CLARK FREEPORT -Clark Development Corporation(CDC) President-CEO Arthur Tugade and Clark Inves-tors and Locators Association (CILA) President ReneBanzon have signed a memorandum of agreement(MOA) to boost the productivity of persons with disabil-ity (PWD) from areas around this freeport.

The signing was witnessed by the officers of regis-tered PWD organizations in Angeles City and Mabala-cat.

The CDC said “the MOA formalizes the commitmentof both parties to join effort to go the extra mile inhiring persons with disabilities in Clark firms.”

“Both parties are to boost and achieve the objectivesof the government as embodied under RA 7277 knownas Magna Carta for Disabled Persons,” the CDC noted.

Under the MOA, both parties are to support the lawfor PWD “by pursuing initiatives and projects for therehabilitation of persons with disabilities to boost theirabilities to have a more meaningful and productive life.”

CILA is a duly registered non-profit non-governmentorganization formally established on February 22, 1996composed of locators and investors in this freeport forthe purpose of protecting the interest of its members,assisting locators to become globally competitive, andpromoting the CFZ.

The undertaking covered by the MOA is called “Per-

CDC prexy vows jobs for PWD’ssons with Disabilities Employment in Clark Program”or (PWD-ECP).

Sonny Lopez, CDC’s public relations chief whoinitiated the program said “the PWD in contiguous com-munities of Clark are very thankful to Atty. Tugade foradvancing and substantiating the program.”

During the signing, Tugade said ”I am serious inputting this MOA into action. A MOA is just pieces ofpaper until we bring life into it.”

“I am advising the physically challenged personsand those people around them to act normal. We arehelping the physically challenged persons not becausewe pity them but we believe in their abilities,” he said.

Tugade added, “We are being more aggressive inadvancing CSR matters. For one thing, I have specifi-cally pressed that provisions for hiring indigenous per-sons and PWD be included in agreements with newlocators. So far some are very willing.”

“Gusto ko rin baguhin ang pananaw na hanggangutility services at pa-vendor vendor na lang sila. Weshould give them meaningful jobs and preparations forbetter jobs,” he stressed.

He also said that “with the help of the MCAC LGUswe will prepare them so that they will be ready for theimpending influx of job opportunities”.

For his part, Banzon said “We will immediately dis-seminate the details about this MOA to all locator mem-bers and by the end of June, the implementation of this

MOA will be thoroughly discussed in the CILA generalmembership assembly.”

“We are contemplating on a special kind of jobs fairwhere we can really give opportunities to the PWD inareas contiguous to the CFZ,” he added.

THE MOSAIC is com-posed of more than a thou-sand slippers made in Tar-lac City. It covers an areaof 26 feet in width by 40feet in height. It is shapedafter the archipelago ofthe Philippines. The col-ors blue, yellow and redwith outlines, representsthe colors of the flag. Inits grandeur, one couldn’thelp but to wonder how

beautiful this country andits people are.

This endeavor is partof the mall’s drive called“Tsinelas ni Juan Para samga Batang Pinoy” whereall the flip flops used in thedisplay and those collect-ed from the donations ofthe shoppers, mall person-nel, affiliates, tenants,mall agencies and othersponsors will be distribut-

ed by SM City Tarlac toselected public elementa-ry schools in Tarlac Cityand and to Rated K’sTsinelas Campaign afterthe display from June 10to 1, 2013.

SM City Tarlac choseto have this as a center-piece for the 115th Philip-pine Independence Daycelebration to give astatement that there lies

a hero within each andevery free Filipino just likethe forefather heroes suchas Gen. Emilio Aguinal-do- the 1st Phil ippinePresident, Andres Bonifa-cio- the revolutionaryhero, and Dr. Jose Rizal-the national hero. The dis-play is also inspired bythe young Rizal’s anec-dotal story “Ang Tsinelasni Pepe”.

Failed, ab initio“…AND HAVING as witness to the rectitude ofour intentions the Supreme Judge of the Universe,and under the protection of the Powerful andHumanitarian Nation, the United States of America,we do hereby proclaim and declare solemnly inthe name and by authority of the people of thesePhilippine Islands,

That they are and have the right to be free andindependent; that they have ceased to have anyallegiance to the Crown of Spain; that all politicalties between them are and should be completelysevered and annulled; and that, like other freeand independent States, they enjoy the full powerto make War and Peace, conclude commercialtreaties, enter into alliances, regulate commerce,and do all other acts and things which anIndependent State has a right to do,

And imbued with firm confidence in DivineProvidence, we hereby mutually bind ourselvesto support this Declaration with our lives, ourfortunes, and with our most sacred possession,our Honor.

