HeadlineGitnang LuzonSEPTEMBER 17, 2013FEATURE 3Angie Hizon ina huddle with allkinds of people inthe city.CouncilorAngie HizonMore beyond the nameText and photos by Joey Pavia & Robert Kentor CanlasWHEN someone hears her name,the huge success of theirfamily business is immediatelyabsorbed by the mind.Angelica “Angie” Olalia Hizon, whotopped the City of San Fernando, Pampangarace for councilor last May, is oneof the 12 children ofbusinesswoman Lolita Hizon.Angie’s mother is the major forcebehind the Pampanga’s Best Inc. foodprocessing firm, which has gross sales ofabout P1.5 billion in 2011 and P1.7 billionin 2012.Angie quickly pointed that her familyname had played a major role for her inwinning big in the recent elections thisyear.She added that it was her 76-year-oldmother who had instilled in their heartsand heads the importance of workinghard in order to be successful.“But my mother always tells herchildren that working hard and being tiredare not enough. One must make surethat what he or she is doing is right,” saidAngie.FIRST AMONG THE WOMENShe expressed gratitude to Lolita forallowing her to run for city councilor.“Everyone knows that my mother hasmore confidence and belief on her malechildren than the females. I needed her approvalbefore I can run. I was the first amongthe four women to be allowed to join publicservice,” said Angie, who was interviewedwith her husband Landlee Quiwa.Angie said it was an unforgettableand happy incident when her mother hadgiven her the blessings to enter politics.“Well, anyway, you (Angie) have acquiredmy ability to speak well, especiallyin public,” said Angie, quoting her motheras saying to her when she was asking forpermission.The family is originally from nearbyBacolor town but most of the Hizonsiblings now reside in the capital city andPampanga’s Best’s plant is in the sameplace.Angie and her three sisters and eightbrothers, including Ricky Hizon whoarrived at the middle of the interviewwith the neophyte city councilor at herresidence, grew up at the Hizon ancestralhouse at Homesite, Barangay Dolores,City of San Fernando.“It’s him,” said Angie to this HeadlineGitnang Luzon reporter, pointing to heryounger brother Ricky.Angie disclosed that it was Ricky,manager of the Pampanga’s Best plantin Barangay Dela Paz Norte, that hadsuggested that she should run for citycouncilor as the replacement for the originalchoice. Their brother, Darius Hizon,had begged off from joining politics.“Of course, the family’s name mustbe safeguarded and we must ensurea win. I knew Angie is the right choiceamong us and she will be victorious,”said Ricky.But Angie, who took up a master’sdegree in Business Administration at theAteneo De Manila University-Clark, saidshe had given much thought that shewould win a year ago as she began goingaround the city.“I was even surprised I topped therace for councilor,” said Angie.Angie said that the tremendoussupport of the City of San Fernandoresidents had made her want to “workmore and better.”“I will have the same passion anddedication in public service even if I hadbarely made it among the winning circle.But I have to admit that being numberone councilor had inspired me more,”said Angie.HELPING NOT GIVINGAngie stressed that it will not bepublic service if winning in elections ornot will change her passion to serve thepeople.“I will stick to my beliefs and convictionsregardless of the outcome of myfate in elections and politics,” said Angie.Among them, she added, is that“I don’t give dole-outs in the form ofmoney.”Angie said: “I do help. Don’t make amistake about it.”She had set-up her own office neartheir house to take care of the requests ofher constituents.Angie said her office gets at least 50letters or requests for assistance daily.“Then we take care of all therequests. But no cash involved. If theyneed medicines or other things, we buy itfor them,” said Angie.“If they get cash, they may be teased togamble because some of the Filipino peoplebank too much on luck,” she added.Angie belongs to the political partywhose mayor bet lost to former vicemayor and now Mayor Edwin Santiago.Asked if she considers herself as anopposition in the city council, Angie saidin jest: “They view me as an opposition.”“I am supportive of the projects andprograms of t Mayor Edwin for as longas they are for the good of the people,”stressed Angie.TRUTH AS TRUTHIn an interview that lasted for aboutan hour, Angie could not help but mentionthe controversy on the remaining2013 budget of the city government,notably on the funds left by the previousadministration.“We have all different views aboutthe truth. But there is no such thing ashalf-truth and partly true. Truth is truthregardless who gets hurt,” said Angie.She added that, “indeed the cityhas funds but our fellow councilor whoexposed it failed to add the truth that theremaining money are already obligated.”Angie quickly pointed out that it washer who suggested to the city councilthat they must first hold the proper andcomplete documents before sayinganything in public.“Then, all of a sudden, it was in themedia while we were still collecting thedocuments,” said Angie.Angie said that the concernedagency, Commission on Audit (COA), isset to make a report about the supposedexposé.