Lack of resources takes its toll on Philippine maritime protection, officials admitted, after a Chinese vessel got stuck on Tubbataha Reef late Monday.

Both the rangers of the Tubbataha Management Office (TMO) and maritime law enforcement agencies were unable to detect the Chinese vessel before it ran aground the protected marine park.

The TMO radar was turned off when the fishing vessel hit Tubbataha barely a mile away from the rangers' station, its head Angelique Songco said.

"We switch on our radar every three hours... Sometimes it's between those three hours that our rangers are blind," state-run Philippine News Agency quoted Songco as saying.

"We do not have the resources to keep the radar equipment on 24/7," Songco said further.

The Philippine Navy for its, part admitted that it "cannot guard every nook and cranny of our maritime domain."

Ships do not stay on guard in one area all the time, said Col. Edgard Arevalo, Navy spokesman for West Philippine Sea issues.

"

• ur borders are porous, and our coastline vast," he said, adding that "we have only a number of ships and aircraft to patrol our territorial waters."
  
  The latest grounding on Tubbataha Reef comes barely two weeks after the wreckage of a U.S. warship that hit the protected marine park had been removed.
  
  The Philippines is asking the U.S. to pay P58 million ($1.4 million) in compensation for at least 2,345 square meters of the reef damaged by its minesweeper USS Guardian.
  
  The incident also happened while the Philippines and China are embroiled in a dispute over territories in the West Philippine Sea.

  The unnamed 48-meter Chinese vessel is still stuck in Tubbataha as of press time, but the 12 suspected poachers aboard it have been escorted to Puerto Princesa where they will face charges.
  
  The fishing boat is the seventh Chinese fishing vessel caught inside the Tubbataha Reef since 2002, the TMO said in its website.
  
  No marine life was found in the vessel, but Songco had said the entry of foreign fishing vessels is "prima facie evidence they are engaged in fishing".
  
  The Tubbataha Reef is no-take area in the middle of the Sulu Sea, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  
  In addition to poaching, unauthorized entry, and damage to the reefs, corruption of public officials will also be filed against the Chinese nationals, TMO said.
  
  This, as it noted how rangers reported that the foreign fishermen attempted to bribe them with $2,400.

London, Mar 5 (ANI): A 12-year-old Indian girl has stunned everyone after she was revealed to have an IQ higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
Neha Ramu achieved a score of 162 on a Mensa IQ test - the highest score possible, the Telegraph reported.

Despite her young age, the score puts her in the top one percent of brightest people in the UK, which means she is more intelligent than Hawking, Bill Gates and even Einstein, who are all thought to have an IQ of 160.
Ramu's doctor parents, who lived in India before moving to Britain when their daughter was seven, had no idea their daughter was so gifted.
Although she had always performed well at school, it was only when she took an entrance exam for Tiffin Girls', a high-achieving grammar school, and achieved a perfect score of 280/280 that they realised her capabilities.
Two years later, she took the test for Mensa, a society for people with high IQs, and achieved the maximum possible score for someone aged under 18.
"I am so proud of her. Although she's being doing well at these kind of tests for sometime now this is just marvellous. I can't express the feeling," Neha's mother Jayashree said.
The score would be sufficient to get her into any Ivy League university. (ANI)

USA ka sex worker ang mireklamo gumikan sa kadako sa kinatawo sa kustomer, alas 3:00 sa kaadlawon kagahapon didto dalang Ilustre, Barangay 3-A siyudad sa Davao.

Ang babaye gitago lang sa pangalang Grace (dili tinuod nga pangalan), mireklamo kay sama kuno sa apple kadako ang tumoy sa kinatawo sa iyang kustomer.

Wala na hinuon madala sa presinto sa pulis ang maong reklamo gumikan kay miuli dayon ang lalaki sa kaulaw nga nagsige og yawyaw si Grace gumikan sa kadako sa iya.

Subay sa nakuhang taho sa Bombo Radyo-Davao nga nakaabot sa eksina, giyawyawan ni Grace ang lalaki nga wala sab mailhi. "Ikaw hitsurahan man ka, nganong gibutangan na nimo og collagen ang imong kinatawo? Tan-awa na karon mora'g apple kadako, dili ko nimo," suma ni Grace.

Nasayran nga nagkasabot sila si Grace ug ang lalaki nga magtagay og kalipay sud sa usa ka lodging house sa maong dapit.

Apan sa dihang didto na sila sa sulod sa lawak sa lodging house, kalit lang nga mikakak si Grace ug midagan pagawas tungod kadako sa armas sa lalaki.

Iyang giatngan ang lalaki sa gawas sa lodging house ug giyawyawan. Tungod sa kaulaw, misibat na lang ang lalaki aron nga di na tapuk-an sa daghang mga tawo.

Ano gid ni ya.

Si toto gid ako ya, bago lang gid ako.....
















nakaligo.

pres na pres gid ako subong.

DEAR Noy Kulas,

Ako si Ann, nagtrabaho sa usa ka ka kompaniya diri sa Middle East. Hapit na ko mag-napu ka tuig diri sa pagtrabaho. Ang akong bana mao ang nahabilin sa pag-atiman sa among mga anak.

Sa pipila ka tuig nga siya ang nahabilin, maayo pa man kaayo ang iyang pagdala sa mga bata. Nakapaayo mi sa among balay ug maayo ang pagtungha sa among mga anak. Lately, nausab ang dagan sa hangin. Tagsa na lang mi magkaestorya sa internet kay unyag tawag
nako sa balay, wa siya diha kay either toa sa silingan o iyang mga barkada nag-inom.

Nisulti ang among usa ka anak nga gawas nga magsige og inom ang ilan amahan, nakadungog siya og mga estorya nga nakat-on ni sa paggamit og drugs. Nangutana ko sa akong mga bayaw kon unsa ka tinuod, ni-deny man sila, apil na ang akong mga ugangan.

Kana ra ang akong nahibaw-an at this time. Maglisod ko og confront niya kay dali masuko ang akong bana. Mahadlok ko kon unsa unyay sangpotan kon modako ang among away.

Kay sa pagkatinuod lang, diri sa Middle East daghan ang mga temptation. Bisan medyo midako ko, daghan ang nanguyab nako diri. Usa nako ka officemate nga Arabo way undang sa pagsige og panguyab nako bisan sige ko og balibad.

