Palace to make sure Ebola
does not spread in PH
MANILA: Keeping up with the world’s fight against
the Ebola virus, Malacanang yesterday said that it
would do what it takes to ensure that the
Philippines would remain free from the deadly disease.
In an interview with government-run radio station, dzRB Secretary Herminio Coloma of the
Presidential Communications Operations Office,
said that the government was ready for the possibility that a person or persons entering the country
could be carrying the virus.
“The government has strengthened and has better implemented the effective defensive measures
against Ebola,” Coloma said. “We need to undertake
such measures to make sure that we would not be
affected or the deadly virus would not spread here
in the country.”
The Department of Health on Wednesday has
prepared P500 million in its fight against the disease. Coloma said in a Senate budget hearing that
the budget would be taken from the quick response
fund of the DOH.
Coloma said Filipinos who would come from
countries with reported Ebola cases were required
to follow the right procedures of screening and
quarantine.
“If ever they are found to have symptoms of
Ebola, the flu-like symptoms, they would be immediately be put in isolation and put into the proper
facilities to keep the rest of our citizens from further
harm,” he said. —Inquirer.net

US to compensate Philippines
for coral reef damage
MANILA: The United States will pay the Philippines 87
million pesos ($1.9 million) for damage caused by a
U.S. Navy minesweeper that ran aground on a protected coral reef last year, an official said Friday.
Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario told a legislative hearing that the U.S. had agreed to pay the compensation. The minesweeper USS Guardian ran
aground in the Tubbataha National Marine Park in
January last year and was removed two months later
after being dismantled and lifted piece by piece by a
crane to prevent more damage to the reef.
The reef has been designated a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. A joint assessment by the park’s management, the World Wide Fund for Nature and other
experts found that 2,345 square meters (25,240 square
feet) of coral was damaged. The ship’s grounding was
embarrassing for Washington as it attempts to reassert
its presence in Asia amid China’s rise, and the Navy and
the U.S. ambassador to Manila apologized.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet relieved the ship’s commanding officer, executive officer and navigator, assistant
navigator and officer of the deck after initial findings
indicated they had failed to adhere to standard navigation procedures at the time of the grounding. —AP

Marine murder case reveals US-Philippine sore spot
MANILA: American forces are guarding Marine Pfc.
Joseph Scott Pemberton, yet a ring of Filipino troops
surrounds them. The seemingly redundant security
effort around the suspect in a Philippine murder case
reflects Manila’s uneasy ties with Washington, its former colonial master.
Pemberton, 19, is accused of killing Jennifer Laude,
a 26-year-old transgender Filipino, in a motel room
Oct. 11 in the city of Olongapo. He was initially held
on a US Navy warship at the Subic Bay Freeport,
northwest of Manila, but on Wednesday he was transferred to the Philippine military’s main camp, where
Filipino troops and two of his fellow Marines continue
to guard him.
Here are some questions and answers about the
tensions that result when US troops are accused of
serious crimes in the Philippines, whose love-hate
relationship with Washington has been shaped over
the decades by war, terrorism and now, jitters over
China’s rise:
Q: WHAT ARE THE RULES WHEN A US SERVICE
MEMBER IS ACCUSED OF A CRIME IN THE
PHILIPPINES?
A: Under the Visiting Forces Agreement, which the
treaty allies signed in 1998, the Philippines can prosecute US troops accused of crimes there. But the
accord grants the US custody over those troops “from
the commission of the offense until completion of all
judicial proceedings.”
Left-wing groups and nationalists have demanded
that the Philippine government take immediate custody of Pemberton, saying Americans continue to
impinge on their country’s sovereignty nearly 70 years
after it gained independence. In a compromise
between the two countries, the US transferred
Pemberton to Philippine soil but continues to guard
him and officially has not given up custody.
Q: HOW DID THE AGREEMENT COME ABOUT?
A: After World War II, the US maintained huge military bases in the Philippines for nearly a half-century,
but those were shuttered in the early 1990s amid rising nationalism, virtually freezing military ties.
