YAP FAVOURED
3-cornered fightfor Tarlac gov
Bong Revilla and formerPresident Fidel V. Ramos.As the provincial chair ofthe said party, she hasbeen given the privilege tonominate any candidate inthe province affiliated to theparty.
Aside from being anenvironmentalist, Erquizais known to be an advo-cate of children and fami-ly’s welfare, women’srights, health and nutrition,among others.
“Doc Isa,” a cousin ofPresident Benigno AquinoIII and a niece of Danding,is an awarded dermatolo-gist and presently advocat-ing planting of organic veg-etables and medicinalplants.
Suntay is currentlyworking at St. Luke’s Hos-pital as a consultant. Sheis also the co-founder ofTarlac Heritage Founda-tion that introduced “Be-lenismo sa Tarlac” whichmade the province verypopular here and abroad.
According to a politicalanalyst here, these twoladies might be popularand both strong contend-ers, but the mark of Yapbeing a “down-to-earth
and soft-spoken governor”is something that Tar-laquenos would “never ex-change for a neophyte.”
Renovating the histori-cal Capitol buildingmatched with the MariaCristina Park’s beautifullandscape for a start, al-ready gave the people ofTarlac an idea that theyoung governor “has a mil-lion brilliant ideas stockedin his mind.”
With his very popularslogan “Natural Tarlac”dressed-up with “Sa Tar-lac, tao ang una, pagkainmuna, kalusugan muna,trabaho muna,” Yap putthe province among thetop local government unitsin the country.
“Mahirap igiba ang kat-ulad ni Victor naumaakyat sa bundok paraalamin ang kalagayan ngmga katutubo, kayang lu-makad na walang body-guard at hindi nangingim-ing makipag-usap kahit naanong uri ng pagkataomeron ka. Hindi lahat ngpulitiko ay ginagawa yanlalo na ang mga galing saangkan ng mga mayaya-man,” the political analystremarked.

Beyondgalunggong
THE REGIONAL Tripartite Wages and ProductivityBoard approved Wage Order No. 17 mandatingan increase of P6, and allowed the integration ofP24 in cost of living allowance into the basic payfor workers in Central Luzon.
With this, the minimum wage rates in Bataan,Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac andZambales are set at P336 for companies withassets of P30 million and above, and P329 forassets less than that amount. In Aurora, non-agriculture workers get P285.
In the agricultural sector, workers in plantationare set to get P306 while those in non-plantationareas get P290, that is for the first six provinces.The rates in Aurora are fixed at P270 and P258,respectively.
In the retail and service sector, companies with16 or more workers are required to pay P325while those with less than 16 workers should payP311. In Aurora, the rate is P215.
Maybe, enough reason there for workers inAurora to cry “Inequality!” But that is another story.
So the daily minimum wage has been increasedby P30. So why is there no rejoicing in the laborfront?
The P30-increase runs short of the P36-rise inthe price of galunggong, once the definingstandard of poverty in the country. So said LudyHamor, head of the trade union political centerMakabayan chapter in the Central Luzon.
Hamor cited records of the National StatisticalCoordination Board saying a kilogram ofgalunggong fetched P104.74 in January 2007,rising to P129.40 in December 2011, and to itscurrent price of P140.
Beyond galunggong, there’s still the increasein the prices of prime commodities, in power andutility rates, in fare, in just about anything andeverything with a price tag.
Workers of Central Luzon, unite! You havenothing more to lose, galunggong now way beyondyour reach!
Never no moreTWO WEEKS less than a year ago – October 25, 2011 to beexact – this paper bannered “Panlilio says: I’m done with politics.”The story, with my own byline, read:
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – “No more (electoral) politics forme.”
Thus, former Pampanga Gov. Eddie T. Panlilio debunkedspeculations that he was angling for an elective position in 2013.
“I am still waiting for the Church’s action on my request to returnto the priesthood,” said Panlilio during a novena Mass at the St.Jude parish church in Barangay San Agustin here last Saturday.
Panlilio was the guest homilist in the Mass celebrated by Rev.Fr. Raul de los Santos, the parish priest.
In his introduction of the suspended priest-turned governor, Delos Santos hailed Panlilio for “answering a higher call” in runningfor the governorship and winning in 2007, as well as in seeking,but losing, re-election in 2010.
The priesthood remained “manifest” in Panlilio,De los Santos said, even in the field of politicswith his innate “sense of self-sacrifice and serviceto the people.”
Panlilio said that out of politics, he wouldcontinue in his various advocacies.
These included the environmental preservationwith the Save the Trees Coalition that preventedthe wholesale cutting of all trees along MacArthurHighway being pursued by the Department ofPublic Works and Highways and endorsed by thePampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industryand the city government of San Fernando.
“Thanks to the STC, we can still enjoy thecool shade of the trees,” Panlilio said.
