Abular CAMP OLIVAS -- Police arrested two suspected members of a gun-for-hire group after a brief armed encounter in Barangay Becuran, Sta. Rita, Pampanga last Monday. In his report to Chief Supt. Edgardo T. Ladao, Police Regional Office 3 director, Pampanga Police Office (PPO) director Senior Supt. Oscar D. Albayalde identified the sus- pects as John Lee Labrador de Ausen, 30, of Barangay Apalit, Floridablanca, Pampanga and Noel Bondoc Garcia, 31, of Barangay San Pedro, Floridablanca, Pampanga. The Sta. Rita police, headed by Senior Inspector Michael Masangkay, recovered from the suspects a Remington caliber .45 pistol with serial number 285756 and one M61 grenade. Albayalde said aside from gun-for-hire activities, the sus- pects were also members of a robbery armed group responsible in a series of robbery and hold-up incidents in Pampanga and Bataan provinces. He said the arrest of the suspects was an offshoot of an intensified intelligence operation conducted by Supt. Rodney Baloyo, PPO Intelligence Division chief. Masangkay said his men, manning a police check point in Barangay Becuran, flagged down the suspects on board two motorcycles at around 2:40 p.m. But, instead of stopping, the suspects sped away, prompting policemen to chase them. While fleeing, Ausen fired his gun at pursuing policemen but the lawmen did not fire back because there were many people in the area. The pursuing team called for backup instead, informing the nearest police outpost in nearby Barangay San Vicente to intercept the fleeing suspects. Upon reaching a school zone in Barangay San Matias, Guagua, one of the motorbikes lost its balance and slipped to avoid hitting students who were crossing the road. The rider of the fallen motorbike stood up and joined his companion on his motorcycle but they were cornered by pursuing policemen before they reached the highway. ● Ex-gov’t IBP-Ecija vows to provide legal aid to poor litigants employee killed in robbery HEALTH IS PRIORITY.

The lawyers under the organization, he said, also take time visiting local jails and detention facilities to ascertain the kind of help that litigants need. He stressed the need to expedite hearings in so many cases as a way to unclog such facilities and ensure a humane treatment to detainees. ● (PNA) Notorious drug peddler Bataan motorbike mishap busted in Gapan City claims 1, injures 3 others By Butch Gunio By Froilan E.

During the distribution of financial aid to students from Fourth District towns, Governor Lilia Pineda said the assistance will help improve their living conditions in the future. Ordinance No. 484, as amended by Ordinance No. 580, states that the provincial government’s educational assistance program is aimed at helping highschool graduates with honors from public schools in Pampanga by granting them financial assistance for college education including alternative learning system (ALS) passers. Accordingly, for valedictorian students who enjoy full scholarship from a uni- versity/college, the education cash benefit shall be paid to them directly, immediately after submitting their complete requirements. “Those who do not have scholarship grants, the education cash benefit shall be released and remitted to the college/university where they enrolled,” the ordinance states. The education cash benefit is for a two-year period for as long as the studentrecipient maintains the required general average. A maintaining grade of 85 percent is required for valedictorian, salutatorian and 1st honorable mention; 80 percent for 2nd and 3rd honorable mentions; while ALS graduates must maintain passing grades. Program beneficiaries may lose their education cash benefit should they obtain failing grades; drop any subject and disciplined by school authorities for violating school rules and regulations and for unruly behavior. ● Interactive tree top adventure eyed in Pilar By Butch Gunio PILAR, Bataan -- In a bid to boost tourism, firstterm Lady Mayor Alice Pizarro of this town is eyeing to develop an interactive tree top adventure near a falls here. She said the tourism project will be established in the area of Dunsulan Falls in the upland Barangay Liyang. She said six massive trees will be utilized for the project. “What we are thinking here is a tree top adventure totally different from that in Subic. What we want in Pilar is something interactive,” explained the lady mayor. She said the tree-top adventure will have six legs. There will be monkey bridges, hanging stairs and other types of tree top adventure. Pizarro, however, stressed that they will ensure that the tress will not get hurt in the project. She and other municipal officials and personnel also trekked the trail leading to the source of the Dunsulan Falls where another falls locally called “Dunsulang Malaki” can be found. The lady mayor said they are also looking at the possibility of developing the area of “Dunsulang Malaki” for tourism purposes. ● WOMEN FOR ENVIRONMENT.

