An Abu Sayyaf terrorist long wanted by the law for a string of kidnapping cases, including the celebrated kidnapping of Italian missionary Fr. Giancarlo Bossi in 2007, died in an encounter with arresting police officers in Zamboanga City at noon today.

SAMAD AWANG alias Ahmad Jamal y Mara, succumbed to gunshot wounds after he engaged members of a composite police team in an encounter at 12:30 PM on December 9, 2020 in Sitio Sohaya, Brgy Mampang, Zamboanga City.

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas quickly commended the units and personnel involved in the operation for the significant accomplishment in the continuing campaign against crime and lawlessness in Western Mindanao.

"This operation serves as an example of a well-coordinated law enforcement action to account for wanted criminals," he said.   

In a report to the Chief PNP, Police Brig Gen Jonel Estomo, Director of the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG) said a team led by AKG agents from the Mindanao Field Unit under PLTC Clarence Gomeyac, backed by operatives from the CIDG, PNP-SAF, Regional Mobile Force Battalion-9,  Philippine Army Inteligence Unit, and Marine Battalion Landing Team -11, served a Warrant of Arrest against Awang for the crime of Kidnapping and serious Illegal Detention in Criminal case No. IM-13-0675 issued by Hon. Josefino Bael, Presiding Judge of RTC Branch 31 of Imelda, Zamboanga Sibugay.

Armed with a cal.45 handgun, Awang put up stiff resistance by firing at the arresting team triggering an encounter that led to his death, Estomo said.

"The long arm of the law finally caught up with this notorious and wanted criminal", Sinas said.

Awang is listed in PNP record as the 25th Most Wanted Kidnapping for Ransom suspect in Western Mindanao as sub-leader of the Abdussalam Group that is associated with the Abu Sayyaf faction of Furuji Indama.

Estomo said Awang was involved in the kidnapping of Joel Endino last Jan 29, 2011 at Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay; the kidnapping of Fr. Giancarlo Bossi in 2007 and the kidnapping of Kathy Casipong in 2013.

The Visayan-speaking Italian priest who had lived in the Philippine for over 20 years was kidnapped by Abu sayyaf terrorists in Payao, Zamboanga Sibugay and held captive in Basilan island for over a month and  was released by his kidnappers due to pressure for military-police operations. Bossi was recalled to Italy by his religious order where he died of cancer in 2012.

Prayer for Abundant Life

Heavenly Father,
Thank You. Thank You for loving me so much that You want me to have an abundant life. Thank You for sharing Your wisdom with me. Thank You for informing me of the enemy's tactics and tricks. Thank You for the protection from the stealing and killing and destroying, the enemy tries to hurl my way. Lord, I pray fervently that You open my eyes to the tricks of the enemy. Allow me to walk through today with a discerning heart, as I traverse the mundane details of this earthly life. I pray that You never allow these lessons to be wasted. Remind me when I fall victim to the days where nothing is going my way, that I need only YOU. I surrender my attitude to You, Lord. I surrender my thoughts that say, "nothing is going my way." I willingly exchange the enemy's attempt at death and destruction with Your abundant and free-flowing life. Guide me today and every day and continue to remind me who I am. In Your matchless name, I pray.
AMEN

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
(John 10:10)

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
(Jeremiah 29:11)

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
(Matthew 6:33)

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
(Romans 12:2)

"And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.

How to Take Care of Collectible Coins

There are collectors that specifically find classic editions of coins that existed during the period from 1892 to 1954. These coins have marked events or may signify the work of  royalty during that period. There are those collectors that prefer the modern series that are very distinct as well. One modern collection is that of the quarter dollars that represent the 50 states of the US. Minting and circulation started in 1999 and will continue until 2008. These are specially made editions available for collectors.

Many collectible coins are made of copper and a collector may encounter problems in maintaining their features and appearance. A person collecting this type of coin should learn how to maintain and take proper care of these expensive collections. Copper coins should be cleaned correctly and must be preserved the same way professional collectors treat their coins.

Professional collectors clean their coins by the process of placing the coins in a container that is airtight. This is a safe way to preserve the features of the coins. Because of the coins' years of circulation, there is the possibility of a coin accumulating encrustations, coatings, dirt, and other problems on a coin's face. These accumulations may cause  pitting and corrosion to the surface of the copper coin. The corroded portions should be removed properly without making any scratches.

There are products available that are made especially for coin cleaning. Coin suppliers have these products that are specifically made for coin maintenance and cleaning in stock. One product made for this purpose is MS70 which removes corrosion and other surface dirt. It is advisable to use rubber gloves for the protection of your hands, as MS70 can dry the skin but this should be of little concern because it is not that harsh on the skin. A soft toothbrush may help with cleaning and removing any dirt that is in the surface of the coin. Improvement in the appearance of the coin will be seen after it has been soaked and cleaned. If satisfaction is not met on the cleanliness and appearance of the coin, he may add baking soda to neutralize the MS70 and soak it in warm water.

After he is through with the soaking, he may dry the coin using a Blue Ribbon coin cleaner and preservative; he may apply a coat and dry it for a couple of days then wipe the damp parts with soft cotton balls and place it on a small cardboard with a space on the center.

If he finds discoloring on the coin, he may use Dellars Darkener after he has soaked it in MS70. He may use this product before he applies the Blue Ribbon cleaner and preservative until he is satisfied with  the cleanliness of his coin. Once satisfied with the new appearance of the coin, he may again return it to its set or collection.

The next step would be maintenance and preservation the collection. Here are some tips on how to take care of coin collections:

1.   The coin should be protected from exposure to any kind of elements. It is also important not to scratch the coins; they should be handled with care to avoid scratches on the surface of the coins.

2.   It is safe to store the coins in plastic cases or pockets that are made specifically for coin collections and sets. These cases and pockets can protect the coins from dirt and scratches.

3.   Coins should be cleaned properly using vinegar, lemon juice, ammonia or rubbing alcohol.

4.   If there is unwanted dirt that is hard to remove on the surface, chemical products for cleaning like Tarnex may be used. This option may be used if vinegar and lemon juice were not able to remove the dirt.

5.   It is very important to remember that the value of the coin may depreciate if the coin has been cleaned. It is recommended to seek the advice of an expert on other ways of preserving a coin

Many coin collectors believe that a person should never ever clean their collection because they believe that any product that is applied to the coin will affect the surface. A person should know how to preserve their collection and avoid dirt from touching the coins.    Source: PLR

Tips on How to Avoid Fraud on Collectible Coins

Many people enjoy shopping online where there are great buys of coins that can be found. A person may prefer do his shopping while he is at home because it is convenient and time-saving instead of going out looking for stores that sell collectible coins and other souvenirs.

A person can differentiate between a live auction and an Internet because an online auction can take several days to complete.  They entertain bids for the highest price up until the time the auction is about to close.. Many people that are bidding online enjoy the experience and they may be familiar with the strategies to use to win an online auction. 

There are also online sites where a person can buy any item that may capture his interest. This is where most coin collectors purchase their desired coins. By searching and finding the item that they want, they can actually negotiate and make the payments through the Internet. This can be very risky as you are dealer/seller that is unknown to the buyer, yet many people are still making transactions and payments through this kind of online auction.

Fraud is common even though many Internet sites that do business online contend that the risk of fraud is not something to worry about. They contend that only 0.0025 percent of true cases of fraud occur with online transactions - that means only one out of 40,000 listed Internet transactions would be fraudulent. On the other hand, the FBI has their own investigations, which prove that those figures are not true- they contend that the risk of fraud is much higher according to their statistics.

A person should believe the FBI for his own protection. Even if one can say that the majority of online coin selling transactions are honest and credible, the process used to make the transaction most probably is questionable and uncertain. There are business transactions, which are intentionally committing fraud with their clients and buyers. Aside from flea-market dealers, mail-order sellers, in-person auctions and some coin stores, the Internet has introduced the crime of fraud to many people in the easiest way possible.

One protection that a coin buyer should know is how to get "feedback"; that way, a person can see the ratings other bidders give the seller and he may compare his transaction with the transaction of the others. Since there is a great risk of fraud where there is negative feedback, the person may withdraw his participation from the auction if he deems that to be necessary.

A person may also acquire ideas by looking for those members who have left  "positive feedback" and compare it to the reaction of the sellers. A person can make an assessment of what could be possible useful information from those reactions. Be careful and precise about any transaction that is offered by the seller.

There are instances where a person is deceived about the item he purchased. The photo shown on the Internet displayed the coin that a person wants to have but they delivered a totally different item. These cases are fraud. A person must make sure that the item he saw on the photo is the exact item that will be delivered to him. Here are some tips that will help a person prevent fraud during a coin search in the Internet.

1.   A person should save the online photo of the coin he wants to purchase. Many sellers remove the image and the title of the item once a purchase has been made.

2.   A person should get the description and the auction information. It should either be e-mailed to the buyer or sent in writing by mail.