We recognize, approve, and ratify, with all theorders emanating from the same, the Dictatorshipestablished by Don Emilio Aguinaldo whom werevere as the Supreme Head of this Nation, whichtoday begins to have a life of its own, in theconviction that he has been the instrument chosenby God, in spite of his humble origin, to effectuatethe redemption of this unfortunate country asforetold by Dr. Don Jose Rizal in his magnificentverses which he composed in his prison cell priorto his execution, liberating it from the Yoke ofSpanish domination…”

Thus declared the Act of Proclamation ofIndependence of the Filipino People. At least fromthe English translation of the Acta de laProclamación de la Independencia del PuebloFilipino done in the town of Cavite-Viejo, Provinceof Cavite, June 12, 1898.

Independent Philippines, with the “SupremeJudge of the Universe” as witness; “under theprotection of the Powerful and HumanitarianNation, the United States of America”; andgoverned under the Dictatorship of Don EmilioAguinaldo, chosen by God Himself.

Destined to be a vassal state from the start.What independence are we

celebrating today?

Of un-independentmeans

IT’S INDEPENDENCE Day but all my thoughts are on our utterweakness as a nation to stand truly independent.

We have become menial to the world.Militants are not wrong in damning the IMF-World Bank as having

a stranglehold on our economy.And then, we are so pathetically wimpy in defending the national

territory.April 16 last year, we wrote here:

Chinese hegemony

“IN A state so insignificant our commerce would be a prey to thewanton intermeddlings of all nations at war with each other; who,having nothing to fear from us, would with little scruple or remorse,supply their wants by depredations on our property as often as itfell in their way. The rights of neutrality will only be respected whenthey are defended by an adequate power. A nation, despicable byits weakness, forfeits even the privilege of being neutral.”

So wrote in 1787 Alexander Hamilton, pen-named Publius, of the then fledgling United Statesin The Federalist No. 11, titled The Utility of theUnion in Respect to Commercial Relations and aNavy.

We are now that nation, most despicable atour weakest, forfeiting not just neutrality but ourvery own territory. Sabah is but a generationremoved from today, still relatively too recent tobe forgotten.

And last week, it was the Scarborough Shoal.The Chinese intrusion into the sandbank is

but the latest of that country’s infringement uponour territory, the area well within the Philippines’200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, asrecognised by international law.

To China, the shoal is but a part of its irredentistclaim to all of the South China Sea, includingwaters abutting the coasts of Vietnam, Malaysia,Brunei and the Philippines, not to mention Taiwan,which it has always regarded as its province.

To many, China’s Scarborough affair has foundan analogy in the stranger who barges into ahome, rapes the wife, and then proclaimsownership over the whole household. With the manof the house kept outside, a weakling reduced towhining.

Come to think of it, this is the second timethat we, as “a nation despicable by its weakness,”have forfeited territory to the China bully.

In February 1995, it was discovered that Chinahad already occupied the Mischief Reef in thedisputed Spratly Islands and set up structureswhich the Chinese said were meant to sheltertheir fishermen working the waters in the area.

Mischief Reef, claimed by the Philippines asPanganiban Reef, is 150 miles west of Palawan– well within the Philippines’ 200 mile exclusiveeconomic zone too, while it lies a very distant620 miles southeast of China.

Still, China had its way. No matter theprotestations of the Philippines and Vietnam, nomatter the alarms in the ASEAN over China’sterritorial aggressions, diplomatically termed“assertions.”

A powder keg in the South China Sea, so werethe disputed Spratly’s considered in many“strategic studies” since. The Scarborough Shoalnow providing an added fuse.

Defused last Friday, April 13, was the tensionat the Scarborough Shoal.

After days of stand-off seven Chinese vesselsincluding their marine survey vessel, the ZhungguoHaijan 75, left the area by noon, and around 7p.m., five more vessels pulled out leaving onlyone in the shoal. So reported Lt. Gen. AnthonyAlcantara, Northern Luzon Command chief.

“Wala nang tension [There’s no more tension].”So was Alcantara quoted as saying, underscoringthat the Chinese pull-out was “apparently the resultof the negotiation by our foreign department withthat of the Chinese counterparts.”

So all’s well that ends well?Not quite, from this corner.The quote from that little red book I have

consigned to memory – of the Great Helmsman’scounsel to the youth: “China is yours as well asours, but in the long run it will be yours” – gravelybothers me.

