Ani Garcia, kada oras ay 10 Pilipino sa buong bansa ang namamatay sanhi ng paninigarilyo. Dagdag pa niya, 87 porsy-ento ng mga namamatay sa kanser sa baga ay sanhi ng pani-nigarilyo. Inilahad din ni Garcia ang pagbaba ng bilang ng mga

lalaking nani-nigarilyo at ang pagda-mi ng mga nani-nigarilyong kababaihan. Binigyang-diin niya na nanatiling kabilang ang Pilipinas sa 10 bansa sa

buong daigdig na may mataas na isidente ng paninigarilyo. Base sa kanyang iprenesintang datus, ang ibang mga pin-akamahirap na Pilipino ay gumagastos ng P1,865.40 kada taon para sa sigarilyo. Dagdag pa ni Garcia, malaking halaga na sana ito upang maidagdag sa pambili ng pangunahing pangangailangan ng pam-ilya. Hiniling din ni Garcia ang pakikiisa sa panawagan sa pagbubuo ng mga batas na makatutulong sa kam-panya laban sa paninigarilyo. (PIA4B/DOS/MSM)

ologists gather items around a limestone coffin at Mount Kamhantik, near Mula-

remnants of what they believe is a 1,000-year-old village on the jungle-covered

mountaintop in the Philippines with limestone coffins of a type never before

found in this Southeast Asian nation, officials said, Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012.

From AP The Big Story Sept. 20, 2012 by Jim Gomez

"Archaeologists have unearthed remnants of what they believe is a 1,000-year-old village on a jungle-

covered mountaintop in the Philippines with limestone coffins of a type never before found in this Southeast

Asian nation, officials said Thursday.

"National Museum official Eusebio Dizon said the village on Mount Kam-

hantik, near Mulanay town in Quezon province, could be at least 1,000 years old

based on U.S. carbon dating tests done on a human tooth found in one of 15 lime-

stone graves he and other archaeologists have dug out since last year…

"The archaeological site is part of 280 hectares (692 acres) of forest land that

was declared a government-protected area in 1998 to keep away treasure hunters

and slash-and-burn farmers. Treasure hunters looking for gold exposed some of the

limestone tombs years ago, but it was only last year that Manila-based archaeolo-

gists started to unearth the graves and artifacts and realize the significance of the

find.

"Treasure hunting has damaged many archaeological sites in the country. In

the early 1990s, Filipino archaeologists led by Dizon discovered that 2,000-year-old

burial jars with unique human face designs had been destroyed by treasure hunters

in a cave in Maitum town in southern Sarangani province.

"Archaeologists worked for a few years to glue the sack loads of clay shards piece by piece and restored more than 150

ancient burial jars to shape. Some of the Maitum jars are displayed at the National Museum in Manila with a plan to

exhibit them in France next year, Dizon said.”

New treasure-hunting activities in Marinduque Meanwhile, new reports of treasure hunting activities in Marinduque have resurfaced with diggers active again in an-

other site believed to be hiding buried treasures. They reportedly come equipped with hand-held jackhammers to drill

holes at the site. As in an earlier case concerning the digging of a suspected treasure site in Gasan that raised official

concerns from the town’s local officials, the same group of people is apparently engaged once again in such digging in

the new suspected treasure site with the knowledge of certain high-ranking local government officials.

Mulanay is a neighboring town of island-

Marinduque.

PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan, (PIA) -- The Philippines’ Tub-

bataha Reefs Natural Park Act (TRNP) or Republic Act 10067 has been shortlisted for the 2012 Future Policy Award, an international award

that celebrates effective and exemplary policies.

The international award is granted by the World Future Council

(WFC), an international policy re-search organization that provides

decision-makers with effective policy solutions. This year’s WFC Future

Policy Award celebrates the world’s

best policies for oceans and coasts.

Apart from the TRNP Act, 31 policies from 22 countries were nomi-nated which deals with integrated ocean and coastal policies; marine protect-

ed area programmes and laws regulating fisheries, trade in marine products,

marine litter and other land-sea interactions. Of these, only six policies are shortlisted coming from the United States of America, Namibia, Palau, South

Africa and the Philippines. In an article released by WFC, it says that the TRNP Act demon-

strates the critical need for national level policy to support local level action, giving permanence and power to local level institutions to confront regional

threats such as illegal fishing, poaching and destructive fishing practices un-

dertaken by foreign vessels. The WFC article

says that the TRNP Act has shown that with carefully planned manage-ment, local communities need not bear the burden of closed protected

areas, but can be their primary beneficiaries: as a nursery ground for

fish, the reefs are supporting local artisanal fisheries. This, it says, is an example of successful coral reef conservation and a model for action

on other coral reefs. The TRNP Act was authored by Sen. Anna Consuelo Madrigal,

Sen. Pia Cayetano and Sen. Loren Legarda while the House version

was originally filed by then Congressman Abraham Mitra in the 12th Congress. It was jointly re-filed in 2005 by Congressman Mitra and Pa-

lawan 1st District Congressman Antonio Alvarez, until the act was ap-proved on April 6, 2010.

The winning policy will be announced at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on September 26. Winners will be celebrat-

ed at the 11th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biologi-

cal Diversity in Hyderabad, India, in October. For this year’s theme, WFC is partnering with the secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD),

the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with sup-port from the Okeanos Foundation. (LBR/VSM/PIA4B-Palawan)

HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY !!

Marinduque Province

By Victoria Asuncion S. Mendoza PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan, (PIA) -- Dr. Welthy Villanue-va, a medical officer from the Roxas Medicare Hospital, was conferred with the 2012 Dangal ng Bayan Award by President Aquino at Malacañang yesterday. The 2012 Outstanding Public Officials and Employees award is given by the Civil Service Commission annualy in celebra-tion of September as Civil Service Month. This year, 28 individuals and groups were awarded under three categories: the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award which is conferred on an individual or group for exceptional contributions re-sulting from an idea or performance that has nationwide impact on public interest; the Dangal ng Bayan Award which is given to an indi-vidual for performing an extraordinary act or public service and the Pagasa Award for any individual or group’s outstanding contribution that directly benefits more than one government department. Villanueva and five other Dangal ng Bayan awardees re-ceived P200,000 each and a trophy designed by Napoleon Abueva, a national artist for sculpture. They are also entitled to an automatic promotion to the next higher position as provided for in Republic Act No. 6713 or the Code of Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. Villanueva was recognized for his unselfish commitment and generosity rendered to the poor members of the community, especially the members of indigenous people’s group. His services go beyond official time and place and transcends his job description as medical officer. Despite being diagnosed with cancer, he contin-ues to serve and help not only treating ailments but also in bringing opportunities for livelihood and education in the community. In his speech at the awarding ceremony, President Aquino lauded the awardees for putting the interest of the people first than their personal advancement. “Sila po ang mga lokal at pambansang opisyal na nanguna sa pagpapaunlad ng kabuhayan ng kani-kanilang mga nasasakupan; mga sundalo’t pulis, na kasabay sa pagtugon sa mga tungkulin bilang kawal ng bayan, ay isinusulong ang kani-kaniyang adbokasiya para sa ikabubuti ng lipunan. Sila ang mga guro at opisyal ng akade-mya na lalong pinatitingkad sa henerasyong ito ang halaga ng edukasyon; mga alagad ng kalusugan na una sa listahan ang kapa-kanan at kalagayan ng kapwa, lalo na ng mga higit na nangan-gailangan,” the President said. “Sila ang mga Pilipinong tuma-tawid mula sa pagiging lingkod-bayan, tungo sa pagiging isang ling-kod-bayani. Sila mismo ang magsasabi sa sambayanang Pilipino: isa akong kawani ng gobyerno, at ganito ang tunay na kahulugan ng serbisyo-publiko,” he added. The other Dangal ng Bayan awardees are Jocelyn Cariño, an alternative learning system mobile teacher in the Department of Education, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan; Melania Dirain, an ecosys-tems management specialist II in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region II, posthumous; Crisostomo Ibarra, administrative aide I, Antipolo Social Welfare and Development Of-fice; Editha Magallanes, president of the Capiz State University and Haydee Pasuelo, state auditor IV of the Commission on Audit Re-gional Office 6.

CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, (PIA) -- Inaprubahan na ng pamahalaang lungsod ang Annual Investment Program (AIP) para sa 2013. Ito ay matapos ang matagumpay na pagtalakay nito sa pangka-lahatang pagpupulong ng lupong pangkaunlaran ng lungsod na pinangunahan ni Mayor Doy Leachon na ginanap sa SP Session Hall sa

Barangay Guinobatan. Sa bisa ng isang quorum o majority attendance na binuo ng mga dumalong konsehales, kapitan ng mga barangay, hepe ng pamahalaang lungsod at mga kinatawan mula sa iba’t ibang sektor ng sangay ng pama-halaan, pormal na sinimulan ni Leachon ang pagpupulong kaugnay ng nabanggit na usapin. Layunin ng ginanap na pagpupulong na ipabatid sa mga stake-holders ang nakatakdang budget na nakapaloob sa AIP gayundin ang mga programa at proyektong paglalaanan nito. Mula sa kabuuang pondo ng pamahalaang lungsod, 20 porsyento ang magiging bahagi ng inapru-bahang AIP na tutugon sa mga pangunahing serbisyo publiko. Unang tinalakay ni Assistant City Planning and Development Co-ordinator Engineer Redentor A. Reyes Jr. ang aprubadong budget ng AIP noong 2012. Ang naturang pondo rin ang ginamit na basehan ng budget allocation para sa 2013 kung saan nagkaroon lamang ito ng kaunting pagbabagong naaayon sa kung saan may higit na pangangailangan ng mga mamayan. Tinalakay din ni Reyes ang mga karagdagang paglalaanan ng pondo ng gobyerno tulad ng ISA o Institute for Solidarity in Asia na kasa-lukuyang pinoproseso upang lalong mapaghusay pa ang kalidad ng pagseserbisyo sa mamamayan. Tulad ng budget ng nakaraang taon, halagang P6.1 milyon pa rin ang nilagak para sa edukasyon ng mga skolar sa Dalubhasaan ng Lung-sod ng Calapan (DLC), P2.75 milyon sa proyektong pang-nutrisyon at kalusugan ng City Health & Sanitation Department, P1.19 milyon sa mga programang pangkabuhayan at P2.02 milyon para sa mga proyektong pang-agrikultural na patuloy na aagapay sa bawat Calapeňo.

Ipinahayag naman ni Leachon na mula sa P10 milyon na pondo noong 2012 ay magiging P11 milyon na ang pondo ng Orange Health Card at isasama na rito ang mga funeral assistance sa 2013. Nanininiwala ang alkalde na higit na matutugunan ang dumaraming pangangailangan at bilang ng mga miyembrong mamama-yan ng programa sa pamamagitan ng paglalagak ng karagdagang P1 mi-lyon gayundin ang pag-ibayuhin pa ang naturang programa bilang Orange Card Plus. Bukod sa paglalahad ng mga matagumpay na programa at proyektong naisagawa ng pamahalaan nitong nagdaang taon, hiniling din ni Leachon na sana ay magpatuloy pa ang suporta ng bawat taga-Calapan para sa marami pang nakaabang na kapaki-pakinabang na proyekto ng pamahalaan.

A forester, a legislative staff, and a project evaluation officer proved to be writers and gender equity advocates in their

own right when they won the Civil Service Commission’s (CSC) Essay Writing Contest.

Besting 204 other contestants, the first place winner is Marlyn B. Delos Arcos (Forester I, Department of Environment and Nat-

ural Resources CENRO Tandag, Surigao del Sur), followed by Joselito Narciso B. Capariño, (Legislative Staff Assistant II, House of Rep-

resentatives, Quezon City), and Herita O. Macarubbo (Project Evaluation Officer II, Commission on Population, Tuguegarao City), in

second and third place, respectively. D o n e

in celebration of the 112th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), the contest was themed “Lingkod Bayani Working for Gender

