Dengue cases in Pampanga rising 

Pineda 

intensifies 

campaign 

vs. TB 

By Jenna luMBang 


DO—In a bid to improve the 

province’s performance in 

the fight against tuberculosis 

(TB), Gov. Lilia “Nanay” 

Pineda allocated P5 million 

for the Directly Observed 

Treatment Short (TB- DOTS) 

course accreditation of all 

district hospitals and rural 

health units (RHUs). 

During the meeting of 

Pineda with the Municipal 

Health Officers (MHO), City 

Health Officer (CHO), and 

directors of District and 

Provincial Hospitals, she 

has learned that some of the 

government hospitals in the 

province and most RHUs 

are not TB DOTS certified 

because of inadequate equipment 

and facilities. 

TB DOTS is a treatment 

strategy for detection and 

cure of tuberculosis recommended 

by World Health Organization 

(WHO). This approach 

has five components: 

political commitment, case 

detection or sputum smear 

microscopy, drug supplies 

and a standardized recording 

and reporting system 

that allows assessment of 

treatment results.

incidence of dengue in its 

communities, particularly in 

barangay Quebiawan. 

The report was presented 

to the public health doctors 

and including the municipal 

health officers in various municipalities 

in the province in 

a recent meeting held on Saturday. 

It can be recalled that the 

city government previously 

led the country’s observance 

of the Association of Southeast 

Asian Nations (Asean) 

Dengue Day at the Heroes 

Hall here. 

During the Dengue Day 

observance, Health Secretary 

Enrique Ona and Mayor Oscar 

Rodriguez spearheaded 

the launching of an antidengue 

campaign dubbed as 

“Sama-Sama Tayong Mag- 

Aksyon, Barangay Kontra 

Dengue.” 

It was participated in by 

hundreds of health workers, 

barangay officials, and other 

delegates from Central Luzon, 

Calabarzon (Calamba, Laguna, 

Batangas, Rizal, Quezon), 

Mimaropa and Metro Manila. 

Dengue is a disease caused 

by the bite of Aedes aegypti 

mosquito. Headache, fever, 

muscle and joint pains, and 

skin rashes characterized the 

disease. (PNA)

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT—Two top officials 

of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority 

(SBMA) have gone on indefinite leave following 

allegations that SBMA officials have connived 

with Freeport locators in an attempt to 

smuggle into the country 420,000 sacks of 

rice from India. 

SBMA Chairman and Administrator Roberto 

Garcia announced in a press conference 

on August that the SBMA board has designated 

the SBMA Committee on Governance, 

headed by Philip Camara, to investigate on 

the alleged conspiracy and submit the results 

of its investigation to the Senate. 

The two officials who went on leave are 

SBMA Senior Deputy Administrator for Trade 

and Investment Stefani Sano and SBMA Senior 

Deputy Administrator for Port Operations 

Red Tuazon. 

The Bureau of Customs earlier seized 

P500-million worth of illegally imported rice 

here after the consignee, Metroeastern Trading 

Corporation (MTC), failed to produce Allocation 

and Import permits from the National 

Food Authority for the shipment. 

In a Senate inquiry that followed on July 31, 

Cesar Bulaon, allegedly one of the owners of 

MTC, said Sano had asked them to help keep 

the rice in their warehouse and to look for a 

buyer from the Philippines. Bulaon also said 

it was Sano who introduced Protik Guha of 

New Delhi-based Amira Foods India Limited 

to Metroeastern, a Subic Freeport locator. 

Sano, however, denied both allegations and 

said he met with Bulaon, Guha and another 

Freeport Locator, Vicente Cuevas, on March

Subic execs go on leave 

By ansBert B. Joaquin 

20, 2012 in a restaurant inside the Freeport on 

invitation by Cuevas only to confirm to Guha 

that indeed Bulaon’s Metroeastern is a duly 

registered locator in Subic Freeport and as 

such is allowed to engage in importation and 

transshipment business. 

Sano also admitted he once assisted Amira 

in looking for a warehouse inside the Freeport 

but added that this was in connection with 

Amira’s application to have its business registered 

also inside the Freeport. 

“We will be very, very transparent about 

this,” Garcia said. “The (SBMA) board passed 

a resolution assigning this issues for investigation 

by the governance Committee and that 

all documents related to that transaction be 

forwarded to that committee.” 

“The Governance Committee will enlist 

the services of relevant government agencies 

like the National Bureau of Investigation or 

the Department of Finance in its investigation 

and submit its report to the Senate hearing 

the case, so that everything is above board,” 

he added. 

Admitting that the shipment was an illegal 

shipment, Garcia emphasized that the ongoing 

investigation will “not spare anybody who 

has committed infraction of the rules or has 

participated in this illegal shipment.” 

Tuazon, on the other hand, explained that 

he allowed the discharge of the cargo which 

arrived April 4, 2012, based on the representation 

made by Metroeastern that the NFA 

Allocation and Import Permit is being processed. 

He, however, added that when Metroeastern 

failed to produce the NFA permit within 

CL farmers ask PNoy: 

implement ‘genuine’ 

land reform 

By Charlene a. CayaByaB 

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO—Farmers 

from the Alyansa ng mga Magbubukid 

sa Gitnang Luson (AMGL) in 

Central Luzon challenged President Benigno 

Aquino III to abandon interest on 

Hacienda Luisita and implement “genuine” 

land reform by junking the Comprehensive 

Agrarian Reform Program 

Extension with “Reforms” (CARPer) and 

passing House Bill 374 or the Genuine 

Agrarian Reform Bill (GARB). 

More than 100 farmers from Tarlac, 

Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan and Pampanga 

protested in front of the Department of 

Agrarian Reform (DAR) central office in 

Quezon City, joining farmers from other 

regions under the Kilusang Magbubukid 

ng Pilipinas (KMP) and Anakpawis Partylist. 

The following day, the farmers protested 

at Mendiola bridge to challenge 

the Aquino government. CARPer or 

Republic Act 9700 is on its third year 

implementation after former president 

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed it on 

August 7, 2009. 

“Aquino and everyone in the country 

should accept that without genuine land 

reform, there would be no social justice 

and fundamental reforms and all deception 

and lies about CARPer would be 

exposed and its multi-billion budget allocation 

would all go to waste or to the 

pocket of rich landlords,” AMGL Chairperson 

Joseph Canlas said. 

