Dear Friends

Will you please post and help me forward this message to all your other groups so that it gets circulated, thanks. Soon the season of fruits like mango, durians, rambutans, langsat (lansones), duku, mangosteen, jack fruit, etc will be here. My request to all of us is to NOT throw the seeds in your rubbish bin, but INSTEAD to wash them, dry them (in the sun) and pack it in newspaper and keep it in your car. Whenever you go out and find an open baren land while travelling, be it on a village road, on an empty motorway, throw these seeds. They will germinate easily in the the coming monsoon. If with this simple act, we can contribute even a single tree each season to our world, our mission of greening this world would be successful. The Thai government has been promoting this to all its citizen over the last few years. Many of their other districts officers have been driving this campaign aggressively which has been very successful. The number of fruit trees in the wild have multiplied many times over particularly in the Northern districts of Thailand. Let’s us also join the Thais in this brilliant initiative to spread abundance in nature and in this simple yet effective way and contribute back to our next generations. Please forward to all groups...

Ang Maayong Balita sa Kaluwasan karong adlawa sumala sa Ebanghelyo ni San Lukas 15:1-3, 11-32

¹ Ang mga Kobrador sa buhis ug ang mga makasasala nagkatigom unya nag alirong nga naminaw kang Jesus.

²  ug ang mga Pareseyo ug mga Eskriba nag pagolbol , “Kining tawhana mi-abi abi hinoon sa mga maka sasala ug nakig salo pa sa pag pangaon kanila”,

³ Busa si Kristo misulti niining mga sambingaya:

¹¹ Unya siya miingon, 'Adunay usa ka tawo kinsa adunay duha ka anak,

¹² Ang kinamanghuran miingon ngadto sa iyang amahan,  "Amahan, ihatag na kanako ang akong bahin sa imong mga katigayonan.  Busa  gibahin sa amahan ang iyang mga katigayonan ug gihatag ang bahin sa kinamanghuran.

¹³ Sa pipila ka adlaw nga milabay, ang kamanghurang anak iyang gitipon ang tanan niyang bahin ug mibiya paingon sa laing nasud diin didto siya nag usik usik a iyang kwarta ug nag patuyang sa iyang mga bisyo.

 ¹⁴ Sa dihang na hurot na niya og gasto ang tanan nga anaa kaniya, ang nasud nga iyang giadtoan naka sinati og grabe nga kawad-on, didto nag sugod ang iyang kalisod ;

¹⁵ busa tungod sa kawad-on ug kagutom, siya misulod isip sulogoon sa us aka molupyo didto nga may baboyan sa umahan.

¹⁶ Ug sugot na lamang siya nga matulog uban sa baboy ug gustong mokaon sa pagkaon sa baboy, apan walay minghatag kaniya.

¹⁷ Unya naka pamalandong siya ug siya miingon, “Sa among balay adunay daghang sulogoon ang akong amahan, adunay daghang pagkaon didto gani subra pa alang sa iyang mga sulogoon, apan ako ania himalatyon tungod sa kagutom!

¹⁸ Akong biyaan kining lugara ug mobalik ako sa akong amahan ug ingnon ko siya: Amahan nakasala ako batok sa langit ug batok kanimo;

¹⁹ Dili na ako angayan pang tawagon og anak; isipa nalang akong usa sa imong mga sulogoon.”

²⁰ Unya mibiya siya sa maong lugar ug mibalik ngadto sa iyang amahan. “Samtang naa pa siya sa layo, iyang amahan naka kita kaniya ug na looy kaniya. Midagan ang amahan paingon sa iyang anak og iyang gi bakyaw ang iyang mga kamot og gigakos niya kini ug gihalokan.

²¹ Unya iyang anak miingon, "Amahan, nakasala ako batok sa langit ug batok kanimo. Dili na ako angayan nga tawagon pa og anak.”

²² Apan ang amahan miingon ngadto sa iyang mga sulogoon , “Pagdali! Dalha nganhi ang pinaka maayong besti og ilisi siya, butangi og sing sing ang iyang mga tudlo og sul-oti og sandalyas ang iyang mga tiil.

