Carmudi PH makes your onlinecar selling and buying process easyWHAT’S your online car ex-change experience? Was itsmooth and straightforward,or was it plagued with ambi-guity and hesitation? Nomatter what their age, carsare big-ticket items that costanywhere from five to eightfigures. The last thing youwant is to deal with someonewho can’t make up theirmind, whether that person isbuying your car, or sellingone to you.

Dedicated car-exchangewebsites are a great idea—atleast in theory. They offerbuyers a convenient oppor-tunity to check out a vehiclefrom the comfort of theirhomes, without wasting timeor fuel to hop from one cardealer to another. Sellers, onthe other hand, can uploadtheir photos and details oftheir car immediately to apotentially international au-dience.

In practice, however, notall online car exchange siteslive up to their premise: Halfof the time, important detailssuch as mileage or servicehistory are deliberately omit-ted. Other times, photos areblurred, dark or poorlyframed. While not everyone

is expected to be an automo-bile photographer, a littleeffort can go a long way inshowing your vehicle in thebest light. Sometimes—though not frequently—thecar’s price won’t even be pre-cise, with a note thatreads ”Send message forpricing” or ”Last price in-quiry only upon seeingvehicle”.

Fair enough; the rap-port between the buyer andseller is dynamic once theymeet, potentially affectingthe final pricing, though itwould be nice—and se-cure—to know exactly howmuch money one mustbring along to consummatethe transaction and not anyless because, as stated ear-lier, cars are big-ticket items,unlike mobile phones ortablets.

With new vehicle salesat an all-time high; and thesecondary market boomingcommensurately, online carexchanges are the wisest firststep to acquiring or unload-ing a car. But are all onlinecar exchange sites as effec-tive as the other?

Your time—as well asyour buyer and seller’s

time—is valuable. Trim-ming out all the clutter andleaving only the relevantdata makes the exchangeprocess quick and hassle-free. Clear photos, conciseyet complete car details;comprehensive contact in-formation and an assuranceof legitimacy all inspire con-sumer confidence criticalfor that first step.

With its global expertisein the field of online car trad-ing, Carmudi and its localo n l i n ecounterpart, Carmudi.com.ph,have constructed their siteto be as informative aspossible without beingvague or redundant. Every-thing you need to know tobuy or sell your vehicle is onthe site, awaiting only a per-sonal inspection—orperhaps even a test drive—to seal the deal.

Since her assumptionas a rural health midwife in1987, there has been no ma-ternal and new born childdeath recorded in thebarangay health centerwhere she serves.

“Kapag may

Malaysia stands firm noransom is paid to Abu Sayyaf

CCCCContinued frontinued frontinued frontinued frontinued from page 1om page 1om page 1om page 1om page 1“The families handed

the sum to the SpecialBranch of the police and Ican confirm that it waschanneled to a certainorganisation in the Philip-pines for a sanctionedcause,” he told reporters.

But Inspector-Generalof Police, Tan Sri Khalid AbuBakar, on Monday said themoney did not pass throughthem and quickly shut downsuggestions for a formal in-vestigation into it. He saidthe money collected by thefamilies of the hostages waspassed to a “third party” inthe southern Philippinesand not to Malaysian policein Sandakan, a report by theMalay Mail Online newspa-per said.

“Why must we open anenquiry about it now? I havealready explained what hap-pened to the cash. There isno reason for us to conductany enquiry as we were notinvolved. I do not know, butpolice will not investigatebecause we know where themoney went and I have al-ready explained it. So I amnot going to go back-and-forth on something which Ihave already explained,” hetold reporters at the nationalpolice headquarters inKuala Lumpur.

It was not immediatelyknown whether the AbuSayyaf received the moneythrough a bogus founda-tion, and the Philippinemilitary has no official re-port or confirmationwhether ransom has beenpaid to the ISIS-linkedgroup.

But the Abu Sayyaf had

previously freed 14 kid-napped Indonesians sailorsthrough the Moro NationalLiberation Front (MNLF) inSulu, one of five provincesunder the Muslim autono-mous region.

And one of those whowas being tapped by Malay-sia to negotiate to the AbuSayyaf in their behalf wasHajji Mamih Sangkula, alsoan MNLF member nowbased in Sabah, but is fre-quently back in Sulu.

Just recently, Jolo townMayor Hussin Amin – in anexclusive interview by tele-vision giant ABS-CBN - hasaccused the military ofcolluding with the AbuSayyaf group and claimedthat some officers had takenshares of ransoms paid forthe freedom of some of itshostages.

He also said the militaryhas been using some AbuSayyaf members as their “as-sets” a slang to refer to spyor informant. He asked thegovernment to investigatemilitary officers in cahootswith the Abu Sayyaf and forthe Armed Forces of thePhilippines to conduct a loy-alty check among its ranks.