AMGL primarily demanded Aquino 

to abandon his and his family’s interest 

on Hacienda Luisita and immediately 

order its distribution to the 6,296 farm 

worker-beneficiaries (FWBs) as ordered 

by the Supreme Court. 

“Aquino is sending a wrong signal by 

delaying the distribution of Hacienda 

Luisita. He and the Cojuangco-Aquinos 

promised to follow the law but when the 

cl fARmERs PAGE 11 

the prescribed period of 30 days, the shipment 

was declared an importation contrary 

to law, and the Bureau of Customs issued the 

seizure order. 

“The important thing is that there was 

enough safeguard. So we held the goods. In 

fact it was very clear that our action was the 

reason why the BOC was able to seize the shipment” 

he stressed. 

Garcia also clarified that “the cargo was not 

concealed but was properly declared, properly 

manifested, the Customs was informed, and 

we have secured it. When it is not in accordance 

with rules allowed by law, we have given 

the BOC the legal basis for the seizure.” 

“I want to assure everybody that the 

(SBMA) board is quite serious about this issue, 

and we want to make sure that if there is 

anybody (found to be) at fault, we will prosecute 

him to the fullest extent of the legal remedies 

available to us,” the SBMA Chair said in 

the press conference which was, for the first 

time in the history of SBMA, attended by no 

less than 12 members of the SBMA board.•

after selling illegal drugs in Ba- 

rangay Poblacion, in Norzagaray, 

Bulacan. 

According to Police Regional

mation from a concerned citizen 

that selling of illegal drugs takes 

place in the barangay. 

Acting on the information, the 

police conducted an anti-illegal

tured Palad. 

Confiscated from her posses- 

sion were four pieces of small 

plastic sachets containing sus- 

pected “shabu,” which were 

brought to the Bulacan Crime

tion. 

A criminal complaint against 

the suspect was prepared under 

Violation of Section 11 of Repub- 

lic Act 9165 or known as Posses- 

sion of Dangerous Drugs. 

Palad is presently detained at 

the Norzagaray Municipal Jail.

warrant for violation of section 15 

or use of dangerous drugs of RA

of P40,000 which was issued by 

Hon. Judge Manuel Ortiguerra 

of Regional Trial Court Branch 

8, Malolos City, and is presently 

detained in SJDM City Jail for 

proper disposition. •

the mentioned areas can now 

be gathered, harvested, and 

sold in markets and are safe 

for human consumption. 

Meanwhile, shellfish col- 

lected at Dumanquillas Bay 

in Zamboanga del Sur; Mur- 

cialagos Bay in Zamboanga 

del Norte and Misamis Occi- 

dental; and coastal waters of 

Milagros in Masbate are still 

positive for paralytic shell- 

fish poison that is beyond 

the regulatory limit. 

And all types of shellfish 

and Acetes ap or alamang 

from the areas mentioned 

are not safe for human con- 

sumption. 

“Fish, squids, shrimps, 

and crabs are safe for human 

consumption provided that 

they are fresh and washed 

thoroughly and internal 

organs such as gills and in- 

testines are removed before 

cooking,” BFAR said. •

MABALACAT CITY—After 

its cityhood declaration, Mayor 

Marino “Boking” Morales said 

local officials are set to draft a 

10-year development plan that 

mainly includes infrastructure 

development and efficient fis- 

cal management. 

In an interview Monday, 

Morales said the 10-year devel- 

opment plan will be composed 

of the construction of addi- 

tional building for the city col- 

lege; improvement of birthing 

station facilities; the establish- 

ment of a materials recovery 

facility (MRF) and a landfill; 

the expansion of the public 

cemetery and the renovation of 

the Mabalacat public market. 

Moreover, Morales said the 

development plan will also in- 

clude improvement of the city’s 

fire stations, the city jail and 

the slaughter house. 

“Above all that, we like to 

renovate our old municipal 

hall in Barangay Poblacion. We 

could turn it into a museum 

that would show important 

events on how our town be- 

came a city,” Morales said. 

Apart from the 10-year de- 

velopment plan, Morales plans 

to benchmark its governance 

with known progressive cities 

like Davao City, Puerto Princ- 

esa and Makati City. 

“We will benchmark with 

progressive cities and we will 

also get development consult- 

ants from the corporate world,” 

Morales said. 

Since its cityhood on July 

21, the local government unit 

is expected to have an addi- 

tional P200 million Internal 

Revenue Allotment from the 

national government. In total, 

the city’s budget allocation is 

about P800 million. 

“I appeal to Mabalaqueños 

to help us in this endeavor in 

improving Mabalacat,” Mo- 

rales said. •

EDITORIAL 

Clark should fly high 

A welcome development, it is, the report 

that Clark International Airport (CIA) has 

been named third best airport zone in the 

world. This recognition is even sweeter to 

note that the body that gave the Clark Airport 

such distinction is the FDi magazine 

published by the London Financial Times 

Group. 

Being an authority in assessing business 

viabilities, FDi’s ranking of CIA further 

boosted Central Luzon’s bid of having 

the airport in Clark being declared as the 

country’s premier airport. 

This ranking by a world-wide and respectable 

organization should convince 

Malacañang that it is high time that it 

poured all its effort to develop CIA and its 

environs. This recognition is a total opposite 

of a recent survey where the Ninoy 

Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in 

Pasay City ranked high among the worst 

airports in the world. 

With NAIA becoming a notorious port 

that shoo away prospective tourists and 

investors, the government should now 

start to focus its energy in developing other 

airports—and CIA is the nearest option 

that the government has. 

It is a pity that the government remains 

stagnated in searching for solutions to the 

growing pains of the land-locked NAIA, 

which can no longer accommodate large 

aircraft as it does not have any room for 

expansion. 

The recognition of FDi magazine is a 

sort of pat on the back of Clark International 

Airport Corp. president and CEO 

Victor Jose Luciano, who had been looking 

for ways to entice the national government 

to take advantage of the airport’s full 

potential. This is a strong and convincing 

factor that should shake awake the people 

of Malacañang into allocating more funds 

for the Clark airport. 

If this recent development will not move 

Malacañang into action, then Clark, which 

is already taking off towards new heights, 

has no other way but down.

Dengue sa Pampanga, naaalarma ka ba? 

“ Maging mapili, dahil ang dengue ay hindi namimili. Kahit sino ka pa, mayaman, mahirap, nakatira 

sa mansion o sa iskwater, ang dengue ay mangangagat sa balanang katawan at balat.” 

