These solemn and sacred duties of serv­ing and protecting the people are not exclusive to the government con­s ider·ing the limited funds and the vast multi-dimensional de­velo:pment concern of the people.

Cognizant to this limitation, the Consti­tution provides that the State shall encourage non-governm.ental, community-based, or sectoralorganizations that promote the wel­fare of the nation (Sec­tion 23, Article m.

This is how Projekt Mariphil through its Mariphil Children' s Village AtongPinuy-anan, Inc comes in action at Panabo City in cham­pioning children' s rights.

Its partnership with Local Government Unit - PanaboCity stems from its social response to the provi­s ions on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which was ratüied by the Philip­pines in August 21, 1990.

By ratifying the Convention (provi­sions), the Philippines became a state party which means that it is committed itself to un­dertake all appropriate measures to ensure that the child is pro-

tected. against all förms of discrimina­tion or punishment on the basis of the status, activities, ex­pressed opinions, or beliefs of the child' s parents, legal guard­ians, or family mem­bers.

Moreover, with the ratification, the country was en­trusted with the mis­sion to undertake all appropriate legisla­tive, administrative, and other mea.sures for the implementa­tion of the rights rec­ognized in the Conven­tion. With regard to economic, social and cultural rights, the Philippines shall un­dertake such meas­ures to the maximum extent of their avail­able resources and, where needed, within the framework of in­ternational co-opera­t i o n (~btgµ:.tam).

With the forego­ing, appreciative of the situation of the margi.nalized children in Panabo City, then Mayor Atty. Jose Silvosa sought the assistance of the Ger­man Mariphil Asso­ciation and the Fili­pino Mariphil Foun­dation in 2009 to have a collaborative development inter· vention to children in need of special protec-

tion whom without home· and parental care.

The German and Philippine MARIPHIL Foundations are both acknowledged as Non­profit and Non-stock Organizations and co­operate successfully regarding develop­ment aid since 1998. The Association oper­ates in the areas of Panabo City and Car­men in the region of Davao del No;rte, Mindanao. According to the slogan of the Association "Future for Children" it fo­cuses on the help for children in need es­pecially regarding the access to education (scholarships, school renovations, educa­tional programs etc.) and health care (fi­nancing of Opera­tions, provision of medicine etc.). Pres­ently, it has more than 200 indigent scholars within the area of Panabo and Carmen.

Other programs of the MARIPHIL As­sociation, for exam­ple a Rice Farmer's Cooperative, the pro­vision of solar pow­ered water tanks and the annual distribu­tion of rice during Christmas season aim to improve the general living Situa­tion of indigent peo-

ple in the prqject area. In September

2010, the Triparty Agreement regarding the .::onstruction and the operations of a children's village in Panabo City was inked. The Mariphil and the German Min­is try of Economic Corporation and De­v e lopment funded .. the construction of

. the facility and other related expenses in the a.mount of Twenty One Million (P2 l Million) more or less in 2011. In return, the City of Panabo shall subsi­dized the taking over running expenses for 15 years.

The Mariphil Children's Village was opened in 2012 and it was licensed and accredited in 2013 by the Department of Social Welfare and De­velopment Field Of­fice RO XIto operate as a welfare and de­ve lopment agency implementing resi­dential care services and programs to dis­advantaged children, youth and children in conflict with the law.

But prior to the AOM, the City of Pa.nabo through the incumbent Mayor James G. · Gamao pre-terminated its obligation and pulled out its support for 2015 to present.

The article quoted COA's observation say ing th.at the release of fund totaling toP4.44 M to the Mariphil Children's Village causes injury to the local government through loss and wastage of its money,

In deference to COA's observation, the Mariphil Children's Village posits that the subsidy of the City Government of Panabo does not constitute loss and wastage of money which caused injury to its coffer.

Said amount was utilized for public pur­pose - the provision of appropriate social serv­ices to children in need of special protection which is the pr~ordial role of the city gov­ernment of Panabo concretized by the Mariphil Children's Village.

The personnel of the Mariphil Children's Village are instrumental to the fulfillment of the pubHc purpose. The social services will only be felt by the children beneficiaries through the human capital managing and fa­cilitating the services.