²³ Pagdala dinhi og toro nga baka nga atong binuhi, ihawa kin; kay mag sadya kita pinaagi sa pista,

²⁴ tungod kay kining akong anak namatay na, apan mibalik pagka buhi; siya nawala ug karon na kaplagan.” Didto nagsugod ang kasadya.

²⁵ 'Niadtong panahona ang kamagulangan nga anak didto sa umahan, sa iyang pag uli ug nagkadool na siya sa balay, iyang nadungog ang mga musika ug huni ug hugyaw sa sayaw.

²⁶ Iyang gitawag ang usa sa mga sulogoon ug gipangutana mahitungod niini.

²⁷  Ang sulogoon miingon kaniya, "Imong manghud miabot, ug imong amahan nag paihaw og mga torong baka nga binuhi tungod kay miuli  siya nga walay kakulian."

²⁸ Nasuko kayo ang kamagulangan og wala kini moapil ngadto sa selebrasyon, apan gitawag siya sa iyang amahan;

²⁹ apan siya mitubag sa iyang amahan , "Tanang katuigan nag pailawom ako kanimo, wala koy gisupak sa imong mga sugo, apan wala gayud ikaw gani mo ingon kanako isip usa ka bata nga mohimo sa ingon ani nga selebrasyon kauban sa akong mga higala.

³⁰ Apan, kanang imong anak nga mibalik human niya hudta  ang imong mga katigayonan siya ug ang iyang mga babae, mag ihaw kana hinoon og torong baka nga atong binuhi.”

³¹ 'Ang amahan mi ingon, "Anak ikaw uban kanako kanunay ug ang tanang anaa kanako imoha usab.

³²  Apan angayan kita nga mag saulog ug magsadya, tungod ang imong igsoon namatay na, apan siya mibalik pagka buhi; siya nawala apan karon nakaplagan na." '

Pmalandong:

Ang pagpakighinabi sa mga gitoohang nasalaag aron mahatagan og kahigayonan sa kausaban usa ka krisohanong tahas, dili aron sila kondenahon  kon dili aron mahaw-as gikan sa pagka salaag sa dalan, susama sa gihimo ni Jesus nga siya nakigsalo sa pagpangaon sa mga kobrador sa buhis ug mga gitohoang mga makasasala.

Apan usahay sa atong tawhanong kinaiya, mas dali natong mag kondena og mga kalapasan, gani mas malipay kita nga magkondena, kay sa paghatag og kahigayonan nga makahimo og lakang alang sa kausaban.

Sa sambingay ni Jesus sa us aka anak nga nag usik usik sa katigayonan sa iyang amahan, usa ka talagsaon nga kahigayonan ug kaamgohan ang nahimo sa anak ug wala siya magpanuko sa pag-angkon sa iyang kahuyangon.

Gani sa wala pa siya mo surrender ngadto sa iyang amahan nag bansay bansay na siya unsay iyang isulti nga siya miingon “Amahan ako nakasala batok sa kahitas-an ug batok kanimo, dili ako angayan nga paga tawgon nga anak, isipa nalang ako nga usa sa imong mga sulogoon”.  Ug Kini mao gayod ang iyang gibuhat.

Ang Gibuhat sa amahan ngadto sa nawalang anak usa ka talagsaon ug dili kasarangn nga kinaiya sa amahan, diin naghagit kanatong mga amahan nga mao usab kini ang atong mamahimong kinaiya ngadto sa atong mga anak. Sa Ingon maka ambit kita sa Diosnong Kalooy nga kinaiya. Kinsa kaha kanato ang makahimo sa gihimo sa amahan sa sambingay ni Jesus?

Ang reaksyon sa kamagulangan nga anak, usa ka normal nga reaksyon sa tawhanong kinaiya. Tingali kon kita sa maong sitwasyon, mao usab tingali ang atong madali nga reaksyon.