Lima na ang naitalang patay sa Pampanga 

ngayong taon dahil sa kagat lamang 

ni Dengue Mosquito. Hindi tao, 

hindi bagay kundi insekto pero may 

pangalan at may apilyido. Kakaiba ito. 

Gawa-gawa mo lang iyan. Ano ka? Ito ay 

pumapatay araw at gabi. Baka nga ngayon 

ay nasa iyong tabi. Nagmamanman, 

naghihintay si atseng dengue, gusto sa 

dugo ng tao sa iyong balat ay dumidiskarte. 

Tapikin mo nga! 

Babae ba ang dengue? Ewan ko, pero 

puwede rin sigurong tawaging Mang 

Dengue. Whatever! Importante, magingat 

ka at ang iyong buong pamilya. 

Hindi masama na magkulambo tuwing 

gabi. Mabuti na magpatuyo at magtaob 

ng lumang gulong o bote baka kasi 

pamahayan at mag-anak pa si Atse kong 

Dengue. 

Mga anak ay pahiran ng lotion na anti-dengue, 

pero hindi lahat ng lotion ay 

pwede. Maging mapili, dahil ang dengue 

ay hindi namimili. Kahit sino ka pa, 

mayaman, mahirap, nakatira sa mansion 

o sa iskwater, ang dengue ay mangangagat 

sa balanang katawan at balat. 

Katunayan, dito lamang sa Pampanga, 

isang libo siyam naraan apat na pu’t 

lima (1,945) ang nakagat ng lamok na 

may dalang dengue virus, ayon sa tala 

ng Provincial Health Office. 

Hindi ka ba natatakot? Baka ikaw na 

“ This is apart from the throngs of 

people going to capitol everyday 

asking for financial assistance for 

indigents’ medical needs.” 

In a show of great concern to her constituents, 

Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda 

has been alarmed by the continuous rise 

of dengue cases. Who wouldn’t be with 

the record of less than 2,000 confirmed 

patients at the Jose B. Lingad General 

Memorial Hospital (JBL)? 

*** 

Now that we are on the season of rains 

and floods, we are on the dengue season, 

too, thus crowding hospitals with patients 

afflicted with dengue. 

*** 

There are patients who have no rooms 

to stay in our public hospitals, forcing 

them to stay at hallways of our medical 

institutions. Mosquitos propagate their 

numbers rapidly, they propagate their 

number of dengue victims, too. 

*** 

The number of individuals who are 

infected with the dengue virus for this 

year is much greater than that of last year 

in Pampanga. There were a total of 878 

ang susunod. Mag-apura, kumilos para 

hindi mabiktima. Ano kaya ang dapat 

gawin? Hindi mo ba nabasa iyong nasa 

itaas? Nabasa, pero iyon lang ba? Marami 

pa. 

Hanapin at wasakin 

ang tirahan ni Dengue 

Mosquito. Maaaring iyan 

ay nasa likod ng bahay 

mo. Nasa harapan, nasa 

tagiliran, nasa loob ng 

bahay mo mismo. Basta 

maghanap ka kuya. 

Pangalawa, kung mataas 

ang lagnat, huwag kang 

magdokdoktor-doktoran at 

uminom ng gamot na kung 

ano-ano. Magpunta ka sa 

pinakamalapit na klinika 

o pagamutan. Pasiyasat 

mo ang iyong dugo. Ipagawa 

mo iyong tourniquet. 

Iyon bang iipitin ng goma ang balat mo. 

Kapag sa ilang sandali, ay nagkaroon 

ng pantal-pantal na maliliit ang iyong 

balat, may rashes ka. Suspected dengue 

iyan. Huwag magpatumpik-tumpik, 

magpatingin agad sa ekspertong doctor. 

Bakit naman expert pa? Hindi kasi lahat 

ng doctor ay sanay diyan. Baka bigyan 

ka lang ng medicol o paracetamol, 

patay kang bata ka. Kasi ang dengue ay 

nawawala sa pamamagitan ng pag-iin- 

recorded dengue cases in the province. 

More than double compared 

to that of last year. 

*** 

Record of fatalities is 

higher for this year so said 

Leonita Gorgolon, regional 

director of the Department of 

Health-Center for Health and 

Development III. There were 

deaths, mostly children, in 

various towns in the province 

who succumbed to the deadly 

dengue virus. 

*** 

Last Monday, Governor 

Pineda called on Monday the 

municipal mayors of Pampanga 

including medical doctors 

and municipal health officers to discuss 

issues and concerns on the dengue outbreak. 

Measures were discussed how to 

combat dengue-carrying mosquitos. Local 

officials are now at war. 

*** 

With her great concern for the health 

of her people, Governor Pineda is wasting 

no time in the war against dengue. 

*** 

In furtherance of her giving priority to 

the health of Kapampangans, Governor

Pineda reiterated her order to the chiefs 

of district hospitals on the capitol’s 

commitment to shoulder 

all medical expenses of dengue 

patients. This is apart from the 

throngs of people going to capitol 

everyday asking for financial 

assistance for indigents’ 

medical needs. 

*** 

The prevalence of dengue 

inside the human body can 

be traced through body temperature 

according to Provin- 

cial Health Office (PHO) Chief 

Marcelo Jaochico. He suggested 

that thermometers be distributed 

among public schools 

and teachers be taught on how 

to get signs of dengue infection. Bright 

idea. 

*** 

Jaochico likewise reminded everyone 

the existence of express lanes intended for 

dengue patients. The express lane is set 

up to give immediate treatment to dengue 

patients. Aksyon agad!

Of nature’s design and man-made intervention 

“When the water becomes scarce in the near future, will your office and business open your coffers 

to provide clean unlimited supply for free?” 

For years there was protest 

against an investor who wanted 

to put up a golf course. The project 

did not continue. Everything 

was peaceful for those who initially 

fought for the retention of the natural 

flora and fauna of the mountain 

range in question. Until 

late last year, there 

was a lot of talk about 

another investor taking 

over the golf project. 

One morning, much 

like the massacre of 

the acacia trees along 

MacArthur highway, 

the mountain was no 

longer green like its 

neighboring views. It 

became the hot topic 

on radio. Rudy Simeon 

together Alvin 

Dasal, made it their 

daily fare over GV am 792 khz, as 

they get on board their morning 

show. Gary Bernardo’ show, another 

news anchor and commentator on 

an earlier slot of the same station, 

called me up for comment on what 

they have seen happening to the 

mountain range in full view of the 

naked eye. It came back to me, from 

how I would translate in Kapampangan 

or Filipino, what the engineers 

from Portland, Oregon were saying 

in English about what each community 

can do to restore the balance of 

the land area overtaken and buried 

under tons of lahar. 

