interest payments that would take years to pay off, if you are only mak-ing minimum payments.

Unfortunately, many people do not fi le bankruptcy because of misin-formation. One of the most common questions people ask when contem-plating bankruptcy is “will I lose my home?” However, in today’s economy, where few people actually have much equity, the answer is NO!

The bankruptcy trustee will fi rst determine whether your home has equity, and how much. This involves determining the current market val-ue of the home, and subtracting the pay off amount, cost of sale, and any liens. If the equity is below specifi c homestead exemptions, you keep your home provided of course, you stay current on your monthly mort-gage payments.

The general rule of thumb is that if you continue to make your payments on time, the lender prefers that you stay in your house. Mortgage lenders, contrary to popular belief, are not anxious to foreclose on a property. It means a loss to them, as they will have to spend money holding the property and preparing it for resale.

Bankruptcy is also helpful if you are seriously behind on mortgage payments. IT will stop a foreclosure in its tracks, and through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, provide you with a plan to amortize mortgage arrearag-es over a 5 year period.

In bankruptcy, there are exemp-tions, which render certain property outside the reach of bankruptcy. State law provides that the debtor be allowed to keep personal property up to a certain amount, for instance. If the debtor avails himself or herself of an exemption, that property cannot be used by the bankruptcy court to pay creditors.

Specifi c exemptions are provided through both federal and state law that enable most people to keep their home, since these exemptions usually exceed the home’s equity in today’s real estate market.

Chapter 7 & 13There are several types of bank-

ruptcy, each with different sets of rules and criteria. The most com-mon two types of bankruptcy are Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Two other types, Chapter 11 and Chapter 12,

are lesser known and not used as often. Chapter 11 is used by business owners, and Chapter 12 is for family farmers. Single or married individu-als typically use both Chapter 7 & 13. In a Chapter 7, debts are discharged. In a Chapter 13, the debts are reor-ganized and paid back to the extent that the party is able.

What Should I Do?If you are a home owner, fi ling for

a Chapter 7, the fi rst thing to do is fi nd out whether your home has eq-uity. If there is equity, you and your bankruptcy attorney can determine if you qualify for an exemption. Typ-ically, in California, the homestead exemption for a married couple is $75,000.00, with higher limits for seniors. Keeping your home pursuant to an exemption is conditioned on the understanding that you will continue to make your mortgage payments.

However, if you still have sig-nifi cant equity, and the exemption is not enough to protect all of the equity in your home; you could still use a Chapter 13 debt reorganization with some partial payments and still protect your home.

Speak with a Lawyer as soon as possible.

If you are considering bankrupt-cy, it is important to speak with a bankruptcy lawyer right away. This is particularly important if you have a large asset, like a home that you would like to keep. Your lawyer will have knowledge of the various exemptions available to you, and offer you sound advice to ensure your bankruptcy goes smoothly. There is a lot at stake, so it is important to give yourself every chance of success.

Will I lose my home if I fi le for bankruptcy?Americans are still fi ling bank-

ruptcy in record numbers, and with good reason. The economic downturn, including the fall of housing prices and the increase in unemployment has wrecked havoc on our fi nances. The truth is, that in many cases, bankruptcy is a wise decision for many, since it wipes away debt and

MANILA, July 7 (Mabuhay) – The discretion of President Rodrigo Duterte to name the fi ve former and active police offi cials with alleged links to illegal drugs is trustworthy considering his background on criminal justice, the spokesman for the National Police said Thursday.

“We believe the President has enough information or holdings against these five generals. We respect that. We know the back-ground of our commander. He was a lawyer and prosecutor,” PNP spokesperson Senior Supt. Dio-nardo Carlos said in a television interview.

“We believe that the President has access to information coming from intelligence units from dif-ferent government agencies. What we have is information from [the] intel of PNP. We don’t have access on reports being submitted to the President,” Carlos added.

Of the five officials named by

Duterte, three will be investigated by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) because they are still on active duty – Chief Super-intendent Edgardo Tinio, Chief Superintendent Bernardo Diaz, and Director Joel Pagdilao.

The three met with PNP chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa on Wednesday and were advised to “face the music” during their “intimate and personal” meeting in Camp Crame.

Also on Wednesday, NAPOL-COM Commissioner Rogelio Ca-surao said the en banc has been given the directive to fi nish their investigation within seven days.

“The President is very clear on this matter. Ayaw niya na that the investigation will drag on. We are never going into that situation,” Casurao said at a press conference after their en banc session.

