PNoy wants ‘proactive’ coordination bet. PH and US navies and concerned agencies in salvaging USS Guardian
PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III wants a concerted and “proactive” effort between the Philippine Navy and concerned government agencies with its counterparts in the United States in salvaging and extracting the USS Guardian, a U.S. Navy Avenger-class mine countermeasures ship, that ran aground in the Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu sea last Thursday (January 17), Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio “Jun” Aguinaldo Abaya said on Monday. In a press briefing in Malacanang, Abaya said the President instructed the Task Force to look into the cause of the ship’s grounding to ensure that no more “additional damage” happens to the reef considered as a national treasure. The Task Force, Abaya said, is composed of representatives from the Coast Guard, the Philippine Navy, the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines Western Command and the DOTC. “The President is mindful of that national treasure that we have – the very asset of the Tubbataha Reef and he wanted to make sure that we be proactive in this: that we minimize damage, that we have close coordination with the Americans, that we should not just allow them to conduct their salvage operations on their own,” Abaya said. He added that DOTC undersecretary Eduardo Oban, Jr. and Philippine Navy Admiral Jose Luis Alano will soon be meeting with Rear Adm. Thomas Carney, commander of the Logistics Group Western Pacific to discuss salvaging and extracting operations for the USS Guardian. He said among the steps to be taken to remove the vessel and protect the reef from further damage include, assessing, de-fueling, re-floating and installing oil-spill booms around the area to prevent... read morePNoy sa AFP ug PNP: siguradoha ang limpyo nga eleksyon

Sa turnover ceremony sa headquarters sa AFP sa Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City, miingon ang Presidente nga katungdanan sa AFP ug PNP nga protektahan ang tingog sa mga tawo. “Ang hamon ko po sa inyo, ang AFP kasama ang ating kapulisan, ang may obligasyon na siguraduhin ma maidaraos nang mapayapa at may integridad ang darating na halalan…nais nating mangibabaw ang boses ng bayan at hindi ito mabusalan ng armas, takot at karahasan,” matud pa ni Aquino. “Saligang Batas ang dapat ninyong kilingan. Taong bayan ang dapat ninyong papanigan. Pangalagaan ninyo ang karapatan ng mga mamamayan na malayang makapili ng kanilang mga pinuno. Ang gusto natin tapat, patas at naaayon sa batas ang darating na eleksyon mula sa kampanya hanggang sa proklamasyon ng mga bagong pinuno,” dugang pa sa Presidente. Samtang gihagit ni Presidente Aquino ang bag-ong AFP chief of staff nga si Lt. Gen. Emmanuel Bautista nga ipadayon ang epektibong paghatag og proteksyon sa Armadong Kusog ngadto sa katawhan taliwala sa kakulang sa gidaghanon sa mga sundalo ug nagkadakung populasyon sa nasud. Matud pa ni Aquino nga ang kakulang sa mga sundalo masulbad pinaagi sa pagpaubos sa mga sundalo sa mas hingpit nga pagbansay-bansay ug paghatag og saktong pahulay sa mga sundalong kanunay ipadala sa operasyon. Ang Presidente nagkanayon nga nigahin na ang iyang administrasyon og P75 bilyon alang sa sunod nga lima ka tuig ubos sa AFP modernization program. Sa Enero 20 pormal nang... read more