The campaign for good governance, he said,continues with nationwide talks being undertakenby the Kaya Natin group that included himself,former Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca and nowInterior Secretary Jesse Robredo.
Jueteng politicsIt was in the anti-jueteng advocacy that Panlilio
was most emphatic in his homily.“As long as jueteng politics exists, there will
be no chance for good governance to take roots,”he said, lamenting that some priests and pastorsregularly receive jueteng money.
Panlilio claimed that in the last elections, aChristian pastor intimated to him that a group ofpastors were offered “as much as P100,000individually” with a number of them accepting thebribe...
From no mas to uno mas.Last October 5, the last day for filing of
certificates of candidacy, a smiling Panlilio wasproclaimed by President Aquino as the officialcandidate of the Liberal Party for Pampangagovernor.
My classmate, the Rev. Fr. Larry Sarmiento,head of the archdiocesan conciliation andarbitration committee (in matters concerningpriests), was quoted as saying Panlilio “opted toleave the priesthood and apply for a dispensationfrom the priestly office.”
Last Tuesday, October 9, I found this postedin my Facebook account from some shares:Panlilio philosophizing his return to politics, thus:
Marami pong nagtatanong kung bakit gumitnana naman tayo sa pulitika.
Sa isang banda, nagulat at natakot po akosa mga nangyayari sa ating probinsiya. Hayaanninyong ilarawan ko ito sa pamamagitan ng isangkwento. May isang alagad ng simbahan na datingtumitindig laban sa jueteng. Ngunit nangmagkasakit ang kanyang anak at wala siyangpanggastos, lumapit siya sa asawa ng hinihinalangjueteng lord na nagtustos sa pagpapagamot sakanyang anak. Mula noon ay isa na siya sa mganagsasabi na wala naman palang masama sajueteng.
Walang pinagkaiba ang naturang alagad ngsimbahan sa mga pari, pulis, kapitan, mayor,gobernador, kongresista, senador, presidente,alagad ng media at maraming pang mamamayanna tumatanggap sa jueteng.
Wala silang nakikitang masama sapagtanggap ng pera na kahit ito ay galing sa imoralat nakapipinsalang sugal.
Kapag taong simbahan na ang walangnakikitang masama sa jueteng politics na
nagsasamantala at pinanatiling mahirap ang mgatao at nagdudulot pa ng iba’t ibang kasamaan,totoong nakakatakot na ang ating kalagayan.
Kaya noong kinausap ako ng mga kababayanna nagmamalasakit sa Pampanga, pagkataposakong hinikayat ng mga kasama sa Liberal Partysa pangunguna ni PNoy at dahil walang gustongtumayong alternatibo, nagpasya akong tumakbo.
Nagdesisyon akong pangunahan angkahilingan ng mga Kapampangan sa kanilangpakikibakang wakasan ang jueteng politics,patronage politics, lumalaganap na magulang-anak, anak-magulang at mag-asawang politicodito sa Pampanga.
Muli kong iniaalay ang aking sarili upangmamuno sa ninanais ni PNoy na dalhin saPampanga ang matuwid na daan at ang pag-unladna tinatamasa ng bansa.
Ating inaawit sa Imno Capampangan, “...gabun ding pantas at marangal, sibul ning lugud,carinan ning tepangan.... “.
Ayaw kong maisulat sa kasaysayan na minsantumayo ang mga magigiting at may dangal naKapampangan upang tuldukan ang jueteng atwalang prinsipyong pamumuno, ako ay inalok namanguna at sila ay aking binigo sapagkat angtugon ko sa kanila ay natatakot ako. Na sinabiko sa kanila na ang kanilang pakiusap ay hindikasama sa aking tinugunan bilang pari.
Ang Laban sa Pampanga ay laban nating lahatna mga Kapampangan, saan man po kayo ngayonna nagmamalasakit sa bayan nating tinubuan.Sa inyo rin po ito kayong may malasakit saPampanga. Hindi ko po sariling laban ito.
Napatunayan na po natin noong 2007 na kayanating iluklok ang Effective, Ethical andEmpowering leadership sa Pampanga kung tayoay magkasama. Patunayan natin ito ay hinditsamba. Patunayan natin na nanalo tayo noong2007 dahil pinagkaisahan, pinagtulungan atisinakatuparan natin ang ninanais ng mgamamamayan. Kaya nating ulitin ito ngayon. Satulong ng Poong Maykapal.
Past, present and future in perfect fusion.Thus, Panlilio in 2007: “I have heeded the
clamor of the laity to serve God’s people by runningfor public office. An extraordinary situation likethat in Pampanga requires a radical option.”
