PHOTO BY DINO BALABO Bulacan stages giant ‘inipit’ BY DINO BALABO MALOLOS CITY—Bulacan successfully staged the giant custardfilled bread called “inipit” yesterday in front of the provincial capitol building here, aimed at further pump priming local bakery industry. This is the second giant bakery product staged by the provincial government in a week’s time. On Wednesday, a giant “ensaymada” measuring 40 feet in diameter was presented as part of the eight-day Singkaban Fiesta celebrations. Weighing 1,500 kilos, the giant “inipit” measured 15 feet wide, 30 feet long and two inches thick. It was also marked by a replica of the historic Barasoain Church. Governor Joselito Mendoza led the ceremonial tasting together PAGE 6 PLEASE Arrest warrant issued vs. CIDG man BY JOEY PAVIA CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – The Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 41 issued a warrant of arrest against the suspect in the brutal killing of three persons at a bar near the Pampanga Police Office here last August 22. Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Pampanga Chapter President Atty. Aramis Benoza disclosed that Branch 41 Judge Divina Luz Simbulan had issued on September 11 a warrant of arrest against Benedicto Pasiguen of this city, a non-uniformed personnel of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG). The IBP offered free legal services to the family of the victims identified as Melanio Salonga, 49 and his son Jefferson, 24, and Mark John Manalese, 20. Benoza said the multiple murder case was originally raffled off to RTC branch 43. But the presiding judge inhibited himself because the brother of the complainant works at the said branch. It could be recalled that Pasiguen shot the three victims at the Fraulein Grill Bar after they figured in an argument with the suspect’s friend, Alex Briones. Atty. Paul Maglalang, IBP-Pampanga secretary, earlier asked the regional police authorities to impose sanctions on members of Pampanga police for “inaction.” He added that the grill bar is located “within spitting distance” from the provincial office where Pasiguen reportedly ran to without being arrested. ( PAUNAWA Miriam inaugurates Tarlac school building TARLAC CITY—Feisty Senator Miriam DefensorSantiago inaugurated the newly constructed twostorey, eight classroom school building she donated to the Tarlac National High School [TNHS] at the Urquico Memorial Field here last week. The P11-million worth school building came from the Priority Development Assistance Fund [PDAF] of the lady senator who said in her speech that she is just happy to use her allotted funds for the betterment of the educational system in the country. After the inauguration and turn-over of the school building, a program at the TNHS covered court was held with Santiago as guest speaker. “I have only one message today not only to our voters in the audience but to the entire populace of our country. Like you students, your idealism will see you through life as it unfolds before you. This is life in a developing country,” she said. She further stated that the country is rich in natural resources but the Philippines is still poor because most government officials are corrupt. “Ladies and gentlemen, the future of the Philippines lies in your hands, we should not look into other countries. We should look into our hearts for the answer to our problems,” Santiago pointedout. The lady senator like- wise urged voters to “vote only for young and idealist candidates like Governor Victor Yap” which elicited great applause and cheers from the jampacked crowd. “The idealism of young politicians is needed that is why I charge Gov. Vic to be your role model,” she said. Yap for his part said that the foundation day of the oldest public high school in the country is an important day because of the presence of Santiago who had given much assistance to the province. “A very brilliant statesperson has given her time to be with us today…I would also like the people to know that there are a lot of projects that our guest of honor, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago has given to the province apart from the school building we just inaugurated,” he said. The governor further said that Santiago is a charismatic Philippine icon idolized by all the people throughout the country for having such an intellectual brilliance and the undisputed campus heroine. Department of Education Undersecretary Ramon Bacani likewise attended the affair together with provincial and local officials, members from the academe, the Philippine National Police and the faculties and students of TNHS. —PIO Media Affairs CEB now 4th in Asia’s Top 10 budget airline list PUNTO!

