BUTUAN CITY – “The Armed Forces of the Philippines had been ordered to implement voluntary eviction to informal settlers who were given ample time to vacate their homes in Military Reservation area around Camp Bancasi,” thus said Lt Col Efraim Oropel, Camp Commander of the Camp Bancasi Military Reservation revealed during a press conference Tuesday (April 20).
Lt. Col. Oropel used the word “eviction” as voluntary vacate and apply for a new relocation site from the City Government of Butuan prompted by plans of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to pursue development in the military reservations throughout the country.
The plan could not be pursued without evicting the informal settlers surrounding the military reservation. “This is true to all military reservations throughout the country not just in Bancasi,” Lt. Col. Oropel said.
It was noted that the eviction is covered by AFP Special Order No. 26 dated December 16, 2006 and there was so many dialogues to intensify date extension.
The said order aims to clear military reservations throughout the country of all illegal settlers.
"The eviction is an order from the highest hierarchy of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in pursuant to Proclamation 113 dated 23 November 1936 undersigned by President Manuel L. Quezon,” Oropel added.
The military reservation in Bancasi was granted to the Philippine Army (PA) through Presidential Proclamation No. 113 dated November 23, 2009.
It was learned that the eviction of illegal settlers around Camp Bancasi is supposed to be done last January, 2009 but for humanitarian reasons, the eviction was postponed till May 31, but residents of the area through a Barangay resolution asked for another 3-month extension, which the AFP concede.
"As per order from the top, residents surrounding the Camp Bancasi are ordered to vacate the area. The order is supposed to be effective last January 2009 but because of humanitarian considerations, I personally extended the eviction till May 2009. Now, thru a Barangay resolution the residents asked for a three months extension till August 31, until it was granted. And another extention till this month of May 2010" Lt. Col. Oropel said.
"Gihangyo ang occupants nga sila na mismo ang moguba sa ilang mga balay aron walay resistance nga mahitabo, kay kung ang sundalo na molihok paspas tanan. I don't think there will be resistance during the eviction, since the illegal settlers has been order to voluntary demolished their homes," the officer explained.
Also, Lt. Col. Rene Cañete of the Philippine Army said, "If they go against the military, they can be charged with direct and indirect assault. And I don't think, the active military service men in the area will object in anyway because it is a direct order from the headquarters."
The AFP promise to help relocate illegal settlers in the area with the coordination of the City Government of Butuan.
Meanwhile, Engr. Lorden Vismanos also said that City Mayor Democrito Plaza II has already funded a relocation program for the illegal settlers. There are also relocation areas in Butuan where those who will be relocated need for application.
Most of the settlers are civilians and not connected to the military, children of former military officers. There are also some active military personnel and retirees, it was learned. (PIA-Caraga)

Regional Peace and Order Council 13 provides one-day various government services in Alegria, Surigao del Norte
Brgy. Budlingin, Alegria, Surigao del Norte – RPOC 13 held its "Hiniusang Paghatod Serbisyo sa mga Ahensya sa Gobyerno", as part of its convergence undertakings for the year 2010 to strengthen the Council’s goal in bringing the government closer to the people through the delivery of basic services to the community.
Alegria, Surigao del Norte, known as “the Rice Granary of the Province of Surigao del Norte", was chosen as beneficiary by the Council, for having depressed barangays in far-flung areas, where government services are inadequately felt.
In an interview with ABS-CBN, a resident of Barangay Budlingin said that it was the first time for the barangay to experience a one-stop shop activity wherein the national line agencies delivered services right at the doorsteps. The resident expressed gratitude to RPOC 13 for the activity, saying that it made the people in the place feel that the government is taking various measures to promote development especially in depressed areas with wide-spread insurgency concerns.
The services given during the outreach program included: deworming and artificial insemination of large ruminant animals by the Department of Agriculture; seedling distribution, distribution of land titles and orientation of ecological waste management by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources; insurance membership campaign, blood typing, bloodletting and blood pressure taking by the Philippine National Red Cross; feeding of 215 malnourished children by the Rotary Club of Downtown Butuan; medical services by the Department of Health; and sought-after services like the Dental Services and the “Operation Tuli” by the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Army.

BCWD celebrates 36th Anniversary successfully
Butuan City Water District (BCWD) successfully celebrated its 36th Anniversary on March 29 to April 8, 2010.
Normally, BCWD celebrates its anniversary from March 26 to April 1 in conjunction with the Water Consciousness Week. The annual celebration of the water consciousness is pursuant to Sanguniang Panglungsod Resolution No. 105, increasing the Butuanon’s awareness on the importance of water to their lives. This year, however, April 1 falls on a Holy Thursday, so the activities were moved to March 29-30 and April 5-8.
Anchored on the theme: “Looking Ahead… Working Hand in Hand Toward Excellence in Water Service,” this year’s commemoration of the district’s foundation on April 1, 1974 and the annual water consciousness week was simple. Making the event simple was meant to shy away from the high budgeted activities that usually conducted during BCWD anniversaries. That decision of the management to keep the celebration simple was in line with the austerity measures formulated by the Board of Directors and implemented by the Management since the last quarter of 2009. Such policy aims to reduce the agency’s expenses to cope with the financial difficulties it has been weathering since last year.
The theme was intentionally adopted because despite of BCWD’s unfavorable condition, the Board, Management and employees were optimistic to overcome the crisis soonest, and saw a bright future ahead. However, they were aware that they had to work hand in hand to give excellent water service. To simply put, no matter how much difficulties they had been going through, they must continuously satisfy the public.
Highlighting the celebrations were activities intended for the care of the environment. These included tree planting and turn-over of BCWD-funded sanitation facilities to Brgy. Anticala on April 5, environmental On-the-Spot Poster Making Contest for elementary and high school levels on April 7 at BCWD Roofdeck, and an environmental performance entitled “Healing the Earth” by actress and environmentalist Chin Chin Gutierrez on April 7 at the Urios Gym.
Also undertaken were community outreach programs, such as mass feeding and distribution of used clothing on March 30 in Iyao, Bloodletting on April 6 at BCWD Training Hall and visit to Por Cristo on April 8 in Buenavista, and pipe fitting olympics for BCWD pipe fitters/plumbers on April 8 at BCWD Pump Station No.1 in Alviola.
The event was officially closed at the end of the Awards Program and Employees’ Night on April 8 at the BCWD Roofdeck where punctuality, perfect attendance and service awards were conferred to deserving employees. (BCWD/PIA-Caraga)
