buong kasundaluhan, gayundin sa mahusay at tapat na pamumuno niLieutenant General Lauro Catalino Dela Cruz sa inyong hukbo. Kitang-kita naman sa inyong aktibong pagtatanodkung paano ninyo pinagsisilbihan ang mga Pilipino.

Noong nakaraang taon, umabot sa mahigit dalawamput walong libo at tatlondaang (28,300) sorties, lampas isang liboat limandaang (1,500) ground operations, at halos apat na libo at pitong daang (4,700) civil military operations anginyong mga naisagawa. Bukod sa pakikibalikat ninyo sa prosesong pangkapayapaan sa Mindanao, kahanga-hangarin ang bilis ng inyong pagtugon at pagtulong kapag may banta ng bagyo o anumang sakuna. Nakakatuwa ringmakita na hindi kayo nadidiskaril sa adhika nating gawing permanente ang tapat at mabuting pamamahala.

Dahil sa maayos at masinop na pangangasiwa ng inyong pondo, ayon sa DBM, pumapalo sa 99.6 percent angfinancial obligation efficiency ng Air Force.

Bilib din po tayo sa 410th Maintenance Wing, na sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ay matagumpay na kinumpuni atpinagana ang isang C-130 transport aircraft. Congratulations! Congratulations! po sa ISO Certification na iginawad sainyo dahil dito. Mulat po tayo sa mga kasalukuyang limitasyon ng ating sandatahan, kaya naman nagpapasalamat


22/35

tayo sa inisyatiba ng Air Force na kumpunihin upang muling mapakinabangan ang ilang eroplano't sasakyan, gaya nglabimpitong M-35 trucks, isang N-22 Nomad transport aircraft, isang UH-1H Utility Helicopter, isang LC-210 aircraft atisang MG-520 attack helicopter.

Syempre, hindi maaring habambuhay na umasa na lamang tayo sa maya't mayang rehabilitasyon at pagkukumpuning kagamitan. Sa tuwing lumilipad ang Air Force, nakataya sa kalidad ng ating mga eroplano, hindi lamang angtagumpay ng kanilang misyon, kundi ang mismong buhay ng ating mga sundalo. Kamakailan lang, bumagsak angOV-10 630 Bronco lulan ang dalawa sa ating mga kawal. Kasalukuyan pa rin pong nagaganap ang search andretrieval operations, at makakaasa po ang pamilya ng mga piloto sa karampatang tulong at suporta ng inyo ponggobyerno.

Ang ganitong mga pangyayari nga mismo ang iniiwasan natin simula't sapul pa, kaya naman, nakatutok tayo samodernisasyon ng ating pambansang tanggulan. Mantakin po ninyo: sa unang labingsiyam na buwan ng atingtermino, halos pantayan ng mahigit dalawamput walong bilyong pisong inilaan natin para sa AFP ModernizationProgram, ang tatlumput tatlong bilyong pisong pondo ng programa sa nakalipas na tatlong administrasyon. At dahilsa pagsasabatas ng New AFP Modernization Act, pitumput limang bilyong pisong pondo ang mailalaan natin saTanggulang Pambansa sa susunod na limang taon.

Asahan po ninyo bago tayo bumaba sa pwesto, tumatanod na sa ating himpapawid ang mga makabago't modernongkagamitan gaya ng lead-in fighters, long-range patrol aircraft, close air support aircraft, light-lift fixed-wing aircraft,medium-lift aircraft, attack helicopters, combat utility helicopters, air defense radars, at flight simulators. Nananaligako: sa pagsasanib ng mga pagkilos ng pamahalaan upang gawing mas moderno ang inyong mga pangangailangan,at ang panibagong dangal at kumpiyansa ng taumbayan sa ating kasundaluhan, talagang magiging abot-langit angserbisyong hatid ng Hukbong Himpapawid ng Pilipinas.

Wala pong duda: unti-unti na tayong pumapasok sa panibagong yugto sa kasaysayan ng Philippine Air Force. Angdating pambabalewala sa inyong kapakanan, pinapalitan natin ngayon ng pagtugon sa inyong pangangailangan mula man sa mga modernong eroplano, hanggang sa mga benepisyo't maayos na pabahay. Ngayong pinapalakasnatin ang kakayahan ng ating Hukbong Himpapawid, walang ibang inaasahan ang taumbayan kundi ang buongkatapatan ninyong gampanan ang inyong tungkulin.

Sa susunod na lumipad kayo, tanawin ninyo ang libu-libong islang bumubuo sa ating bansa. Isipin ninyo kung ilangPilipino ang nakatingala, pinagmamasdan ang pagbagwis ninyo sa langit, at buong-pagmamalaki nilang nasasambitna "Salamat at nariyan ang Philippine Air Force. Walang maaaring sumindak o manggipit sa akin. Ligtas ako."

Sa lahat ng bumubuo ng Philippine Air Force, huwag na huwag nating bibiguin ang ating mga Boss. Kaisa ninyo akosa pagtataguyod ng isang malakas, maaasahan, at maipagmamalaking Hukbong Himpapawid ng mga Pilipino.

Maraming salamat po. Magandang araw sa inyong lahat.

DSWD intensifies monitoring of children used in armed conflict

Source:http://www.dswd.gov.ph

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) through its attached agency, Council for the Welfare of

Children (CWC), said that it has intensified its monitoring system to ensure that children are not used in armed

conflict.