Paraphrased thus: “The Philippines are yoursas well as ours, but in the short run, they will beours.”

Chinese hegemony here. Or haven’t you yetnoticed who rules and reigns in this country, fromits economics to its politics? Sy, Tan, Go, Kong,Wei. Co-Wang-Co.

Wapelo.

SO WHAT has happened since?Filipino fishermen are totally excluded from the

Panatag Shoal, the Chinese having appropriatedit as their own territory.

The Chinese have intruded into – and damaged– the Tubbataha Reef, after the USS Guardiandevastated it.

The Chinese have been sighted closing onAyungin Shoal.

In February, Sabah was seared into thenational consciousness anew when the heirs ofthe Sultanate of Sulu tried – so vainly, and sobloodily – to reclaim it.

Meanwhile, it is reported that Japan will providepatrol boats to the Philippines to help the countrybolster its capabilities in the face of China’sgrowing presence in regional waters.

And the United States has provided thePhilippines with two warships - the BRP Gregoriodel Pilar, already doing the rounds of the Philippineseas, and the BRP Ramon Alcaraz that has sailedover the weekend from its North Carolina berth onthe way to the Philippines.

Cry, Freedom.

Sa dakong talampasigan, nakita ko ang aking buhay na parangbang nasa isang sinehan. Sa isang yugto na aking buhay nakitako iyong dalawang pares na bakas sa buhangin. Iyong isa ay iyongaking mamahalin na Nike at iyon naman isa ay iyong bakas ngaking best pren na walang sapatos o chinelas man lang.

Doon sa katapusan ng eksena ng aking buhay, sa akingpaglalakad, napansin ko na iyong bakas ay isang pares na lang nanaiwan sa buhangin.

Dito din sa pinaka mahirap at malungkot na bahagi ng akingbuhay na nawala iyong bakas ng aking matalik na Kaibigan atmukhang wala na sa aking tabi o kapaligiran.

Tumaas ang aking prisyon at ako’y nagwala at nagalit. Ito angtanong ko at hinanakit ko sa kanya...

Sabi mo sa akin... “Ikaw ay matalk kong kaibigan, best pren pakamo, at tunay na mapagkakatiwalaan.”

BCDA President andCEO Arnel PacianoCasanova said the BCDAremitted a total of P2.309billion worth of dividends tothe national governmentcovering the period Janu-ary to December lastyear.

”The amount repre-sents the national govern-ment’s dividends shareand the share of govern-ment beneficiary agenciesfrom BCDA’s asset dispo-sition proceeds,” he ex-plained.

The turnover rites wereheld during “Dividends’Day” held in Malacananglast June 3. The BCDAranked fourth among the

BCDA in GOCC’s billionaires’ rowGOCCs.

The Philippine Amuse-ment and Gaming Corp.(PAGCOR) remittedP7.182 billion, the LandBank of the Philippines(LBP) remitted P6.241 bil-lion, while the Develop-ment Bank of the Philip-pines remitted P3.166 bil-lion.

A total of 38 GOCCsremitted P28 billion in div-idends to the national trea-sury.

Casanova said theP2.3-billion generated byBCDA was achieved by“delivering our commit-ments to our partnerswhich resulted to collec-tion efficiency, better cashflow management and re-duction of receivables.”

He said the amountwould benefit government’santi-poverty programs andgovernment services andthe modernization of theArmed Forces of the Phil-ippines (AFP).

“The revenues generat-ed will go a long way toensure that there is inclu-sive growth and develop-ment for all. It will alsocontribute in modernizingour armed forces by ac-quiring the much neededhardware and equipmentto defend our land and ad-dress both internal andexternal threats,” Casano-va said.

He noted that “the rev-enues generated for theAFP Modernization Pro-gram would also beef up

the search and rescuecapabilities of the AFP tohelp our countrymen dur-ing natural disasters andcalamities.”

Under Section 3 of theRepublic Act No. 7656, allGOCCs are required todeclare and remit at least50 percent of their annualnet earnings as cash,stock or property dividendsto the national govern-ment.

Casanova pointed outthat the utilization and dis-tribution of the remittanc-es are the responsibilitiesof the Department of Bud-get and Management inaccordance with the ap-proved fiscal program ofthe government and thebudget guidelines.

do the auditing of the Co-juangco-owned HaciendaLuisita, Inc. (HLI).

