Waste mgmt dilemma

BY CARMELITO Q. FRANCISCO

HOW must the environment be protected? Rid it of pollutants, says everyone.

In the debate on the waste-to-energy project proposed by the city gov ernment, which is more detrimental to the environ ment?

Of course, there are two obvious sides to the coin here. For Councilor Temujin Ocampo, pursuing the project is a no-brainer for two reasons: the dump site will eventually run out of space for the mounting garbage from the city and that, aside from ridding the dumpsite of waste ma terials that can also cause pollution, the city will have an alternative source of energy.

About two months ago,

Ocampo sponsored a reso lution that asked President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to let the national government cough up P3.486 billion as the counterpart for the im plementation of the project.

Ocampo said, in ex plaining the need for the implementation of the project, that the “sanitary landfill, which is almost filled to the brim, and the exponential growth volume of its solid waste, neces sitate the adoption and the application of existing technologies that address solid waste management.”

He pointed out that the project is among the exist ing technologies that have

been adopted to address waste management and it “does not only significantly reduce the volume of solid waste being dropped in a sanitary landfill, but also contribute and provide one of the most important re sources, energy.”

On the other side of the coin are the environmen talists like the Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability Inc. They opined that the project is never a solution to the gar bage problem, but will cre ate another bigger problem.

“In reality, what they are after is energy genera tion and we don’t want our

ENVIRONMENTAL groups like the Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability Inc. block the implementation of the project as it would use incinerators that will burn waste materials and emit into the environment harmful chemicals. BING GONZALES

COUNCILOR Temujin Ocampo pushes for the implementation of the waste-to-energy project, claiming that this will address the solid waste management problem of the city. Ocampo explains that the sanitary landfill “is almost filled to the brim, and the exponential growth volume of its solid waste necessitates the adoption and the application of existing technologies that address solid waste management.”

Illegal drugs suspect killed in operation

A LAW ENFORCER shot dead an alleged illegal drugs peddler after the latter tried to shoot an agent during an operation on Wednesday afternoon in Barangay 23-C.

then pulled a handgun and shot the agent, but the latter managed to escape unharmed.

Food terminal to help farmers increase incomes

THE operations of the Davao Food Terminal Complex will allow vegeta ble producers and traders to increase their incomes as movement of goods between and among them will be efficient.

During the opening of the facility located in Barangay Daliao, Joseph R. Laborte, president of the

Safe, accessible drinking water at Jail Annex

BY AMY B. CABUSAO

BARELY two months into his position as Jail Warden at the Davao Cty Jail Annex in Maa, JSInsp. Reinzo Roullo has done what he humbly described as "small things" with great impact.

Roullo, 29, brought to his new station best practices he has developed in his two-year stint at Montevista Jail in Davao del Norte during the time of the global health pandemic.

The first thing he worked on was to clean the premises of the jail, including overhauling the septic tank to eradicate the stench that permeated inside the facility. He also worked with a paint company to whitewash and paint the walls of the facility. Visual artists were tapped to paint murals, making the surroundings pleasant and fresh.

In the same month, he also noticed that the volume of water going through the Jail Annex came in trickles as the water line passes through the City Jail Male Dormitory is servicing 8,000 inmates. As a result, there was erratic water pressure and frequent water interruption.

He thought of replicating his Montevista project of a deep well to provide access to clean water to the 900 PDLs in the facility at the same time drastically cut water bills of the faciity.

"Access to clean and potable water is a basic need," Roullo said, "especially at the Jail Annex where the Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) are sickly and elderly."

The 60-meter deep well was finished on the first week

of October and underwent system tests within the month. As the deep well started its opera tions, Roullo said that on the second week of October, they received donations of stainless water tanks and a complete set of a 24-stage water filtration equipment.

This is the next phase of the water project at the Jail Annex.

A water refilling station, according to Roullo, will somehow level the playing field in the facility. He has seen that while BJMP officers and employees are drinking purified water, the PDLs are drinking water direct from the faucet.

