Office.

The turnover of command is set today, Wednesday, reports said.

Thee POLICE CHEIF of Kidapawan Cite inc luding

His deputy was relieved tuesday from their posts while investigation on their culpability during
the attack at the city jail last Sunday isongoing
Salinas was told that operations of the Kidapawan City police were slow in responded to the
attack at the city jail, even if the police

men on duty heard the blasts and the ensuing gunfire.

The jail is just few meters away from the police station

At the time of the incident is taking full responsibility for the killing of a nurse. But along with
her, she is taking the  City Police Office director to task as well.

, Mamburam was in General Santos City while Dillera was in his house.

"I arrived at the area. Provincial director (Cornelio) Salinas was just two minutes ahead of me. I came
from home, got wet by the rain, and was not feeling well at the time. Yet, I proceeded to the area
because I know that was part of my duty," Dillera said.

Dillera immediately ordered the dispatch of his men to areas believed to be the exit routes of the
suspects.

The pursuit operations lasted until the wee hours of the morning, he said.

Despite the pursuits, Salinas said none among the attackers was arrested.

The exit routes were dark and the attackers were able to blend immediately with the residents at
Barangay Nuangan and Indangan in Kidapawan City, two of the areas the authorities considered as
"haven of some armed lawless groups."

"Their tribes kept these men. The suspects had already blended with the people," Salinas said.

The Kidapawan City Peace and Order Council (CPOC), after an emergency meeting last Monday,
recommended the immediate transfer of Datukan Samad Lontoc, who is also known as Lastikman, and
15 other high-profile inmates at the city jail.
In a resolution, the CPOC, led by Mayor Rodolfo Gantuangco, has sought the transfer of Lastikman to
Bicutan jail in Taguig, Metro Manila.

"The Bicutan jail is a more secured place. With the minimal number of jail guards assigned at the facility,
it's imperative that Lastikman and other high-profile inmates be transferred to another place,"
Gantuangco said.

At that time of the attack, the facility has only three jail guards manning the security, the mayor said.

Despite the number, the guards, with their gallantry or courage, were able to drive the attackers away
from the facility, Salinas said.

Gantuangco said copies of the resolution they passed last Monday would be submitted to Justice
Secretary Leila de Lima and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo.

"The request is so immediate. We hope the National Government, including the Supreme Court, heed to
our call," the mayor said. At that time of the attack, the facility has only three jail guards manning the
security, the mayor said.

being hammed by the PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE as it embarks on a mass ive

plan to planted 10 million trees across the country starting this month until

February next year

PNP chief, director general nicanor a. bartolome said the noble program is aimed at

ensuring

that the next generation will beable to see more stourdy trees. “Hindi man

maabutan lahat ng punong ito during our lifetime, ’yung pagtubo nito nang buo,

para naman sa mga kabataan natin, he said. Bartolome yesterday expressed

optimism that their nationwide tree-planting program will help prevent

future environmental disasters which last year made the Philippines as country

hardest hit by natural calamities mostly blamed on wanton abuse of environment.

He cited the case of Police Officer 3 Randy de la Rea, a strong and active Cavite

policeman who saved dozens of lives after hauling them and his family to a

sturdy mango tree at the height of the deadly typhoon “Sendong” that devastated

Iligan City last December 17. If that single mango treesaved dozens of precious

lives, the PNP chief said millions of trees to be planted by the police nationwide

would save more by preventing disasters like flashfloods.

Gen. Bartolome said that as part of their own contribution to mitigate the effects

of climate changes  in the country, they will start this month their plan to plant 10

million trees around the Philippines until next year. He explained that if all 140,000

PNP members will plant 10 trees per month for seven months that would easily

translate to 9.8-million trees.

Bartolome said the project hopeds to surepass the 10-million mark with the

participation of families of PNP personel, force multipliers, PNP-accredited non

governmental organizations, local government units and citizen volunteers.

Ang soya ay tinatawagan na “versaatile bean” na halos makikita sa Asia. Ang soya ay makikita

sa Moy Milk, soy sauce, miso (soybean paste) tempeh (soy cake) at tokwa.Maganda sa buhay

ng tao, ano?

Marahil narinig niyo na mula sa TV o sa kahit anong klase ng media na ang soya ay mahusay

na panlaban sa mga sakit gaya ng sakit sa puso at cancer. Ano ba talaga ang soya?

Minsan, ang soyaay hina-halo sa tinapay, cereals at mga meat products, ginagawang

substitute meat ito sa mga produktong gaya ng soy burgers at soy hotdogs.

Ugaliingkumain ng mga pagkaing mayroong soya ay nakakasuya. Halimbawa nito ihalo ang soy

flour sa regular flour kung kayo ay magbi-bake o magpiprito ng isda. Hindi naman mahal ang

mga soya. Sa katunayan mabibili ito sa mababang halaga at available ito sa mga tindahan.

Ang mga Americans ay nakakain ng soya

dahil para sa kanila, mas nakakakuha silang mas maraming benefits mula rito. Ang soya kasi ay isang

source ng protein at mayroon itong ibang nutrients gaya ng iron at calcium. Ang mga pagkain na mayroong

soy protein ay mahusay na alternatibo sa pagkain ng mga karne at iba pang animal products na mayroong

cholesterol at saturated fat.

Ayon sa pag-aaral, ang pagkain ng soya ay maraming benefits na naibibigay sa ating katawan hindi

lamang panlaban sa mga sakit gaya ng cancer. Ang American Dietetic Association (ADA) at Food and

Drug Administration (FDA) ay nagsabi na ang pagkain na mayroong 25 to 50 grams ng soy protein kada

araw ay makakatulong upang mabawasan ang levels ng LDL cholesterol.

Ang LDL cholesterol ay bad cholesterol -- klase ng klase cholesterol na bumabarad sa ating bloodvessels

na nagiging sanhi para magkaroon tayo ng heart disease.

Sa unang tingin, tila normal lang ang lahat sa Masbate City.Kung ikukumpara natin sa nangyaring lindol sa

Negros nito lamang Pebrero, hindi gaano katindi ang naging pinsala rito sa Masbate pero may ilan ding

nasugatan at maraming gusali ang nagtamo ng mga structural damage.Pero sa mga pader ng mga gusali

makikita ang bakas ng 5.2 magnitude na lindol na tumama 7:06 a.m. kanina.

Sa mga kuha ng cctv camera na ibinigay sa abs-cbn, makikita na segundo lamang ang itinagal ng lindol

pero naging masama at malakas ang pag yanig.

Matapos mag-fluctuate ang kuryente, kumakakalat na ang mga paninda.

Sa tala ng Philippine Red Cross,siyam ang nasugatan sa nangyaring lindol pero sampu naman ang bilang

ng lokal na pamahalaan.

Halos lahat sa mga ito ay labas na sa ospital dahil minor injured lamang ang kanilang tatamo.

Ayon sa alkalde ng Masbate na si MAYOR SOCRATES TUASON, hindi pa nila masasabi kung anu ang

halaga ng naging pinsala sa Masbate city dahil patuloy pa rin ang kanilang ginagawang assesment at
