32 Features T HEY M AKE NFA PROUD ................................................................................................................. A S E R I E S Honesty is the best policy, indeed, in any situation. This timeless truth on the cornerstone of character has been proven again in this present day and age. At about 10:00 o’clock in the morning on May 22, 2012, Nelia Litrero Hilario, cashier of NFA Sultan Kudarat Provincial Office for 33 years went to the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) branch in the municipality of Isulan of said province to encash a check amounting to, more or less, P233,000.00 that is intended for Nelia litrero hilario: Cashier, NFA-Sultan Kudarat the salaries of regular employees. Immediately after receiving from the bank teller the envelope containing the cash, she headed back to the provincial office with the thought that the amount is exact as it normally happens throughout the long years of regularly transacting with the bank’s local branch. After completing the process of putting the corresponding amount of cash of each employee’s salary in the individual pay envelope and after thoroughly double-checking them did she finally conclude that there remained indeed, excess cash. It amounts to P100,000.00. At once, she notified PM Pangalian B. Busran regarding the incident who immediately instructed her to go back to the bank branch office to return the excess amount. “Salamat gid, Nel,” the bank teller heartily expressed when Ms. Hilario handed to her the envelope containing the excess amount of the earlier encashed check. The bank Branch Manager then sent a letter to the NFA provincial office commending and thanking Ms. Hilario for her honesty and integrity adding that “she is an example for us to live by”. She was awarded a Certificate of Commendation in a simple but fitting ceremony last July 9 by the Regional Management Committee (RMC) headed by Dir. Crestituto C. Mangaoang and witnessed by Dir. Judy Carol L. Dansal, Department Manager of HRMD, during the monthly RMC meeting held at Lake Sebu in South Cotabato for her exemplary and extraordinary act of honesty, integrity and professionalism in the highest degree lauded and thanked by the management of LBP. But for Ms. Hilario, it was nothing out of the ordinary in her more than three decades of discharging cashiering functions in NFA. For her, she just simply did “what is normal” and “what is right”. Indeed, honesty and, to add, humility are cornerstones of a person’s character. (AGERICO B. BAQUIRAN, correspondent) WE ARE THE CHAMPION. The family of NFAEA National President Roman M.

Carlo Francisco Y. Manatad: Director, Cinematographer, Editor Features 33 Carlo Francisco Y. Manatad is a son every parent would be proud of. He’s got accomplishments under his belt that can leave anyone green with envy. First stop, his degree. He’s a Bachelor of Arts in Films and Visual Arts graduate from the College of Mass Communication of the University of the Philippines in Diliman (UP-CMC), aside from a scholar of the Asian Film Academy. Considering that he only graduated in 2011, he’s been reaping one award after another for his various works in film. Carlo, the only son of Northern Samar Provincial Manager Ruben Manatad, has been joining film festivals here and abroad. Last February 11 – 17, his short film “Oasis” starring Sid Lucero was shown in the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival. Carlo was one of 350 filmmakers from 99 countries invited to this festival. In 2010, he was selected as a fellow in the Asian Film Academy 2010 in Pusan, South Korea from September 30 to October 17. Interestingly, only 24 students from 16 Asian countries were selected and Carlo was the youngest in the said batch. His film thesis Hungkag, a short digital film with him as the director, producer, writer, sound designer, editor, and colorist was one of ten nominees for Best Short Film in the 34 th Gawad Urian Award. Although his film was not chosen during the awarding ceremonies, having been nominated for the prestigious award among hundreds of short films in the country is an honor in itself. Hungkag was actually awarded by the UP Film Institute for Best Thesis for Narrative in 2010. This film was screened, nominated and awarded in various film festivals including, Ani Shorts: The City in Indie Cinema, Cinemalaya 2010; Southeast Asian Cinemas Conference, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam; International College Peace Film Festival, Overseas Student Non- Competition Section, Seoul, South Korea on October 27, 2010; and Best Cinematography, Ateneo Video Open 2011. The same film, “Hungkag” was exhibited as a non-competition film in the Overseas Student category under Asian Premiere of the International College Peace Film Festival in Chuncheon, Korea on October 28, 2010 and Oct. 29, 2010. This 2011 UP-CMC Natatanging Magaaral awardee is also active in film editing. In fact in Dagim, a narrative feature length film directed by Joaquin Pedro Valdes, Carlo, along with other editors, was adjudged Best Editing for Cinema One Originals in November 2010. His list of achievements doesn’t stop there. His narrative film, Ihadya Mo Ako Sa Masama, with him as director, producer, writer, cinematographer, editor, and colorist was adjudged Best Picture and Best Cinematography at the Twenty Quatro 24 Hour Guerilla Filmmaking Contest, DLSU-College of St. Benilde. This film also made it as finalist to the SM Bigshot 2010, Manila. At the moment, this Berlinate Talent Campus-educated film genius teaches film-related course at Dela Salle University, College of St. Benilde while busy conceptualizing another masterpiece. Now that’s one talented son of a provincial manager the entire NFA community is truly proud of. (MA. LINA G. REYES) tominaman m. usop: Security Guard III - NFA Central Office Mr. Tominaman M. Usop, security guard III based in Central Office has topped a recent NFA Security Refresher Course held at the training center of the Valiant Security Training Center, Inc. in Boni Ave., Crame, Quezon City. The Board of Trustees of the Valiant Security Training Center composed of Training Director and President Vicky G. Ballesteros, General Manager Manelle B. Robles and Training Officer Mary Ann Bulan-Mendieta cited Usop’s outstanding leadership skills during the 17-day security retraining course. Usop was awarded a Certificate of Recognition during the graduation rites where he delivered a speech for being the class president. “I hope and pray that we will put to good use what we have learned from this training for the benefit of our agency. We should prioritize what we can do for our agency and not what our agency can do for us,” he said. Usop expressed gratitude to the NFA and the Training Center for the opportunity given them to update their knowledge and skills specifically on the revisions or changes in the implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act 5487 that they can share with their colleagues. RA 5487 is an act governing the security industry including government security forces. (CORAZON L. ABIO)