"Someday, I will make (purified) water fair to all. Every PDL should have access to safe and purified water. The Jail Annex is for sickly PDL and they need more care. Purified water will improve their health and wellness," Roullo said.

A concept paper on the benefits of a water refilling station is being studied by the Jail Warden.

It highlights that a water refilling station is environment friendly as it reduces plastic footprints and promotes better health with the availablity of good quality drinking water that encourages people to reduce their consumption of fizzy drinks.

The Jail Annex spends an average of Php15,000 to Php20,000 purified water per month from an outside supplier. The sale of purified water would result to a savings of 67%, bring ing down the cost of water per cannister from Php30 to Php 10.

The jail warden looks forward to supplying the neighboring jails - Male Dormitory, Women's Jail and the BJMP Regional Office with purified water at a lower price. This will generate income that will support other projects of the Jail Annex, as well.

The Boomers concert complements

Steve O'Neal's Beatles exhibit at Abreeza

DAVAWEÑOS had a once-in- a lifetime opportunity to enjoy the Beatles photo exhibit in downtown Abreeza Mall last Sept 30 to Oct.

2. Rare photos and memorabilias of the Fab 4 from Liverpool, through Steve O'neal's collections were all bannered conspicuously for public display at the Abreeza Activity Center.

The exhibit sparked every Bea tles fan to reminisce a great musical era in the early 60's when the boys from Liverpool shot to stardom with their uniquely composed songs that have entertained the world for more than 60 years and counting. But the rare Beatles photos and memora bilias exhibit was happily comple

mented with a two-hour live concert by the fast rising popular band of Davao known as the Boomers.

The musical segment was the icing on the cake. For three successive afternoons (from 4 pm to 6pm) on Sept 30 until Oct 2, the Abreeza Activity Center was magically transformed into a great concert hall with the band Boomers re-creating and singing the famous Beatles songs that have endeared the world of music for many decades, now indelibly etched in our memories.

The music wafted across Abreeza's Activity Center, which lured shoppers and on lookers from all walks of life. The Boom

ers, young talents all hailing from Davao, produced a scintillating performance not seen by our city for many years. The songs brought joy, happiness, and nostalgia as they warmed and touched the heartstrings from beginning to end.

"I saw her standing there", "Get back", were pure lively dance music that mesmerized the Davaweños with the pulse and energy of these songs. " While my guitar gently weeps", "If I fell" " In my life" and others provided a slower tempo with their poignant melodic lines.

In all, the instruments and vocals weaved the unforgettable melodies from the boys from Liverpool. The crowd cheered,

rose from their seats, clapped their hands, sang along, stomped and shuffled their feet to the beat of the music fashioned by Lennon McCa rtney. Hearts melted as some were teary- eyed, evoking joy thru sheer nostalgia and memorable moments of yesteryears.

It was an unforgettable and spectacular three-day musical con cert for the Davaweños who have discovered and are so proud of the musically gifted band, the Boomers.

Detained mother reunites with daughter after 30 years

Jennifer was only six years old when Anne was offered a job as a saleslady in Malaysia. Like many Filipinos in search of a better life, she accepted it. “I did not tell my mother that I wanted to work abroad because she would have refused to let me go. So, I just left without a trace. I was sure I would come back and my family would understand me because I did it for them,” said Anne.

But the job in Malaysia turned out to be a scam. Anne was tricked into becoming an entertainer with a measly salary. When she was released from that job, Anne became a domestic help and then toiled as a construction worker.

After her contract ended, Anne returned to the Philippines in 2006. However, she did not go back to her family because she was afraid to see her mother. “I thought she would reproach me for what I had done. I convinced myself to pretend as if I were dead to my family,” she said, adding that she chose to settle in another village in Mindanao and started a farm.

