Gov. Sol Matugas serious in curbing illegal drugs
Governor Sol Matugas recently made known her commitment to put an end to the proliferation of illegal drugs in the province in spite of the fact the said underground industry flourished under the protection of syndicates. She revealed her official stand after being asked by a member of the local media during the “Kapihan sa Kapitolyo” held on June 9, 2010 at the Provincial Convention Center, this city.
During an open forum, Jun Lira of Caraga Aksyon Balita asked the lady governor if she had the commitment and political will to unmask and bring to a court of justice the brains behind the said drug syndicates and their protectors composed of law enforcers and some high-ranking LGU officials. Lira wanted to elicit from the chief executive a definite reaction given the fact that it was very risky and dangerous for her to touch the said drug syndicates and their protectors which were all capable of staging reprisals.
In her usual soft-spoken self, Gov. Sol Matugas assured everyone who attended the forum that she really meant business in stopping the drug menace in Surigao del Norte.
“Political will, I have it but I cannot solve this alone without the close coordination of the concerned agencies and the cooperation of the community,” Matugas emphasized.
She expressed apprehension on the unabated proliferation of illegal drugs which even invaded both the private and the public schools.
“This drug menace is a universal concern, an age-old problem and this has got even into the schools,” she observed.
She proposed that random drug testing should be conducted in schools by the Department of Education as one of the preventive measures. Another proposal was to strengthen the prosecution which must be “imbribable or incorruptible” to ensure that suspects will be brought to a court of justice.
To achieve this, the governor said she will come up with a briefing and a dialogue with PDEA personnel and make an action plan involving all concerned government agencies and the community. She told the media that she will also tap the help of the PNP, through the newly-installed provincial director Police Superintendent Ruben Delos Santos.
In the same forum, Surigao del Norte Prov’l. Director Police Superintendent Ruben Delos Santos informed the governor that he was still on the process of formulating a plan in coordination with the Philippine Drugs Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and was also scrutinizing the operational plans of the former provincial director against illegal drugs.
“The PNP is very serious on solving this problem and we are extending our efforts to the concerned agency which is the PDEA,” Santos said.
Notoriously known for being on top of the list of provinces in Caraga Region with cases involving illegal drugs, Surigao del Norte for now may be in for the real thing as Governor Sol Matugas has vowed to find a solution to deter or eventually stop the said lingering menace in our province.

No suspension in GSIS services despite Basyang
While the services of most banks, ATMs, and government offices were down today (Wednesday) as an aftermath of typhoon Basyang, there was no interruption in the services of Government Service Insurance System, including its online transactions kiosk, the GSIS Wireless Automated Processing System.
The GSIS being online in its services was a far cry to what it experienced last year, when the system was prone to systems shut down.
The GSIS said its ability to keep its services available despite the calamity only shows that it succeeded in moving to a better and more stable system to service the loans and claims transactions of its members.
The GSIS also said it decided to keep its systems up in anticipation of clients visiting its offices, because many government offices declared suspension of work due to the blackout the ensued after Basyang’s onslaught.
The suspension gave members the opportune time to file their loan applications and follow-up on other benefits.
The GSIS also said despite the bad weather, its datacenter, the heart of all GSIS transactions, will be working round-the-clock to ensure the processing of loans and claims.
The GSIS G-W@PS kiosk, located in all GSIS servicing office, allows online loan applications, renewal of active status for pensioners, online viewing of GSIS membership records, and activation of the GSIS eCard. (GSIS/ PIA-Caraga)