Central Luzon: September 14, 21 & 28, 2009 THINK GREEN P3.7M-fund readied for relief operations BY ERNIE B. ESCONDE HERMOSA, Bataan- The provincial government and two municipalities have set aside P3.7 million from their calamity funds for distribution of relief goods to 20,000 families or more than 100,000 persons affected by flash floods in Dinalupihan and Hermosa towns in Bataan badly hit by the recent flash floods. Gov. Enrique Garcia approved the release of P2 million while Mayor Efren Cruz Jr. of Hermosa and Mayor Joel Payumo of Dinalupihan upon recommendation of their respective town councils readied P0.6M and P1.1M, respectively. Distribution of packs of rice and assorted canned goods, coffee and sugar started Wednesday and continued until Friday. The GMA Kapuso Foundation handed 1,200 packs consisting of rice and canned goods to affected families in Dinalupihan Wednesday. Volunteers were busy repacking rice, canned goods and other items in Hermosa and Dinalupihan while big dump trucks from the Bataan capitol assisted by Army reservists delivered relief goods to long lines of barangay folk. “Maraming salamat,” an old woman holding her ration said smiling. In Hermosa, five of 21 barangays affected by flash floods were still under water Thursday. At the height of the floods, most of the barangays were submerged in water, the deepest with more than eight feet. “As of Thursday, flood waters are five feet deep in barangays Pulo and Almacen,” Cruz 3 bangkay ng sikyu ng minahan natagpuan na NI JOHNNY R. REBLANDO BOTOLAN, Zambales — Ang bangkay ng tatlong security guard ng Jago Mining Corporation ay nahukay ng mga tauhan ng Philippine Army, 315th Zambales Provincial Mobile Group at mga volunteers nitong Biyernes matapos ang may tatlong araw na search operation sa Barangay Porac ng bayang ito. Ayon kay Arnold Mari, OIC Security Supervisor ng Mellgos Security Agency naunang nakuha ang mga bangkay nina Amor Metran at Patricio Diaz, at makalipas ang ilang oras ay ang kay Celso metran naman. Sinabi ng mga awtoridad na ginamitan nila ng backhoe para mahukay ang putik at tipak ng bato sa kinababaunan ng mga biktima na umaabot sa may limang talampakan ang lalim at nakuha rin ang isang shotgun na gamit ng mga security guard. Naunang napaulat ang pagkawala ng tatlong security guard noong Martes (Sept.8) habang nasa kalakasan ng ulan nang matabunan ng landslide ang kanilang bunkhouse at guardhouse sa nasabing lugar. said, adding that this was the worst flood they experienced “because of the heavy rains.” Other villages still affected by high flood waters are A. Rivera and Daungan. Motorized bancas were used to reach Almacen and Pulo. Dinalupihan municipal administrator Fer Manalili said of the 26 barangays affected by flash floods, six remained flooded the most with three feet deep water. These barangays are Layac, Daan-Bago, Sta. Isabel, A. Mabini Extension, Luakan and San Ramon. Governor Garcia said he has written and appealed to Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to fund the flood control program supposed to be implemented at a portion of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway to lessen flooding in Dinalupihan and Hermosa. Lands planted to rice near the SCTEx were submerged in deep water that looked like a vast sea during the height of the floods. On Thursday, some portions of the denuded ricelands were partly dried but the plants seemed wilting. The governor also spelled his continuous no let-up campaign against illegal logging and the program on massive reforestation of the bald forests n the province through aerial seeding of 20 million seeds of various variety of trees. “One of the major causes of flooding is our denuded forests and we have to do something,” Garcia said. Village chief-teacher eyes council seat BY JOEY PAVIA ANGELES CITY – “I will work for legislations allowing more funds for an expanded college scholarship program.” Thus said Salapungan Barangay Chief Robert Yeen as he announced his plan to run for councilor in the 2010 elections. A long-time history teacher at the Holy Angeles University (HAU), Yeen said he had supported free quality education since becoming a Kabataang Barangay chairman in 1985. He had allotted a portion of his barangay’s Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) share to fund his scholarship projects. “I have been helping poor but deserving students since my first term as village chief. That was the time that running for councilor had not crossed my mind yet,” said the two-term barangay chief, who recently finished his masteral degree in public administration at HAU. “I simply believe that education is the only permanent solution against poverty and other forms of chaos in society,” added Yeen, who joined other Liberal Party (LP) members when Sen. Noynoy Aquino proclaimed his intention to run for president last week. Yeen said that the “next city government should provide modern hospital equipment such as dialysis machines in public hospitals.” He added that he will work for job generation and low-cost housing for the people once elected councilor. A political science and law graduate, Yeen will join the team of mayoralty aspirant Balibago Barangay Captain Rodelio “Tony” Mamac. Yeen and Mamac vowed to support the candidacy of re-electionist First District Rep. Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin. Yeen (left) with his idol, Sen. Aquino at the recent LP party meeting. PUNTO! CENTRAL LUZON • SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 • MONDAY NOT SNOW BUT SOAP. What appears to be snow is actually soap bubbles caused by the flooding of a nearby soap store along MacArthur Highway in Malolos, Bulacan. Posing hazard to motorists’ safety. 3 O p i n i o n Young Ople’s account on Mar ‘It’s Lapid, stupid’ acaesar.blogspot.com Zona Libre Bong Z. Lacson So ordained in the 1987 Constitution, Article III, The Bill of Rights, Section 4. No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances. PUNTO! CENTRAL LUZON • SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 • MONDAY The Right of Reply Bill is a mockery, nay, a negation of that constitutional provision. 4 IGNORANCE THAT we, being good Christians, should readily forgive. That was one Born-Again fellow who had the misfortune of sharing my table at Starbucks, SM City Pampanga this weekend. It was a retort to my ribbing him of Senator Lito Lapid’s statement, translated to English now: “They say that the Capitol has so much money now, but where are their projects that should be benefitting the people? The people are in misery and not even a single sack of rice has come their way out of the Capitol.” The B-A guy, of course, is an ardent supporter of Gov. Eddie T. Panlilio. And, true to his calling, he would not just let pass anything negative said of his governor. Even as we forgive Lapid, as Christians too, we are duty-bound to take him out of his ignorance. So let me tell you this, with the hope of passing it on to Lapid and to his advisers for their enlightenment. I will write it in my column, I told him. And this is it. Yes, we have the money at the Capitol, thanks to the moral integrity and uprightness of Among Ed – all P413 million in quarry collections the past two years. For the first semester of this year alone, a total of P143,919,500 has been collected. From these sums, the rightful shares of both barangays and municipalities in the quarry areas have been religiously distributed. So how much did Lapid and his son bring into the Capitol coffers in their 12 years of misrule in Pampanga?P155,626,000, which Among Ed could easily collect in seven months! Wow, all those statistics at your fingertips? As good Christian soldiers, we are ever ready with our arms for battle. Yeah, I can almost hear the boom, the marching cadence — Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go! Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee; On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Victory over ignorance – not only of Lapid but of a number of the Kapampangans – is indeed the noble cause of Among Ed. The Kapampangan is in dire need of enlightenment. As you yourself said over both Infomax 8 and CLTV-36 not too long ago: E mu tatasan ing kamulalan da ring Kapampangan (Do not underestimate the gullibility of the Kapampangan). Yeah, I said that in the context of Lapid getting elected governor three times by landslides of votes despite his own admission of being unschooled, in spite of the cases of graft and corruption filed against him and his suspension from office by the Ombudsman, plus the perceived wealth of his family even as the quarry income of the province suffered. So, who are we now talking about? It’s Lapid, stupid! Ouch! Ain’t we as good Christians supposed to refrain from uttering words that could hurt our brothers’ feelings? No harm meant there, brother, just emphasizing a point a la Bill Clinton: “It’s the economy, stupid.” Remember? Anyway, Lapid asked about the projects of Among Ed? So I will indulge him: In infrastructure development, the Capitol has invested P232 million for the construction and repair of roads, canals, government facilities, public schools, hospitals and covered courts. In social development, Among Ed has allocated P31.5 million for health programs, P26.5 million for supplemental feeding and P92.7 million for the marginalized sectors, including the senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Another P22 million was spent for the Philhealth cards of over 10,700 indigent Kapampangans. In the field of education, P3 million worth of assistance has been given to summer student workers and funded 7,940 government scholars. The agriculture and aquaculture sectors got P41.9 million. While entrepreneurs were extended P6.15 million in micro-financing and livelihood loans. There are the projects. You can assume from there the number of Kapampangans benefited. And alll these in just over two years of Among Ed’s administration. Now, for their 12 years at the Capitol, what have the Lapids to show the Kapampangan other than the Palaces in Porac and their fleet of sports utility and luxury vehicles? That is not for me to answer. Ask Bernie Cruz, Lapid’s self-proclaimed spokesman. Ay, you won’t get anything there. I remember him being quoted in the media as saying the Lapid camp would not answer accusations of wrongdoing by the returning governor. Better ask Deng Pangilinan. He is more open, if not more rational. Meanwhile — Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before.