3.    If there are suspicions regarding an auction, a person should ask for clarification from to the seller. This will avoid misunderstandings and confusion on the part of the buyer.

4.    A person has the right to refuse any transaction where he thinks the price given on the coin is too high. One should be aware of the standard price of the specific coin and compare it to the price that was given during the online transaction.

5.   A person can ensure that there will be no fraud by asking the seller, before the auction closes, if there is any available escrow assistance for the bidder.

These are only a few tips that will ensure a person of his safety when making any transactions online. Fraud can happen to anyone, especially those who are interested in purchasing collectible coins online. It is always important to be informed and knowledgeable about the possibilities of encountering fraud. source: PLR

Tips in Buying Bullion Coins

What are bullion coins? These coins may have high values because they are not only limited; but also they may have been found in shipwrecks, or they may come from the ancient times. Bullion coins are the type of collector's items that many people look for.

The silver bullion could be the most well known type of bullion that is selling very well in the internet aside from those that are to be considered to be most expensive and valuable items in the world.

Some high priced coins that are displayed on the internet include the silver ingot. The silver ingot was said to have been found in the Spanish ship Atocha that sank in the ocean. This ship was found to contain treasures and artifacts including silver ingots. Others claim that the silver ingots were recovered from an old Colorado Mining area. Coins were found everywhere and were said to have been hidden by the miners.

The silver Maple Leaf Coins, which are officially sealed, are also popular among collectors. These coins came from the Royal Canadian Mint and include the Walking Liberty half-dollars and the dealer roll first-strike 1994 U.S. Eagles. These items were a collection of the Franklin Mint which had more than 100 masterpieces in his memorabilia.

Most bullion collectors prefer the gold billion. Some famous bullion gold coins include the gold Krugerrands, which are from South Africa. The European Gold Crowns were released from the late 1800s  to the early 1900s. Other items include the Canadian Maple Leaf Coins and the United States American Eagle Coins. British Sovereigns are also seen on the internet as are the Swiss Helveteas and the French Roosters.

The awesome 10-ounce Swiss gold bar, China gold panda set, and the American eagle proof set coins can also be found and are considered to be the most seen coins on the internet. There are gold bullions found in the American Eagle set, Mixed Lots, Rounds, Bars, and any other similar categories that are found on some sites n the internet.

A type of bullion that is not well known is the Platinum bullion. It is less researched on the internet because the demand for it is not as great as the silver and gold bullions. Platinum bullions can be purchased anywhere: some of them are the French Statue of Liberty coins, Eagle sets, and the Koala Proofs. The World Trade Center has also offered some Platinum bullions like the Englehard platinum bar, crucible dish made of platinum bullion, and the Johnson Matthew Year of the Dragon coins which were recovered from the safety vaults of the building when it collapsed.

These coins can be considered as thoughtful gifts aside from their being valuable since they can be kept as a souvenir from the person who gave it. A bullion bar that features a happy birthday greeting can be a thoughtful gift for a friend's birthday especially if the bar has the date of the birthday on it. Some people also use them for their anniversaries as their gifts to one another - they search for those bullions that have the date of their engagement or the wedding year. Some brides also ask their groom to find her 24-karat gold flakes or silver flakes as her chosen token for their wedding.

Coin collecting of this type can be very expensive, especially when buying bullions, but here are some tips that can guide a person in his search for affordable bullions.

1.   A person must be sure of the type of bullion he would like to purchase before ordering or buying.

2.   He must ask himself, or the person  he is buying the bullion for, what bullion he/she prefers and ask if they would like to come with him when purchasing the bullion.

3.   A person must figure the delivery costs and add them to the agreed price.

4.   A person should be sure that the seller would contact give him a delivery for the item if they have ordered it on the internet.

5.   He should never make the payments using instant money transfer firms.

6.   It is important to know the seller's background and reputation in the business.

A person can purchase any bullion that he prefers. The idea of giving bullions to a special loved one or friend can be very thoughtful and it will serve as memorabilia that will be kept throughout the years.

Guide for Rare Coin Collectors

Coin collecting is one hobby that is both fun and challenging. To help those who are looking for those rare coins, here is a list of hard to find ones that are worth moving "heaven and earth" for.

Gold coins are something of a rare commodity. They were circulated only until 1933, which makes them expensive when they are auctioned. The nice thing about gold is that its value probably will never go down - making it a good investment.

Another rare coin sought by collectors is the Liberty Seated Dollar. These were last produced some time in the 19th century and are considered to be a rare find.

From 1875 to 1878, twenty cent coins were minted. This coin looks very much like a quarter and since its value is very low today, it is a coin worth looking for.

The Barber half dollars are rare coins that were minted from 1892 until 1915 and are collected by people depending on date or type. One of the challenges that occurs when searching for this coin is finding one in good condition.

The 1917 type One Standing Liberty Quarter is another coin worth owning. It was only minted for 2 years and shows the exposed breast of Ms. Liberty. This design created such an uproar that it had to be replaced and was only circulated for a year.

Mercury dimes were produced periodically during the 20th century. The market value of them is $50 a piece.

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a beautiful coin for collectors. They were only circulated for 4 years and are considered to be one of the all time rare coins to ever exist.

The Texas Commemorative Half Dollar is another rare coin. Only 150,000 of these were minted over a 4 year period and just 60% to 80% of these are still available today making it one of the hardest coins to find today...

The most expensive coin is the $20 Saint Gaudens. This was sold in an auction for nearly $8 million. The design is truly superb and the value of it has never dropped even during the 1980-82 bear market.

Rare coins are truly a challenge for anyone who seeks to make this a mission in life. Not only are they hard to find but it they are expensive to acquire. Should a person have the funds available to purchase them then this adventure is truly something worth finishing.

How to Grade Your Coins

A "grade" is described as a shorthand designed by coin experts (numismatists) to reveal a coin's appearance.  Simply put, if a certain coin collector tells another collector that he owns an uncirculated Charlotte 50 half eagle, both should already have a concept of the coins appearance without even seeing it, because of the claim of its grade.

Some disclose that designating a grade to rank or categorize a coin is more of an art rather than science, since often it is extremely subjective or biased; this applies particularly when working on "Mint State" coins where little differences, in terms of grade, make so much difference in the price.

Grading can be learned, studied and applied with a predictable and known outcome that eventually depends on judgment, not feelings.

Like any language, science, sport, or research, it is best to learn and understand coin grading one component at a time, through serious study and experience.

Today, most numismatists use the "Sheldon grading scale". While there are those that complain of "too many grades", most experienced coin graders recognize and appreciate the fact that there is a wide range in features between ranges.

Strike

This is the method of stamping or imprinting a drawing or a symbol onto a blank.  Depending on the coin's design, it can either have weak or strong strike. An example of this would be the "Type II gold dollar" on which both sides (front and back) have the highest strike that is perfectly aligned, meaning, these designs require weak strikes.

Generally the strike is not a key factor in establishing the coin's grade except when it is included in a series where the value is connected to strike.

Preservation of the coin's surface

The number of coin marks as well as where they are placed is a significant element in establishing the grade. While there is no fixed formula on the number of coin marks that sets its grade, there are several regulated standards regarding the significance of the location or positioning of a scratch.

For instance, a coin having a deep scratch that it is not easily visible on its reverse (back) side will not be strictly penalized. However, if the same scratch was positioned on a noticeable or obvious central point on the front, such as the cheek on the Statue of Liberty, it would be penalized  much more.

Patina or luster

A coin can have a variation of textures on the surface, influenced by design, the metal that was used and the "mint of origin".  Textures can include frosty, satiny, proof-like and semi-proof-like.

When examining the coin's surface in terms of grade, two things should be looked at; the quantity, or what is left of the original skin (has to be intact), and the location and amount of marks.

Luster is important especially when determining whether a coin is either circulated or uncirculated.  A coin in Mint State technically; is free of abrasion and wear and must not have significant breaks in its luster.

Color

This is a very subjective element in determining coin grade. For instance, a "gold coin" showing dark green-gold pigmentation may be unattractive to one collector and attractive to another.

As gold is moderately an inert metal, it is not prone to much color variance as copper or silver. Although wide ranging colors may exist in gold coins.

Almost all of US gold coins had been dipped or cleaned, therefore not anymore displaying their original color. As coin collectors become knowledgeable, most of them are attracted and fascinated to coins having their natural color. In most coin series, it is nearly impossible to discover original coin pieces.

Eye attraction or appeal

Color, luster, strike and surface marks come together, comprises "eye appeal".  Note that a coin having superior "eye appeal" can be strong in one aspect, such as possessing exceptional luster but not quite as strong in another aspect, such as not so good color.

A coin that is undesirable in one aspect yet good enough in all the other aspects can still be distinguished as "below average" in "eye appeal".