So I wrote then, as I write now, how it was theimage of the Dominican reformer Fra GirolamoSavonarola that I saw in Panlilio, with full recall ofhis compelling mission in taking over thegovernment of Florence in 1494: “O my people,you know that I have never wanted to intervene inmatters of state: do you think I would do so now,if I did not see that it was necessary for the healthof your souls?...Your reform must begin with thethings of the spirit, which are above the material,of which they are the rule and the life; and yourtemporal good must serve your moral and religiouswelfare, on which it depends. And if you heardsay that states are not ruled by paternosters,remember that this is the rule of tyrants, or theenemies of God and the commonweal, the rulefor oppressing and not for raising and liberatingthe city. If you desire a good government you mustrestore it to God. Surely, I should not meddle instate matters, if this were not so.”
As it was in 2007, so it was not in 2010. Andso it will be not in 2013.
If you wish in this world to advance, your merits you're boundto enhance; You must stir it and stump it, and blow your owntrumpet, or trust me, you haven't a chance. –W. S. Gilbert

Everything’s rightin MabalacatEverything’s rightin MabalacatPAMPANGA’S NEWEST city just makes the perfectplace to be.
Occupying premium spot on the elevated plain called“Upper Pampanga,” Mabalacat makes the veryantithesis to the rest of the flood-prone towns of theprovince and thus is primed as sanctuary to the water-logged folk of the second and fourth districts.
Indeed, Mabalacat has for long hosted, aye,permanently resettled, evacuees from all the Pinatubo-devastated in its new townships of Mawaque andMadapdap.
From its days as first-class municipality to its statusas a city, Mabalacat has always served as a magneticfield for socio-economic development.
There is the Clark Freeport Zone, some three-fifthsof its land area belonging to Mabalacat, thereby givingthe city the lion’s share not only in a percentage of thegross income earned from the locators and investorsbut also in the number of workers.
With the greatest of conviction and without any fearof contradiction – to plagiarize Mayor Marino “Boking”Morales, Mabalacat offers the widest opportunity foremployment, as a consequence to Clark.
And the mayor has prepared its people for the jobsavailable at Clark as Mabalacat and Angeles City nowsupply more than half of the Clark Freeport’s 70,000workers.
Morales established four years ago MabalacatCommunity College, the first-ever tertiary level schoolin Pampanga run by a local government unit. It offerscourses that cater to the needs of at least 585 locatorsat Clark such as Bachelor of Science in InformationTechnology.
“We have established the college precisely toprepare for the boom of jobs and investments in Clark,”said Morales.
With a land area already double that of Angeles Cityand further increased to the current 14,660.98 hectaresas a result of Special Patent 3628, dated June 02, 2003,whereby some lands previously demarcated as part ofthe built-up area of Clark Air Base were reverted to thetown, Mabalacat possesses truly premium real estate,be it for commercial, light-industrial and residential
purposes.Which puts the substance to Mabalacat’s billing as
the “Next Makati North of Manila.” No matter its mintingby the Asian Institute of Management-educatedMorales.
Location. Location. Location. No other town or cityin Pampanga is as much blessed as Mabalacat intopography, in geography.
While the City of San Fernando had long claimed tobe the gateway to North Philippines and regional centerof Central Luzon, Mabalacat City is actually it.
For one, Mabalacat serves as the nexus of the NorthLuzon Expressway and the Subic-Clark-TarlacExpressway which is being stretched further north toPangasinan and La Union.
Two, the Clark International Airport, otherwise knownas Diosdado Macapagal International Airport, bynecessity the emerging premier international gatewayof the country, is sited in Mabalacat.
Where Mabalacat is a gateway then, the City ofSan Fernando is merely a crossroad.
And there is more for Mabalacat as a city – withRepublic Act No. 10164, signed by President Aquinoon May 15, 2012 and ratified by the people of Mabalacatin a plebiscite in July – in budgetary gains leading tothe delivery of more basic services.
Morales said Mabalacat’s P529-million annualinternal revenue allotment (IRA) would now increase toP900 million.
“We are now in the major league and must act assuch. We will get the services of more professionals tobetter deliver basic services,” the long-serving mayordeclared.
He said that fees at the Mabalacat CommunityCollege and birthing stations will be shouldered bythe city government.
“We already have more than 2,000 studentsat Mabalacat National High School. With biggerIRA, we will increase the number ofclassrooms to accommodate morestudents,” said Morales.
The additional income, said Morales,will be largely spent for infrastructure
projects, initially the rehabilitation of roads in all of thecity’s 27 villages, and the lighting of the national road,and health and nutrition programs.
Even as the city’s fiscal management is beingenhanced, Morales said a moratorium on local takes isset in place.
In much of its 300-year existence, Mabalacat’spotential for development remained largely untapped. Ittook Morales – first elected mayor in 1995 – to take thethen fourth class municipality to the urban league.