“Mga scalawags, ehdapat nga huwag na langpatago, kung meron,imbestigahan, oo naandoon na ang ransom,pero imbestigahan kungsino ba ito? Sino ba angkumikita sa ransom? Hindinaman Abu Sayyaf. Iyan angmga grupo na sabi iisa lang,ngayon dumadami na dahilmay mga andiyan, ayginagawang asset doon,sinasabing hindi nila asset,alam naman ng military

yan,” he said.Amin, a former judge in

Jolo before he became apolitician, said the AbuSayyaf may be getting sup-port or information fromscalawags within the mili-tary. “These are the peoplewho are in connivance withthe scalawags in the militarykaya malakas ang loob.Sabihin na ba ang totookung mayroon man ran-som, dapat alamin kungsino ba ang gumagawa ngransom. Sino ba angkumikita sa ransom, dapatdito ikulong,” he said in theinterview.

Amin, a former con-gressman, also said that acolonel in the military ben-efited from ransoms paid forthe release of Dr. AlberioCanda who was kidnappedin Sulu in 2004 and freed amonth later.

He said a congressionalinquiry into the kidnappingshowed the alleged involve-ment of the military officer.The military’s WesternMindanao Commandquickly denied the accusa-tions and challenged Aminto prove his allegations.

“Well, that’s his allega-tions. He has to prove that.Kung meron, bakit hindiniya sabihin sa amin?

Details of the talkswere not made availableby the MILF or anybodyfrom Duterte’s group, butother sources said themeeting also centered onthe issues of the Muslimsin Mindanao and theshift to federal form ofgovernment as beingproposed by the electedpresident.

The MILF, whichsigned an interim peacedeal with the Aquino gov-ernment in 2014, haspreviously insisted thenew government the pas-sage of the shelvedBangsamoro Basic Lawto appease the Muslimsin Mindanao.

Ebrahim said they areconfident with Dutertethat the “peace processwill not be relegated instatus, as it has proven tobe potentially the most

viable solution to addressconflict arising from his-torical injusticescommitted against ourpeople.”

He said the MILF re-mains committed in itscontinued pursuit to findlong-lasting peace anddevelopment inMindanao. Ebrahim saidthe BBL could be a pos-sible template forfederalism.

During Duterte’s po-litical campaign, he said“nothing can appease theBangsamoro until theBBL is passed.”

The MILF haspledged to exert efforts inundertaking its obliga-tions to fully implementthe commitments underthe ComprehensiveAgreement on theBangsamoro (CAB).

“The MILF maintainsits position that the CAB-

based Bangsamoro BasicLaw needs to be immedi-ately passed into law, notonly because it effec-tively addresses thepeculiarities unique tothe Bangsamoro that arenot necessarily found inother prospective federalstates,” Ebrahim said.

Congress failed topass the BBL after politi-cians opposed to thedraft law said many of itsprovisions were uncon-stitutional.

Duterte’s political al-lies in Congress are saidto be preparing – after hetakes his formal oath ofoffice in June 30 – tomove for amendments inthe Constitution thatwould pave the way forthe shift to federalismwhere Muslims can exer-cise their own Sharialaws. (Mindanao Exam-iner)

Social workers saidsome 2000 people wereleft homeless by the hugefire that hit two areas inIsabela City during theRamadan. The fire razed

some 500 houses in Zone1 and Zone 2 in KaumPurnah.

The mayor of Isabela,Cherry Akbar, also orderedsocial workers to distrib-ute relief goods to firevictims and appealed tothe public for cash andfood donations. Local ra-dio station, dxNO-RadyoKomunidad, alsolaunched a campaign toseek relief donations fromresidents to help thehomeless now staying intemporary shelters in gov-ernment schools inIsabela City.

The regional govern-ment also distributedrelief packs to the fire vic-tims.

A huge fire also brokeout last week ZamboangaCity and many of the vic-tims are still in temporaryshelters. The blaze, whichstarted in Santa Catalina’sMarietta Drive and spreadthrough other areas andrazed tens of dozens ofhouses made of wood.

The blaze reachedgeneral alarm and firefighters from different vil-lages were called to helpcontrol the conflagrationthat lasted about 4 hours.City Fire Marshall ClintCha said fire engines haddifficulties passingthrough narrow streetsand the presence of on-lookers aggravated thesituation and hampering

HEALTH: Ano Ang Mga Laboratory Test Para Sa Goiter?Payo ni Dr. Willie T. Ong

KAPAG nagpatingin kayosa doktor para sa thyroiday titingnan athahawakan niya anginyong leeg. Papalunukinka niya habangineeksamen ang leegdahil ang thyroid gland ayumaakyat baba kapaglumulunok. Kung maybukol sa leeg na nasa loobng thyroid, ito rin ayaakyat at baba sapaglunok. Kung hindigumagalaw ang bukol saleeg sa paglunok,malamang nasa labas itong thyroid gland.

