MEXICO – The family, friends and political allies of slain village chief Jose Gonzales Jr. of Barangay San Miguel in this town are crying for justice as he was laid to rest Wednesday.
Gonzales was shot and killed while his son Jayson, a Youth Council official, was seriously wounded when gunmen aboard a motorcycle fired on them in the vicinity of Barangay Parian near Poblacion on their way back to San Miguel village around 11 a.m. after attending the 441st Pampanga Day thanksgiving mass at Capitol in the City of San Fernando.
Thousands joined the funeral cum rally for justice, which made a stop at the town hall for brief ceremonies where the family and allies of Gonzales urged the people of Mexico to condemn the “political killing,” stay vigilant and to remain strong amid fear.
“Huwag po sana nating mapunta sa kawalan ang pagkamatay ni Bong. Kailangan, hustisya para sa kanya!” exclaimed the family of the late village chief.
“Let us not allow the sacrifice of Barangay Captain Bong Gonzales to go in vain. We must seek justice and continue his fight against political killings. He was a good leader and a brave ally who stood up for the people,” said Councilor Rex Calma.
“His killing is senseless and politically motivated. There must be justice for him and we will not stop until the case is solved. We are expecting for immediate results from the Task Force Gonzales formed by police. We condole and sympathize with his family,” added Acting Mayor Roy Manalastas.
For her part, Third District Board Member Trina Dizon expressed optimism that divine justice will prevail.
“We believe in justice. Even as we mourn and cry for Barangay Captain Gonzales, we know that God will not forsake him and His divine justice will prevail,” the provincial lawmaker said.

Director Brillante Mendoza during the SM City Batangas launch with Atty. Victor Reginald Dimacuha, representing his mother; Batangas City Mayor Vilma A. Dimacuha; Atty. Antonio Pastor; Batangas City Cultural Affairs Committee Vice Chair Eduardo Borbon; Batangas City Investments Officer Eric Sanohan; and Batangas State University’s Melanie Arguelles. They are shown with SM City Batangas Assistant Mall Manager Gemina Buenaflor and SM Vice President for Marketing Millie Dizon
Mallgoers recently had the rare opportunity to view internationally-acclaimed film director Brillante Mendoza’s award winning films and to meet the filmmaker up close during the Brillante Mendoza Film Festival at the SM malls and cinemas.
The festival showcased four of Director Mendoza’s films – Manoro, Kaleldo, Foster Child, and Lola – with each screening highlighted by a Q&A Session with the renowned filmmaker.
The festival had students as its primary audience, paving the way for a new generation of film enthusiasts. But prominent members of the local community also attended the screenings to pay tribute to Director Mendoza, who had brought so many honors to the country.
The film festival unreeled at SM City Clark, a homecoming of sorts for Director Mendoza, who is a proud Kapampangan with students from the Angeles University Foundation, Jocson College, and Sta. Maria Elementary School viewing his award winning films.
It then proceeded to SM City Dasmarinas, where the director got a hero’s welcome from students of De La Salle University Dasmariñas, Emilio Aguinaldo College, FEU Silang, as well as the Sisters of Mary Boys Town and Sisters of Mary Girls Town Schools.
The event at SM City San Lazaro was a sentimental one, as these were special screenings for the University of Santo Tomas, of which Director Mendoza was an alumnus. And not even the habagat during that time could stop the faculty and students from honoring him.

The launch at SM City San Lazaro has the University of Santo Tomas as its theme, and students and faculty members came in full force for Director Mendoza, an alumnus of the school. They are shown beside a replica of the Benavidas statue.
Other film festival stops were at SM City Santa Rosa with students from the Alpha Angelicum Academy and the Santa Rosa Educational Institution; and SM City Batangas attended by students from the University of Batangas, Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas, and Cristo Rey Institute of Career Development.
At SM City Naga, the cinema was packed with students from Ateneo de Naga, Universidad de Sta Isabel, University of Nueva Careces, Naga College Foundation, Bicol Science of Applied Technology, St. Joseph School, Naga City Science High School, Camaligan High School, and Inuyunan High School.
The same was true at SM City Marilao, where the films played to SRO audiences including students from St. Paul Bocaue, Meycauayan College, Sophia School, Felicitas Berardino Memorial Trade School, Bulacan State University, Dr. Yanga’s College, and Colegio San Pascual.
More recent screenings were held at SM Lanang Premier in Davao and SM City Taytay.
The Brillante Mendoza Film Festival is one of the many exciting projects of the SM malls and cinemas.