Mindanao AFP commander vows to end communist insurgency in 3 years
CAMP EDILBERTO EVANGELSITA, Cagayan de Oro City - The command group of the Army’s Fourth Infantry (Diamond) Division (ID), the largest infantry division in Mindanao, on Wednesday vowed to eradicate the communist insurgency in three years so full economic development can take place in the region.
The 4th ID covers the areas of Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur in Northeastern Mindanao, Bukidnon, Misamis, Camiguin and some parts in Lanao in Northern Mindanao.
With the big number of personnel, combat maneuvering brigades, battalions and other operational control (Opcon) units, Maj. Gen. Mario Chan, commanding general of the 4th ID vowed to crush the communist insurgency.
The Army’s area commander made this announcement during a press conference in deference to the order of President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III to the military to end insurgency within three years.
Gen. Chan even assured of an earlier period, stating that three years is "too long" to do the job.
“Three years is very possible as far as the areas of the 4th ID are concerned," he said.
AFP Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Ricardo A. David, Jr. who was once the commanding general of the 4th ID, had also vowed to end the insurgency problem in the country within three years.
Chan stressed that the Maoist communist-New People's Army (NPA) is no longer considered a threat to national security, particularly in the areas of the 4th ID.
To prove this claim, he said the province of Misamis Oriental was recently declared insurgency-free and had turned over to local leaders and the police the task of handling their internal security.
The Army’s area command chief also expressed gratitude to the local officials for their full support in eliminating communist insurgency in the province. "Thanks to the programs of Governor Oscar Moreno, this was one of the important factors why there is no more NPA movement in Misamis Oriental," he said.
Chan, however, emphasized that when a province is handed over to the local government executive, it doesn't mean the presence of the military will not be felt anymore in that area.
He said the military will still be in the area to assist the Philippine National Police.
Gen. Chan also encouraged other local government unit officials to continue their full support to the AFP’s counter insurgency drive. He specifically mentioned the officials in Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Sur where there are remaining communist terrorists allegedly harassing the rural villagers and businesses.
“Eliminating communist insurgency is not only the problem of AFP but also of local leaders,” he said.
Chan acknowledged that causes of insurgency are poverty and education. (muc/PIA-Caraga)

DILG XIII Launches Regional Capacity Development Exposition (CDEX) 2010
Butuan City - The Department of the Interior and Local Government Region XIII held its Regional Capacity Development Exposition (CDEX) 2010 on July 14, 2010 in Dottie’s Place Hotel. The said activity was an offshoot of the National CDEX by the Local Government Academy in March this year. The general objective of the activity is to showcase competencies of LGUs in the different areas of governance.
Over a hundred participants from the local government units, regional line agencies, local research institute, foreign donors and other stakeholders attended the regional CDEX. Their presence means positive response to the call of addressing capacity gaps in LGUs.
One of the highlights of the activity was the audio-visual presentation of the State of Development, Performance and Competency of the Local Government Units in Region XIII for the past administration which presented the trends and challenges of the LGUs using the four areas of governance. It demonstrated the weakness and strengths of the local government units in Region XIII which encouraged the local chief executives to brave the challenges in bridging competency gaps.
The much-awaited part of the activity was the Awarding of LGUs Exemplary Performance in Governance as Recognition for deserving LGUs in promoting good governance despite meager resources. The awards motivate other local government units to walk an extra mile to improve their performance by developing innovations and strategies in their delivery of basic services to the community. This shows that competent leaders perform better in local governance and can earn for their LGUs awards and recognition.
In his speech, RD Burdeos promotes the importance of forging alliances between LGUs and stakeholders in addressing the trends and challenges on capacity development. He expressed his gratitude to foreign donors for their generosity in extending financial assistance to recipient LGUs to further enhance the latter’s capacity development agenda.
A covenant signing by local chief executives, foreign donors, civil society organizations and members of the media sector followed suit. It served as an affirmation of capacity development partners to pledge their support and commitment in advancing good local governance in the region.
CDEX activity also provided a wide array of display of knowledge products from the LGRRC thereby promoting good local governance through marketing, advocacy and information dissemination.
A press conference was also conducted at the closing of the activity.
Though DILG XIII was on its maiden trip to conduct the regional CDEX, the activity proved to be a tremendous success thereby gaining only positive feedbacks from the participants. (Mary Christine Anthonette M. Salise, DILG-13/ PIA-Caraga)

The much-awaited part of the activity was the Awarding of LGUs Exemplary Performance in Governance as Recognition for deserving LGUs in promoting good governance despite meager resources. The awards motivate other local government units to walk an extra mile to improve their performance by developing innovations and strategies in their delivery of basic services to the community. This shows that competent leaders perform better in local governance and can earn for their LGUs awards and recognition.
In his speech, RD Burdeos promotes the importance of forging alliances between LGUs and stakeholders in addressing the trends and challenges on capacity development. He expressed his gratitude to foreign donors for their generosity in extending financial assistance to recipient LGUs to further enhance the latter’s capacity development agenda.
A covenant signing by local chief executives, foreign donors, civil society organizations and members of the media sector followed suit. It served as an affirmation of capacity development partners to pledge their support and commitment in advancing good local governance in the region.
CDEX activity also provided a wide array of display of knowledge products from the LGRRC thereby promoting good local governance through marketing, advocacy and information dissemination.
A press conference was also conducted at the closing of the activity.
Though DILG XIII was on its maiden trip to conduct the regional CDEX, the activity proved to be a tremendous success thereby gaining only positive feedbacks from the participants. (Mary Christine Anthonette M. Salise, DILG-13/ PIA-Caraga)