Knowing how to grade a coin is very important so that one can have an idea of the value or price of the coin that he is buying or selling.  When new to coin collecting, be sure to ask the help of an experienced collector or dealer when buying or exchanging your coins. : source: PLR

Wanna Start On Collecting Coins?  A Worthwhile and Educational Hobby

There are many reasons why one collects coins. There are collectors who collect on the basis of the coin's future perceived value, some collect coins coming from just one particular period, some on metal type and some for a coins historical value.

There are also those who enjoy collecting everyday common coins, gaining pleasure from inspecting mint marks and dates on their everyday change.  Others have a collection of coins coming from different countries.  Some coin collectors spend thousands on rare gold and silver coins from the period of the 1800's until the early 1900's.

The hobby of coin collecting can give pleasure and fun to an individual of any age. Many coin collectors began their collection when they were young children, collecting dimes or pennies and many of them have made coin collection a lifetime hobby.

The hobby of collecting coins involves spending money from the very start so it is good to join a coin collectors group to get ideas and help from knowledgeable and experienced collectors.

You need somebody to buy your coins from, and it may be hard to find a coin dealer of good repute when your are new to the hobby, so having someone that has been in this hobby for years can be of great help to guide you on choosing an honest and knowledgeable coin dealer.

Begin by acquiring a big magnifying glass and examine coins in a bright area so you can spot mintmarks, errors and to clearly read dates on worn or damaged coins.

Decide on what coins to collect and buy a "bookshelf folder" for that series.

You must also have storage, such as clear tubes made of plastic or coin tubes having top screws to keep your coins in until you are ready to put them in a coin album; storage can also be good for keeping duplicate coins.

You must learn about different coin values. Follow what types of coins are sold, and how they are priced, based on dealer pricing. You also will need someone or some references that will show you how to evaluate the accurate value of a certain coin based on mint mark, age, color, surface and condition.

"A Guide Book of United States Coins" or universally known as "the red book", which is published yearly, provides a good outline of the U.S. coins history, information on basic coin grading, coin descriptions from past to present including a list of errors to watch for, average U.S. coins retail cost, and an explanation of errors which occurred in the "minting process".

Monthly publications from "Coinage" (coin collecting magazine) contain many useful facts and information as well articles about your new found hobby plus a lot of great photos.

The newspaper, particularly in the numismatic world section, will be of great interest to you especially when you become more and more involved and interested in your hobby and want to remain up to date with the present happenings in the world of numismatics. 

As you grow more experienced in coin collecting, your "eye for coins" will improve and develop maturely so that you now will be scrutinizing more carefully the features and details such as coin lettering, making certain that the letters are not blemished or blurred, but are still  distinguishable. 

You will be spending so much interest and concentration on the coin's general state that eventually you can walk away from certain coins that show evidence of abrasion, and will then be experiencing the fun side of coin collecting.

Spend ample time reading, looking at photos, learning from experienced collectors and asking as many questions as needed from not only other collectors, but dealers as well. The hobby of coin collecting is a continuing process that will last for as long as you are continuing the hobby.

Your knowledge and training will save you a lot of money as well as make you money when the time comes, but more importantly, have fun while learning. Take pleasure in what they call the "Hobby of kings" that has turned to be the "King"of hobbies.

Keep on studying and learning, because the better you understand, the more that you will enjoy your new found hobby. - source: plr

How to Detect Counterfeit Coins

A special machine does the stamping of coins to make them genuine. People who counterfeit coins are well trained and have the capacity to manipulate their duplication - especially those rare coins which have high value among collectors. The most common procedure used in counterfeiting is that they pour a liquid metal into molds that will leave die marks with cracking on the counterfeit coin.

Those who are experts in determining counterfeit coins have observed that the changes seen in the coins have added, removed, or even altered the coin's date markings. If a person thinks that he is in possession of a counterfeit collectible coin, he can compare it with another coin – one like the suspect coin – which is known be genuine and have the same markings. 

If the coin's value is more than 5 cents, look for corrugations in the outer edges of the coin. These are very thin railings (also know as "reeding") on the edges of the coins.  Genuine coins have very thin edges and the railings are even and distinct if one is very observant. Those coins that are counterfeit can be distinguished if the edges are not thin enough and the railing is uneven or missing in some areas.

Should there be an instance when a person perceives that he has received a counterfeit coin, he must not return the counterfeit coin to the person that handed him. He must try to delay the person – should he try to escape – or try to keep that person in sight and follow him to his destination if possible. It is important to remember the person's clothes and physical appearance and if the person has any companion during the exchange: if they have a vehicle, get the car's license plate number and immediately call the nearest police department or the United States Secret Service for help.

There are many things that can be considered to determine whether the coin is counterfeit or not. There are terms that are used to describe a counterfeit coin's characteristics and they are as follows:

1.   A restrike of a coin can be considered to be genuinely authenticated. These coins are actually dated earlier than those originally issued by the country that released them but have the same or exact features as the original coins.

2.   Coins of a specific country in the ancient times are sometimes copied by another country. A person may think that it is forgery, but it is not because they had been legally approved in the country where they originated.

3.   Forgery can be associated with the making of an illegal profit. It would be the main objective of the counterfeiting syndicate. The government sometimes uses forgery for political propaganda, as in the Second World War when Germans produced millions of American and British banknotes with the intention of profiting from them and destabilizing their enemy's economic situation.

4.   Another known type of counterfeit coins is replica coins. Replica simply means that the original coins are copied with the same features and markings. The usual counterfeit coins have differences that are noticeable when examined by coin experts. Some coins have the word "copy" intentionally put on the sides of the coins and these replicas are used for educational purposes and museum displays.

5.   A Lebanese connection is said to have a huge production of counterfeit coins. These coins were found to be used in an attempt to fool many museums, collectors, business leaders and other countries that are searching for their ancient lost coins before the discovery of this syndicate.

6.   The collector intended forgery and the circulated intended forgery are types of forgeries where the coins are intended to be tokens yet the face values are accepted, despite of their illegality and irrelevant intrusive values.

It is important to consult an expert to determine if the coin is counterfeit or fake. An ordinary person can easily detect if the wrong metal was used for the counterfeiting. If the person is a collector of such items, he should be more aware of these coins. A collector needs to be more concerned with the collectible rare coins because this is where counterfeiters benefit frequently - their aim is to profit from the exclusive market for valuable coins. : source: plr

Learning the Ropes of Numismatics

Numismatics is the study of money, medallions, banknotes, token coins, and stock certificates. It is believed to have been established in the time of Julius Caesar who wrote the first book on the subject. It is a very interesting topic because every medal or coin signifies a different era, culture, economy and/or politics.

Numismatists or the people who study the history and over all appearance of the above mentioned forms of currency are different from coin collectors. Unlike numismatists, coin collectors are only interested in collecting coins and the prestige that goes along with it; a numismatist may also be a coin collector and vise versa.

Over the years, coin collection has been very popular. The most common designs are famous people and animals to depict the era when the specific coin was released.

Numismatists are generally interested in use of money, its origin, appearance, variety and production. They aim to explore the role of the different kinds of currency in our history using mint information. Mint refers to the place or facility where the coins are manufactured. They also grade or authenticate coins to determine their market value. T facilitate this, coin grading system facilities were established.

At this time there are three major third party facilities that authenticate coins and/or paper money. These are: the PCGS or Professional Coin grading system located in Newport Beach, CA; the NGC or Numismatic Guaranty Corporation in Sarasota, Florida; and Paper Money Grading (PMG).

PCGS is a third party institution that was established in 1986, which grades and authenticates coins primarily for commercial purposes. They are an independent body providing expert opinion in rating a coin. NGC is also a third party institution offering services solely to numismatists. It was established in 1987. On the other hand, PMG is solely for authentication of paper money and a smaller department of PCGS.

When coin collecting was not as popular as it is now, there were only 3 categories into which a coin could fall: 1. Good – which means that the coin has all of the details intact; 2. Fine – which means that the coin has all the details intact and still has a bit of luster visible; and 3. Uncirculated – which means that the coin was never put on the market thus maintaining its original appearance.

However, today coin grading has evolved and is becoming more definite. They use a combination of letters and numbers that corresponds to the quality of a coin. The coin grading system of United States of America is the most comprehensive and recommended for beginners. An example of USA grading system: MS-60 to MS-70 which means that the coin is blemish-free and has good color and strike. In short it's perfect!

Knowing how to grade a coin properly is not only a gift, it's an art. It requires knowledge, exposure and obviously skills. For coin collectors, ability to grade a coin is a must because the value of a coin largely depends its grade.

Here are some components Numismatists use in coin grading

1.   Luster - it is a determining factor whether or not a specific coin has been circulated. To have a higher grade, a coin must be technically intact and free from any form of imperfection or blemish.

2.   Surface preservation. Abrasion on the surface of the coin and its location is a huge factor in grading a coin but it does not necessarily mean that abrasion can lower the grade of a coin. For example, if a good-looking coin has a severe abrasion on the back that is unnoticeable it will not count against the coin, but the issue may not be the same if the abrasion is located on the front or focal point.