Worried ko nga magkadugay mawagtang ang akong love sa akong bana. Nagkalahi na ang iyang tinagdan nako gud. Lahi kaayo sa una. Wa siya siya kasabot sa kamingaw ug grabeng sakripisyo nako diri. Unsa man kaha ang akong buhaton ani, Noy Kulas? Please tambagi tawon ko.

ANN

Ann,

Kon ang usa ka haligi sa balay nagkagabok na, maayo ba diay nga isakripisyo ang tibuok balay pinaagi sa pagguba niini? O ayuhon ang haliging nagkagabok aron di kini matumpag? Di ba palig-unan man ang haligi inay gub-on ang balay? Mao sab na sa kaminyuon. Kon dunay usa ka haligi nga huyang na, ayuhon kini aron malig-on og balik.

Busa, talk to your husband sa imong nahibaw-an labot niya. Kana bang estorya sa mga asawa nga kalma, kanang di paninghag. Women are good communicators baya kay namong mga lalake. Mas maayo mong modala og estorya busa estoryahe siya kay sa imong iluom ang imong gibati hangtod nga maguba ang inyong kaminyuon. Kon tugbangan nimo ang gibuhat sa imong bana karon, maguba ang inyong pagpuyo.

Dunay time nga ang problema sa earlier stage matabang pa og estorya. Communication pa ang imong gikinahanglan at this time aron ma-fix ang problema. Pagpatabang usab sa imong in-laws aron matambagan ba. But at the same time, ipa-monitor sa imong mga anak ang imong bana aron di masikwati ang imong kinitaan nga ipadala diri. Lisod na kon hasta ang kwarta alang sa pagtungha ug panginahanglan sa imong pamilya diri masikwati
sab tungod sa bisyo. Likayi na. Pangitaig paagi.

Ayaw pag-entertain anang tawhana nga nagsige og panguyab nimo kay maora kag nagkuhag martilyo aron idukdok sa imong ulo. Most of all, pag-ampo og maayo sa Ginuo aron ka hatagan og kaisog sa kaugalingon ug kahayag sa panghuna-huna.

Nahigmata siya sa kusog nga yugyog sa iyang abaga. Sa iyang pagtimbakuwas, misugat sa iyang mga mata ang kapay-kapay ug kagiki sa 12 anyos ug autistic nga si Myla.
“Ka-ka-on k-ko, Ma-ma.”
Nanginit ang iyang dalunggan nga morag gikawras sa kaawayng tigre. Namalikas siya. Ug nakatilawg laparo ang bata.
“Hrrrr,” nangurog si Myla nga mipaak-paak sa tuong kumagko niini.
“Ah, mosukol ka na ha!” Giudyes niya ang dalunggan niini nga igo lang mingiwi. Mihangad kini kaniya sa tinan-awan nga nagpakiluoy.
“Ka-ka-on k-ko, Ma-ma.”
“Hilom diha! Wa tay makaon! Wa tay kuwarta! Ikaw ang nagdalag demalas bataa ka!” Gibuhian niya kini ug mipadulong sa kosina. Sa iyang pagbalik, nagdala nag baseyong lata. Ang baseyong lata nga gihimo nilang taksanan sa bugas.
Gihawiran ni Lea ang tuong kamot sa anak ug gibukhad ang palad.
“O, panglimos hinuon didto sa simbahan sa Sto. Niño. Daghan ang nanimba rong buntaga.”
“Ma-ma-ma,” nahunong ang dugang pang isulti sa bata sa dihang gikumot ni Lea ang baba niini.
“Hilom na! Mabun-og ka karon. Lakaw na hinuon aron dako kag agi.”
Mitutok kaniya si Myla ug milingo-lingo.
“Di-di-li… di-di-li.”
“Unsay dili!” Gibira niya si Myla pagawas sa barungbarong ug gitulod aron makalakaw. Apan ang bata nag-ukon-ukon sa paglakaw.
“Unsa ba? Di ka moadto o bun-ogon tika?”
Miduko si Myla ug hinay-hinayng milakang subay sa tulayng kawayan nga nagpanglingi kaniya ug unya motan-aw naman sa lata nga iyang gihatag. Sa dihang nalayo na, mibalik siya sa barungbarong ug midagkot og Champion. Nakatulo na siya ka stick. Sa ikaupat niyang dagkot nakapanglingabngab siya unya taudtaod giganoy ngadto sa kamingawan.
   Giokupar nila George ang usa ka lamesa sa suok sa Kabayan Videoke House.
“Ga, wala na ra ba ko tunghai.”
“O, unsay naa niana, di ipatangtang!”
“Di ba, matod mo, imo kong pakaslan?
“Ha-ha-ha! Kasal? Nagdahom kang pakaslan ko ang sama nimo?”
Mitindog siya ug midagan. Midagan ug midagan. Nahasum-ok siya sa langob ni Tess nga mahinangpong miabiabi kaniya. Gipaambit siya sa bulawanong aso nga gipakamutya sa higala. Ang kaanindot sa iyang gibati miduyan kaniya sa kawalaan. Nakatulog siya.
Pagbuka niya sa iyang mga mata nagngisi ang pulahon, sungayan ug ikogan nga tawo sa iyang atubangan. Midagan na usab siya ug midagan. Apan gigukod siya sa tawo nga mokatawa unya motawag na man sa iyang ngalan.
Misangko siya sa dead-end nga eskina ug naabtan siya sa tawo. Gihawiran siya. Nakasiyagit siya sa kainit sa mga kamot niini. Mora siyag giganggang.
Nahigmata siya. Apan ang iyang damgo nahimong tinuod. Nagdilaab ang kalayo sa iyang palibot. Nasunog ang ilang barungbarong! Gisap-ongan niya ang ilong apan nakahanggap na siyag daghang aso. Inanay siyang natumba. Sa wala pa siya mawad-ig panimuot dihay misulod ug mibutad kaniya.
Diha na siya sa ospital mawaswasi sa panimuot. Hibatyagan niya ang pagpanakit sa iyang panit ilawom sa mga benda. Sa iyang tupad nga katre naghigda usab si Myla. Duna usay mga benda sa nawong og lawas. Gitug-anan siya sa doktor nga si Myla ang nagluwas kaniya.
“M-ma-ma, d-dag-h-han s-su l-lod l-la-t-ta. P-pa-pel p-pi-so,” bungat sa anak nga mitan-aw kaniya nga mikisdom dayon ang panagway. “A-apan s-su-nog.”
Milabhag ang pahiyom ni Lea ilawom sa mga benda sa nawong. Buot niyang gakson og hugot si Myla. Usa ka gakos sa inahan nga dugay nang naghikaw og pagmahal sa anak, apan dili niya mahimo. Morag gipanghiwa ang iyang mga panit sa dihang mihana siya sa pagbangon. Mitulo ang iyang mga luha.