Then the latest photos were on 

the local and national broadsheets. 

Having worked as a multi-lingual 

interpreter for the Loius Berger Int’l 

Inc. (LBII) during the years they 

were gathering data and meeting 

people post Pinatubo eruption. I 

had the opportunity to read through 

and file documents which were part 

of the multi-sector assemblies done 

throughout the Pinatubo affected 

areas. 

Those who’ve just taken over the 

reins of CDC should take a closer 

look and review the report submitted 

by LBII. 

The following are excerpts from 

the LBII November 1996 report: 

Chapter 3— 

Data Collection 

3.7 AESTHETIC FACTORS 

...there are also a number of natural 

features in the area which are 

worthy of classification in terms of 

their natural and unique beauty. 

Some of the features created by the 

Mt. Pinatubo eruption are worthy 

of conservation and of measures 

controlling their destruction or desecration 

as a result of excavation or 

quarrying. 

Pictures tell no tales unless 

they’ve been photo-shopped. However 

what they have done to that 

part of the mountain is visible to 

the naked eye of one who has driven 

to and from the Mabalacat gate. 

Everyone—local or foreigner—sees 

the decapitation of the mountain, 

a ghastly sight which becomes the 

focal point of tourists and travelers 

going in and out of the Freeport 

zone. Those who simply pass by will

as another monument to insatiable 

greed. That a long-term impact to

my hands” deal(s) doesn’t matter for

ties. 

6.5 PROBLEMS, CON- 

STRAINTS, and OP- 

PORTUNITIES 

-Impaired watershed hydrology 

resulting in erratic 

water supply, water shortage 

and floods. 

-the project area lies 

along the typhoon belt 

which can seriously hamper 

such watershed activities 

as reforestation and 

agro forestry. 

-the growing watershed 

population will require 

more livelihood opportuni- 

Any person equipped with common 

sense (which is turning out to 

be on the verge of extinction) will 

not accept the explanations of the 

experts who studied inside air-conditioned 

halls. The best learning we 

can adapt for the drastic changes in 

our weather patterns must be drawn 

from the most recent disasters that 

have plagued highly industrialized 

countries. Every piece of man-made 

structure lay twisted, deformed, 

and pulverized by the avalanche of 

rocks, mud and thick murky water 

rushing from mountain tops whose 

forest covers have been flattened 

and tampered by man’s despicable 

designs. 

In all the recent disasters we’ve 

watched like epic movies unfolding 

before us from EAST TO WEST, 

there is one common factor that 

binds them all. Much too have been 

ripped from the bounty of nature. In 

the aftermath, we see gruesome evidences 

of man’s inutile measures to 

show might and power against nature; 

that which takes him to build 

for months or even years are swept 

in one disaster. 

Why take the same path to sure 

destruction where we can avoid it? 

The disaster of Mt. Pinatubo is not 

so long ago. Our mountain ranges 

have somehow recovered from the 

silver, gray light that blind the sight 

of those who took the road towards 

Clark. They have turned green and 

with lush vegetation. All these, 

thanks to birds and other creatures, 

which dropped seeds in their flight. 

No thanks to the human kind. 

Now that they have become a sight 

to see, a carpet of velvety green, they 

who care for nothing but business 

and personal gains, make the lame 

excuse of providing work to who and 

at what cost? 

What about the destruction and 

ugly landscape you blatantly display 

by your man-made mitigation 

measures which everybody can see 

from the distance as wanton display 

of a lack of respect for creations you 

yourself have no power to create but 

only to destroy! 

When the water becomes scarce 

in the near future, will your office 

and business open your coffers to 

“Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks 

at it when it has been in the house three days?” 

---George Bernard Shaw 

provide clean unlimited supply for 

free? Or will you be posing like holy 

philanthropists who come to save 

the very people subjected to your 

gross insensibilities to what truly 

matters to make decent living? 

Chapter 10 Conceptualization 

of Plans 

10.1 ...the conceptualization of 

land use and development proposals 

for the sub-zone is based on a number 

of factors... 

... ensure balanced environmentally 

compatible development. 

The key words in the principle are 

“sustainable development”. 

The local settlers in the Clark Special 

Economic Zone(Clark Freeport 

Zone) will not benefit from fashionable 

“here today gone tomorrow” 

enterprises. They are looking for 

employment and/or for the opportunity 

to develop their own enterprise 

whether it be agricultural or industrial. 

The prospect of land speculation 

will only serve to force the local 

people off the land due to escalating 

land values. Little social and economic 

benefit would ensue.. 

10.2. CONSTRAINTS 

10.2.2 Policy 

Policy constraints to development 

include: 

-High Quality Agricultural 

Land 

-Areas of Outstanding Natural 

Beauty 

The Sub-Zone has a great diversity 

of landscape with outstanding 

mountain views and beautiful rolling 

countryside. In order to conserve 

the most outstanding areas of 

natural beauty, a policy will be formulated 

and specially applied to the 

Sub-Zone. This policy would restrict 

building to certain areas but would 

not 

necessarily restrict the use of the 

land for agricultural or forestry purposes. 

Watersheds 

In the interest of watershed management 

and to conserve water 

quality for potential future water 

supplies, a policy will be formulated 

restricting development and the use 

of land for potentially polluting uses 

such as golf courses in the area of 

certain watersheds. 

Without a title of expertise to 

argue with those who learned it in 

the comfort of Powerpoint presentations 

and theorizing, my humble 

contribution from more than 

35 years, I have treaded the shaky 

clay and muddied soil of deforested 

mountains, and walked the disaster 

path in rescue and relief. This is the 

only truth I know after seeing remnants 

of man’s spoils from ravaging 

natural resources: That attempts to 

alter the contour of any natural creation 

will bring havoc and irreparable 

repercussions. It never strikes 

the “investors” the way the locals’ 

lives are swept like debris because of 

their gratuitous greed. •

More accessible quality h 

services for Kapampanga 

By Angelique TuAzon 

Every citizen has the right to health. 

Thus, the government owes to the 

governed the provision of effective 

and efficient health care system, 

especially to those who have less 

or no means at all to acquire medical 

services. 