3.   Strike. It refers to the coin designing process wherein the coin is being stamped onto a planchet. In overall grading, strike does not weigh a great deal.

4.   Coloration. For some coin collectors, preservation of original color of the coin has a huge impact on its value especially if it is a copper or silver coin.
5.   Eye appeal. Some coins may not be perfect but collectors may find them attractive, however, it still requires expert opinion to conclude that a certain coin is excellent in all aspects mentioned.

If you have no background in grading coins, you have no business in coin collecting and numismatics without employing help from the experts. Coins have been playing vital roles, not only in the lives of people who love collecting and studying them, but in society as they represent different eras in history. Whether you are selling, buying or collecting coins, you must acquire the necessary basic knowledge or information; so that you can be assured that it is accomplished properly. : source: PLR

What are Commemorative Coins?

Commemorative coins have become very popular. Many people want to have different kinds of coins in their collections or for souvenirs. Many times they are used as traditional gifts for special occasions. These coins are not considered to be practical gifts, bur are commemorative items that can be kept for years as special souvenirs when received by a special friend or loved one.

There is a strong demand for these coins among people who are collectors as they may have significant meaning to them. Others will want them to remember an important day or occasion. The mint date and the event celebrated by the coin could be one factor people consider them collectible items.

Since the 1970s, the individual coins were available in the market every year, but are now available as sets in packages or in special displays. Many collectors say that one reason they are marketed this way was the depreciation of their value starting in 1971.  The introduction of the euro may also be a factor.

There are countries that have produce commemorative coins and used these coins for propaganda. There were monarchs who issued coins to commemorate past or current events and/or celebrations that recognized their authority.

The half dollar was produced in 1892 to commemorate the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This was a celebration to mark the 400th anniversary of the expedition of Christopher Columbus and his discoveries in the world.

During the following year, the first quarter dollar commemorative was introduced to signify the Exposition as well, but it also gave honor to queen Isabella of Spain. She was the one who "back-pedaled" the political agendas on Women Rights.

The first commemorative coins that were made of silver were introduced in the 1900s. The coins were minted in honor of Lafayette and George Washington. In the following years, the half dollar coin was denominated, and the legal tender commemorative coins were created to mark celebrations rather than historical events. These coins are recognized today as classical sets of special coins of historical events between the years1892 - 1954.

It was in 1932 that the Washington quarter dollar was released as the United States' second commemorative coin in its denomination. It was issued for the 200th birth anniversary of George Washington. The coin also continues its circulation as a commemorative coin because of its popularity.

It was uncharacteristic to circulate a commemorative coin of the 1892 - 1954 era in the United States because the government had not intentionally put them into circulation, (they were not legally approved by the government for public use) so collectors will not pay the premium costs of these coins that are still in the market.

In 1975, that the Bicentennial quarter was introduced. It became the second circulating commemorative coin in the country, while the silver dollars and half dollars (1776 – 1976) were reissued as a special collector's edition.

Many collectors have different agendas when collecting these coins. Some prefer commemorative coins from 1892 - 1954 while most collectors choose the modern editions. They know that these coins have different values depending on the series and/or editions.

Although there have been different series released, a proposal was submitted to congress that would mark the Lincoln cent for his birth anniversary. No one knows whether or not the 1-cent denomination commemorative coin will be minted.

The confusing part of these commemoratives that are circulating is the pattern of the denomination. The 1776-1976 commemoratives half-dollar and silver dollar may not be included in collections because of their scarcity. Most of the coins that are circulating are the quarter dollar coins. It should be an interesting development for the proposed circulation of the one cent commemorative coin. Source: PLR

By His Wounds We Are Healed

Father GOD in heaven,
I praise and thank You that Christ was lifted up to die on the cross to pay the price for my sin. I am as guilty of His death on the cross as those that falsely accused Him and nailed Him there to die. I am equally to blame and yet I praise and thank You that through faith in His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection I have been redeemed and forgiven of my sin and I praise You that His finished work was sufficient — Hallelujah — what a Savior — praise His holy name.... Again Father, thank You that the Lord Jesus Christ was wounded for my transgressions and bore my sins in His body on the tree. Thank You that my guilt has been exchanged for peace with God and the peace of God now rests in my heart. Thank You that I have been forever released from the bondage of sin and death and that by His stripes I have been healed: clothed in His righteousness and made a child of God. Thank You that Christ Jesus is my kinsman-Redeemer and the sinless Substitute for my sins — — which by His death and resurrection have been flung as far as the east is from the west — Thank You Lord.
In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all.
(Isaiah 53:4-6)

A Prayer When You Worry About What People Think

Dear Lord Jesus,
I spend so much energy trying to please others when You are the one I want to please. Forgive me for letting the fear of man keep me from a whole-hearted focus on You. You know my fears. I lift them up to You now and trust that You will deliver me. Father, give me the peace that passes all understanding as I turn my focus to You today. Help me to keep my eyes on You and You alone. Give me discernment to follow Your guidance today in each challenge that I face. Lord, instead of making other people the center of my life, I want to make You the center. I need Your grace to keep my gaze fixed on You. Lord, as I look to You, make me radiant with Your presence. Fill me with Your spirit, so others can see a reflection of Jesus in me when I speak or smile. Not so that they'll think I'm a good person, but so they'll see You are a good God. Bring glory to Yourself through me. Father, I thank You in advance for answering my prayer and delivering me from my worries about what others think. I trust that You will enable me to shine the light of Christ today. Thank you Lord. I love You Lord.
In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN

I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
(Psalm 34:4-5)

For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
(Psalm 149:4)

You were taught to change the way you were living. The person you used to be will ruin you through desires that deceive you. However, you were taught to have a new attitude. You were also taught to become a new person created to be like God, truly righteous and holy.
(Ephesians 4:22-24)

Quotes:

"One of the greatest mental freedoms is truly not caring what anyone else thinks of you."

"What God knows about me is more important than what others think about me."

"Until we care more about what God thinks than what other people think we are never truly free."

"You are not what others think you are. You are what God knows you are."

Prayer For An Unprecedented Time:
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Lord Jesus Christ our God,
You traveled through towns and villages "curing every disease and illness." At Your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of this virus, that we may experience Your healing love. Heal those 'O Lord who are suffering with this pandemic's illness. May they regain their strength and health through medical care. Heal us from our fears, which prevent nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another. Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders. Lord Jesus Christ, healer of all and physician of our souls and bodies, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow. Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with You in Your eternal peace. Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know Your peace. Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know Your protection and peace. Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to choose long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know Your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth. Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Lord Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us Your peace. For You are the Physician of our souls and bodies Christ our God and to You do we offer glory, thanksgiving and worship together with Your eternal Father and Your all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and forever and unto the ages of ages. Heal us Lord, we need You.
In Jesus' Name I Pray....

Prayer For Soul Cleansing

Heavenly GOD the Father,
Be gracious to me I pray, according to Your loving-kindness. Father, my sins are heavy against me and my soul is troubled for the many wrongs I have done against You, and for the many evil thoughts and unholy attitudes I have allowed to influence my heart and rule my life, for far to long. I have sought to condone my wrongdoings, and ignore the voice of my conscience within, and I ask Your forgiveness for my foolish pride, in ignoring the gentle promptings of Your Holy Spirit. Forgive me I pray, and restore to me the joy of Your salvation, for You have promised that all who truly confess their sins will be forgiven and returned back into a right relationship with You, and cleansed from all unrighteousness. Lord, the sacrifice of my heart is brokenness before You, my soul is truly contrite and my desire is to return into a right relationship with You. I know that the consequences of my wrong choices may remain with me for a long time, but I ask that in Your grace and mercy You would forgive my sins, cleanse my soul and restore me into a right relationship with Yourself, and my heart will rejoice in God my Savior, in Whose name I pray,
AMEN

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1 John 1:9)

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
(1 John 1:7)

He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.
(Titus 3:5)

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
(2 Corinthians 7:1)

It is the one who sins who will die. A son is not to suffer because of his father's sins, nor a father because of the sins of his son. Good people will be rewarded for doing good, and evil people will suffer for the evil they do.
(Ezekiel 18:20)

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
(Galatians 2:20)

QC COPS HAUL P2.4-MILLION MARIJUANA

Quezon City anti-narcotics agents arrested two Cordillera-based suspects believed responsible for the trafficking of Marijuana products to Metro Manila.

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas reiterated his earlier instructions to the PNP Drug Enforcement Group (PNP-EG),including other National Operating Units to step-up supply reduction operations in anticipation of the increased demand for illegal drugs  this holiday season. 

In a report to PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas, NCRPO Regional Director, Police Major General Vicente Danao Jr. said 20 kilograms of high-grade marijuana were confiscated from suspects DARYL COLLERA y COMOT, 24yo,of Sitio ng Timoy, Poblacion Bakun, Benguet; and MURRAY COMOT y SAGONG, 29yo, of Buyagan La Trinidad Benguet Province.

