Barangay Captain accuser cries harassment
Days after she filed a graft case against Quezon City Barangay Kaligayahan Chairman Alfredo “Freddy” Roxas, threats that something bad would happen to her flooded her mobile phone and social media account. Aljean Abe, the village’s former teaching aide went to the Office of the Ombudsman on Friday to file another Grave Coercion charge against Roxas in relation to Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. Abe in her complaint furnished to DAILY TRIBUNE narrated that when she filed the graft charges last 11 September, several messages were sent to her cellular phone by supporters of Roxas threatening to do harm to her. Abe averred that the threat messages came from Mark Roldan Santiago Sedilla and Jennilyn Guiling Montefalco both employees of Barangay Kaligayahan and avid supporters of Roxas who is also an honorary councilor for being the president of League of Barangay Chairmen in the city. Fearing for her life and her family, Abe decided to transfer to a place where Roxas and his supporters could not reach her. However, the following day (12 September) she was surprised to see their barangay vehicle parked in front of her new address where Melanie Aviguetero, Jamaica Jallorica and an unidentified man tried to take photos of her. The three are also employees of Barangay Kaligayahan, according to Abe, who informed her that she needed to go to their office and talk to Roxas. Two days after (14 September) Abe said she received a text message asking why she filed a graft case against Roxas. She was also asked if she needed monetary assistance from their barangay and if she wanted to be hired again as barangay worker. If she agrees, she needs to go to their barangay to sign a contract and some documents in front of a lawyer. These things, Abe said prompted her to file the grave coercion charges against Roxas.

Abe, and another barangay worker, Hernando Compedio filed charges of violating the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act against Roxas a couple of weeks ago upon learning that their names were still included in the barangay payroll list even after they had already been fired and resigned from their jobs. Other charges of graft practices were also filed by Barangay Kaligayahan Kagawad laban kay Punong Barangay Allan Francisco Jr. against Roxas over a resolution passed without the proper barangay council session. Roxas meanwhile, could not be reached to comment on the charges hurled against him.

Woody Allen would film in NY again if ‘some foolish person’ funds it
Despite being effectively barred from the US film industry, Woody Allen said Monday that he has an idea for a New York film ready to go "if some foolish person" agrees to finance it. Allen was speaking at the Venice Film Festival, where his 50th movie, "Coup de Chance", was about to premiere in the out-of-competition section. It is his first film entirely in a foreign language, having been shot with French actors in Paris. The 87-year-old director told reporters it was "very simple" working in French. "I could tell by the body language and the emotion of the actors without understanding the language when they were being realistic and when they weren't." The film was originally meant to be about Americans in Paris, but he changed his mind. "I thought to myself: It's my 50th film and I love Paris so much that I'll make it in French... And then I could think I'm a genuine European filmmaker," he said. Asked whether he would work in his native New York again, Allen said he already had a "great idea" for a film in the city. "If some guy steps out of the shadows and says we'll finance your film in New York and obey all my terrible strictures -- they can't read the script, they can't know who's in it, they just give me the money and go away -- if some foolish person agrees to that, I'll make a film in New York," he said. "Coup de Chance" ("Stroke of Luck") fits in the classic Allen mould -- a light-hearted dissection of love and infidelity with a beautiful woman at its centre. Allen is blackballed by much of Hollywood due to allegations he molested his adopted daughter in the 1990s, which he says were fabricated by his ex-partner Mia Farrow. But he said he had always been "very, very lucky" in his life and career. "I hope it holds out," he added. "Of course it's early in the afternoon so we'll see..."