Mabalacat City. Stay with me, the best is yet tobe. Yeah, Boking has all the right to that chant.

PALAYAN CITY - The pains of climbing mountains did not bargraduate school students from a private university in Cabanatu-an City to plant trees on top of the mountainous village hereover the weekend.
Most of them are already of “good age” that climbing heightscan be considered a great sacrifice, but just the same theydid what they sought to do.
Dr. Lulu Diamante, dean of Phinma- Araullo University grad-uate school, said that students taking masteral and doctoralcourses, planted about 200 trees on the mountain top of SitioBacao, an identified reforestation area under President Beni-gno S. Aquino’s National Greening Program (NGP).
Diamante explained that the department has adopted aspecific area in the adjacent sitio (sub-village) of Alorma, alsoin Barangay Doña Josefa, but they have finished planting thereas certified by the Department of Environment and NaturalResources (DENR).
“Our students who planted here are mostly (school) princi-pals and chiefs of different offices,” Diamante said. This, sheadded, invites the possibility of the virtue of caring for the envi-ronment emulated.
“Today, we have the principals practicing this good activity,in the future they are encouraging their own students or em-ployees doing the same,” she said.
Diamante admitted that some students complained of painsbut continued doing their task. Some of them were heard ask-ing for pain reliever.
Engr. Jose Ariel Domingo, immediate past president of thegraduate school’s students’ organization and manager of theNational Irrigation Administration-Upper Pampanga River Inte-grated Irrigation System’s division IV, said they conduct aseries of tree planting activities in accordance with Aquino’svision to plant 1.5 billion trees in 1.5 million hectares by 2016.
“We adhere to the President’s order and his vision to makeour country a better world for the future generations,” Domingosaid.
Domingo said that he himself has enjoined NIA employeesunder Division IV to come up with the 10 trees per person peryear policy.
“We identified the watershed of Aulo Dam in Palayan Cityas our reforestation area,” he said. The place, he added, hasbeen placed under the DENR’s NGP areas.
Diamante said their students will continue to conduct treeplanting activities even as the university exerts efforts to instillin the youth the care for the environment.
No mountain high for studes to plant trees

ANGELES CITY, Pampan-ga – “Ala yang panyambut(he has no chances of win-ning).”
Thus said PampangaFirst District Representa-
‘EdPam has no chances of winning’ – Lazatintive and Angeles City May-oral Candidate, Carmelo“Tarzan” Lazatin here onOctober 5 that incumbentMayor Edgardo Pamintu-an has no chances of win-
ning in the Angeles CityMayoral elections.
Lazatin’s statementwas in response to a re-porter who asked himabout his chances against
Pamintuan during theTeam Lazatin press con-ference held at AFC Res-taurant in Balibago whichwas attended by morethan a hundred guests
composed of barangay of-ficials and mediamen.
Lazatin said that hehas the support of thebusiness sector, 75 per-cent of the City Hall em-ployees, transport groups,senior citizens, youth, andthe members of the grass-roots level.
Tess Maniacup, Chair-woman of the Angeles CityPampang Public MarketVendors Association(ACPPMVA), expressedher support for Lazatin,“When CongressmanLazatin first ran for mayorof Angeles City, he prom-ised the Pampang marketvendors that he will notraise the payment for ourstalls and permits, and forthe nine years that heserved as mayor, he kepthis promise.”
“We wholeheartedlysupport CongressmanLazatin’s candidacy andwe are very proud of himbecause he is someonewho knows how to fulfill hispromises,” said Maniacup.
Lazatin on Friday alsopromised that he will notraise the business andReal Property Taxes.
“Kung ano ang babaya-ran ng mga negosyante ngJanuary 2013, ganon langang babayaran nila habang
ako ang nakaupo na May-or,” Lazatin promised.
First-time candidatesCarmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr.and Atty. Nino Enriqueztook the opportunity to in-troduce themselves whilere-electionist CouncilorAtty. Bryan Matthew Nep-omuceno and veteran me-dia personality Max Sangiltalked about the Lazatin-Nepomuceno alliance.
Sangil said that thisisn’t the first time the twobiggest political families inAngeles City are joiningforces and in the past,when the city was facingcrisis, the Lazatins andNepomucenos set their ri-valry aside and worked to-gether for the good of thecity.
Before the press con-ference, Lazatin and histeam led a motorcade fromEssel Park to Angeles CityHall via McArthur Highway.
Red colored the streetsof Angeles City as a crowdof 5,000 people and morethan 100 vehicles decorat-ed with red balloons gath-ered to join the parade.
Also present during themotorcade are former ViceGovernor Robin Nepo-muceno and officials fromthe 33 barangays of Ange-les City. –Team Lazatin
ANGELES CITY - “Lazatin is daydreaming or he isgiven wrong information by his political lieutenants.”
