COMELEC hits first base: May 2010 elections Resolutions
By David M. Suyao
The Commission on Election (COMELEC) hits the first salvo of their information and education campaign by discussing various resolutions with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Philippine Army during the joint conference held yesterday at the D.O. Plaza Training Center in Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur.
According to COMELEC Caraga Regional Director Francisco Pobe, the conduct of a briefing and review of COMELEC’s resolutions is one of the most important initial moves in order to impose earliest possible time the rulings covering the election period in order to attain our dream of a clean, honest, orderly, meaningful and peaceful elections.
“Many said the implementation of Resolution No. 14 or the rules and regulations carrying firearms and any deadly weapons or gun ban during election period from January 10 to June 9 this year is stricter compared to past elections because of elections –related violence. That is not true! Every election period, we are strictly implementing this law, but sad to note, they are violated. That is the reason why we called this joint conference in order for us to have a teamwork so that we can religiously implement the law to its fullest,” Atty. Francisco Pobe said.
During the whole session of the conference, the PNP and COMELEC took turns in presenting the various resolutions and the most salient points, while giving clear explanations on issues that arises during the presentation.
The PNP in their part focused more on Resolution No. 8729, or the establishment of checkpoints. It was learned that only one COMELEC checkpoint that must be established in every municipalities and cities and must be mobile in order to surprise the violators. Additional checkpoints maybe established in cases where robbery and other violent incidents happened in nearby areas but must be coordinated with the COMELEC. The rest, Resolution Nos. 8714, or the gun ban, 8728 or the preliminary investigation and filing of cases, 8730 or the liquor ban, 8731 or the supervision and control by the COMELEC and other proper authorities were clearly discussed by Dir. Pobe of COMELEC.
“I want to emphasize here that starting January 10 until June 9, 2010, all elections-related operations by the army in the entire country are under the control and supervision of COMELEC. We are therefore enjoining all our partners in the government and in the private sector to do the same in order that we can feel the meaning of this 2010 elections. If we are sincerely looking forward for a change, this is the right time. Everything in the law is very very easy for those who follow it, but we will make it sure it will be rough for those who will violate the law,” Col. Emeliano Gupana, Commanding Officer of the 401st Infantry Brigade said.
In his parting words, P/SSupt. Antonio Paguirigan said the cooperation of the PNP, the army and COMELEC this time is very strong. “We have already assigned our special police officer as point person in every municipality to become the partner and point person of the team in the local level. In this manner, full cooperation is expected and effective,” P/SSupt. Paguirigan said.
The joint conference was also attended by the incumbent mayors and mayoral candidates from the 13 municipalities and the City of Bayugan, the media and other stakeholders. (PIA-Agusan del Sur)

Two died while 17 barangays with some 5,549 families or 26,234 persons were reported affected by floods due to continues downpour of rains for more than a week now.
Lovely Lamery Y Agunos, 9, and Jalyn Encarnacion Y Noja, 11 years old, both from Barangay Tagapua, San Francisco, Agusan del Sur died by drowning when the raft they were riding was swift away by a strong current of floodwaters on January 17 at around 11:00 in the morning. Their dead bodies were recovered two hours after by the responding residents of Barfangay Tagapua.
The Provincial |Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC), thru the Office of the Provincial Disaster Management Center (PDMC) headed by Roberto Natividad has been calling all municipalities to report immediately to the center any progress on the situation caused by continued heavy and moderate rainfall but as of 1:00 in the afternoon yesterday, only San Francisco and Prosperidad have submitted their reports.
According to Natividad, his office had already issued warning to LOCAL Disaster Coordinating Councils (LDCCs) to be vigilant and advice their constituents living in identified flood prone areas to go to safer areas or designated evacuation centers to safety.
“For almost a week now, our group, the PDCC/PDMC personnel SARAS Team are on standby and ready to respond to any call. We have also adviced the LDCCs to conduct assessment of damages in their respective AOR and submit report to the PDCC as soonh as possible. We have also dispatched our Search and Rescue Team with rubber boats and rescue vehicles, and the PSWD personnel to validate, document and conduct feeding and relief operations.” Natividad said.

School kids in Caraga get help from Spain
For Richard Lauro, Jr., 11, the big waves that struck their house at Rojales, Carmen, Agusan del Norte last November was just to test him and the family how determined they are in the midst of difficulties.
At least seven houses, all their neighbors; were destroyed during the storm surge in their village. His father didn’t go fishing the next tree days because he has to repair damaged portion of their house, greatly affecting family needs.
“I did not skip classes despite what happened,” Richard said in local dialect. “My mother told me to go to school, and upon going home to pass by our neighbor’s store and get credit for a 5- kilo rice we need while father can’t go fishing yet,” he added.
Like Richard, school children studying at Rojales Elementary School has similar predicament. Rojales is a fishing village and most of the families rely mainly on the sea for a living while others are engaged in backyard farming.
“When its high tide, a portion of the school campus is submerged under seawater,” says Eduarda Tejam, the school principal. “The parents together with the teachers conducted volunteer work to fix the problem,” she added.
Because of its difficult condition, Rojales Elementary School was chosen to become one of the beneficiaries of a Spanish-funded education project in Agusan del Norte. Today, a 3-classroom school building has rises in the once-submerged portion of the school.
“We are happy because we already have a new building. We occupied the first room while the other sections occupied the other two,” Richard gladly said. Fully furnished with chairs, tables and blackboards, the newly-constructed school building greatly reduced congestion in classrooms, it was learned from the principal.
“Before, teachers used to handle 70 students per class, now with the new classrooms; it was reduced to at least 45 to 50 students per class,” Mrs. Tejam disclosed. Access to quality basic education for school kids in the village of Rojales has now been strengthened with the educational assistance provided.
Aside from Rojales in Carmen, six other towns in Agusan del Norte have received needed help. These are the municipalities of Nasipit, R.T. Romualdez, Magallanes, Tubay, Buenavista and the City of Cabadbaran.
Funded by the Spanish aid agency Agencia EspaΓ±ola de Cooperacion Internacional pare el Desarollo (AECID), the education project in Agusan del Norte, Caraga Region is being implemented by Fundacion Humanismo Y Democracia (H+D) and Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) in partnership with the parents, teachers association (PTA) and local government unit in the place where they are being implemented.
