President Aquino graces 123rd founding anniversary of the Philippine Bar Association

In his speech delivered before some 200 lawyers at the Manila Polo Club in Makati City, President Aquino lauded the PBA for constantly upholding

the rule of law particularly during the Martial Law regime, the Arroyo administration and the impeachment of former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

President Benigno S. Aquino III on Thursday graced the 123rd founding anniversary of the Philippine Bar Association (PBA)

commending the lawyer’s group for “being a consistent voice for the rule of law.”

7 JUNE| PAGE

He said same as his principles, the PBA has always considered the common good in upholding the rule of law.

The President particularly cited the advocacy of the PBA against human rights violation, which include the investigation into his late father’s assassination; the group’s support for the restoration of democracy during the People Power Revolution; and questioning the “midnight appointments” during the Arroyo administration.

President Aquino recalled the supposed wrongdoings during the Arroyo government involving Corona including his supposed midnight appointment, his non-disclosure of Statement of Assets,

Liabilities and Net Worth and the flip-flopping cases under his leadership.

“I made it a point to be here with your association today not just to thank you for taking a similar position with us, but to thank you for being a consistent voice for the rule of law,” he said.

“Even when so many other lawyers’ groups seem so willing to add to the noise and clamor, your association remains sober and measured in its statements. This is what sets the Philippine Bar Association apart from all other groups. Even in disagreement, you do not pander to public sentiment, but raise the level of discourse and uphold the rule of law—in all situations, you have

found that there is only one answer to the question, “Does this redound to the common good?” he added.

President Aquino extolled the audacity of the PBA lawyers for supporting the administration’s impeachment case despite knowing that such action would jeopardize their careers.

He said ensuring equity and justice is a duty not just by the government but by the lawyers as well, expressing confidence that the PBA will continue to uphold its integrity in serving the Filipino people.

“Whether as lawyers today, or as judges and justices, each time you make a decision that redounds to the benefit of all—each time you choose the straight path, you are not only living up to the oath you swore when you were admitted to the Bar, you are also and more importantly helping to build a more just, a more fair society. Whether or not you are a member of the PBA, whatever your alma mater or area of practice, this is what must unite all those in the legal profession: a firm resolve to uphold both the spirit and the letter of the law, towards serving your fellowmen,” he said.

During the event, the PBA accorded President Aquino a resolution of support.

The Philippine Bar Association is the oldest voluntary national organization of lawyers in the Philippines. It traces its roots to the Colegio de Abogados de

Filipinas organized on April 8, 1891 and the bar association organized by American lawyers in the Philippines in 1900.

On June 24, 1904 under the inspiration of Chief Justice Cayetano Arellano, the Colegio de Abogados de Filipinas and the association of American lawyers in the Philippines merged to form the PBA.

The PBA joined the nation in condemning the proclamation of martial law in 1972, mourning the assassination of Senator Ninoy Aquino on August 21, 1983, and welcoming the return of democracy on February 25, 1986. During martial law, the PBA investigated various violations of human rights and successfully won cases for the release of many detainees.

The PBA condemned the gruesome carnage in Maguindanao on November 23, 2009 where 58 people (mostly women, two of them female lawyers, and some journalists) were killed. They have urged authorities to punish the murderers.

The PBA was the lead organization that questioned the “midnight appointments” before the automated elections on May 10, 2010.

It likewise commended the Senate, sitting as an Impeachment Court under the leadership of Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, for its May 29, 2012 historic decision — voting 20 for, 3 against — to remove from office then Chief Justice Corona. PND

Bangsamoro law considers interests of all Filipinos, says Palace exec

The draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) undergoes a thorough review by the Office of the President, taking into account the

interests of not just the people of Mindanao and other stakeholders, but all Filipinos, Malacanang on Wednesday said.