A background check on the suspects showed a previously dismissed case in 2015 for alleged Rape filed against Daryl Collera before the RTC Branch 64 of Buguias, Benguet. 

Danao said the suspects on board a Black Toyota Innova were arrested in a buy-bust operation launched by operatives of QCPD Police Station-4 along Quirino Highway, Brgy. Bagbag, Novaliches at 3:45 AM on Monday.

The confiscated Marijuana, weighing approximately 20 kilograms with an estimated street value of P2.4-million was neatly packed in twenty elongated packages wrapped in packaging tape, Danao said.

As required under RA 9165, the inventory of the confiscated Marijuana was witnessed onsite by Barangay Kagawad Betty Vitangcol of Brgy. Bagbag, Novaliches, Quezon City and media representative Leody Tobias of Radyo ng Masa, Danao reported.

He said the suspects will be presented to a state prosecutor for inquest proceedings upon completion of booking and documentation procedures.

Prayer to Experience His Presence

Dear Father God,
I love You, I need you. I'm overwhelmed and fearful, and constantly reminded at every turn how little control I have over all the things I care so much about. Help me to remember that is actually a good thing. You are sovereign, and I can trust You so much more than my own limited, flawed capabilities. Today, my anxiety is great within me — so Lord, like the Scriptures say, bring me joy. Comfort me in my fears with Your Presence as only You can! I need to experience You. I have the head knowledge of Your Truth, but I need my feelings to follow. I need my emotions to jump on board and catch up with Your Word. I ask You to calm my heart with Yourself. You are the only Source of true comfort, true peace, and true joy. I come before You, needy like a child — Your child. Thank You for being there, even when I can't feel it. Thank You for never leaving or forsaking me.
I need You Lord. I love You Lord.
In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN

"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy."
(Psalm 94:19)

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
(James 4:

The LORD replied, "I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you."
(Exodus 33:14)

You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
(Psalm 16:11)

Whenever I am anxious and worried, you comfort me and make me glad.

•Prayer For Deliverance In Spiritual Attacks•

Heavenly Father,
I call on You today as a blood-bought child of God asking for Your help and protection in this time of spiritual attack. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and that through His death and resurrection, sin, death and satan are a once and forever defeated enemy and that in Christ Jesus my Lord, I have victory over all the powers of darkness that would seek to spiritually shipwreck my trust and faith. Lord, as I stand before You, I know that I am united in Christ and that there is nothing that I should fear. I know that satan has a hatred of all those that are called by Your name, and that he schemes and plots against those that are positioned in Christ. Deliver me I pray, from the dangers and evils with which the forces of evil would seek to ensnare me and keep me I pray from all forms of temptation, so that I do not give the devil a foot-hold in my life. Thank You for the spiritual armor with which I can clothe myself daily and keep me alert to the devil's schemes. May I resist all his advances against me in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. This I ask in the name of the Lord Jesus, Who died and rose again so that satan's power over my life would be forever severed....
AMEN

Then a demon-possessed man, who was blind and couldn't speak, was brought to Jesus. He healed the man so that he could both speak and see.
(Matthew 12:22)

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
(1 Peter 5:

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not have life, but will remain under God's punishment.
(John 3:36)

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Press Release
HIGH NUMBER OF NPA SURRENDEREES ATTRIBUTED TO E-CLIP

The Enhanced-Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) is recognized as one of the reasons behind the increasing number of NPA surrenders in the Cagayan Valley and Cordillera regions.

Amnesty, free legal assistance, education support to children, livelihood and a new life integrated into the society are among the benefits derived from the E-CLIP.
Seeing no clear progress in the armed struggle, NPA rebels decide to come down from the harsh mountain life and embrace the government. Through the E-CLIP, the government offices rally together to provide holistic support to any former rebel who wished to be integrated back into society.

E-CLIP is a clear manifestation of the government's pure intention of taking back all Filipinos who fell prey to communism.

With this, the government through the Armed Forces is calling all NPA rebels to leave the armed struggle, be with their families this Christmas and start a new life. The government's E-CLIP and other programs stand ready to help you in attaining your real progress.

Our government has E-CLIP.

What does communism have to offer?

Leave the armed struggle. Return to your families. Start your own progress.

CPP-NPA KILLED 50,000 FILIPINOS -
     AND CONTINUES TO KILL

by Rigoberto Tiglao |  Manila Times
     November 27, 2020

IT is so despicable, and the height of duplicity, for communist mouthpieces, present and former Bayan Muna representatives Carlos Zarate and Teodoro Casiño, to claim — even in the halls of Congress that is a pillar of our democracy — that the Communist Party of the Philippines and its New People's Army (CPP-NPA) are not their nor the Filipinos' enemies.

How could they have the gall to claim this when the CPP-NPA is responsible for over 50,000 military, police and civilian deaths; when in their official publications, they boast of ambushing and killing the Republic's military and police; when even its "chairman emeritus" Jose Ma. Sison two years ago publicly asked the NPA to kill at least one soldier a day?

Official records — i.e., combat reports and death benefits to soldiers' families of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) — show that the NPA has killed 14,000 of its troops from 1975 to June this year. This is four times the 3,145 of our troops killed by both the Moro National Liberation Front and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and 82 times by the Islamic terrorists Abu Sayyaf.

But this is an underestimate of actual casualties, as these do not include the deaths that occur months or years after a soldier dies from a wound from an NPA bullet or mine. Many AFP records during the martial law period and the first years of the Cory Aquino regime, were also lost when the AFP headquarters building burned down from rebel fire during the 1989 coup attempt.

I estimate that a total of 53,000 Filipinos have been killed as a result of the CPP's efforts to topple our democracy. I assume the same number of 13,304 AFP soldiers the NPA killed to be those killed among the police, its network of agents, civilians and including those among the NPA itself since after all these have been poor peasants, workers and gullible youth fooled by the CPP's elites.

This is not far from the 43,000 number of Filipinos killed estimated by a former ranking CPP leader-turned-Dutch-citizen and academic Nathan Quimpo in his book Contested Democracy and the Left in the Philippines after Marcos.

Devoured

The CPP-NPA even devoured its own children, so to speak. At least 2,000 of its cadres were executed (after being tortured) because of suspicions they were military agents in the campaigns, called "Cadena de Amor," "Ahos," "Operation Missing Link" and "Olympia."

The CPP in a later investigation concluded that not even a dozen of those killed were military agents. I am waiting for Philippine Star columnist and former NDF bigwig Satur Ocampo to write a column on this — I was told it was he who stopped the madness.

I even have several comrades close to me who were executed by the CPP, allegedly for breaking away from it:
its first trade union bureau head (and central committee member) Noli Collantes;
Manila-Rizal party head Popoy Lagman;
Mindanao Commission head and legendary NPA leader Rolly Kintanar;
Northern Luzon party leader Arturo Tabara; and
the famous Cordillera guerrilla chief, the former Society of the Divine Word priest Conrado Balweg.
From CPP website, boasting of their killings.

Zarate, Casino and their ilk think Filipinos are fools. How can they claim the CPP-NDF is not an enemy of the Republic when its CPP constitution, program and its thousands of statements categorically say that its task is to smash the democratic state through violence?

They think we are so stupid as to not think that this will mean the killing of tens of thousands of our troops, and the deaths of civilians killed because of the crossfire as well as from plain hunger and disease which always accompanies war of any kind.

They should realize that all so-called wars of liberation, failed or succeeded, have always been at the cost of hundreds of thousands to millions killed, as in China (8 million, 1927-1949), Spain (1 million, 1936-1939), and Vietnam 4.3 million, 1966-1972.

Enemy

How can they claim that the CPP-NPA is not an enemy when their official documents themselves refer to the AFP as "enemies?"

Even those vanity-project autobiographies by former communists casually refer to the military as "enemies." They can call the Republic's military as the enemy, but the state cannot refer to them as such?

For these urban middle-class CPP minions like Casiño and Zarate (whose sons studied in the most expensive colleges here and abroad ) and even the communist leaders like Sison, his wife Julie and their NDF gang in Utrecht in the Netherlands, "revolutionary war" are abstractions they have romanticized and don't really existentially know the horrors of. They see themselves as if in a movie as glorious "revolutionary leaders," when what they have done is to merely direct an insurgency that has led to tens of thousands of Filipinos being killed, and Filipinos getting to be poorer and more miserable as businesses flee the areas where the NPA operates.

While asking teenagers to join the NPA, these people have never even fired a rifle, never lived with an NPA squad spending hungry nights in rainy, mosquito-infested jungles, never killed an AFP soldier and saw how blood spurts in mini-fountains after an Armalite bullet pierces a body, how corpses have that out-of-this-world, horrific look.

