Boba milk tea (as it is better known in LA and San Diego) also known as pearl milk tea or bubble tea originated from tea shops in Taiwan during the 1980s. It spread to other East Asian countries, then crossed the Pacific Ocean to United States, thence to Europe and the rest of Asia.

Two Taiwanese shops claim to be the creators of bubble tea: Chun Shui Tang teahouse in T a i c h u n g , T a i w a n , where L iu Han Chie experimented with cold milk tea by adding fruit, syrup, candied yams, and tapioca balls in the early 1980s and Hanlin Teahouse in Ta inan owned by Tu Tsong He Hanlin who made tea using traditional white fenyuan or tapioca which look like pearls, thus the so-called "pearl tea." Later, Hanlin changed the white fenyuan to the black version that is most seen today.

Wang’s Tea Fuzion ( W a n g b e i n g t h e Mandarin form of Uy, which is Hookien) offers a wide variety of boba teas including milk teas, fresh

By By Mike BañosMike BañosCAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – It’s interesting to note how the latest tea house in the city got its inspiration. While vacationing in the US West Coast cities of Los Angeles and San Diego recently, Tony and Marilou Uy noted the way people there were just going gaga over Boba Tea.

tea, tea latte, taglined as “a healthier alternative, fresh brewed tea with fresh milk”, fruit teas (choices of either fresh Black Ceylon or Green Jasmin brewed teas infused with refreshing fruit flavors like Blueberry, Wintermelon, Peach, Lychee, S t rawberry , Green Apple, Grapefruit and Passion Fruit), Yakult Jasmine Green Tea, and Ceylon or Jasmine tea topped with Rock Salt and Cheese Cream.

The i r Boba teas are essentially freshly brewed tea with non-da i ry c reamer and include Wang’s Milk Tea (the ‘house tea’ which is flavored black tea), classic Milk Tea and other popular flavors like Hazelnut, Wintermelon, Caramel, Almond, Taro, Honeydew, Strawberry, D a r k C h o c o l a t e , Chocolate and Mocha.

J u s t h o w f r e s h l y brewed are the teas at Wang’s? “We have to replace all brewed teas within six hours,” Tony confides, to maintain the body and flavor.

On top of that, are refreshing drinks over ice such as Pass ion Fruit Aloe, Honey Aloe, Passion Fruit Yakult and Grapfruit Yakult. Rock Salt and Cheese are also available in Dark Chocolate and Matcha with Red Beans.

Wang’s Tea Fuzion is open every day from 9AM to 9PM.

E-mail recruiting Pinoy nurses for Australia is a scam, POEAfor supposed employment in a hospital in Australia.

Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said the POEA re-ceived another recruitment e-mail, supposedly com-

ing from Sydney Adventist Hospital, this time charging a fee of PhP3,750.00 for a two-day “British English” training.

This is similar to the one

allegedly sent by Steven-son Memorial Hospital in Canada which offers “Visa Interview Coaching” for a fee of Php 3,888.00.

Karen Franchiti, human resource specialist of the real Stevenson Memorial Hospital wrote the POEA denying having any busi-ness relation with “Steven-son Consultancy” which is supposed to conduct the training in the Philippines.

Cacdac said the promises are similar: no placement fee, no processing fee, no salary deduction, no show money, no experience re-quired, free accommodation and food allowance.

“This is a simple cut and paste job and is probably sent by the same group of swindlers which uses

legitimate companies to lure victims”, Cacdac added.

Sydney Adventist Hos-pital, located in New South Wales, Australia, was in-formed of the scam and has since denied having a part of it.

An alert in Sydney Ad-ventist Hospital’s website said it has not issued ad-vertisements, emails and other notices encouraging nursing staff in the Philip-pines to submit applications for training for employment.

“The information about Sydney Adventist Hospital recruitment is not accurate and we have not organized

training courses and hospi-tal representatives will not be in the Philippines on July 21 and 22nd to employ people,” the hospital said in its warning.

Job applicants who have received such recruitment e-mails should forward the same to [email protected] for investigation by the POEA, Cacdac said.

Cacdac said nurses from Philippines and other coun-tries wishing to apply for employment as a nurse in Australia must be registered first with the Australian Health Practitioners Regis-tration Authority (AHPRA).

TODAY, the CAMODA Multi Purpose Cooperative will ink a Memorandum of Agreement with Pag-IBIG Fund for the activation of their member-ship, under the Cagayan de Oro Branch.

