TRASLACION
The transfer of the image of Ina from the old Penafrancia Shrine to the Naga Metropolitan Cathedral
called traslacion is interpreted here in acrylic by Harold Gomez of Pili, Camarines Sur. He is the
founder, along with his wife, Cris, also an artist; of the Kintab Art Group of the town. A sculptural
piece of his which is made of discarded and weathered tree trunk, recently received an honorable
mention in an annual national contest. This years traslacion is set on Friday, September 12.

SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2014 OPINION
My personal banking experience

with Security Banks Lucena (Quezon)
branch is very satisfactory as the local
management and staff are all service-
oriented and attentive to clients needs.
As a result, it is very seldom that their
counters are over-crowded, since
clients transactions are served with
dispatch. When you have an effcient
service bank, you have no qualms
entrusting all your excess funds to the
fnancial institution.
ROADSHOW: President Benigno
Simeon C. Aquino will embark next
week on a fve-country visit in Europe
and the USA, including Spain, Brussels,
France, and Germany. His top-level
delegation will promote investments
especially for the governments pipeline
infrastructure projects under the public-
private partnership program (PPP).
One of the highlights of the presidents
foreign trip is the launching of the
Philippine Bamboo Showcase.
Infrastructure has always been a
part in the governments investment
Two separate art exhibits
held proximately to the
celebration of the annual
Penafrancia festa in Naga
City, show the perpetually
inchoate state of visual art
in this part of the region,
to borrow a phrase from
the late Jesuit Fr. Miguel
Bernad.
Then as now, most
of the works shown at
the Bicol Nudma: Nata?
exhibit during the Bicol
Business Week at the JMR
Coliseum; as well as the
on-going Rokyaw show at
the Avenue Plaza Hotel
lobby, reek of romanticism,
rich and redolent with
varicolored fora and fatted
fauna; and reminiscent
of the Amorsolo-school
of Philippine landscape
painting.
Almost always canvas-
bound and painted
in acrylic, the ouvres
devoutly follow the folk
genre style popularized
and perpetuated by early
Naga visual artists like
Raul Alcomendas and
Pancho Piano; thus the
usual subjects are Bicol
cultural identifers, like Ina
and Mayon Volcano.
While the Nudma: Nata?
exhibit of the Kintab Art
Group, the Burikbutikan
Artists Collective Inc.,
and the Daet Society of
Manila Imperialism, a coinage of
relatively recent vintage, refers to the
hegemonic power and exercise thereof,
by a Manila-centric and Manila-based
government. It is used derisively for
the perceived domineering acts and
attitudes displayed in, for instance, the
imposition of a policy or project which
tends to marginalize the provincianos.
A recent example of this is an LTFRB
memorandum circular which ban
provincial buses from entering EDSA and
an administrative order which imposes
PhP1-million fne for violating it.
Expectedly, because of its
discriminatory and punitive nature it reeks
of a class legislation which punishes the
poor, Bicolanos are up against it.
The LTFRB plan is defnitely ill-
advised, an example of bad planning,
and manifests power throwing its weight
around. To Bicol representatives in
Congress in their joint resolution, it
also lacks public consultation. In the
coming election season, it will also prove
disastrous to candidates of the PNoy
administration which is criticized for its
anti-poor policies.
We think the scheme is also a result
of a bureaucratic helplessness it cant
stop, a stop-gap solution to a complex
urbanization and development problem
which ugly head was shown just last
week the monstrous traffc at NLEX.
If the government wants to solve the
traffc problem, it should go back to its
development blueprint which continually
concentrates it in Metro Manila. We
know the centripetal effect of urban
development migration, higher crime
rate, traffc.
Banning provincianos from EDSA
recalls the title of a Tagalog movie: Iyo
ang Tondo, Akin ang Cavite.
O di sige na, sainda na an Manila. It is
also time now for us to seriously think of
an autonomous Bicol region.
campaigns overseas. The trip will
start on September 13 but it is not
certain if the chief executive will be
present in all schedules of the 12-
day investment road show. The trip
organizers say they are targeting big
funds and big project proponents.
Over 30 PPP pipeline projects need
investors, funders and contractors.
These are toll ways, rail lines,
seaports and airports.
SIN TAXES: It looks like the
objective of the Sin Tax Law in
raising government revenues is
being achieved. DOF expects P5.5B
windfall this month in the collection of
taxes from sale of tobacco products
and alcoholic drinks. But the health
objective of convincing people to
stop smoking by raising consumption
costs is not being attained. Even with
the costly tags of cigarettes, tobacco
sales are almost just at par as those
of previous years.
Data from BIR showed that excise
tax collections from tobacco and
alcoholic products reached P45.99
billion during the frst semester of
2014. This is almost 32% higher
than the P35B goal. For June 2014
alone, sin tax revenues were higher
by 30%, compared with the P35.5
billion collections in the same period
last year. The LGU benefciaries are
intended to be expanded, beyond
the provinces originally classifed as
tobacco-growing localities.
QUOTATION: Two ways of getting
up in this world: thru our own industry,
or by the stupidity of others.
(PICPA past president and Hall-
of-Famer, and ACPAPP Lifetime
Achievement Awardee).
INV. UPGRADES: Phl has secured
another investment upgrade status,
this time from a Korean Rating Agency
the National Information and Credit
Evaluation (NICE) Ratings, Inc. The
latest upgrade by NICE Ratings is
anchored on its assessment that the
Philippines is seen poised to sustain the
nations economic gains it has achieved
over the last few years. The new Korean
rating gave Phl an investment grade of
BBB- with a positive outlook.
The rating agency said the Phl
outlook refects the improved growth
potential backed by institutional reforms
and greater investment infrastructure.
The Korean institutions upgrade
decision joins other major international
ratings agencies: Fitch Ratings,
Japan Credit Rating Agency, Moodys
Investors Service, R&I and Standards
and Poors. All of them say that the
Philippines is now an investment grade
nation. Hurray!
SECURITY BANK: I have something
in common with Miss World 2013 Megan
Young! I am not referring to beauty (he
he he). Both of us are valued clients of
Security Bank. Our bank was chosen
by the ACQ Magazine as Bank of the
Year for 2013. The ranking is based
on a Tier 1 capital which indicates an
equity growth of 26.22%. In the last