Casiño, Zarate and their ilk like the naïve UP Diliman Chancellor Fidel Nemenzo sickeningly refer to the CPP-NPA and its front organizations like their own party-lists as "revolutionary" or "progressive."

How can they be called "revolutionary" or "progressive" when they are advancing very old retrogressive ideas of communism and dictatorship of the proletariat, which have been totally disproven?

Let's tell it like it is. The CPP-NPA has left a broad trail of blood in the landscape of our land.

Past administrations, especially the two Aquino regimes, allowed the CPP-NPA to grow.

President Duterte appears to have a deep understanding of the insurgency, as Davao had been its epicenter in the 1980s. It will be his and his successor's tremendous legacy if they end this terrible, bloody curse on the nation.

Sikatuna was named after the famous Bohol Chief who made a blood compact with Legazpi in 1565.
Sikatuna was established as a town by Executive Order No. 88 issued by Gov. Gen. Francis Burton Harrison on December 5, 1917. It used to be called Comago, then a barrio of Alburquerque. During World War II, it was made an evacuation center by the people of its neighboring towns. When the Japanese learned of this, they put up a garrison in the municipal building. The guerillas did not attack the garrison in order not to expose the civilians to the danger of reprisal.

From the FB post of Ramon S. Ang

Generating jobs and rehabilitating our environment are two important concerns we always try to address. Today we're able to do both by hiring former residents of Taliptip, who just graduated from our Heavy Machinery Operations training course under TESDA. They will help us in our ongoing Tullahan River dredging project and other river cleanup projects. This will allow them to earn from their new skills and help in our advocacy, as they prepare for future jobs at our airport project in Bulacan. Again, I believe this is the best way we can help people: by enabling them to overcome adversity and build a better future for themselves and their families.

WANTED ABU SAYYAF MEMBER FALLS IN ZAMBOANGA

The PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG) has neutralized an Abu Sayyaf Group member who has been involved in kidnapping activities since 2016.

AKG Director, Police Brigadier General Jonel Estomo reported to PNP Chief, Police General Debold Sinas on their accomplishment following the service of a warrant of arrest against Jupuri Dais @ Jupuri Nabua at 2:00AM this morning in  Barangay Poblacion, Sibuco, Zamboanga Del Norte that led to a shootout.

Estomo said the suspect fired at a composite police team that was sent by the Court to serve a Warrant of Arrest for kidnapping and serious illegal detention. He was armed with a cal.45 pistol.

Police records identified Dais as a member of an Abu Sayyaf Group sub-unit under Almujir Yadah, Estomo said.

He was also a former member of Moro Islamic Liberation Front before his involvement in the operations of the Abu Sayyaf Group.

Dais is also being sought by AKG for his alleged involvement in a series of kidnapping incidents in Mindanao particularly the kidnapping of Martina Yee in 2016, Duterte Couple in 2017, and Ruda Couple and Javier Family in 2018.

This operation thwarted a possible kidnapping activity as he was tasked to spot in the area of Sibuco to abduct a certain Zamboanga-based project engineer and contractor, Estomo added.

Press Release
SINAS ORDERS CRACKDOWN VS. CONVICT-LED DRUG RINGS; REMINDS
OPERATING TEAMS TO USE PROTECTIVE GEAR IN HIGH-RISK OPERATIONS

Police busted another Cebu-based drug distribution network believed operated by a convicted druglord from inside prison.

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas said the latest discovery bolsters earlier similar revelations of the continued drug trafficking activities of convicted druglords even while serving sentence inside the national penitentiary.

Sinas directed Police Brig Gen Ronald Lee, Director of the PNP Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG) to to "coordinate closely with PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) and BuCor (Bureau of Corrections) to further validate the information and initiate possible interdiction operations."

In his report to Sinas, Lee said this latest discovery was revealed following an armed encounter at 10:30 PM on Tuesday with two heavily-armed drug suspects during a buy-bust operation in South Road Properties, Brgy. Mambaling, Cebu City.

According to Lee,  Michael Johnlery Olid y Nacion, 29yo and Arnel Degulacion y Barcenas, 42yo, both of Talamban, Cebu City, died in a gunbattle with arresting police operatives from the Regional Drug Enforcement Unit-7 and PDEG. The suspects were armed with a KG-9 submachinegun and a cal.45 pistol.

At the same time, the Chief PNP noted the risks faced by the operating team in defending themselves against the heavy firepower of the drug suspects. He reminded unit commanders to ensure adequate protective gear for operatives engaged in high-risk operations.

"Despite the hazards of the job, the PNP remains steadfast in our mission to eradicate illegal drug trade in the country and protect our people especially the youth from this menace," the Chief PNP said. 

Operatives recovered approximately two (2) kilograms of crystal Methamphtamine estimated to be worth P13.6-million drung the operation.

PDEG records identified Olid and Degulacion as henchmen of Ronald Aparecio Natividad alias Dodong Toldo, a convicted druglord now serving sentence at the San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm in Zamboanga City.

Olid and Degulacion are also closely asssociated with Natividad's son Dave Kelleher who is presently detained at the Mandaue City Jail on drug charges, while the convict's wife Annabel was arrested by NCRPO and Bacoor City Police agents last November 2, 2020 with five (5) kilograms of Shabu during a buy-bust operation.

Last September, three henchmen of convicted druglord Rustico "Dikoy" Ygot were arrested by PNP anti-narcotics agents while negotiating to sell seven (7) kilograms of Shabu worth PHP47.6 million. Ygot was convicted in 2013 and has since been committed to the National Penitentiary.

COTABATO MALL BOMBER DIES IN CLASH WITH POLICE

The alleged mastermind of the New Year's eve 2018 bombing of a shopping mall in Cotabato City died in an encounter with police shortly after midnight this morning.

Abraham Abad Abdulrahman a.k.a. ABU SUFFIAN died in a a gunbattle with a composite police team implementing a Search Warrant in Barangay Bagua 2, Cotabato City at 1:30 AM on December 1, 2020.

Sinas extended the commendation of the national leadership to the operating teams that participated in the operation even as he urged other PNP units to intensify efforts against terrorist personalities belonging to domestic and transnational threat groups.

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas, citing a post-operation report from Police Colonel Warren De Leon, Acting Director of the PNP Intelligence Group, said a joint team from the Counter-Terrorism Division of Regional Intelligence Units 12 & 15 of PNP-IG; CIDG-BAR Regional Field Unit; PNP Special Action Force; and Cotabato City Police Office implemented a Search Warrant on the residence of Jasmiyah Camsa Imbrahim on orders of Hon. Allan Edwin Boncavil, Acting Presiding Judge of RTC Branch 19 of Isulan City, Sultan Kudarat.

Abu Suffian, who is believed to be the husband of Jasmiyah offered stiff resistance to the lawful search and engaged the police team in a firefight. He was armed with a cal.45 pistol and a hand grenade. Jasmiyah, however, managed to escape.

The raiding team recovered a 60mm high-explosive mortar projectile, IED components, and a motorcycle.

Six minor children were rescued from the area of encounter while another woman found in the house was placed under custody.   

Police records identified Abu Suffian as a member of the Dawlah Islamiya who attended IED training in 2015 in Barangay Butril Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat under the late Mohammad Jaafar Maguid a.k.a. Tokboy Maguid of the Ansar al-Khilafah Philippines (AKP).

Abu Suffian took part in the siege of Butig and Marawi City, Lanao del Sur with the Maute Group, and is among the masterminds of the South Seas Mall bombing in Cotabato City on December 31, 2018, that killed two persons and wounded 30 others.

He escaped the military-police operation in Marawi City along with some widows of fallen jihadists and sought refuge in Maguindanao.

Lately, he is operating under Salahuddin Hassan and IED expert Abu Naim, under the direct supervision of Abu Turaife of the DI-BIFF for whom he was purchasing IED components and medical supplies.

SPEAKER VELASCO SUPPORTS CLIMATE EMERGENCY DECLARATION

House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco on Sunday said he fully supports the declaration of a climate emergency to encourage swift action to combat climate change and its impacts.

According to Velasco, the declaration would compel the government, including Congress, and other stakeholders to place climate change at the center of their policy and planning decisions.

"Declaring a climate emergency means recognizing that climate crisis is the fight of our lives and that there is an urgent need for a massive-scale mobilization to protect Filipinos and the environment from climate change and its devastating impacts," Velasco said.

The House leader noted that the Philippines has been facing climate emergency for decades now with millions of Filipinos left to suffer the catastrophic effects of extreme weather events made stronger and more deadly by climate change.

He said it is for this reason why the Philippines is considered as one of the most disaster-prone and climate-vulnerable countries in the world.

Velasco said the massive devastation caused by recent tropical cyclones—including Supertyphoon Rolly and Typhoon Ulysses which claimed 73 lives and caused the worst flooding in Metro Manila and Cagayan Valley in years—has made it imperative for the country to pursue stronger climate-adaptive and -resilient measures.

