Graduating high school stude shot dead after selling brooms by Liza Agoot TABUK CITY, Kalinga – He went to the city to sell their broom products to have money for his graduation but he was not able to attend the last phase of his high school life. Leo Legaspi, 16 years old and a resident of Uma, Lubuagan, was shot to death by two still unidentified persons at about 11:30 p.m. of March 27 at Moldero Street, Bulanao here. Legaspi sustained two gun shoot wounds from a still unidentified firearm on different parts of his body. Kalinga police provincial director S/Supt. Arni Dean Emock said that the incident is isolated and should not in any way be related to previous incidents in the province, although they are monitoring the incident to prevent possible escalation to tribal war. Congressman Manuel Agyao, who comes from the municipality of Lubuagan, said that they are following up the incident and has asked the police to invite the other person who was with the victim when the incident happened. Agyao said that it was unfortunate because the victim could be the answer to the progress of his family. “Ag-gradwar isuna ti high school. Napan laeng aglaku iti sagad tapnu ada kwarta na nga usaren na ti graduation na,” Agyao said. He added the speculation that the previous incident involving the hold up incident of a relative of a barangay official in Tabuk is the cause of the death of the teenager. “I doubt nga isu iti puun ken gapu na ta nalpas met nga nagsasau dagidiay partidos idiay nga insidente,” the congressman said. He said that issues involving violation of the law should be brought to the court, for it to be recognized. He said, “issues involving the tribes should be settled by the court.” Custom Search Other news :: Kalinga–Abra road impassable since being cut by ’07 typhoon :: Bridge connecting Tabuik to Kalinga towns to be replaced :: PDCC–Kalinga holds disast Source: http://www.baguiomidlandcourier.com.ph/kalinga.asp?mode=archives/2009/april/4-5-2009/kal1.txt |

170 rebel returnees to get gov’t economic assistance by Gigi Dumallig / PIA TABUK, Kalinga –The 170 unassisted rebel returnees from the different municipalities of the province will soon be receiving their P20,000 each as immediate economic assistance from the government’s Social Integration Program (SIP). According to provincial social welfare and development officer Digna Dalutag, this undertaking is a realization of the government’s commitment for reconciliation and healing as a key towards the achievement of peace and development in the country. The immediate economic assistance aims to assist former rebels who surrendered before March 23, 2008 and were not able to get financial assistance from the government’s previous amnesty program. This, Dalutag said, was made possible through Administrative Order 172 promulgated by Pres. Gloria Arroyo, ensuring that funds are allocated for the current SIP and to also look into the problems of previous amnesty program grantees. Through said EO, the government increased remuneration for surrendered firearms, explosives, and ammunition and these are available for those who surrendered starting March 23, 2008. Under the current SIP, surrenderees from said date onwards will have the privilege to be given livelihood assistance of P50,000 in terms of goods or materials such as livestock or grocery items for those planning to put up a small business and compensation for each surrendered firearm. Said assistance will be given after the completion of training and livelihood skills development to be conducted by partner agencies. Said undertaking is a comprehensive effort of partner agencies spearheaded by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process with the local government units, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, and Armed Forces of the Philippines. In a recent development, Pres. Gloria Arroyo reaffirmed her administration’s strong commitment to put an end to insurgency by 2010 when she welcomed some 18 former rebels who gave up their arm struggle in Pampang assuring them that their decision will not be in vain. She called on to them to work hand-in-hand with the government for the welfare of their families and the nation.] Source: http://www.baguiomidlandcourier.com.ph/kalinga.asp?mode=archives/2009/april/4-19-2009/kal1.txt |

CSC steps up campaign versus red tape projects by Peter Balocnit / PIA TABUK, Kalinga – The Civil Service Commission-Kalinga Field Office (CSC-KFO) is stepping up the implementation of the anti-red tape project and is assisting local government units in formulating their citizens’ charters that would guide people on how to quickly avail of frontline government services at the community level. Ruthgail Balagso, senior personnel specialist of CSC-KFO, said the citizens’ charter is a document that contains relevant information on the frontline services and goods provided by LGUs to its citizens and serves as the standard of their delivery of these services and goods to the public. She said that as far as the Comprehensive and Unified Response to Eliminate Red Tape or CURE project is concerned, Apayao province and its seven municipalities have already complied and are on their final stage of enhancing the delivery of basic services to people, particularly at the level of LGUs. Balagso said Kalinga’s charter is on final review while Pinukpuk is preparing one. “An orientation on CURE was conducted in Rizal on May 14 – 15. We are waiting other municipalities’ request for an orientation about the project.” She said this project includes agencies of government to identify their top 20 frontline services to be printed on bulletin boards or tarpaulin, or posted or hung in front of their respective offices. “The citizens’ charter includes steps or procedures of transaction, time frame, and responsible person in order to guide public clients on how to get the service they want,” Balagso said. The Department of the Interior and Local Government is also closely monitoring the compliance of LGUs with this project. The project, which is the Department’s response to the provisions stated under the Anti-Red Tape Law of 2007 or Republic Act 9485, also seeks to prevent graft and corruption at the local level. The CURE project, which is being carried out in tandem with other government agencies like the Office of the Ombudsman, aims to improve the efficiency of LGUs in their delivery of basic public goods and services to the public through the elimination of red tape practices. On top of crafting the citizens’ charter, Project CURE also intends to familiarize LGUs on the provisions of the anti-red tape law; improve the existing systems and procedures of delivering frontline services at the local level; and provide venues for the enforcement of the law through citizens’ feedbacks and development of community-level alliances with anti-corruption watchdogs.

Solon gives P3 M worth of books to DepEd–Kalinga by Gigi Dumallig / PIA Source: http://www.baguiomidlandcourier.com.ph/kalinga.asp?mode=archives/2009/june/6-7-2009/kal1.txt =========================================================== In his commitment to improve the quality of education in the province, Kalinga congressman Manuel Agyao gave P3 million worth of books to the Department Education Kalinga Division last May 29 at the Bulanao Pastoral Center. DepEd Kalinga supply officer Elvira Bawagan said that DepEd through the supplier Vicarish Publication and Trading delivered 10,360 books to Kalinga. Said books were made available through the Priority Development Assistance Fund of the congressman directly allocated to DepEd for the provision of the needed book supply for the pre-school, primary and secondary schools in the province. In his speech du-ring the turnover of books, the solon underscored the significant role of teachers in attaining quality education. “In the learning process, a book is just a waste without the guidance, dedication and persistence of teachers to educate their students,” he said stressing that is the responsibility of the teacher to adopt strategies to enhance the learning process, like adjusting to the level of their students. He also emphasized the need to change the attitude of some teachers citing the common observation and problem of absenteeism among public school teachers. In support to the development of education in Kalinga, the congressman reported that out of the 32 bills, several bills on the conversion of school annexes to national high school status in the province are now in the Senate for the third reading. He hopes for their approval anytime soon. First to be approved during his term was the Naneng National High School of Tabuk City. The congressman has also allocated for scholarships under the National Commission on Indigenous People, Commission on Higher Education, and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority. He said Kalinga has also received the highest allocation for teaching items this year with 21 new positions. He was able to solicit three school buildings through personal efforts. Two of these were committed by the president of the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and another building from a private contractor. These are aside from the school buildings committed by the DepEd national office. |