Central Luzon is a proud member of The Philippine Press Institute ON THIS DAY in 1959 a Soviet rocket crashes into the moon's surface, becoming the first manmade object sent from earth to reach the lunar surface. The event gave the Soviets a shortlived advantage in the "space race" and prompted even greater effort by the United States to develop its own space program. In 1957, the Soviets shocked the United States by becoming the first nation to launch a satellite into orbit around the earth. Sputnik, as it was called, frightened many Americans, who believed that the Soviets would soon develop an entire new class of weapons that could be fired from space. U.S. officials were especially concerned, for the success of Sputnik was a direct rebuke to American claims of technological and scientific superiority over the communist regime in Russia. It was a tremendous propaganda victory for the Soviets, and gave them an edge in attracting less-developed nations into the Soviet orbit with promises of technological aid and assistance. The United States responded by accelerating its own space program, and just months after Sputnik, an American satellite went into orbit. In September 1959, the Soviets upped the ante considerably with the announcement that a rocket carrying the flag of the Soviet Union had crashed onto the moon's surface. In Washington, a muted congratulation was sent to the Soviet scientists who managed the feat. At the same time, however, the United States warned the Soviet Union that sending the Russian flag to the moon gave the Soviets no territorial rights over the celestial body. Vice President Richard Nixon expressed some sour grapes by noting that it took the Soviet four tries to hit the moon and reassured Americans that "We are way ahead" in the space race. Nixon's reassurances aside, the Soviet success in sending a rocket to the moon provoked even greater effort by the United States to gain an advantage in the space race. In 1960, presidential candidate John F. Kennedy made it one of his campaign themes. After winning the election, President Kennedy increased spending for the space program and vowed that America would send a man to the moon by the end of the decade. In 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Source: www.history.com Puntong Bulacan Dino Balabo MUCH HAS BEEN written on Senator Mar Roxas’ sacrifice at Club Filipino and the following events that ended with Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s formal declaration of his presidential bid on Wednesay, September 9. But not much was written on how people close to Mar felt when he announced that he is giving way to Noynoy on September 1. One of those present at Mar’s announcement was Susan “Toots” Ople, youngest daughter of the late Bulakenyo statesman Blas F. Ople who worked with Mar as communication consultant for three years. While working as her father’s Chief Of Staff in the Senate, and later at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Toots is my publisher in the now defunct “Malolos Times” from 2000 to 2004. This relationship allowed me to be in touch with her until now. Thus, when I read her post on Facebook, I immediately asked her if could reprint it and she replied in the affirmative. Below is Toots’ sincere and heartfelt blow-by-blow account on Mar’s sacrifice entitled “Mar was wrong.” I knew it was coming but was stunned just the same when I heard it. Claiming my space in the crowded Gabaldon room of Club Filipino, I saw him enter the room, my former boss, Mar Roxas in blue, smiling and with a sparkle in his eyes. If he was in pain, he didn’t show it. Butch Abad, campaign manager of Noynoy Aquino in 2007 and of Mar for 2010, opened the press conference. Liberal Party chairman emeritus Sen. Jovito Salonga was seated with Mar at the presidential table. The heat was rising as warm bodies jostled to get the best shot, or have the main speakers directly in their line of vision. Suspense was palpable. Mar stood up and read a prepared statement. Short and sweet. Country above self, he said. Noynoy wanted to carry the torch. Even before his speech was over, the new LP presidential bet came in and joined the main figures at the presidential table. No Q & A. In a matter of minutes, the torch was passed, and Mar of those silly padyak ads became Mar the selfless leader who saved his party. Sometimes I think our political system is so broken, that we only strive to listen when a politico publicly and uncharacteristically slices his beating heart open for all to see. Now that he has done so, perhaps more people will be more open to getting to know the real Mar, the one that even he tries to downplay with his immediate