Carlos said the three were as-signed to the offi ce of Dela Rosa

for accounting purposes and will be supervised by NAPOLCOM. They are also ordered to stay in Metro Manila to answer to the investiga-tion panel.

Meanwhile, former Deputy Di-rector General Marcelo Garbo Jr. and Chief Superintendent Vicente Loot will not be under the juris-diction of the PNP since they have already retired from the service.

Carlos said Garbo is now a pri-vate citizen while Loot currently sits as mayor of Daanbantayan, Cebu.

“Garbo is now a private citizen while Loot is elected mayor in one of the towns in Cebu. In the case of Loot, the [Department of Interior and Local Government] will take cognisance of the case. [On] Gener-al Garbo, we look at the case at the level of the Department of Justice,” Carlos said.

All fi ve have since denied the allegation against them. (MNS)

MANILA, July 7 (Mabuhay) – Senator Juan Edgardo Angara on Thursday reiterated the need for the passage of Magna Carta for the Philippine National Police (PNP) to rid the police force of scalawags in-volved in corruption and the illegal drugs trade.

The senator has been fi ling the Magna Carta for PNP since his days in the House of Representatives and during his fi rst term at the Senate but it has yet to be passed. He once again filed a version in the 17th Congress.

Angara’s bill seeks to establish a separate salary scale for the PNP, distinct from the other agencies of the government, to attract more qualifi ed and competent law enforcers in the country.

This was after President Rodrigo Duterte named retired offi cers PNP Deputy Director General Marcelo Garbo Jr. and Chief Supt. Vicente Loot; Chief Supt. Bernardo Diaz, Chief Supt Edgardo Tinio, and Di-rector Joel Pagdilao as alleged pro-tectors of drug syndicates.

“Talagang nakakadismaya kung mapapatunayan ngang sangkot sa iligal na droga ang ilan sa mga matataas na opisyal ng PNP,” Ang-ara said in a press statement.

“We are hoping that through the passage of this measure, our police-men will be more encouraged to stay true to their commitment to preserve peace and order and protect the lives of the Filipino people rather than coddling drug lords and exacerbating the drug situation in the country,” he added.

MANILA, July 7 (Mabuhay) – A lawmaker has re-fi led the proposed Freedom of Information Act to fully promote good governance, account-ability and transparency in all branches of the government.

Rep. Raul V. Del Mar (1st District, Cebu City) said the still unnumbered bill seeks to strengthen the right of Filipino citizens to information held by the government by full public disclosure of all government transac-tions involving public interest.

“This same measure was already approved on third and fi nal reading during the 16th Congress. However, due to lack of quorum of the last session day, the subject Conference Committee report was not ratifi ed,” Del Mar said.

Under the bill, request of infor-mation shall be free of charge and could be requested personally, by electronic means or by mail to the government agency concerned.

The FOI Act shall cover the execu-tive, legislative and judicial branches which shall include the national government and all its agencies, de-partments, bureaus, constitutional commissions and mandated bodies,

offi ces of the Senators and Repre-sentatives, the Supreme Court and all lower courts established by law.

It shall also cover local govern-ments and all their agencies, regula-tory agencies, chartered institutions, government-owned or controlled cor-porations, including wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, offices and instrumentalities, government fi nancial institutions, state univer-sities and colleges.

Law enforcement agencies are also part of the FOI Act, including the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Information shall be given upon request to every Filipino citizen and it shall become the government agencies and public offi cials’ duty to disclose all records pertaining to offi cial acts, transactions or decisions and government research data used as a basis for policy development.

“Access to public records means access to evidence vital to prov-ing public officials accountable for wrongdoing. Also, the new bill provides a convenient procedure to facilitate access to information

and remedies are also available for denial of access like administrative, civil and criminal penalties,” Del Mar said.

A Freedom of Information Manual shall be prepared for the use of the public and shall also be posted in the agency website.

Exceptions shall be granted if the information may compromise national security or interfere with any legitimate military or law en-forcement operations.

Immunity from the Act shall also be permitted if the information shall jeopardize the diplomatic and nego-tiating position of the Philippines.

The information shall not also be disclosed if it will expose identity of confi dential sources, techniques, guidelines and procedures of law enforcement investigations.

Furthermore, pieces of informa-tion that will constitute an unwar-ranted invasion of personal priva-cy such as signatures, addresses, telephone numbers, identifi cation numbers, family members, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orienta-tion, health education shall not be part of the FOI Act.