SUPERBRANDS, a prestigious international branding and polling outfit, has named Representative Karlo B. Nograles (first district, Davao City) as one of the 20 Most Outstanding Congressmen in the 15th Congress.

He is one of the two elected congressmen from Mindanao who made it to the elite circle. The other lawmaker who made it to the list is Representative Rufus Rodriguez of Cagayan de Oro City. Nograles and Rodriguez are both lawyers.

Also in the list are House Deputy Speaker Lorenzo Tañada III, House Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales and party-list representative Arnel Ty.

Nograles and the other awardees will be formally honored in a luncheon on February 6 at the Mandarin Oriental Manila Hotel in Makati City.

Superbrands, founded by advertising executive Marcel Knobil in London in 1994, will publish a coffee table book that will feature Nograles and the other outstanding congressmen based on an independent polling made.

In each country that Superbrands operates in, it elects a Superbrands Council usually comprised of industry experts and practitioners that selects the top brands and personalities under various categories.

Only in his first term as congressman, Nograles was elected in the 15th Congress as House assistant majority leader. He is the son of former Speaker Prospero Nograles, the first and only Mindanao congressman who became House chief (2008-2010) and House majority leader (2004 to 2007).

In a tribute article, Superbrands has noted that the young Nograles authored several measures approved on Third Reading, such as House Bill (HB) 4512, creating 3 additional branches of the Regional Trial Court in Davao City; HB 5977, creating the Philippine Trade Representative Office; and HB 6052, strengthening the Juvenile Justice System in the Philippines. He is also one of the co-authors of Republic Act 10168 or the Terrorism Financing and Suppression Act of 2012 and HB 4575, encouraging corporate social responsibility.

Superbrands also said that "as a first term congressman, Karlo has focused on five priority areas of development namely Education, Health, Livelihood, Barangay Electrification and Infrastructure."

Superbrands also took note that foremost on this development agenda of Nograles is education.

"His program Oplan Kaalam currently supports full tuition and fees of 4,538 students enrolled at the state-owned University of Southeastern Philippines and 373 students of the University of the Philippines-Mindanao. It also provides tuition fee assistance to 2,200 students enrolled in various private colleges and universities of Davao City," the prestigious group wrote.

KON wala nipalag ang upat ka mga senador, gamay ra nato ang nahibawo nga gawas sa gipaburot nga pork barrel aduna pay laing dakong kapangwartahan ang atong mga Senador.

Kini mao ang gitawag ug Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) nga pundo sa Senado ug mahimong mapagawas ubos sa kabubut-on sa Senate President.

Mikisi-kisi ang magsuong senador nga sila si Alan Peter ug Pia Cayetano ug sila si Senador Miriam Santiago ug Antonio Trillanes IV kay lagi kuno nagpabaga sa iyang dagway si Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile nga nanghatag ug cash gifts sa mga Senador niadtong miaging pasko.

Misaka ang presyon sa dugo ni Santiago kay kuno giwaldas ni Enrile ang buhis sa katawhan pinaagi sa paghatag og tag P1.6 milyones sa matag usa ngadto sa 18 ka mga senador.

Nag-alindasay si Alan Peter ug nikuwestiyon nganong silang upat nakadawat lang og tag P250,000? Iyang gihulagway nga ang gihimo ni Enrile pag-usik sa buhis sa katawhan nga angayan untang gamiton aron sa pagpakaon sa mga gipangutom nga mga Pilipino.

Nisangpot sa personalay nga binirahay sa Senado ang lantugi nila ni Enrile. Imbes ihan-ay ni Enrile ang iyang argumento nganong legal ang paghatag ug cash gifts, iyang giwara-warahan si Cayetano sa dokumento nga sumala pa P37 milyones nga utang kaniya sa namatay nga Senador nga si Rene Cayetano.

Imbes tubagon ni Cayetano kon tinuod bang nakaotang ang iyang amahan kang Enrile, iyang gilapdosan ug istorya ang Chief of Staff nga si Atty. Gigi Reyes nga sumala pa daw mao nay nagkontrolar sa gimbuhaton ni Enrile sa Senado.

Maayong masusi tinuod ug tarong kon wala ba giwaldas lang sa mga Senador ang buhis sa katawhan ug ipasangil lang nga MOOE, PDAF, financial grants, incentives, honorarium, o ubang teknikal nga termino nga dili masabtan sa ordinaryong tawo aron sa paglipat sa mga magbubuhis.

Dalaygon ang gihimo sa upat ka mga senador nga midiskurso sa pagpanalipod sa buhis sa katawhan.

Apan medyo kahibulungan lang kay nganong karon man lang sila mireklamo sa naandan nang cash gifts nga ipanghatag matag Pasko matag tuig sa mga Senador?

Nganong wala man sila mipalag sa cash gifts sukadpa sa panahon ni Senador Manuel Villar isip Senate President kaniadto? Nganong wala man sila nireklamo sukad nga nakalingkod si Enrile sa pagka Presidente sa Senado niadtong tuig 2008? Wala may imik sa cash gifts si Pia nga napili sa pagka Senador sukad niadtong tuig 2004. Hilom pas piranha si Alan Peter sa cash gifts sukad nga siya nahimong Senador niadtong tuig 2007.

Nganong si Santiago nga senior citizen na sa Senado karon man lang nag bruhaha sa cash gifts? Limpyo ba si Trillanes nga wala man niya pangisugi ang cash gifts sa dihang milingkod siya sa pagka Senador niadtong tuig 2010?

Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago has suffered another hypertension attack after talking about Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile in a TV interview Wednesday.

Related story: After fund issue, Trillanes, Cayetano staff recalled
Quoting the senator’s ophthalmologist Dr. Rodolfo Chuanico, Santiago’s staff confirmed Santiago suffered hypertension, which led to blood clots around her pupil.
They claimed Santiago’s blood pressure shot up to 190/115 after discussing in a TV interview Enrile’s “unconstitutional and unethical” Christmas gifts, worth P2-million in public funds, to every senator.

“After the TV show, Santiago stayed for photos with the TV staff, her right eye noticeably red, and with red blood clots around the pupil,” the statement added.

“Apparently, Santiago developed hypertension… At this writing the nurse is contacting Dr. Esperanza Cabral, a cardiologist, who is Santiago’s personal physician,” it added.

During the interview, Santiago became agitated as she accused Enrile of personally attacking her about her frequent illness, which she said is “not allowed in decent society.”

During the impeachment trial last year, Santiago skipped several sessions due to hypothyroidism and hypertension.

She has been advised to rest her eye and continue with her hypertensive medication, the staff said.

Dear Heartline,

Good morning, tawaga lang ko sa pangalan na Gemini.

Please ayaw lang i-publish ang akong number. Naa koy uyab 4 years na me. Pero karon bulag na mi. Kay nasakpan nako siya nga naay laing uyab, sakpan pud nako nga nag-sex sila kaduha ka beses. Tapos karon gusto makigbalik ang akong ex kay fling-fling ra daw to iyang gibuhat. Unsa akong buhaton? Please tambagi ko.

Gemini

Hello dear,

I'm very sorry sa sakit nga kasinatian nimo sa imong hinigugma. Maka-ingon kitang life is unfair, but, actually it's not.

Sa kaso nimo with your ex, I know for sure old na siya to know unsay sayop sa dili, pero gibuhat gihapon niya ang dili maayo.

Bisan pa siguro og mosulti siyang fling lang ang iyang gihimo, but that fling thing caused so much pain sa imoha, not once but twice pa gyud. Dugang pa niini ang iyang pagbinuang ug pagguba sa inyong relasyon.

Actually, kung bored na gyud sa usa ka relasyon, pwede man siguro moingon nga enough, stop na, aron di na ma-prolong ang kasakit, di na sab makasakit.

I just don't get it why ana ilang drama.

Karon, human ka niya mapasakitan, makigbalik siya, na parang wala lang nangyari.

Ang pangutana, are you that willing to close your eyes, and dili na huna-hunaon tong nahitabo o ang imong nakita?

Lisud limbungan ang kaugalingon, and lisud sab nga mohatag og pagsalig sa tawong mihatag kanimo sa tumang kasakit, hilabi na gyud nga tumang paningkamot na nimong molambo ang inyong relasyon, unya mahug lang sa ingon niana.

Gemini, sa four years nga inyong panag-uban, you can say unsa ang imong nahatag, unsa ang imong pagkukulang. And with that, makasulti ka sa posibleng rason why nabuhat kana sa imong ex.

Apan, kung ikaw usa ka tawong naghatag og dakong bili sa imong karelasyon ug sa inyong relasyon, dili ka mobuhat og butang nga makapasakit kaniya.

Kung buot nimo siyang dawaton og usab, timbang-timbanga ang mga butang. Ayaw dayon og dasdas basin baya og masakitan na sab ka.

Of course, i-sure gyud nga kung makigbalik ka niya, maging honest na siya nimo, di na siya magkiniat, mopagamit sa uban.

Sa gibuhat pa lang niya, dako na kining insulto ug sagpa sa imong part, plus pa gyud nga nakasaksi ka sa ilang kawat-kawat nga kalipay.

Ayaw na pa-alas. This time, do and decide nga motabang sa imong kaugalingon.

Sobra kalami sa feeling ang ma-inlove, apan super pakyas sab kung didto nato nahatag ang atong atensiyon sa mga tawong will just leave us, hurt us.

Matag tawong miabot sa atong kinabuhi, mopabilin man sila o mobiya, mohatag kanato og learnings in life, reflections on our existence.

Basta ang ako lang gyung ikabilin alang nimo, DON'T FORGET TO LOVE YOURSELF.

watolala, walali andalobi o kamba.

ano na singbol ni hao?

maajong Pasko Gid sang inyo na lahat sang Tubag Bohol, sang aton mga sano kag sana sang maajong pagabi abi sang akon dinhi sang inyo nga logar abotanan sang mga bolanom.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Anti-discrimination ordinance approved


MULTI sectoral groups gathered inside the Davao City session hall Wednesday gave a thunderous applause when members of the City Council passed on third and final reading the anti-discrimination ordinance.

Davao City Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte presided the session for the approval of the ordinance, his brainchild.

Duterte had tasked City Councilor Melchor Quitain to craft the ordinance, which will give people of Davao City equal treatment regardless of sex/gender, identity, sexual orientation, race, color, descent, nationality or ethnic origin and religious affiliations of beliefs.

"To those of you who feel having been discriminated against, especially the members of the gay community and the lumads, let me say this: While the city will provide you with the legal tool in your struggle for equality and acceptance, it is you and you alone who can earn for yourselves the respect and the dignity that you fight for," Dutrete said in his speech before the ordinance got the nod of the SP members.

"If you want to be treated with dignity, then act dignified. If you abhor the abuses which you perceive are heaped upon you, then do not be abusive yourself. Respect and dignity cannot be legislated. They are earned," the vice mayor added.

Duterte also reminded the people of Davao City not to take the ordinance for granted.

"It's just a mere piece of paper but if you violate this law, you will suffer imprisonment," he said.

Under the ordinance, any person liable shall be punished by admonition and a fine of P1,000 for the first conviction. For a second conviction, there will be a penalty of P2,000 and 10 days imprisonment for the guilty party at the discretion of the court.

For the third conviction, or any conviction after two previous convictions the guilty party will be fined P5,000 and imprisonment of 15 days.

"Social integration, that is what this proposed anti-discrimination ordinance seeks and hopes to achieve," Duterte said before the measure was presented to the floor for third reading.

He ended his speech by saying, "I hate discrimination and I loathe bigotry."

In an interview, Datu Carlito A. Guinto Sr., Matigsalog tribal deputy mayor, said the ordinance will be very helpful especially to their tribe who has been discriminated.

He said many claimed they should not be included among the tribes recognized by the City Government since they are not natives of the city as their tribe came from Bukidnon and Talaingod, Davao del Norte.

"Usa na siya ka diskriminasyon sa amoa busa usa ko sa muduyog ani nga ordinansa (That's one form of discrimination for us that's why I'm one of those who support this ordinance)," Guinto said, adding that they feel so blessed and thankful for the passage of the ordinance.

The Muslim community also welcomed the approval of the policy.

Ismael Nakan, Al-haj, deputy mayor for Maguindanao tribe, said this will minimize the wrong connotation of stereotyping them as terrorists which has made the gap between the Christians and Muslims.

He said the ordinance will serve as a deterrent to some businessmen who reject their applications for properties and other matters.

"Dili tanan Muslim maot ug kinaiya (Not all Muslims are bad)," he said.

Along with the lumad and Muslim tribes, associations protecting the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders also applauded the ordinance.

Bamba Bacalla, president of Agdao District gay organization, said apart from having the law to protect them, they would also consider the challenge to act with dignity in order to gain respect from the people.

"Tama tong giingon ni vice mayor dapat gyud ang respeto mag gikan una sa among mga sarili (The vice mayor was right, respect must come first from ourselves)," Bacalla said.

Eddie M. Batoon, co-coordinator of Ladlad, said in as much as possible, they also want to correct the label made by the society that homosexuals are the source of HIV-AIDS.

"It is unfair on the part of the homosexuals kasi actually it's men having sex with men (MSMs) and not homosexuals alone," he said.

He said the approval of the ordinance is an early Christmas gift for them.

Marivic Desquitado, executive director of Link Davao Organization, said they have waited for a long time for the policy to be passed in the city.

Link Davao is an organization of urban poor lesbians in the city.

Desquitado said the ordinance prohibits not only the discrimination lesbians get from people but also the human rights violation they have long been suffering.

"Ang humiliation especially sa mga pobre na lesbians, grabe gyud labi na sa pag apply ug trabaho. The ordinance will change the lives of many lesbians. They will be confident to face people," she said.

Quitain earlier said the persons with disabilities (PWDs) and senior citizens (SC) are not covered with the ordinance since there are already national laws protecting them and their rights.

SARANGANI -- Gisugyot karon nga ipahiling sa doktor ang lalaki nga naglugos og mga hayop sa pagtuo nga makabaton siya ug dagha’ng mga sakit.

Sumala ni Dr. Melly Lastimoso, pangulo sa Epidemiology and Surveillance Office sa City Integrated Health Services sa General Santos City, nga posibleng maka-angkon ug nagkadaiyang sakit si Diano (tinuod nga ngalan) human siya nakighilawas sa gansa, iro, ug anay nga baboy.

Gikanayon ni Lastimoso nga monituron si Diano sulod sa 24 oras aron mahibal-an kon duna ba siyay flu, ubo, pagpanugnaw, ug pagpanakit sa lawas.

Kahinumdoman nga si Diano mismo ang nagsulti nga iyang gipanamas-tamasan ang gansa nga gipanag-iyahan sa iyang amo nga usa ka pulis.

Gireklamo sab si Diano nga nakighilawas sa iro ug anay nga baboy nga maoy hinungdan sa kamatayon sa mga baktin niini.

Gibantayan pag-ayo karon si Diano sa iyang mga silingan kay basin gawas sa mga hayop, tawo na sab ang iyang luguson. (Sun.Star SuperBalita Davao/Sunnex)