Pag-IBIG Fund Cagayan de Oro Branch’s Department Manager Juliano S. Banghal will sign the MOA with CAMODA MPC Chairman Raul P. Ganot, along with the officers from both the Fund and the transport cooperative.

The MOA signing will take place at the CAMODA Multi Purpose Cooperative Head-quarters located at Bontong, Camaman-an, Cagayan de

Camoda activatesmembership in Pag-ibig

Oro City.On the same day, an addi-

tional highlight to the occasion is the CAMODA MPC’s official turnover of payment covering the initial membership savings of the group to Pag-IBIG Fund. In turn, the CAMODA MPC will receive their first Pag-IBIG Fund Receipt, as proof of payment.

The CAMODA Multi Purpose Cooperative is composed of Multicab operators and drivers whose main route is from the areas of Cogon, Camaman-an and Indahag, Cagayan de Oro City.

As part of the Fund’s Knowl-edge Management campaign, a briefing was organized and given to the officers and mem-bers of CAMODA MPC last July 14, 2012.

Republic Act 9679 also known as the Home Develop-ment Mutual Fund Law requires all Filipino workers earning at least One Thousand Pesos (P1,000.00) monthly to actively save in Pag-IBIG Fund. The said law applies to all self-employed including the transport group and cooperative workers.

ENVIRONMENTAL pol-lution is contamination of air, water and land from man-made waste.

Pollution leads to deple-tion of the ozone layer, global warming and climate change.

Air pollution is the release of chemicals and particles into the atmo-sphere.

Water pollution in-cludes surface runoff , leakage into groundwater, liquid spills, wastewater discharge and littering.

If toxins are spilled on the ground or if an un-derground storage tank leaks, soil can become contaminated.

Well known contami-nants include herbicides and pesticides.

Toxic waste is waste material, often in chemical form, which pollutes the

CELL phones are almost as common as pocket change these days. It seems nearly everyone, including an increasing number of chil-dren, carries a cell phone wherever they go.

Cell phones are now so popular and conve-nient that they are s u r p a s s - i n g landlines as the pr imar y form of telecom-munication for many people.

Is Growing Cell-Phone Us e I n -creas-

i n g H e a l t h Risks?

In 2008, for the first time, Americans are ex-pected to spend more on cell phones than on land-lines, according to the U.S. Labor Department.

And we not only love our cell phones, we use them: Americans racked up more than a trillion

Cell phone may pose health riskscell-phone minutes in the first half of 2007 alone.

Yet, as cell-phone use continues to grow, so does concern about the possible health risks of prolonged exposure to cell-phone radiation.

Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer?

W i r e -l e s s

cel l

phones transmit signals via radio frequency (RF), the same kind of low-fre-quency radiation used in microwave ovens and AM/FM radios.

Scientists have known for years that large doses of high-frequency radia-

tion—the kind used in X-rays—causes cancer, but less is understood about the risks of low-frequency radiation.

Studies on the health risks of cell-phone use have produced mixed results, but scientists and medi-cal experts warn that

people should not assume no risk ex-

ists. Cell phones have

been widely available for only the past 10 years or so, but tumors may take twice that long to develop.

Because cell phones haven’t been around very long, scientists haven’t been

able to assess the effects of long-term cell-phone use, or to study the ef-fects of low-frequency

radiation on growing children. Most studies have

focused on people who have been using cell phones for three to five years, but some studies have indicated that using a cell phone an hour a day for 10 years or more can significantly increase the risk of developing a rare brain tumor. (From Larry West, former About.com Guide)

PRESIDENT Aquino has approved the increase of the Basic Minimum Pension of GSIS’s old-age and dis-ability pensioners to P5,000 effective January next year.

Aquino made the an-nouncement during his State of the Nation Address Monday.

GSIS President and General Manager Robert G. Vergara said that the increase would be more responsive to the needs of old age and disability pensioners particularly in light of the rising prices of basic commodities.

The pension fund chief explained that the GSIS will increase the monthly pen-sions as follows: GSIS will continue to apply to Old-age and Disability Pensioners, the regular 1.5% increase based on Board Resolution

GSIS pension up P5,000 effective January next year

“Increase are only for those receiving less

than P5,000 but not more than P8,000 monthly pension.’No. 229 dated December 8, 2009; and thereafter, all Old-age and Disability Pen-sioners still entitled to less than P5,000 will receive the new minimum monthly pension of P5,000 while those receiving over P5,000 but less than P8,000 will receive an adjustment of P200 every month.