Apan si Jesus mas nag hatag og gibug-aton sa gihimo sa kamanghurang anak diha sa iyang pag kaamgo nga siya nasayop ug gikan sa iyang pagka pukan, siya mibalik ngadto sa amahan.  Ang gibuhat sa amahan nga naa ang kamahigugmaon ug ka mapasayloon sa nag basol nga anak, ang amahan sa langit labaw pa niana ang kinaiya.

Busa ning semanaha, dayon paingon na usab sa Kwaresma, gihagit kita ni Jesus nga maka ambit kita sa kinaiya sa anak nga mahiunsolon sa mga kasaypanan ug mobalik ngadto sa amahan, sa ingon maka ambit usab kita sa kinaiya sa amahan nga mahigugmaon ug mapasayloon sa nagbasol nga anak.

Kitang tanan gihagit niini.

Iligan Ancestral Domain and Indigenous People Mandatory Rep
to the Sanguniang Panlungsod of Iligan City which in 2nd term

Datu Diamla lauded the forward looking of the Anac-IP which for him fitter of their outlooks for IP community Development through Empowerment.

In 1997, the Republic Act 8371 known as Indigenous Peoples Rights Act was approved by congress and signed into law by President Fidel V. Ramos.

But some of the applied ancestral domain, the certificates have not yet been awarded to the community where attributed to the shortfall of the NCIP efforts together with lacking of documentations and requirements from the ground.

ILIGAN CITY – The Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) has hosted the First Mindanao launching of Kilusang Pagbabago or movement for change at its gym where about 5,000 delegates all over Northern Mindanao participated. 

Sukarno Tanggol, MSU-IIT chancellor has lauded the initiative from the office of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and grateful for making its school one of the instruments for the success of the first Mindanao launching of the movement for change. 

“It is an honor for the Mindanao State University –Iligan Institute of Technology for making the school as the venue of the first Mindanao Launching of Movement for Change and I warmly welcome you all” Chancellor Tanggol stressed. 

Cabinet Secretary Leoncio “Jun” B. Evasco Jr., who was the keynote speaker of the launching revealed that corruption is the brain of all Philippine Problem.

Secretary Evasco strongly brought the message that the current government of President Rodrigo Duterte is consistently pursuing its campaign against corruption, illegal drugs and criminalities, saying that these problems would not be automatically eradicated within 100 days in government. 

“Corruption in the government is deepened which become normal and a culture of Filipino people saying that if you are working in government it is normal for them to be a corrupt”, Sec. Evasco lamented. 

He admitted that the government has no capacity to change itself because there are people even within are corrupt and also involved in drugs either police, judges, mayors, barangay captains, soldiers and many more.

About ninety two percent (92%) of the barangays in the country affected by illegal drugs”, He claimed.

He said President Duterte won via landslide votes of more than 16 million which highest of all previous presidents, and the information about drugs and corruption is coming from the people who are affected by poverty. 

The police scalawags would not be known if the people having enough knowledge would not have a stake for this, so changes would be happened through the people’s participation and that is why Movement for Change is necessary, he admitted.

This movement is peoples participation for those who believed the campaign against corruption, illegal drugs and criminalities.

He reiterated the president’s criticism to the Commission on Human Rights, United Nations and European Union for interfering the affair of the Philippine Government.

He said, human right is at all times correct especially if you believe in God, but when there is a collapse of criminal justice system, human rights is unpopular. 

Delegates all over Northern Mindanao joined the KP mass oath taking

He claimed that upon their roaming all over the country, people did not believe extra-judicial killing as alleged by critics, and that is why the president is steadfast on the campaign against corruption, illegal drugs and criminalities. 

Secretary Evasco has led the mass oath taking of the delegates of being member of the Kilusang Pagbabago of Movement for Change. He revealed that this movement is under the spirit of volunteerism and stake.

" We do not issue identification card and accepting membership fees as proof of  being one of the movement to avoid additional burden, the proof of being one with the movement is your action with the movement", He explained.

