‘P4B shared by
Makati execs’
MANILA: At least P4 billion from 10 infrastructure projects that the Makati City government awarded to a
favored contractor between 1999 and 2014 went to
city officials and resident auditors as kickbacks, according to former Makati Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado. The
10 projects awarded to Hilmarc’s Construction Corp.
cost the taxpayers of Makati at least P15
billion, said Mercado, a witness in a
Senate blue ribbon subcommittee
investigation of alleged irregularities in
the Makati government during the
term of Vice President Jejomar Binay as
city mayor. “Twenty-eight percent from every project
was shared by the mayor down to the lowest official in
the web involved in the conspiracy,” Mercado told the
Inquirer in an interview in his office in Makati. Mercado
said 13 percent of the 28-percent kickback went to
Binay while he was mayor of Makati.
The remaining 15 percent went to others-the vice
mayor, 16 members of the city council, the city council secretary, members of the the bids and awards
committee (BAC), the city engineer, members of the
technical working group (TWG), department heads,
two sectoral representatives (a barangay chair and
the Sangguninang Kabataan chair) and resident
Commission on Audit (COA) auditors. —Inquirer.net

Health workers padala ng Manila sa Ebola-hit W Africa
MANILA: Magpapadala ng maraming health workers
ang Pilipinas sa West Africa upang tumulong labanan
ang patuloy na paglala ng Ebola virus. Ayon kay
Health Secretary Enrique Ona noong Biyernes,
nakiusap ang Estados Unidos at United Kingdom
upang maagapan ang patuloy na pagdami ng mga
kaso ng Ebola virus. Sinabi ni Ona maraming qualified
health workers sa bansa ang kailangang-kailangan ng
West Africa sa ngayon.
Nanawagan na rin ang United Nations sa mundo sa
mabilisang pagresponde at tulong na kailangan ngayon dahil sa patuloy na paglala ng epidemya. Umabot
na ngayon sa kulang-kulang apat na libong katao ang
namamatay sa Ebola sa pagpasok lamang ng taong
2014. “I think it is also something of a responsibility for
our country... to respond to that global call for assistance,” sabi ni Ona sa joint news conference ng World
Health Organization Western Pacific director Shin
Young-soo na ginanap sa Manila kamakailan.
“We (Philippine officials) are meeting on this issue
and should be able to make a firm decision... maybe in
a week or so.”
Dagdag ni Ona, inaasahang magbibigay ng final
go-signal si Pnagulong Aquino pagdating nito mula sa
kanyang pagbisita sa Indonesia. Binanggit ni Shin na
isa ang Pilipinas sa mga inaasahang bansa na magpapadala ng kanilang health workers bilang ganti na rin
ng bansa sa pagtulong ng mundo matapos silang
hagupitin ng Bagyong Haiyan (Yolanda) noong
nakaraang taon. Magugunitang dumating sa Pilipinas
ang mga malalaking barko ng ibat-ibang bansa dala
ang tulong upang maibangon ang mga nasalantang
kababayan sa Tacloban. Tumulong ang Asia-Pacific
countries kabilang ang mga medics mula sa China,
nagbigay din ng financial support ang Australia, South
Korea, Japan, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia at marami
pang iba!
“The human resources that may be needed (may)
not necessarily be working only in the Ebola-affected
facilities,” dagdag ni Ona. “(There) may also be workers
needed, for example, in public health, or taking care of
hospitals where the usual non-Ebola patients go.” Nagalok na rin ng tulong pinansyal ang bansang Englatera
na magiging suweldo ng mga health workers mula sa
Pilipinas.
Ayon kay Ona mayroon nang higit kumulang 3,000
Pinoy health workers sa worst-hit Guinea, Liberia kabilang ang Sierra Leone at 150 Pilipino ang kasalukuyan
ngayong naglilingkod bilang peacekeepers sa ilalim
ng United Nations command sa Liberia.

scheduled 3-game series 2725 -2479 and step forward from fifthto
fouth position while the Pin Killer plunged deeper. The 5-man team
of Dollarco were Blanca Mercado, rocky Castil, Cris Carungay, Lito
Mercado, Maricel Montero and reygan Percy while the losers were
Donovan Connor, Greg Melancon, Jelyn Colegio and Jenny Ganot.
Ahmadi King Pin took the advantage and silenced the encumber
Cozmo team in their 3-game encounter that resulted to 2855-2536
and leaped from ninth to sixth rank while Cozmo left hanging on
the eight position. The energized Kings were Jess de Vera (590),
Norlan Balasan (562), Jess Tolentino (511) and rashid Akher Ali (500)
and Fe Ferrer on her below par performance. The four courageous
Cozmo guys were Noe Mahayag (591), Jun Husmillo (501), Aris de

Mayweather-Pacquiao tiff will happen, Floyd Sr vows
MANILA: The biggest fight that the world
wants to see might happen next year.
Floyd Mayweather Sr. told Fighthype.com
on Wednesday (Thursday Manila time) that
his son might have Filipino boxing icon
Manny Pacquiao as his 49th opponent in the
pro ranks.
“Man, I’m pretty sure that if nothing else
happen, he’s gonna get Pacquiao...it’s gonna
happen. That fight’s gonna happen. Trust
me,” Mayweather, Sr. told Fighthype.com’s
Ben Thompson.
“You mark my words and we’ll see. And it
needs to happen. Just like Ali and Joe Frazier,
or Ali and George Foreman, something like
that, man, it’s one of those fights like that,”
he added.
With two fights left in his Showtime contract, Floyd Jr. has yet to announce his next
opponent after disposing Marcos Maidana
for the second time.
Mayweather, Jr, who currently holds a 470-record with 26 knockouts is expected to
fight in May 2015. His father believes all
signs are pointing to a Pacquiao fight after
that provided that the eight-division world
champion takes care of his business.
The rumored mega fight was all the more
fanned by the news of Top rank and
Showtime in negotiation to stage pay-perview fights together.
Pacquiao, who is under Bob Arum’s Top
rank promotions, is set to fight American
challenger Chris Algieri on Nov. 22 in Macau.
If he wins, Pacquiao might finally end up taking a megabuck bout against the unbeaten
Mayweather, Jr.
“Well, it might be number 49. Floyd’s
gonna kick his little ass,” added the elder
Mayweather, who maintained that his son
would pick Pacquiao apart. The outspoken
trainer thinks Pacquiao does not stand a
chance to give his son his first loss.
“He’s tailor-made to eat the right hand all
day long. You gotta remember, Pacquiao is a
southpaw. He’s a southpaw and Floyd is
right-handed, so he’ll eat right hands and
left hooks all night, and more than likely, he
will be going to sleep again. Believe me,” Floyd Mayweather Sr. is confident that the much-awaited fight between his son
Mayweather, Sr. said. —The Philippine Star
and Manny Pacquiao will happen.