He said that almost half of the pension fund’s Old-age and Disability Pension-ers will benefit from the new

pension increase. “Roughly, 57,000 pen-

sioners will enjoy the new minimum pension while another 50,000 will qualify for the P200 increment.”

Vergara pointed out that with the pension increase, the actuarial life of the Social Insurance Fund will only be reduced by approximately one year from 2046 to 2045.

Under Republic Act 8291, otherwise known as The GSIS Act of 1997, the GSIS Board of Trustees may recommend to the President of the Philippines the adjust-ment of the basic monthly pension in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the GSIS: Provided, however, that the basic monthly pension shall not be less than One Thousand and Three Hun-dred Pesos (Php1,300.00).

PATROL craft from Naval Forces West are on standby should the Chinese fish-ing fleet and its escorts intrude into Philippine maritime territory.

On Tuesday, China formally established the new city of Sansha on the island known as ‘Woody Island’ in the disputed territory of the South China Sea.

China appointed Xiao Jie as the island’s new city mayor. China planned to put up a military garrison in the island described by state news agency Xinhua as responsible for defense mobilization, disaster relief, and carrying out military mission.

Commodore Rustom Pena, Naval Forces West, said ships are now prepared to sail and warn the intruders should they approach too near the country’s territory.

He added that they have already spotted 20 Chinese fishing vessels but have no visual sightings on the fleet’s two escorting surveillance ships.

The said ships are reported near Pagasa Island, the largest geographical fixture claimed by the Philippines in the Spratlys Island Group, but have not penetrated the island’s 12 nautical mile coastal water territory.

This report is as of Wednesday morning. Pagasa is around 340 nautical miles away from Puerto

Princesa, Palawan. “If they breached our waters, we will sail out to inter-

cept and escort them out of our territory,” Pena stated. He added that Naval Forces West would do its utmost

to defend the country’s sovereignty. The South China Sea has become Asia’s biggest po-

tential military flashpoint as Beijing’s claim over the area has set it against Vietnam and the Philippines. WITH WIRE REPORTS

Caraga’s economic growth highest in the countryCARAGA’S economy posted the fastest growth among the country’s 17 re-gions with an accelerated rate of 9.6 percent in 2011 from 7.4 percent in 2010. The region’s impressive growth was fueled by the 9.7 percent expansion of its Service sector and the rebound of its Agricul-ture, Hunting, Forestry, and Fishing Sector to a growth of 3.4 percent in 2011 from a decline of 9.6 percent in 2010.

The top five fastest growing regions in 2011 also included Central

Visayas with a 7.9 percent growth, Central Luzon with 7.5 percent, Western Visayas with 5.5 percent, and, Cagayan Valley with 5.4 percent. On the other hand, the economy of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) declined by 1.0 percent in 2011 from a growth of 2.3 percent in 2010.

For the period 2010-2011, five regional econo-mies, out of the country’s 17 regions, posted accelerated growths. Cagayan Valley posted the biggest jump in growth with 6.5 percent-

age points as its economy bounced back from a decline of 1.1 percent in 2010 to a growth of 5.4 percent in 2011.

Other regions which experienced accelerated growths were: Caraga, 7.4 percent to 9.6 percent; SOCCSKSARGEN, 2.0 per-cent to 4.0 percent; Western Visayas, 3.7 percent to 5.5 percent; and, MIMAROPA, 1.1 percent to 2.5 percent. Meanwhile, the growth rate of CALABARZON’s econo-my took the biggest dive by 8.5 percentage points from 11.1 percent in 2010 to 2.6

percent in 2011.NCR continued to have

the largest share of the coun-try’s total output with a 35.7 percent share in 2011, slightly lower than the 35.8 percent posted in 2010 and 2009. CALABARZON fol-lowed with a share of 17.4 percent and Central Luzon with 9.3 percent share. On the other hand, ARMM has the lowest share of 0.8 per-cent of the country’s GDP.

NCR, likewise, con-tributed the largest at 1.3 percentage points to the national GDP growth of 3.9 percent in 2011, followed by

Central Luzon with 0.7 per-centage point and Central Visayas and CALABARZON which contributed 0.5 per-centage point each. ARMM, on the other hand, had a negative contribution.