With this in mind, Governor Lilia “Nanay 

Baby” Pineda made public her plans of revolutionizing 

the province’s health care system 

through the rehabilitation of all 11 district hospitals 

to address the growing medical needs of 

the province. 

The lady governor made it her foremost priority 

to ensure that the less fortunate patients 

are well attended to in government hospitals 

and that every Kapampangan would receive 

the medical attention they truly deserve. 

However, Nanay Gov’s desire to provide 

quality yet affordable health services would 

not be realized with the rehabilitation of infrastructures 

alone. 

Government hospitals are now engaged in a 

consignment scheme with various pharmaceutical 

companies to ensure that all medical supplies 

and medicines are always available in all 

district hospitals. Instances of medicines running 

out of stock are now eliminated. 

Furthermore, the Provincial Board, led by 

Vice Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao recently 

passed Ordinance No. 550 which marks the 

distribution of health access cards for the 

members of marginalized sectors. 

According to Board Member Monina “Monz” 

Laus, one of the authors of the said ordinance 

and chairperson of the Committee on Health, 

the “Health Access Card Program” for persons 

with disabilities (PWDs), senior citizens, indigent 

families, even village service providers, 

will augment the existing health projects of the 

provincial government and make medical services 

more accessible to the members of said 

sectors. 

The provincial board has also authorized the 

Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office, 

headed by Elizabeth Estiller-Baybayan, to 

facilitate the implementation of said program, 

including the establishment of a Database 

Management System to monitor its progress. 

Baybayan shared that the province will be 

distributing four types of health access cards 

varying in colors and discount rates, depending 

on the status of the recipients or beneficiaries. 

Gold access cards will be distributed to 

PWDs; senior citizens; appointed village service 

providers such as bantay bayan, health 

workers, and day care workers; and members 

of families with a combined monthly income of 

P4,000 below. 

Gold access card holders will be given 100% 

discount on all medical services including doctor’s 

fees, room fees, laboratory fees, and medicines 

in the 11 district hospitals of the province. 

Consequently, silver, bronze, and blue access 

card holders will be given 85%, 70%, and 

50% discount, respectively. 

PWDs from the 2 cities and 19 municipalities 

of the province have already been briefed 

of the new health program, during the celebration 

of the 34th National Disability Prevention 

and Rehabilitation Week, and welcomed the 

new development. 

Nanay Gov’s mission to provide an integrated 

and comprehensive health care development 

program for the Kapampangans will come to 

fruition with the distribution of health access 

cards, partnered with the rehabilitated health 

facilities and abundant supplies and medicines 

throughout the province. 

The provision of quality yet affordable health services for the members of the marginalized sectors has always been the priority of Nanay Gov.

against unjust price hike. 

Carbonell said prices of basic 

commodities were also frozen in

and Zambales. 

The price freeze will prevent 

big and small stores in increasing 

prices of commodities like rice, 

sugar, coffee and canned goods.

Brilliante completes 

P50-M film ‘Captive’ 


World renowned Kapampangan independent 

film director Brilliante 

Mendoza recently completed is P50 

million film “Captive” produced by 

Star Cinema. 

“Captive” is Mendoza’s first film 

to have more than P1 million budget. 

His previous non-mainstream films 

including his award-winning “Kinatay” 

was completed under a small 

budget. 

Mendoza said “Captive” is inspired 

by the Burnham couple’s story 

on how they were kidnapped by terrorists 

group in Mindanao in 2002. 

Missionaries Martin and Gracia 

Burnham were taken hostage by the 

Abu Sayyaff and were held for more 

than a year before a rescue attempt 

that resulted in Martin’s death and 

Gracia’s release. 

“However, with Gracia Burnham’s 

book, I had a lot of questions in mind 

about how other people, aside from 

the hostages, reacted to the situation,” 

Mendoza said. 

In his film, Mendoza said he 

showed how other parties involved, 

including the hostage takers and the 

military, acted during the kidnapping.

“With the agreement between the university 

and the companies, rejection of the students’ application 

for internship will be avoided,” said Joey 

Suba, CCSIT practicum coordinator. 

“There will be industries ready to adopt their 

practicum,” Suba added. 

On the other hand, the agreement will not only 

benefit the university and the students but also the 

practicum site. 

According to PIA regional director Robert 

Baldago, “the OJTs are of big help to us in the office. 

We have IT students from UA right now who 

do computer works and troubleshoot our computers.” 

Baldago added that PIA may also be the way for 

a student’s employment in the future. 

“In 1996, I was an OJT in PIA Central Office, 

then I was absorbed as a contractual employee,” 

Baldago narrated. 

Suba expressed the university’s gratitude for the

might be good tonight.

CANCER (JUN 22- JUL 22) 

The urge to travel is strong. You may explore the outdoors or make a journey. If you really want to travel 

some distance and have nothing in mind--save your money and do your research--you will totally love the 

end results and by this time next year you could be living your heart’s desire. You may conduct business via 

a long-distance phone call. If you have prepared material for publication or have a lawsuit pending, judgment 

can come at this time. You should have good mental stimulation to study and you will do well in exams. Exercise 

honesty and patience. Self-improvement and the influence of those around you go along educational, 

religious, philosophical or cultural lines. You will find it easy to communicate with most professional people. 

LEO (JUL 23 - AUG. 23) 

Through hard work and prudent organization, you will gradually build up your savings and wealth to the point 

of early retirement, beginning your own business, travel, part-time work, etc. This may be where your mind is 

focused. Your goals are enhanced and take on a deeper meaning to you now. It could be you feel it is time to 

see some results for your hard work; success can only follow your efforts. Your time after work becomes either 

political or community oriented and you may find yourself wanting to change or enhance the manner of 

living for the helpless. There are things you can do to bring attention to the needed changes. You know that 

the city hall meetings are most important. Later tonight a steamed vegetable with rice dinner would be ideal. 

LIBRA (SEP. 23 - OCT. 23) 

Now is the best time this month for you to put in for a raise, a new position, find a job or otherwise make 

yourself known. You have a disciplined approach to work, health and others of life’s essential routines; these 

are especially important now. Ask yourself if you are involved in activities that are favorable for you. If the 

answer is anything but yes, you need to make some changes. Set your goals and then make a list of three 

things you can do now to create the changes you want . . . do that again in a week. Others can be fascinated 

by the way you present yourself. It is easy for you to work with those more experienced than you. You are not 

intimidated. You may entertain or be entertained by your friends this evening. 