staff. For three years, I worked for him as communications adviser/consultant and chief of staff. It was sometimes exasperating though many times edifying working for someone who insisted on his own favorite font, Sylfaen, and the institutionalization of “headers and footers.” We would sometimes go back and forth, working on a particular speech, with me ending up exhausted trying to take all of his ideas and historical perspectives in. Sometimes, I felt like I was drowning. But then there was that other side of Mar. The kind who would buy an entire batch of ice cream from a sorbetero just so the man could go home early rather than stand for hours under a scorching sun; or who would stop a presentation of a government functionary to inquire about the department’s budget for toner - the logic being if the presentor had used a plain background for his slides then the printed copies would require less toner, but since he didn’t then maybe the department had too much money for toner. He was funny and unpredictable, in that way. I remember during my early days on the job, he told me - perhaps to warn me — that he was not the nurturing type. He doesn’t have the patience to “mentor” people, he said. Yet for the three years that I worked for him, I learned how business principles can actually be applied to politics and governance to make the system work. I learned how attention to detail is key to a successful preparation towards memorable and meaningful events. I learned how education matters whether it be for the rich or poor, because the rich also requires an education that can only be derived from having the humility to bow down and listen. Last night, when I was claiming my space at the crowded Gabaldon room at Club Filipino, I turned to my left and saw Thea, Mar’s close-in aid since Congress, trying her best to hold back the tears. She failed, miserably. In front of me were Mar’s cousins, nieces and nephews, watching him from across the room, sad yet as always, united in their love and respect for Mar. I heard Melchor, one of Mar’s political officers, shout from the back, “Oras na! Roxas Na!” and saw Chito Gascon of the Liberal Party and Mar’s political campaign director, doing the same. After the press conference, I was told by my friend, Rose Romero, that Mar’s staff and supporters will proceed to the Cubao campaign HQ otherwise known as Balay ni Mar. Famished, Fort, Danton Remoto, John Laylo and myself opted to grab a quick bite at nearby Gloria Maris before proceeding to Cubao. Throughout the meal, we kept going over the events that could have led to the announcement. I shook my head, knowing how excruciating this decision was for such a competitive person like Mar. At the Balay, Mar was his usual gracious and outgoing self. He gave comforting hugs to those who were there, quite a few who have several questions to ask but opted to hold back and wait for more decisions to be made. Photos were taken, a banner was pulled out by the members of the communications team, Tita Judy Roxas, Ria and Gus were there together with Korina, entertaining the guests and just talking about what transpired that fateful night. It felt more like a family gathering than a political get-together of allies and friends. I left the campaign HQ thinking to myself how wrong Mar was. The tears of his staff proved that he nurtured and taught them well. The inexplicable sadness - a certain mourning for what could have been — the collective inability to articulate with more gravitas what has transpired, is a manifestation of shock, that such selflessness could come so early in this political run-up from a man who could have easily stood his ground as party president and chief fundraiser. Mar was wrong. He is the nurturing type. He had a dream but chose to nurture a party, and with it the vision, ambition and dream of another man. History alone will say if Mar’s sacrifice would yield the best dividends for the country. At the very least, the public got to see a different side of Mar, the giving side that one equates with principles rather than price tags. Now is a good time to cultivate, nurture and explore that other dimension of a Mar Roxas leadership, and not because he needs anyone’s vote, but simply because he is what he is. For now, I wish my former boss and good friend, Mar Roxas, the best that life has to offer — a Sudoku session in the quiet of his living room, perhaps a new dog like his old friend Barney, more time for golf, and of course, a lifetime of happiness with Korina. Politics? In the afterglow, perhaps. But if he doesn’t? Life goes on, leaving us with even lesser choices. Let’s Talk About it Minerva Zamora-Arceo Beyond 2010 THERE IS no doubt about it.

