CBCP warns public vs. bogus priests

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) here on Monday warned the public against bogus priests.

Bogus priests visit both the public and private cemeteries and pretend to bless burial sites and graveyards with holy water, say a prayer, then collect contributions from the relatives who pay a visit to the departed.

The CBCP directive urged the public to make sure that the person blessing their dead relatives is a real priest by asking appropriate identification and reference.

In Cagayan De Oro City, police and local officials had earlier thrown a security blanket around the public and private cemeteries here as people are expected to troop to the graveyard Monday night.

Security was tightened in the “City’s Memorial Park,” the largest public cemetery in Bolonsori, Camaman-an, this city, as thousands of people flocked to the area Monday.

Police and local village officials had strictly enforced the ban against liquor, gambling, loud music, and the bringing in of blunt objects in all the cemeteries here.

A team from the local risk reduction, disaster management team has been deployed to various cemeteries in the city to provide emergency relief when needed. (PNA)

We Live by Revelation

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law. Proverbs 29:18

The world operates on vision. God’s people live by revelation. The world seeks grand and noble purposes and goals to achieve. People dream up the greatest and most satisfying things in which they can invest their lives. Institutions establish goals and objectives and then organize themselves to achieve them. God’s people function in a radically different way. Christians arrange their lives based on the revelation of God, regardless of whether it makes sense to them. God does not ask for our opinion about what is best for our future, our family, our church, or our country. He already knows! What God wants is to get the attention of His people and reveal to us what is on His heart and what is His will, for God’s ways are not our ways! (Isa. 55:8-9). Whenever people do not base their lives on God’s revelation, they “cast off restraint.” That is, they do what is right in their own eyes. They set their goals, arrange their agendas, and then pray for God’s blessings. Some Christians are living far outside the will of God, yet they have the audacity to pray and ask God to bless their efforts! The only way for you to know God’s will is for Him to reveal it to you. You will never discover it on your own. When you hear from the Father, you have an immediate agenda for your life: obedience. As the writer of Proverbs observed: “Happy is he who keeps the law.”

DOJ to submit for resolution drug raps vs 6 suspects in San Juan drug raid

MANILA, Jan. 6 (PNA) -â€" The Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to submit for resolution on the drug trafficking charges against six suspects including three Chinese nationals who were arrested in a raid in San Juan City which yielded some 500 kilos of shabu worth around Php3 billion last December 23.

During the continuation of preliminary investigation hearing on charges of violations of Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) held at the DOJ on Friday, the suspects -- including three Chinese nationals identified as Shi Gui Xiong, Che Wen De, and Wu Li Yong -- were assisted with their respective counsels.

All six suspects were charged before the DOJ last Dec. 27. They underwent inquest proceedings before Assistant State Prosecutors Mary Jane Sytat and Ethel Rhea Suril.

The three Chinese nationals failed to submit their counter-affidavits.

The counsel of Wu Li Yong manifested they are willing to submit counter-affidavit, but they did not know their client was given until Friday (Jan. 6) to submit his counter-affidavit while the counsels of Shi Gui Xiong and Che Wen De moved that they will not file counter-affidavits.

Last Tuesday (Jan. 3), the three Chinese nationals still did not have a lawyer. With this, Assistant State Prosecutors Sytat and Suril gave them until next hearing on Friday to submit their counter-affidavits through the assistance of a public attorney.

The three other respondents identified as Abdullah Mahmod Jahmal, Salim Cocodao Arafat and Basher Tawaki Jamal already submitted their counter-affidavits last hearing.

Through the assistance of PAO, the three Filipino respondents, in their counter affidavits, denied the allegations of manufacture, trading, delivery, distribution, possession and transportation of illegal drugs.

The three were arrested in the drug bust led by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in San Juan City.

They claimed that they just passed by the area where the raid was conducted and were just asked by an unknown person to drive the running, empty vehicle where they were later on arrested.

During the Friday hearing, the counsel of Jahmal manifested that they have secured the CCTV footage from Jollibee Annapolis and will get it within the day at 3 p.m., thus he is given until Monday (Jan. 9) at 11 a.m. to submit the footage. Otherwise, it will not be considered as evidence for his defense.

Meanwhile, the counsel for Arafat manifested that the NSO copy of his birth certificate will likewise be submitted on Monday at 11 a.m.

But the NBI said the complainant already submitted additional evidence that Arafat is an adult due to the presence of third molar on all his four quadrants during a dental ageing examination done on Jan.3.

Complainant NBI Task Force Against Illegal Drugs (TFAID) served a search warrant to the suspects last Dec. 23 at 309 Mangga Street corner Infanta in Barangay Little Baguio where they found plastic bags containing shabu.

After one month of surveillance, operatives confirmed the information and applied for a search warrant.

PHL GDP seen to grow 7% to 7.5 % in 2017
By Leslie D. Venzon

MANILA, Jan. 5 (PNA) -- First Metro Investment Corp. (FMIC), the investment banking arm of the Metrobank Group, sees the Philippine economy expanding by 7 to 7.5 percent and outperforming its ASEAN peers in 2017.

“There will also be a lot of internal and external changes and threats that will impact the country’s economy but we are optimistic that given our sound macroeconomic fundamentals and compelling investment story, the country’s economy will remain strong,” said FMIC President Rabboni Francis Arjonillo.

Arjonillo said this year’s economic growth would be driven by higher capital investments as the Duterte administration continued to ramp up infrastructure spending.

Infrastructure spending is projected to grow 5 to 5.5 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) this year.

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board has so far approved 17 projects worth Php392.9 billion during the Duterte administration’s first six months in service.

Dr. Bernardo Villegas, Professor at University of Asia and the Pacific, identified other engines for the Philippine economy this year, including strong business process outsourcing (BPO) sector, domestic tourism, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) remittances, public-private partnership (PPP) projects and agriculture and manufacturing sectors.

“Manufacturing is going into renaissance,” he said, adding the continued growth of the so-called fast growing consumer products will also drive economic growth.

OFW remittances will sustain its growth of 2 to 4 percent as the United States economy continues to improve. The recovery of oil prices is also seen to translate into higher demand for OFWs.

GDP is estimated to have grown 7 percent in 2016. It accelerated 7 percent in the first three quarters. (PNA)

POEA shuts down recruitment agency, owners face raps

MANILA, Jan. 6 (PNA) -- The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) has padlocked a recruitment agency found to be enlisting Filipino workers for overseas employment without proper authority.

Operatives of the POEA Anti-Illegal Recruitment Branch, with the assistance of the Public Employment Service Office (PESO), Business Permits and License Office, and the City Police office of Valenzuela City, shut down the office of LDQ Manpower located at 3455 Lozada Street, Malanday in the city to prevent them from further unlawfully recruiting workers for abroad.

Applicants of LDQ Manpower complained that they were promised employment in Japan as caregivers, factory workers, and cleaners and were required to pay Php70,000 for processing fee; Php32,000 for plane ticket, and Php20,000 as ‘show money’.

The agency allegedly send workers to Japan using tourist visas through the ‘escort system’ at the international airports.

The POEA is assisting the applicants in filing illegal recruitment cases against its owner Luz Dating Quiambao; her husband Jeffrey Flores Quiambao; employee Precious Noche Velasco and will include their names in the POEA’s List of Persons with Derogatory Record.

The POEA advises job applicants to always verify with the POEA the legitimacy of the recruitment agency or its agents before accepting job offers through phone hotlines 7221144 and 7221155 or its verification system at the website poea.gov.ph. (PNA)