‘SAFE FOR DISPOSAL’ Retired Vice Adm. Mateo Mayuga, CEO of Glenn Defense Marine Philippines Inc., said “domestic waste” dumped into Subic Bay is “clean.” NIÑO JESUS ORBETA
The head of the Philippine office of a US Navy contractor on Monday disputed claims by government agencies that it dumped into Subic Bay toxic wastes from American ships that recently took part in joint military exercises in the country.
Five days after the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported the environment issue, retired Vice Adm. Mateo Mayuga, CEO of Glenn Defense Marine Philippines Inc., called reports about the company dumping hazardous wastes into the bay “inaccurate or false.”
Mayuga said the local office of a Singapore-based multinational company operating in 27 countries handled domestic wastes from the toilets and kitchens of US Navy ships, but, according to him, these were safe for disposal.
“What we get from the US Navy are already pretreated wastewater. These are even cleaner than the ones coming out of our respective homes. I’m sorry to say that,” Mayuga told reporters Monday at a press briefing in Makati City.
Roberto Garcia, chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), earlier told reporters that test results showed that Glenn Defense vessels were carrying “sewage waste with high levels of toxicity.”
Garcia said the results “confirmed that [Glenn Defense] did not treat the waste, which it should have.”
Lab tests
Hernan Habacon, spokesperson of Subic Water and Sewerage Co. that tested water samples from a Glenn Defense vessel, said the results showed that these were “beyond the permissible limits.”
Results of the tests obtained by the Inquirer showed that samples of effluents taken from vessels of the US Navy contractor exceeded Philippine standards, but these were not tested for heavy metals because the firm that conducted the tests, Subic Water, was not equipped to do so.
Even so, the SBMA Ecology Center said wastes collected from American ships and dumped into Philippine waters last month could not be classified as “hazardous wastes.”
Asked to confirm reports that the center had told the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) that the wastes dumped by Glenn Defense’s vessels could not be considered hazardous, Angel Bagaloyos, acting head of the center, said in a text message: “Technically, yes.”
Asked to elaborate, Bagaloyos said: “By law, Republic Act No. 6969, sewage is exempted. The law on hazard waste management identifies hazard waste.”
RA 6969 (Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Waste Control Act of 1990) defines hazardous wastes as “substances that are without any safe commercial, industrial, agricultural or economic usage and are shipped, transported or brought from the country of origin for dumping or disposal into or in transit through any part of the territory of the Philippines.”
“Hazardous wastes shall also refer to by-products, side-products, process residues, spent reaction media, contaminated plant or equipment or other substances from manufacturing operations, and as consumer discards of manufactured products,” it says.
Septage
Citing information shared by the SBMA at a technical conference in Pampanga on Monday where things were supposedly clarified, EMB Director for Central Luzon Lormelyn Claudio said: “It is septage, not hazardous waste. It’s domestic waste.”
Asked by the Inquirer to explain that in layman’s term, she said: “Feces.”
Whether the effluents were at hazardous levels is still subject to laboratory tests, she said.
Where exactly the wastes were dumped will be established by the SBMA, she said.
37 km from bay
The SBMA, in a spot inspection report on Oct. 15, said it was told by the captain of a Glenn Defense vessel, the MT Glenn Guardian, that the wastes would be dumped at least 37 kilometers from Subic Bay last month.
The SBMA team found some 189,500 liters of domestic waste and about 760 liters of bilge water (a combination of water, oil and grease) during an inspection of the vessel. These were hauled from the US Navy ship Emory Land.
Mayuga said he would never let dumping of toxic waste into Subic Bay happen. “I’m also a Filipino,” he said.
US Navy responsibility
Mayuga said it was the responsibility of the US Navy to ensure that the wastewater had undergone treatment.
“The US Navy and even commercial vessels have water treatment facilities aboard their ships,” said Mayuga, who in 2005 led a military inquiry into the involvement of at least four generals tagged in the “Hello Garci” election fraud scandal during the Arroyo administration.
Asked if the US Navy contractor had a way of knowing whether the water passed to its tankers was treated, Mayuga said: “They have to make sure that the water had been pretreated.”
“Our clients must do the testing themselves. It’s a practice in the US Navy that you don’t give away untreated wastewater,” Mayuga added.
He refused to answer the question on who should be blamed if the water dumped into the sea was toxic. “There are procedures to know who dumped the wastewater. We have the technology now to determine who the source was,” he said.
Glenn Defense also serviced the 103 ships that made calls at the Subic Bay Freeport from Oct. 3 to Dec. 22, 2009, Jan. 5 to Oct. 12, 2010, Aug. 21 to Nov. 10, 2011, and Jan. 2 to Oct. 17, 2012, records released by the SBMA showed.