Just recently, Luciano and a couple of CIAC officers sealed yet another victory in the comfort of the overseas Filipino workers. Luciano’s team met hundreds of OFWS in Hong Kong and easily got their nod and support for DMIA. The Bayanihan Kennedy Town Center was packed with our kababayans on August 30. With their carrying theme “Para sa Iyo, Ang Airport na Ito,” probably an adaptation of the lines of the great boxer Manny Pacquiao, the CIAC team immediately won the hearts of the OFWs. It was the first ever international roadshow of CIAC. Luciano said the roadshow is an opportunity for them to inform the people that there is an airport right at their doorsteps that can bring them to various Southeast Asian countries for business or employment. “And in the case of our OFWs, most of which come from the Northern Philippines, the frequent and low-cost flights at the DMIA mean they can come home more frequently and economically,” Luciano stressed. Luciano was very overwhelmed with the OFWs warmth and support. He did expect it. But Luciano deserves such acceptance for he is a man of many surprises too. When he visited Baguio City, he immediately read the minds of the people of the North. An intelligent and rational man, he was very quick to say that CIAC and DMIA will help Loakan Airport find its way for improvement and development. And recently speaking with the OFWs, he pointed out the advantages of DMIA as compared to other gateways in the Philippines. Its proximity and accessibility are its foremost advantages. On top of this, DMIA already hosts foreign and local carriers that include Air Asia of Malaysia, Tiger Airways of Singapore, South Korea’s Asiana Airlines and local carriers Cebu Pacific Air, the country’s leading domestic carrier, and South East Asian Airlines (Seair). Cebu Pacific Air is an unfailing supporter of the promotion efforts for the DMIA, its fourth hub in the country. The country’s leading domestic airline has been present in all the CIAC’s roadshow activities in Luzon and has raffled off free roundtrip tickets to ASEAN destinations to promote their flights at the DMIA and the airport. Meanwhile, Zest Air, a new local carrier, will start its Clark-HKClark route on September 21 while Spirit of Manila Airlines (SOMA) is also expected to start operations from the DMIA soon. According to Luciano, ‘the expected increase in flights is adding to the popularity of the airport and is boosting its viability as the country’s premier airport which is in line with President Arroyo’s declaration of the DMIA as the country’s next premier international airport and best logistics and services hub in the Asia Pacific Region.” Luciano is indeed a man ahead of his time. A visionary, he was able to stir excitement at the DMIA and all over the country. The tourism roadshows of CIAC are actually gaining confidence for the airport. The more people learning abaout what DMIA and Clark can offer, the better chances we have in promoting the metro Central Luzon aerotropolis. During an earlier talk with DOT Region 1 Dir. Manny Valera, he said Central Luzon, especially Clark is the heart of Luzon and there is no doubt that in the next few years, tourism will increase. Clark, he said, is the best jump off going to the South and the North. Valera added that the airport is likewise the center of all of these activities. So there is no doubt. Again, Luciano is moving towards the right direction. I just hope that he could encourage the local government units and the national government as well to build more architectural wonders and other man-made destinations so as to atarct more tourists. Although, I know the man cannot do it all but he has the charisma and the credibility to push for something big such as these. For example, we need to build a huge Pinatubo memorial Center that would relive the eruption, the Pinatubo disaster and its impact to the world, the history that followed, the people affected by the disaster and how we rebuilt our dreams and our lives. Just like the Holocaust memorial, there should be an edifice or a center, with a state-of-the-art gallery, ampitheater, and all the works that would become a top tourist destination in Central Luzon. Mt. Pinatubo will not erupt in another 600 years or more, therefore we are building not for our generation but for the rest of the generations to follow. Another suggestion which I first got from Ninong Ding Cervantes is a giant tower of angel that could be erected in the middle of Astro Park or inside Clark. The monument should be gigantic because size matters and the story behind the construction is another attraction. These are just crazy ideas but who knows, someday you will find out that they are what we need to contain more tourists in our region. PUNTO!