Ano ang mga lab testsna puwedeng ipagawa ngdoktor?

THYROID FUNC-TION TESTS. T3, T4, TSH.Puwede ring free T3, freeT4 o FT3, FT4. Ang T3 ayshort for triiodothyronine.Ang T4 ay short for thyrox-ine. At ang ibig sabihin ngTSH ay Thyroid Stimulat-ing Hormone. Sapamamagitan ng bloodtests na ito ay malalamankung sobra, kulang otama lang angproduksyon ng thyroidhormones sa katawan.

U L T R A S O U N D .Sound waves lang po anggamit dito para makitaang hugis at laki ng thy-roid gland. Ditomalalaman kung maybukol sa thyroid gland. Sapamamagitan ng ultra-sound ay makikita kungang bukol ay cyst (bukolna tubig lamang ang

Dr. Willie T. Ong

laman), solid (laman) ocomplex (magkahalongtubig at laman). Nasusukatdin ang laki ng bukol (thy-roid nodule) para masabikung kailangan bang i-bi-opsy ang bukol. Makikitarin sa ultrasound ang ibangmga senyales na baka can-cerous ang bukol pero angbiopsy lamang at hindi angultrasound angmakakapagpatunay dito.

FNAB. Short for fineneedle aspiration biopsy.Isang pinong karayom angginagamit para kumuha ngkonting laman mula sabukol para malaman kungito ay cancerous o hindi.Hindi na kailangan ng an-esthesia kasi kahalintuladito ng pagkuha ng dugo -yun nga lang sa leeg angtusok kung nasaan angbukol. Kadalasan angbukol ay nakikita onasasalat kaya madaliitong matusok. Kung angbukol ay di gaanongnakakapa o kung maytubig na laman, minsan ay

gumagamit ng ultra-sound para matusok atmakuhanan ng sampleang laman na bahagi(solid) ng bukol paramaging mas accurateang resulta ng biopsy.Mas mahal ang FNABkapag ito ay ultrasound-guided. Isang pathologistang magbabasa ng bi-opsy. Ang gumagawanaman ng biopsy aypuwedeng isang endo-crinologist, siruhano,radiologist o pathologistdin.

THYROID SCAN.Kung ang TSH ay hindinormal, puwedengmagpagawa ng thyroidscan ang doktor. Iba itosa ultrasound. Mayiniiniksyon na kemikalpara mas makita nangmabuti ang thyroid.Kung ang ultrasound aynagsasalarawan kungano ang hitsura(anatomy) ng thyroid,ang scan naman ay func-tional picture. Umiilaw olumalabas sa scan angmga bahagi ng thyroidna gumagana at hindinaman umiilaw o hindilumalabas sa scan pic-ture ang mga bahagi ngthyroid na hindigumagana.

Huwag mag-alinlangang magtanongsa inyong doktor tungkolsa mga lab tests napinapagawa upang masmaintindihan ninyo anginyong sakit.

La Niña to lastuntil February 2017

CEBU - The PhilippineAtmospheric, Geophysi-cal and AstronomicalServices Administrationhas urged the public toprepare for the onslaughtof La Niña which is ex-pected to occur startingthis October and will ex-tend until February nextyear.

“There is 75 percentchance of La Niña to hap-pen and that most often,it happens after a strongEl Niño,” said PAGASAVisayas Director OscarTabada.

La Niña is character-ized by unusually coldsurface temperatures ofthe ocean and is associ-ated with abnormal heavy

rainfall, temperature andtropical cyclones.

Tabada said La Niña’sstrength can be visibly feltby November, Decemberand January as the coun-try expects 14 to 15tropical cyclones beforethe year ends.

With La Niña, therewill be more cyclones,stronger typhoons and se-vere flooding, he said,adding, its effects aremore disastrous than ElNiño.

“Visayas andMindanao will be moreaffected by La Niña com-pared to Luzon,” Tabadasaid, citing the preva-lence of "habagat" orsouthwest monsoon

which brings frequentheavy rainfall.

Tabada specificallywarned Cebuanos to bevigilant as the provincewas ravaged in the pastby typhoons. He said thecountry will continue toexperience El Niño andLa Niña even up to 2080while Central Visayas isat high risk.

He said there are 13Doppler radars in Cebuto help provide PAGASAaccurate weather fore-cast. He said two radarsare now being set upand four more havebeen purchased ofwhich Bohol is one ofthe recipients. (FayetteC. Riñen)
