P1.2M reward out for each of three slay suspects
in SurSur September 1 lumad killings, “dead or alive!”
By Greg Tataro Jr.
TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur, Dec. 11 (PIA) – A
monetary reward of P1.2 million each is out “for the arrest, surrender or
death” of the three slay suspects on the Lumad killings here on September 1.
Col. Isidro Purisima, commander of the 402nd
Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army (PA), bared that said bounty had been
“signed/approved” by Secretary Mel Senen Sarmiento of the Department of the
Interior and Local Government (DILG).
The army official also sent the text message
regarding NAPOLCOM Memorandum Circular No. 2015-136.
The said MC dated November 23, 2015 contains other
important details including the names in particular of “wanted persons Bobby
Tejero, Margarito Layno and Loloy Tejero.”
Governor Johnny Pimentel confirmed this latest
turn of events.
However, he clarified that his earlier offer of
P200,000 each on the head of the three suspects would no longer be included as
agreed upon due to this development.
It can be recalled that the brutal killings of
Emerito Samarca, Dionel Campos, and Bello Sinzo had triggered the mass
evacuation of about 3,000 lumads from Kilometer 16 of Sitio Han-ayan, Barangay
Diatagon, Lianga town, where the incident took place, 90 kilometers south, this
city.
Most of the evacuees have continued to take
shelter at Surigao del Sur Sports Center since then. (NGBT/Radyo ng

126 ARBOs undergo maturity assessment in Surigao
Norte, Dinagat Islands
By Daryll M. Tumbaga
SURIGAO CITY, Surigao del Norte, Dec. 11 (PIA) - A
total of 126 agrarian reform beneficiaries organizations (ARBOs) in both the
provinces of Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands recently underwent an
Information Technology-enabled Maturity Assessment (ITeMA) conducted by the
provincial office of the Department of Agrarian Reform in Surigao del Norte
(DAR-SDN).
The ARBOs were assessed under six major
indicators, namely: 1) organizational management, 2) resource management, 3)
social enterprise operations, 4) financial performance, 5) alliance building
and sustainability, and 6) environmental and social responsibility.
Four ITeMA Provincial Lead Enumerators of DAR-SDN
were trained and tasked to spearhead the said assessment to the DAR-assisted
ARBOs of which 67 were from the province of Surigao del Norte and 59 from the
province of Dinagat Islands.
The ITeMA for ARBOs seeks to come up with
comprehensive and realistic results of assessing the levels of maturity of the
DAR-assisted ARBOs, to bring to fore the development gaps or the interventions
yet to be provided, and to create a database of DAR-assisted ARBOs from which
updated and comprehensive ARBO profiles can be readily generated.
ITeMA is an enhancement of the Organizational
Maturity Assessment portion of the Agrarian Reform Community Level of
Development Assessment of which one of the key features is the utilization of
smartphones with installed data entry applications that would facilitate the
conduct of data gathering and verification of data gathered, and pinpoint the
location where the data gathering was actually conducted. (SDR/DAR-SDN/PIA-Surigao

provincial director here, said 17 units of the “Mahindra” patrol jeeps were
allotted to the respective municipal police stations (MPS) of Surigao del Sur.

and Bislig had not been included among the recipients, he clarified that said
local government units (LGUs) had already received their vehicle a couple of
months ago.
Also, upon receipt of the message regarding the
turn-over, Bayting indicated immediately issuing an advice to all concerned
chiefs of police (COP) “to coordinate and invite their respective local executive
to attend” the ceremony.
He further relayed the instruction that “COP will
be the host/usherette of their respective local executive while waiting for the
commencement of the event.”
Meanwhile, P/SSupt. Bayting has confirmed