The economies of all island groups posted slower growths in 2011 from their strong performances in 2010, a national statistical coordination board report said.

Luzon’s economy (ex-cluding NCR) slowed down to 3.9 percent in 2011 from a robust performance of 8.9 percent in 2010; Visayas

decelerated to 5.9 percent from 7.3 percent and Min-danao’s economy turned in a lackluster performance of 3.2 percent from 4.7 percent.

BUREAU of Immigration (BI) agents arrested two con-victed British pedophiles wanted for a string of child molestation and sexual assault cases in their country.

Immigration Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. identi-fied the aliens as Keefer James Cooper, 70, and David Alan Williams, 50.

Operatives from the BI fugitive search unit arrested the Britons last July 17 at their house in Polanco, Zam-boanga del Norte.

David said the Britons, who are detained at the BI jail in Bicutan, Taguig, would be deported for being undesirable aliens.

“Their continued presence in our country poses a threat to our Filipino children, anyone of whom could be the next victim,” the BI chief said.

THINK a Minute.Do you sometimes feel

that the only way your kids will listen and obey you is if you get angry with them?

We can understand the school teacher who said she hates her job because the only way she can control her class of naughty chil-dren is to always be angry with them!

Many parents get so tired and frustrated from being angry with their children. But we think our being angry is the only way our kids will take us seriously. But does using anger really work to teach our children well?

Imagine you’re driving your car too fast, breaking the speed limit. And a po-liceman who is not on duty or in uniform sees you. But he has no authority to stop

Think A Minute

Jhan Tiafau HurstJhan Tiafau Hurst

A bad teacher

Gun control, now!

and ticket you.So this policeman gets

angry and starts screaming and yelling at you as you speed by.

Would you slow down and drive by the rules just because a man by the road is angry and screaming at you?

Probably not! So the only thing that man ac-complished was to make himself look foolish.

But we parents some-times do the same thing

when we use our anger to correct and teach our children.

When our kids see us not able to control our own anger, it’s hard for them to truly respect us. Because we expect them to do something we cannot do ourselves. That’s why anger is a bad teacher. But when we keep our cool and control our anger each time we correct or discipline our children, we’re teaching our kids well, not only by what

we say, but by our example of how controlled and calmly we say it.

But you know, even pa-tient, good parents have their l imits! And kids sometimes push us past our limits. That’s why we need Jesus Christ to give us His supernatural patience and love every day.

Only His kind of will power can help us control our anger, no matter how stressful or maddening our kids get!

So friend, won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for your past mistakes and failures as a parent, and ask Him to take full charge of your heart and character everyday?

Because it’s only then we can become the good example and parent our kids need.

Just, Think a Minute.

THERE is a need to trash one of the 5-star hotels operating in our country.

Being first class, one would assume that this hotel will engage in professional and best practices when working with us Filipinos as their host, right? Wrong.

Sad to say the façade of this so-called 5-star hotel is, in reality, nothing less than a half star.

This Asian chain seems to be professional and reputable outside our country, but here in the country it is not.

Perhaps, this unprofessionalism has something to do with the local manager, specifically the foreign GM who is stationed here.

Realizing he can’t wait to get to his new assignment with his wife and newborn, he should be made to real-ize that in this country, foreigners better learn to be courteous, professional and have best practices with dealing with us.

After all, their presence is still tantamount to be-ing a guest, an alien, in our country regardless of their investments here.

This foreign manager I speak of met with me in an effort to lease out a space within this hotel. I assisted them. I sourced out a professional franchise operation who flew in from abroad to meet with the management of this 5-star hotel.

After a number of visits from the mother franchise from the U.S., all was set for signing and confirmations. Then, one day, the 5-star hotel stopped communicating. All lines went dead and the silence has turned deafen-ing. No formal written excuses were even composed and communicated but simply a silence as if we never met. You can only imagine the disgust of the Americans who flew in to town who now blame us Filipino entre-preneurs when to begin with it is this Indian much like the American Indians who just cowed out to oblivion without rhyme or reason.

While we may not have the best practices for busi-ness in the country we do expect no less a 5-star hotel manager to perform 5-star, considering the charges they levy on us. But maybe this foreigner believes he is better than we Filipinos and in which case he should be treated persona non grata. In my next column I will identify this idiot I speak of.