SULTAN KUDARAT, Philippines (Reuters) - At a nondescript two-storey building in the town of Sultan Kudarat, the future of the Philippines' strife-torn southern region of Mindanao is taking shape, one accountancy class at a time.
Dozens of former fighters in Mindanao's decades-old Islamic insurgency are learning new skills - from book-keeping, to computer literacy and law - that are crucial to the long-term success of a landmark peace deal signed in Manila on Monday.
"Every student comes out of this institute as a new person," said Zamin Unti, a 55-year-old former Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebel who teaches three-day crash courses at the Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute.
Turning fighters into laptop-wielding administrators of the new autonomous Bangsamoro region is one of the challenges facing Mindanao as it moves beyond euphoria over the deal, which ends a four-decade Muslim insurgency that killed 120,000 people in Asia's biggest Catholic nation.
Investors will also need to be convinced that governance will improve in an area scarred by corruption and poverty.
Ravaged by conflict, the southernmost of the main Philippine islands has never been able to capitalise on an estimated $312 billion in mineral wealth or develop abundant agricultural land that already supplies two-fifths of the country's food. It lies near Malaysia and Indonesia and is flanked by the rich fishing grounds of the Sulu Sea and the Celebes Sea, with the Pacific Ocean to its east.
Businesses are eager to enter Mindanao as the Philippines savours its biggest investment boom since the 1997 Asian financial crisis with President Benigno Aquino riding a strong economy and lofty popularity ratings. But many are holding back until prospects for a sustainable peace become clearer.
What also makes investors cautious is a series of past agreements between the government in Manila and rebels from the Moro tribes that rapidly fell apart, including a 2008 deal struck down by the Supreme Court and which led to a surge in violence. A peace deal in 1996 looked good on paper but failed due to weak implementation.
"I don't think they are going to rush in," said Gregory Edwards, managing director of Australia's RED 5 Limited , which operates the Siana gold mine in Mindanao's Surigao del Norte province.
"The security angle alone is not going to do it, there's going to be other elements, but it certainly helps," he said, adding investors would look at issues such as regulation and corruption before committing to projects in Mindanao.
LESSONS FROM NORTHERN IRELAND
Aside from a lack of competent administrators, the transition to a new autonomous government is likely to be threatened by "spoilers" ranging from reluctant politicians in Manila to breakaway groups of radical Islamic fighters.
Both sides must also overcome decades of mistrust that have built up in the region between Muslims and minority Christians and the likely unwillingness of rebels to give up their weapons while peace remains fragile.
"Until all interested parties have time to digest the Mindanao settlement issue, it is hard to assess its long term consequences," said Scott Harrison, managing director of Pacific Strategies and Assessments.
Government negotiators say the peace process in Northern Ireland was a model for ending the Mindanao conflict. If so, they will know that persuading the Irish Republican Army to lay down its guns was one of the thorniest barriers to peace.
It could be an even harder proposition in Mindanao, which is saturated with guns held by breakaway Islamic factions, feuding clans and Communist rebels waging their own insurgency.
"We are not ready yet to surrender our guns because there are too many weapons out there in the hands of even ordinary farmers," Commander Abdul, a 50-year-old guerrilla, told Reuters while manning a checkpoint leading to a rebel base.
While a "transition commission" has until 2015 to present a final law to Congress, the two sides only have until December to iron out details such as the new administration's fiscal and legal powers, and the decommissioning of the MILF's weapons.
Much rests on Aquino's ability to control Congress, where his allies now dominate both houses, but mid-term elections next May could upset the favourable political balance.
ETHNIC TENSIONS
Posters and placards supporting the peace deal have sprouted all over Cotabato City, the region's economic hub where nearly half of the residents are non-Muslims, including ethnic Chinese Filipinos. Even sceptics here say they want to give the MILF a chance, but some are nervous.
"Maybe in the beginning we will not have any trouble with them, but some could become unreasonable later," a canteen operator who only gave his name as Ernesto said, saying he had heard rumours of Muslims trying to take back farmland they claim belonged to their ancestors.
"Some of my ethnic Chinese-Filipino friends have actually left town," he added.
The current Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) - with a population of about 4 million -- is a glaring example of how the region's hopes for peace have been dashed in the past.
Put in place in 1989, the autonomous government never lived up to its promise. Graft flourished, development stagnated and its leaders complained of a lack of resources and political backing from Manila as the MILF kept up its separatist fight.
Around two-fifths of Mindanao's population lives on about a dollar a day and the ARMM is home to several of the country's poorest provinces.
"We have learned enough lessons from the old ARMM government," said Ghadzali Jaafar, MILF vice chairman for political affairs.
"We are determined to change that by putting in leaders who are dedicated to serve the people and accountable to Allah."
A potential security risk comes from a 500-strong rogue MILF faction that opposed the deal and vowed to continue fighting for a separate Islamic state. Its guerrillas attacked army positions in August, taking over a key highway to Cotabato City.
Jaafar said the MILF is not worried about the group, the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement, and may persuade them to join the peace process once the agreement is implemented.
Some leaders of the divided Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), which signed the 1996 peace pact with the government, have rejected the new deal.
The MNLF never gave up its weapons and could lure disaffected fighters from the MILF and return to war.
The MILF is "signing its death sentence," MNLF founder Nur Misuari told radio this week.
TENTATIVE INVESTOR INTEREST
Mindanao has no lack of economic potential. Besides farmland, its mineral reserves account for about two-fifths of total reserves in the Philippines, and includes gold, copper, nickel, iron, chromite and manganese.
Companies with operations there such as miners and food processor Del Monte Pacific Limited say they are considering expanding after the peace deal.
Del Monte's 700,000-tonne, 85-year-old pineapple processing facility in Bukidnon province supplies about a fifth of the world's processed pineapple. The company also owns a port and a nearby 23,000-hectare (56,800 acres) plantation.
Global miner Xstrata Plc plans to develop Southeast Asia's largest gold and copper prospect at the $5.9 billion Tampakan project in South Cotabato. But its investment plans are held up by a local government ban on open-pit mining.
Perth-based RED 5 wants to more than double its $120 million investment in the Siana gold mine, which started commercial operations in April after about a decade of exploration and development work, said Edwards.
At an auction earlier this year for state contracts to explore oil and gas in the south, only a handful of investors submitted bids for the Sulu Sea and Cotabato Basin service area, both within the conflict zone. Officials said the poor response was mainly due to security concerns.
The two areas have combined reserves of 411 million barrels of crude oil, equivalent to more than three times the country's annual consumption, and 2.3 billion cubic feet of gas.
France's Total is exploring for oil and gas in the Sulu Sea off Mindanao and has entered into a 75:25 venture with Malaysia's Mitra Energy Ltd in the offshore block covering around 4,300 sq km (1,660 sq miles).
The world's largest crude palm oil producer, Malaysia's Felda Global Ventures , has said it is interested in investing in at least 10,000 hectares for palm oil, just a speck of the 1 million hectares of grasslands on Mindanao.
Mujiv Hataman, acting governor of the existing autonomous region, said Malaysian conglomerate Berjaya Corp also wants to invest in palm oil and develop 10,000 hectares within the ARMM. Berjaya did not respond to requests for comment.
Trade Secretary Gregory Domingo has identified several industries for Mindanao -- from information-technology to outsourcing, utilities, mining and agriculture. He declined to name possible companies or whether deals were in the works.
The Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute, set up in 2006, provides a reason for hope, teaching rebels the skills to become civil servants or run small busineses.
But it also shows the scale of the task ahead. Until March, it was housed in a rented building in Cotabato City before Japanese aid money financed its new center in Sultan Kudarat, not far from the MILF's main base. The new building boasts broadband Internet, computers and projectors, but only has a single training room and remains reliant on foreign aid money.
"We're here not only to teach but brainwash them to change their old mind-set," said Unti, the rebel-turned-lecturer.