Detained in the Philippines

In 2017, Anne was arrested in relation to armed conflict. The ICRC visited her at Taguig City Jail a few months after her arrest as part of its humanitarian mandate and activities in the hilippines. “We have been helping detainees all over the world for more than 150 years, focusing on people deprived of their liberty in relation to armed conflicts and other violence. We look into how detainees are treated during their ar rest and detention and monitor their health and living conditions. We also help to restore and maintain communication between detainees and their family members,” explained Alvin Loyola, the ICRC staff who accompanied Jennifer to meet Anne.

Anne learned about the ICRC’s Family Visit Programme (FVP), under the Restoring Family Links (RFL) initiative, to help detainees separated from their loved ones because of armed conflicts. The RFL initiative involves tracing detainees’ family members, re-establishing and maintaining contact, reuniting families and seeking to clarify the fate and whereabouts of those who remain missing. Through the FVP, families of detainees can travel from their hometowns to visit their detained loved ones. “It is very important because it allows detainees to re-establish or maintain contact with their families and improves

their psychological well-being,” said Mariegen Balo, ICRC staff.

Anne also desired to meet her daughter when she found out her whereabouts through relatives. But the programme was suspended in 2020 because of the COVID-19 global pandemic. When the travel restrictions were eased in 2022 and family visits resumed, the ICRC scheduled Anne’s long-awaited reunion with her daughter.

Together at last

In July, an ICRC team accompanied Jennifer to visit her mother, who is now detained at the Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) in Mandaluyong City. Anne said she did not know how she would approach her daughter, whom she had last seen three decades ago.

“I wondered, should I ask for forgiveness first, or do I just hug her?”

But Jennifer, who had managed to beat the odds and graduate from college with her grandmother’s help, said her mother did not need to worry at all. Even though they had not been in contact for 30 years, Jennifer said she did not harbour any resentment against her mother. In fact, every year on 30 January – Anne’s birthday – Jennifer would put a post on social media in her honour. “The only photo I had of my mother was destroyed in a flood so I used photos of my siblings and me for the posts. I used to pray hard for the day that I would see her again,” said Jennifer.

The mother and daughter’s reunion happened just a few days after Jennifer’s 36th birthday, so the ICRC team asked Anne about ( /DETAINED/10)

"NASAAN ang anak ko? (Where is my daughter),” asked Anne* looking straight at Jennifer*, who was introduced to her by a staff of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Smiling, 36-year-old Jennifer pointed to herself. They had last seen each other over 30 years ago. Continuing to look at the younger woman with some disbelief, Anne recalled that her daughter had a birthmark somewhere around the nape of her neck. As she spotted it on Jennifer, they were both overcome with emotions and embraced tightly.

OpiniOn

Good Morning Yesterday

IF one really thought about it, a spontaneous gettogether by former grade school classmates now in their late sixties could just ordinarily be like any present-day group of graders huddling inside the school cafeteria at the moment. From a stoic stand point, the casualness of such a happening is not really even something to be sentimental about. Besides, human interactions such as this, is but a natural phe nomenon and it’s only the Kodak theme song (of the same title) that has implanted sentimentality in the whole episode.

For us involved however, the more important is sue now is the fact that “we should stop meeting like this”. A few years back, when I perchance met one of my classmates in the hospital where he was work ing as a medical doctor, he said the subjects of our conversations whenever any of us met are easily one

of the indicators that we were all getting old. When we were younger he said, we would often animatedly blab about personal exploits, family milestones, work and more. Yet the years went by, whenever we inter acted again with former schoolmates, the foremost topic would now mostly be about who among our

batch (or members of their family) had died. Hence, a sad cause for a reunion.

While this is not especially true with other groups involving ancient ones, it’s the unfortunate reality with our diminishing motley crew. For one, not eve ryone reside in the same city or region, while others are out of the country. For those who do, work and other responsibilities are the visible hindrances to meet so that, only a few could fall under what many call today as BFFs.

Nevertheless, there are initiatives to be like other batches and strive to meet regularly in the near future. Plans for worthwhile civic endeavors and merrier social affairs such as birthdays and school-related events, are likewise in the works...all in the effort to break the chain of meeting only during sad and unfortunate events.

