Typhoon ‘Urduja’ leaves PH
By Frances Mangosing
INQUIRER.net

MANILA, Philippines â€" Typhoon “Urduja”  (international name Francisco) made its exit from the Philippine area of responsibility early Thursday.

However, sea travel remained risky over the seaboards of Northern Luzon and the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.

Heavy to intense rains were still seen within its 700 kilometer-diameter.

“Urduja” was last observed 855 kilometers northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of 130 kilometers per hour near the center and gusts of up to 160 kph.

It was forecast to move north at 9kph.

Philippine Daily Inquirer

The Office of the Ombudsman has filed criminal charges against two state auditors who allegedly conspired with officials of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and Janet Lim-Napoles through her dubious nongovernment organizations (NGOs) in connection with the misuse of P200 million supposedly for agrarian reform communities in 2007 and 2008.

The complaint identified the respondents as Noel A. Jacob, and Melba F. Fajardo.

“It is clear that respondents Jacob and Fajardo conspired with DAR and NGO officials, accountants and notaries public in facilitating the liquidation of the [multi]million-peso DAR project in various municipalities nationwide,” the complaint said.

The complaint was signed by Ryan Medrano, Graft Investigation and Prosecution Officer I, and was approved on Sept. 11 by Maria Olivia Elena A. Roxas, director of the General Investigation Bureau.
Based on the complaint sheet, Jacob and Fajardo were charged with violating the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, and with estafa through the falsification of public documents.
Roxas also recommended preventive suspension for the pair.

“Considering the propensity of the respondents to violate existing laws and rules regulations, and in order to prevent their possible interference or exercise of influence as regards the evidence or witnesses against them, it is recommended that the respondents be preventively suspended pending the investigation of this complaint,” he said.

Jacob is a State Auditor V, now assigned as supervising auditor (SA) of the Commission on Audit (COA) to the general headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Fajardo is State Auditor IV assigned to the nongovernment sector on agriculture and environment.
The field investigation office of the Ombudsman said Jacob was the SA of the COA-DAR and Fajardo was the audit team leader when the P200 million, covered by a special allotment release order (Saro), dated Dec. 4, 2007, was released to the DAR as implementing agency under then Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman.

No thorough audit

The Ombudsman said the DAR transaction involving a huge amount of public funds would not have passed the COA-DAR had Jacob and Fajardo conducted a thorough audit, and used audit techniques and procedures.

“Had they verified the authenticity of the liquidation documents and conferred with the intended beneficiaries, the anomalous project would have been discovered and disallowed during their post audit,” the antigraft agency said.

Apart from the statements of mayors who were supposed to receive the fund, two other SAs said in sworn statements that the entire P200 million was released by the DAR and was liquidated, and that “no adverse findings by the COA-DAR were noted.”

Forged signatures

However, Ombudsman investigators said the signatures of the mayors were forged to make it appear that they had requested financial assistance from the DAR and that the projects were implemented in support of agribusiness development in cooperation with seven NGOs.

The NGOs implicated in the scam were Philippine Agri and Social Economic Development Foundation, Agri and Economic Program for Farmers Foundation, Agrikultura para sa Magbubukid Foundation, Social Development Program for Farmers Foundation, People’s Organization for Progress and Development Foundation, Masaganang Ani para sa Magsasaka Foundation, and Countrywide Agri and Rural Economic Development Foundation.

Principal whistle-blower Benhur Luy, a former personal assistant of Napoles, has claimed that these NGOs were controlled by Napoles and that the deliveries “were mostly ghost deliveries or grossly overpriced.”

The P200 million was classified as an additional program fund to be generated by overall savings from the 2007 budget.

The money was to cover fund support for agribusiness development under CARP (Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program) in various municipalities nationwide “beginning with Alegria, Surigao del Norte province, and ending with Claver, Surigao del Norte.”

40 towns

The 40 town beneficiaries that were given allocations of P5 million each were Talacogon, Jbonga,
Tubay in Agusan del Norte province; Sta. Josefa, San Agustin, Esperanza, San Luis, Bunawan and Veruela in Agusan del Sur province; Bacuag, Gigaquit, San Benito, Burgos, San Francisco, Tubajon, Claver, Alegria and Socorro in Surigao del Norte;

Bayabas, Lianga, San Miguel, Marihatag, Madrid and Cagwait in Surigao del Sur province; Divilacan and Tumauini in Isabela; Doña Remedios Trinidad and Marilao in Bulacan province; Esperanza in Masbate province; Rosales and Mapandan in Pangasinan province; Amadeo in Cavite province; Barauen in Leyte province; Pitogo in Zamboanga del Sur province; Talusan in Zamboanga Sibugay province; San Jose in Batangas province; and, Sanchez Mira and Piat in Cagayan province.

Each town was supposed to be given 130 agricultural supply packages (seeds, farming tools, and ergonomic knapsack sprayer) valued by the NGOs at P36,558 each.