The lust of the eyes

Harry TambuatcoHarry Tambuatco

MEN and women alike have always struggled with lust, in the sexual sense of the word.

Job was the holiest of the ancients, yet even he had to make “a covenant with his eyes not to look lustfully at a girl” (Job 31:1).

The apostle John warned against “the cravings of sin-ful man, the lust of his eyes” (1 John 2:16). Like any other sin, the lust of the eyes has always been with us.

Simply put, the lust of the eyes is the desire to possess what we see or to have those things which have visual appeal.

There are pornograph-ic magazines and videos. There are pornographic programs on cable tele-vision and perhaps most alarmingly of all, there are thousands of ways to ac-cess pornography over the Internet.

Using pornography is a sin, of course, which is why people view it in secret, and why they feel ashamed when

THE deadly massacre that claimed the lives of 12 Americans and left 59 others wounded was one of the worst mass murders in U.S. history. The horrible – and despicable — act of suspected mass murderer James Eagan Holmes has made a lot of Americans wonder: What’s going on with our society?

Indeed, the United States of America — or simply “America,” as we fondly call the land of milk and honey – has gone wild and out of control. Too many Ameri-cans are dying unnecessarily and vainly in the bloody hands of people who have

they do. And just because it is a hidden sin, its destruc-tive power is huge.

Lust is never satisfied; it always craves more and more. Thus pornography is always uncontrollable. What at first is only idle curiosity soon becomes a compulsive addiction, and may ultimately lead to more sins.

Along the way, pornog-raphy kills joy and inhibits intimacy. Often it hinders a single person from finding a life partner.

Frequently it rips a mar-riage. Always it disturbs a man’s communion with God, robbing his confidence in the power of the gospel to

bring spiritual change. It may even destroy his very soul.

The real problem is not on your computer screen, it is in your heart, which is why trying to “just say no” never works.

If it were simply a matter of physical pleasure, sexual sin could be conquered through self-discipline, the exertion of moral effort.

But sex is always a spiri-tual matter, and gaining vic-tory over sexual sin requires a deep and gracious work of God’s Spirit.

The fact that sexual sin is about something more than just sex has a number of significant implications.

It means that conquer-ing sexual addiction will require the fresh application of repentance and forgive-ness to the deepest wounds in your heart.

It also means that there are many other sins that need to be dealt with—sins like arrogance, bitterness, and self-deception—before you can make significant progress towards holiness.

In some cases, it also means coming to terms with the ways that you have been sinned against, especially if you have suffered sexual abuse.

Help is available, not only from your pastors and other spiritual leaders, and with people who radically say no to sexual sin.

The ultimate remedy to lust is love—real love—the kind of selfless love that Christ demonstrated on the cross. And love is one thing that God has in unlimited supply.

He has the love to forgive

easy access to weapons of destruction, all under the constitutional guarantee of the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms.

Sad to say, the suspected gunman used his Second Amendment rights to gain ownership of the firearms – all purchased and licensed legally – that he used to spray bullets in a crowded theater in Aurora, Colorado during the premiere show-ing of the Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises.”

According to police in-vestigation, the suspected gunman had planned the attack with “calculation and deliberation” by spacing out

the deliveries of ammuni-tion and other ordnance in months to avoid any suspi-cion of what he was going

to do. And before he went on the rampage, he rigged his apartment with “jars of liquid, explosives and chemicals that were booby trapped to kill whoever entered it.” Fortunately, the Aurora police were able to defuse the explosives and bombs without any incident.

But 71 victims were 71 human beings too many to sacrifice to satisfy those who live their lives using the rights given to them by the Second Amendment. And as always, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has a boilerplate defense of the Second Amendment

THE Philippines’ largest national flag carrier, Cebu Pacific (PSE:CEB) slashes fares to some of the Philip-pines’ top tourist destina-tions, including Boracay, Coron, Puerto Princesa, Bohol, Davao and Siargao.

P988 all-in fares are available from July 26 to 29, 2012 or until seats last, for travel from September 24 to December 18, 2012.

These P988 all-in fares are available from Manila to Boracay (Caticlan), Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Coron (Bu-suanga), Cotabato, Davao, Dipolog, Dumaguete, Gen-eral Santos, Ozamiz, Pa-gadian, Puerto Princesa, Tagbilaran or Zamboanga.