The auditing procedureis in relation to the highcourt’s order in November2011, to distribute to farm-workers some 4,335 hect-ares of the hacienda landsowned by Pres. Aquino’sfamily. The court also or-dered HLI to give the farmworkers P1.33 billion astheir share from HLI’s saleof 580 hectares of landswithin the hacienda, andthis required auditing of thefirm which has earlier re-ported to have declared itno longer had enoughfunds.

KMP and Ambala not-ed that in petitioning the

Dismiss petition, order DAR...FROM PAGE 1 high court on the auditing

issue, the DAR raised fourissues, including the al-leged need for unanimityamong all parties inchoosing the auditing firm.The DAR named the par-ties as “HLI, Ambala,Farmers for Agrarian Re-form, Inc. (FARM) and/orNoel Mallari and Supervi-sory Group of HLI.”

DAR had earlier ac-cused the farm workers ofbeing in conflict amongthemselves in the choiceof auditing firm.

But in commenting onthe DAR petition, KMPand Ambala noted thatHLI, as the party to beaudited, “is deprived of theright to choose the audit-ing firm to audit its ownbooks. This is to maintain

the independence of theaccounting firm and regu-larity of the accounting pro-cess.”

Contrary to the DAR’sclaim that the farmworkerswere divided on the issue,KMP and Ambala main-tained that they had previ-ously already chosen theOcampo, Mendoza andLeong Lim Co. (OMLL) asthe auditing company oftheir choice.

“The DAR did not ap-prove of the farmworkers’choice because of HLI’sobjection and instead filedthe (clarification) petitionbefore the Supreme Court,”KMP and Ambala said.

They stressed that “itis not Ambala that delaysthe process but DAR,”adding that “clearly, DARby its actuations showsthat it is biased in favor ofHLI.”

KMP and Ambala alsolamented that while theDAR seemed to zero in onthe choice of auditing firm,

it has failed to look intoreports that the LandBank of the Philippines(LBP) has issued valua-tions for only 3,396 hect-ares instead of the 4,335hectares of hacienda landsthat the SC ordered for landdistribution.

They also noted thatthe valuation as almostP70,000 per hectare asland reform “compensa-tion” for the President’sfamily, contrary to the1989 valuation estimatingonly about P40,000 perhectare.

The KMP and Ambala,however, have insisted thatthe President’s family de-served no compensationfor land reform at the haci-enda, as they noted his-torical information that thefamily had signed agree-ment with creditors thatthey were supposed tohave turned over the landsto the farmworkers wayback in 1967.

Eh, si Angel?“Kumbaga, parang naiipit ako dito, eh. Ah, sige na nga, oo! Actually, si Enchong napakabait, eh. ’Pag naiisip

ko na siya ang kapatid ko, parang may lagi kang nauutusan. Meron akong laging mapapagalitan!“Napakabait talaga ni Enchong at malambing! Masarap kasama. Naalala ko nga ang kapatid ko sa kanya!”

tugon naman ni Angel na matagal nang crush ng young actor noong GMA days pa ng aktres.Sagot naman ni Bea, “Hindi! Feeling ko, mahal maging kapatid si Enchong! Ha! Ha! Ha! Pero sa totoong

buhay, parang kapatid ko na rin siya. Lagi siyang nandiyan kapag may importanteng events sa buhay ko. Alamniya ang istorya ng importanteng tao at importanteng bagay sa buhay ko. So brother ko na rin talaga siya!”

“Si Enchong po, kaibigan talaga ni Alex (Gonzaga), kapatid ko. Madalas ko na siyang nakikita at nakakasamadahil sa kapatid ko. Kaya pakiramdam ko, kapatid ko na siya in real life. Kasi wala akong kapatid na lalaki sopasado siya!” sagot naman ni Toni.

Hindi pa kasali ang kasalan sa planonina Shaina, Angel, Bea at Toni

APAT NA bigating aktres ang bida sa Four Sisters and a Wedding na sina Toni Gonzaga, Shaina Magdayao,Angel Locsin and Bea Alonzo kaya naman sa presscon na ginanap last Sunday ay kulitan talaga lalo na ’pagnapag-uusapan ang love life.

As we all know, sina Angel, Toni and Bea ay pawang mga successful ang love life ngayon at lahat ay nasatamang edad na para mag-asawa.

In fact, sa interviews ay ito parati ang natatanong lately sa kanila kaya curious ang lahat na malaman kungsino ba ang mauuna sa kanila.

Sa part ni Bea kung saan kinuha na niyang wedding singer si Toni, naitanong kung nag-propose na ba siZanjoe Marudo.

“Wala pa naman.”So, may chance pa na mabago ang groom?“Sana, hindi na.”Si Angel naman, aniya ay baka naman daw ma-pressure si Phil Younghusband na boyfriend niya kapag

nalaman ito dahil wala pa rin naman daw silang plano.“Sa tingin ko ang mauuna sa amin talaga, si Toni, tapos si Bea,” she said.Say pa ni Angel, napag-usapan na raw nilang apat kung ano ang magiging set-up ng kasal nila kung sakali,

pero sa kanila na lang daw ’yun.Si Shaina naman ay walang love life ngayon kaya lalong malayo pa sa isip niya ang kasal.Kasal talaga ang isa sa napag-usapan sa presscon dahil nga sa titulo ng movie na Four Sisters and a

Wedding.Cute at nakakaaliw ang trailer ng movie. First time na magkakasama-

sama ang apat na aktres kaya mukhang masarap ngang panoorin.Mula sa direksyon ni Cathy Garcia-Molina, showing na ang movie saJune 26.

Toni Gonzaga pinakikialamanpa rin ng magulang sa kanyang

personal na buhaySERYOSO naming tinanong si Toni kung wala pa ba talagangwedding plans since we remember few years ago na sinabi niyangthree years pa raw bago sila pakasal at parang ito na ’yungpanahong ’yun.

“Kaya nga ayoko nang magplano. Sabi ng daddy ko, ‘ayankasi, plano ka nang plano sa sarili mo.’ Akala ko kasi, pagdating kong 28, 29, 30, akala ko sobrang tanda ko na. Pagdating mo pala ng28, ang bata mo pa rin, so sabi ko, ‘ano ba tong pinagsasasabi konoon?’ Akala ko ang tanda ko na. Kaya ako na nagsabi.”

Ngayong June daw ang anniversary month nila at six yearsna sila ni Direk. Wala pa raw talagang wedding plans at saynaman daw ng mommy niya, ang pag-aasawa raw ay hindipinaplano at dumarating na lang. So, hinihintay na langdaw niyang dumating.

Kahit 6 years na sila ni Direk Paul ay marami pa rinsilang restrictions. Up to now ay hindi pa pala silaallowed na lumabas ng bansa nang sila lang.

“Napagod na rin akong magpaalam. Nag-attemptna rin ako minsan, nabigo lang ako. Sabi kasi ngmommy ko, kapag kasal na kami, malaya na rawkaming mag-travel, gawin ang lahat ng gustonamin. Pero hangga’t umuuwi daw ako sa bahayng mommy at daddy ko, kailangan ko rawmakinig sa batas nila.”

Tagaytay pa lang daw yata angpinakamalayo nilang narating. Puwede rawsilang lumayo basta’t kasama ang parentsniya.

Sa anniversary nila ay wala pa rawsilang plano at hindi niya rin alam kung

ano ang ibibigay niyang gift. Bakaraw time na lang ang ibigay niya.

“Bibigyan ko siya ng oras paranaman magkasama kami,” sayniya.

Little Brother ang turingnina Shaina, Angel, Bea

at Toni kay Enchong DeeBUNSO at nag-iisang kapatid na lalaki nina Toni, Bea, Angel at Shaina angrole ni Enchong Dee sa pelikulang Four Sisters And A Wedding na kick-offmovie para sa 20th anniversary ng Star Cinema. Pero kung sa totoong buhayang sitwasyon, ayaw niyang maging kapatid ang apat na aktres.

“Siyempre, hindi. Unang-una, sayang! Ha! Ha! Ha! Sayang.“Number two, hindi ko kayang makipagsabayan sa energy nila. Magdamag

sila kung mag-usap. Nakakapaos!“And number three, ano ba ’yung number three? Hindi kasi, kumbaga,

ngayon lang ’yung pagkakataon na makikita ko sila as kapatid. Siyempre,hindi,” katwiran ni Enchong.

Eh, ang mga girls, gugustuhin ba nilang maging kapatid si Enchong?“Hindi rin masyado! Ha! Ha! Ha!” sagot ni Shaina.“Sabi ko na nga, may pagtingin ka sa akin,” singit ni Enchong.“Ang kapal ng mukha mo! Hindi. Gugustuhin ko ba? Para na kasi siyang

little brother sa amin ni Bea. Kasi, isang handler lang kami.“Actually, nakakatuwa nga dahil para kaming nagba-bonding sa movie. So

hindi malayong magustuhan ko na magkaroon ng little brother sa ’yo, Enchong,”sabi pa ni Shaina.