Meanwhile, the sand in our virtual hourglass is obviously more than half down and we are not like innocent grade schoolers anymore. That’s where the comparison ends because luckily for them, they have literally got the universe (and time too) in the palm of their little hands. All we’ve got are a wealth of experience and collective memories we could use to forge a legacy which we could leave behind. If only we could hurry.

A respite from high power bills

THE Philippine National Police Office in Davao City in coordination with the local government has released for the public to be aware of, the various protocols to be ob served in the commemoration of the All Souls and Saints Days this coming November 1 and 2.

The guidelines are focused primarily on ensuring that the number of people visiting their dead relatives in various cemeteries in the city, will not cause a su per spreader situation of the still prevailing CoViD 19 pandemic. If the people are allowed to do their thing in commemorating the Undas, the likelihood is that they will converge in city cemeteries either on November 1 or November 2. Meaning the resting place of the dead will be swarming with the living which situation is ideal for the virus to spread even if most of those in the crowd are already vaccinated.

As a consequence anyone in the cemetery on those 2 days could be the vehicle of the virus transmission. In the same manner, anyone could also be the recipient of the transmitted virus. Therefore, it is just right, even if some of the protocols are arbitrarily restrictive, that everyone should be aware of these and must not be so cocky in their compliance of the protocols.

Of course, there is this other primordial reason why the police and civilian authorities are imposing rigid pro tocols. It is this aspect of maintaining peace and order in cemeteries and even in the various communities, in effect securing the living.

As we are already aware of, before the pandemic the police and the LGUs are strict in their measures to prevent anyone from getting inside cemeteries bringing deadly weapons, the reason why backpacks are being prohibited inside the cemetery compound. Liquor or any other in toxicating drinks are banned. Even the sound system is not allowed to be brought inside, and no overnight stay.

SPECIAL REPORT

And the authorities could not have been more correct in adopting such protocols because experiences in the past show that even sane people when intoxicated have the tendency to be out of reason. This is where trouble is likely to erupt in cemeteries.

Moreover, those with criminal minds tend to commit crime in places where a sizable crowd converges (for those with terroristic intentions), and in communities temporar ily left unattended as most residents are out to visit their dead loved ones (for those burglars and robbers).

With the protocols in place the police and civilian authorities can rest assured that the All Saints and All Souls Day commemoration will not result in more dead to be visited in cemeteries in the Undas next year. Instead, those who will be visiting their dead loved ones during the Undas week this 2022 will still be around to join next year’s pilgrimage to the communities of the dead – the cemeteries.

So consumers residing within the franchise area of Davao Light will be getting lower electricity bill for the month of October?

This was what the power utility announced last Tues day in a media interview. Should this announcement be a cause for a semblance of celebration?

Frankly we do not know. What was given as a reason is the bigger share of the power supplied from renewable energy sources in the power mix. Meaning, the share in the generation mix is coming from plants like hydros mostly from the Lake Lanao hydroelectric plant complex, in Bukidnon, and a component from the smaller hydro plants in Davao City.

The lower generation cost has to be because in the past few months Mindanao, including Davao City, had been blessed with heavy rainfall because there is enough water in lakes and rivers to run the hydro plants.

But for how long will this blessing last? This blessing is welcomed by the majority of Mindanaoans but at the same time cursed by those who are residing along or on the path of excess water flow – the flood prone areas.

Somehow we cannot help but imagine the situation as one that is fervently prayed for by one sector of the popu lation on one hand, and earnestly hoped for by another to be brought to a stop if only to have the opportunity to recover the losses brought about by the floods.

On the other hand there is this steep rise in the cost of imported fuel products to run the various power plants in Mindanao. We have the exorbitant oil imports from the Middle East and the skyrocketing cost of coal from the traditional source in Kalimantan, Indonesia.

What then will happen to the electricity cost in Mind anao, and Davao for that matter, when the rains take a respite from regularly falling and the prices of either oil or coal continue to rise?

