Butuan mayor delivers SOCA; compares his governance to the journey of the Balangay boat
by Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, August 2 (PIA) – City Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. on Monday delivered his second State of the City Address (SOCA) before a jam-packed crowd at the Almont Hotel’s Inland Resort, this city.
Speaking before a crowd estimate of 2,000 coming from different sectors of society, the city’s chief executive gave importance on the value of sailing towards a common direction.
“We can conquer the rough seas and reach our intended destination if we are all determined, united, self-sacrificing, courageous and methodical,” Amante said comparing his administration’s destination to the journey of the Balangay boat.
Mayor Amante further said he has chosen the Balangay as the symbol of his governance, the same Balangay which has now become the nation’s vessel for change, connecting the Philippine Archipelago, in its vast maritime superhighway for progress and prosperity as far as the waters of Vietnam.
The city’s chief executive also pointed out that like the voyage of the Balangay, “we will be sailing through rough seas ahead, and it is expected that political indifference, personal conflicts, man’s innate resistance to change, corruption and the evils that men do, will continue in a while.”
Furthermore, the official assured the Butuanons that the state of his governance is very strong and continues to make it much stronger as the journey of his administration goes along.
“Just as the captain of the ship has to ensure that the boat is in top condition, that the crewmen are well-prepared for their tasks and the destinations are clearly charted out, I made many methodical steps in my governance,” Amante said.
The second report to the city or SOCA of Mayor Amante is held a day before the celebration of the 61st charter day celebration of this city which is celebrated today, August 2 and was proclaimed special non-working holiday by MalacaΓ±ang Palace by virtue of Proclamation No. 197, signed by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Jr., by the authority of President Benigno S. Aquino III on July 4, 2011. (PIA-Caraga)
Butuan mayor underscores creation of 4 governance clusters in his report to the city
by Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, August 2 (PIA) – “To ensure of an orderly and smooth system of implementation, we issued Executive Order creating the four governance clusters composed of Development Administration Cluster, Economic Cluster, Social Services Cluster, and Infrastructure Cluster,” said Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. as he underscored the creation of the clusters during his State of the City Address (SOCA) on Monday in one of the local convention centers here.
According to Amante, the aim of establishing these clusters is to ensure sound fiscal management, transparent and accurate gover-nance, and effective performance management, in support to the mandate of President Benigno S. Aquino III towards a straight and narrow path (tungo sa daang matuwid).
In terms of Development Administration Cluster, Amante said is he has been populist and imprudent, he could have fallen prey to do quick fixing, build concrete roads and buildings left and right, and then eventually succumb to repeating the same grave and scandalous mistakes of the past.
“Gipalabi nako nga bisan dugay ug hinay gamay ang atong pag-uswag, apan sigurado ug klaro nga dili madehado ang publiko” (It is my concern that although development and progress we are experiencing right now is not that fast, but I make sure that everything will be put in place, clear, and above all, for the interest of the public), Amante said.
Amante further said, as mandated by the Aquino administration, the city government adheres to implement accurate system for a transparent and reputable governance that is beneficial and visible to all.
With this, Amante calls the people of Butuan to sail with him together with his officials for a more progressive and transparent governance, coupled with moral standards and integrity. (PIA-Caraga)

Feature: Lady COP: No difference between male and female even in war
by David M. Suyao
On the first burst of gunfire. I was already on my feet even when I only got an hour of sleep as I lay down to bed around 3:00 in the morning of July 30, working with my men for the inquest of a detainee we have apprehended earlier that night.
I know something is wrong hearing gunfires in a very close distance. I picked up my baby girl, secured her under the bed from the crib, picked up my M16 rifle and cal. .40 service pistol, and position myself for battle. Continues gunfire followed, and as I peep outside, I saw my police companions positioned in piles of old tires surrounding our station, firing against the perpetrators. I looked the other direction, and saw other policemen securing themselves in barricades we made, fighting their best to defend our position. I knew then that we were surrounded by the enemies as I observed the incoming rapid firing from them.
I fired my rifle to any visible position of the enemy, while our augmentation forces from Police Public Safety Company (PPSC) under the command of P/Insp. Alvin Bolotano and P/Insp. Roland Orcullo who were at that time in full battle gear ready to conduct early morning checkpoint, also position themselves, firing against the enemies. I know many of the enemies were hit, as their firing became minimal while gaining distance as they slowly withdraw.”
This is the opening statement of P/Insp. Charity Galvez, chief of police of Trento Police Station, Trento, Agusan del Sur, after her face-to-face encounter with the Communist Party of the Philippines/ New People’s Army/ National Democratic Front (CNN) on July 30, 2010, that lasted for about an hour.
P/Insp. Galvez said, they scour the area an hour later finding plenty of blood scattered on the grasses and soil where the enemies positioned. They even found particles of scattered human brain on leaves of grasses, while footprints of the enemies are all around.
According to P/Insp. Galvez, it was around 5:00 in the morning when the first burst of fire from the enemies was poured upon them at the gate of the station and the municipal hall, 30 minutes after her organic men returned from Bunawan town where they e-mailed the documents they prepared for the inquest of a detainee apprehended earlier that evening.
“There is no formal report I received that the CNN will attack Trento. The truth is, on July 28, the group director of the PSCC visited us here in Trento for a routine check-up of personnel. I requested for additional personnel and he promised me to send two teams of PPSC after he consulted our Provincial Director, P/SSupt. Jerome Baxinela.
The following day, July 29, the first team under P/Insp. Roland Orcullo arrived, in time when a shooting incident earlier that day happened in Barangay Sta. Maria. So I requested P/Insp. Orcullo to proceed to the area and conduct clearing and investigation. The team apprehended the killer suspect, and disarmed him with his .38 Cal. revolver and a knife. When I interviewed the suspect, his answers were unstable, and as my inquiries about his personality from people he mentioned goes along, I learned he that he is a member of the sparrow unit of the NPA, so he we detained him and we prepared the inquest papers for his transfer.
We finished the inquest documents around 12:00 midnight, but since our e-mail connection is out of order, my men proceeded to Bunawan to e-mail the documents. The two PPSC augmentation teams who also conducted checkpoints to stop criminality in the whole municipality also arrived around 1:30 in the morning, take some sleep and wake up again at 4:30 in the morning, (in time when my men who went to Bunawan to e-mail the inquest documents arrived) prepared themselves in full battle gear ready to conduct early morning checkpoints. Then the CNN attack happened. That is why, I believe we are really blessed that day,” P/Insp. Galvez said.
P/Insp. Galvez was first assigned as Children and Women’s Desk Officer at the Provincial Police Office in Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur. As member of the technical working group of the Country Program for Children, P/Insp. Galvez have contributed much in the reduction of violence against women and children thru her efforts in educating the parents, barangay officials and other government officials on the rights of children and women.
Being a dedicated policewoman, P/Insp. Galvez rose from the rank, until she became chief of police in the municipality of Trento, where she fought her best to defend their post. (PIA-Agusan del Sur)