Thus said Alexander Cauguiran, president of thePartido Abe Kapampangan, in response to the pressstatement made by the camp of Congressman Car-melo ‘Tarzan’ Lazatin that Mayor Edgardo Pamintuanhas no chances of winning in the Angeles City mayor-al elections.
Cauguiran said that by all indications, the growingsentiments among many Angelenos especially amongthe youth and intellectual voters, as well as other sec-tors including the women, the urban poor, the marketvendors, transport groups and professionals is to sup-port Pamintuan who has proven genuine advocacy ofvarious issues particularly health, education, environ-ment and peace and order.
"The administration of Mayor Ed Pamintuan hasbrought back prestige to Angeles City. After 12 longyears, Angeles City is again recognized as among thetop cities of the country. The last time this happenedwas also during the first 2 terms of Mayor Pamintuanfrom 1992 to 1995 and 1995 to 1998," said TeresitaArcina of the women's group Kapisanan ng mga kaba-baihan para sa Kaunlaran ng Angeles (KKKA).
Youth groups also joined the bandwagon for Pam-intuan stating that the education programs of the in-
‘Lazatin daydreaming’cumbent mayor must be continued and sustained asthese benefits the students and their parents.
"The establishment of the City College of Angelesis one of the priorities of Mayor Pamintuan. It is apromise fulfilled. Lazatin could not possibly implementthe same because it is against the business interestof his family who owns a tertiary school in the city,”Cauguiran said.
He added that the youth and students are nowaware that it was Mayor Pamintuan who first imple-mented the city's scholarship program which is nowgiven more budget to accommodate more deservingstudents.
The Partido Abe Kapampangan dared Lazatin toshow proof of his "fitness to run for mayor."
"We are not yet questioning Lazatin's winnabilityalthough we doubt very much if he truly has the sup-port of the different sectors as indicated in his pressrelease,” said Partido Abe Kapampangan Deputy Sec-retary General William Aguilar.
“But instead of bragging about his chances of win-ning, we challenge Lazatin to prove first that he is fitenough to withstand the rigors of next year's electoralcampaign. After that, we shall ask him to present acomprehensive program of government to the people,if he has any,” Aguilar added. –Agyu Tamu Team

PORAC, Pampanga – May-or Condralito “Carling” de LaCruz and his vice mayor,Dexter David both rewrotethe political history of thistown founded in 1907 withno one opposing them forthe 2013 elections.
In a phone interview onMonday, David said he andDe La Cruz “are so thank-ful to the people becausebeing unchallenged meanswe worked and performedwell.”
“Teamwork and respectfor each other allowed meand Mayor De La Cruz toproperly deliver basic ser-vices to the more than120,000 residents of Po-rac,” said David. He add-ed that he had been in-formed that since leaderswere determined by elec-tions in Pampanga’s larg-
Porac mayor, VM unchallengedest town in terms of landarea, it’s the first time theincumbents were not chal-lenged for re-election.
David disclosed thatunder their watch since2010, the yearly income ofthe town from quarryingincreased by at least 30percent compared to theprevious administration.The annual income was atleast P29 million begin-ning 2011 compared to anaverage of about P22 mil-lion from 2007 to 2010.
“We also made surethat our fiscal manage-ment is in tune with theprovision of the local andnational laws,” said David,brother of Second DistrictBoard Member OlgaFrances “Fritzie” David-Di-zon who decided not toseek re-election.
For his part, De LaCruz thanked Pampanga
Gov. Lilia Pineda for heradministration’s all-outsupport to their health,education and agricultureprograms.
“We were inspired bythe hardworking governor,”said De La Cruz in the di-alect.
De La Cruz said they
APALIT, Pampanga – Afirst for the town used tobe highly polarized in itsmayoralty contests – noone rose to challenge theincumbent mayor.
For unopposed MayorOscar “Jun” Tetangco, Jr.,the 2013 elections will benothing more than a coro-nation.
Tetangco was firstelected mayor in the hotlycontested election of2007, beating no-push-overs in Board MemberNestor Tolentino and ViceMayor Paul Nabong.
His first attemptthough, in 1998 was frus-trated by the late TirsoLacanilao who served asvice mayor to the Tetang-co’s father.
Apalit mayor unopposedThe young Tetangco
who served as the sang-guniang kabataan federa-tion president and sat asex-officio member of theprovincial board has sincelearned his politics, se-cured in the support of hisconstituencies that readi-ly re-elected him in 2010.
As a first termer, Teta-ngco stood his groundagainst what he called the“unjust taxation” levied bythe provincial governmentthen headed by Gov. Ed-die T. Panlilio on the scrap-ing of silt and dredging oflahar deposits from riversand farmlands.
It was also as a neo-phyte mayor that Tetang-co cleansed his town of“moral filth,” closing down
scores of videokes andother nightspots suspect-ed as prostitution fronts.