In a press briefing, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio

Coloma said the proposed law will be passed by the Philippine Congress and representatives of


Bangsamoro law considers interests of all Filipinos, says Palace exec

people from Luzon, Visayas and even other areas in Mindanao that are not directly covered by BBL.

Coloma said it is thus imperative to consider various issues that might be raised when the BBL is submitted to Congress.

“Dahil hindi lang naman iyong tuwirang usapin ng mga direct stakeholders ang tatalakayin kundi ang interes ng buong sambayanang Pilipino, which is more diverse than the present subset of direct stakeholders,” he reasoned.

The PCOO chief reiterated that the government is undertaking a comprehensive study on the draft BBL to ensure that provisions are compliant with Constitution.

“...Narinig din naman po natin ang pagtitiyak ng mga lider ng Kongreso na kapag ito ay isinumite na sa takdang panahon, aaksyunan naman kaagad ito at matutupad pa rin iyong inaasam na pagpapasa nito sa isang plebisito,” he said.

The Palace earlier said the much-awaited draft BBL would be submitted to Congress when sessions resume in July so it could finally be passed for approval by the end of the year.

The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) said efforts have already been made to coordinate with the Senate and House leadership to ensure the proposed law is presented to Congress next month.

The NRCO Livelihood Assistance Program is available for OFW returnees who are displaced, distressed and undocumented and their families to help them start their micro-business or expand their existing business and become self–sustaining. Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Region 10 OIC Assistant Regional Director, Rodrigo A. Deloso disclosed during the turnover

ceremony held Tuesday, June 24, at the DOLE-10 conference room that qualified OFW returnees are required to undergo Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) process like the Enterprise Development Training or Social Preparation Orientation before they could avail of the livelihood assistance. Deloso commended the returning OFWs saying they are the heroes


of the modern times. “You saved your families from poverty and your children were able to avail proper education which is a solid foundation for their future,” he said. Meanwhile, OWWA OIC Regional Director, Harry B. Borres narrated the kind of life that OFWs experienced

while working abroad. “For 2 years, I was assigned as Welfare Officer in the Middle East and life there was a lot of challenge. I hoped to serve all my masters at the same time. I felt the loneliness being away from your families,” he said. “With all the hardships and uncertainties, you all survived because you wanted to live,” Borres added. One of the beneficiaries, Fritzie J. Ompoc, a resident from Alubijid, Misamis Oriental who worked as domestic helper in Kuwait was emotional when she recounted her 2-year experience working away from her family. “Dili sayon akong nahiagoman didto pero ako gyud gikaya tungod

kay nag to-o ko nga naa ang DOLE andam motabang. Kini luha sa kalipay ug pinaagi sa kantidad nga inyong gihatag kanako, ako kining palamboon”. (It was never easy but I hurdled everything because I believed that DOLE is ready to help. I cried for joy and I promise to work hard in the

amount that you gave). The same teary-eyed experience relayed by Thara Tanbua-Nabua of Calaanan, this city where she conveyed of her attempted rape mishap while working also as domestic helper for two years in Riyadh. She is thankful for the assistance given by DOLE and OWWA in improving her life

and that of her family. “Ako gyud ma-recommend ang tabang ninyo sa DOLE sa uban, labi na sa pagsugod sa among sari-sari store ug kakanin business,” (I can really recommend DOLE and OWWA to others, especially with the livelihood assistance on Sari-Sari Store with Filipino native snacks preparation) Tara acclaimed. The NRCO has lined up different feasible businesses for a start-up that will enable the target beneficiaries to start quickly a livelihood undertaking such as bread making; cosmetology services; meat processing; e-load, among others.

PWDs hold basketball tourney in PagadianBy Gideon C. Corgue

PAGADIAN CITY – In their wheelchairs, persons with disabilities (PWDs) flaunted their skills in playing basketball battle on Sunday, June 22, at Balangasan Gym in Balangasan this city.