On the other hand, the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN) of all public offi cials shall be mandatory disclosed on an annual basis.

Public offi cials shall include the President, Vice President, Cabinet members, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, Supreme Court Justices, Constitu-tional commissioners and offi cers of AFP with the rank of a general.

All government agencies shall also publish datasets in the Open Date Philippines website and on Local Government Unit (LGU) websites.

The website shall be maintained and managed by an Open Data Task Force under the Offi ce of the Presi-dent. Request for information can also be tracked using the websites of concerned government agency, including the status, decision on the request and the matrix of the requests made.

Lastly, the principles of account-ability and transparency, democracy, leadership and good governance shall be integrated in the primary and secondary curriculum to guar-antee understanding of the FOI Act.

MANILA, July 6 (Mabuhay) – A measure seeking the full subsidy of irrigation fees for farmers recov-ering from the recent El Niño has been fi led at the Senate as part of legislation for the 17th Congress to work on.

Dubbed as the “Free Irrigation Services Act,” the bill filed by Senator Panfi lo M. Lacson will not require farmers to pay for irriga-tion fees which will be shouldered

instead by the government – once passed into law.

“Irrigation is a very basic govern-mental function that can very easily be shouldered by the state. It does not have to be passed on to farm-ers,” Lacson said on Wednesday.

“Considering that it is a key factor in increasing agricultural productivity, having the state subsidize it will go a long way in ensuring adequate food supply and

the early recovery of the principal means of livelihood of people in disaster-hit and poverty-stricken areas,” he said.

According to the senator, current laws allow the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) to collect fees from farmers tapped into irrigation systems. The fees are supposed “... to fi nance the continuous operation of the system.”

The damage caused by the El

Niño and pest infestation on the agriculture sector has reached more than P8.6 billion, according to the Department of Agriculture.

“Water must be provided for free to Filipino farmers, because that is the only way we could produce more food for the Filipinos,” President Rodrigo Duterte said in one of the presidential debates early this year.

The Senate adjourned on June 9. It will resume on July 25.(MNS)

MANILA, July 8 (Mabuhay) – With drug lords offering “billions” for his head, President Rodrigo Duterte said he was leaving his fate to God.

Duterte unveiled on national tele-vision late Thursday an elaborate matrix of illegal drug operations in the country that allegedly included police generals and crime lords serv-ing time in prison.

“I’m confi dent that God will decide everything. If God does not want me to die, I will not die. But if God wants me out of the scene, I will be gone. So, ba-bye na lang,” Duterte said.

Duterte acknowledged that crime lords wanted him dead, even “offer-ing billions.”

“You don’t have to worry, you have your Vice President. Kaya nga tayo may Vice President e. E, ‘di there is always the rule of succession,” he said.

Philippine National Police Chief Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, who is leading the govern-ment’s anti-drug drive, earlier said a P50-million bounty was put up for himself and the president.

Duterte said Thursday he trusted the military and the police enough to secure him.

“The Armed Forces will not take it sitting down. The Philippine Na-tional Police, even if I’m gone, they will not allow these animals to have their day,” he said.

“And Leni Robredo, if she becomes the President will also be harsh kasi you are talking about the welfare of the country,” he added.

Last week, Duterte named fi ve police generals as alleged coddlers of drug lords as he kicked his relentless anti-narcotics campaign into high gear.(MNS)

MANILA, July 8 (Mabuhay) – Several groups on Friday fi led charges against former President Benigno Aquino III and former Budget Sec-retary Florencio Abad before the Offi ce of the Ombudsman over the implementation of the Disbursement Acceleration Program, some parts of which were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2014.

Aquino and Abad were charged with technical malversation, usur-pation of legislative powers, and graft and corruption by complainants led by Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan and Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption.

“The DAP was nothing but a presidential pork taken from forced sav-ings then realigned for pet projects of the President. It was not a stimulus program as many of the projects approved by Aquino had nothing to do with stimulating the economy,” said Zarate.

This was the second criminal complaint fi led against Aquino since he stepped down from power and lost immunity from suit on June 30.

Last week, two relatives of the 44 police commandos killed in the 2015 Mamasapano incident fi led multiple homicide charges, citing Aquino’s approval of the operation which the complainants described as “fl awed.”

Aquino dismissed the complaint as mere harassment.