“I leave it now to the COA which hasthe mandate to give the city’ state offinances. I have to go back to work andprefer not to live in the past and dwellmore on the controversy considering it’snow handled by the authorized governmentagency,” said Angie.Angie, a mother of four children, isnow taking up political science at theUniversity of Makati.“As you can see, I invest in educationand study,” said Angie. She said thatwhen she is at the city hall, she goesaround to research about how to improvethe delivery of basic services throughlegislation.Angie said that education is her priority.She recently filed a resolution askingthe city government to fund the majorrepair of two rooms at Camp Olivasearlier being used for teaching specialchildren.“The budget of P400,000 was approvedand I am happy for it,” said Angie.Asked if she will stay for a long timein public service, Angie said, “we have nohold of the future.”“What we may be now may not bethe case after a few years. Ten yearsago, my husband and I were thinking ofmigrating to Canada. But look at us now,I have stayed and even became a citycouncilor,” said Angie.“We should just do our best at presenttimes and wait for what the futuremay bring. More importantly, we stopliving in the past,” said Angie, who adoresthe pink color symbolizing her view of abeautiful life. ●

4HeadlineGitnang LuzonSEPTEMBER 17, 2013EDITORIALFood for thoughtThe Angeles City government should goeasy on imposing fees on businesses in theircity to ensure that they are not unnecessarilyencumbering those who generate income forAngeleños.The imposition of a seminar fee on businessesas prerequisite in the approval of permitscould be too much for the businessmenwho are already paying many other fees justto continue doing business in the city.At first glance, the P2,400 imposed for theseminar is but a small amount compared tothe good it could give to the end consumersof establishments in the food serving industry.An amount like that is peanuts in the faceof the protection that the city governmentcould create for the consuming public.However, the city government shouldalso consider that this amount comes fromthe businessmen and a good number ofthese food establishments are not raking inso much from the trade. There are many whoare still reeling from the high cost of doingbusiness and additional costs such as seminarfees would be too much.The city government, anyway, is responsiblein ensuring that the public is safe fromharm brought about by improper handling offood but it is also responsible in protectingbusinessmen.Since the government is generatingenough resources from these establishments,maybe it is fitting that the local governmentunit provides ways to educate thesebusinessmen on how to handle food withouthaving to impose fees on these businesses.On the other hand, if the businessmenwho are into food service do not have theproper know-how in safe-handling food, theadditional fee could be much lesser comparedto getting the knowledge from otherprofessional food handlers.As a win-win solution, perhaps, the cityand the businessmen could meet halfwayby way of the LGU’s holding of seminars insuch as a way that it will not be too much of aburden to the finances of the concerned businessgroup.For the part of the businessmen, theyshould ensure that what was taught to themwill be implemented in their establishmentsor face sanctions and penalties much heavierthan the one-time fee for the seminar.HEADLINE Gitnang Luzon is a Daily Regional NewspaperGeneral Manager: Atty.

Nos. (045) 435-0938“This short-lived happinessof permanently temporaryemployees ends without failafter the “ber” months.”Everyone waits for the “ber”months year after year. Filipinoslook forward to coolermonths and the prospect of Christmasbonuses. But things are shiftingaway from the perennial happyexpectations to the distressingand the unforeseen. While coolermonths are getting hot because ofclimate change, family heads aregetting even hotter because Christmasbonuses are getting thinner ifnot completely disappearing in thecontext of an economic growth stillmarked by increasing unemploymentand contractualization of labor.Contractualization, a form of underemployment,has become themain form of labor in many Philippinebusinesses, a good reasonwhy more and more workers do notenjoy security of tenure and keeplosing benefits that are tied to thebasic principle embodied in ourconstitution placing full employmentas a fundamental right of everycitizen. This matter has been thesubject of endless debates but whatseems to get the upper hand most ofthe time among the country’s economicmanagers is the side of jobcreation that addresses the everpresentunemployment in mannersunimaginatively dependent on investmentsthat forever seek the lowestlabor cost. Capital in malls andother sales outfits exploits the “ber”months for higher profits by absorbingmore contractuals that renderlabor as seasonal beneficiary ofthe economy. This short-lived happinessof permanently temporaryemployees ends without fail afterthe “ber” months.Less problematic in other wayswas the world shift from the Romancalendar to the Gregorian calendar‘Ber’ months and those who toilthat added the months of Januaryand February but made the namesof the “ber” months inconsistentwith their resulting positions. Septemberfrom the Latin word “septa”,meaning seven, was pushed to theninth position, October from “octo”,meaning eight, fell to tenth, Novemberfrom “novem”, meaning nine,went to eleventh and finallyDecember from“decem”, meaning ten,ended twelfth. The “ber”months of the Gregoriancalendar, despite theirincongruous names, retainedtheir basic essenceof solar and planetarytime configurations. Thisis somewhat differentfrom what we experiencenow in the country. The“ber” months retainedtheir names but their essencein the minds of thetoiling Filipinos is continuouslyshifting with uncertaintyfrom happy configurations of hopeto hopefully happy concessions atbest.Normally the “ber” months markthe period when tropical stormsin the country peak then hibernate.This year, however, the “ber”months are turning out to be thelingering season for social stormscreated by citizens’ discontent overthe massive pork scam in whichcontext the 10-peso wage increasewas announced just recently by thegovernment and was received withso much displeasure and ridicule.According to labor groups, the increasewill not even meet the increasein food prices alone. Theyare now calling for more mass actionsto dramatize their plight. Thesocial climate is getting hot fasterthan PAGASA can get its temperaturereadings these “ber” months.Farmers in the countryside whopopulate the Amorsolo paintings ofidyllic Filipino living are no longerthe bearers of handmade star lanternsfor Christmas but bearersgut feelLeny Manaloof flags and streamers of protestover the unabated importation andsmuggling of agricultural productsduring the “ber” months that stealaway the traditional year-end joyfrom those who till the land. Eventhe hard-to-explain increase in theprices of rice at the start of Septemberdoes not seem to accrue tothe benefit of the planters.That is why labor refusesto recognize the factoringof additional income forfarmers into higher pricesof food such as rice exacerbatingtheir dissatisfactionwith respect to therecent 10-peso wage increase.The two best known heroesof the Filipinos areremembered annuallyduring the “ber” months,the bolo-wielding Gat AndresBonifacio on November30 for his birth and thepen-driven Dr. Jose Rizal on December30 for his martyrdom. Inbetween is the calming birthday ofour Savior, Jesus Christ, on December25. This is how you realize thatdespite the grim scenarios that Filipinosmay go through every year,God made sure that they will alwaysbe reminded to temper socialupheaval with firm determinationfor peaceful change that is basicallyguided by truth, reason and respectfor their “kapwa”, “kapwa tao”, “kapwaPilipino”.I have the gut feeling that the“ber” months might still bringpeace to the hearts of Filipinos andinstill contentment in their minds ifjustice would prevail over the resolutionof the all-consuming pork issuethat has been draining the governmentdry of moral ascendancyin facing other big problems of thecountry including those affectingthe national security. Those whotoil may then possibly become moreforgiving and find a dash of hopefor change by the end of the “ber”months. ●

I really don’t knowwhy ‘yung iba, walang bilibsa kanya gayong he’s sucha good actor naman. Dito,napakaganda ng role niyaas the least favoured son ofEmilio Garcia kasi inaapisiya ng asawa nito, si CarmiMartin as Aljur’s cruelstepmother. He’s definitelyvery serious with his craft asan actor at nai-insecure ngaako sa dynamics ng actingniya.

She said they havea video footage of such scenario.“The HAU managementalso found text messagesfrom HAUTEU supportersurging students to blockschool entrances to preventstudents from entering,” Santossaid in her statement.“The university condemnsthe continuous efforts of thestriking HAUTEU officersand members to involve ourstudents in the ongoing labordispute as a strategy to forcemanagement to agree to theirdemands,” she said.Santos also hit the union’sdemonstration last week saying“they timed with the dismissalof afternoon classesand start of evening classesto take advantage of the ingressand egress of thousandsof college students.”Although about 500 collegestudents joined the rally,Santos said 13,000 studentsstayed in their classrooms.“HAUTEU has been tryingto solicit the support offraternities, leftist groups,students and their parentsto hide the fact that there areonly 175 HAUTEU memberson strike out of 942 HAU employees,”Santos added.The HAU managementalso commended their studentleaders, the officersForce One-Million Trees program, sothat it can get the support it needs.