Responsive, Accessible, Courteous, and Effective Public Service.” It aims to bring the attention of civil servants to government’s crucial

role in addressing issues relating to gender. In her essay

“Active Participation, Not Just Attendance,” Arcos discusses women’s participation in a male-dominated environment. She relays her

experiences in the field, and how she saw the potential of women in contributing to environmental and socio-economic development in

the community level. Capariño’s essay, “Ang

Lingkod Bayani sa Pagsusulong ng Isang Gender Responsive, Accessible, Courteous, at Effective na Serbisyo Publiko,” is the only win-

ning entry in Filipino. He focuses on the concept of equality in public service, and how it is every state worker’s obligation to ensure

fair treatment of people, regardless of gender. Macarubbo, on the other hand,

opted to explore strategies by which to eliminate gender-based discrimination in the way public service is rendered. Her essay,

“Making Public Service Gender Responsive a Reality,” presents gender sensitivity as an essential factor towards becoming a true serv-

ant-hero. Stella Eloisa Marquez-Fong, Devel-

opment Alternatives with Women for New Era (DAWN) Global Secretariat Program and Administrative Officer; Ma. Lourdes Venera-

cion Rallonza, Ateneo de Manila University Department of Political Science faculty member; Ricardo L. Saludo, former CSC Chairper-

son; and Rolando B. Tolentino, University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication Dean comprised the board of judges.

Winners received plaques and

cash prizes worth P30,000, P20,000, and P15,000 for the first, second, and third place, respectively. This is the second year that the CSC

held the PCSA essay writing contest. You may check out the winning entry on the official PCSA blog,

Lawmakers from the House of Representatives passed on third and final reading House Bill 6546 otherwise known as the PAGASA Modernization Act of 2010 just before it goes on recess recently. AGHAM Party-List Rep. Angelo B. Palmones, one of the principal authors of the bill, acknowledged the support of the House leadership, the committees, and his col-leagues in passing the legislative measure. “We all know and understand the importance of this legislation. With the recent weather-related disasters we experienced and suffered, we can no longer delay the neces-sary upgrading of facilities of the only govern-ment weather agency in the country,” Pal-mones said. Palmones added the location of the Philippines in the Pacific rim makes it a constant target and at risk from high impact weather related events such as typhoons, floods, storm surge, and droughts which pose threat to life and properties of the people, and the economy of the country. HB 6546 aims to provide PAGASA with state-of-the art facili-ties for national hydro-meteorological data collection, analysis, fore-casting, and reliable and fast warning and dissemination system. “Modern facilities will enable PAGASA to advance its opera-tional activity to “nowcasting” and mesoscale meteorology at localized community areas. The different parts of the country may experience contrasting weather systems; hence the need for localized weather forecasting, ” Palmones explained. Thus the bill authorizes the establishment of regional service centers in Tuguegarao for Northern Luzon, Legazpi for Bicol Region, Mactan for the Visayas, Cagayan de Oro for Northern Mindanao and Davao City for Southern Mindanao. Another component stipulated in the modernization program is the corresponding human resource development. “Data gathering, assessment and analysis require the spe-cialized knowledge of well-trained weather personnel, including under-graduate and graduate degree training,” Palmones said. Palmones added the bill mandates the University of the Phil-ippines at Los Banos (UPLB), Bicol University (BU), Central Luzon State University (CLSU), Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), and the Visayas State University (VU) to offer undergraduate degree in Meteorology within three years from enactment of this Act.

CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, (PIA) -- Bumisita sa

lungsod ang mga opisyal ng pamahalaang bayan ng Naujan

kamakailan para konsultahin ang mga pinuno ng lungsod at

mga kawani ng pamahalaan ukol sa best practices ng Cala-

pan. Kasama ang mga hepe ng bawat departamento, kawani

at buong Sangguniang Panlungsod, pinangunahan ni City Coun-

cilor Bong Brucal ang mainit na pagtanggap sa mga panauhin.

Sa kanyang mensahe, pinasalamatan niya ang mga delegado

dahil sa pagpili ng mga nito sa lungsod para sa kanilang Lakbay

-Aral.

Sa pangangasiwa ni City Information Officer Marvie

Mañibo, tinalakay ang mga patakaran at regulasyong nakapa-

loob sa The Discipline City Program ng pamahalaang lungsod.