By Jelly F. MusicoMANILA, July 6 (PNA) – Senate

President Franklin M. Drilon has fi led a bill that introduces a 27 per-cent average increase in the salary of about 1.53 million state workers over a period of three years.

Senate Bill No. 13 or the Salary Standardization Law IV, which Drilon fi led recently, seeks to intro-duce reforms in the government’s compensation system to make it competitive with the private sector, and to boost the employees’ morale and productivity.

“The compensation for all civilian government personnel shall be com-

petitive with those in the private sector doing comparable work in order to attract, retain and motivate a corps of effective, effi cient, profes-sional, committed and competent civil servants,” Drilon said.

The bill mandates a three-year compensation increase for the na-tional government’s 1.53 million and military and uniformed per-sonnel.

The bill aslo provides for a mid-year month pay bonus equivalent to a one month’s basic salary and an enhanced performance-based bonus equivalent to one to two months’ basic salary.

“Beautiful, “ The Carole King Musical is King’s inspiring person-al story of her struggle and rise to stardom as a teenage songwriter, eventually meeting Gerry Goffi n, the man of her dreams when she was seventeen and together, they built a successful songwriting team which later on broke, until she fi -nally found her solo career, which gave her prominence in music history. The story was based on a book by Douglas McGrath and the lead role was performed by Abby Mueller.

Delving into the singer’s back-ground, this author found out that “ King was born Carol Joan Klein in February 1942, to a family in Manhattan. Her mother, Eugenia (nee Cammer) was a teacher and her father, Sidney N. Klein was a firefighter for the New York City Fire Department. She grew up in Brooklyn, learned the pia-no when she was four years old, and appeared on “The Horn and Hardart Children’s Hour,” with a school friend, performing “If I Knew You Were Comin’ I’d Bake a Cake,” when she was eight.”

In the 1950’s, while attending James Madison High School, “Carol Klein changed her name to Carole King, subsequently form-ing a band called Co-Sines, and

together they made a demo with her friend, Paul Simon, for $25.00 per session.”

“Carole King’s fi rst offi cial re-cording was the promotional single called “ The Right Girl,” which was released by ABC -Paramount in 1958 where she wrote and sang the arrangement with Don Costa. Further on, she attended Queen’s College, where she met Gary Goffi n, who was “to become her song-writing partner.” They eventually married when she was 17 years old, in a Jewish ceremony in Long Island in 1959 and they named their daughter, Louise. Both Gerry and Carole left college, worked odd jobs, while writing songs in the evenings at the offi ce of Don Kirschner’s Aldon Music on Broadway.

In 1959, Neil Sedaka, who had dated King when she was in high school, had a hit single called “”Oh Carol,” which gave Guffi n the idea in writing a response song called “Oh! Neil,” which Carole King re-corded and released as a single the same year. Subsequently, a black girl group called “The Shirelles,” beame Billboard’s “”Hot 100” with the hit song, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.” The hit song encour-aged Guffi n and King to quit their daytime jobs and concentrated on writing and the same song, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” became their standard song. Together, the

songwriting team of Guffin and King were the duo behind Don Kirschner’s “Dominion Records” label, which produced songs like “The Locomotion,” “It Might As Well Rain in September,” (King’s fi rst hit which she recorded herself in 1962)

Through 1967, the songwriting team of Goffi n and King wrote more than two-dozen chart-hit songs for numerous artists which included: :”Half Way To Paradise,” (for Tony Orlando); “Take Good Care of My Baby,” for Bobby Vee; “Up On The Roof,” for The Drifters; “I’m Into Something Good,” for Earl Jean, later done by Herman Hermits; “One Fine Day,” for The Cliftons; “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” for The Monkees; and “You Make Me Feel Like A Woman,” for Aretha Franklin.

The following year (1968), Goffi n and King divorced and King moved to Los Angeles where she formed a Trio composed of::Charles Larkey, her future husband , on the bass, Danny Kortchmar, on guitar and vocals and King on piano and vocals. They produced one album called “Now That Everything’s Been Said,” but was unsuccessful and the group disbanded the fol-

lowing year. Carole King continued writing

and performing her solo acts and by 1970, she scored her breakthrough album called “Tapestry,” which topped the Billboard charts for more than six years.

IN 2000. Billboard named King the most successful female song-writer of 1955-99, because she wrote and co-wrote 118 pop hits. In 2005, a music historian named Stuart Devoy. named her the most successful female songwriter on the U.K singles chart, 1952-2005.

Carole King’s most recent non-compilation album was “Live at the Troubadour,,” in 2010 a col-laboration with James Taylor, that reached number 4 on the charts in its fi rst week and has sold over 600,000 copies. Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide.

King has won four Grammys, and was inducted to the Songwrit-ers Hall of Fame as well as The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She is also the recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the fi rst woman to be honored and in 2015, she was one of the honorees at the Kennedy Center. “

Rational occupants of the planet Earth are rallying to save and con-serve the resources that God has placed in their hands if they still so desire to enjoy what is has to offer in this generation and the next.

This is plain and basic faithful-ness to the concept of stewardship which had gone berserk with irra-tional abuses that man has sub-jected the environment and now are reaping the expected results of their blatant disregard for their discordant behavior.

The world, fortunately is heed-ing the wake up call that if man doesn’t do his share in conserv-ing and protecting, or being good stewards of the natural resources that surround him, he himself will be among the fi rst victims of this utter disregard. Already, in many parts of the world, governments are joining the advocacy to arrest the damage resulting from many years of neglect.

In Orange, conservationists and green advocates will bring to focus their shares in stewarding re-sources to help arrest the harmful effect of years of utter disrespect for nature.

The Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County joins this year’s effort, its eight consecutive years of faithful advo-cacy, in raising public conscious-ness on this burning concern and elicit wider support in saving the planet from destruction.

FACCOC’s Annual Green, Con-serve and Health Expo on August 4th at the Pacifi c Ballroom of Dis-ney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will bring under one roof hundreds of “green” advocates with their products, ser-vices and ideas.

The day-long event will high-light the importance of the envi-ronment and sustain awareness on the merits of going green.

The Atty. Linda Sarno, a strong advocate for the environment in her lifetime and in whose memory this year’s event is dedicated to promises to be a more meaning information effort to reach out to the community.

FACCOC has been an active par-ticipant in this environment and entrepreneurial advocacies by en-couraging and promoting the green movement and providing a venue for exhibitors, participants, cities and government agencies, sponsor-ing corporations, representatives from the utility companies, sellers of ‘green’ or eco-conservation prod-ucts, and consumers to meet and

exchange information, experience and know-how about preserving the environment and at the same time provide a marketing outlet for various health and eco-friendly products and service .

This year’s event will recognize green advocates who will join the ranks of Emerald Awardees as “Best Green Company, City or Entity”. “Best Green Product or Service”, and The green movement which started in the 70’s is rooted in the American philosophy as in-novative, idealist and active. “Best Conservation Program”.

“Going green” has blossomed into a huge movement over the years with more and more people becoming aware and interested on what going green really mean and what benefi ts it has for the society. With the present state of the econ-

omy, everyone wants to save and “going green” is one great ways to do it. People go green in various ap-plications from food, cosmetics for women to furniture and dwellings and in almost everything.

“Go Green” advocate FACCOC is a nonprofi ts organization founded in 1994 “to help small and medi-um-sized businesses grow through

workshops, providing procurement opportunities, mixers, mentorship and other programs to network and link members to successful business professionals”.

FACCOC is one of the most ac-tive nonprofi ts in Orange County which consists of 34 cities and the most populous in the State of California.

‘Going Green’ to honor the late OC Green advocate Linda Sarno

“Green” Fil-Am Chamber -The Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County will host this year’s 8th Annual Green, Conserve and Health Expo on August 4th at the Pacifi c Ballroom of Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel in honor of the late Atty. Linda Sarno, (4th from left in this fi le photo), who made “going green” as one of her advocacies while still alive.

drive. The business started losing money, and could not pay the banks and the leases. Eventually, the truck that caused the accident was returned to the leasing compa-ny. Subsequently, the other truck was also returned to the leasing company. Each truck had a lease return deficiency of $40K each. Unfortunately, client personally guaranteed the leases, so the leasing companies have now sent a demand to client for $80K of lease deficiencies. To make matters worse, the banks have also sent a demand letter to client for $140K to call on his personal guaranty on the bank loans for the purchase of three trucks, which are now also seriously delinquent.