 By Tito Natividad Fiel 

Press Conference in MSU Board Room, Chancellor Sukarno Tanggol centerspeaks.

ILIGAN CITY – Mindanao State University –Iligan Institute of Technology Chancellor Sukarno Tanggol eyed Wednesday afternoon in a press conference in their board room that money making industry and drug trade may behind the kidnapping of six students on Saturday late night.

At this point in time there has no demand from the kidnappers, but ransom could be one reason and the other one is the drug trade happened in the surroundings and gradually entered inside the campus, Dr. Tanggol said. 

“There is already drug trading in the surroundings of the MSU –IIT and it gradually enters the campus but cannot prosper inside because of the close security procedure in entering inside that hinders from flooding of  drugs in the campus”, Dr. Tanggol stressed. 

 MSU-IIT Security Chief Eduardito “Ditto” Maruhom revealed in a press conference that weeks ago, they arrested a young man entered the campus which taking meal in the canteen, unfortunately he left his bag unattended where got attention of the security and inspected where it recovered two rolls of marijuana and materials used for shabu session. 

Both Chancellor Tanggol and Security Chief Maruhom confirmed that there were six young kidnapped by unidentified perpetrators which most of them students from MSU-IIT, two students remained captive while the four were released on Monday.

The two captive students by the alleged kidnappers identified as Berzon Paeste, 4^th year of Bachelor of Arts major in History coming from Zamboanga del Sur and Cid rick Jamias 5^th year of Bachelor of Science in Electronic from Tacurong City. 

While the four released were identified as Juhary Gubat, 1st year General Education student; Hannah Yurong, Kevin Limpin and Eloisa Lacson, all dropout students but now hiding with the fear to their lives. 

The university officials remained clueless of whom has abducted and held the remaining two students, but Chief Security Marohom appealed to the kidnappers that in the name of Peace and as the observance of Ramadan is ongoing, the two remained captive be released unconditionally.

These are the remained captives by the kidnappers which graduating students from MSU-IIT

“The parents of the two students could not afford even to pay right away their dormitory how much more to pay ransom which it is huge amount”, Mr. Marohom strongly appealed. 

Despite of cluelessness about group responsible in doing the kidnapping, but Mr. Marohom appeal suggests that the kidnappers belonged to Muslim elements but not clear which group of them has done it.

Dr. Tanggol expressed disappointment in a press conference over the kidnapping incident, saying that it is the first time happened in the MSU-IIT where its students kidnapped, hoping the Presumptive Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte will do more to discourage criminals. 

“We want the national government share to resolve this problem, law enforcement bodies like Philippine National Police, National Bureau of Investigation, Armed Forces of the Philippines must take it serious”, he strongly appealed. 

He appreciates the efforts of the law enforcement agencies looking this problem but he appealed to do more and make more coordinative and extensive efforts to resolve it immediately. 

MSU Security Chief Marohom also blamed the weak implementation of security matters in the city where some establishments of gas station vending not only gas but also liquors, cigarettes and no enough light and also no CCTV that will preempt criminals. 

He hints to agree of having curfew hours to be implemented in the city to curve the criminalities.

 He said in a press release shared in the press conference that the two remained captives were hanging out with the four released on Saturday night at the Caltex Gas Station in Tibanga, this city.

The group left the Caltex Gas Station premises in a white vehicle with plate number KGJ661 which allegedly driven by a certain as described cousin of Gubat.

The vehicle went through towards the Municipality of Linamon Lanao del Norte, the adjacent town of Ilgian City, but it got off at the gas station before Linamon to make a call, then continue their travel after the call, but upon reaching Linamon, a group of armed men stopped them. 

The students were said to have been blindfolded and brought to an unknown, uphill and muddy area where they were separately interviewed about their parents’ jobs. 

But Monday dawn, he revealed that  Gubat, Limpin, Yurong, and Lacson were released but all  are said to be in hiding for fear of their lives.

Maruhom claimed that the whereabouts and how to resolve it safely is already at hand but did not make more elaboration for security reasons.