The DAR central office was named the implementing agency through a four-page document dated Dec. 4, 2007, from then Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya. The letter was addressed to Pangandaman.
It was also through the DAR and Pangandaman that P900 million from the Malampaya Fund was coursed  in 2009. The fund, which was supposed to help storm victims, was also funneled to Napoles’ NGOs.
Pangandaman, Andaya, then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, former Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, Napoles and several others have been charged with plunder in the Office of the Ombudsman in connection with the misuse of the P900 million from the Malampaya Fund.

Strongest aftershock yet jolts Bohol

ABS-CBNnews.com
Posted at 10/17/2013 8:37 AM | Updated as of 10/17/2013 8:57 AM
MANILA â€" A 5.5-magnitude aftershock from Tuesday's massive quake in Central Visayas hit Bohol on Thursday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.

Phivolcs said the epicenter of the 5.5-magnitude quake, the strongest yet to hit Bohol, was recorded 18 kilometers northwest of Tagbilaran City at 7:37 a.m.

The following intensities were felt:

Intensity VI (very strong) - Tagbilaran City
Intensity IV (moderately strong) - Dumaguete City; Lapu Lapu City; Sibulan, Negros Oriental
Intensity II (slightly felt) - Maasin, Southern Leyte; Mambajao, Camiguin
Phivolcs said the quake struck at a depth of 1 km and was tectonic in origin.

The agency said as of 5 a.m. today, a total of 1,213 aftershocks have been recorded.

The United States Geological Survey said magnitude "measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake, and is determined from measurements on seismographs."

Intensity, on the other hand, "measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. It is determined from effects on people, human structures, and the natural environment."

ABS-CBN News

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Wednesday that a newly discovered fault may have been the source of the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that rocked Central Visayas Tuesday.

Phivolcs Seismic division officer in charge Ishmael Narag said in a report aired on "24 Oras" that upon closer examination of their data, they learned that quake's real epicenter is located  between the municipality of Catigbian and Sagbayan in Bohol and not in the town of Carmen as the agency earlier said.

The second epicenter is located near several towns in Bohol that have been the most severely affected by the earthquake.

"[Our data suggests that] the source of the earthquake was probably a different fault system that transects Bohol island. Medyo off siya (new fault line) sa trace ng East Bohol fault," he said.

The death toll from the powerful quake that hit Central Visayas had risen to 144 as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said.

State seismologists said the earthquake's force Tuesday morning was the equivalent of 32 Hiroshima atom bombs.

Narag said Phivolcs did not see the new fault line in Bohol earlier despite the occurrence of an earthquake near the new fault line in 1996 because the province's limestone structure made identifying active faults difficult.

"Medyo mahirap makita yung features ng active faults sa Bohol kasi yung province ay predominantly [composed of] limestone. Ang limestone kasi, madaling ma-weather. So nawawala agad yung anumang superficial features that could have suggested the placement of a new fault," he said.

Narag also said state seismologists already raised the possibility that a strong earthquake might occur in the province when they made the Philippines' comprehensive geohazard maps in 2007.

"The hazard maps [present] worst-case scenarios [such as earthquakes] happening there and if you tried to compare that with what happened now, accurate naman yung nakikita doon sa hazard maps," he said.  â€" XA/ELR/TJD, GMA News

The epicenter of this aftershock is 18 km north of Tagbilaran City.

No damage is expected.

So far this is the biggest aftershock to have occured after the major 7.2 magnitude earthquake last October 15, 2013.

Just this morning, a magnitude 5.5 aftershock was felt in Bohol.

Work from home.

CEBU, Philippines  â€" The death toll from a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck Bohol, Cebu and other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao reached 110 Wednesday with only three people pulled alive from rubble.

The three were rescued in nearby Cebu province hours after Tuesday’s quake shattered office buildings and homes and caused many centuries-old churches to crumble.

In Bohol, the quake’s epicenter, rescuers counted 100 dead, said regional military commander Lt. Gen. Roy Deveraturda. Cebu reported nine fatalities, and one died on another island.

There seems little hope of finding any large number of survivors from beneath the rubble of leveled buildings, homes and churches.

The small coastal town of Loon reported 20 fatalities, the highest in Bohol, including those buried in a hospital and a church.

Many roads and bridges were damaged, making rescue operations difficult. But historic churches dating from the Spanish colonial period suffered the most. The country’s oldest, the 16th-century Basilica of the Holy Child in Cebu, lost its bell tower.

Nearly half of a 17th-century limestone church in Loboc town, southwest of Carmen, was reduced to rubble, as was the largest church on the island in Loon town, where three worshippers were buried alive.

The entire province was without electricity after the quake cut power supplies.
Authorities set up tents for those displaced by the quake, while others who lost their homes moved in with their relatives, Bohol Gov. Edgardo Chatto said.

Extensive damage also hit densely populated Cebu city, across a narrow strait from Bohol, causing deaths when a building in the port and the roof of a market area collapsed.