SCORPIO (OCT. 24- NOV. 21) 

The flow of events today makes it easy for you to make clear decisions; see the road ahead and move 

forward. Things seem to fall in place and progress is easy. Be careful not to overextend yourself and promise 

more of your time than you, or anyone else, could possibly produce. You feel friendly toward everyone you 

meet and want to spend your time in pursuit of good-hearted fun. You will tend to avoid saying or doing 

anything unpleasant in an effort to share these good vibes. This is an excellent time to mend fences and 

iron out past conflicts. This period brings an awareness of your past behavior. Right now you can clearly 

see a relationship that may need your analysis. You can enjoy dinner out or a good movie with a loved one 

this evening. 

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 - DEC. 21) 

You could find that you are appreciated or valued for your ability to act and get things done. You can take 

action now to improve your finances and personal worth. With the extra courage you have during this time, 

you can ask for a raise in pay or talk people into dancing to your drum beat. You can earn more or spend 

to improve your security and comfort. This is a poor time to buy on credit unless you have planned. You 

can expand your enjoyment of life with more recreation, entertainment and creative pursuit after the work 

hours of the day. There are new opportunities for romance. Pleasant social activities are on the increase- 

-particularly those related to educational, religious or cultural interests. It is a good time to travel for pleasure. 

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN 19) 

Demonstrate your personal leadership today--you may be pleased at the results of your efforts. You may 

deal with authority figures often during this day. You have good, practical ideas for improvement of business 

as well as your own professional advancement. Spread the word . . . this is a better time to sell than to buy 

and a period when pruning the excess is a good thing. This means business as much as it means plants. 

You have opportunities to make steady progress in both career and domestic affairs. Your happy emotional 

outlook makes you a popular one. This afternoon is a favorable time for family gatherings and social events. 

General good feeling and a sense of harmony makes this a happy time. Smile, someone wants to take 

your picture. 

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 - FEB. 18)You tend to express your intellectual authority in some way 

this week and it could be that it will be your turn at hosting or presenting some product. Every year at this 

time your company or some other sister company purchases new ideas or products and there is a sense of 

nervous anticipation in the air. You take pride in your ideas and excel at influencing others with your writing 

and speaking. You are prepared and if any last minute measures are to be done, you will do them professionally. 

This afternoon you may relax with neighbors and talk of future ice cream parties or grilling contests 

and all begin to make plans in that direction. It is surprising how much faster the neighborhood plans come 

together as compared to the office conferences. 

PISCES (FEB. 19 - MAR. 20) 

You have an increased perception into the motives of others. Perhaps you are a bit intuitive but it could also 

be the psychology classes or the interest in the social behavior of humans. The day is favorable for research 

or for uncovering any inhibitions. If there are secret manipulations, or conspiracies, they can surface where 

you can gain control. Managers, seniors and those in positions of power tend to give you their approval and 

trust. The progress and completion of projects or routine work goes particularly well, as usual. This afternoon 

you may enjoy your friends and some social involvement. You are very much the creature of habit and 

habitat and the encircling network of friends, relationships etc., are crucial to your success or lack thereof.

of Arcos Village in Mabalacat City. 

While Darrel Flores, 9, of Barangay 

Apalit in Floridablanca died after he 

was electrocuted. 

According to PDRRMC head Engr. 

Lulu Alingcastre, as of Wednesday, 331 

barangays from the 19 towns and two 

cities were affected by the flooding. 

Alingcastre said the provincial government, 

along with the local government 

units (LGUs), has evacuated 

some 2,500 families to various temporary 

shelters in the province. 

In this city, hundreds of residents 

from Barangays San Pedro Cutud and 

San Nicolas were evacuated after floodwater 

as high as three meters rushed 

into the villages shortly after a portion 

of the San Fernando-Sto. Tomas-Minalin 

tail dike collapsed. 

In Sto. Tomas, many residents were 

stranded on top of their roofs as flood 

rose drastically within a few-hour 

period. Drinking water has become 

scarce that some residents braved the 

floods only to buy food and water from 

nearby places. 

On Tuesday noon, the Sangguniang 

Panlalawigan of Pampanga approved 

Resolution No. 2703, Series of 2012 declaring 

the entire province under state 

of calamity. 

The scheduled visit of Vice President 

Jejomar Binay in Nabuclod, Floridablanca 

to turn over the first housing 

project for the indigenous peoples to 

Aeta beneficiaries had been cancelled. 

Based on the monitoring of the 

PDRRMC, the affected families came 

from 215 barangays from the 19 municipalities 

and two cities due to rising 

flood water ranging from one to five 

feet causing major roads impassable to 

light vehicles. 

“This is enough to paralyze the economic 

activities in the said affected 

municipalities,” PDRRMC said. 

In Floridablanca, the barangays 

of San Antonio, Maligaya, Portuna, 

Cabangcalan, Sta. Monica and San Pedro 

are under two to four feet floodwater 

In Sasmuan, the villages of Sta 

Monica, San Antonio, San Pedro, Sto. 

Tomas and Sta. Cruz were also inundated. 

In Sta. Rita, two to three feet flood- 

cl FarMers from page 2 

Supreme Court decided, here he 

goes ordering DAR to make a new 

list of FWBs, prolonging the process,” 

Canlas said. 

“DAR’s action on Hacienda Luisita 

is risky as making the new list 

would sow chaos and unnecessary 

confusion among the farm workers. 

It is apparent that DAR is making 

the distribution process complicated, 

thus, Aquino is not sincere in 

abiding by the law or the SC order,” 

he added. 

AMGL is also demanding the immediate 

distribution of 3,100-hectares 

agricultural lands formerly 

part of the Fort Magsaysay Military 

Reservation (FMMR) in Laur, Nueva 

Ecija being claimed by the 7th 

Infantry Division of the Philippine 

Army (IDPA). 

“The issue of Fort Magsaysay 

Military Reservation is the very concrete 

example of the uselessness of 

CARPer. Imagine, its coverage was 

already ordered by former president 

piNeda from page 2 

Pineda said the P5 million will 

be used for the rehabilitation and 

construction of rural health units 

and sputum collection area, purchase 

of medical equipment and 

medicines and improvement of facilities. 

“We want the accreditation the 

soonest time possible to address 

the increasing number of TB victims”, 

Pineda said. 

The governor instructed Provincial 

Health Officer Dr. Marcelo Jaochico 

to do the inventory of medi- 

water submerged the villages of San 

Matias, San Basilio, San Jose, San 

Juan, San Agustin, Sta. Monica, Becuran 

and Dila-Dila. 