What did I say many times be-fore? Do not sign personal guaran-ties for business loans because you will be on the hook if the business cannot pay the loans. If you own a house, why risk your house with a personal guaranty for a business loan? In any event, client is now about to face lawsuits to collect on his personal guaranty for $220K! It doesn’t even end at $220K. The business itself will be facing law-suits arising from the accident for $700K. Fortunately for client, even though he owns a house, the equi-ty in the house is only $60K, well within the homestead exemption of $100K. So client opts for Chapter 7 to wipe out the $220K, keep his house and all his assets, to start life again without lawsuits. He can be productive again. Maybe he might even be able to go back to school and get his professional degree and license. In two years, with his degree and professional license, client should have no dif-fi culty making $250K gross a year.

The other client is 62. He still works a mid level management position and grosses $60K a year. Wife is a licensed vocational nurse and makes $36K a year. They make about $100K a year, which is good. They still have a daughter in college. They send her $1,500 a month out of state. Wife has a

sister abroad with a big family and insufficient income. Wife sends sister $500 a month. Husband has $40K of credit card debt. He pays $1,200 to keep that current. Wife owes $15K of credit cards. She pays $600 of minimum payments to keep them current. So, credit card payments are almost $2K a month, just to keep them current. Client says that they have been paying for these cards for ten years. They have paid $240K in ten years, and still owe the same $40K and $15K. However, client anticipates that he may just con-tinue working for another year or so. What happens then?

His income will be gone, and he will rely on social security, which is less than $2K a month. Might as well wipe out all credit cards now and save $24K this year, and another $24K next year, or save $48K in two years. Should have done it, Chapter 7, wiped out all his credit cards ten years ago, and set aside $240K more in his retirement account! And now, he would have $240K cash in is retire-ment accounts plus, he would have perfect credit today, if he fi led for Chapter 7 ten years ago!

Client is 45. He is actually a medical professional in his coun-try of origin. It would have been great for him if he could practice his profession here. Unfortunate-ly, his professional license is not recognized here. He is required to study another two years here in California to complete his profes-sional degree, and thereafter pass the licensing board. Since client already has a family with a wife and two kids aged 6 and 7, he be-lieves his priority is to make money to support his family, and not to study further to get his profession-al degree and qualify for a license to practice his profession here. His wife is a teacher and makes about $4K a month.

Client decided to set up a busi-ness. He set up a trucking business

with a business partner. They established a C-corporation with each owning 50%. The corporation purchased three trucks with in-stallment fi nancing provided by a bank, and leased two trucks. Client and partner both drove two trucks, and they hired three drivers for the other three. Each truck was gener-ating about $100K a year of gross receipt. On their fi rst year, gross receipts was about half a million $, less operating expenses of $480K. Considering that each partner got paid a salary of $2K a month which was part of operating expenses, plus the net profi t of $20K and the end of the fi rst year of operations, client’s trucking business was ok, but not that great. Business was able to pay all installment and lease payments and all expenses on time.

The problem came about when one of the trucks got into a seri-ous rear end accident out of state. Their truck rear-ended a car on the freeway that stopped all of a sudden. It caused a chain collision of six cars with drivers and pas-sengers suffering a lot of physical injuries. Client’s insurance carrier had limited liability, which was insuffi cient to pay for all damages. So now, the injured parties are suing the business for $$700K for injuries caused not covered by insurance. Their own driver was badly injured, and could no longer

CEBU CITY, July 7 (PNA) – Daanbantayan Mayor Vicente Loot on Thursday said he is confi dent that he will be able to clear his name and prove that he never protected drug personalities.

In a speech last Tuesday, Pres-ident Rodrigo Duterte named Loot, retired PNP general Marcelo Garbo Jr., Chief Supt. Joel Pag-dilao, Chief Supt. Edgardo Tinio, and Chief Supt. Bernardo Diaz as “drug protectors.”

Loot, who visited the offi ce of Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III at the Cebu Capitol on Thursday, said he had served the Filipinos for 37 years as a military offi cer and police offi cer.

”I felt sad that these false and malicious allegations happened. But I am confi dent the truth will come out,” Loot said.

Loot was a chief superintendent of the Philippine National Police (PNP), a rank equivalent to a brig-adier general in the Armed Forces, when he retired in July last year.

Loot said he has been a victim of political black propaganda since his wife joined politics in the 1990s, and when he ran and won as mayor of his town last May 9.

He said that even the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), through a certain Attorney Allan Contado, conducted a lifestyle check on him and his family and fi led charges for having ill-gotten wealth before the Office of the Ombudsman.

However, the case the NBI fi led against him was dismissed by Om-budsman Conchita Carpio Morales in a resolution dated Feb. 6, 2015, Loot said, because the NBI failed to substantiate the allegation.