The quake set off two stampedes in nearby cities. When it struck, people gathered in a gym in Cebu rushed outside in a panic, crushing five people to death and injuring eight others, said Neil Sanchez, provincial disaster management officer.

“We ran out of the building, and outside, we hugged trees because the tremors were so strong,” said Vilma Yorong, a provincial government employee in Bohol.

“When the shaking stopped, I ran to the street and there I saw several injured people. Some were saying their church has collapsed,” she told The Associated Press by phone.

Offices and schools were closed for a national holiday â€" the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha â€" which may have saved lives.

Aledel Cuizon said the quake that caught her in her bedroom sounded like “a huge truck that was approaching and the rumbling sound grew louder as it got closer.”

She and her neighbors ran outside, where she saw concrete electric poles “swaying like coconut trees.” It lasted 15-20 seconds, she said.

Cebu province, about 570 kilometers (350 miles) south of Manila, has a population of more than 2.6 million people. Cebu is the second largest city after Manila. Nearby Bohol has 1.2 million people and is popular among foreigners because of its beach and island resorts and famed Chocolate Hills.
The Philippine archipelago is located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” where earthquakes and volcanic activity are common. A magnitude-7.7 quake killed nearly 2,000 people on the northern island of Luzon in 1990.

Dili gyud ma imagine ang kakusog sa linog ganiha. Naa ko sa Tagbilaran karon. Dili inanay nga linog bulhot jud iyang kakusog. Naa ko sa second floor sa among balay kay nag get ready ko maligo gikan nag exercise unya kalit lang ing brown out. Mag ukab pa diay unta ko adto sa akong computer ug sa kalit lang ing uyog ug kusog ang balay abi nako ug naunsa. Then I realize naglinog na diay. I scream sa akong mga bata nga Run.. run downstair ang get out here. Dagan mi kutob sa among ginhawa. Akong tulo ka anak tua tanan sa second floor pasalamat gyud ko nga nakagawas mi. So far walay damage among balay sa tagbilaran pero daghan kaayo ug after shock. Naa mi karon sa kalsada nang higda kay mahadlok mi mobalik sulod. Tanan tawo sa tagbilaran naa sa kalsada nang higda.

Kumusta na imong Nanay Te?

All of these are gone now. Pastilan. Memories na lamay nabilin ani.

Arang ka bug-at sa dughan makita ning mga simbahana nga nahanaw. Unta irestore ni.

Sa amo ara konong kakusog ang linog but no reports of damage.

God bless Bohol!

You're welcome bro. Ma pasalamat ta kai naka dungog ang Ginoo sa atong prayers! I'm glad your friend is safe, Brod Vince, as well as you and your family, too.

PS. Very glad that you're back here posting again. Welcome home!

There is no place like TB Bro! Hahahaha. I will just ignore the unignorable.

Salamat Kaajo ni Ginoong Hesus Kristo! I'm happy that Bohol and Southern Leyte were both spared. I have a great deal of family and relatives in these two provinces. I'm happy to know that you're safe, too, bro. And that Tita Isles is okay too. When I was reading this thread last night, i thought of her and her animals and pets.

Again, thanks for the weather updates, Mr. Weatherman / Accountant !

Na mao lagi. Asa ra kaha to si Ate Islex. Wa pa man makagimaw. I hope she is okay with her banana and pets. Sige Bro, salamat pud sa prayers. I was very worried last night kay I have a friend in Aurora and she reported nga nanglupad na ang mga atop sa mga bay didto. Althoug, just this morning, she reported that they are okay now. Wa lamay kuryente. Thanks again Bro!

Ningpatighulog man diay si Santi. Matod sa earlier forecast adto sa may La Union mogawas ang bagjo.

Sa dihang hapit na maglandfall si Santi nagbag-o ang ijahang direction. Instead nga west-northwest (padung sa La Union) mius-us pa south. Hapit gani maigo ang Manila. Kung sa Quezon pa to naglandfall, direct hit ang Manila. Mao ning importante kaajo ang preparedness ug communication sa PAG-ASA.

Murag wa na pud mangatug ang mga tawo didto and I commend them for a job well done. Kung mamatay pa man ganing gikan sa bagjo, wa nay sa ang PAG-ASA ana. Hehehehe. I hope ingana kara bagjo.

So far Bro, it is now in the waters of West Philippine Sea. No report of major damage has been accounted yet, pero mag expect ug damage from the provinces nga na direct hit - Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac and Zambales. Although it appears the LGUs were prepared.

As for Bohol, lajo ras tinai ang igo pero there are thunderstorms warning somewhere in Albuquerque although localized thunderstorms ra.

I hope nga way major damage ug loss of life from Santi.

Dia ang mga rainfall data sa maong mga lugar. Makita nga may spike sa amount of rain sa oras nga miagi si Santi sa maong mga lugar:
