1,000 pulis madedestino sa Metro

B

Ni Tarra V. Quismundo

ABANTAYAN ng may 1,000 pulis mula sa elite na Regional Mobile Group (RMG) ng National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) ang mga crime hotspot sa Metro Manila upang matiyak ang kaligtasan ng mga magdiriwang ng Kapaskuhan.

Sinabi ni NCRPO Director Jefferson Soriano na pangungunahan ng RMG—dating kilala bilang Regional Special Action Unit—ang anti-terror at anti-crime campaign ng pulisya, partikular sa mga mall, terminal ng bus at pantalan. Batay sa datos ng NCRPO, tumataas ang bilang ng krimen mula Oktubre hanggang Nobyembre at bumababa pagdating ng Disyembre. “We are downloading 1,000 RMG officers … That will be only for the yuletide season. We need the RMG as our front liners for terrorism and other serious crimes,” sabi ni Soriano. “We will study where the crimeprone areas are and we will give them the RMG officers,” dagdag

niya. Partikular na babantayan ng pulisya ang mga sindikato ng mga mandarambong na nagpapanggap na pulis o sundalo. Mula noong Disyembre 2007 ay sumalakay na nang 16 na ulit ang pangkat na ito at kabilang sa kanilang nabiktima ay isang warehouse ng National Food Authority, isang kumpanya ng soft drink at ilan pang establisyementong pangkalakalan. Dahil sa mga pangyayari na gumagamit ng uniporme ng SWAT ang mga kawatan ay ipinagbawal ni Soriano ang pagsusuot nito ang mga pulis. Nag-alok din siya ng P500,000 pabuya para sa impormasyon sa ikahuhuli ng mga mandarambong.

Agawan ng lupa sa Boracay

T

UTOL ang isang pangkat ng mga mamumuhunan ng Hong Kong sa tinuturing na pang-aagaw ng lupa ng pamahalaan ng Pilipinas sa Boracay Island, inulat ng Sunday Morning Post kahapon.

Magpapatawag ng press conference ang pangkat ngayong araw upang maiangat ang pagnanais nitong mabaligtad ang proklamasyon ni Pangulong Macapagal-Arroyo noong 2006 na ituring na pag-aari ng pamahalaan ang mahigit kalahati sa 1,032-ektaryang pulo. Pinagtibay ng Korte Suprema ang proklamasyon noong isang buwan. Alinsunod sa kautusan, kailangang muling

bilhin ng ilang may-ari ang kanilang lupa, ayon sa ulat. “It’s very unfair,” ani Stephen Arseno, abogado at may-ari ng lupa na nakikipagtunggali sa pamahalaan, ulat ng Post. “This is an international issue because...so many foreigners invested in Boracay. The Philippines does not want a reputation for being a place where property rights are not respected,” ani Arseno. Tanyag ang Boracay sa mga bakasyonista dahil sa mala-pulbos na puting buhangin dito at kaaya-ayang tanawaing dagat. Itinuturing itong isa sa pinakamagagandang beach sa mundo at kahali-halina sa mga mamumuhunang Pilipino at dayuhan.

Bagyong ‘Quinta’ nagbabantang bumalik at magbuhos ng ulan TINUTULAK ng malalakas na hangin ang Bagyong “Quinta” pabalik sa Pilipinas, ngunit isang low pressure area ang nagdala ng ulan sa Central at southern Luzon, kabilang ang Metro Manila, noong Linggo, sinabi ng weather bureau kahapon. “One scenario we are monitoring is Quinta might return to the Philippine area of responsibility,” ani Nathaniel Cruz, weather bureau chief ng Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical

and Astronomical Services Administration ( Pa g a s a ) , s a i s a n g panayam sa telepono. Namataan si Quinta (international name Maysak) 470 kilometro kanluran ng Laoag City na may maximum sustained winds na 85 kph malapit sa mata at pagbugsong hanggang 100 kph. Ayon kay Cruz, malalaman ngayong umaga kung muling papasok sa Pilipinas si Quinta, na agad sinundan ng Bagyong “Rolly.” Nikko Dizon

NAMANGHA ang Pilipinas sa pag-ahon ni Thaksin Shinawatra sa sumasadsad na ekonomiya ng Thailand nang magsalita ito sa Maynila limang taon na ang nakalilipas. Ngunit hindi na siya tatanggapin sa Pilipinas kung naisin niyang magbalik dito. Ayon kay Foreign Undersecretary Frank-

Inquirer Read-Along wins Quill By Edson C. Tandoc Jr.

FOR SPREADING passion for reading to more than 4,000 children in just over a year through teamwork and volunteerism within the news organization, the INQUIRER Read-Along project is now recognized as a benchmark of excellence in business communication.

The Philippine Quill, the country’s most prestigious award-giving body for business communicators, handed the award of excellence to the hour-long, bi-monthly undertaking. From more than 200 entries this year, the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines, which gives out the Quill, cited 32 recipients for excellence. The Philippine Daily Inquirer was the only newspaper company named for excellence. The INQUIRER Read-Along won in the economic,

social and environmental development category. “The 2008 Philippine Quill Awards shows us what Filipino communication professionals have been doing the past year when the global downturn began to take effect,” says the IABC Philippines during the program and ceremonies held Friday at the Hyatt Hotel and Casino in Manila. Launched in May 2007, the INQUIRER ReadAlong began as a “simple, low-cost” idea aimed at encouraging public use of the INQUIRER Library, research head Minerva Generalao says. The idea was first called “reading sessions” and was targeted at school children “because we wanted to start the habit of reading while they are still young,” she adds. But how do you make reading fun for children? INQUIRER editor in chief Letty Jimenez Magsanoc renamed the project “INQUIRER ReadAlong” and suggested that celebrities and role models be invited to read stories to pupils.

Problema sa biyenan

DEAR Emily,

Nag-iisa ang anak kong babae at dalawa na lang kaming pamilya mula nang mamatay ang asawa ko. Nasa Maynila ako at siya naman ay nakapangasawa ng tagaprobinsiya. Nag-iisang anak rin ang kanyang asawa at kapisan nila ang biyenang niyang biyuda rin. Sampung taon na silang mag-

4 EMILY’S CORNER

By Emily Marcelo

asawa pero wala pa rin silang anak. Salesman ang asawa niya kaya madalas matagal na wala ito sa bahay. Ang problema ko ay tahimik at mabait ang aking anak at alam kong inaapi siya ng kanyang biyenan. Minsan, nang magkita kami nito, bigla na lang siyang naiyak at sinabi niyang hindi na siya makatagal sa biyenan niya. Wala na raw siyang ginawang tama. Hindi ito alam ng asawa niya dahil kaybait-bait daw ng biyenan niya ’pag kaharap ang anak niya. Ayokong makialam sa buhay nila pero naaawa ako sa anak ko. Gusto ko sanang kausapin ang manugang ko pero baka kampihan lang niya ang nanay niya, pati kami ay magkasamaan ng loob. MRS A KAILANGANG ang anak mo ang kumausap sa asawa niya. O ang mas mabuti ay humiwalay na sila sa biyenan niya. Mahirap ang dalawang reyna sa bahay. Wala silang makikitang katahimikan habang lagi silang nagkakatitigan nito. Kung kaya rin naman nilang mag-sarili, bakit hindi ito ang imungkahi niya sa kanyang asawa. Walang masama do’n. Malaking pasang krus ang laging kakaba-kaba ang dibdib mo at hinihintay mo na lang ang masakit na sasabihin ng isang kasambahay mo sa bahay na hindi mo naman maaway nang husto. Buhay ito ng anak mo at kailangang siya ang umayos nito.

By Pocholo Concepcion A MONO vinyl record of Yoyoy Villame’s Mag-Exercise Tayo in Bisaya, with a rondalla, wafted through the house speakers at the CCP’s Silangan Hall. It must’ve been the original version; since Villame, who was proudly Bisaya, jumpstarted his career in his native Bohol. As the song played on, organizers of the concert Si Lapulapu, Si Rosas Pandan: A Bisaya Musical Extravaganza—set Nov. 22, 8 p.m. at the CCP Main Theater (Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo)—dished out some interesting bits of music history. “Did you know,” asked Bal Endriga, president of concert presenter Kadugong Bisaya Foundation,

“that the song ‘Sa Kabukiran’ by Manuel Velez was originally a Visayan ditty?” Endriga continued, “I felt proud when, in my youth, I learned that the tinikling was the national dance. Until then I had known it as a game we played in Leyte as

children … we used bamboos named after a native bird, the tikling. He added that the classic Yuletide carol, Ang Pasko ay Sumapit, was, in fact, a Tagalog adaptation of the Visayan Kasadya Ning Taknaa. In other words, for Endriga and friends, it’s cool to be Bisaya.

“My Ate often raided my closet for new outfits, especially when she was so busy with work and had no time to shop. This often happened during ‘ASAP’

days,” said Alex as she ushered Living Stars into her bedroom on the second floor of the Gonzaga home in Taytay, Rizal. Elder sister Toni, in a

previous chat with INQUIRER Entertainment, admitted this. “Alex has funkier taste in clothes. She’s not afraid to try new things. I go for simple things. This is why

she always has better stuff in her than I do,” said Toni. What Toni did not know abou sister was that Alex liked buying similar to what she sees on her fa TV shows. “These days, it’s ‘Sex a the City.’ I like Charlotte (Kristin and Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parke fashion sense.