China’s 1995 seizure of a contested reef, however,
prompted Manila to reach out to Washington again.
MANILA: Protesters, mostly supporters of LGBT (Lesbians Gays Bisexual and
Transgenders) community gather for a rally at the University of the Philippines campus at suburban Quezon city, northeast of Manila, to demand justice in the killing of
Filipino transgender Jeffrey “Jennifer” Laude which also coincided with his funeral in
Olongapo city, western Philippines Friday. —AP
Three years later, the allies signed the Visiting Forces
Agreement, allowing large-scale military exercises to
resume in the country. It also gave the Philippines a
clear right to prosecute US troops who commit
crimes, something it lacked previously.
Territorial disputes continue to simmer between
China and the Philippines over islands in the South
China Sea, and occasionally spark direct confrontations. In April, Manila and Washington signed a 10year defense accord that will give American forces
greater access to Philippine military camps.
With its anemic military, the Philippines aims to
bolster ties with the US to try to deter China.
Washington, meanwhile, is strengthening its military
in Asia after years of heavy engagement in the
Middle East and Afghanistan.
Q: WHAT ROLE HAS THE VISITING FORCES
AGREEMENT PLAYED IN PAST CASES?
A: The highest-profile, and to many Filipinos
most infamous, case was against Lance Cpl. Daniel
Smith, who was found guilty and sentenced to life in
prison on charges of raping a Filipino woman in
2005. He was held at the US Embassy in Manila until
a Philippine appeals court overturned his conviction
in 2009, allowing him to leave the country amid antiUS protests.
In 2009, then-US Ambassador Kristie Kenney
advised Washington about the dilemma Smith’s
case created.
“It is imperative that we recognize that more
than a legal case, the accusation against LCpl Smith
struck at the very heart of Philippine historical animus toward its colonial past,” Kenney wrote in a
confidential diplomatic cable published by
WikiLeaks. “For the last three years, no story ...
matched the headlines in column inches devoted to
the sordid details” of his case, she wrote.
With Philippine officials dead set against a repeat
of the circumstances of the Smith case, they reached
a deal with the US that allows both sides to say they
have control over Pemberton.
Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said
Wednesday that Washington “is fully aware that for
the Philippine government, it will be totally unacceptable for them to detain Pemberton within the
premises of the US Embassy, as was done in the
Lance Cpl. Daniel Smith case.”
Q: HOW ELSE DOES HISTORY AFFECT THE US MILITARY’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PHILIPPINES?
A: America’s foray into the Philippines started
when it defeated the Spanish fleet in the Battle of
Manila Bay in 1898, ending more than three centuries of Spanish colonization. But the Philippines
was ceded shortly after to the United States and only
gained independence in 1946, a colonization that
was disrupted by the Japanese imperial army’s invasion.
Following US forces’ exit and return in the 1990s,
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks brought the two militaries
closer. Filipino officials allowed hundreds of
American counterterrorism troops to train Filipino
forces fighting al-Qaida-linked militants in the south.
US counterterrorism forces began to scale down
their presence in the south this year after helping
weaken Abu Sayyaf extremists.
Q: COULD THE PHILIPPINES DECIDE TO SCRAP
THE VISITING FORCES AGREEMENT?
A: The murder case has reignited calls, even
among some Philippine senators, for the repeal of
the agreement. But that is unlikely because of the
security implications: Abrogating the deal could
effectively halt current US troop presence and largescale exercises in the Philippines. President Benigno
Aquino III has strongly opposed calls from left-wing
activists to scrap the pact, but the government is
open to a review of the agreement, including provisions on criminal jurisdiction and custody.
Q: WHERE DOES PEMBERTON’S CASE GO FROM
HERE?
A: Laude’s family has filed a murder complaint
against Pemberton before prosecutors in Olongapo,
the city northwest of Manila where she was killed. If
prosecutors assess there is strong evidence,
Pemberton will be indicted and face trial. Amid yells
of “justice for Jennifer” by left-wing activists, Laude’s
remains were transported Friday by her family and
dozens of mourners from a Roman Catholic church
to a cemetery in Olongapo where she was laid to
rest.