All-in domestic fares are inclusive of fuel surcharge, administration fee, aviation security fee, 12% VAT and 7 kilos hand carry baggage allowance, but exclusive of

SMARTPHONE use in the Philippines is on a steady rise on the back of more low-priced internet-enabled mobile devices, giving more Filipinos access to internet surfing on their mobile phones.

According to a report from research firm GfK Phil-ippines, the average price of smartphones in Philippines has dropped 23% from last year’s USD317 or roughly P13,000 to USD244 or a little over P10,000 this year.

“Rising demand for smartphones is largely trig-gered by efforts of device manufacturers who are offering more affordable smartphones, as well as retailers who have started of-fering 0% interest programs of up to 24 months on top of other promos when selling smartphone devices,” noted Benny Villanueva, general manager of GfK Philippines.

Riding the growth of smartphone use in the Phil-ippines, Globe Telecom launched Globe PowerSurf plans, which are mobile browsing plans that use megabytes or MBs, a unit that measures data in in-ternet-related transactions.

Boracay was named as Travel + Leisure Magazine’s 2012 World’s Best Island, while Puerto Princesa is home to one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. CEB’s lowest fares to these destinations will definitely make it acces-sible to more travelers,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

“CEB also puts seats to China, Hong Kong, Ma-cau and Taipei on sale as low as P1,488 to continue promoting travel to North Asia. Hong Kong is also now within reach of pas-sengers from Kalibo, as well as Iloilo, with new direct flights starting November,” she added.

P1,488 all-in seats are also available from Iloilo to Hong Kong, for travel from November 8 to December 18, 2012.

For example, activi-ties that do not include downloading of any image, v i d e o or sound such a s Fa c e -book posts and likes, tweets, and e-mail with-out attach-ments con-sume up to 100 KB. Web page views and photo uploads and downloads are within the 100 KB to 500 KB range, while YouTube video streaming, appli-cation, games and music downloads generate more than 1MB.

Through Globe Power-Surf MB, subscribers get bulk Megabytes (MB) of mobile data, consumable per KB. Using Globe PowerSurf MB plans, subscribers use their allotted MBs for mobile internet activities, where MBs are consumed based on actual data from a specific activity. This type of charg-ing is better than default charging where subscribers are charged P5.00 for every

15 minutes of online time. Using MBs in mobile surfing does not look at the time spent online, but on the activity performed or site visited, making it more af-

mobile phone, thus giving users the worry-free mobile surfing experience.

“Most Filipinos buy smartphones and miss out on a lot of its features by limiting its use to texting or calling. A lot of smartphone users tend to use data via WiFi only due to fear of high data charges. This is why Globe introduced their Pow-erSurf MB plans. PowerSurf MB is best for smartphone users who always want to be connected and online without having to worry about high data charges, since charging is not based on time spent online, but on

what they do and the sites they go to when connected to mobile internet,” said Jenny Granada-Echevarria, Head of Globe Mobile Data Services.

“Now that smartphone prices have dropped, it is fitting to offer mobile in-ternet plans that give more value for money. Through this lineup of data plans, we also hope to empower

smartphone owners to maximize their phone and enjoy the full features of its apps, especially now that surfing on mobile has become easier on the pocket with Globe Power-Surf MB plans,” she added.

Prepaid subscribers can choose from the following affordable PowerSurf plans: 20MB for P15 valid for 1 day, 50MB for P30 also valid for 1 day, and 100MB for P50 valid for 3 days. Prepaid and Postpaid subscribers look-ing for plans with higher MB allocation and longer validity can avail of the fol-lowing 30-day PowerSurf MB variants: 50MB for only P99, 300 MB for only P299, and 1GB for only P499.

MARAWI City––The Department of Agriculture (DA) Bureau of Soils and Water Management based in Manila headed by Ms. Mercedes S. Fernando together with the Buad Agri School Foundation, Inc. headed by its Chairman of the Board Atty. Blo Umpar Adiong, Al-haj, conducted a two-day training on Tricho Production (Trichoderma harzianum) and production of massive organic fertilizer held at Buad Agricultural School foundation, Cadayonan-II in Marawi City from July 24-27, 2012.

The trainors include Ms. Maymay M. Macaanga, laboratory technician, Ms. Aurora M. Manalang, Ms. Josephine Nana, and Mr. Roger Principe.