A loyal ally of Gov. Lil-ia Pineda, Tetangcoshared her advocacies ofpeople’s health, educationand livelihood. A publiccommunity hospital inApalit is now in the draw-ing board.
Through Tetangco’s ini-tiative, a number of hisconstituents were able toavail themselves of Phil-Health insurance cardsunder the National House-hold Targeting System forPoverty Reduction.
Tetangco also impact-ed himself in the anti-overloading campaignwith his hands-on, on-the-ground monitoring and
apprehension of violatorsof the law.
His “incessant lobby-ing” with the Departmentof Public Works andHighways facilitated theearly completion of reha-bilitation works at the Col-gante Bridge which spansthe principal road to Ma-cabebe and Masantoltowns.
“I am humbled with thistotal trust and confidencegiven me by the people. Ican only maximize my ef-forts for their total well-be-ing to repay them,” Teta-ngco said.
His running mate, in-cumbent Vice MayorPedro “Peter” Nucum isalso running unopposed.
– Bong Z. Lacson
will prioritize more stu-dents to enroll at the sat-ellite campus of the DonHonorio Ventura TechnicalState University (DHVT-SU). He and David lastyear pushed for the open-ing of the first public col-lege in the first class mu-nicipality.

Mayor Edgardo Pamin-tuan’s administrationstands to receive the threecoveted awards from theDepartment of the Interiorand Local Governmentwith no less than Secre-tary Mar Roxas handingover the honors in the firstweek of November at theHoliday Inn, Clark FreeportZone.
This was relayed to thecity by DILG regional di-rector Florida Dijan.

AC gets awards for good governancewith cash awards amount-ing to millions of pesos.
“These awards are agreat honor to AngelesCity. I would like to thankmy colleagues at city hallfor their very good work,and also the DILG for rec-ognizing our efforts at pro-moting good governance,transparency and efficien-cy of service,” said Pam-intuan.
Last year, Pamintuanalso received both the Sealof Good Housekeepingand the LGPMS Top 10Certificate from the DILGpersonally handed by thelate Secretary Jesse Ro-
bredo himself. The DILG also award-
ed the city governmentwith P30 million last year.
Angeles City was vot-ed fourth among the tophighly-urbanized cities inthe country.
All these awards, inonly the first term of Pam-intuan, are on top of hisinclusion among the 25 fi-nalists in the 2012 WorldMayor Prize, one of onlyfive Asians who made thelist.
“I think we need notbrag about theseawards. They come if wejust do our jobs properly
and efficiently,” Pamintuansaid.
“There is no politics in-volved in these awards, asthey were given on thebasis of strict criteria andby people who are veryobjective,” the mayor add-ed.
Pamintuan’s Chief ofStaff Alexander Cauguiransaid the numerousawards, most of which arepertaining to good gover-nance and transparency,are “the best defenseagainst tirades of politi-cians seeking to lead thecity again, but only suc-ceeded in taking the city
to the dumps during theirlong terms.”
“All these awards onlyaffirmed the bankruptcy of
the minds behind the alle-gations that the city isbankrupt,” Cauguiran add-ed. – Punto I-Team
Yesterday, “TeamLazatin” alleged that thecity’s barangays have notreceived their shares of thereal property tax (RPT) forthe months of August andSeptember.
This came in the wakeof claims made by Laza-tin – with correspondingphotocopied cash flow re-ports from the city treasur-er’s office – that the cityis bankrupt .
City Administrator Den-nis Albert Pamintuan de-bunked the claims sayingthe city government is fi-nancially “stable and ableto pay its debts.”
In a press statementyesterday, IC Calaguas,chief of staff of Lazatin,said that if the city govern-

City gov’t fails to give barangays’ RPT...ment “is indeed practicingsound fiscal management,why can’t they release thebarangay RPT share ontime?”
Calaguas said that forthe month of August, thetotal barangay share forthe RPT collected by thecity amounted to P443,831.42.
But Rodelio “Tony”Mamac, chairman ofBarangay Balibago, hasyet to receive his village’sRPT share for Augustamounting to P42,427.34,the statement said.
Cutcut barangay chairCecil le Nepomucenoshares the same dilem-ma as her barangay hasalso yet to receive itsshare of the RPT for Au-gust, amounting toP28,421.19.
‘Elaborate lies’The Lazatin camp ear-
lier released a statementsaying that Pamintuan’sdenial of the city’s bank-ruptcy are “all elaboratelies” as it presented “offi-cial records from the Of-fice of the City Treasurer”showing that as of Sep-tember 3, 2012 the cityhas a negative cash flowof P11,945,575.92.
“If the city is stable,then show documents,”Calaguas challenged Pa-mintuan.