The Porac-Guagua-Dila Dila road 

was not passable to light vehicles due 

to knee-deep floodwater. 

In Porac, Barangay Balubad experienced 

two to three feet floodwater 

while a landslide occurred at Barangays 

Jalung and Babo Sacan. A barangay 

health worker was injured. 

In Sta. Ana, one foot floodwaters 

inundated 14 barangays: San Agustin, 

San Bartolome, Sa Isidro, San Joaquin, 

San Jose, San Juan, San Nicolas, San 

Pablo, San Pedro, San Roque, Santiago, 

Sta Lucia and Sta. Maria and Sto. 

Rosario. 

In Apalit town, three barangays were 

submerged into 2.5 deep floodwater: 

Batasan, Capalangan, Sucad (Purok 3), 

San Vicente (Bagong Pag-asa). 

The Pampanga River has spilled 

over inundating Barangays Capalangan 

and Sulipan. 

In Candaba, the barangays of San 

Agustin, Sitio Dukma in Paralaya, Pescadores, 

Bambang and Pasig are all 

flooded. 

In Macabebe town, 25 villages are 

under floodwater such as Castuli, 

Mataguiti, Saplad David, Tacasan, 

Caduang Tete, Sta. Maria, San Gabriel, 

Sta. Rita, Telacsan, Candelaria, 

Batasan, Sto. Nino, San Isidro, San 

Roque, Sto. Rosario, San Juan, San 

Rafael, Sta. Cruz, Sta. Lutgarda, San 

Francisco, San Vicente, Consuelo, Dalayap 

and San Esteban. 

Nine families or 34 individuals 

were evacuated in the 

Macabebe Central School. 

In Minalin, seven barangays are under 

flood water. These are as follow: 

San Isidro, Lourdes, Sta. Maria, Sto. 

Domingo, San Nicolas, Dawe and Maniago 

with two feet floodwater. 

In San Simon, 13 barangays were 

inundated—Dela Paz, San Pedro, Sta. 

Cruz, San Isidro, San Juan, San Pablo 

(Proper), Sto. Nino, San Agustin, San 

Jose, Sta. Monica, San Pablo Libutad, 

San Nicolas and San Miguel with one 

to 3.5 feet floodwater affecting 800 

families or 2,657 individuals. 

In Arayat, the barangays of San 

Cory Aquino through her executive 

orders 407 and 448 in 1990, and 

Deed of Transfer (DOT) between 

DAR and the Dept. of National Defense 

(DND) signed by Sec. Benjamin 

Leong and Renato De Villa, respectively 

in 1990, but the process is 

being opposed by the AFP, a government 

entity itself,” Canlas said. 

“CARPer could not even compel 

the AFP to follow the law, thus, harassment 

against farmers continue 

and retired police and military officials 

are grabbing lands in Fort 

Magsaysay,” he added. 

AMGL also demanded Aquino to 

stop the massive land use conversion 

(LUCs) in Central Luzon which 

ejects farmers from their lands. 

“These LUCs in Central Luzon is 

a threat to farmers’ rights on land, 

as well as to the food security of our 

country,” Canlas said. 

AMGL said that the construction 

of Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union 

Expressway (TPLEx) and Central 

cines and to make sure there is 

enough supply for every TB patient. 

“The province will supply health 

centers and RHUs in the province 

with complete medicines needed 

for a 6-month medication for tuberculosis,” 

said Jaochico. 

Upon hearing the commitment 

of Pineda, Director Elenita Gorgolon 

of Center Health and Development 

Central Luzon stated that 

their office will provide necessary 

equipment such as microscopes. 

“They can request for micro-

“If Aquino was sincere in realizing 

fundamental reforms, CARP 

should have covered the subjected 

lands decades ago and distributed 

to legitimate farmer-beneficiaries, 

but he did not. Hence, farmers are 

now defending their rights,” Canlas 

added. 

“We call on other sectors to support 

our demand to junk CARPer 

and enact House Bill 374 or GARB. 

We should learn that CARP and 

CARPer are not real land reform 

programs in its 24 years of implementation. 

If we want to keep our 

country’s food supply secure, we 

must defend the farmers’ cultivation 

of productive agricultural lands and 

protect it from LUCs. The absence 

of a genuine land reform program 

would lead to an agrarian unrest in 

our country,” Canlas said. •

Maja Salvador, Matteo Guidecelli 

nag-break na parang hindi naman! 

Overwhelmed si Aga Muhlach sa 

rami ng dumalo sa oathtaking niya 

bilang bagong miyembro ng Liberal 

Party na ginanap last Aug. 3 (Friday) 

sa LP Headquarters sa Araneta Center, 

Cubao, Quezon City. 

Aniya ay nagulat siya sa rami ng tao 

at say niyang nagbibiro, “panalo na 

ba ako? Parang oathtaking na sa Con- 

We heard Matteo 

Guidecelli and Maja 

Salvador broke officially 

on July 22. 

When Matteo was 

asked by some writers 

about it in the 

Star Magic Games, 

he just admitted 

that it’s true they’ve 

split and remain 

friends, but he 

refused to elaborate 

any further. 

Noong minsan 

nga, sa Kris TV, 

kinumpirma na 

ni Maja Salvador 

na break na nga 

sila ni Matteo 

Guidicelli. 

Sabay silang 

nag-guest 

ni Kim 

Chiu sa 

nasabing 

morning 

show at 

nakakaaliw 

ang laglagan 

nilang 

dalawa. 

Sa umpisa, 

tinanong ni Kris 

ang tungkol sa status 

sa Facebook ni Maja. 

Madalas daw kasi ay dito 

nalalaman kung single 

ba o in a relationship 

ang isang tao. Minsan ay 

nakalagay pa raw na “it’s 

complicated.” 

gress, ah,” sabay-tawa. 

“Nakakatuwa, nakakatuwa 

na makita ko 

kayong lahat dito, I really 

appreciate it.” 

Sumumpa si Aga at 

ang mga bagong miyembro 

ng LP sa harap ni 

DOTC Secretary at LP 

President Mar Roxas na 

sinaksihan ng kanyang 

mga kaibigan at pamilya. 

Saksi rin sa oathtaking 

si Department of 

the Interior and Local 

Government Secretary 

Jesse Robredo. 

Siyempre, present din ang kanyang 

ever loving and supporting wife na 

si Charlene Gonzalez, pati na rin ang 

panganay na anak ni Aga na si Luigi 

Muhlach. 