School principal Rolando Zapata said that students availed the program to free themselves from common vaccine-preventable diseases. The school-based adolescent immunization is a nationwide program of the DOH that adopts the theme “Malusog na Kabataan, Kabalikat at Pag-asa para sa Kaunlaran: Magpapabakuna.” DOH representatives, with the help of the school officials, conducted measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and tetanus diphtheria (TD) vaccination to grade 7 (first year) students. Those diseases were previously identified by the DOHNational Epidemiology Center as commonly observed on adolescents. According to the students, they sought first the approval of their respective parents before they decided to avail the program. ● (PNA) Mariveles vice mayor vows dynamic, responsive council By Butch Gunio MARIVELES, Bataan -This town’s Vice Mayor Turing Isip has vowed for meaningful legislation from the Sangguniang Bayan here under his watch.

The PCPC is scheduled to visit this month the towns of Dinalupihan, Mariveles, Limay and Samal to assess their respective program on the welfare of children. In a related development, the Provincial Council on Disability Affairs convened and discussed the distribution of wheelchairs to beneficiaries in the province. LDS Charities, humanitarian arm of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, donated the wheelchairs. ● 4 Headline Gitnang Luzon SEPTEMBER 12, 2013 EDITORIAL Informed, empowered Good news! Dengue cases in the region are lower by around 50 percent during the first eight months of the year compared to the record in the same period last year, Department of Health (DOH) said. Though there are still 8,837 recorded cases of the disease all throughout the region, the number is still significantly low compared to the statistics of 2012. Pampanga had 3,830 dengue cases in 2012. This year, however, the cases are about 60 percent lower. The number could still go up as the rains have only started and many areas could still hold flood water where dengue-carrying mosquitoes could thrive. But, we hope the information campaigns of the government are enough for the public to keep themselves safe from the disease at all times. All it takes is just keep their surroundings clean. The DOH, meantime, can claim that their efforts, in cooperation with the local government units, are working to reduce the number of people affected by the deadly disease. They are, anyway, the ones getting the blame whenever outbreaks of dengue are recorded. HEADLINE Gitnang Luzon is a Daily Regional Newspaper General Manager: Atty. Gerome n. Tubig Asst.

The Vikings, for example, interred their dead in boats or ships, as in Oscberg, or in graves on land with stone markings in the form of a ship, as in Lindholm Høje. Around 3000 B.C. the practice of burying actual boats along with the dead evolved in Egypt. Austronesians, such as the many ethno-linguistic lowlanders living in precolonial Philippines, had this reflected culture. Archaeological excavations in Nakavajayan, Batanes, for instance, have produced what seem to be boatshaped stone markers, as well as burial jars, dating back to 1595 A.D. In Palawan, Chamber A of the Manunggul Cave turned up a burial jar (710-890 B.C.) with anthropomorphic figures on top of the cover, representing souls paddling from a boat on their way to the afterlife.

