Regional Executive Director Edilberto S. Buiser has suspended the operation of three CBFM areas in Barangay Padi-ay, Sibagat, Agusan del Sur today as a condition for the release of the remaining DENR personnel being held by the kidnappers somewhere in a remote village of Padi-ay in Sibagat, Agusan del Sur.
The compromise deal was arrived at after a meeting of the Crisis Management Committee presided over by RED Buiser with the multi-sectoral group to discuss the demands of the kidnapper.
The suspended CBFM are the Iligan Tribal Forest Development (ITRIFADC), with an area of 2,639.00 hectares, the Hampapalay Farmers Multi Purpose Cooperative ( HFMPC) in brangay Sta.Cruz with an area of 2,162 hectares and the Bagani Tribal Returness Development Cooperative ( BTRCDC) wih an area of 1,204.58 hectares in Barangay Bantolinao, all Sibagat, Agusan del Sur.
The suspended CBFM were contained in the 6-point demands of the kidnappers of the DENR personnel who are being kept in an isolated place in Barangay Kolambogan, Sibagat, Agusan del Sur.
The Crisis Management Committee and the multi-sectoral group have arrived with this decision as part of the bargain to secure the release of the rest of the DENR personnel who are still being held at the kidnapper’s lair.
A group was sent to the area to bring the medicines and fresh clothes being requested by the hostages.
The group will also bring the position of the DENR Crisis Management Committee that the kidnapers should consider as priority of the release of the other hostages who are injured and need immediate medical attention as possible.
The Committee is at present holding another meeting with Mayor Democrito Plaza II and Congressman Jose Aquino II at the City Mayor’s Office in Butuan City as of press time. (DENR-13/PIA-Caraga)

Standing for poverty or against it?
By Andre B. Atega, PARO-DAR13
A mere ritual, where everyone stands and declare to fight poverty in words, cannot eliminate poverty. Just as religious ceremonies cannot save any soul, or military parades cannot win any war or peace. But ceremonies, to fill some awkward gaps in human relations and practices, have become a natural part of man. Almost as natural as poverty that maybe if we can eliminate our ceremonies we can probably eliminate poverty.
Someone says that “the world has enough for everybody’s needs but it has not enough for anybody’s greed”. When freedom is understood to mean “GET WHAT YOU CAN!” rather than “SHARE WHAT YOU CAN!” the few who are strong will take the resources of the world and deprived the many who are weak with even the most basic need.
When we seek to destroy the beautiful because we are consumed by our own envy ; when we scheme to destroy the good because our hearts are filled with hate and malice ; when our ambition is bigger that our qualification that we undermined performance and production ; when we focus on defects or dwell in the past that we become un-productive critics obsessed with the negative and cannot see graces or positive asset ; when we want the world to turn according to our selfish wants and not accept humbly that events happen in some mysterious ways ; that is poverty in the heart.
For when we will succeed in destroying the good , the beautiful and the competent out of SSS ( suya , selos , sina ) nothing will be left but ugliness , mediocrity and evil men and women with pretensions for goodness and holiness but actually conspire and criticize secretly for self interests , personal ambition , favoritism , simple ill-will or malice and injustice.
That is where we are today. Injustice and poverty prevail because the world we live in, or the workplace we complain about, is nothing but the reflection and actualization of our own ill-feelings.
A man rich with ideas can become a millionaire with a mere P 10,000.00. That was how the borloloy or taring-taring business started. A man with no ideas even after winning millions from LOTTO can go back poor and miserable in a matter of time.
Perhaps, the greatest sin is ignorance. When we make more babies than we can afford; when we borrow money beyond our means; and when we buy what we don’t need, that is poverty in the mind.
When pride is bigger than the brain, mindless faith stronger than rational thinking, when we consumed the present and spend the future, when people are problem-makers than problem-solvers, that’s poverty in the mind.
When lands are idle and filled with worthless grasses than valuable crops and trees and government refuse to adopt a zero-idle-land policy because it is costly ; when a development agency pays workers below poverty salary level ; when we eat more than we earn ; when we talk more than we work , that is poverty in the mind.
KURIPOT is not bad. Only those who have no strength to save or who wants a free ride hate it. ARTEHON is not bad. In business, it means “world class” or the beginning of quality service and good packaging. “NEGOSYANTE RA KAAYO” is an expression of a poor mind . “TAGAW” is good. It means the person is not afraid to learn or exposed his ignorance. “HAMBUGERO” is not bad. He is just the person who does not gamble and drink but busy in productive solitude. “To be great is to be misunderstood”, said Ralph Waldo Emerson. “To be honest is to be accused of crimes”, says Andre B. Atega.
There are two hi-ways that your brain can take you: Up or Down. What ideas and influences provide you with wings to fly? What ideas and bad influences bring you down? Performance, courtesy and respect will take you high. Counter – productiveness, sabotage and intrigues can bring you down. Water has no choice but to follow the flow of gravity. Man can pick from many ideas, choose company, or the road only the few will travel. Whatever we choose will make us rich or poor.
In our country , no matter what type of agrarian reform we adopt not all who needs land can have a piece because we are a multitude of 90 million people in a small archipelagic 30 million hectares of lands. There is simply not enough for everybody. So it is not bad policy to send people abroad and bring dollars home. Europeans, Chinese, Americans and Japanese are rich because they do business in poor countries, exploit their wealth and play with their markets to bring money to their own people.
We are poor because our leaders steal money from our people and spend money abroad; we are poor because we steal money from our children and wives or husbands and spend money with friends; we are poor because we consumed our resources today and leave nothing for the future. The rich get money from outside and bring it home. The poor get money from home and spend it outside.