Well, we just have to wait and enjoy this probably short-lived lower power bills this month.

Marawi residents struggle to get their lives back

BY FROILAN GALLARDO

MARAWI CITY (MindaNews) — Five years after then President Rodrigo Duterte declared this city liberated from ISIS-inspired militants, residents who have been allowed to return are now trying to restore normalcy to their lives, while thousands of others are still living in temporary shelters in the outskirts.

Mamarinta Radia, 58, stood outside his newly rebuilt hardware store in Barangay Bubong Madaya Lilod, one of the areas where residents are already allowed to resettle.

Radia was lucky that his two-story building only sustained minor damage from the fighting and was able to secure a P75,000 grant from the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

“I was able to parlay that money and opened this hardware,” said Radia, a welder and a father of four who sells small saws and bottled fuel.

Around him one of his neighbors, “Dom,” was busy hauling sand and gravel to his house.

“Dom,” a 50-year old public school teacher who asked not to be identified voiced a lot of complaints.

He said his efforts to rebuild his family’s ancestral house has run around in circles due to numerous require ments for a building permit from the city government.

“If they want to really help us, they should do away with these requirements. They should do away with the exorbitant fees,” he said.

Most of Marawi’s section called the Main Affected Area (MAA), where the militants made their last stand, is still off-limits to residents, although the government has constructed new mosques, buildings, and a sprawling sports stadium.

Outside the section, life has slowly returned among the residents who were allowed to rebuild their lives.

“My life has improved since we ran away from the war,” Beverly Modasir, who sells fried bananas near the Amai Pakpak Medical Center said.

Madasir said she gave birth to a daughter at the tempo rary evacuation center inside the Lanao del Sur Provincial Capitol in 2017.

“I named her Mar-Mar for Marawi-Martial Law. It’s a remembrance of the days of how we survived as evacuees,” Madasir.

On the new road in front of the temporary shelters in Barangay Sagonsongan, businessman Alex Tomawis was

busy supervising his workers put finishing touches to a newly opened store.

A client had just walked out from the store after buy ing a bronze food tray worth P4,000.

Tomawis said his store is enjoying brisk sales in house decors and sofas to residents who are refurbishing their new homes they have constructed in the city’s outskirts.

“Maranaos are traders. Pabayaan lang sana ng go byerno ipabalik sa loob ng MAA, kami na ang bahala. Makabangon kami (Government should just allow us to go back inside the MAA and we do the rest. We can rise up again),” he said.

Drieza Liningding, said 5,000 families are still living in temporary shelters five years after the Marawi siege.

Liningding said there were some families who relo

cated elsewhere.

“They want to return but the government won’t allow them yet,” he said.

Mayor Majul Gandamra said water remains the number one problem if the residents are allowed back inside the MAA.

Gamdamra said the Local Water Utilities Adminis tration (LWUA) has yet to start the construction of the P225-million bulk water system in Marawi.

He said LWUA has not even laid a single water pipe in the MAA and has not drilled a water pumping station in Barangay Caloocan.

“Sometimes gusto ko sana sisigaw (I wanted to shout) out of exasperation. Why are they taking it too long?” he said. (Froilan Gallardo/MindaNews)

energy to be `unclean.’ In effect, we will contribute to carbon emissions. WTE can cause our carbon emissions and carbon footprint to shoot up. Apart from that, this is not really the sustainable solution. We are just creating another problem,” said lawyer Mark Peñalver, IDIS executive director.

Peñalver’s contention is anchored on the concept that the wastes will be converted to energy using an incinerator that will create harmful pollutants.

These chemical compounds, he explained, are “carci nogenic” as these contain dioxins and furans, compounds that are formed during the incineration process and that “these can put the lives of people in danger.”

He even cautioned that with the facility being in op eration, people will wantonly generate more garbage to satisfy its craving for more input.

