SURIGAO CITY, May 26 (PIA) – More than 30 unidentified armed men raided the compound of former Placer Mayor Charry Mangacop on Wednesday, May 25 in Km. 8, Brgy. Bonifacio, Surigao City, said a report from PNP-Surigao City.
It was around 7 pm--while the former mayor together with his wife, Luzviminda Sala Mangacop and his driver, Reynaldo Jaculba Madera were eating dinner--that some 30 armed men entered their compound. Six of them were armed with baby armalite and other high powered firearms.
The men asked for the family memebers' cellular phones and ordered Mangacop to surrender his firearms.
“They were only asking my firearms, sinabihan ko nalang yung asawa ko na ibigay nalang yung mga baril (I told my spouse to just give the fireams to them),” Mangacop said in an interview.
Mangacop is still clueless as to the motive of the incident.
The suspects took from him two Nokia cellphones, one infant baby armalite, one unit commando baby armalite, one caliber 45 with four extra magazines, two full packed bandoliers, four hand set radios, four base radios and one round armalite magazine.
The former mayor clarified that those are all licensed firearms.
“The suspects then brought them outside their residence (still inside the compound) and lined them together with the ex-mayor’s other employees and then after a while, they took them outside the compound to a nearby house owned by a certain Peter and Linda, but the owners were not in their residence,” said a report.
They were then brought to the national highway and some minutes later, they heard a gunshot and saw that their construction vehicles inside their compound were incinerated. Damaged vehicles were as follows: one unit Isuzu dump truck worth P1.6M; one unit Fuzo canter mini dam worth P400,000; one unit Fuzo canter storage worth P700,000; one unit Hitachi backhoe worth P1.5M; and one unit Komatso bulldozer worth P1M.

PPRV, OPAPP and FSUU inform stakeholders on the GPH-CPP/NDF/NPA Peace Negotiations
by Jennifer P. Gaitano
BUTUAN CITY, May 25 (PIA) – The People Power Volunteers for Reform (PPRV) Caraga thru Regional Chair Concepcion Asis, Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) thru Mr. Enrico Dela Torre, and Ms. Jurgette Honculada, a member of the Government of the Philippines (GRP) Panel with Father Saturnino Urios University (FSUU) Policy Center Executive Director Atty. Josefe Sorera-Ty conducted recently the Peace Forum with participants from the different sectors in Caraga region.
In her message, Asis relayed that the forum is part of the Caraga-wide Peace Roadshow, which is also in response to the call for every Filipino to be concerned and be involved in any way possible for the successful conclusion of the peace talks between the GRP and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and between GRP and the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF).
Also, Honculada bared that insurgency problem has been with us for 42 years, negotiations have spanned 24 years and four presidencies. This is the 5th panel to conduct the negotiations which over 40 rounds have been computed since 1992.
“Peace is not the business of the government alone; military actions alone cannot resolve armed conflict; strategic role of the public is keeping the parties at the table; and need to bring the “public voice” to the negotiating table are some of the lessons learned from the past negotiations,” said Honculada.
When asked what are the prospects for the peace negotiations, Honculada emphasized that the environment is conducive to negotiations under the Aquino government, resulting in the resumptions of the talks after a 7-year impasse; their desired periodic ceasefires while talks are ongoing should lower the level of violence on the ground; and the side mechanism should insulate the negotiation from undue disruptions.
Meanwhile, Asis revealed the action plans for the peace talks. She bared that the long term plan is to give focus on the educational programs which should be strengthened especially in the grass roots while for the short term plan is to conduct peace forum on the different provinces and get the issues and concerns of the residents especially in the grass roots.
“A continuing program should be strengthened so that people would understand what are the programs available for them while we will continue to conduct peace forum on the different provinces to know the issues, concerns and sentiments of the residents so that these will be brought out to the GRP panel and discuss it further during the peace negotiations with the CPP-NPA-NDF panels,” Asis stressed.
It was also learned that the joint forces of the PPRV, FSUU and OPAPP will convene multi-sectors in Caraga region on the months of June and July 2011 to gather their concerns. (PIA-Caraga)

