The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Iloilo passed two ordinances on its last session, April 21, 2015, one, the ordinance giving cash incenstives to barangay tanod members and legal assistance in case they are slapped charges in their official capacity, and two, the Sanitation Code of Iloilo.

There are at least an average 10 members of the village police in each of 1,700 barangays of Iloilo Province. SP Manny Gallar, principal author of the ordinance, says that with the cash incentive, barangay tanaod members “more or less enjoy similar privilege, as barangay volunteer workers – the barangay health workers (BHW), barangay nutrition scholars (BNS) and barangay service point officers (BSPO) – who are given by the provincial government P3,000 every Christmas.

The cash incentive for the tanod ranges from P1,000 to P3,000, depending on the years of service.

Co-sponsors of the ordinance are Vice Gov. Raul “Boboy” Tupas and SP June Mondejar.

Sanitation Code
Iloilo Province is the first in Western Visayas to enact the Sanitation Code. It imposes criminal sanctions on violations but has provisions for administrative fines in case violators opt to compromise with the local government in lieu of facing criminal charges in court.

SP Carment Rita Monfort-Bautista, author of the Code, says its implementing rules and regulations will be crafted by the provincial health office (PHO), the department to lead in its implementation.


Also in the same session, the provincial legislature constitutes itself a “quasi-judicial body” to try and hear the administrative charges filed against two town mayors, Macario Napulan of Miagao, and Rufino Palabrica III of Dingle.

SP majority floor leader, June Mondejar, echoes the opinion of his colleagues as he moves for the approval of their findings that there is “probable cause” to hold the two local chief executives administratively liable.


Ay, maan tinyo dyan Bernardo!

Ang nagsampa kang kaso kontra kay MakNapul amo man lang si Gererdo Bulaklak!

Ang Sanitation Code gamando nga ang mga slaughterhouse dapat parayuon sa mga pamalay kag komunidad nga ginatipunan kang publiko tulad kang simbahan, merkado publiko, eskwelahan, playground, residential areas, etc.

Ang inyo tana irihawan rigyan pa sa sulod kang tindahan. Man-an mo man ra nga yadtong officiales publicos nga wara gatuman kang kasuguan pareho kang Sanitation Code sarang masumbong sa kaso administratibo nga “grave misconduct”.

May pundo ron daad ang inyong slaughterhouse rigyan sa Banwang Salakayan ti P4.5M sadto pang 2013. Antes manaog si Inday Hulieta, gin-umpisahan ron day patindog ugaring ginpauntat ni MakNapul hay kuno ipabidding liwan. Yadtong kantidad nga gintigana sa slaughterhouse gin-gasto sa beautification—sa landscaping, estatwa, aritos, kulentas kag mik-ap.

Maan lang tinyo dyan, Bernardo!

Image
By Pet Melliza/The Beekeeper Iloilo Gov.  Arthur D. Defensor (center in light shirt) and Estancia Mayor Rene Cordero (beside the governor) unveil the monument of Scout Roy.  By now, he could have been 53 and, if he married at 20, he would have grandchildren. However, Roy B. Babas, gave up his life at a tender age because of a freak accident 41 years ago, January 24, 1971. He was 12 years old and a grade five pupil. Babas, orphaned of both parents and cared for by his paternal  lolo   eked out a living on weekends and holidays as cargador , carrying luggage of passengers of vessels docking on the wharf of Estancia, Iloilo. Bionat: When I broached the idea to the governor of erecting a monument in honor of Scout Roy, he nodded at once. Scout Roy was his buddy in the Boy Scout. He promised silently beside the latter's bier that he will work it out to have a monument built for him. Defensor: Bravery and helpfullness are among the virtue...

Kalampay getting scarce and costly

Image
Today a kilo of kalampay fetches P80 to P140, at par with other fishes. This freshwater crab was almost free before. Photo above shows a freshly broiled crab. Kalampay" for sale was almost unheard of 40 years ago. The freshwater crab teemed in Iloilo rivers and people caught it for free. Today, it fetches the minimum P80 per kilo. Surprisingly, Iloilo River, dubbed the country's biggest septic tank after Pasig River, is still home to crabs and shrimps that Ilonggos consume. Mention the word today to the young generation and they would stare at you bewildered. "Kalampay? Ano ra man? (Kalampay? What's that.)" They more they would stare at you blankly if you asked them what "katang" and "baringay" are. The usage of term is getting scarcer like the fate of kalampay. "Katang" is a juvenile kalampay, the size a half thumb while "baringay" are botton size ones that migrate inland from the sea where they are spawned. ...

Has DPWH formed the BSWA?

The Beekeeper How far and fast has the Philippine Government been in complying with Republic Act 6716? Had the present and past administrations been as diligent as the present Malacanang tenant’s profligacy in letting loose expletives, the Philippine Archipelago must by this time be teeming with fresh water sources. So far, there is no compliance to RA 6716, an “act providing for the construction of water wells, rainwater collectors, development of springs and rehabilitation of existing water walls in all barangays in the Philippines.” The law commands the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to undertake the construction of the above water collecting facilities “30 days” from approval as well as rehabilitate existing wells. Still, DPWH must report to the respective committees on public works and highways of the Lower and Upper houses on its accomplishments “90 days” from the passage of the law, and thereafter, every 180 days. RA 6716, intends to cushion th...