The idea for the project was first floated about a decade ago when some companies sought the approval

Philippines has yet to formally communicate its decision to terminate the PHP12.7 bil lion contract signed during the Duterte administration to purchase 16 Mi-17 helicop ters, with an additional unit to be included at no extra cost.

In July 2022, former De fense Secretary Delfin Loren zana revealed he terminated the contract based on the deci sion of former President Rod rigo Duterte over the possible impact of several sanctions imposed on Russia due to the Ukraine war.

"I'd like to reaffirm that the Russian side is continuing to fulfill all the obligations regarding this contract and we consider it valid until now," Pavlov told reporters. "The downpayment was made for the start of the assembly op eration, so we continue to as semble. Because we received the amount of the money therefore (we're) fulfilling all the contractual obligation."

He also bared that one unit was in fact ready to be delivered in June 2022.

At a September 2022 Sen ate hearing, Defense Officerin-Charge and Senior Under secretary Jose Faustino Jr. admitted that the project "has not been officially cancelled"

ticle 10 of the Constitution expressly excludes that of the barangay officials, which ac cordingly shall be determined by law,” he added.

This clearly gives the Congress the jurisdiction or authority to pass and enact laws governing the term and elections of barangay and SK officials, he said.

The Mindanao lawmaker said the enabling law that provided the term and elec tions of barangay and SK officers is RA No. 7160, or the Local Government Code of 1991, which is a product of the powers and functions of the legislative branch of the government, and can therefore be amended or revoked by the Congress.

Rodriguez issued the statement ahead of Friday’s oral arguments hearing set by the Supreme Court on the petition of lawyer Romulo

of the city government that they be allowed to utilize the wastes in the city to use these as inputs in their energy generation plants.

But the idea was eventually put in the backburner after these companies said they needed at least about 1,000 tons of waste a day for the project to be viable as the volume at that time was just half of the requirements.

In the latest data from the City Environment and Natural Resources Office, the city generates about 700 metric tons of garbage a day, about 200 metric tons more than the volume a decade ago. It is still not known whether the volume is enough to run the facility.

The same idea was resurrected in 2015 after the Japan International Cooperation Agency came up with a study and found its viability in the city.

The idea snowballed and became a proposal when, three years later, the Japanese government said it was

willing to partially fund the establishment of the facility as it would donate 5.013 billion yen (about P2 billion at 1 Japanese yen to 39 Philippine centavos).

The project has been passed on to three Duterte may ors, Rodrigo, Sara and the incumbent, Sebastian.

Mayor Baste, who has made an audience with of ficials of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to push for the implementation of the project, said it would “become precedent (in the country) and that this is important because this is a grant.”

But the mayor said that even if the national govern ment refuses to heed the city government call as it has been saddled with bigger problems that are needed to be provided solution urgently.

So will the project be implemented, passed on to the next mayor, or totally abandoned?

Either way, the environment will still suffer.

but a contract termination review committee has already been formed to process it.

He said the government is also working to negotiate a re fund of the PHP1.9 billion that was given as advance payment "through diplomatic channels" considering that the project was implemented through government-to-government procurement.

Pavlov, for his part, said the Russian Embassy would wait for an official commu nication or a diplomatic note but hopes that the new admin istration could still reconsider based on its "independent foreign policy".

"Officially speaking, the Embassy didn't receive any of ficial communication through the very known channel, for example the diplomatic note. We didn't receive any note," he said. "We are waiting."

US Ambassador to the Philippines MaryKay Carl son, in a recent roundtable, confirmed that the State Department has asked the US Congress to approve a USD100 million (approxi mately PHP5.9 billion) in foreign military financing for the Philippines, which she said could help Manila offset the down payment it made for

the Russian chopper purchase.

Last August 2022, Philip pine Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel Romualdez said the country is looking at buy ing Chinook helicopters from the US.

Meanwhile, the Depart ment of National Defense (DND) said formal proceed ings are underway to termi nate a deal for the Philippines to purchase 16 military heavylift helicopters from Russia.

