FOR A local antique dealer in Cebu City, religious items and antiques should belong to churches, claiming that religious items offered and displayed in antique shops are often stolen artifacts.Raphael Ojales, co-owner of Raphael’s Antiques, an antique store that opened in the 1990s located in Barangay Kamputhaw, said his shop avoids acquiring and selling religious items because of the sensitive nature of the items. He also believes that religious items should be in churches.“I really don’t deal with or focus on church (antiques). It’s a really sensitive topic,” said Ojales in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Monday, March 4, 2024.Ojales acknowledged the recent issue surrounding the ownership of the pulpit panels of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima in Boljoon, Cebu, and says this is among the reasons he avoids acquiring and selling religious items. After decades of being missing since these were reported stolen in the 1980s, the four wooden panels that belong to the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima in Boljoon, Cebu resurfaced on Feb. 14, 2024.These resurfaced after being donated by a private collector to the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP). The town of Boljoon has urged the NMP to return the four pulpit panels to reclaim a significant part of its cultural and religious heritage. The NMP, for its part, said the panels are “legitimately procured.”Ojales added that there is a possibility that there are people within the church who could be tempted to take a religious item.“Well, it’s clear naman for church items kinawat g’yud na (were stolen). I mean they’re made exclu­sively for the church,” said Ojales.Ojales said he was advised by his father to deal only with vintage furniture and other items, instead of religious items.Raphael’s Antiques is a shop that was originally located on General Maxilom Avenue but closed in 2014 when Ojales’ mother got sick. The antique shop reopened in 2020 and has been moved to its current location. The shop curates vintage items such as furniture, lamps and other household decorations.Ojales said they acquire antique pieces by traveling and visiting ancestral homes of people and inquiring about vintage pieces that are available for sale or having canvassers in other areas inquire for them. He said he has canvassers in other municipalities in Cebu, such as Balamban and areas outside the province like Bohol.Ojales said when it comes to items like furniture and other pieces, authentications are not often necessary because they are obtained from individuals who are elderly and are genuinely from older eras. However, art pieces, particularly those with signatures, require authentication through a certificate of authenticity. / RJM Is there a basketball World Cup? Philippines THE Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said that separating Mindanao from the entire Philippines will be no good for the country as it will degrade its territorial integrity.(Photo from Benhur Abalos Jr. Facebook page)In a statement on Friday, February 2, 2024, DILG secretary Benhur Abalos Jr. said in order to ensure a long-lasting peace, progress, and development in the Mindanao region, the Philippines must remain united and undivided.Secession is not the answer to Mindanao’s concerns, Abalos said.“It would violate the fundamental tenets of our Constitution. It would destroy the territorial integrity of the Philippines and disrupt decades of painstaking effort to build a stronger union among all our peoples and ethnicities,” he added.Abalos urged all stakeholders to uphold the sanctity of the Philippine Constitution for a strong, united, and undivided nation.He said the people’s right to self-determination, which means pursuing political, economic, social, and cultural development while respecting the state’s territorial integrity and legal processes should be exercised within the framework of the State.“Indeed, the people of Mindanao have the freedom to make political choices or pursue economic, social, and cultural progress. Various mechanisms make manifest the government’s respect and recognition for the development needs of Mindanao, such as the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARRM),” he said.“The BARMM is a powerful example of addressing historical grievances and providing self-governance within the bounds of Philippine law,” he added.Former President Rodrigo Duterte revealed their plan to revive the Mindanao initiative which aims to separate Mindanao from the Republic of the Philippines.Duterte said that secession is not a rebellion nor a sedition as it will take a legal process.“Kasi ilang presidente na eh, walang nangyari sa Pilipinas (Despite having had several presidents, nothing has happened in the Philippines),” he said.Prior to this, Duterte has expressed displeasure to the administration of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. push for charter change through People’s Initiative.President Adviser on Peace and Reconciliation Carlito Galvez Jr. urged the public to “turn away” calls for an independent Mindanao, noting that it will destabilize the country.Galvez served as the chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines under Duterte’s administration."This call for separation is anathema to the letter and spirit of the Philippine Constitution, which is the bulwark of our nation’s identity as a people," Galvez said.Meanwhile, several chief executives in Mindanao stood firm as they expressed opposition to Duterte’s call.Maguindanao del Sur Governor Bai Mariam Sangki Mangudadatu said that Mindanao secession will deny the Constitutional rights of their people and will compromise government’s efforts to build a stronger Philippines.She maintained that separation of Mindanao is not the answer to the problem in the region.“Mindanao is a mirror of diversity, progress, and preserving peace. Unity leads to peace, development, and prosperity. Contrary to instability, underdevelopment, and disorder,” she said.“We affirm that secession is not the answer to Mindanao’s concern. It denies our people the rights embodied by the constitution, including the destruction of our territorial integrity compromising our efforts to build a stronger nation,” she added.Sultan Kudarat Governor Datu Pax Ali Mangudadatu also affirmed his commitment to democracy, inclusivity and justice as he called for unity and one united Philippines.He said that separating Mindanao from the rest of the Philippines will bring disruption of productivity in all of its three regions.“Mindanao’s concerns should be resolved without pursuing secession. Such division would infringe the fundamental doctrines of our Constitution. It would disrupt the interconnected productivity of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao that has long sustained our national economy, and risk fracturing the foundation of our unity and national stability,” he said.“In the spirit of unity, let us reaffirm our commitment to the principles of democracy, inclusivity, and justice. We must move forward stronger as one undivided nation under a collective objective of stability and progress,” he added.The governors of the Bangsamoro region for their part rallied behind the Marcos’ administration.“His consistent and substantial policy statements and programs have instilled a sense of stability since assuming office,” the statement read.“The Bagong Pilipinas program stands as a testament to his steadfast commitment to ensuring that the government’s presence is felt through the efficient delivery of services to people and communities,” they added.The statement was signed by Tawi-Tawi Governor Yshmael Sali, Basilan Governor Hajiman Hatama-Salliman, Lanao del Sur Governor Mamintal Alonto Adiong Jr., and Maguindanao del Norte Governor Abdulraof Macacua.