Meanwhile, the Marine will likely remain
detained in an air-conditioned van, equipped with a
sink and a cot, at a US-Filipino compound in the
Philippine military’s Camp Aguinaldo in metropolitan Manila.—AP

POLO sisimulan ...
Continued from Page 1
Magugunitang mayroong seminar na dapat pagdaanan ang
mga DH sa Pilipinas, ang pre-departure orientation seminar
(PDOS) yun nga lang, ang seminar na ito ay hindi specific sa country na kanilang pupuntahan. At upang matugunan ang mga problemang nangingibabaw dahil sa kakulangan ng kaalaman sa
nature o uri ng trabaho at klaseng ugali mayroon ang mga
employers dito minabuti ni Chavez na simulan na ang PAOS.
Napagkasunduan ng Embahada at ng ang mga local recruitment
agencies sa Kuwait na gawin ang nararapat upang mabawasan
ang mga kaso ng pagtakas (runaway) sa hanay ng HSWs.
“Ang PAOS po ay tatagal lamang ng mga 45 minutes to one
hour. Bubuksan ko ang POLO upang mag-conduct ng seminar
para sa kanila at upang mapagbuti ang serbisyo para sa mga
HSWs. Ibibigay natin sa mga bagong salta sa Kuwait ang mga
impormasyong dapat nilang malaman kabilang ang mga contact
numbers at address ng Embahada sakali’t nagkaroon sila ng problema, madali nilang ma-contact ang sinumang staff,” wika ni
Chavez.
Kaugnay sa ginanap na OLEP, ayon kay Chavez, layunin nito na
mabigyan ng tamang impormasyon ang mga OFWs sa Kuwait ng
mga tamang hakbangin at pamamaraan sa paghahanap nila ng
sagot sa kanilang mga katanungan ukol sa paggawa, pangunahin na ang usapin sa kanilang mga karapatan bilang dayuhang
mangagagawa sa Kuwait. Higit isang oras na tinalakay ni Chavez
ang mga batas na umiiral sa labor law ng Kuwait at ang
kasalukuyang on-site management handling ng kanilang mga
tauhan sa POLO.
Gaganapin na ang OLEP every other two months, ayon kay
Chavez. Dinaluhan ang kauna-unahang OLEP nina outgoing
ambassador Lamberto Monsanto, Consul General and now CDA
Atty Raul Dado, outgoing-Assistant Labor Attache to Kuwait
Florencia Ardivilla, current Assistant Labor Attache Angelita
Narvaez, out-going Welfare Officer Norlita Lugtu and current
Welfare Officer Nestor Baruyag. Kasama din sa presentasyon

Ang ‘Hacienda Binay’
O
kay usaping Binay tayo ngayon.
Kamakailan, lumutang ang dating Vice Mayor ng Makati si
Ernesto Mercado. Obviously kalaban ng
mga Binay, at inaakusahan sila particularly itong si Vice President Jejomar
Binay ng umano’y pagnanakaw ng pera
ng Makati City at bahagi umano ng kanilang mga ninakaw na kayamanan ang
malaking properties ngayon sa
Batanggas na umano pag-aari ng mga
Binay. Inilabas ni Mercado ang mga
larawan ng properties at ipinakita sa
Senado ang umano’y labis na
karangyaan ng mga Binay. Ipinakita din
nila ang mga amenities ng property
tulad ng malaking mansyon, pavilion,
kew garden, air-conditioned piggery at
orchid garden.
Hindi na siya tinigilan ng senado particular itong si Sen Antonio Trillanes sa
pag-usisa sa property na iyon simula
noon. Binisita ni Trillanes ang property
at sinamahan siya ng nagpakilalang
tunay umanong may-ari ng properties
na si Antonio Tiu. Si Antonio Tiu ay hinihinala namang pakawala ng mga Binay
o dummy owner umano ng questionableng property. Sa aking palagay,
parang chance o oportunidad na naman
ito ni Trillanes na magpasikat dahil wala
na sa sirkulasyon si dating Pangulong
Arroyo. So kailangan upang laging nasa
balita kumuha ng bagong kaaway, sorry
ha...pero iyan ang aking sapantaha, hakbanging ginagawa ni Trillanes parang
laging nasa balita.