Investigations
Mayuga said he was open to any investigation. “As long as it (claim) is valid, we welcome this. That’s the only way to move forward.”
Pleading to the media to honor only the sources that are willing to be named, he said “all this [controversy] started from one inaccurate report that took on a life of its own.”
Mayuga said the report had originated from anonymous calls the SBMA had received.
The US Navy and the SBMA have launched an investigation of the allegations of hazardous-waste dumping by Glenn Defense.
Suspended
Pending the results of the investigation, the Subic Bay Freeport Chamber of Commerce also announced it had suspended the membership of the contractor, a registered locator at the Subic Bay Freeport.
An internal investigation on Glenn Defense’s part, however, was no longer necessary, Mayuga said.
“After every ship visit, we do a hotwash. It’s a critical analysis we do on how we had performed, both the good and the bad (aspects),” he said. “And we have done nothing wrong.”
Mayuga said he found it ironic that his company was at the center of an environmental controversy when he and his family have been concerned about the environment.
“I have a daughter who owns two organic stores. She’s a vegetarian. Our grandchildren prefer organic materials at home. How could I violate environmental laws and still have the gall to face them?” he said.
“We are a responsible company and we will do everything without compromise to observe established standards of releasing pretreated waste to the ocean at the internationally prescribed distances,” he said.
Mayuga said he was still waiting for the SBMA Ecology Center to call him for a meeting on the matter.
Contrary to reports that Glenn Defense was hiding under the skirt of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), Mayuga said the company was not covered by the bilateral agreement “nor do we claim to be.”
“We service only US Navy ships but we are not in any way included in VFA arrangements,” he said.
Bagaloyos did not reply to the Inquirer’s query if the SBMA Ecology Center had examined the entire composition of the wastewater samples taken from the Glenn Defense vessels.
While the EMB was holding the technical conference, the SBMA board held an emergency meeting at Gateway Mall in Quezon City on the findings of the SBMA Ecology Center regarding the issue of waste dumping into Subic Bay.
Garcia did not respond to the Inquirer’s calls and text messages on the results of the board meeting.
‘Beyond permissible limits’
Habacon, spokesperson for Subic Water, said in a statement: “The SBMA Ecology Center sent us a sample for [laboratory] testing, allegedly from the said vessel, [MT] Glenn Guardian. We tested it for domestic strength only, and the results showed that it was beyond the permissible limits. The sample is of industrial strength.”
Subic Water treats only domestic wastewater and it has no capability to test the presence of heavy metals, Habacon said.
“The result we sent to SBMA Ecology Center, therefore, is not conclusive whether the sample is toxic or not. But as per our standards, the sample was not fit for release in the environment as the organic content was beyond the permissible limits,” he said.
A source familiar with the investigation of the SBMA Ecology Center told the Inquirer: “The mere fact that the wastewater was industrial grade means it is already hazardous to the environment, and violates DENR Administrative Order No. 35, which contains the standard for the discharging of treated wastewater.”
The source, who asked not to be named due to the sensitive nature of the issue, said the water samples also contained oil and grease, “which can be classified as hazardous.”
Sought for comment on the SBMA Ecology Center’s findings, former Environment Undersecretary Gregorio Magdaraog, president of the Subic Bay Freeport Chamber for Health and Environment Conservation said:
“Fecal waste in water pollutes the environment with pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites that can cause disease to humans and other living creatures. Serious diseases can be caused [by this].”
“It is therefore hazardous to one’s health and the environment. To say otherwise is irresponsible,” he said.
EMB’s Claudio said a maritime pollution law required that effluents be treated when these are discharged 5.5 kilometers (3 nautical miles) from the coast.
Asked if the contractor applied for a permit to dump or collect waste from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Lt. Cmdr. Roben de Guzman said: “As far as I know it should [get permits from] other agencies, not us.”
De Guzman, station commander of Subic and head of the PCG’s Port State Control Center Manila, said MT Glenn Guardian and MT Glenn Enterprise were sighted in Manila two weeks ago.

ANGELES CITY – Veteran mediaman Robledo Sanchez on December 4 forwarded a letter to Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II requesting the agency to review the awards given to the Pamintuan administration.

In his letter, Sanchez said the issue of irregularities surrounding the Pamintuan administration, particularly the controversial “ghost employees” in the job order appointments, do not resonate with the corrupt-free government advocacy of the Aquino administration.

A copy of the letter was also forwarded to DILG regional director Florida Dijan.

Sanchez also cited the case of several barangay officials who denied any knowledge about the inclusion of their relatives’ names in the list of the Pamintuan administration’s job order appointments.

According to the barangay officials, the names of their relatives have been included in the list of job order employees even when their relatives are not even working for City Hall and have never received any salary from the City Government.

Among these officials are Barangay Lourdes Northwest Kagawad and Councilmen’s League of Angeles City (CLAC) Vice-President for External Affairs William David, Barangay Cutcut Kagawad and CLAC Executive Vice-President Roy Ogurida, Barangay Salapungan Kagawad Renato Coronel and Barangay Margot Kagawad Nenita Ferrer.

Sanchez also cited the observations of the City Project Monitoring Committee regarding the projects of the City Government, which are allegedly poorly planned, poorly constructed and perceived to be overpriced.

Sanchez also mentioned the several irregularities cited by COA in its Annual Audit Report for Angeles City for the year 2011, which include unliquidated cash advances amounting to P19.4 million, unbooked hospital equipment donations amounting to P13.9 million, and reimbursements of non-petty expenses amounting to P9.6 million.

On October 19, 2012, Sanchez filed graft and corruption charges against Pamintuan, City Accountant Wilfredo Tiotuico, City Budget Officer Fe Corpuz, City Treasurer Juliet Quinsaat and other department heads over the 2,506 job order employees employed by the Pamintuan administration.