EDITORIAL
Time Now for an
Autonomous Bicol Region
Art Enthusiasts, said in a
press release that it hopes
to interrogate and show
the vision of the visual
artist for the region in the
future, majority of the
works did not really show
a futuristic visual glimpse
of Bicol.
What the Salingoy
group also proclaimed in
their Rokyaw exhibit are
works that in the words
of Picasso are meant to
adorn apartments. In
short, they are mostly
decorative.
Nothing wrong with that
of course, but art works
are also cultural products
and in the case therefore
of the works exhibited,
they showed and
perpetuate an aesthetic of
commodifcation. Art is just
for display, for bestowing
status of having taste in art.
This state of things show
that local visual artists are
like the proverbial three
monkeys who see nothing,
hear nothing and smell
nothing.
They see nothing so
Mayon is still perfect
coned. They hear nothing
of the grumbling of the
empty stomach and of the
farmers, so their harvest
is still aplenty and the
blessings of the land is
still bountiful. They smell
nothing, even if Balatas
on rainy days reminds
one of Payatas, or even
if foliar sprays supposed
to be for farmers, only
fertilized the pockets of
local government offcials
who jacked their prices up
past the sky. In this way,
local artists are complicit
with the state of poverty
of the region, not only in
material goods, but even
in the riches of the spirit,
as another Jesuit, Fr.
Horacio de la Costa puts
it.
It is time therefore
that local visual artists
be engaged with the
current Bicol situation. Art
should not be a tool for
perpetuating economic
and cultural poverty. Only
when local artists will
question the status quo,
their own art practice and
expression, will their art
matter to the life of the
region. Otherwise, theirs
will only be art that is
mimetic and as we are
wont to say in Bicol, suhay
sa hawak.