Murrow Bridge over Lake Washington opens in Seattle. The new bridge, which was actually the eastbound lanes of Interstate 90 (the westbound lanes cross the lake on a separate bridge), connects the city and its eastern suburbs. It replaced the original Murrow Bridge, the first floating concrete bridge in the world, which was destroyed by a flood in November 1990. In December 1938, Washington governor Clarence Martin and Lacey V. Murrow, the director of the Washington Toll Bridge Authority, broke ground on what would be the largest floating structure in the world: the Lake Washington Floating Bridge, also known as the Mercer Island Bridge, between Seattle to the west and Bellevue, Washington, to the east. (It was renamed for Murrow in 1967.) At the time the bridge was built, it carried US Route 10 across the lake; a few decades later, that highway became Interstate 90. The bridge was a Public Works Administration-financed project designed to give work to unemployed Washingtonians and to make the towns across the lake from Seattle more accessible to suburban development. When the bridge opened in 1940, the Seattle Times called it “the biggest thing afloat.” It was almost two miles long, contained 100,000 tons of steel, floated on more than 20 hollow concrete pontoons, and carried 5,000 cars each day. (By 1989, its daily load was closer to 100,000 cars.) In 1990, while the bridge was closed for repairs, construction workers punched giant holes in the pontoons that kept it afloat and went home for the weekend. A few days of rain and high winds filled the pontoons with water, and the bridge broke apart and sank. Repairing it was no easy task: The sinking pontoons had pulled more than a halfmile of highway into the lake with them, and the structure needed to be rebuilt from scratch. This project took three years and cost $93 million. When the bridge finally reopened, it closed one of the last remaining gaps in the interstate highway system: a person could drive from Boston to Seattle without ever leaving I-90. --HISTORY. 5 Headline Gitnang Luzon SEPTEMBER 12, 2013 Some changes made in Arayat S ome people who visit Arayat town are in awe of the changes that the municipal government is doing.

While vehicles have to find other alternate routes to avoid going against the one-way traffic flow, it has significantly smoothened the flow of vehicles. *** One significant change that I saw is the relocation of sidewalk and itinerant vendors in the public market area. Gone are the illegal occupants of side streets that are made for walking public. Ambulant vendors have their proper places to stay, too. *** A couple of days ago, several persons were apprehended in this town due to illegal gambling.

Kasunod nito ang pagkakaroon din ng pagtaas nito sa mga probinsiya bilang pangako ng ating pamahalaan. Sinabi ni Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz ng Department of Labor and Employment, napagkasunduan ng Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board of the National Capital Region (RTWPBNCR) na itaas ng sampung piso ang nasabing umento kapag napirmahan na ang wage order at kapag ito ay nailathala na sa mga pahayagan. Kapag ito ay nabigyan na ng katuparan, magiging P466 na ang minimum na pasahod sa mga trabahador sa pribadong sektor sa kamaynilaan. Nakapaloob dito ang “basic wage” at ang Cost of Living Allowance o COLA. Isa pang magandang balita ukol dito ay ang dagdag na P15 sa kasalukuyang P30 na COLA na ipatutupad sa darating na Enero ng susunod na taon. Ang dagdag pasahod na ito ay magiging epektibo sa ating mga minimum wage earners sa mga pribadong kumpanya sa Kamaynilaan sa kahit anong posisyon nila sa kanilang mga trabaho, permanente man o hindi. Samantala, sinasabing hindi kabilang ang mga kasambahay, mga family driver at iba pang mga nagbibigay ng mga personal na serbisyo sa mga pamilya sa nasabing dagdag sahod.

