2018 JULY Killing Mayors The League of Municipalities of the (LMP) has requested a dialogue with President following the deadly attacks on two mayors this week. Several local officials on that list have been killed in the President’s brutal war on drugs.

Mayors want to talk it out with Duterte “The mayors on the list fear for their lives. I pity them. They told me, ‘Mayor, we are not involved in drugs. Why are we on the list?’” said Brondial, mayor of Socorro, Oriental Mindoro province. The League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) on Wednesday condemned what it called “premeditated killings” of Tanauan City, , Mayor Antonio Halili on Monday and of General Tinio, , Mayor Ferdinand Bote on Tuesday and demanded the overhaul of drug watch lists, which, it said, may have put the lives of local officials in harm’s way. To protect the lives of local officials, Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, LCP president, said the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency should “follow due process when it validates, adjudicates and revalidates . . . [the] government’s narcolist so officials [could] be given the chance to clear their names.” A sniper, firing from a grassy knoll 150 meters away, felled Halili during flag-raising rites in front of City Hall in Tanauan. Bote was being driven out of the National Irriga- tion Administration office in Cabanatuan City on Tuesday afternoon when two motorcycle-riding men drove up to his vehicle’s side and pumped five bullets into him, killing him outright. Halili was on the President’s list, but he denied involvement in the illegal drug trade. KILLING MAYORS continued on page 8 Sold for Noodles Activists blast China bullying of Filipino fishermen Sovereignty for noodles?

MANILA - Activist groups slammed Chinese coast guard personnel who confiscated the catch of Filipino fishermen at Scarborough Shoal in exchange for noodles and cigarettes. Chairperson Gloria “Ka Bea” Arellano of Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap particularly criticized the comments made by Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque in justifying the Chinese authorities’ actions in taking the catch of Filipino fishermen in exchange for instant noodles. Philippines rank low in Peace Index “Hindi pinaglaban ng mga bayani gaya ni Bonifacio ang ating kalayaan para lamang isuko ang ating teritoryo at makuntento ang mahihirap sa noodles. Duterte still Popular despite Rising Prices Patunay lamang na wala pa ring tunay na kalayaan at demokrasya,” Arellano said in a statement. Another group, the Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Most Pinoys oppose Same sex Marriage Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas, said the confiscation of fishermen’s catch shows that China has completely taken control not only the Philippines’ marine territory VP Robredo to ask MFI’s to help but also its rich resources. “We condemn China in the strongest terms possible. Poor Communities They have no single right to occupy our in the first place, much more to bully our Filipino fishers by grabbing the fish they caught,” Fernando Hicap, the group’s chairperson, said. He added: “Duterte’s consistent defeatist stand on Fans will leave if Ken Chan is killed in show the sea row has given China a full guarantee that they can do whatever they want inside our territory, even violating the rights and freedom of Filipino fishers to Why would Filipino fishermen need to secure permission sail in our traditional fishing grounds.” SOLD FOR NOODLES from China to fish in their own sea - VP LENI ROBREDO continued on page 26 1 2018 1 2 2018 2 Beauty Gonzalez appears Fans clamor for Ky- in Kapuso show weeks lie-Ruru teamup after meeting with GMA-7 is back to acting as the latest addition in the cast of GMA-7’s hit prime- Honey Shot executive time thriller, “The Cure”.