“A Mindanao Story â€" Troubled Decades in the Eye of the Storm”
by: MGEN DELFIN CASTRO (Ret), former Commander of SOUTHCOM AFP from 1980 to 1986.
Chapter 4: The Reward of Persuasion: Bloodbath in Pata
Even as the NPA was being checked along the Davao-Agusan boundary incident was shaping up in Sulu, one of that had echoes of the Patikul massacre of 10 October 1977 and that would characterize the duplicity and ferocity of the conflict in the southern islands in those years. In time, it came to be known as the Pata Massacre. The 3rd Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division had launched an operation in Pata Island on February 9, 1981 in the wake of reported landings of an undetermined number of MNLF forces somewhere at Barangay Pata Likud. The 31st Infantry Battalion was at the forefront while two other battalions were screening on the mainland side. The Brigade set up its Advance Command Post in Patian Island, the next island away from Pata. As a result, Mayor Burahan of Pata called a meeting of island leaders in Barangay Saimbangon on February 10 to assess the situation. Among those who attended were Vice-Mayor Ombra Tagid-gid, Omar Ali, Faisal, Issa, Kadaffy, Salahuddin, Moharam and CHDF Commander Unad Masillam of Pata Likud. Barangay leaders denied presence of MNLF elements in the in their barangays. Assured that no MNLF forces had landed, the 31st IB began to pull out on February 12, leaving only the Headquarters Service Company of the battalion Commander Lt. Col. Jacinto Sardual still planned to call on Commander Unad Masillam before leaving. Earlier that morning, Unad had a meeting in his residence with Omar Ali, Faisal, Issa, Kadaffy, Salahuddin, Moharam and his son Dindiong Masillam on rumored information that their fire-arms would be confiscated by the 31st IB before it left the island. This however, looked like a calculated provocateur’s move by Unad as most of the troops had already left the island. The meeting was going on when Sardual arrived to call on Unad before leaving with the rest of his battalion. He was accompanied by just a few men. Unad and his group accompanied Lt. Col. Sardual back to where the Headquarters Service Company was encamped. Unad then told Sardual to have the company formed and their arms stacked so they could shake hands and bid each other farewell. Why Sardual, going against all norms and tenets of combat common sense, gave the orders for such and why the company officers in turn passed the order to the men can hardly be imagined. But the order went out and the men complied, except for a few who did not join the formation. While the company stood in formation, their arms neatly stacked, over 400 armed men of Unad and his allies quietly ringed them and then let loose searing volleys of automatic fire. With comrades shredded and falling like bowling pins around them, soldiers attempted to get to their stacked firearms, to no avail. Only the few that did not join the formation were able to return effective fire. But they were badly outnumbered and the outcome was inevitable. When the smoked cleared and the guns fell silent, 119 officers and men lay lifeless; Sardual’s body sprawled among those of his men. The headquarters service company of 31st IB had ceased to exist in a matter of minutes. Some bodies were mutilated and burned. They had been looted of uniforms, shoes, wallets, watches and other valuables. Over 120 firearms and over a million rounds of assorted ammunition fell into Unad’s hands. The Pata massacre was classic execution of one of Misuaris’s stratagems - for certain MNLF elements to join the government and at a given opportunity, to sabotage the returnee program of the government from within. Later, Commander Unad and his son Dindiong slipped away from the island- and their reward for what they had done: important positions in the military hierarchy of the Misuari faction. A damning silence That fateful morning, I arrived in Jolo to check on the 1st Division accompanied by Lanao Sur Governor Ali Dimaporo who was scheduled to visit Sulu Governor Mus Izquierdo. After the amenities, Division Commander Brig. Gen. Emilio Luga proposed that we visit the Advance Command post of Col. Rodolfo Canieso at Patian Island. Canieso reported an ongoing operation in Pata Island, but nothing of the tragedy that had befallen the ill-fated 31st commander and his HQ Company. I wanted to go to Pata to look things over but he dissuaded us from proceeding, saying it might interfere with operations. Instead, he proposed that we accompany him to Juambal Island, some three islands away to the west, where he was supposed to accept the surrender of a rebel group. We went, using three UH1H Huey helicopters. I asked where the rebels were and what security arrangements had been prepared for their coming out. It turned out there were none! Only a handful of Special Forces personnel had arranged the surrender and it was to be in a swamp clearing about 100 meters from where we landed. We were supposed to enter this swamp area to accept the surrender. I took Brig. Gen. Luga aside, whispering that we were not to enter the swamp and to prepare to leave the area as quickly and as quietly as possible. I then spoke to the lead helicopter pilot, telling him that I would cross a small water channel and once I started crossing back, to get the huey’s blades whirling and ready for immediate take-off. We did just that. I told Col. Canieso and the surrender coordinator we would come back later as the ceremonies might take some time and that Governors Izquierdo and Dimaporo were expecting us at a coordination meeting. We left Jumabal Island quickly behind and returned to Patian Island to drop off Col. Canieso who insisted on our having lunch there. Up to this time, Canieso kept a tight lip on events at Pata. I even accepted the surrender of some 60 rebels with Sulu Gov. Izquierdo, Lanao Sur Gov. Dimaporo, Sulu Vice-Governor Tupay Loong 1st Division Commander Brig. Gen. Emilio Luga, Jr. witnessing the ceremony. Later, Brig. Gen Luga brought me to Taglibi to see the progress of the BLISS housing project of the Ministry of Human Settlements. From Jolo, we proceeded to Manila where that evening, while attending an Airforce function, an urgent call from President Marcos about the incident in Pata took all the luster of my evening away. I had to tell the President I was near Pata that morning but had been kept in the dark about the gravity of the situation. The President informed me he had directed the Flag Officer in Command of the Philippine Navy to send available ships to cruise the waters around Pata and neighboring islands and to support the landing of additional troops.

DAVAO City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said on Thursday that Dabawenyos will finally know about her plans in the 2013 elections as the filing of certificate of candidacy (COC) for the 2013 mid-term elections ends at 5 p.m. Friday.

As of 3 p.m. Thursday, Duterte-Carpio said she has yet to finalize her decision.


"Everything is still up in the air. We will see tomorrow (October 5)," she told Sun.Star Davao in a text message.

Being the highest elected official in Davao City, Duterte-Carpio is the leader of Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod, the newly accredited local political party, along with her father.

The mayor's father, Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and her older brother Association of Barangay Captain (ABC) president Paolo Duterte have remained indecisive on what position they will be seeking.

But during Hugpong's general assembly on September 28 at SMX Convention Center at SM Lanang Prenier, the party endorsed Paolo as its bet for the vice mayoralty race, but left the mayoralty post and first district congress seat open as it is still waiting for the decision of Mayor Sara and Vice Mayor Rodrigo.

Duterte-Carpio said she hasn't talked to her party mates regarding their plans.

"Wala ko kahibalo sa ilahang sked, ako, wala ko sked (I do not know about their schedule. I do not have my own schedule)," Duterte-Carpio said when asked if she will file her COC along with her party mates.

During the Hugpong convention, the vice mayor said they will announce their official and final line up on the last day of the submission of COC.

The elder Duterte said he really has no idea about his daughter's plans. The mayor was in bed rest during the party's convention due to her delicate pregnancy.

"She has the choice, naa gyud, klarohon lang sa gyud ni namo sa among mga sarili (She really has, we will just make this decision clear among ourselves)," the vice mayor earlier said.

A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake shook Japan on Friday, unleashing a powerful tsunami that sent ships crashing into the shore and carried cars through the streets of coastal towns.

Multiple injuries, but no immediate deaths, were reported from the Pacific coastal area of Miyagi on the main Honshu island, police said according to media, and TV footage showed widespread flooding in the area.

The quake hit in the early afternoon, also strongly shaking buildings in greater Tokyo, the world's largest urban area with 30 million people.

At least six fires were reported in Tokyo, where the subway system stopped, sirens wailed and people streamed out of buildings.

The first quake struck about 382 kilometres (237 miles) northeast of Tokyo, the US Geological Survey said, revising the magnitude from an earlier 7.9.

Japan, is located on the "Pacific Ring of Fire" and dotted with volcanoes, and Tokyo is situated in one of its most dangerous areas.

A tsunami warning was issued for Japan, Taiwan, Russia and the Mariana Islands, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

"An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicentre within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours," the centre said in a statement.

It also put the territories of Guam, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Micronesia and Hawaii under a lower tsunami watch.

The yen fell to 83.30 against the dollar from 82.81 before the quake struck.

The mega-city of Tokyo sits on the intersection of three continental plates -- the Eurasian, Pacific and Philippine Sea plates -- which are slowly grinding against each other, building up enormous seismic pressure.