There is a good self-attitude that comes across quite strong. This attitude is not necessarily as selfish as it is forthright. Eliminating the trivial is all-important; focus is the goal. Discipline is no problem, but you may be too authoritarian, assertive and somber some of the time. Listen to yourself so that you can change any tendency to be abrupt in your response to others. You are involved in a day that requires an intense mental effort. You work hard and your hard work pays off. Exercise or take in a massage this afternoon-perhaps with a friend or loved one. A massage will release the tensions. Neighbors are friendly; accept invitations they might extend to you at this time. ARIES (MAR. 21-APR. 19) This is another high-energy day in which much can be accomplished. As a result you can expect a little boost with regard to a job well done. This is a great time to be with others, working as a team. The support you need is available and you, in turn, are able to lend support to others. There is a feeling that you can do anything if you set your sights high enough. You may decide to take a course in speed learning or some other way to absorb facts quickly. You get the time-consuming chores out of the way. There is optimism and a tendency to take on new challenges. Friends and group sports may be enjoyed tonight. It is easy to see what you care about. Your sense of appreciation is sharpened and you do special favors for your family this evening. CANCER (JUN 22- JUL 22) Support and recognition should be forthcoming from the public and from family and friends. You feel at home in the world and it more than takes care of you. You could have deep insights into your own feelings and inner, spiritual nature. You may be a bit moody, even dreamy and creative during this period. Your emotions and feelings could reach heights that are close to ecstatic. It is easy for you to find the proper motivation to fulfill your ideals or make your dreams into reality. Communicating is at a high just now. Your timing is perfect and those around you should find you most spontaneous and alive. Your own growth and success may be linked to questions of security-home and family, in particular. It is time to establish a home base. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN 19) This is a time when job and family may take up most of your time. You may find that friends and many personal interests fall by the wayside. This marks a time when your whole life path may be redefined and see you heading in a new career direction. If you see that you would do better in public relations, or in some other department, start a project that would help you move into that change. When higher-ups recognize your potential, the results could be perhaps, a move to a different environment. In other words, it may be time for you to make your talents known to more than just your small surroundings. Your talents could be in demand in more than one place and that means a possible increase in salary! Take time to focus on your animals this evening. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN 21) It is easy for you to make correct decisions, find the right path and move forward in your career. You have a lot of energy to pour into practical decisions now. You may need to put a careful watch on your inclination to appear commanding. Right now, the key to career moves involves attending to nagging details--whatever you have put off or neglected. Attention to matters of health and finding positive stress relief techniques are important. This is a great time, when good fortune and plain old luck surround you. There is a feeling that everything is doable if you set your sights high enough. There is optimism, faith and a tendency to take chances at the deepest emotional levels. New and deeper powers are being awakened in you. LEO (JUL 23 - AUG. 23) You have no trouble coming up with original and witty ideas. You may however, spend most of the morning at your desk returning phone calls. Things that are strange, eccentric and novel seem to challenge you. Result: you have a traditional response at times. You are learning to enjoy hard work and you persist. You learn how to manage speaking--regardless of how uncomfortable you may feel about being in front of people. You may find you have a future speaking in public or in leading a lecture series. You enjoy drawing on that sense of security you get from your friends and family. A social affair will present opportunities for networking. This could just mean a short stop by a gathering place before going home. Your energy is positive. LIBRA (SEP. 23 - OCT. 23) Independence, as well as anything unusual, is valued this thursday. Information that you have been questioning will begin to take shape and prove useful. This next period is one of action and embarking on new projects. You may have a tendency to take refuge in duties and responsibilities rather than face issues that might put you through some changes--today is different. Puzzling questions are present now and