Dumalo rin sa oathtaking ang mga 

kaibigan niyang sina Cesar Montano, 

Kapampangans are everywhere! 

Kapag contest ng paguwapuhan 

at pagandahan, 

laging andyan ang ating 

mga kababayan sa Pampanga. 

They’re everywhere 

‘ika nga. Gaya na lang nitong 

paparating na Mutya 

Ng Pilipinas, tatlong magagandang 

Pampangueñang 

dilag ang outstanding sa 

naturang contest. Sila ay 

sina Charmaine Guintu, 

Camille Guevara at Emma 

Tiglao. The three beauties 

are ranking at posibleng 

mapili sa naturang pakontes 

bilang winner. Already, 

si Emma ay nasa top 5 ng 

Best in swimsuit, yung 

isa sa mga Kapampangan 

beauties, si Camille Guevarra, 

ay siyang Miss Talent. 

Kahapon, ginanap ang 

Best in Long Gown na sinalihan 

ng mga Kapampangan 

designers na ginanap 

sa SM Clark. 

Sa ibang pakontes naman 

gaya ng Erace/Hataw 

Superbodies, mga Kapam- 

pangan din ang mga past 

winners during the past 

years at ngayong taong ito, 

posibleng masungkit na 

naman ang titulo ng mga 

Kapampangan beauties at 

guwapong kasali. 

By the way, our very 

good friends, Avel Antonio, 

Joebee, James, George, 

Tan, Andy and Joey wish 

our Kapampangan beauties 

the best of luck, especially 

sa Mutya Ng Pilipinas 

tilt. 

Diretso namang sinagot ni Maja na “single” 

ang status niya, na tila ikinalungkot ni Kim. 

“Ito naman, agad-agad?” say ni Kim kay 

Maja. 

Say naman ni Kris, mas gusto naman daw 

niya ang ganu’n ka-diretso. 

“Eh kasi, ano naman ang sasabihin ko? Pero 

magkaibigan po kami (ni Matteo),” say ni Maja. 

Nilinaw ng young actress na walang third 

party involved. 

“Ah, parang nag-decide lang kami na i-end 

muna ang relationship kasi may priorities 

kaming dapat unahin. Like siya, ’yung career 

niya at pagiging triathlete niya, siyempre 

’yung oras mo, sobrang mahahati sa lahat, 

tapos ako rin naman sa trabaho, ’yung taping 

namin, so, minsan, mahirap ’yung hindi 

laging nagkikita, hindi ma-balance ’yung 

oras sa isa’t isa,” paliwanag ni Maja. 

Say naman ni Sen. Chiz Escudero, hindi 

siya naniniwala sa ganu’ng excuse dahil 

kung ayaw ay ayaw at kung gusto ay gusto 

raw. 

Sinegundahan ito ni Kris by saying na 

sobrang busy rin si Sen. Chiz, pero effort 

daw ito kung effort na marahil ang ibig 

sabihin ng TV host-actress, sa panliligaw 

kay Heart Evangelista. 

Paliwanag naman ni Maja, “Mahirap 

talaga ’yung schedule niya (Matteo), 

kasi parang 5 a.m., gigising siya, tapos 

magte-training siya, tapos, meron pa 

siyang trabaho, ganyan. Tapos, kunyari, 

magse-set kami, dinner, hindi na niya 

kakayanin kasi sobrang pagod na siya, 

he needs to sleep again kasi we-wake up ulit 

siya ng 5 a.m.” 

Pero ibinuking naman ni Kim na nandoon pa 

rin daw ang love at nag-e-effort daw si Matteo 

kay Maja ngayon. 

“Pinupuntahan po siya sa taping, dinadalaw 

po siya,” pambubuking ni Kim. 

Say naman ni Kris, baka naman daw ’yun 

lang ang gusto ni Maja, na mag-effort ulit si 

Direk Joyce Bernal at Bayani Agbayani. 

As we all know, noon pa naman ay 

inihayag na ni Aga ang kanyang intensyong 

tumakbo bilang congressman 

sa 4th District (also known as Partido 

District) ng Camarines Sur sa darating 

na 2013 elections. 

Iisa lang ang sagot ni Aga kapag tinatanong 

kung bakit niya naisipang pumasok 

sa pulitika at kung bakit sa Camarines Sur 

niya napiling magsilbi. 

“Well, my show is doing well, may isa 

pang show that we’re working on. May 

lalabas din kami na movie this year so 

I’m really happy and grateful that I’m still 

working. 

“Dito naman sa pulitika, siguro everything 

just fell into place. First, my 

family is really from Partido, taga-Goa 

kami. My lola is from there, my dad. Parang 

lahat ng kamag-anak ko doon, nakilala 

ko na – ’yung mga Amador, Go, 

Borja, Romero, Abundabar, Calleja. 

VOLUME I • NO. 22 • AUGUST 8-14, 2012 

Matteo 

at si Kim ulit ang 

sumagot. 

“Opo, ’yun po talaga ’yung gusto niya, effort. 

But the effort, it’s already there, just keep pushing,” 

say ni Kim. 

Well, we guess, malaki ang chance na magkabalikan 

ang dalawa kung magpapatuloy sa 

pag-e-effort itong si Matteo. 

Di ko kailan man iiwan ang showbiz!—Aga Muhlach 

CHARMAINE 

GUINTU 

“I have a house there, matagal na and 

as long I don’t have to travel for Pinoy 

Explorer (show niya sa TV5), doon na 

talaga kami ni Charlene and the kids sa 

San Jose. 

“Pangalawa, I cannot deny na napakaraming 

suwerte na ang natatanggap ko 

mula sa Diyos. At hindi naman gaganda 

ang buhay ko kung walang taong nagtiwala, 

nagmahal at humanga sa akin. 

“At ’yun din ang dahilan kung bakit 

ako pumasok dito -- dahil sa rami ng 

biyayang naibigay sa akin, tama lang 

na ibalik ko ’yun sa tao. Kung ano ang 

dapat sa kanila, ibibigay ko sa kanila,” 

pahayag ni Aga. 

Kung sakali raw papalarin siyang 

manalo, nilinaw ng aktor na hindinghindi 

niya iiwan ang showbiz dahil 

aniya ay ito ang kanyang hanapbuhay. 

Sa ngayon ay may tinatapos siyang 

pelikula with Regine Velasquez at two 

years pa raw ulit bago siya gagawa ng 

movie.