DND spokesperson Ar senio Andolong said the de partment has started an ex change of letters and calls with Sovtechnoexport, and they are waiting for the appropriate response.

"Nagsimula na at naghi hintay na lang ng mga reply ng isa’t isa kaya 'yun ang status ngayon (The process has be gun and both sides are await ing each other's response. That is the status for now)," Andolong said in an interview.

He, however, declined to give further details, saying this stage of the transaction is sensitive.

Andolong also declined to comment on the effect of the United States' USD100million pledged assistance to the Philippines on the chopper deal with Russia. (PNA)

Also in attendance were traders from Bankerohan, Toril, Davao del Sur and Davao del Norte.

Edgardo Haspe, Cagro officer in charge, said the of fice is deploying two trucks to help farmers bring their produce to the facility. Each of these six-wheeler vehi cles has a capacity of seven metric tons.

Haspe said farmers can display their produce at the facility for free during the first six months of operations when fees are still waived. After six months, the rate will be P50 for a day per slot as defined in the implement ing rules and regulations of the ordinance passed for the operations of the facility.

“We have 118 slots that are open on a first come first serve basis. Kung kinsa tung mga farmers and pro ducers magdala diri og gu lay makadisplay kung naay available. Dili ni pareha sa ubang bagsakan nga pwede nimo arkilahan the rest of the month, bahalag wala kay produkto,” Haspe said.

City Cooperative and Development Office (CCDO) Head Luzminda Eblamo said that coopera tives that buy vegetables and fruits are also among the DFTC partners as coopera tives can become consolida tors to help their members.

Among the trading partners present during the opening were the Manuel Guianga and Sirib Grow ers and Employees MultiPurpose Cooperative and the Macabatug Cooperative Federation.

Martin said that in line with the regulation, the city will establish checkpoints in Sirawan, Lacson, and Lasang. “Yung mag-exit sa Davao City we will ensure na niagi sila diri sa Davao City, diri sila namalit,” Mar tin said.

“For Davao City pro duce pwede ra sila mudi retso sa Bankerohan Public Market. Ang gi-oblige namo karon for one year transition is those coming from outside Davao City,” she said.

Martin said that they encourage the traders or buyers to go to DFTC to help the farmers, and also ensure the safety and quality of the produce. By Rhoda Grace B. Saron

Macalintal questioning the constitutionality of RA 11935, the law postponing BSKE.

He refuted Macalintal’s assertion that the authority to postpone an election is vested with the Commission on Elec tions (Comelec).

He said it is “not com pletely correct to say that only the Comelec has the authority or power to cancel or postpone the barangay and SK elections because there is nothing in the Omnibus Election Code that exclusively supports such a concept.”

“Although Section 45, Article 6 of the Omnibus Elec tion Code provides that the conduct of barangay elections can be postponed in certain serious cases upon a verified petition, there is nothing in the said law that exclusively gives the power or authority to cancel or postpone the elec tions to the Comelec,” he said.

Rodriguez said there is also nothing in the Constitu tion that gives the Comelec the exclusive jurisdiction or authority to cancel or post pone the conduct of any elec tion, including that of the barangay and SK officers.

“The 1987 Constitution, however, gives the Comelec the power to enforce and ad minister all laws and regula tions relative to the conduct of an election, plebiscite, people’s initiative, referendum, and recall. This means that the poll body cannot act independently on its own, but rather must comply and execute election–related laws,” he said.

“Be that as it may, the Omnibus Election Code, like the Local Government Code, being an act of the Congress, can be amended or revoked by the Congress, the same body that passed and enacted the same,” he added. (PNA)

The opening of the facil ity also signaled the closure of other wholesale areas in the city as the mandatory unloading of farm produce is set to be held solely at the facility, its officer in charge, Josephine Martin, said as it will serve as the official wholesale area of the city based on Ordinance 0823 Series of 2021 and its implementing rules and regulations specified under Executive Order 42 Series of 2022 which Mayor Sebastian Duterte signed a month ago.

The mayor was also pre sent during the event.