Loot said their family assets amount to about Php 100 million, and these were acquired long be-fore he became a general.

He said everything has been dis-closed in their Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN), a copy of which is with the Offi ce of the Ombudsman.

Loot confi dent his name will be cleared

ENTERTAINMENTZsa Zsa Padilla ended specula-

tions that she and former fi ance Conrad Onglao are back together.

Some netizens speculated that the couple are back together since the “Divine Diva” has not yet de-leted their photos on Instagram.

On May 3, Padilla’s daughter Karylle confi rmed that the sing-er-actress called off her engage-ment with the architect because “it didn’t work out.”

The two were supposed to tie the knot sometime this 2016.

Padilla confi rmed her daugh-

ter’s statement and said she is currently undergoing “healing.”

Padilla, meanwhile, admitted that she used to have much an-ger during the early stages of the breakup. But, “by God’s grace,” she said it eventually mellowed down.

“It’s so hard to be angry din e. It’s exhausting! When you breakup kasi, you’re angry. That’s normal,” she said.

While there was anger, Padilla said her relationship with Onglao was also rich in good memories, which she said are uploaded on

Instagram.“You’re always naman post-

ing good memories ‘di ba?” she quipped. When asked why she is not deleting their photos together, the 52-year-old singer-actress said it is childish to do so.

“I’m not for that because these are things that happened to you. I’m adult enough to tell myself na this happened and it was an expe-rience,” she said.

“It’s there, I mean, I don’t wan-na touch it anymore,” she added.(mns)

Anne Curtis is set to tick off another item from her bucket list.

Curtis revealed that she is cur-rently undergoing a rigorous kali martial arts training in prepa-ration for her movie with Filipi-no-American MMA star Brandon Vera, which will be directed by Erik Matti.

“Excited ako kasi nga hindi ko pa siya ginagawa and it’s actu-ally always been something that I’ve wanted to do. Game kaagad. Ine-enjoy ko siya. I guess it helps that I’m also very active. Doing something na challenging excites me,” she said.

Curtis said she is trying to learn as much from her training because she wants to do all her stunts in the movie herself.

“No to doubles. That’s why I’m

really putting in so much effort. I told this to direk na kung puwede ako talaga. Seryoso talaga kaya inaaral ko as much as I can kahit pasa pasa na ako, okay lang,” she said.

Vera, on the other hand, said he is impressed with Curtis’ improve-ment despite training for only a few days.

“I’m very interested in watching Anne train. Nakita ko ‘yung fi rst day niya. From fi rst day to day six, ibang tao na talaga. Natututo siyang mahusay, maayos. I don’t know how to explain it in Tagalog but she’s a beast. If you’re lucky enough to watch Anne train, you can see how focused she is,” he said.

Vera said he has a lot of catching up to do because Curtis has been training for three hours each day

for a week now.“Nakakanerbyos. It’s my fi rst

project. I get to co-star in an amaz-ing movie directed by Erik Matti, and come on, the lead is Anne Curtis. I have some big shoes to fi ll. Mahirap ito but kaya ko. Kayang kaya ko,” he said.

The still-untitled action-drama fi lm will reportedly be shown in theaters internationally.

Meanwhile, Vera shared that he will now live in the Philippines for good. Vera’s father, Ernesto, grew up in Quezon province.

“Nandito na ako sa Pilipinas. I live here now. I just found out I’m a dual citizen at birth. I’ll be at the consulate on Monday to pick up my passport. Super excited to be here. Nandito na ako. Pilipinas, sa inyo na ako,” he said. (MNS)

Building 14 and is known to be the leader of Bilibid 19.

The Visayas triad is reportedly headed by a Chinese national known as Peter Lim, alias Jaguar, and who is said to be the one being protected by retired Police Deputy Director General Marcelo Garbo. Garbo was the former Police Regional Office (PRO) Director and Deputy Regional Director for Operations (DRDO) of the National Police (PNP) offi ce in Region 7 and part of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class 1981.

Calida clarifi ed that the “Jaguar” identifi ed in the chart is a different personality and not the “Jaguar” who was killed in a police operation in Las Pinas and was buried in Cebu.

Another alleged big time drug lord was identifi ed as Herbert Colangco, alias Ampang, who is now detained at the NBP. He is said to be involved in kidnap-for-ransom activities and bank robberies and is connected with the Parojinog Drug Syndicate and the Kuratong Baleleng group.