there could be a feeling of being tested. If you are never questioned or puzzled, you might never discover the things you need to learn. Perhaps you yearn for a big problem to solve. You may become interested in continued education this fall--perhaps to learn a new skill. You will soon have an opportunity to learn new things. PISCES (FEB. 19 - MAR. 20) Gut feelings don’t originate in the tummy, but in the right side of the brain. You operate with your gut feelings today and probably fare better than others who make decisions with information they are given. Sales, communication and the arts are areas where you excel. This has been a month of rapid growth and recognition for your hard work, mentally and physically. There is a new moneymaking opportunity on the horizon--you need to ask lots of questions, instead of responding to gut feelings. This could mean an investment opportunity as well as the possibility of working with a charity organization. There is a feeling that everything is doable with you. There is optimism, faith and a tendency to take chances at the deepest levels. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 - DEC. 21) There is a relentless getting down to essentials that make your sense of practical vision very deep. You have a sense of how to manipulate sensitive areas of the public. Perhaps you work for a group that is involved in the study of statistical matters. You may have come upon some answers regarding the cause of some demented character flaw or a plant that may promote healing. Research and statistics and writing your findings could be very important. You have new information about a financial situation that can leave you smiling. There is an emphasis on close relationships and ideas of fairness and harmony concerning young people this evening--you may be the gobetween. Tonight you encourage family members to volunteer to help a charity. SCORPIO (OCT. 24- NOV. 21) The coordination of a business conference may be on your shoulders today and tomorrow. This is easy stuff, but if you feel you need extra help, all you have to do is ask. Requests are good but it is best not to make any demands. This particular time promises to be competitive. Cooperate with others but back away from those who are too aggressive. You find it easy to work with sensitive material, touching upon the more vulnerable areas of the mind or self. You are able to handle these delicate matters without ever breaking stride--for you view the emotional and tender areas of the human psyche as natural. The most important thing that guides you is the truth. This evening your friendships play a most important part in your day. Robinsons Angeles | Cinema 3 OTJ (On The Job) MTRCB Rating: R-16 12:30 PM | 2:50 PM | 5:10 PM | 7:30 PM Robinsons Angeles Cinema 4 The Call MTRCB Rating: R-16 1:00 PM | 3:00 PM | 5:00 PM ( Cinema schedules are subject to change without prior notice.) TAURUS (APR. 20-MAY 20) You are ready to socialize before the day even begins. Although you may be tempted to stay home or get ready for some party and goof off from your responsibilities, you are actually in a good position to make much progress at work. You may shine in your particular job and find that practical insights come with ease. You could represent or speak for your company or communicate about your skills. It is interesting what a change in attitude will do for the day’s work. Juggling your time between career and domestic activities is a necessity now. Money does not buy what it used to and you may want to confer with a friend before you go on a shopping expedition later today. A different place to shop may give you better budgeting options. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEP.22) An important relationship, perhaps an older person or someone in authority, may come into focus today. There could be some tension or sense of opposition requiring compromise or negotiation on your part. There is an opportunity for understanding and even growth. Competition seems to spur you into achieving things you never thought you could accomplish. This afternoon you will be involved in some competitive activities at work-expect the highest achievements out of yourself. Teamwork is fun and you inspire others to achieve. You may be able to bring a group together with words or ideas that transport others. This evening you enjoy a favorite hobby, book review or perhaps an art show. Movies, books and all forms of escape could prove enjoyable.