The government's Earthquake Research Committee warns of a 70 percent chance that a great, magnitude-eight quake will strike within the next 30 years in the Kanto plains, home to Tokyo's vast urban sprawl.

The last time a "Big One" hit Tokyo was in 1923, when the Great Kanto Earthquake claimed more than 140,000 lives, many of them in fires. In 1855, the Ansei Edo quake also devastated the city.

More recently, the 1995 Kobe earthquake killed more then 6,400 people.

More than 220,000 people were killed when a 9.1-magnitude quake hit off Indonesia in 2004, unleashing a massive tsunami that devastated coastlines in countries around the Indian Ocean as far away as Africa.

Small quakes are felt every day somewhere in Japan and people take part in regular drills at schools and workplaces to prepare for a calamity.

Nuclear power plants and bullet trains are designed to automatically shut down when the earth rumbles and many buildings have been quake-proofed with steel and ferro-concrete at great cost in recent decades.

AFP got P179-B surplus for salaries from 2002-2010

MANILA, Philippines - Bayan Muna party-list Representative Atty. Neri Colmenares claims that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) received at least 100% budget surplus for soldiers' salaries from 2002-2010.

He gave the year 2010 as an example when the AFP received a total of P41 billion for the salaries of more than 134,000 soldiers of the Armed Forces. But the actual budget for salaries, based on the books of the AFP, Colmenares said, was just more or less P19 billion, a difference of 112% between the actual fund needed and the agency's request.

This has always been the case starting from 2002 to 2010, based on the computations made by Colmenares.

Another questionable data for Colmenares are the records of the years 2002 and 2003.

In 2002, Colmenares said, the AFP received P50 billion for salaries of soldiers, but the actual amount needed was just P26 billion based on the books of AFP. But if one compares 2002 with the following year, 2003, the AFP had the same number of soldiers at 134,000, but the budget they received from the General Appropriations Act (GAA) was pegged at P32 billion, and the actual amount need was just P12 billion.

Surplus funds: P179 billion

All in all, based on Colmenares' computation, the AFP received P179 billion in surplus funds. "Unless they can explain the discrepancy between the budget and actual staffing, pwedeng maghinala na ito ay ang source ng pabaon at pasalubong," he said.

Colmenares added that the discrepancies probably went unnoticed in the eyes of the senators and congressmen who deliberate on the AFP budget annually because the voluminous financial books do not actually contain the actual total amount needed for salary. The total amount can only be seen in the summary, which could be mistaken as the total amount needed.

Colmenares admitted that congressmen and senators do not manually calculate the record books, and this is where the government agencies take advantage of the situation.

These surpluses are what is now known as the funds used for conversion, where the money intended for salary is used for other purposes.

Ghost deliveries

But what's worse, according to Senate Finance Committee Chair Sen. Franklin Drilon, apart from the conversion of surplus funds for purposes not indicated in the budget, there were actually no deliveries made on the supplies.

However, the documents show otherwise since the money was used for untraceable goods such as bullets, food and gasoline.

"Sa dokumento may dineliver na bala, na-ideliver sa field, pero hindi dumating duon, kunwari pinaputok na," Drilon said.

Colmenares is calling on President Aquino to create a special team of auditors to audit intelligence funds, which, according to him, reached P2.3 billion during the Arroyo administration. These funds were not included in the list to be audited by the resident auditor.

"Ang Pangulo Aquino, dapat bumuo siya ng special team, pwedeng led by Heidi Mendoza, na i-audit ang intelligence funds from 2002 to 2010," Colmenares said. Stricter punishment needed

According to public finance expert Prof. Leonor Briones of UP National College of Public Administration and Governance, the solution lies on how President Aquino will respond to all these controversial allegations.

"Lahat ng conversion of funds is happening in his territory…ang anti-corruption strategy na umuubra starts with the leader, sya lang ang may kayang magsabi na tigil na yan," Briones said.

Briones added that a stricter and heavier punishment must be created for corruption cases from the lower ranks up to the highest official. This, she said, might deter corruption in ways that authorities and public finance mangers will think twice about the penalty to be incurred when caught stealing from public coffers.

But according to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, it's impossible the fund for personnel services would be doubled since this is strictly monitored by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).

"That's not true. That is being monitored by DBM. Palagay ko naman tinitingan ng DBM yan. Examine the data first before making any allegations," said AFP spokesman Gen. Jose Mabanta.

Wala namang sipon ang mga senador o kaya ay may putok, este putok ng ubo, subalit nangongongo silang lahat kapag pumalya ang audio ng monitor ng Senado.

Itong isang matandang senador, nagiging bata ang boses, palibhasa’y mahilig sa mga batang babae, kapag nagsasalita na sa isang public hearing ng Senado.

Natawa nga itong si Mang Teban nang marinig ang kanyang boses sa monitor na buyoy, este parang bulol ang boses, aba’y walang pinagkaiba kay Bitoy kapag gumaganap itong batang bulol.

Sa aktuwal na pananalita, malinis naman ang pagkakabigkas ng senador na ito subalit pagdating sa monitor ng Senado, aba’y naging Batibot na ang boses nito dahil sa depekto ng audio, sayang naman ang naglalakihang suweldo ng mga taong nakatoka para sa trabahong ito.

Dear Wewe:


Maraming salamat sa sulat mo na inumpisahan nating sagutin noong nakaraang Biyernes, Oktubre 29.

Sa huling kolum natin noong nakaraang Lunes, Nobyembre 8, sinabi ko na, sa aking karanasan bilang sex therapist, ang pinakamahalagang hinahanap ng babae ay hindi technique o kagalingan sa kama pero ang sapat na pagmamahal kaya handang matuto at mag praktis ang lalaki para sa kasiyahan naman rin ng babae sa kama.


Pero isa pa ring kailangan mong maintindihan sana, Wewe, ay ang iyong kahirapang pagtanggap ng dating paggamit ng asawa mo sa mga sex toy.


Ayon sa kaniya ay hindi na siya gumagamit. Palagay ko yan ay dahil mahal ka niya at nahalata niyang naguguluhan at nasasaktan ka dahil ginagamit niya ito. Ang kaniyang pagtigil ay malaking bagay.

Palagay ko rin na hindi siya titigil kung hindi ka niya mahal na mahal.


Dearest Wewe, hindi mo nalang ba kayang mag-concentrate sa kanyang pagmamahal sa iyo, kaysa sa paggamit niya ng sex toy dati?