This administrative cost as pointed out in the AOM is necessary or relevant in ad-vancing the public interest. ·

the truth ..... _· -----------------The Supreme Court of the

Philippines in the case of Ramon R. Yap vs. Commission Audit, GR No. 158562, April 23, 2010 elaborates the nature and mean­ing of the term public purpose, in relation to disbursement of public funds, to wit:

"As understood in the tra.­ditional sense, public purpose or public use means any purpose or use directly available to the general public as a matter of right. Thus, it has also been de­fined as an activity as will serve as benefit to [the) community as a body and which at the same time is directly related function of government.However, the con­cept of public use is not limited to traditional purposes. Here as elsewhere, the idea that public use is strictly limtted to clear cases of use by the public has been discarded. In "fact, this Court has already categorically stated that the term public pur­pose is not defined, since it is an elastic copcept that can be hammered to fit modern Stand­ards. It should be given a broad interpretation; therefore, it does not only pertain to those pur­poses that which are tradition­ally viewed as essentially gov­ernment functions, such as build-

ing roads and delivery of basic services, but also in­cludes those purposes de­signed to promote socialjus­tice.

Thus, public money may now be used for the relocation of illegal settlers, low-cost housing and urban or agrarian reform. In short, public use is now equated with public inter­est, and that it is not un­constitutional merely be­cause it incidentally ben­efits a 1imited number of persons."

Here, Mariphil Chil­dren's Village fulfills the mandate of the government which is to aid those chil­dren in need of special pro­tection. The village was able to provide shelter, psycho­social support, education, basic needs (Le clothing, food, medicine, etc) and nurturing environment to more than 100 physically / sexually abused, neglected, orphan and children in con­flict of the law, among others. These services are impressed with public inter­est, thus, fall within the ambit of public service ..

lt must be noted that the subsidy of the City Government represents approximately 30% of the total yearly expenses. lt is the German Mariphil Association and the Filipino Mariphil Asso­ciation that share the most. In this partnership, the obligation of the City Government of Panabo under the Triparty Agreement is advantageous and economical to the government.

As recipient of public funds, Mariphil Children's Village is mindful and conscious of this fundamental principle: "Public funds are the property of the peo­ple and must be used prudently . at all times with a view to pre­vent dissipation and waste".

Mariphil Children's Village hopes to shed light to the on­going issues pertaining to this undertaking entered into by the City Government of Panabo through its late Mayor Jose Silvosa.

lt belieyes that the City Gov­ernment of Panabo shall continue the partnership. It must act as parenspatriae to protect the chil­dren, who because of their cir­cumstances, are being prejudiced and discriminated.It is called upon to manifest an attitude of caring for the welfare of the marginalized children.

As to Mariphil Children's Village, its existence is meant to bring the marginalized youth into the folds as it affirms the vital role of the youth in nation build­ing (RA 8044).

Premises considered, it is undeniable that the funds from the City Government of Panaboreleased to Mariphil Chil­dren's Village were spent for pub­lic purpose. (Shyanne Halub, Di­rector. Mariphil Children's Vil­lage). a press release

turning point .... ___ _ One glaring exam.ple is the latest ges­

ture of former Davao City 1st district con­gressman Prospero "Boy" Nograles .who is now supportirig the presiden.tial aspiration of Mayor Rodrigo, a political nemesis for almost three decades.

But the political wind it seems is now blowing in the same direction. Nograles who is likewise endorsing party-list group Puwersa ng Bayaning Atleta (PBA) where another son Koko is a candidate, is deter­mined to join the political battle against the ruling Liberal Party CLP) in the forth­coming May presi<iential elections, or un­til a permanent leader will be elected to succeed the wa.ning President Noynoy Aquino.

The first thing to know about "Boy Nogie" Nogra.les aside from being the po­littcal archenemy of Duterte for severa.l yea.rs was his close association with the previous Arroyo administration.

The second thing to know is he served the Lower House for severa.l terms until elected as Speaker of the House, the first from Mindanao who a.chieved the fate - a Job which seemed better match to his po­litical temperament.

According to trends a.nd time pub­lisher-editor Kuya. Dennis Denora, Nograles just recently spoke to different groups in Sto tomas town and a. herd of reporters in Davao del Norte and enc;iorsed the candi­dacy of Duterte and the party-list PBA.

Rightly or wrongly, Boy Nogie who also has a. previous shabby reputation in dealing with his rivals seems now more · considerate by telling the people around him "to forget the past political spat" with Digong in order to fulfill the people's clamor for total change.

Nograles confidently believe that be~ cause of Duterte's tough and stringent stance against drugs, criminality, corrup­tion and extreme pove.rty and confronta­tional approach to politics, will make a nice contrast with his opponents' views notably LP standard bearer Mar Roxas, a power-obsessed and desperate pretender. ,~ ., ~~ii~::c:~~!{s!~~:~:::::"