Section 271(d) of theLocal Government Codestipulates that “the shareof each barangay shallbe released, withoutneed of any further ac-t ion, direct ly to thebarangay treasurer on aquarterly basis within five
(5) days after the end ofeach quarter and shallnot be subject to any lienor holdback for whateverpurpose.”
Two weeks havepassed since the end ofthe third quarter and thecity government has notyet distributed the RPTshares of the baran-gays, the s ta tementnoted.
Calaguas also cited theLocal Government Codeprovision that city baran-gays are entitled to 30percent of the RPT collect-ed by the city, wherein 50percent will go to thebarangay where the prop-erty is located and 50 per-cent will be distributedequally among the otherbarangays.

Montejo, who wasamong the guests at theClark ConEx 2012 Interna-tional ICT Conference andExpo from October 10 to11, said at least 75 percentof the total BPO and ITfirms are in the NationalCapital Region (NCR). The25 percent, he added, aremostly in Cebu and Clark.
He said they aimed toput at least 40 percent ofthe total industry outsideof the NCR.
Montejo cited the tre-mendous growth of theBPO and IT businesses inClark over the past two
Clark, Cebu ideal to decongest NCR...FROM PAGE 1 years. He said this Free-
port is one of the “bestsites” outside of the capi-tal region for the same in-dustry.
Montejo said theylaunched programs to helpthe host province of Pam-panga to produce theworkers needed by theBPO and IT Industriesnumbering at least 61.
He said the trainingsare concentrated on “En-glish proficiency and ana-lytics.”
Dr. Francisco Villanue-va, president of the MetroClark ICT Council, saidthey have started meetingwith schools and training
centers in Angeles City,Clark and Pampanga tohelp them promote job-matching for the growingIT and BPO-related indus-tries at Clark.
Villanueva said therewere at least 4,000 directBPO and IT workers atClark in 2010, jumping tosome 11,300 as of Sep-tember 2012.
As of latest data fromthe Clark DevelopmentCorp. (CDC), there aremore than 70,000 workershere.
George D. Sorio, chair-man of the Metro Clark ICTCouncil, said the August7 torrential rains that par-
alyzed the BPO opera-tions in Metro Manila hadshown the advantages ofClark.
Sorio of the Cyber CityTeleservices, pioneer BPOfirm at Clark, said thatsince the recent floodingin Metro Manila this year,there had been “large ad-ditional inquiries” on affect-ed and potential investorswanting to locate at thisFreeport.
The two-day confer-ence and expo is one ofthe projects of Sorio andother groups, including theCDC and MCICT, in pro-moting Clark as haven forthe BPO and IT industry.
He said these varietiescould yield a maximum ofsix to 11 tons per hectare.
“Multi-location yieldtesting showed that Tubig-an 22 has an average yieldof about six tons per hect-are. It has yield potentialof about 11 tons per hect-are when transplanted andabout eight tons per hect-are as direct-seeded rice,”he said.
He noted that Tubigan22 variety matures in 108

Farmers urged to plant high-yielding...days when direct-seededand 115 days when trans-planted and that “it is re-sistant to blast, sheathblight, bacterial leaf blight,and white stem borer.”
Rasco said that on theother hand, Malagkit 5,which he described as “agood yielding glutinousvariety,” can yield seventons per hectare maxi-mum.
“It matures in 122 daysand has moderate resis-tance to whiteheads,brown planthopper, green
leaf hopper, and yellowstem borer. It is alsoslightly aromatic whencooked,” he added.
“You might also want totry hybrid rice becauseunder good conditions, itsyield is 27 percent higherthan inbred,” Rasco toldfarmers during the FieldDay gathering held in Mu-noz, Nueva Ecija.
He stressed that “Mes-tiso 29, a variety with re-sistance to white and yel-low stem borers, brownplanthopper, and greenleafhopper, registered anaverage yield of seventons per hectare and amaximum yield of 11 tonsper hectare and maturesin 113 days.”
Meanwhile, Rasco
also said that the Mestiso38 variety “is suitable inareas usually infested withblast, bacterial leaf blight,and white stem borer andit matures in 114 days andcould yield as high as 10tons per hectare.”
“You might have no-ticed rice plants withthicker culms when youwent around our experi-mental fields. These arenew hybrid rice varietiesbeing developed, whichwould hopefully, bring 24percent higher yield thanother hybrid,” Rascostressed.
Lakbay-Palay is con-ducted annually for farmerswho visit PhilRice and learnabout the latest on rice re-search and technology.

NOWHERE in sight ang beauty ni John Lapus. Nawawala siya sa limelight.Zero ang kanyang exposure simula nang masibak siya sa GMA 7. This confirmsthe fact na hindi naman ganoon kasikat ang maangas na bading na komedyante.
