CARREON, CESE, Chief, Public Information Office Tel. No. 929-3244, 927-9702 Loc.131; Cell phone: 09159111585 _________________________________________________________________________ BARANGAY CAPTAIN BUSTED FOR PEDDLING SHABU IN COTABATO A 33-year-old barangay captain was arrested by operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) after he sold methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu to a poseur-buyer in Cotabato City on November 18, 2016. PDEA Director General Isidro S. Lapeña identified the suspect as Bimbo Abdulmanan Diolanen, married, an incumbent barangay chairman and resident of Purok 2, Mabini Interior, Bagua 3, Cotabato City. An operative of PDEA Regional Office-Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (PDEA RO-ARMM) under Director Edgar Apalla, acted as poseur-buyer and entered into a transaction with Diolanen to facilitate the sale of one plastic sachet of shabu. They agreed to meet in his own barangay in Mabini Interior at around 6:00 in the morning. Upon receiving the buy-bust money, the barangay captain was immediately arrested by PDEA RO-ARMM agents who were strategically positioned. Seized during the operation were 10 plastic sachets of white crystalline substance suspected to be shabu, weighing approximately 20 grams, with an estimated street value of P100,000, one cal. 45 Springfield Armory pistol containing one magazine loaded with two pieces of ammunition, one homemade shotgun loaded with four pieces of ammunition. Diolanen is an elected barangay kagawad since 2007 and assumed the barangay chieftain’s position in 2016 as the incumbent barangay chairman then, won as City Councilor in the last election. Two months ago, he presented himself before the PDEA RO-ARMM office to clear his name in the illegal drug trade but allegedly continued his illegal drug activity that led to his eventual arrest. Diolanen will be facing charges for violation of Section 5 (Sale of Dangerous Drugs) and Section 11 (Possession of Dangerous Drugs), Article II of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. A separate case for violation of RA 10591, or The Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Act, will also be filed against him. He is presently under the custody of PDEA RO-ARMM. The same day at around 1:00 in the morning, operatives of PDEA RO12 under Director Lyndon Aspacio conducted an entrapment operation inside a pension house along Tiongson Street, Barangay Lagao, General Santos City which resulted in the arrest of Rowel Quintanilla y Quiapo, 47, a former Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW); and his 17-year-old male cohort. Confiscated from the duo were four plastic sachets of suspected shabu, weighing more or less two grams worth P15,000. Cases for violation of Sections 5 and 11 of RA 9165 await the arrested suspect. Quintanilla is temporarily detained at PDEA RO12 jail facility while the minor will be turned over to the City’s Social Welfare and Development Office. # # # .

Through a biographical research design, with purposive sampling, a key female informant named as Lady L was chosen with the sole criteria of being a female Barangay Captain of Cebu City. Interview guides were utilized in the generation of Lady L’s biographic information about her political career.Lady L’s experiences in waiting for the perfect time and working in the private sector destined her to have a successful political career enhanced with passion and family influence. Encountering problems concerning basic education and unwanted migrants in Barangay K did not discourage her choice to run for re-election, because of her dedication to public service.

  • Community-Based Disaster Risk Management in the Philipines
    Forschungswerkstatt Research Workshop Community-Based Disaster Risk Management in the Philip- pines: Achievements and Challenges of the Purok System Angelina Matthies ► Matthies, A. (2017). Community-based disaster risk management in the Philippines: Achievements and challenges of the purok system. Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies, 10(1), 101-108. The purok system in the Philippines is promoted as a voluntary self-organization at the sub-village level which strengthens community resilience to natural hazards. In 2011, the system received the UN Sasakawa Award and gained prominence among the practitio- ner community. Based on a qualitative study in the municipality of San Francisco (Cebu province) from December 2014 to March 2015, the article elaborates on the achievements and challenges of the purok system. Striking merits encompass efficient and effective- in formation dissemination and evacuation measurements between all levels of political ad- ministration that stem from the system’s remarkable enforcement of human and social capital. This is underpinned by a clear determination of roles and responsibility that is subsumed under the concept of accountability. However, the purok system faces inter- nal challenges of maintenance and implies profound conceptual ambiguities regarding the notion of voluntarism and capabilities that favor clientelism. Nevertheless, the pu- rok system clearly distinguishes itself from conventional community-based disaster risk management practices and implies potentials that are highly beneficial for strengthening resilience in disaster prone areas. Keywords: Community-Based Disaster Risk Management; Purok System; Resilience; Social Capital; Voluntarism INTRODUCTION Due to its geographic location as well as its socio-economic conditions, the Phil- ippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world and ranks third www.seas.at doi 10.14764/10.ASEAS-2017.1-7 www.seas.at out of 171 countries in the World Risk Report 2016 (Welle & Birkmann, 2016, p.

  • “Proud of My Purok” – Building Stronger Communities Together
    “Proud of my Purok” – building stronger communities together A comprehensive approach to reduce disaster risk in which care for people and nature go hand in hand The Philippines are known as “a supermarket of disasters” Multiple times a year, severe tropical storms and typhoons hit the Philippines. Fortunately, the population is very resilient. After each disaster, they reconstruct their lives with creative solutions. But due to climate change and increasing pressure on ecosystems, the number of natural disasters and their impact are only expected to increase. Destruction after T yphoon Bopha (December 2012). Bopha was the strongest tropical cyclone to ever hit the southern Philippine island of Mindanao. Working together to better protect communities against disasters through preparedness & prevention Unfortunately we cannot prevent disastrous typhoons like the ones we have seen in recent years, but we can minimize their impact. Degradation of forests and wetlands erodes nature’s ability to regulate floods, droughts and storms. Therefore, to reduce the chance and impact of disasters, we have to address both the risks at community level as well as the effects of ecosystem degradation, contributing to these risks. For that reason the Netherlands Red Cross, CARE and Wetlands International joined forces in 2011 to work together on strengthening and protecting vulnerable communities. By both investing in restoration and sustainable management of ecosystems as well as in disaster preparedness, we do not only save lives but also money. With every euro invested in preparedness and prevention, we can save 5-10 euro on emergency aid and recovery! With support from the Dutch Postcode Lottery we work together on strengthening 150 puroks on Mindanao The coming three years, with support from the Dutch Postcode Lottery, we will work together with the 35.000 inhabitants of 150 local communities (puroks) situated in in the Agusan river basin on disaster prevention and preparedness.
