Sta.

Nabanggit ko si Genio gawa nang kasama ko dito yung mga nag-aalaga ng ating     kapayapaan, si Admiral Danga, ang bait-bait na admiral na nandito yung commander ng     WestCom at saka si General Genio na nga ng pulis at lahat ng kasama nilang mga sundalo,     navy men, marines at air force pilot at policemen binabati ko lahat sila. At binabati ko     rin ang mga tagarito sa barangay Sta. Lourdes, malaking karangalan nakaabot ako dito para     makita itong napakagandang landfill, engineered sanitary landfill na 1992 pa pala     pinaplano na ni Mayor Hagedorn, napaka-forward looking ang ating punong-lungsod.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Sabi nga ni mayor, dala-dala ko ang napaka-importanteng mga Cabinet members dito. Mga     Cabinet members na kinakailangan para sa patuloy na pag-develop ng Puerto Princesa. Kung     sa pag-develop lamang laban sa kahirapan kayang-kaya yon ni Mayor Hagedorn, pero gusto     natin mas importante pa kaysa sa paglaban sa kahirapan ng Puerto Princesa. Si Mayor     Hagedorn ay hindi lamang punong-lungsod ng Puerto Princesa, siya ang chairman ng City     Mayors League, siya ang member... Siya ang member of the Board ng Union of Local     Authorities of the Philippines at siya ang kumakatawan sa Union of Local Authorities     bilang pangulo o namumuno ng task force natin kontra sa jueteng gaya nang sinasabi niya.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Sabi nga ni mayor na ako ay isang... Hindi ko makokonsyensiyang iiwanan sa mga susunod na     henerasyon ang mga problemang namana ko. At gaya nga nang sabi ni mayor, itong isyu ng     jueteng ay dinesisyon kong harapin sa minsanan. Pero para maharap iyon, sa loob ko sabi ko     noon, "papano ko gagawin ito, panahon pa ng mga kastila walang nakakaayos ng     problemang ito." Hindi ko magagawa kung hindi ko mahahanap ang isang makakatulong sa     akin. At nakita ko si Mayor Hagedorn, aminadong noong araw nandoon siya sa industriyang     iyon pero napigil niya. Very successful. So, sabi ko, "Ed, kung ano yung ginawa mo sa     Puerto Princesa, puwede bang gawin mo sa ngalan ng local authorities para sa buong bansa.     Tulungan mo ako." At buong puso namang tinanggap niya yung aking hiling.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Ngayon, pinag-aralan niya yung buong problema dahil nagawa niya rito, pero siyempre sabi     niya iba naman yung buong bansa. So noong pinag-aaralan niya at pinag-uusapan namin, sabi     niya, dalawa yang aspetong yan -- hindi lang dalawa, tatlo pa nga -- nandoon yung     enforcement, nandoon yung amelioration ng mawawalaan ng trabaho at nandoon yung pagpalit     ng kultura.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Ngayon yung enforcement, yon naman ang papel ng Philippine National Police. Kaya dala-dala     ko si Undersecretary Marius Corpus dito para iyon na nga ay klaruhin natin ang papel ng     DILG at saka ng pulis, si General Genio dahil ayon sa batas ang talagang namumuno sa     paglaban sa jueteng ay ang local government, ang national agencies ay mga tumutulong sa     mga local government. Kaya ang pulis ay narito para tumulong sa local government. Kaya ang     Philippine National Police ay narito para tumulong kay Mayor Hagedorn, na kumakatawan sa     mga local government.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Eh sabi nga ni mayor, hindi lang enforcement, kasi makaka-enforce ka kung nawalaan naman     ng trabaho yung napakarami. Mawawala nga ang jueteng, susugod naman yung ibang mga krimen,     baka drugs pa nga mas grabe pa. Kaya mayroon dapat social amelioration program, sabi ni     mayor. So, sabi ko, "Ed, eh di ikaw ang maghanap ng social amelioration     program." At ang ginawa nga ni Ed ay tinignan niya lahat ng iba't-ibang ahensiya na     baka puwedeng makatulong. Tinignan niya yung PAGCOR, tinignan niya yung DSWD, tinignan     niya yung PCSO at sana rin -- sino pa? -- TESDA, tinignan niya. Ah siya na rin ang pumili     kung sino ang mayroon pati bureaucratic capacity na madaliang masagot ang problema ng     social amelioration. Kaya ano ang papel ng PCSO -- at si Mike Defensor naman na aking     Chief of Staff ay siya ang nag o-oversee sa PCSO -- ano ang papel nila? Katulong din nila,     sila ng local government sa social amelioration aspect. Pero ang namumuno pa rin mga local     governments na kinakatawan ni City Mayor Hagedorn bilang pinuno nitong task force na ito.     Kaya PNP, PCSO katulong ng mga local governments na kinakatawan ni Mayor Hagedorn. Yan ang     papel nila.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Yung pangatlo, mapalitan ang kultura ng pagsusugal. Yan naman ang long-term at kailangan     natin ilagay yan sa ating edukasyon, sa ating mga simbahan, sa ating mga parishes. So, ito     ay hindi lamang papel ng pamahalaan, papel ito ng buong pamayanan. At inaasahan ko rin na     si Mayor Hagedorn din ang tutulong sa atin kung papano mabuo ang mga programa para sa     ganun mapalitan na ng pangmatagalan yung kultura ng pagsusugal, di ba mayor?