May kayabangan si John, may hangin sa ulo. Mahilig makipag-away atkung mamarali, akala mo kung sino nang sikat.
How could we forget yung ginawa niayng pagtatago noon sa isang grupong PMPC nang dumalaw ang mga ito sa isa niyang taping. Hitsurang nagtagotalaga siya na akala mo walang nakita.
Ganoon naman talaga si John Lapus, medyo plastik kaya siguro maagangnakarma at nawala sa sirkulasyon.
Si Vice Ganda, ayan at buhay na buhay ang career. Napanood namin yunglatest niyang palabas sa mga sinehan at ang dami ng tao. If this becomes ahit, maaring talunin pa nito ang record ng Praybeyt Benjamin. Mula ito sadireksyon ni Wenn Deramas na talaga namang nakatatawa. Hagalpakan angmga tao sa sinehan na akala mo talaga, walang katapusan ang career ngbading na ito.
Sana lang, hindi tuluyang yumabang si Ganda para naman hindi siyamakarma.
Isa pang bading ang rumaratsada ang career. Ito si Ate Gay na isang NoraAunor impersonator. Nakatakda ang kanyang concert sa isang malaking venue, at kahit di pa niya mapuno ang
venue, aba record na yun.At dahil ayan at buhay na buhay ang career nina Vice Ganda at Ate
Gay, where does this leave John Lapus?Sa kangkungan na lang siya pupulitin, hindi po ba?
O, ayan Marian Rivera,masaya ka na...
Dingdong Dantesdenies Isabelle Daza
NALUNGKOT nang wagas si DingdongDantes nang ma-shelve ang gagawin sananiyang series na Haram.
Dalawang araw na siyang nakapag-taping kaya nang malaman niya angdesisyon ng GMA Network, hindi niyaipinagkaila ang lungkot na naramdaman.
“Sobrang nalungkot ako kasi alamninyo, isa sana siyang proyekto namakakapagbukas ng doors sa buongbansa. Para mas maintindihan,makita at maunawaan kung ano’yung nangyayari sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng isang modernMuslim family. Dahil sanangyayari, globally, solidaritywith our brothers and sisters saMuslim community. Maskikinailangang lang i-shelve.Pero personally, nalungkotako.
“So, I’m just hopingthat it’s not the end na
sinabi talagang isi-shelve. Infact, kausap ko si Miss
Annette (Gozon-Abrogar)kanina, sabi nga niya, baka
naman posible pa siya. ‘We’re nottotally saying no.’ paliwanag ni
Dingdong sa press na kumausap sa kanyaafter ng presscon ng Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles
na pinagbuhusan din niya ang atensyon at pera.Pero same pa rin naman daw ang cast kung saan makakasama
pa rin niya si Lorna Tolentino.“Sana po, sana po. Kumbaga, reding-ready na kaming magkakasama
sana. Wala pa po akong alam kung ano ang kapalit,” wish niya.Kasama raw sa cast si Isabelle Daza.“Ganoon ba? Hahaha! Hindi ko po alam,” nabiglang tugon ni Dong.Teka, ano ba talaga ang paliwanag sa tsismis sa kanila ni Isabelle?“Hindi. Basta. Straight out po, hindi totoo!” deklara ni Dingdong.Friends ba sila?“Hi, hello! Nagkasama po kami sa isang episode ng Spooky Nights and
Bench endorsement. Sa Party Pilipinas, nagkakasalubong kami. That’s it po!”diin pa ng boyfriend ni Marian Rivera.
Anyway, matatag pa rin ang relasyon ni Dingdong kay Marian, lalo nangayong patuloy na gumuguwapo at kumikinis ang actor dahil sa pag-launchsa kanya ng Belo Medical group bilang endorser ng Belo Men.
No wonder, matapang na namang magpakita ng hubad na katawan siDingdong ngayon, huh!
Dein Henson star for all election seasons!CONSISTENT numero uno si Dein Henson since 2007 that he chose to dwell
in the political front. Yes, dalawang beses siyang nag-number one, at ito aytagrget niya gawing ikatlo, now that he is again in the front field sa 2013
election.Kumbaga, puwedeng bigyan ng titulong star for all election seasons
si Dein who is the son of a similar star noong kanyang kapanahunanna si Rosve Henson.
Anyway, dami ng nagdeklarang tumkbo in the same city whereDein rules at halos lahat sila ay nagsasabing they would like to
duplicate the feat set by Henson.Well, and good, maganda yun. This means they also have
to equal yung record ng pagtulong ni Dein sa mga kababayan.Nangangahulugan ding ito, they too, should be geneorus
and selfless like Dein Henson.Hanggang diyan na lang po kami lest we be accused
we are building up the guy. Suffice to say, kabaranggaynamin si Dein sa Del Pilar in the City Of San Fernando,kaya hindi lingid sa amin ang record niya.