"There will be more typhoons that will come our way, and we have to become better at preparations and in handling situations that call for sound judgment to prevent devastating death tolls and economic costs of future calamities," Velasco said.

The House of Representatives recently unanimously adopted a resolution endorsed by the Committee on Climate Change declaring a climate and environmental emergency.

House Resolution (HR) 1377 also sought to mobilize government agencies and instrumentalities, together with local government units, to effectively implement environmental, climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.

Also, the chamber's Committee on Disaster Resilience has adopted HR 535 expressing the sense of the legislative body that there is a disaster climate emergency requiring a "whole-of-government, whole-of-society and whole-of-nation policy response to anticipate, halt, reduce, reverse, address and adopt to its impacts, consequences and causes."

Velasco said the declaration of a climate emergency would amplify the country's demand for climate justice from developed nations and help achieve its goals under the landmark Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

The Paris Agreement calls all signatory countries to submit stronger climate targets, known as Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs, every five years. The NDCs state what each country will do at a national level to reduce emissions, enhance their resilience to climate change threats, and help finance climate action.

So far, over three quarters of the world's countries have formally committed to strengthen their NDCs by the year-end. However, only 17 countries have actually submitted their NDCs to the United Nations and only 13 of those NDCs contained improved climate targets. The Philippines is currently working to submit a revised NDC.

At the recently concluded virtual conference of lawmakers from 48-member-nation Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF), Velasco said the country's NDC will show "the world our resolve to pursue low carbon development, as well as the support we need from developed countries in terms of climate finance, capacity building and technology transfer in the context of climate justice and in accordance with the Paris Agreement."

Velasco, along with Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III, Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda and House Committee on Climate Change Chair Edgar Chatto, represented the Philippines in the CVF conference.

During the forum, the Speaker said there is a need for the country to set enabling policies that will accelerate its transition to low carbon and climate-resilient economies notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We need to address gaps in climate action and the implementation of our climate change laws and policies," Velasco said.

He also emphasized the need for other nations to support the Philippines in its fight against climate change.

"We are your people, our local emergencies are your global emergencies," Velasco told forum attendees. "The increasingly violent typhoons, hurricanes and floods caused by climate change are becoming the new normal all over the world and the Philippines has been unfortunate receiving end of the worst of them." #18thCongress #PartnersForChange

READ: Pres. Duterte's Message on the 157th Birth Anniversary of Gat Andres Bonifacio

I am one with the entire Filipino nation in commemorating the 157th Birth Anniversary of Andres Bonifacio.

Today, we honor Bonifacio's legacy of sparking the fires of a revolution that awakened our national consciousness and served as the foundation of this Republic.

His love of country which aroused our ancestors to fight for our freedom and secure our rightful place in the community of nations is very vital now, more than ever, as we overcome the challenges of COVID -19 pandemic.

As we remember his life and deeds, may the values he fought for, inspire us all to become worthy heirs of the just, progressive, and inclusive society that he envisioned more than a century ago.

Fueled by Bonifacio's extraordinary courage and determination, let us surmount the many challenges ahead and secure a much better and brighter future for every Filipino.

Mabuhay si Gat Andres Bonifacio at ang ating inang Bayan!

A success driven by envy, pride and revenge makes someone sadly and unpeacefully victorious in the end. Victory can be attained anytime at any level of pursuit. But what makes a person joyfully and peacefully victorious is when hard work, patience, humility and prayer have been his or her weapon against all evils of time. When we enjoy peace and joy even more  each day with our success, it is because God's will takes control of how we should live to become successful.

GOV. CATAMCO ASKS PRIOR NOTICE FROM NIA AHEAD OF WATER RELEASES TO SAVE LIVES, PROPERTIES
Press Release

KIDAPAWAN CITY - North Cotabato Gov. Nancy Catamco has called for proper coordination among LGUs  and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) relative to the schedule of releasing of water in the irrigations along the Pulangi River and other major water tributaries traversing Bukidnon - North Cotabato water highways.

Her request was unanomously  approved by the Mindanao River Basin Project Management Council as it  recoginized the concern of the governor to give warning and ample time for LGUs to evacuate their people and work for  any mitigating measures during flash floods.

What happened in Luzon during on onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses and the dam releasing of water were lessons learned, Catamco said.

The Governor hosted the 4th Management Council Meeting today, with MINDA Chairman Emmanuel Piñol leading the Secretariate and retired Cardinal Orlando B. Quevedo, OMI, DD, as Council Chair.

In her opening statement , Catamco said that the occasion  is very timely in view if the recurring fury of  rivers  and rampaging  waters that North Cotabato has experienced.

She also cited the recent flooding in Makilala and the areas in the 1st legislative districts that uprooted natural resources and damaged infrastructures, including houses.

"Here in the province, flooding of our major rivers is a constant  reality that created regular risks to our community and infrastructures," the  governor said.   

She also emphaszed the severity  of the situation that  "my people became seasonal victims of  rampaging flooding events."

The flood has also caused recurring  disturbances  to fertile  agricultural lands and communities  along Rio Grande de Mindanao, Pulangi River, Ambal-Simuay  River System, Ala River, Tamontaka river and other water tributaries in Mindanao.

Catamco believed that the Council has crucial roles in addressing the problem of flooding in Mindanao. "It is my hope that all environmental, social abd economic concerns that sorround  the problem of flooding will be treated in an integrated manner because in the final analysis, flooding is just the effect of a deeper and bigger problem."

She called for unity among government agencies, organization and the people , saying, a raging flood comes rushing with its destructive force will affect all Minadanaons regardless of territory, race , religion, political beliefs and social status.

"This is the harsh reality of river flooding. But on the flipside  of this harsh reality comes an opportunity for unity of all our good intentions  in government in effectively addressing this perennial problem of flooding and its root causes," Catamco said.

2 COPS NABBED FOR MURDER, EXTORTION
Press Release from Camp Crame

Police filed supplemental Murder charges against nine suspects for the November 17 ambush-slay of lawyer Eric Jay Magcamit in Narra, Palawan.

Among those indicted is Police Senior Master Sergeant Ariel Pareja who is now under restrictive custody of the Palawan Police Provincial Office.

Also named respondents in the charges filed on Wednesday before the Palawan Provincial Prosecutor's Office were: Jazer del Rosario, Marcelino Quioyo, and six other John Does.

In a report to PNP Chief, Police General Debold Sinas, MIMAROPA PNP Regional Director, Police Brigadier General Pascual Muñoz said Pareja has been moonlighting as a bodyguard for Quioyo who is involved in a court case over a land dispute where Magcamit is representing the other party.

Muñoz said administrative charges are also being prepared against Pareja based on his indictment in the murder case.

In other developments, a senior police sergeant was arrested by the PNP anti-corruption unit for charging P20,000.00 for the release of a car that was involved in an accident.

Police Chief Master Sergeant MENDY GUTIERREZ of Taguig Police Station 1 Vehicular Traffic Investigation Section was arrested by agents of the Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group and operatives of the Highway Patrol Group in an entrapment operation after he received P20,000.00 in exchange for the release of an impounded car that was involved in an accident.

Acting on the complaint of a foreigner who was involved in a car crash incident, HPG and IMEG operatives initiated the entrapment operation against Gutierrez.

The complainant said he was earlier forced to pay P500,000.00 to purportedly settle the medical expenses of the car crash victim.

Thereafter the complainant was again coerced to pay Php 20,000.00 for alleged traffic 'fines' and penalties incidental to the said incident. (PNP-PIO)

Thank you Heavenly Father for allowing me to have  a share in a work of divine importance - that of being able to administer justice among men only that mine is based on man's laws. This way I see how human frailties and failures develop and get to avoid them in my personal life. This way I am exposed to the tragedy of disobedience and learn that I need to muster much discipline and self control to prevent the same fate. Thank you for providing me with enough mental strength to understand the complications and intricacies of the law and with enough spiritual enlightenment and wisdom to discern the truth. Thank you for giving me the moral fiber and fortitude to implement the law as it should be. And thank you for stirring in me enough compassion, sympathy and understanding as I temper justice with mercy according to how You do it. Much gratitude and love I give thee Heavenly Father.

5ID supports DepEd’s recall of modules with false portrayal of soldiers

As a response to the ill-prepared Araling Panlipunan modules in Baguio City, which contains false portrayal of soldiers, the Department of Education in Cordillera Region has issued a strong statement condemning the materials.

Carolyn Verano, School Division Superintendent of Baguio City stated that they already recalled the materials and investigating the circumstances behind the distribution of the learning materials. She mentioned that learning modules do not conform to the social content standards prescribed by the institution. Said materials show cartoons of soldiers drinking, assaulting residents, and other ill activities.

AFP through spokesperson, MGEN EDGARD AREVALO, lauds DepED’s move to recall the modules and supports the institution’s investigation with the aim to identify and prosecute those responsible for the act.

