Beach owners seek TRO against demolition order
AT LEAST 13 beach resort owners recently petitioned for a court ruling to temporarily restrain Mayor Benedicto Alcala from implementing a demolition order set Monday. Reports said even before the court could act on the petition, another resort, Casanova and represented by Atty. Dennis Hora filed a similar motion Thursday, stopping the mayor from proceeding with the demolition plan. The ensuing legal battle for the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) put government and non-government groups into a grind, doing ocular inspections and hearing sides before the court resolves either Friday or Saturday, says Capitol Legal Officer Atty. Handel Lagunay. Environmental Legal Assistance Center said some of petitioning resort owners have earlier signed undertakings manifesting their voluntary demolition of their illegal structures within the environmental protection zone. Apparently fed up with the promises and feeling the pressure from environmentalists and local officials, Mayor Alcala finally sent the demolition ultimatum for Monday, June 8. According to reports, Paz Trotin of the Bohol Divers Lodge and 12 other resort owners seek a TRO against Panglao chief executive who ordered the demolition of the illegal structures within the beaches’ 20-meter environmental protection zones. Meanwhile Bohol environment officer Nestor Canda assured the embattled mayor of full government support for his decision to implement pro-environment laws. While PENRO Canda admitted the mayor may be “pressured”, he assured technical personnel from his office to help the mayor in defending his stand in demolishing structures on public access areas. Speaking at the Kapihan sa PIA, PENRO Canda explained that the local governments are tasked to implement the national and local laws as mandated in the local government code....Bohol women groups get Kalayaan livelihood funds

The three groups, all of Guindulman town would be awarded funds for meat processing and goat and chicken raising on that day, says Labor Regional Director Elias Cayanong in a communication to concerned government agencies. This too as the country commemorates the 111th anniversary of the Philippine Independence which is highlighted by livelihood fairs, awarding of employment contracts, training vouchers, scholarships and grants for livelihood assistance, opening of public assistance centers, entertainment, fireworks display and the usual flag raising and wreathe laying activities, bares the labor department. It may be recalled that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has directed the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) as the lead agency in the organization and implementation of programs and activities in commemoration of the 111th Philippine Independence. Pursuant to the presidential Administrative Order, DOLE Secretary Marianito Roque crafted the inter-agency task force to oversee and manage the nationwide Kalayaan ’09 celebration. 24 members of the Asosasyon sa Nagkahiusang Kababayen-an sa Bayong of Guindulman, Bohol would be awarded P33, 187 for training cum production (TCP) funds on meat processing.

Another women’s group, Lantay Women’s Association of barangay Lombog gets P37,940 for TCP on native chicken raising for its 29 members....PGMA names Montano envoy for film, camera
PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has appointed Boholano actor and director Cesar Montano as Presidential Special Envoy for Film and Digital Cinema. In her appointment for Montano, which she signed May 19, the president said the actor will coordinate with the Departments of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Tourism (DOT), Trade and Industry (DTI), and Energy (DOE) in developing appropriate strategies and activities that will enhance the appreciation of Philippine cinema. Moreover, Montano, who has brought distinct honor and pride to the country for his classic Filipino films would also lead in mobilizing the private sector in the Philippine cinema promotion. Most political observers see the recent presidential action as an apparent accommodation for the Administration’s losing senatorial bets in the past elections. Montano was a candidate under the administration party who lost his senatorial bid. Over all these, Boholano source close to the actor does not believe the appointment would jeopardize Montano’s future political bid. The actor who openly admits his Baclayon roots has been touted to throw his hat in the political arena here, and aims for the province’s top post. In later interviews however, Montano said he has a wide option open before him. “Its all set, Montano is definitely running for governor, the source who asked not to be named said. Montano has been testing the political waters all over Bohol in the past few months, the source said “and he has made up his mind to go”. With the presidential appointment, Montano would be accorded diplomatic status, be issued a diplomatic passport for his overseas missions. The appointment however does not allow him to receive salary or...25 mayors leave Lakas for Villar’s Nationalista
IN A surprise show of party expediency, 25 Bohol mayors shook off their party affiliations to the welcoming embrace of the Nationalist Party headed by presidential bet and Senator Manuel Villar.

EFFECTIVE July 1, government state workers are eligible for the four annual salary increases as Congress recently voted for the passage of the salary standardization law (SSL) reports bared. The Congressional action also caused the availability the funds for its pay increase’s four-year implementation. Many government workers view the development as timely, especially when the country’s economy is being rocked by the global financial crisis and when the government is in its programmed spending with the emergency employment and livelihood programs to keep the economy buoyant. With prices now vacillated by the unstable price of oil and fuel, the Congressional action on the passage of the law is a huge development, government observers said. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has previously certified the salary standardization law as urgent in an apparent attempt to bring the salaries of state workers close to the levels of their counterparts in the private sector. Over the development too, Cabinet Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the government now is assured of enough funds for the salary standardization. Meanwhile, Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs Gabriel Claudio said the timely implementation of SSL-3 will help the economy at this time of global economic crisis. “It will help perk up the economy through spending,” Claudio said, hinting that more spending power would tend to keep people buying and thus, patting into shape local economies. With Congress passing the law, it also has caused the immediate upgrading of compensational package for low-level to top government positions, a step to be implemented in a staggered system for four years. The salary standardization is expected to benefit the more than 1.5...National News