Page 9 S usundan ang love story at tambalan nina Gerald Anderson at Cristine Reyes hindi dahil sa kilig nilang dalawa kundi dahil sa ganda ng istorya ng Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin na nagsimula nu’ng Lunes sa primetime ng ABS-CBN 2. Sa tunay na buhay ay may Maja Salvador si Gerald at may Derek Ramsay naman si Cristine pero seksi, mature at may sex appeal ‘pag mapapanood sila sa teleseryeng Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin. “I think, na-handle naman namin nang tama. Okey kami. I think, wala akong nakikitang mabigat sa aming dalawa,” bulalas ni Cristine sa presscon. Anong masasabi niya sa mga tumututol sa pagsasama nilang dalawa. “Well, it’s a good thing. Kasi, ibig sabihin, nagki-care sila kay Gerald, nagki-care sila sa akin. Para sa akin, it’s a good thing na pinapansin nila kami. I don’t see it in a negative way,” reaksyon ni AA. Kung walang Maja si Gerald, at wala naman siyang Derek, posible ba siyang ma-in love kay Gerald? “Ako kasi, hindi ako after sa looks, sa fame and all. After ako kung saan tatamaan ang puso ko. Alam n’yo naman lahat ‘yon, ‘di ba? Hellooo!!” dayalog ng sexy young actress. “Hindi, kasi hindi porke single ‘yung lalaki, attractive and all, eh magugustuhan na at maiinlab ka kaagad. Kumbaga, kailangan ‘yan ng ano eh, ng foundation, ‘yung parang tipong… alam mo ‘yon? May magic. ‘Yung gano’n. Hindi ka pa ba nainlab?” sey pa niya. At sa mga nakapanood sa advance preview ng bagong serye ng Dreamscape na “BNLKM” ay puro magaganda ang reviews na naririnig namin. Ang galing-galing daw ni Gerald at kakaiba ang kanyang role. Kahit matagal napanood si Ge after “Budoy” ay sulit naman ang paghihintay niya dahil sa bonggang proyekto ng Dreamscape. “Noong ginagawa na namin itong ‘Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin,’ we really had time na gawing quality ‘yung show. Siyempre ayaw naming ipalabas ‘yan ng basta-basta. Hindi ako nagtampo, hindi totoo ‘yun,” deklara niya dahil sa intriga na nainip siya dahil matagal siyang nabakante. By the way, magsisilbing tinik si Rayver Cruz sa romansa nina Gerald at Cristine sa BNLKM. Ang buong pagkakaalam niya ay siya ang original choice sa role niya sa ‘Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin’ Itinanggi rin ni AA na siya ang nag-request para ilagay si Rayver sa show at mawala si Joross Gamboa. Nagbiro tuloy si Gerald na siya ang nag-request na makasama si Rayver. May pasabog din si Rayver na mas sexy sila ni Dina Bonnevie sa serye kumpara kina Gerald at Cristine. “Kasi naman, sobrang ganda talaga ni Ms. D. Bumili nga ako ng FHM niya, eh!” rebelasyon pa ni Rayver. “Hanggang ngayon, nandu’n pa rin ‘yung sex appeal ni Ms. D,” sey ni Rayver na ang ibig niyang sabihin ay hot mama pa rin si Dina. Crush ba niya si Ms D? “Bumili nga ako ng FHM, eh!” bulalas pa niya. Pero hindi naman dapat lagyan ng malisya ang dalawa dahil magina ang role nina Rayver at Dina. Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataong nagkasama sila dahil nagkasama rin sila noon sa May Bukas Pa. • 8 BUSINESS Headline Gitnang Luzon SEPTEMBER 12, 2013 Can Angeles City trades adapt to climate change? By Charlene A. Cayabyab CLIMATE ADAPTATION. Jose Ma. Lorenzo Tan, CEO of WWF-Philippines, briefs Pampanga media during the Angeles City Scenario Building Exercises for Climate Change Adaptation held at Widus Resort, Clark Freeport, Mabalacat City. Joining him is Florendo Maranan, executive director of BPI foundation. The joint project is to undertake business risk assessment and management of climate change impacts studying 12 key cities in the Philippines. --Photo by Deng Pangilinan Construction for Bataan transport complex begins By Michael Cigaral BALANGA CITY -The New Bataan Terminal Complex in this city will have its groundbreaking and capsulelaying ceremonies on Friday. Bataan Governor Albert Garcia, Congressman Enrique Garcia, Jr. of the Second District and City Mayor Joet Garcia, along with the main contractor of the project, Wilbert Lee, will lead the ceremonies. Lee is the President of LKY Development Corporation, one of numerous companies of the LKY Group. Governor Garcia said that this common terminal will become an airport-like world-class facility wherein a hotel and a convention center will be located. Engr. Enrico Yuzon, Bataan Provincial Engineer, in a conference with the various transport group in the province said the project ANGELES CITY -- An environmental organization, along with a bank foundation, made a risk assessment that tackled envisioned possibilities and opportunities for the city within the context of climate change. The World Wide Fund for Nature-Philippines (WWF-Ph), together with the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Foundation, held the assessment through a scenario building exercise at Hotel Vida Tent here on Wednesday. The workshop/conference was attended by representatives from the government, the academe, business sector and other civic groups. The assessment aims to help city planners and decision-makers study any climate change impacts and then possibly identify opportunities that could arise and help in the development and sustainability of the city. “If we were to look at the situation of Angeles during calamities, it may be a major relocation or migration center in the next 30 years,” Jose Ma. Lorenzo Tan, chief executive officer of WWF-Ph, said. “Angeles does not suffer from massive flooding, unlike other nearby towns and municipalities – thus, it becomes a very attractive zone for migration for people who are affected by calamities,” Tan said adding that, with such knowledge, major stakeholders in the city must be ready to adapt and foresee possible businesses that can emerge in reaction to climate change. During the conference, the audience members were asked to participate in a scenario building exercise that viewed Angeles City 20 years hence while considering alternative futures that its citizens, enterprises and the local government must be prepared to deal with. Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan lauded WWF-PH and BPI in choosing Angeles as one of the 12 key areas identified by the said organizations in their climate change impacts project. “Angeles City holds a key role in the development in Central Luzon, and I believe it will truly benefit from this project from WWF and BPI as it looks into the possible opportunities that may arise not only in our city, but the rest of Pampanga, within the parameters set by climate change,” Pamintuan said. He added that measures are currently being undertaken by the local government, through its disaster council and other support agencies, in response to the phenomena, especially with the recent challenges posed by typhoons Labuyo and Maring. The results of the assessment will be consolidated and studied that would be once again presented to the major stakeholders and the government. The data would be valuable for the city’s planning and development for several years to come. ● costs P320,090,492.64. The other day, the LKY Group signed a huge project deal with the Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan (AFAB) that will develop the Freeport into a leisure hub and complete lifestyle community. The project at the FAB costs P300 million and covers almost 130,000-square meters of land for the redevelopment lease of the Freeport’s tourism facilities. ● 120 Fernandino farmers join livelihood training CITY OF SAN FERNANDO --Around 120 farmers from this city are bound to benefit from the 57th Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan Farmers Training of SM Foundation, Inc. (SMFI). “This aims to equip marginal farmers with modern technology including application of fertilizers, soil amendments, and the use of water-soluble products through an irrigation system,” SMFI Assistant Vice President Cristie Angeles said. In addition, it shall educate attendees on multicrop farming and in identifying high-value crops that can adapt and be planted in targeted farm areas. Angeles encouraged farmers to finish the 12week module since this will help them gain knowledge on the precise and effective ways of farming. In a message during the launch, Mayor Edwin Santiago assured the farmers of the city government’s continuous support in this endeavor. “One way of empowering farmers is by arming them with new technology because this will improve the quality of their harvest, as well as their productivity,” Santiago said. ● (PIA-3) Giligans now open at SM City Clark FOR SMARTPHONES & TABLETS!

Philippines bagged a total of 161 medals while China got a total of 153. In this city, Neil Joshua Patiag, a Grade 5 student from SPED-G, brought home a bronze medal. Rico Daniel Mercado, also in Grade 5 from CENTEX, and Alexandra Rafaelle Seva, who is just in Grade 4 of SPED-G, were awarded with medals of merit. This is a great year for Olongapo young math champs because just a few weeks ago another set of city students also won in the Hong Kong Mathematics Competition. “Kudos to all our young match champs together with your teachers and trainors. Kasama kami ng inyong mga magulang na tuwang-tuwa dahil nanalo kayo sa math competition na ito,” Olongapo City Mayor Rolen Paulino said. ● AID FARMERS from Page 1 FLIGHT SCHEDULE Clark International Airport MONDAY OPERATOR FLIGHT NO.

Labung is also urging CIAC president Victor Jose Luciano to hold a dialogue with the farmers to, once and for all, settle the issues surrounding their status and impending eviction. Moreover, Labung is asking the CIAC management to give the farmers “human consideration” in light of the Court of Appeals deci- sion on their eviction. “Nakikiusap ang ating farmers na hayaan silang makapasok sa compound upang makapagtinda ng kanilang produkto sa mga gustong bumili,” Labung said. Earlier, First District Board Member Crisostomo Garbo asked the Provincial Board (PB)’s Committee on Agriculture and Committee on Human Rights to look into the concerns of some 208 farmers planting various crops inside the Clark Freeport. During the regular session of the PB at Capitol, Garbo disclosed that the farmers had allegedly been “encountering problems with CDC policies and restrictions.” He added that the farmers are seeking the intervention of the PB on their plight. ● DUAL AIRPORT from Page 1 our Philippine airports,” the 14-member AOC said in a statement during a visit at the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC). “The AOC and the Airline Industry are very excited about recent developments in government to pursue this principle. There is no question that the runway system in Clark is far more capable of handling