&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Kaya sabi ko, si Mayor Hagedorn ay hindi lamang mayor ng lungsod ng Puerto Princesa, siya     ay isang kumakatawan sa local governments sa mga napakaimportanteng programang pambansa.     So siya ang mayor hindi panglungsod, mayor pambansa. Kaya dala-dala ko ngayon sa kanyang     imbitasyon ang mga importanteng kinatawan ng mga ahensiya ng pamahalaan na makakatulong na     maging espesyal ang Puerto Princesa sa ating bansa. Gaya nang sabi ko, kung kahirapan     lamang kaya ni mayor malutas ang kahirapan. Ano ang espesyal sa Puerto Princesa? Ang pagka     espesyal ng Puerto Princesa gaya nang sinasabi nating Central Philippines: Visayas,     Palawan, Romblon, Bicol, Northern Mindanao islands ay ang turismo. Yon ang magiging...     Doon magiging espesyal ang lungsod ng Puerto Princesa.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Kaya dala-dala ko ngayon si Secretary Ace Durano ng Tourism. At ewan ko kung maiiwan ko     siya ngayon para pumunta sa sabang, pero kung hindi ko siya maiwan ngayon para pumunta ng     sabang, isigurado mo, Ace na bumalik ka para makapunta ka doon. At bakit hindi pa siya     nakakapunta? Kasi mahirap ang kalsada, kaya kailangan ayusin natin ang kalsada. Kaya kaupo     namin si Jun Ebdane kanina sa kotse mula sa airport gawa nang nag-uusap kami ng official     business. At si Secretary Ebdane ang gagawin niya ay magtu-turn over siya ng initial 50     million pesos sa City of Puerto Princesa para sa kalsada hanggang sa Sabang. Ngayon     mayroong kalsada pero kung magla-landing pa sa manila ay baka tatamarin na yung turista.     So, kailangan ng international airport gaya nang sabi ni mayor.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Kaya dala-dala ko si Secretary Mendoza ng DOTC. Dalawa ang gagawin natin -- yung     pangmabilisan at pangmatagalan. So, yung pangmabilisan ay aayusin mo yung terminal, larry.     At aayusin niya yung terminal, gagastos siya ng 30 million pesos para maganda yung     terminal ng Puerto Princesa. Yung pangmatagalan naman na kailangan bilyon-bilyon ang     gastos ng airport, milyon- milyon naman ang feasibility study. At rinereport ni Larry     Mendoza -- kasama ko siya sa eroplano kanina because we also talked official business --     at ginagawa na ng Louie Burger, isang napakakilalang consultant. Actually, noong ako ay     nasa DTI ang Louie Burger ang gumawa ng Cagayan de Oro-Iligan corridor master plan. Tignan     niyo ang laki ng kaunlaran ngayon sa Cagayan de Oro-Iligan corridor. Sila ang gumagawa ng     master plan ng airport. Kailan matatapos, Larry? April 30 matatapos na ang kanilang     feasibility study.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    At ito ay ipapasok natin sa Asian Development Bank para mapondohan niya yung     bilyong-bilyong pangangailangan para sa pangmatagalang pag-develop ng ating international     airport. Bakit ko espesyal na ginagawa ito? Eh siyempre, mayor ng lungsod si Mayor     Hagedorn pero tumutulong sa buong bansa, tumutulong sa akin. Di ko naman siya     sinesuwelduhan, gawa ng ayon sa ating konstitusyon kung local government ka hindi ka     puwedeng maging national government official. Kaya por la patria ginagawa ni Mayor     Hagedorn yung kanyang pagpamuno sa Anti-Jueteng Task Force, for free representing the     local government. Kaya papaano natin siya babayaran, sa pamamagitan lamang ng matupad ang     kanyang mga panaginip sa kanyang mga minamahal na mamamayan ng Puerto Princesa.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Kaya eto na mayroon na tayong dahilan kung bakit nandito silang lahat, di ba? Si Mike     Defensor, unang binanggit ko; si Ace Durano, pangalawang binanggit ko; si Jun Ebdane,     pangatlong binaggit ko; si Larry Mendoza, pang-apat na binanggit ko dahil sila lahat ang     magsusukli sa Puerto Princesa ng ginagawa ni Mayor Hagedorn sa buong bansa.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    Mabuhay! Puerto Princesa.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;h3 align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;PIA Press Release&lt;br /&gt;04/01/2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;PGMA tags Hagedorn as "Mayor Pambansa"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;PUERTO PRINCESA CITY (1 April) -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo tagged City Mayor Edward Hagedorn not only as the city's mayor but as "Mayor Pambansa" for the huge part the Mayor played in local government leadership and also in solving the jueteng problem in the country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;She said this in an informal speech delivered at a short program at the inauguration of the Puerto Princesa Sanitary Landfill at Bgy. Sta. Lourdes this morning. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;The President said that the additional tasks of jueteng czar took the Mayor out of the city most of the time and this she said deserves special treatment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;The President said that she is helping the Mayor in return for the Mayor's help and acceptance as head of the Jueteng Task Force which has come up with the recommendations on "social amelioration" which her administration is taking seriously. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;Part of the special treatment package of the President for the city is the immediate release of the P50 million for the improvement of the Bahile-Sabang national highway. The improvement of this stretch of the national highway will ease the land travel to the famous World Heritage Site of the St. Paul Subterranean River or the Underground River. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;The President also ordered the release of P30 million for the rehabilitation of the Puerto Princesa City Airport Terminal. He ordered DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza to facilitate the release of funds to make the airport terminal at par with international standards for the incoming tourists visiting the province and the city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;For the long term, the President also instructed the DOTC Secretary to expedite the formulation of a masterplan for the airport which shall be submitted to the Asian Development Bank for possible funding. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;In an interview, the DOTC Secretary said that his department will also look into the improvement of the Busuanga Airport in Northern Palawan which is also a top tourist destination in the province. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;The President visited the city this morning to inaugurate the Puerto Princesa Sanitary Landfill complex and the Palawan North Road project, both funded and assisted by the Asian Development Bank. (PIA Palawan)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/philippine.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/philippine.html" target="_blank"&gt;Arroyo Appoints Hagedorn Anti-Gambling advisor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/philippine.html" target="_blank"&gt;Philippine &lt;/a&gt;President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Thursday named a new head of task force against illegal gambling as she is facing charges that her family was involved in the illegal number game called jueteng here, said officials at the presidential palace. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Arroyo named Palawan Mayor Edward Hagedorn as the country's new "anti-jueteng czar." Hagedorn will head the task force that has been created to eradicate the jueteng illegal numbers game. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The president made the announcement during a mass oath-taking and awarding ceremonies in Malacanang presidential palace Thursday, said officials. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Arroyo's husband Jose Miguel Arroyo and her son Pampanga Congressman Juan Miguel Arroyo left the country Wednesday night amid allegations that they were receiving jueteng payoffs. A younger brother of the first gentleman, Negros Accidental House Representative Ignacio Arroyo is also accused of having got protection money from jueteng. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; All of them have denied the accusations, but the first gentleman and younger Arroyo have decided to stay away to allow the president to perform her duties. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; On Wednesday, Arroyo appointed Court of Appeals Presiding Justice Romeo Brawner as Commission on Elections commissioner to replace former commissioner Virgilio Garcillano, with whom Arroyo allegedly made a telephone conversation during last year's presidential election, causing accusation by the opposition that she cheated in the election. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Arroyo said that Brawner and Hagedorn's appointments were "very important in our quest for reforms," according to her spokesman Ignacio Bunye. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Source: Xinhua&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32647924-115545627105175443?l=mayorpambansa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mayorpambansa.blogspot.com/feeds/115545627105175443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32647924&amp;postID=115545627105175443' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32647924/posts/default/115545627105175443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32647924/posts/default/115545627105175443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mayorpambansa.blogspot.com/2006/08/mayor-pambansa.html' title='Mayor Pambansa'/><author><name>PuertoPrincesaVoice</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08102227972119150358</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/95/213748124_c582a0dc89_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