PHOTO BY MALOU DUNGOG national airport, the SBIA can host just about any kind of air transport requirements, singling out Subic’s cargo-sorting capability as its edge over other airports in the country today. “We urge cargo airliners to start making their inquiries here at the SBIA this early, and see for themselves its complete cargo-sorting facility, and the Freeport advantages that made FedEx’s operation here successful,” said Arreza. Arreza also said he expects more flights to and from Subic in the near future, as the SBMA aggressively promotes business and tourism establishments here. To this, PPA’s Jimenez concurred, saying that Subic has a “very strategic location.” “A lot of tourists come here — foreigners and locals alike. It is also a booming place in terms of businesses,” said Jimenez, who also called on interested applicants for pilots, cabin crew, and maintenance personnel to inquire at PPA’s office at the SBIA here.

Ngunit kumpyansa din si Fernando na siya ang dadalhin ng partidong Lakas sa pagkapangulo at hindi si Teodoro sa dahilang siya ang orihinal na miyembro ng partido. Hindi rin aniya siya natatakot sa deklarasyon ni Aquino dahil sa iisang partido lamang ito nagmu- la at nagpalitan lamang ng ulo nito dahil sa pag-atras ni Sen.Mar Roxas. Maging ang pagbibigay ng pagsuporta kay Aquino ng mga gobernador sa ibat-ibang lalawigan ay hindi rin natigatig si Fernando dahil sa marami pa aniyang gobernador sa bansa. Ngunit ani Fernando, sakaling hindi siya ang manukin ng partido sa pagkapangulo ay gagawa pa siya ng ibang paraan sa pagtakbo sa pinakamataas na posisyon ng bansa. Hindi rin umano niya iniisip na siya ay tatakbo sa pagkabise pangulo kungdi ang kanyang preparasyon ay ang pagkapangulo lamang.

Sec. Pamintuan, who is also the Presidential Adviser for External Affairs, described the work of SCADC as a partnership where harmony has been a very significant element in its success. “But if we would like to set the stage where the objectives of this Congress will be realized, we must expand this partnership and bring all stakeholders into the picture,” he said, expressing the need for a wider linkage with the Congress participants. He also announced the plans to convert the corridor delineated by the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) into a competitive logistics hub and a corridor of well planned expansion. He noted the distinct advantages of the corridor, including its strategic location, necessary infrastructures already in place, the airport and the seaport gateways, a sprawling land area, modern utilities, a qualified and competent work force and investor-friendly policies and procedures. The high point of the Congress saw the participants signing a resolution for the creation of a Regional Coordinating Council for Education and Employment. Said Sec. Pamin- tuan: “By signing the resolution, we have taken a bold step among others towards institutionalizing the reforms we need to change the economic landscape of Central Luzon.” The Secretary then left a thought-provoking notion to all participants, saying, “matching and integrating education and employment is not a matter of simple supply and demand, but a challenge of human dignity.