Local print and broadcast journalists were gathered at the conference room in the provincial office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to participate in the discussion on climate change and other environmental issues. Ms. Tingcang emphasized that the advocacy on climate change has been designed to build resiliency among Sibugaynons through information dissemination with media partners. “We recognize the fact that the partnership we will forge can create a great impact on the community, as the media serve as an effective tool to cause behavior change,” she said. Mr. Rudyard P. Pacas, protected area and wildlife coastal zone management services officer of DENR-Sibugay presented the biodiversity of Sibugay province. He said the Philippines is host to about 70 to 80 percent of the world’s biodiversity and is considered one of the hottest biodiversity hotspots in

the world. “In Zamboanga Sibugay alone, two municipalities, Buug and Malangas, have been proclaimed protected area under Republic Act 7586 as part of the Dumanquillas Bay Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (DBPLS),” he pointed out. Mr. Antonio D. Vega, also of DENR-Sibugay, talked on “The Environment, Abuse and Impacts,” pointing out that “the great change in climate that we are experiencing nowadays is due to our apathy to our environment.” Ms. Tingcang stressed that “climate change is not just about protecting the environment; it’s about protecting ourselves and our families.” The media forum on climate change is a collaborative effort between the DENR and PIA aimed at fostering partnerships with public and private communities to include the youth, academe, local government units, civic organizations, etc.


Pagadian City basketball-on-wheelchairs association (BOWA) President Julieto Talledo said the event was designed to give entertainment of the people. “Gusto namo ipakita sa mga tawo nga kami mga walay tiil makahimo pagdula sa basketball. Ang pisikal nga kabilinggan nga among naangkon wala nakabalda kanamo nga makahimo sa mga butang nga gihimo sa mga ordinaryong tawo ug wala usab nakabalda kanamo nga hingpit nga makasalmot sa mga kalihokan sa komunidad,” Talledo said in an interview. (We want to show to the people that we , amputees can play basketball. Our physical disabilities

cannot prevent us from doing what the ordinary people can do, and do not prevent us from participating fully in community activities.) “Dili namo himoon nga rason ang kapansanan nga maoy hinungdan nga kami magpakalimos lamang sa kadalanan. Among ipakita nga kami adunay gihuptan nga talento nga gihatag sa Ginoo sa natad sa paugnat sa kusog, ug uban pa,” he added. (We don’t want that our physical disability would be the reason for us to beg in the streets. We want to show that we are endowed by God with talent in the field of sports and others).

In a press release, Sulu OIC information chief Sonny Y. Abing reported that Governor Tan appealed to ARMM through Dr. Sharifa Pearlsia Alih-Dans, assistant secretary, DILG-ARMM and Manuel Luis M. Ochotorena, executive director of the Office of Civil Defense-Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (OCD-ARMM) to look into the plight of the victims of the Zamboaga siege who remain to be in a sorry state at evacuation centers. During the meeting with the said ARMM officials with local chief executives (LCEs) of the Sulu Province, Vice Governor Tan called on the ARMM Leadership to help ease the plight of those affected and displaced by the 2013 Zamboanga Siege. “Ninety-five percent of those displaced are Muslims and originally from the ARMM. Their appalling condition in designated evacuation centers has caused some to lose hope and self-respect. As leaders of the Muslim community, we are

mandated to help our brethren, to improve their condition and help them get back on their feet,” Tan said He cited that the people of Sulu have donated a total of P10 million worth in cash and assorted goods. “We hosted a summit last Dec. 2013 with various sectors, NGO’s and local governments of the ZAMBASULTA region to sustain assistance to those who are still residing in evacuation centers, and designated Darul Iftah as the conduit on this commitment,” Tan added. Vice Governor Tan reported that as a follow through to this commitment, 57 motorized bancas are being built, funded by contributions from provincial and local chief executives of the province. “This is the time for the ARMM to shine,” Tan told officials. Dr. Sharifa Pearlsia Alih-Dans, assistant secretary of DILG-ARMM, said that she would convey the message to ARMM Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman.