The training was participated in by some 46 individuals.Adiong said that he organized the training with the

agriculture department purposely to educate his fellow marginalized Muslim brothers and sisters.

He added that the training will certainly help in-crease the income of the participants, who rely mainly on farming.

“We are very much thankful to the DA officials that came here just to share their expertise,” said Adiong.

MISAMIS Occidental––Th e provincial government, through a resolution, asked and requested the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) to take over the management and supervision of its Provincial Reformatory Jail.

In a resolution authored by SP Member Edwin Florida of the 2nd District through the offi ce of the Governor Herminia M. Ramiro its intent request to the bureau to take over the management and operation of MOPRJ.

SP Resolution 39-11 pointed out that for decades the facilities and building where provincial inmates are kept for rehabilitation is now inappropriate and dilapidated and because of budgetary constraints the province cannot function and operate it anymore.

Florida told Mindanao Daily News that with the resolution the provincial government like other lo-cal government unit in the country is doing, Misamis Occidental wants that the BJMP will take it over but not the building or the area where it is now.

Florida added that with the recent event that is hap-pening with the government share especially its Internal Revenue Allotment, Misa-mis Occidental cannot cope with its budgetary needs that cost four to fi ve (4-5) million a year.

With this problem, the provincial jail operations especially in the treatment of its inmates, the management cannot even improved its function, likewise the Pro-vincial Jail Guards need more learning and knowledge in

the new art of keeping the jail into its modern admin-istration. If there will be a Major Jail Break the province cannot do otherwise but face its consequences.

Meanwhile, SP Member Morpheus Agot who is the chairman of the Committee on Cultural Heritage added that the infrastructure of the Provincial Jail was build in 1920’s before World War II, it is designed by the Spaniards to keep their POW’s.

In the SP Resolution 39-11, the Provincial Jail

must not be demolished, if BJMP will takeover, they can fi nd another place to build a new jail, and the old Provincial Jail can be made into a museum.

Said SP Resolution even approved and passed it is still a recommendatory for the BJMP to accept as it is requested by the Provincial Government to humanly manage the inmates as it is their work and function authorized by the Depart-ment of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Filipinos has adopted the concept of cosplay and it is seen in many of the cosplay exposures in the country.

The Kagay-anons has it also, the CDOTaku. CDOTaku is a group of cosplayers in the city. They join cosplay expos and activities in and out of the city with their own-made out-of-the old box garments and materials.

J o h n M i c h a e l G o , o n e o f t h e CDOTaku cosplayers reaped awards and recognitions in various cosplay expos and competitions. He has been cosplaying for seven years now.

“It’s just a hobby. I’m fond of manga characters, that’s why I imitate them. But after receiving awards, it turns out as a passion now”, John shared.

In celebration of the Philippines-Japan Friendship Month, 12 amateur Liceo cosplayers and five professionals from CDOTaku ruled Liceo de

Cagayan University with ardent enthusiasm and prowess on a cosplay expo on July 27, 2012.

L i c e o U c e l e b r a t e s P h i l - J a p a n Friendship Month with cosplay tilt

From simple outfits to h ighly detai led manga-anime-comic-based suits, cosplay participants with an intent to replicate not only costumes but also mannerisms of different characters gave a touch of Japanese culture.

Cosplay is a term coined by Nobuyuki T a k a h a s h i o f t h e Japanese Studio Hard which is “costume” and “play”. Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered on role playing of manga and comic characters.

Indeed, cosplay is not only an expression of adoring a character wanting to become that character but it has other purposes also. Those people who enjoy the attention that depicting a certain

character brings. Within the cultures

of anime and manga specifically, as well as science fiction and fantasy, there is a certain level of fame that is attached to cosplayers especially to those who are anime and manga addicts.

To those who enjoy c r e a t i v e p r o c e s s i n c o m p l e t i o n o f costumes, for them it’s a personal achievement.

A m o n g L i c e o amateur cosplayers, three stood out in their well-conceptualized c o s t u m e s n a m e l y Kimberly Pajo, Darlen Joy Saberon and Regie Umquiaco who placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.

“I’m happy, it’s my f i r s t t ime to jo in a cosplay competition”, Kimberly expressed with tears of joy.

Control...from page 6

regardless of the circum-stance, to wit: “People kill, not guns.” NRA advocates consistently say that killings happen, with or without guns. True. But with guns – especially assault rifles – it is easier to kill, and could kill more than any other killing instrument available to man since Cain killed his brother, Abel.