Feature: Breastfeeding alone for first six months of life: A sure way to good health
Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life has been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the healthiest way to feed newborns.
In the Philippines, while most infants (77.5%) were breastfed within the day after delivery, only 36 percent (%) of them received optimal breastfeeding up to six months, based on the results of the 7th National Nutrition Survey (NNS) of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST).
In addition, the survey also revealed that majority (89.4%) of the mothers were able to give colostrum, the first thick yellowish fluid from breastmilk during the first few days after delivery. Colostrum is known to contain antibodies that give immunity to the newborn.
While most Filipino mothers heed breastfeeding recommendations to protect babies against life-threatening illnesses aside from its economic value, the survey also found that most can only breastfeed up to a little over than two months, instead of six months exclusively due to inadequate milk for 34.5% and work outside the home for 25.5% of the mothers.
Experts say that giving solid foods to infants before six months is a big concern to the child’s nutritional status where the risk of food allergies and digestive disorder is high, but starting them later than six months could also lead to higher risk to deficiency particularly in iron when breastmilk is inadequate to meet the child’s additional nutritional requirements for growth and development.
Anemia due to iron deficiency is a persistent public health problem among Filipino infants less than one year at about 56 % based on the 7th NNS of the FNRI-DOST.
Iron is a very big concern among infants where growth and development are highest during the first year of life, particularly for brain development.
This is why the diet of lactating moms should be balanced or well-rounded with adequate intake of iron-rich foods to produce iron-rich breastmilk for the prevention of iron deficiency anemia.
The Daily Nutritional Guide Pyramid for Filipino Lactating Women and Nutritionally-Adequate One-Day Menu flyers for lactating women based on the 2002 Recommended Energy and Nutrient Intakes (RENI) developed by the FNRI-DOST depicts variety, moderation, and proportions for healthy eating.
Mothers will know if they’re feeding their children well by regularly monitoring their growth based on the WHO growth chart pattern, as stated in the second message of the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos developed by a team of experts led by the FNRI-DOST. If the child is within the growth standards, he/she is likely getting all the nutrients he/she needs.
Most of the semi-solid and solid foods, according to the 7th NNS, were regularly given at six to seven months of age, which is within the WHO recommendation to give the complementary foods starting six months.
The WHO’s advocacy on exclusive breastfeeding up to six months and giving complementary foods thereafter, is simple and straight forward. Human breastmilk is better for human babies than milk formula. Mothers should breastfeed their babies because it’s the best nourishment until the age of six months.
Semi-solid foods should be introduced after six months and should be as natural as possible, less processed, always fresh and with minimal condiments for optimum nutrition and health, as well as to promote good taste later in life.
“Mother still knows best” holds true until now. Mothers should use their maternal instincts and of course, common sense in feeding their young children.

Si Paderanga na noo’y panauhing pandangal ng CNEX na humarap sa media ay naglalayong makalikha ng pag-angat sa ekonomiya ng 7 hanggang 8 porsiyento bawat taon sa loob ng anim na taon. Naglalayon din itong mapalago ang ekonomiya sa pamamagitan ng pagbuo ng mass employment.

Ang pangunahing layunin ng PDP ay mabawasan ang kahirapan sa pamamagitan ng 16.6 porsyento sa 2015, mula 33.1 porsiyento sa 1991; lumikha ng isang milyong trabaho taon-taon; mabawasan ang kawalan ng trabaho sa pamamagitan ng 6.8-7.2 porsyento pero lalaki parin ang puwersa ng manggagawa sa pamamagitan ng 2.75 taun-taon; umaabot ang isang Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rate ng 7-8 porsiyento; pumapalit sa pamumuhunan sa bansa sa pamamagitan ng 22 porsiyento;. ipatupad at iba pang layunin ng MDG.
Dagdag ni Coloma na nabuo ang Philippine Development Plan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang tinanatawag na “stakeholders approach” kung saan binigyan ng pagkakataon ang bawat stakeholders na makapagbigay ng ideya o inputs at nang sa gayon ay matutugunan ng husto sa nasabing plano ang mga pangangailangan ng taumbayan.
