THE Philippine Army said on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, that it is open to any investigation amid the claims of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (NPA) on alleged irregularities in an operation that resulted in the death of its five members in Bilar, Bohol last week.In a statement, Philippine Army spokesperson Lieutenant Colo Louie Dema-ala maintained the legitimacy of the operation in Bilar, Bohol on Friday, February 23, 2024, where police and military jointly served an arrest warrant to Domingo Jaspe Compoc, a suspected NPA leader.“This was a result of a legitimate operations covered with official reports and scene of the crime reports from the PNP. Likewise, the Philippine Army is open to any investigation as we do not dignify the twisted narratives of the CTG and their front organizations,” said Dema-ala.“Our troops understand and uphold human rights and the International Humanitarian Law in the conduct of military operations. Each and every soldier strictly adheres to the standing rules of engagement to ensure the protection of the rights of our people,” he added.Compoc, the top leader of the NPA insurgents in Bohol, was killed during the operation along with four other suspected rebels identified as Hannah Cesista, who served as former field investigator and paralegal of cause-oriented group Karapatan; Parlito Segovia; Marlon Omosura; and an individual only known as Juaning, but identified as Alberto Sancho by the CPP-NPA.The police said the suspected rebels resisted arrest, resulting in the encounter.In a statement, aside from accusing the state forces of deliberately killing the five individuals, the CPP-NPA said police and military personnel also abducted a certain Berting, whom they asked for Compoc’s location, and two of his minor companions, including a four-year-old child.“Their location is yet unknown,” the group said.It added that Police Corporal Gilbert Amper, who took part in the operation, was killed by military personnel “after a skirmish between the operating units of the PNP and AFP.”“The PNP and AFP were racing against one another in trying to get to the location of the resting unit of the NPA. The PNP unit arrived first in the area and were able to catch Ka Silong (Compoc) and company unawares,” the CPP-NPA said.“Operating troops of the 47th Infantry Battalion arrived later, sparking a firefight between them and the police unit, leading to the death of one police officer,” it added.In a press conference, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief of the Public Information Office (PIO) Colonel Jean Fajardo said they will look into the authenticity of the photos floated by the CPP-NPA showing Compoc being accosted by a military personnel alive.She said Central Visayas Police Regional Office Director Brigadier General Anthony Aberin has also ordered the conduct of an in-depth investigation on the incident.PNP chief maintains regularity of Bilar, Bohol operation“The statement came from the CPP-NPA and this is a self-serving statement on their part but nasabi na rin ito ng ating Chief PNP kahapon na open ang PNP sa anumang investigation na gagawin regarding this incident pero nasabi na rin ng ating Chief PNP na masakit yun para sa PNP na namatayan tayo ng isang pulis, may isang nasugatan para lang sabihin na ito ay isang insidente na gawa-gawa lamang ng PNP dahil hindi isasakripisyo ng PNP ‘yung buhay ng pulis natin para lang sa ganitong insidente,” said Fajardo.“It’s quite easy for anyone to release a particular picture pero we have to check saan ba nakuha itong picture, authenticity ng pictures, sino ba nakakuha ng picture na ito. We cannot accept hook, line and sinker yung mga nilalabas sa media, particularly coming from the CPP-NPA,” she added. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) How do you outsmart a bookies? Philippines Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama wants the fair market value in the revised real property tax (RPT) ordinance to reflect the current rate, despite calls from businessmen to stagger its implementation.“Pass the law, and we can discuss the implementing rules after,” Rama said over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024.As the mayor of the City of Cebu, Rama said he wants it approved.On Tuesday, Feb. 27, Rama urged the City Council to pass the ordinance pertaining to the revised RPT before the end of this month.However, City Councilor Noel Eleuterio Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance, said he still needs to meet the other councilors to discuss the matter and reach a consensus.Wenceslao said jumping to final deliberations without having the stance of the majority might simply defer the ordinance.In his point of view as a lawyer, Rama argued that implementing rules may be deferred within reasonable time to allow those affected to adjust their operational and financial management.“But let the fair market value already be back to what it is at the current time,” Rama said.Rama found it unfair that property owners have enjoyed paying taxes based on the value 20 years ago.The RPT Code of Cebu City was last revised in 2002.“Ang yuta bayran na unta (The tax paid on real estate should be) on the present value,” Rama said.He said it is the rich’s corporate social responsibility to share by paying the right amount of taxes.ReactionOn Saturday, Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) president Jay Yuvallos said they are proactively working with the mayor, his team and the City Council on this. On the matter of the fair market valuation, he said they hope that it will reflect a truthful and realistic value. “Certainly not based on speculation (bloated), a reflection of a fair value will also protect the land owner,” he said. He said the mayor has also intimated that the implementation will be on a staggered basis. “What is important and the clamor of everyone is that the increase will be gradual so that it becomes affordable. This is subject to a more thorough discussion when we get there,” he said, adding: “We also take cognizance of the fact that they need revenues to finance projects which we also want to see very soon, especially infrastructure projects that can significantly impact the lives of every Cebuano.”Yuvallos said the goal of the chamber is to help its members and the business community in general to expand and grow business. “This will in effect widen the tax base (not only RPT) as a source of revenue for the City. We will work with the City on the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and helping promote a Business-Friendly Cebu City as what the mayor wanted to espouse,” he said. He said the CCCI will introduce programs that will encourage expansion and investments into the city and promote global competitiveness of the enterprises in Cebu.Proposed ordinanceUnder the proposed ordinance, the formula for deriving the total tax due as explained during the public hearing Friday is getting first the market value of the property. This can be determined by multiplying the land area by the fair market value (FMV).Skyrocketing taxesAfterwards, the market value will be multiplied by the assessment level, which will generate the assessed value. Then, the assessed value will be multiplied by the three percent tax rate. The result is the total tax due.For instance, a 1,493-square-meter commercial property in the Cebu IT Park with a current tax due of P26,874 will have a tax due of P895,800 once the updated tax ordinance gets implemented.Similarly, a portion of Cebu Business Park under the jurisdiction of Barangay Hipodromo will see its FMV shoot up to P245,000 from P16,300 per square meter, significantly affecting the RPT that Ayala Land will have to cough up if the measure is approved.In the proposed RPT ordinance, the market value of properties in some prime locations in Cebu City is expected to increase from 200 to 3,200 percent. Mayor Rama urged the passage of the RPT Code in order to raise funds to realize the objectives of his administration like the Gubat sa Baha (War against Flooding) and other projects like the transitional housing that will house the families affected by the clearing of three-meter easement zones.On Cebu City Hall’s online program “Pagtuki, Pagsusi, Pagsuta” on Wednesday, Feb. 28, City Budget Officer Jerone Castillo said P600 million is intended for the design and construction of 600 transitional housing units for the first phase of the project.The P600 million is one of the items in the first supplemental budget that the executive department has requested the council to approve this year.Other items include budget allocations for the Palarong Pambansa, Charter day bonus, and adjustments for the City Council.

Otherwise, it’s a no-go.He also clarified that the list is not yet final, saying it is subject to the collective decision of their political party, the Bando Osmeña Purok Kauswagan (BOPK). Former mayor Osmeña endorsed Archival for mayor last month.“He might not be a ‘good’ candidate, but I know he would be a good mayor,” Osmeña told SunStar Cebu in a report published on Feb. 28. Archival is one of four individuals who have expressed their intention to run for mayor next year.

I mean, the willingness is one of the ingredients to run but some of the resources like financial resources you need that. If I cannot find it, then I don’t run. So, I’m trying to find ways on how I can find it,” Archival said. If he wins the mayoral race, Archival said that among his agenda will be the “in-house” order within the City’s leadership.He said he has observed over the years that many City Hall officials are either neophytes or inexperienced. He said they must be complemented with individuals who are experienced and experts for better management of manpower and resources of the City Government. He said he will also look for “right” and “realistic” finances that will efficiently fuel the City’s programs and projects thus avoiding wastage. This will include allocating and appropriating only needed funds for every department based on their annual expenses. In his experience, some departments receive more funds than what they need for their annual expenses, he said. Archival said he will be stringent in funding and allocating the City’s coffers to only vital services, programs and projects. / EHP

This is subject to a more thorough discussion when we get there,” he said, adding: “We also take cognizance of the fact that they need revenues to finance projects which we also want to see very soon, especially infrastructure projects that can significantly impact the lives of every Cebuano.”Yuvallos said the goal of the chamber is to help its members and the business community in general to expand and grow business. “This will in effect widen the tax base (not only RPT) as a source of revenue for the City. We will work with the City on the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and helping promote a Business-Friendly Cebu City as what the mayor wanted to espouse,” he said.

The other three are incumbent Mayor Michael Rama, Metropolitan Cebu Water District board chairman Jose Daluz III, and former Bureau of Customs commissioner Yogi Filemon Ruiz. During the 2022 national and local elections, Archival ranked first among the candidates running for councilor in the north district after he garnered 125,485 votes.Aside from being an engineer, Archival is also a businessman and a known environmental advocate.“I was telling Tommy to give me time. I mean, the willingness is one of the ingredients to run but some of the resources like financial resources you need that. If I cannot find it, then I don’t run. So, I’m trying to find ways on how I can find it,” Archival said. If he wins the mayoral race, Archival said that among his agenda will be the “in-house” order within the City’s leadership.He said he has observed over the years that many City Hall officials are either neophytes or inexperienced. He said they must be complemented with individuals who are experienced and experts for better management of manpower and resources of the City Government. He said he will also look for “right” and “realistic” finances that will efficiently fuel the City’s programs and projects thus avoiding wastage. This will include allocating and appropriating only needed funds for every department based on their annual expenses. In his experience, some departments receive more funds than what they need for their annual expenses, he said. Archival said he will be stringent in funding and allocating the City’s coffers to only vital services, programs and projects. / EHP