Kiko on his battle with cancer

(From Francis M.’s blog, portions of which, like the following, are being circulated via email by concerned friends.) “WHEN YOU HEAR the word bone marrow, the first thing that comes to mind is bulalo. That’s the delicacy that I really love to eat every now and then. “Little did I know that one day my own bone marrow would be extracted. It is quite painful, especially [when] the anaesthesia … is injected. The extraction itself is stressful because even if my backside was numb, I could feel the steel hitting bone. “When I [was told] I had this cancer of the blood … I blurted … ‘S***, I won’t reach 50?’ “Pain is associated with this illness, and you battle it with chemotherapy … What does one do [while having] chemo? Read a book, listen to music, watch TV, DVDs and pray, pray, pray. “For now I am alive, one day at a time.”

ROY JONES JR BIGO

Panalo alay ni Calzaghe sa ina N

EW YORK—Bumangon ang Briton na si Joe Calzaghe matapos bumagsak sa first round upang dominahin si American Roy Jones Jr. at mapanatili ang titulong Ring Magazine light heavyweight sa pamamagitan ng unanimous decision.

ARRRGH

ISANG malakas na kaliwa ni Joe Calzaghe ang tumama sa panga ni Roy Jones Jr. (kaliwa) sa kanilang bakbakang light-heavyweight Sabado sa Madison Square Garden sa New York City. Bumagsak sa first round si Calzaghe ngunit nagawa pa rin niyang bugbugin si Jones upang kunin ang tagumpay sa pamamagitan ng unanimous 12-round decision. AFP

Jackpot hangad ni Pacquiao vs DL Hoya Ni Salven Lagumbay

S A N F R A N C I S C O, C a . — Kinumpara ni Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao ang laban niya kay Oscar De la Hoya sa laro ng darts na kung saan ay kukunin niya ang jackpot sa pamamagitan ng pagtira sa bullseye Disyembre 6 sa Las Vegas. Sa kanyang kolum sa Philboxing.com, sinabi ni Pacquiao na todo-ensayo siya sa

Wild Card Gym sa Los Angeles upang tiyakin ang kanyang tagumpay kay De La Hoya. Sinabi rin ni Pacquiao na nahuhumaling siya sa larong darts sa kanyang tirahan sa Palazzo. “Bukod sa pag-gitara, paglalaro ng chess, pagkanta sa karaoke at marami pang ibang pinagkakaabalahan, ako ngayon ay nalilibang sa paglalaro ng darts,” sabi ni Pacquiao.

Bago ang sapakan, nagpahiwatig si Calzaghe na balak na niyang mag-retiro ngunit matapos ang tagumpay Sabado ay iba na ang kanyang sinabi. “I’m going to go home and talk to my family and think about it,” sabi ni Calzaghe na tubong Wales. Ipinahayag rin ni Calzaghe ang kanyang pagmamahal sa kanyang ina habang nag-aawitan ang kanyang mga tagahanga. “Hey mom,” ani Calzaghe habang nakaharap sa TV camera.“I love you. I’m sorry if I made you nervous in the first round.”

Pumutok ang ilong ni Calzaghe, 36, at pinabagsak siya ng kaliwa’t-kanan na kombinasyon ni Jones sa simula ng bakbakan. Ngunit mainit ang kanyang pagbabalik upang gawing punching bag si Jones na walong beses ng naging world champion. Gumanda ang marka ni Calzaghe sa 46-0 panalo-talo. Umaagos ang dugo sa mukha ni Jones, 39, nang paputukin ni Calzaghe ang kanyang kaliwang mata sa seventh round. Natikman ni Jones ang ika-limang talo kontra 52 panalo. Panalo si Calzaghe sa lahat

ng round maliban sa first round. Pinaulanan ng Welshman ng mga kombinasyon si Jones. Tinuya pa ni Calzaghe si Jones sa pamamagitan ng pagbababa ng kanyang mga kamay bilang hamon na siya suntukin. “He stunned me with a good shot in the first round but that is what champions are all about,” sabi ni Calzaghe. “I’ve been down before but I’ve also got back up.’’ Tulad ng kanyang naunang laban sa US, bumagsak rin si Calzaghe sa first round bago bawian si Bernard Hopkins. “This year I beat two legends. I took the risk. I came to the US and I beat both those guys. Pabor ang tatlong hurado kay Calzaghe, 118-109. Inquirer Wires

Pinuri rin ni Van Gundy si Bogans dahil sa kanyang mahigpit na depensa. “I didn’t do anything different,” ani Bogans. “I do what I do every game. I come out, try to keep the intensity going and try to stay up in guy’s faces because he (Van Gundy) looks

for me to bring energy and defense off the bench.” Laglag ang Wizards sa 0-5. Tanging ang Washington ang koponan sa Eastern Conference na hindi pa nakakatikim ng panalo. Limitado sa tig-10 puntos sina Caron Butler at Antawn Jamison. Sa iba pang mga laro, tinambakan ng Indiana Pacers ang New Jersey Nets,98-80 at dinurog ng New Orleans Hornets ang Miami Heat,100-89. Pinataob ng Cleveland ang Chicago, 106-97; wagi ang Phoenix sa Milwaukee, 101-94 at lusot ang Portland sa Minnesota,97-93.Reuters