“Right now, with over hundreds ofthousands of trees planted, the taskforce is currently facing the challenge ofnot having enough ground to plant on.However, with Dela Torre’s invention,we could continue planting in AngelesCity and make it one of the greenestplaces in the country, if not the world,”Pamintuan said.The mayor added that, together withDela Torre, they will work on holdingseminars within the 33 barangays of thecity so that they can promote the productionand development of the water bonsaino overcharging from Page 1manual, handouts and certificates ofattendance.Cunanan made the statementafter City Councilor Carmelo “Pogi”Lazatin, Jr., appealed to the city governmentto waive such fee after receivingseveral complaints from entrepreneursset to attend the said event.“Last Friday, maraming mga negosyantena nag-ooperate ng food establishmentsang kumausap sa akintungkol sa gaganaping food handlingseminar ng city government,” Lazatinsaid, “Masyado daw malaki angP2,500 na kailangan nilang bayaranpara sa seminar.”According to Lazatin, a perusal ofthe seminar invitation and programrevealed that most, if not all, of theresource persons are city governmentemployees.“Karamihan naman ng speakerssa seminar ay city hall employeesat parte naman ito ng public serviceat wala namang bayad sa resourcespeakers,” he said.Lazatin said, “The amount ofP2,500 is a little steep considering nalahat ng food establishment ownersand operators ay required to attend.”Lazatin said that he applauds thecity government’s efforts to ensurethe safety and health of consumersthrough seminars like these, however,it is also important to considerthe burden on owners and operatorsof food establishments.“Hindi naman lahat ng food establishmentay malaki so the amountof P2,500 may be affordable to someowners and operators while expensiveto others. Hopefully, the city governmentwill find a way to reconcilethis,” Lazatin said.Lazatin also questioned why theseminar will be held in a simple venue.Seminar InclusionsMeanwhile, CHO official Cunanansaid that part of the fee will alsoinclude the cost of transportationthat will bring the seminar attendeesto and from the Mekeni Food Corporation’s(MFC) processing plant inBarangay Balubad, Porac.He said that the ocular visit willbe included in the two-day certificationcourse to give the participants achance to see the operations of Mekeni.Mekeni is a world class companythat is committed to produce meatproducts in accordance to the higheststandard in quality and food safety.Cunanan, however, clarified thatthe scheduled seminar on September18 and 19 will be cancelled as they arelooking for another venue that will beconducive to the participants.of the University StudentCouncil, the College StudentCouncils and accreditedstudent organizations andpublications “who showedadmirable restraint, maturityand leadership by refusingto take sides in the labordispute and by letting the legalprocesses take their duecourse.”Meanwhile, the HAU Parents-TeachersAssociation(PTA) issued a board resolutionurging both partiesto end the labor dispute andagreed that their childrenwould continue attendingclasses.HAUTEU members wenton strike after a deadlock inthe CBA negotiations mainlyon the computation of the70 percent incremental proceeds,which the union demandedto see. ●technology on a much wider scale.In making water bonsai, plant cuttingscan be used that would be placedin a container with the bonsai solution(water & Dela Torre’s own powderedgrower mixture).

Ang kawawadito ay ang mga magsasaka at ang mga ordinaryongmamamayan na walang magawa kundi angbumili ng bigas sa presyong mas mahal.Noong nakalipas na linggo, nagpalabas ng lihamang NFA Pampanga sa pamumuno ni ElviraObaña sa mga Sangguniang Bayan at Panlungsodna naghihikayat na magpasa sila ng mga ordinansana nag-uutos sa mga iba’t-ibang mga kainan naisama sa kanilang mga “menu” ang “half (cup)rice”.Kung ating papansinin, marami sa ating mgakababayan ang kumakain sa mga kainan nahindi nakakaubos ng kanilang mga kanin. Kadalasan,ito ay itinatapon lang o ginagawang pagkainng hayop ng mga may-ari ng mga kainan.Dahil sa walang “half-rice” sa mga “menu” ngmga kainan, marami sa kaning inihahain sa mgahapag-kainan ang nasasayang lamang dahil hindinaman ito nauubos ng mga kumakain.Tama nga naman ang NFA dito. Bakit hinditayo magkaroon ng mga ordinansa o mga lokal nabatas na mag-uutos sa mga may-ari ng mga kainanna mag-“serve” sila ng “half-rice” para sa kanilangmga kostumer na hindi malakas kumain ng kanin?Para sa mga kumakaing kostumer, hindi namanito sapilitan kundi isang “option” lamang nila paralang hindi masayang ang ino-order nilang kanin.Isa ring maaaring maging katulong sa aksiyongito ng NFA ay ang pagbibigay ng mga limitasyonsa mga “rice-all-you-can” na mga pakulo ng mgarestoran at iba pang mga kainan. Ito ay isa din namangpagsasayang ng kanin sapagkat pilit natingdinadagdagan ang kanin nating kinakain dahilnga sa ito ay “unlimited”. Likas sa ating mga Pinoyang sinusulit ang perang ibinabayad natin sa atingmga binibili kung kaya’t pinipilit nating kumainng maraming kanin na higit pa sa normal natingkonsumo ng kanin.Maaari naman sigurong humingi nang librengkanin na kaya lang nating ubusin pero huwag namansanang maging “unlimited” ito na mauuwilamang sa pagsasayang ng kaning hindi natinmauubos.***Kung kayo po ay may mga reaksiyon, suhestiyono iba pang opinion, maaari po kayong magemail sa myonecadence@yahoo.com. ●maili ta pa from Page 5PILAN LA?Kilub na ning klasi babye yang kutang ing titser.TITSER: OK class!