Kasabay nito, nagsalita rin si Angel na wala pa rin siyang ibang lalaki. Hindi raw totoo na silang dalwa na ni Sam Milby. Nagsalita na si Batangas Governor Vilma Santos ng kanyang reaksiyon tungkol sa pagtatampo ng showbiz press kina Luis at Edu Manzano. Ang isyu kay Luis ay ang pagiging playboy daw nito kaya sila nag-break ni Angel Locsin. “Matagal nang isyu ‘yang playboy image ni Lucky. I’m proud sa anak ko. But seriously speaking, sadyang malambing ang anak ko at kayo na ring taga-press ang magpapatunay na ganyan si Lucky. Super-makisama na nami-misinterpret ng iba,” paliwanag ni Ate Vi. Never din daw nakialam si Ate Vi sa break-up ng anak at ni Angel. Inamin din niyang close at mahal niya si Angel at naniniwala siya sa sinabi ng actress na walang nama-magitan sa kanila ni Sam Milby. Tulad din ng paniniwala niya sa anak na wala itong ibang babaing pinormahan maliban kay Angel.

CENTRAL LUZON • SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 • MONDAY Dads express disgust over drowning of city workers 8 ANGELES CITY – Councilors Jay Sangil and Ruben Maniago yesterday expressed disappointment over the drowning incident in Bataan province leading to the death of two city hall workers last Saturday. Sangil said that Odel De Guzman, 38 and Lester Tolentino, 22, both assigned at the City Mayor’s Office Records Section, should not have died if the order of the mayor banning team building seminars had been followed. It was reported that some 20 employees of the city executive’s office and led by City Administrator Mark Allen Sison and City Information Officer Lourdes Naguiat, held a team-building seminar last September 5 at the Sunset Beach Resort in Barangay Poblacion, Morong, Bataan, in spite of the already poor weather conditions. At around 5:30 p.m. of that same day, the two victims went for a dip at the shallow waters of the beach when a strong current suddenly hit both of them that sucked them away. The body of Tolentino was found after a few minutes. However, De Guzman’s body was not found until 3 a.m. of September 7, Monday, two days after the incident. Sangil and Maniago said what “displeased and surprised” them was that the seminar was pushed despite memorandum circular issued by the Office of the City Mayor earlier this year restraining all offices of the local government from holding such an event because of the budget difficulties of the city. “They should set an example to other departments of the government by at least abiding by their own rules,” said the minority councilors. “And should have been be prudent enough to see the danger of holding a seminar by the beach in bad weather.” In a text message, Sison said there was no memorandum issued by the mayor restraining the holding of seminars and that the event was a “personal outing.” “Sana e na la makisake, mete na la pin ring tau, kakanyanan la pa. Bahala na la reng kaladua da ring mete karing publicity-seekers, (We hope they don’t ride on the issue anymore. Why do they still bother the dead? Let the souls of the dead deal with these publicity seekers)” Sison texted. –Joey Pavia ANGELES CITY – Mayor Francis “Blueboy” Nepomuceno stressed that his government had performed well with eight more months remaining until the 2010 elections. In statements issued by City Administrator Mark Allen Sison on Friday, Nepomuceno said his 4.7 performance management system (PMS) rating given by the regional Department of Interior and Local Govern- ment (DILG) this year “speaks well of (his) achievement.” “The mayor wants to do even better and achieve the perfect 5 PMS rating from the DILG,” said Sison, disclosing that the first-term mayor got a 4.3 rating last year. Nepomuceno said he will focus more on sports and health care services in the remaining months of his first term. The mayor said he will work for the realization of the P813million sports complex, adding that “it will do more good than harm for the people.” Asked to comment about the negative comments of their political opponents, Nepomuceno said “it’s a free country and they can state their own opinion.” “But why do they have to resort to this political mudslinging to gain mileage?,” added Nepomuceno. Nepomuceno, a former three-term congressman, expressed confidence that his team will fare well in the next elections. Nepomuceno disclosed that incumbent Councilors Ric Zalamea, Pogs Suller, Dan Lacson and Rudy Simeon will join his ticket. He added that Zalamea will be his runningmate for vice mayor. Nepomuceno said their lineup is complete but could only mention three of the aspiring councilors. They are Pengot Del Rosario, Alex Indiongco and Atty. Bryan Nepomuceno.
