Atty. Mona Liza Arriba-Juarez of the CDA- Central Office disclosed that over a thousand individuals representing various federations, unions, primary cooperatives and cooperative development councils participated in the consultations held in all regions throughout the country. Arriba-Juarez presented the summary of the outcome of the regional consultations conducted by the CDA. She said that majority of the participants support the establishment of an apex organization of cooperatives and have articulated their recommendations regarding the organization’s powers and functions, sources and administration of funds, membership requirements, and other aspects of the organization. CDA Administrator Mercedes Castillo, however, noted that an apex organization of cooperatives can exist through self- organization among the cooperatives themselves. Pleased with the positive outcome of the regional consultations conducted by the CDA, Rep. Geron said it will provide the Committee a useful reference in crafting a piece of legislation that will either amend existing laws or craft a new one, all for the benefit of the cooperative sector.

Earlier, Rep. Rosanna "Ria" Vergara (3rd District, Nueva Ecija), principal author of HR 1505, denounced the absence of the quarry operators and barangay officials in the Province of Nueva Ecija who were invited to comment on the allegation of rampant corruption and irregularities in the collection and distribution of taxes and fees on quarrying operations in the province. Rep. Vergara 2 Continuation… surmised that these resource persons may Good have been “coerced” by some quarters not to Government and attend the Committee’s hearing. Public Accountability Rep. Arnolfo "Arnie" Teves Jr. (3rd District, Negros Oriental), co-author of HR 1505, also raised similar issues involving quarry operations in his district since the start of this inquiry. He showed a picture he took on May 16, 2018 of two ongoing quarry operations in his district and asked the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) of Negros Oriental for comments. PENRO head Viernov Grefalde confirmed that the mining companies involved are violating environmental laws as well as the cease and desist order (CDO) issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in August 2016. Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo, however, stated that the CDO has already been lifted through an Office Order issued by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of Region VII on March 2, 2018. EMB Region VII Regional Director William Cuñado affirmed having lifted the CDO but that the order pertains to the compliance of quarry operators with the required rehabilitation of the quarry site and not about allowing them to continue with their operations. Rep. Teves likewise inquired on the validity of local environmental clearance certificates (LECCs) being issued by the Provincial Government of Nueva Ecija in lieu of the environmental compliance certificate (ECC) being issued by the DENR to allow mining operations. DENR Assistant Secretary Nonita Caguioa said that the Environmental Impact Statement System Law (PD 1586) requires an ECC for any environmentally-critical project, such as sand and gravel quarry operations. Aside from an ECC, quarry operators are still required to secure quarry permits from the concerned local government unit (LGU) pursuant to the Local Government Code (RA 7160), Caguioa said. Former Nueva Ecija Governor Aurelio Umali said that he and his wife, Nueva Ecija Governor Czarina Umali, have already filed a petition for declaratory relief from the court citing conflicting interpretations of Sections 43 and 46 of the revised implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of RA 7160. Rep. Reynaldo Umali (2nd District, Oriental Mindoro) opined that the legal remedy availed of by the incumbent and former Nueva Ecija Governors is proper saying that the courts are empowered to settle differing interpretations of the law.

  • Philippine Prison Spectacles After Web 2.01
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 9, No 4 (2014) Performing the Postcolonial: Philippine Prison Spectacles after Web 2.01 Áine Mangaoang St. Patrick’s College Dublin City University On June 27, 2009 within ten hours of the breaking news of Michael Jackson’s death, prison security official Byron F. Garcia arranged for a music and dance tribute to the King of Pop; this tribute was to be performed by over 1500 prisoners in front of a live audience of tourists and media corporations in the exercise yard of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Centre in the Philippines. Neatly dressed in identical bright orange prison jumpsuits with feet moving in matching black and white Chuck Taylor sneakers, the inmates danced to a ten-minute medley of Jackson’s hits – “Ben,” “I’ll Be There,” and “We are the World” – piped through the prison loudspeakers, with such precision and passion that one would be forgiven for thinking one was watching a professional, if slightly unorthodox, Broadway musical. Such a feat might have gone unnoticed by international media in the turbulent wake of Jackson’s death, if not for the fact that these prisoners were already internet stars who became bona fide internet celebrities following their 2007 YouTube interpretation of Michael Jackson’s 1982 epic music-video Thriller. With over fifty million views to date, the inmate performers – known as the “Dancing Inmates” of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Centre (CPDRC) – have since received attention from an array of mainstream news conglomerates (including Al Jazeera; BBC; CNN), independent DIY bloggers, and more recently, from academia.

Cimatu (RTVM / MANILA BULLETIN) This was part of the DENR’s response to a letter sent by the office of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno last Sept. 7, seeking the agency’s clarification on the safety of dolomite to public health. In his response dated Sept. 8, Cimatu pointed out that beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and increase beach width. Beach nourishment, he explained, should be applied in Manila Bay because “Manila Bay is not considered prone to coastal erosion as it is mostly protected by seawalls, but the beaches are very narrow.” He cited that under the writ of continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court on Dec. 18, 2016, a marching order was given to 13 government agencies, including the DENR to spearhead the clean up, rehabilitation, and preservation of Manila Bay “to make it more suitable for swimming, skin diving, and other forms of contact recreation and for protection of coastal communities.” “After dredging and clean up of the Bay, it was agreed upon by members of the different agencies involved in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay that the initial beach nourishment in Manila Bay will be applied in segment between the area fronting the US Embassy and the Manila Yacht Club to mimic a sort of a ‘pocket beach,’ the northern portion protected by the compound of the US Embassy and the south side sheltered by the Mall of Asia compound,” the letter read.