May plano din umano kasi itong si
Trillanes na tumakbong Vice President
yata. So hindi na siya ngayon nawawala
sa balita. Anyway, ang akin lang naman
kung totoo na kanya ang properties na
iyon dapat niyang sabihin ng tuwiran.
Ilang beses nang pinatawag ng senado
si Binay pero hindi sila sumisipot kasi
ang argumento ng mga Binay ginagawa
lang naman daw talaga ito ng senado
ngayon para siya siraan at mag-grandstanding ang ilan sa mga miyembro ng
senado.
Matatandaang, namamayagpag pa
rin ngayon ang pangalan ni Binay sa
mga surveys na umano’y maaaring manalo at pumalit kay Pangulong Aquino sa
susunod na presidential elections sa
2016. Sa paglutang ni Antonio Tiu sa
senado pinabulaanan niyang hindi sa
pamilyang Binay ang property. Ito
umano ay pag-aari ng kanyang kumpanya Sunchamp Real Estate Development
Corp. Nilinaw din ni Tiu na nangungupahan lamang si Mrs Elenita Binay para sa
kanyang 9-hectare orchid garden doon
at binabayaran umano ang kumpanya
nila ng P90, 000 a year. Iginiiit ni Tiu na
ang 145-hectare ay pay pag-aari niya at
hindi kay Bise Presidente Binay.
Sa paglutang ng balitang ito
tinabunan ng tuluyan ang tunay at
lehitimong isyu na wala pa ring solution
hanggang ngayon ang PDAF at DAP
maging ang NTC o National
Transformation Council na nabuo
kamakailan lang. Sa mga hindi
nakakaalam ang NTC ay grupo ng mga
Obispo at laity na gusto nang pababain
sa puwesto si Aquino at ihand-over sa
kung sinuman ang puedeng magpatakbo ng gobyerno through NTC at
baguhin ang Saligang Batas. Iginiiit nila
ang kawalang aksyon ng gobyernong
Aquino sa usapin ng corruption at marami pang ibang isyung patuloy na bumabalot ngayon sa bansa. Kailan kaya ito
magiging malinaw na mga usapin ano?
Anyway kahapon naman, lumabas ang
isang opisyal ng Catholic Bishops
Conference of the Philippines at
inaanyayahan nila ang mga Pinoy na
makiiisa sa national signature campaign
against the pork barrel system. Sa website ng Church-run Radio Veritas sa
Manila particular itong si Auxiliary
Bishop Broderick Pabillo, chairman din
ng CBCP’s Episcopal Commission on
Public Affairs, ang signature campaign
na ito ay magaganap sa iba’t ibang dioceses ng bansa.
The signature campaign is part of the
effort to institute reforms in the government against corruption. Kasama at pangungunahan ang kampanyang ito ng
Peoples Initiative Against Pork Barrel, ang
Redemptorist Church sa Baclaran, Sta.
Cruz Church sa Manila, Quiapo Church or
the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene,
Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Princesa sa
Palawan, Diocese of Sorsogon, Romblon,
Borongan sa Eastern Samar, Archdiocese
of Tuguegarao, Archdiocese of Cebu,
Diocese of Kidapawan at San Carlos.
Layunin ng national movement for
the people’s initiative, na makalikom ng 6
million registered voters by early next
year. Magugunitang idineklara ng
Supreme Court na unconstitutional ang
pork barrel (Priority Development
Assistance Fund or PDAF), at maging ang
Disbursement Acceleration Program
(DAP) ng Aquino adminitration. Kung
saan hahantong ang inisyatibong ito, yan
ang aabangan natin! Bayan ang magpapasiya! Ang sa atin lang makialam tayo
kung pera ng bayan ang pinag-uusapan!