Business Behind Bus Ban: Gov. Salceda
MAYOR and MRS. TITO S. SARION
By FRANK PENONES JR.
LEGAZPI CITY - Interest groups are behind the
move to ban provincial buses from entering Metro
Manila, the chairman of the Regional Development
Council (RDC) bared here over the weekend.
RDC RECOGNITION
FPJ
For bringing honor to the region for having been chosen
as the Most Competitive town in the country, and the third
among cities; the Regional Development Council chaired
by Gov. Joey Salceda, presented plaques of recognition to
Daet, represented by Mayor Tito S. Sarion and Naga City,
represented by City Planner Willy Prilles during the Full
Council meeting of the RDC last week.
There are business inter-
ests lobbying for the imple-
mentation of the LTFRB
order designating common
bus terminal in Alabang as
the endpoint for provincial
buses, Albay Governor and
RDC Chair Joey S. Salceda
said.
Salceda, an economist,
said that Alabang is just a
transit point where provincial
commuters do not normally
get off.
By requiring the more
than half-a-million provin-
cial bus riders from getting
off at the common terminal
there, passenger traffc will
be created and we know this
is what gives birth to malls
and condominium develop-
ments, he explained.
He said that the develop-
ers of these malls, condomin-
iums and housing projects are
the people behind the LTFRB
Memorandum Circular No.
2014-15 and Joint Admin-
istrative Order No. 2014-01
which prohibits provincial
buses from entering the Epi-
fanio de los Santos Avenue or
EDSA, a main road artery of
the whole of Metro Manila.
The circular designates
the South Station in Alabang
as the end point for public
utility buses coming from
Southern Luzon, Bicol and
the Visayas.
On the other hand, the
administrative order im-
poses fnes and penalties
for violators of the LTFRB
regulations, which Salceda
described as insane and anti-
poor.
The PhP1-million fne,
according to Salceda, is indi-
rectly a fne on ordinary com-
muters.
Kung sino pa ang deha-
do, siya pang inaagrabyado
(those at a disadvantaged are
the ones being penalized),
Salceda complained, noting
that most of the provincial
commuters are poor or small-
scale business entrepreneurs.
During the RDC Full
Council meeting, the Council
also added its voice to the op-
positors of the LTFRB order.

Living in Iriga City
I never repented coming home to Iriga after having had
stayed in the city for over three decades. I think I made the
right decision to raise my grandchildren here. Iriga is safe es-
pecially for growing children. I raised my own son (the father
of my three grandchildren who live with me in Iriga with their
mother) in the city and I do not like to experience once more the
experiences I went through. About three decades ago, Manila
was not as dangerous as it is now but whenever my son was
still out of the house I cannot contain myself. I kept wondering
where he could be and the cellphones were not as common
as it is today when one can get in touch easily especially with
children who are not yet home. I had a cellphone alright. I
remember my analog but my son did not have one. So, my cell-
phones did not have much use. The only thing that kept me at
ease then was was pray that my son be safe wherever he was
and most of time, he was with friendshigh school classmates
and later college buddies.
Metro Manila in the 80s did not have kidnaps and holdups
as they are happening daily today.. Drug addiction was not as
rampant as it is now. There were no motorcycle riders in tan-
dem. There were few cases of rapes. The CCTV cameras were
not necessary then.
But living in Manila was not exactly very safe. So, I thank
God I am in Iriga now. It is peaceful although lately, there had
been several victims of the notorious budol-budol gang. But
maybe the victims of these con artists have also themselves to
be blamed. They are much too trusting.
What is very widely happening are motorcycle accidents
with young persons as victims. Motorcycles abound in Iriga by
the thousands. This means of transportation is very common.
Sometimes I see three persons riding in a motorcycle, some-
times with small kids in tow. Some do not have helmets. I know
some are minors and expectedly, they do not have license or
even a student permit. And my, they drive fast.
At any rate, Iriga is still a very safe place to live in. Whenev-
er my two teenage grandsons are not yet home, I know exactly
where they are. Their favorite joint is Lid Force, a computer
shop downtown where the patrons of the shop are all busy
playing dota. Well.

City and Camarines Sur as
the Pilgrimage Capital of the
Philippines on Sept. 10, 2010
with the issuance of Procla-
mation No. 33.
Naga City Mayor John
Bongat has formally reacti-
vated the operation center of
the Inter-Agency Task Group
for the Peafrancia Fiesta
and asked representatives of
member-agencies, including
uniformed personnel, to help
maintain the religiosity of
and encourage deeper devo-
tion to Ina during the nine-
day festa.
Composed of government
agencies, civil groups and
the Catholic Church here,
the task group was created
to handle the celebration of
tercentenary devotion to Ina
in 2010 for the devotion to
thrive from its original devo-
tees of locals called cimar-
rones in 1710 to devotees
outside of Bicol and country
at present times.
Member-agencies are the
regional disaster risk reduc-
tion council, the 9th Infantry
Spear Division, Philip-
pine National Police, Philip-
pine Navy, Philippine Coast
Guard, Philippine Air Force,
Bureau of Fire Protection,
Land Transportation Offce,
Highway Patrol Group, De-
partment of Health, Bicol