numerous inbound and outbound aircraft.” “We are hopeful though that a new passenger terminal would soon turn into reality to encourage our members to schedule regular flights into and out of Clark,” the group said. At the same time, CIAC President and CEO Victor Jose I. Luciano informed the AOC officers and members that Emirates Airlines will commence their non-stop daily flights via Dubai- Clark-Dubai on October 1, while Qatar Airways via Doha-Clark-Doha daily flights will begin October 28, 2013. Luciano said that Emirates and Qatar will have the chance to attract passengers in Northern Luzon that will link them to the rest of the Middle East especially Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who are mostly residing in the North. He also said that Emirates and Qatar will also bring European and Arab tourists to visit Clark and the rest of the Philippines. The AOC also said “we would like to take this opportunity to express optimism in the light of the regular flights to and from Clark initiated by two airline members, Emirates and Qatar.” AOC Chairman Florante Isidro also expressed confidence that Clark Air- port will play a major role in the aviation industry saying that “there is room for growth (Clark) and everything is here.” Florante said that “he was impressed by the developments at the Clark Airport particularly the on-going construction of the P360 million Phase 2 expansion of the Passenger Terminal.” The expansion of the Passenger Terminal is expected to be completed by the end of September in time for the operations of Emirates and Qatar in October. The facility will further increase passenger capacity to 5 million annually. In 2012, Clark Airport recorded 1.3 million passengers compared to the previous of more than 600,000 passengers since operating international flights in 2003. ● Nueva Ejica, 1,903; Pampanga, 1,715; Tarlac,1,286; Bataan, 838; Aurora, 468; and Zambales, 401.

Text by Aubrey Sembrano The Cuban revolutionary and Poet José Martí once said that a legacy in this world means writing a book, having a child and planting a tree. I have yet to fulfill the first two, this article is about the last. I am writing about something which, I believe, will be a legacy for my future child-planting a tree. We have long depended on these sturdy and beautiful creations, yet we have often neglected them for the longest time. If you ask how many people are familiar or have seen the majestic trees of Mother Earth, chances are, you will get an overwhelming majority of “yes” answer. Try asking how many have tried planting one and figure out how slim the response will be. Last Saturday, The Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas or KBP once again spearheaded a project that is for the next generation to appreciate and enjoy. Called “Oplan: Broadcastreeing”, it is a nationwide simultaneous tree planting project of the KBP. Headed by KBP Pampanga Chapter Chairman Fernando R. Pangan, with the help of all local government and non-government agencies, KBP has successfully planted 2,000 bamboo seedlings in Barangays Apalit and Consuelo in Floridablanca town on its third year of dedication in building a better world, aptly themed “Urban Greening Project.” Bamboos are one of the fastest-growing plants in the world and the sturdiest of them all. Planting entailed a lot of sacrifice. By 7 a.m. of that Saturday (September 7), every participant from diverse groups who pledged support like the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Community Environment and Natural Resources Office ( CENRO); Department of Interior and Local Government Region 3 (DILG); Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO); North Luzon Command (NOLCOM) of the Philippine Army; St. Jude Bikers Club; 1st Air Defense Wing, 355 Aviation Engineering Wing- Philippine Air Force; SM City Clark; RW 95.1 FM; CLTV 36; GVFM 99.1; GV AM 792, Jollibee and Aqua Sparkletts were already raring to go, bamboo seedlings at hand. Our own little contribution in the fight against Global Warming took close to four hours under the intense heat of the sun. However, despite the early morning call time, the sweat, the long trek, the labor that we had to do, everybody went home with a certain sense of pride and ownership. A feeling that, somehow, we have paid it forward to Mother Nature--in our own little way. These may not compensate for the wanton damage man has wrought Nature but efforts like these, baby steps as they may seem, are certainly right on track in the re-greening of our environment, one plant at a time. A little kindness won’t be too much to ask for all the benefits trees have given us. It is payback time for them and it’s high time for us to do so. Kudos to all the participants! And Congratulations to the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas on your 40th Anniversary! Cheers! ● DWRW staff do their share in saving the environment. CENRO Rommel Santiago leads the way, with radio broadcaster Alberto “Boy” Santiago and Rotarians. The banners say it all.