The 5ID, which covers the Baguio City area, also expresses support for the DepED’s move to recall and subsequent investigation on the issue. It stands by the fact that misrepresentation of the soldiers in the students learning materials should not be tolerated. The Army maintains that soldiers are complying with the highest degree of competence, dignity and honor.

This also shows that left-leaning individuals supporting the terrorist group, CPP-NPA-NDF have infiltrated some of the legitimate organizations in the country.

The Army assured that they will not be shaken and will continue serving the people and securing the land.

Ingeniero himself. About 20 Japanese soldiers were liquidated.

The following day, the battalions assaulted upon the Japanese garrison at the Trade School (now Bohol Island State University, BISU; Bohol High School was also a Japanese garrison) led by Lt. Vicente K. Nunag, Jr, it was a shock and awe assault. Many Japs were exterminated and scattered. The Japanese retaliated and bombarded the towns of Tagbilaran, Dauis, Baclayon, Alburquerque, Cortes, Maribojoc, Loon, Calape, Tubigon, Jagna, Garcia-Hernandez, Dimiao and Lila by Japanese cruiser that was already positioned in Bohol Strait and Bohol Sea. Many civilians died by mortar fired by the Japs.

On November 29, 1942, a crucial conference in Batuan, Bohol which led to the unification of the scattered guerrilla forces in Bohol under one command. Capt. Ismael P. Ingeniero was promoted to major and was chosen as the Commander of the unified Bohol Guerrilla Forces.

The Boholano soldiers tend to involved the use of a small attacking, mobile force against a large, unwieldy forces. Tactically, the Boholano guerrilla armies made the repetitive attacks far from the opponent's center and imposing a constant debilitating strain on the enemy.

If you’ve been working from home over the past few months, your morning routine has probably changed. Your work environment likely comes with a new set of distractions. Your home is also your office, as well as your gym, and you rarely leave it--which uncomfortably blurs the lines between work hours and non-work hours.

All of those factors can dramatically affect your mental health--even if, after three or four months, you think you’ve gotten the hang of working from home. Heidi Zak, co-founder and co-CEO of undergarment company ThirdLove, has been thinking a lot about that recently, both for herself and her 150 employees. In her latest Inc.com column, Zak describes the solution she and the team came up with: a company-wide “wellness week.”

The week started with a guest speaker’s virtual presentation on mental health in the workplace. There was also a session on handling stress, a virtual yoga class, a midweek day off, and more. “By taking it upon yourself as the leader to create the space for people to take care of themselves, connect with one another, and be more mindful about their own unique experiences, you are doing a lot more than just facilitating a week-long team-building event,” Zak writes.

GOB NC: “BUKAS ANG AKING TANGGAPAN PARA SA LAHAT”

Amas, Kidapawan (Nobyembre 23, 2020) - Bukas palad na tinanggap ni Governor Nancy A. Catamco ang mga Barangay Council na dumulog sa kanyang opisina ngayong araw.

Dumating ang buong Brgy Council ng Barangay Birada at Brgy Singao ng Kidapawan City, Brgy New Bunawan at Brgy Damawato ng Tulunan.

Batid sa kanila ang galak na personal nilang nakapanayam ang Gobernador. Ibinahagi nila ang mga kakulangan sa kanilang mga barangay. Lahat ito ay walang atubiling pinakinggan ni Gov. Catamco. “Hindi man natin agad-agad matutugunan itong inyong mga kahilingan. Ginagawa po namin lahat ang aming makakaya upang matulungan kayo.”, sabi nya.

Kabilang sa nga prayoridad na proyekto ng barangay na  hiniling nilang mapunduhan ay road concreting, street lights, livelihood at iba pang proyektong pam imprastraktura.

Agad-agad namang nabigyan ng Fiber Board para sa Basketball Rings ang Sangguniang Kabataan ng Barangay New Bunawan.

Sa huli ay nagbilin ang Goberbador, “Lagi pong handa ang aking opisina na tanggapin ang sino man. Wala pong kahit anong bahid ng politika ang aking tinitingnan. Basta po ay dapat mag serbisyo sa tao.”.

SEKTOR NG TRANSPORTASYON,
KOKONSULTAHIN SA PANUKALANG OPERASYON NG HYBRID TRAIN SA PROBINSYA

Amas, Kidapawan City (Nov 23, 2020)
Inaasahan ang serye ng mga konsultasyon at  pagpupulong kasama ang sektor ng transportasyon sa buong probinsya upang makabuo ng plano kaugnay sa panukalang operasyon ng Hybrid Electric Road Train (HERT) sa probinsya ng North Cotabato.

Ito ang napagdesisyunan  sa ginawang coordinative meeting ng HERT TASK FORCE ngayon araw kasama ang DOST, DPWH, Provincial Planning Development and Coordinating Office, Provincial Engineering at iba pang sektor.

Nilinaw ni Governor Nancy Catamco  na nais nyang tutukang mabuti ng HERT-TF ang mga teknikal na usapin tulad ng: financial and technical requirements, manpower and Management,  operation and maintenance, road requirement at ang pagtukoy sa epekto nito sa maliliit na sektor na transportasyon.
"Hindi natin papatayin ang sektor ng transportasyon, kailangan natin ng tamang plano," ayon sa Gobernador.

Sinabi rin nito na "Mahalaga na marinig natin ang pananaw ng sektor ng transportasyon at tiyakin na sila ay di naapakan sa pagsulong ng proyekto,."  Ipinanukala rin na magkaroon ng representante ang sektor ng transportasyon sa sa binuong Task Force.

Nilinaw ng Gobernador na hindi niya ipipilit ang operasyon ng  HERT sa Probinsya kung hindi pa ito kailangan o di nababagay sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon. Subalit, mas maigi na pag-aralan upang di mapag iwanan ng panahon at magkakaroon ng tamang panukala ang Probinsya  na maisumite sa DOST.

Natalakay rin at narinig ang panig ng DPWH sa pamagitan ni Engr Earl Bryan Monserate  hinggil sa rota ng HERT (train) at mga designated lane na daanan nito.

Dumalo rin sa pulong via zoom o internet interface ang Technical Engineer at Legal Officer ng DOST Central Office na nagpaliwanag sa kahalagahan ng hybrid train at ang mga pangangailangan nito tulad ng designated lane.

LAST WORDS OF STEVE JOBS BEFORE HE DIED:

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world.

In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success.

However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of God and of death drawing closer…

Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth…

Should be something that is more important:

Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days …

Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.

God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.

The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me.

What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.

That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on.

Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands.

What is the most expensive bed in the world? â€" “Sick bed” …

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost â€" “Life”.

When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading â€" “Book of Healthy Life”.

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends…

Treat yourself well. Cherish others.”

Press Release
DRUG-DEALING LANAO COUPLE BUSTED BY PDEG;
2 CLANDESTINE MARIJUANA FARMS DESTROYED IN BENGUET

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas took to task the PNP Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG), under a new leadership, to “lead the charge” in the anti-illegal drugs campaign of the PNP.

On November 21, 1849, Spanish Governor-General Narciso Claveria y Zaldua implemented the standardization of Filipino surnames. This was to improve census data and tax collection, as well as to monitor unauthorized migration throughout the Philippines. A catalog of surnames was prepared which contains prescribed Spanish surnames. There are also surnames derived after Philippine vernacular names of plants, animals, minerals, places, and character traits.

A particular cluster of surnames per alphabet was issued to the capital towns and provincial towns, an example of which was the case of Albay where surnames beginning with "A" was appropriated to the provincial capital, while letters "B" and "C" in the towns along the coast beyond Tabaco and Tiwi, letters "E" to "L" along the coast of Sorsogon (then still part of Albay), "M"  at the foothill of Iraya at Daraga, "S" to Polangui and Libon, and the rest of the alphabet in Catanduanes. There are also surnames beginning with "A" associated with Ilocos (e.g., Abaya, Abellera, Alcid) and "D" with Iloilo (e.g., Defensor, Drilon), respectively.

Some Chinese were allowed to retain their Chinese names, but these took on Romanized forms. Descendants of ancient noble families were allowed to retain their surnames, mostly the Kapampangans (e.g., Maniago, Dula, Soliman, Maliari, Manalastas, Capulong, Panganiban, Catacutan), Cebuanos (e.g., Tupas), and Tagalogs (e.g., Gatdula, Gatmaytan. Gatsalian, Gatbonton, Lacandola). Those who continued to use a surname for four generations prior to the Claveria Decree were allowed to keep it. A few exceptions to these was the Marcelo H. del Pilar's family who adopted the surname of Hilario del Pilar (even though they were descendants of the Gatmaitans, an ancient Bulacan noble clan). Jose Rizal's parents also adopted the surnames Rizal and Realonda, respectively.

It was also decreed that those who did not use or change surnames as prescribed in the catalog would be imprisoned. Documents that did not carry the registered surname would consider invalid. These encouraged most Filipinos to start using their new surnames as mandated by the Claveria Decree.