erative, Department of Pub-
lic Works and Highways,
Kapisanan ng mga Brokaster

com, the local government of
Naga City and the Archdio-
cese of Caceres.
The Peafrancia festa
is also celebrated outside of
Naga City and several coun-
tries around the world where
NAGA GEARS UP FOR PEAFRANCIA FEST . . .
Bicolano communities are
present, Bongat said, adding
Peafrancia festa is a unify-
ing factor for us Bicolanos.
Joselito Del Rosario,
chief of Public Safety Offce
of Naga City, said the task
group, based inside the com-
pound of the Bishops Resi-
dence, will ensure orderly
and peaceful conduct of the
religious celebration, includ-
ing security, safety and medi-
cal concerns.
Del Rosario said the task
groups members-agencies
will do extensive coordina-
tion and complementation
of each others resources for
the achievement of activities
and enhancement of security
and safety of the Peafrancia
festa.
He said the task group will
specifcally closely monitor
the festa events, anticipate
different contingencies and
eventualities, and be always
ready for the speedy resolu-
tion all problems occurring in
the festivities.
Brigadier Gen. Felix Cas-
tro Jr., representing the 9th
Infantry Spear Division,
committed 600 soldiers de-
ployed during the festivities,
including other resources
like a helicopter to cover the
events.
Senior Supt. Arnold Albis,
PNP representative, commit-
ted 600 police personnel, in
addition to the 150 police of-
fcers of the Naga City Police
Offce, and 12 patrol vehicles
in the entrances and exits
to the city, from Sept. 11 to
Sept. 22.
Most Rev. Rolando Tria
Tirona, OCD, DD, Archbish-
op of Caceres, who will lead
the celebration for the second
time since he was installed
archbishop in 2012, said he
was awed by the celebra-
tion which is so organized in
the way the Peafrancia festa
is done.
For my frst celebration
of the Peafrancia festa, I
remember being so over-
whelmed by so many people,
people from different places
and agencies, which I have
never encountered in other
dioceses where we also have
festa, Tirona proudly re-
marked.
The Church head said
what he witnessed here dur-
ing the religious festa shows
the magnitude and impor-
tance of the festa of the Our
Lady of Peafrancia, like the
celebration of the feast of the
Black Nazarene in Quiapo,
Manila.
Tirona said the task force
must offer to the devotees
of Ina the memorable ex-
perience who come to Naga
City with religious inten-
tion and spirit, and some of
them carrying heavy loads
in their lives, and petition
for healing.
The coming together of
different agencies must make
all visitors in this landlocked
city secured and safe and
make their stay memorable
as they express their faith and
love for the Ina.- PNA

Iba, Zambales. At Bacolod
City, they were the Batang
Pinoy National Champi-
ons. Digoy Salando is the
person behind these win-
nings.
Preliminary to the 46th
Charter Foundation Day,
was the joint inauguration of
the Eyes in the City (read:
CCTV or Closed Circuit
Television) and the Iriga City
Portal Web.
The celebration was sim-
ple but are so much to re-
member it. Sans celebrities
like people from the cellu-
loid world, the spectators
enjoyed the event with the
localstalents in dancing
and singing. The majorettes
and bands, the drum and
lyre contingents were sights
for sore eyes.

proposed by the Provincial
Program Management and
Implementing Unit (PP-
MIU) of CamarinesSur
under the I-REAP (Rural
Enterprises and Agriculture
and Fisheries Productivity)
component of the PRDP.
Hubilla added that Cen-
tral Bicol State University
of Agriculture (CBSUA)
will do a comprehensive
research on the technology
such as shelf life testing,
nutrient analysis, while the
DA Agribusiness and Mar-
keting Division (AMAD)
will be responsible for the
market study before its op-
eration will be fully com-
mercialized.
DA Regional Execu-
tive Director Abelardo R.
Bragas said this is just a
pilot testing to perfect the
technology before it will
be duplicated at the village
level by the PRDP program
beneficiaries. In copra pro-
duction, coco water is only
thrown away before the
white copra is taken from
the shell. This project will
turn the very otherwise
wasted cocowater into a
peso earner for the benefit
of the small coconut farm-
ers. This is in response to
President Aquinos direc-
tive that inclusive growth
should be felt even by the
poorest of the poor in the
rural areas.
Director Bragas also add-
ed that the facility will serve
as show window to coconut
producers to encourage
them to venture into coco-
water processing. He envi-
sions the DA regional office
to be the center for research
and technology generation
for the region. -- (Lovella P.