Key events in the war in Ukraine
From the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February last year to the armed rebellion Saturday of the pro-Kremlin Wagner paramilitary group, here is a timeline of the main events. The biggest attack on a European country since World War II has killed or wounded over 150,000 people, according to Western estimates. February 2022: invasion Russian President Vladimir Putin announces a "special military operation" in Ukraine on 24 February, saying he wants to demilitarise and "de-Nazify" the country as well as protect the predominantly Russian-speaking east from "genocide". A full-scale invasion starts, with missile strikes on several Ukrainian cities that sparks a refugee crisis. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stays in the capital Kyiv to lead the resistance. The West imposes unprecedented sanctions on Russia and the European Union and United States send Ukraine weapons and aid. March: Russian advances Russian forces make gains in the south, seizing the city of Kherson, close to the Moscow-annexed Crimea peninsula. Russian forces also attempt to surround Kyiv and take Ukraine's second city of Kharkiv in the northeast but meet fierce resistance. A month into the fighting, Russia withdraws from the north to focus on the eastern industrial Donbas region, partly held by Moscow-backed separatists, along with the south. April: war crimes revealed In early April, AFP discovers the bodies of at least 20 civilians lying on a single street in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha -- the first of several grisly discoveries in towns that Russian forces had occupied which spark an international outcry and war crimes investigations. May: Mariupol falls On 21 May, Russia announces the fall of the southeastern port city of Mariupol, which had been relentlessly bombed, after the last Ukrainian troops holding out at a steelworks surrender. Sweden and Finland request membership of NATO, fearing they could be future targets of Russian aggression. June: Donbas battle rages In June, Russia takes the Donbas city of Severodonetsk after one of the bloodiest battles of the war, followed soon after by the neighbouring city of Lysychansk. July: gas supplies cut On 22 July, Kyiv and Moscow sign a deal to resume grain exports from Ukraine, in a bid to relieve a food crisis aggravated by Russia's blockade of the country's ports. Russian gas giant Gazprom slashes its supply to Europe through the Nord Stream pipeline, fuelling fears of gas shortages in Europe. August: battle for Bakhmut Kyiv launches a major offensive to retake Kherson as a bitter battle begins for the eastern town of Bakhmut, spearheaded on the Russian side by the Wagner mercenary group. Wagner claims to have wrested total control of Bakhmut in May. September: annexation Ukraine retakes hundreds of towns and villages in a lightning counter-offensive around Kharkiv. Putin launches a partial draft of 300,000 reservists, sparking an exodus of young Russian men of military age. On 30 September, he formally annexes the Ukrainian regions of Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. October: power supply hit On 8 October, an explosion causes major damage to a bridge linking Crimea to the Russian mainland -- a symbol of Moscow's annexation of the peninsula. Putin blames Ukrainian secret services for the attack. Russian forces retaliate with a barrage of strikes on energy infrastructure in Kyiv and other cities, leaving millions without power in what becomes its new modus operandi throughout the winter. November: retreat from Kherson On 9 November, Moscow orders its troops to retreat from Kherson in the face of advancing Ukrainian forces, marking a stunning defeat in one of the regions it annexed. Jubilant residents hail Ukrainian forces as liberators. December: Zelensky goes to Washington On 22 December, Zelensky visits Washington on his first overseas trip since the war began. He meets President Joe Biden and addresses Congress. January 2023: tanks on the way Russia suffers its biggest single loss of life since the invasion in a Ukrainian attack on a temporary base in the eastern town of Makiivka on 1 January. Moscow says 89 soldiers were killed in the hit. On 25 January, Germany finally agrees to send Ukraine some of its powerful Leopard tanks. The United States follows, announcing that it will provide 31 Abrams tanks. On 19 May, Biden authorises the delivery of F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv. In April, Ukraine also receives anti-missile Patriot defence systems from Washington. 6 June: dam destroyed A blast at the Kakhovka dam in Russian-annexed Crimea inundates vast areas of the Kherson region, forcing thousands to flee and sparking fears of an environmental disaster. Kyiv accuses Moscow of blowing up the dam on the Dnipro River, while Russia blames Ukraine. June: Ukraine counter-offensive A long-awaited Ukrainian counter-offensive begins, aided by the supply of Western arms, according to analysts. Russia brands it a failure but Kyiv says it has retaken several areas. 24 June: Wagner rebellion Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, leading a mutiny to bring down Moscow's top brass, says his fighters have captured the army HQ in Russia's Rostov-on-Don "without firing a single shot" and claims to have the support of locals. Putin warns that treason against his rule threatens Russia with civil war and accuses the Wagner boss of a "stab in the back".

Relocating the seat of BARMM
It was an idea long awaited. Past Moro leaders of note had toyed with it but it remained just that — an idea. It never saw the light of day nor was it transmuted into fiat. Until recently when the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARMM took the bull by the horns to legislate it into law. It was no mean feat considering the political dynamics of the region. The problem of selecting the seat of the autonomous government had been a long drawn-out issue. It was a problem of President E. Marcos Sr.’s version of the autonomous government down to the present BARMM. It was a ticklish issue because of the multi-tribal identities of the stakeholders who would be affected. Distance and easy accessibility to the seat of power were essential elements in the choice of venue. Unfortunately, the topography of the BARMM is not contiguous but separated by water. The residents are dichotomized into, for lack of a better term, the “mainlanders” for residents of Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur and the “islanders” for residents of the so-called BASULTA (Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi) islands. In fact, this geographical oddity was one of the main reasons the Marcos Sr. administration had to separate the autonomous government into Autonomous Government for Central Mindanao and another for Western Mindanao. The center of government of the former was Cotabato City, while for the latter it was Zamboanga City. Not that they could not co-exist harmoniously, after all, they were part of Ummah Islamiya or the Islamic community. But it was more for convenience and the practical reason for effective governance. With the BARMM replacing the defunct autonomous governments, Cotabato City became the de facto seat of government without any formal executive or legislative decree. The principal reason for this was the availability of government buildings and other infrastructure needed by the regional government. Since then, proposal after proposal were drawn up to search for a permanent administrative seat of the autonomous government. Until recently, when it was finally decided and legislated that it would be in the coastal town of Parang, Maguindanao del Norte. Some gadflies, however, raised their eyebrows. The selected venue, by accident or design, is the home base of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, which now dominates the leadership of the BARMM. Did this move bear the stamp of the consent of the “islander” residents of BARMM? This column fully agrees with the relocation site. The reason is not only because of its convenient accessibility to the Maranaws of Lanao del Sur but the decision was a product of study, planning, and consultation among stakeholders. Parang is a coastal town in the northern part of Mindanao which borders Lanao del Sur. It is traditionally a fishing community whose progress was propelled more by the logging industry because of its thick virgin rainforest. Its mountain ranges with huge forests were the reason why Camp Abubakar, the main military camp of the MILF, is nestled thereat. When this writer was the Speaker of the Regional Assembly of then President Marcos’ version of the autonomous government, we frequented the place because of its mini golf course constructed by the Philippine National Police within its regional center. There are negligible murmurs of displeasure over the BARMM decision. And these come from the unrepentant opposition who cannot see anything right in everything the BARMM does. They had even questioned the constitutionality of creating the BARMM. In this case, however, any discordant voices against the move are sure to be drowned out by the merits and popularity of the decision. There will always be naysayers and gadflies. But what counts is that due process as an essential element of a representative democratic government was observed. Meaning, the legislative protocol of consultation was observed giving everyone their “day in court.” What remains to be debated is: whether or not the town of Parang is ready for the challenge and the toll the transfer will exact upon the peace and social life of the residents. Whatever it lacks in terms of infrastructure will be filled in by the BARMM government. And we anticipate the transformation of the once laid-back town into a city. amb_mac_lanto@yahoo.com The post Relocating the seat of BARMM appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