This was announced by DSWD Secretary and CWC Chairperson Corazon Juliano- Soliman after the United Nations

cited the Philippines as among 22 countries last year that experienced conflicts involving child warriors. According tothe report, there were 11 recorded incidents of recruitment and use of children, involving 23 boys and 3 girls, 12 to

17 years old, by the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), New Peoples Army (NPA), Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), and

the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

We are deeply concerned with this UN report and we want to know if there is truth on this. This government does

not allow the recruitment of child warriors, Secretary Soliman said.

Secretary Soliman instructed the CWC which chairs the Monitoring, Reporting and Response System (MRRS) Inter-

agency Team to double its effort in the monitoring of cases. The team is composed of the Armed Forces of the

Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG),

Department of Health (DOH) and Office of Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP).

The teams main task is to gather, validate, and monitor reports of incidences of grave child rights violations, and

ensure provision of appropriate and timely inter-agency response.

To strengthen the MRRS, the CWC drafted a proposed Executive Order adopting the Expanded Comprehensive

Program Framework for Children in Situations of Armed Conflict and directs national government agencies and local

government units to protect children from grave child rights violation. The EO is being finalized by OPAPP and will be

submitted to the President for approval.

The CWC is also currently conducting an orientation on the MRRS protocol for social workers, teachers, police

officers, and health workers. The protocol outlines the flow of reporting of child rights violations and the provision of

immediate response.

To further ensure the protection of children from exploitation, the CWC is also pushing for the passage of the Special

Protection of Children in Situations of Armed Conflict (CSAC) Bill. The bill seeks to provide for a comprehensive

protection, rehabilitation and reintegration of children in situations of armed conflict. This bill also imposes penalty on

parents who encourage their children to join armed groups.

The bill will be re-filed when Congress resumes in July.

Aquino administrations Reintegration Program.

The Agri chief, together with Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz,

kicked-off the Agribusiness Investment Forum on June 16, 2013, in Ergife Palace in Rome, which served as a venue

of information for overseas workers on investment options in the field of agriculture and fisheries.

During the event, Alcala promoted 37 agribusiness opportunities under fisheries, crops, and livestock sectors that

any Filipino workers can invest in with the assistance of DA and DOLE.

Last May 7, 2013, the two agencies inked an agreement that seeks to attract returning overseas workers to venturein various agricultural businesses. A total P2-billion in funds was set aside for the project, which can be accessed by

interested parties.

This to empower them and their families to venture in various projects and effect a positive rural development thru

useful business modules, Alcala said.

The modules contain information of setting up an enterprise in agri-fishery including start-up capital, viability of

location, market, prevailing costs, and return on investments.

All of these will help them decide which investments they can take to somehow mitigate the after-effects of the

financial crisis that recently struck European countries. We will assist them to make the right choice, Alcala said.

In line with this, Labor Secretary Baldoz ordered officials and staff of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO to

prioritize the implementation of the Reintegration Program.

Many Filipinos who attended the Agribusiness Forum in Rome were overwhelmed by the program and exclaimed

excitement thru social media over the assistance the government has been extending to them.

Noel Aragon Gofredo expressed his gratitude to the Agriculture Department for setting up such programs saying that

such initiatives are very much needed by OFWs who wish to come home and in the Philippines for good or help

relatives in their hometowns.

Another OFW, Lucille Corpuz Bolante is happy that the government is now showing concern to Filipinos abroad who

have been working hard for their families for so many years.

It is nice to know that the government is looking after us, she said.

While in Rome, Alcala also joined the inauguration of the Sala Filipino or Philippine Conference Room inside the

Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters on June 18, 2013.

The room pays tribute to the beauty of the Philippines. It highlighted which included touches of the local landscape of

the Banaue Rice Terraces. The room also featured colorful paraws, bamboo structures, and a panoramic view of the

livelihood and employment reintegration in the Philippines when they eventually decide to return to the country for

good.

The Agribusiness Investment Forum was successfully hosted in Northern Italy by the Department of Agriculture (DA)

and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in cooperation with the Philippine Embassy in Rome and the

Philippine Consulate General in Milan. Two sessions were held for Filipinos in Northern Italy, in Milan on June 20

and in Turin on June 23.

In the Forum, Secretary Alcala and other DA officials discussed the different areas of agriculture (crops, livestock

and fisheries) and its huge business potentials for investors. This was complemented by presentations by DOLE

officials headed by Secretary Baldoz on how overseas Filipinos with plans to pursue agribusiness ventures in thePhilippines can be supported by DOLEs National Reintegration or Balik Manggagawa Program.

The well-attended fora in Milan and Turin generated much interest among the Filipinos who were present. Interest to

invest was further drummed-up by the awarding of raffle prizes to lucky audience members who were given start-up

packages of crop seedlings, fingerlings and goat/sheep livestock to be delivered to their preferred provinces in the

Philippines.

Overseas Filipinos conveyed their heartfelt appreciation for the program, citing that the DA-DOLE initiative shows the

importance the government attaches to overseas Filipinos to be partners of national development and at the same

time, provide much needed opportunities for them to be able to return to the country with the assurance of income.

While in Milan, Secretary Alcala also met with the Chamber of Commerce of Milan. In the meeting, Secretary Alcalapresented to the Milanese Chamber officials the investment opportunities in the agricultural sector of the Philippines.
