    26 FEBRUARY 2021, FRIDAY Headline STRATEGIC February 26, 2021 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 2 Opinion Page Feature Article The woman behind the decorated general By: Jonathan Vicente INQUIRER.net / 08:30 PM February 25, 2021 Mrs. Fe Aguillon-Cimatu with the former military general, Environment Sec. Roy A. Cimatu. File photo courtesy of Mrs. Fe’s colleagues in the AFP Generals’ Wives organization MANILA, Philippines — As the old saying “behind every successful man is a supportive woman” proves to be true, what more if she’s a strong-willed wife out to support her husband 100 percent? Mrs. Fe Aguillon-Cimatu, a supportive woman, was not always a shadow to her husband Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, a former general and chief-of-staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Fe would always be a woman who proved she can make a difference; she can make change. Fe, affectionately known as Ma’am Fe, was not just an ordinary housewife. She was the good woman of the house she built all through the years with her better half. Fe, a native of San Jose, Antique, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2021, leaving a big hole in the heart of the former general. Born on April 22, 1948, Fe was a very responsible and caring individual especially to her own family. She brought this wonderful trait to her marriage with Cimatu. Hands-on as she was known, Fe even took charge of their wedding. She was her own wedding planner. The then-general groom-to-be was still in Marawi for a military operation four days before their wedding date.

  • 20 Century Ends
    New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency.

  • Food Distribution Policy for Typhoon Victims in the Philippines by Shella
    Page | 61 Food Distribution Policy for Typhoon Victims in the Philippines Shella Gayle B. Billano, Gerard Cortez, Ojay D. L. Santos, … Maria Elena Yabut-Timbang, and Brian C. Gozun I. Introduction According to the World Risk Report of 2012, the Philippines ranked third out of 173 countries, based on exposure to hazards. Disasters can strike anytime, anywhere. It can cause irrevocable damage to life and property if the right measures are not put in place. This can also bring out the best and the worst in human nature. The manner in which action is taken in response to the crisis goes a long way in determining how people would fare from the experience (COA, 2014). Food Distribution Policy for Typhoon Victims Typhoon for Policy Distribution Food Supertyphoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda, that wreaked havoc in the Visayas region of the Philippines last November 8, 2013, highlighted the huge gaps in distributing the relief goods to the victims during the most crucial phase of the first 90 days of recovery. There are numerous lessons to be learned from the disastrous results of Supertyphoon Yolanda. One is time, which is the most essential element in disaster response. Second is preparedness, followed by proper coordination. Finally, there is a need to clearly delineate the job descriptions of those who should be in charge to avoid the overlapping of roles as it creates problem in coordination, leading to delays in disaster response. Cabinet Secretary Jose Rene Almendras emphasized the enormity of struggle in immediately responding to the food needs of the disaster survivors.