Kabilang din sa mga proyektong ipinaliwanag ay ang traffic free

city, orderly public market, garbage-free city, helmet wearing,

No Jaywalking Policy, motorcycle parking bay, no smoking in

public areas, no liquor drinking along streets or roads, best po-

lice station in Mimaropa, 10-minute service at city hall, no uni-

form, no selling in wet market section, drug-free city, no driving

while under the influence of intoxicating liquor at ang wearing

of upper garment.

Usaping pangkalikasan naman ang tinutukan ni City

Environment and Natural Resources Officer Wilfredo Landicho.

Kanyang ibinahagi ang mga proyekto sa ilalim ng Green Cala-

pan Program na pinangangasiwaan ni Vice-Mayor Jojo Perez.

Tinutukan sa talakayan ang mga ordinansang may ma-

laking ambag sa pagsugpo ng mabilis na pagkasira ng kalikasan.

Kabilang sa mga proyektong ito ang pagbabawal ng paggamit at

pagbebenta na plastik, pagbabawal ng paninigarilyo sa mga

pampublikong lugar, pakikiisa sa monthly earth hour, tree plant-

ing, Monthly Linis Lungsod at pagkakaroon ng Materials Re-

covery Facility(MRF) sa bawat barangay para sa proper waste

management.

Naging sentro ng mensahe naman ni Mayor Doy C.

Leachon ang pagbibigay-kahulugan sa konsepto ng gobyerno.

Aniya, marapat lamang na magkaroon ang lungsod ng go-

byernong hindi nambobola kundi isang gobyernong nagtatra-

baho. Ang tunay na paglilingkod ay ang pag-ukit ng pagbabago

sa kaunlaran.

“Ang masayang pamumuhay ay nag-ugat sa tunay na

pagpapahalaga sa kung anong meron tayo,” pahayag ni

Leachon.

Ipinaliwanag naman ni Lea Carpio mula sa City Plan-

ning and Development Department na ang dalawang maha-

halagang best practices ng Calapan ay ang pagiging ISO

(International Organization for Standardization) certified nito at

ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa Instititute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA)

upang higit pang mapagbuti ang sistema ng pamamahala sa si-

yudad.

Samantala, ipinagmalaki naman ni City Human Re-

source Officer Rene M. Colocar ang best practices na ipina-

tutupad ng kanyang tanggapan para sa pamahahala at benepisyo

ng mga kawani ng pamahalaang lungsod tulad ng pagkakaloob

sa mga ito ng LIFE Card, isang uri ng insurance na magagamit

ng mga empleyado sa oras ng pangangailangan.

Binigyang-pansin din niya ang pagkakatayo ng Da-

lubhasaan ng Lungsod ng Calapan na tumutulong sa mga

maralitang kabataan upang makapagtapos sa kolehiyo sa pama-

magitan ng City Scholarship Program. (CIO/LTC/TBO-PIA4B

The Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agen-

cy (PNVSCA), together with the National Volunteer Month (NVM) Steer-

ing Committee and the Search for Outstanding Volunteers (SOV) Re-

gional Search Committees, has launched the SEARCH FOR OUT-

STANDING VOLUNTEERS 2012.

The SOV recognizes the exemplary performance and dedication of

Filipino volunteers, as this will in turn build strong communities across the

country. Since 2001, 96 volunteers and volunteer organizations were already

given honor and recognition through SOV. They serve in various sectors all

over the country. The volunteer effort serves as models, as they are consid-

ered best practices in volunteerism.

The SOV 2012 is composed of two award categories --- the Na-

tional Outstanding Volunteer Award (NOVA) and the Volunteer Lifetime

Achievement Award (VLAA).

The NOVA is a recognition conferred to outstanding volunteer

individuals and organizations, including corporate volunteering initiatives.

The VLAA, on the other hand is conferred to a Filipino volunteer or a Filipi-

no volunteer organization or a local chapter of a foreign volunteer organi-

zation serving in the Philippines for at least twenty-five (25) years.

The Search is open to all individuals of Filipino citizenship and

Filipino volunteer organizations, and local chapters of foreign volunteer