When leaders secure political funds from oil companies or from media taipans and business moguls, our people will be poor because our leaders will adopt laws and policies to protect the businesses of taipans and moguls. Are we not wondering why we are paying separately for power generation; paying separately for power transmission; paying separately for power distribution; and paying separately for power consumption?
Are we not wondering why the oil prices are high even when global prices are low? Why development agencies pay below poverty-level salaries? Why GSIS is not transparent to its members? Why the countryside is poor by centralized taxation? Why sacrifice Mindanao budget for Metro Manila? Why when the population is getting bigger and territories and resources are getting smaller still our leaders refuse to adopt real population growth control policy? Why the interests of the country are sacrifice for political ambition?
All these are happening not because of economics but more of politics.
Absolute and mathematical equality is not natural. The strong will always be richer than the weak. The wise richer than the fools. Superpowers richer than Third World. We are not born equal. Some have defects, a few are beautiful, geniuses, or have inheritance; and many are ordinary. Only our rights are equal but the exercise of rights and the opportunities are limited and determined by capability and discipline, guts and talents, resources and luck.
Powerful nations need the wealth and market of poor countries to maintain their political and economic supremacy. The inequality has to be maintained to keep they are. But we cannot hate them for what they are. We cannot expect them to renounce their wealth and power so that we can rise to their level or bring themselves down so that we will meet as equal at some middle ground.
The rich are where they are because of attitude; because they are united as a people; because they produce goods and services that we like to buy; because they are capable and willing to pollute the world for business and destroy nations for control.
So what is the meaning in all this standing as one against poverty when the powerful stands only for themselves and provides us only with loans, relief goods, and work while they own the technology, capital and the world?
Because we are a poor nation we stand against ourselves. We need to stand against ourselves for us to change. So that we will become KURIPOT in the management sense. So that we will become ARTEHON in a market sense. So that we will be TAGAW or not afraid to learn. So that we will not allow envy, hatred and malice to prevail our sense of fairness, our sense of justice, our sense to be productive. In this way, we will promote the competent, protect the good, crown the beautiful.
We will not fight for equality by war or insurrection or banditry. We will not solve our poverty by making the rich poor. We will fight poverty with creativity, inventiveness and productivity: having artists with real talents, workers who are technically skilled; managers who are competent. If we can make products that the world will buy, we will be able to compete.
Then we will have pride as a people, we will become proud Filipinos.
TAAS NOO FILIPINO!

Re-balance growth through decent work, ITUCP-AP urges the ADB
23 October 2009, ADB -- Philippine ITUC-AP affiliates, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) and Federation of Free Workers (FFW) handed over the WDDW Call to Action for Decent Work, Decent Life and the ITUC- Statement “Re-balancing Growth through Decent Work” to the Asian Development Bank represented by Mr. Bart Γdes, Director on Poverty Reduction, Gender, and Social Development Division, Regional and Sustainable Development Department.
The ITUC and ITUC-AP delegates were TUCP Vice President Alejandro C. Villaviza, and FFW President Allan MontaΓ±o, TUCP Women Director Florencia Cabatingan and Education and Youth Director Rafael Mapalo.
CALL TO ACTION
Atty. Villaviza explained the objectives of the WDDW Campaign and highlighted the Call to Action’s eight key demands --protection of fundamental labor rights; changing unfair trade rules and reforming the World Bank and the IMF; improving the situation of women and men working in the informal economy; providing social protection to the majority of the world’s population who live without it; increasing development assistance; and ratifying and implementing the UN and ILO conventions around the protection of migrant workers and their families.
He noted that the TUCP and unions all over the world have done many activities highlighting the Call to Action to rally support and encourage stakeholders, especially decision-makers to put into operation the eight key demands.
RE-BALANCING GROWTH THROUGH DECENT WORK
Atty. MontaΓ±o acknowledged that the Asian Development Bank has been an important institution which supports regional and national economic development. Quoting from the ITUC-AP Statement, he conveyed that the “ITUC-AP supports the governments' massive stimulus programmes and strong assistance by the ADB to developing countries. The ITUC-AP strongly hopes that the region will recover from the crisis soon, and such a process should be guided by a new development principle, "Rebalancing Growth through Decent Work."
The ADB and trade unions share broad areas of common concern -- economic development, poverty eradication, establishment of social infra-structures, education, gender equality, employment promotion, skill development, building a strong financial architecture in the region, among other things, where trade unions can work together with the ADB in the region and nationally.
He reiterated that “ITUC-AP is pleased to note that the ADB has been recently paying more attention to social dimension of its operation as clearly indicated by Handbook on Core Labour Standards, Primer on Interacting with Workers' Organisation, Social Protection Index and other policy documents.”
On the World Day for Decent Work, he conveyed ITUC-AP’s General Secretary Noriyuki Suzuki’s steadfast hope that the ADB will further include Decent Work concept in its operations in the region and country consultations.
Director Cabatingan pushed that gender equality be given more serious consideration. She said: “Gender equality is the core of decent work.”
ADB RESPONSE
Director Γdes thanked the ITUC-AP for sharing the Statement on WDDW titled “Re-balancing Growth through Decent Work”. He noted: “Your call for rebalancing growth through decent work comes at a time when the region has been coping with the negative social impacts of the global economic slowdown, including the loss of millions of jobs.”
Furthermore, he reported that the regional outlook remains uncertain. In particular, a protracted global slowdown will delay the region’s full recovery. It is unlikely that the region can revert to its long-term growth potential without the support of a firm global rebound. In the longer term, the key challenge for developing Asia will be to enhance resilience to external shocks. It can do so through policies aimed at broadening the scope and structure of the region’s openness and strengthening national systems that support human development. Practical steps include fostering intra-regional trade, managing financial globalization, maximizing the benefits of labor mobility, health and social protection.