Armed to the teethIndeed, it was so easy for

Holmes to buy an AR-15 military style semi-automat-ic assault rifle, a 12-gauge Remington shotgun, and two .40-caliber Glock auto-matic handguns. It didn’t raise any suspicion when he purchased in the Internet 6,000 rounds of ammuni-tion in two separate orders. He didn’t have any problem buying a military drum-style 100-round ammunition clip that he attached to the AR-15. And it only took him two minutes to kill or injure 71 innocent people and inflict emotional scars on the lives of hundreds of their relatives and friends. Yes, such was the speed for which a psychopath with easy access to deadly weapons could do.

But the nagging question is: For what purpose do Americans have the right to bear arms? This is the gist of the debate on gun control that has evaded serious consideration only because of the powerful pro-gun advocates and their allies in the U.S. Congress who are unbending in their stand against anyone who would challenge the sanctity of gun ownership.The Second Amendment

On December 15, 1791, the Second Amendment — along with the rest of the Bill of Rights — was adopted and incorporated into the United States Con-stitution. It proclaims, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

It is interesting to note that at that time the U.S. didn’t have a standing army to defend the young nation. In lieu of a professional

army, the fledgling govern-ment of George Washington created a “well-regulated militia,” which consisted of every able-bodied man in the country, to defend the new republic.

One can then infer that the right to bear arms was a right granted to the integral components of a “well-regulated militia.” In other words, only those who were part of the “well-regulated militia” were given the right to bear arms. But now that the days of the “well-regulated militia” are over, does that mean that the Second Amendment is no longer in effect? One can argue, however, that the U.S. Armed Forces today has taken the place of the “well-regulated militia” or “citizen militia” of old.

And this was probably what led the U.S. Supreme Court to decide what the Second Amendment re-ally means in its ruling on the U.S. v. Miller in 1939. In this case, the Court held that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to bear arms, but only if the arms in question were those that would be useful as part of a citizen militia. In effect, the Court merely translated the original language of the Second Amendment to keep up with the evolu-tion of the “well-regulated militia” from the republic’s early days to the “citizen militia” of the 20th century, which are known today as the “national guard.”

But the pro-gun advo-cates interpret the Second Amendment differently, to wit: “The individual right to bear arms is a basic right just like the right to free speech.”

And this is where the Supreme Court is divid-ed. Indeed, U.S. Supreme Court had never reached a consensus on the Second Amendment because of the disagreement among the justices on whether the Second Amendment was intended to protect the right to bear arms as an “individual right” or as a component of the “well-regulated militia,” “citizen militia” or “national guard.”

However, in 2008, the Supreme Court issued a

decision in the District of Columbia v. Heller. The Court ruled: “The Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia and to use that arm for tradition-ally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.” The decision seems like a Solomonic com-promise that satisfied the pro-gun advocates and the proponents of gun-control. But was it enough to deal with the collateral issues surrounding the Second Amendment such as gun control?

Makes one wonder if the founding fathers thought that more than 200 years after the era of the militia men — who used single-firing muskets as weapons — the country would be flooded with all kinds of sophisticated weaponry, some of which could fire 500 rounds per minute? Had they anticipated that it would have come to this, would they have inserted a “rider” to the Second Amendment that would have mandated gun control to insure the safety of the citizens?

Wake-up callPerhaps the issue of gun

control should be brought to the front burner of na-tional debate. Americans can no longer seek sanc-tuary anywhere from the danger of too many guns in the wrong hands.

America is at risk of colossal decline and moral decadence if nothing were done to stop the prolif-eration of firearms in the country. Indeed, the bloody massacre in Aurora, Colo-rado is an eerie wake-up call.

I hope that in the after-math of this dark episode, a shining dawn – splendorem aurora – would finally break in America. [email protected]

The said court sen-tenced Cooper to 10 years in prison after finding him guilty on ten counts of rape and indecent assault against children.

He was, however, con-victed in absentia as he eluded arrest and fled to the Philippines in August 2009.

On the other hand, Mangrobang said a crown court in Worcestershire , England convicted Wil-liams for indecent assault on a child in May 2004.

He served a short pris-on term, was released on bail and fled to the Phil-ippines in September of that year.

Mangrobang said the Britons will be deported this week as deportation orders were already issued against them by the BI board of commissioners.