People included in the level 4 and down involves Chinese nationals and some offi cials of the PNP, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology

(BJMP) and local government units (LGUs), the chart showed.

These are the levels were the other four police offi cials whom the President identifi ed earlier belongs, Calida said. These offi cials are police generals Bernando Diaz, Joel Pagdi-lao, and Eduardo Tinio and retired general Vicente Loot.

Calida said that since Peter Co and Herbert Colangco are now de-tained in the NBP but are still very active in the illegal drugs trade there is a plan to transfer them to other facilities where communication signals are weak, citing that these personalities transact using high end mobile phones.

He said about 75 percent of drug transactions in the country are done inside the NBP, thus, the Duterte administration’s bid to address this.

Among the sites being considered for the relocation of big time illegal drug prisoners are the Building 14 of NBP in Muntinlupa, the prison facil-ity in Tanay, Rizal; the facilities of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), and the islands of Caballo in Cavite and another in Palawan.

On Tuesday, Duterte named PNP Deputy Director General Marcelo Garbo Jr., former National Capital Region Police Offi ce chief Director Joel Pagdilao, Western Visayas re-gional director Chief Supt. Bernardo Diaz, Quezon City Police District director Chief Supt. Edgardo Tinio and retired police general Vicente “Vic” Loot, for allegedly involved in illegal drugs.

Mangrobang noted that the BI knows what to do in case these PNP offi cials try to leave the country.

“The Immigration offi cer would ask for a travel authority, to also refer to the supervisor na this per-son has appeared. Kasi kung may hininging documents na present automatic na I-refer sa supervisor ‘yun,” she said.

On the case of the general who is no longer in government service, the BI offi cial said, “The immigration personnel would also be tasked to check his ticket just to ascertain

actual destination and the date of return to the Philippines. For infor-mation lang because as of this time we have not received any other orders from any other offi ce to prevent the departure.”

Meanwhile, Mangrobang said that they were also checking on the records of a certain Peter Lim, who was identifi ed along with two other as “drug lords” by Duterte. She noted that they have checked 4,000 names.

With this, the BI offi cial said that they would coordinate with the PNP to give them additional information on the suspected drug lord.

“Siguro ang initial gagawin namin we are inclined to ask for clarifi cation from PNP, as to the identity baka they have other information with respect to his identity. Kasi nga if they are going to put Peter Lim in the watchlist we have already checked around 4,000 plus with the same name and we would also request for an image,” she said.

drug testing for police offi cers.The police identifi ed as PO3 Mi-

chael Lee Manalad of the Malolos police was found dead on Thursday morning in the City of Meycauayan.

”Actually, tatlo nagpositive sa atin sa drug test for the past one week -- isa pong major, isang PO1 at yung namatay kahapon isa po yun sa 3 na nagpositive sa drug test. Sa am-ing CIU (Crime Investigating Unit) report pati sa intelligence group po namin ay may report na involved siya sa drugs,” he explained.

During the 69th anniversary cel-ebration of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) on Tuesday, President Rodrigo

Duterte publicly tagged fi ve police generals allegedly involved in illegal drugs.

These were retired General Marce-lo Garbo and retired General Vicente Loot, now mayor of Daanbatayan; and three active police generals namely: Police Regional Offi ce (PRO) 6 Director Chief Supt. Bernardo Diaz, former National Capital Regional Police Offi ce (NCRPO) Chief Police Director Joel Pagdilao, and former Quezon City Police District (QCPD) Director Edgardo Tinio.

PNP Chief Director General Ricar-do Dela Rosa said the three generals wanted to clear their names and

“That will only serve to heighten the tension, and the important thing for us fi rst is to wait for that deci-sion,” Yasay said in a press briefi ng on Friday.

Yasay said the Philippines made this commitment during the courtesy call of Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Zhao Jianhua on Presi-dent Rodrigo Duterte in Malacañang on Thursday. Yasay was present in the meeting.

“I am happy to announce that the Chinese ambassador had made that commitment that certainly they will not do or take any action that will undermine our friendship and under-mine the interests of the Philippines as regards the disputed area. That, in sum, was what was discussed,” Yasay said.

The new secretary of the Depart-ment of Foreign Affairs (DFA) also reiterated that Manila will study

fi rst the decision of the Permanent Court of Arbitration before deciding on what to do next.

“What the President conveyed to the ambassador offi cially was that when we receive the decision of the arbitral tribunal, we will look at it, study it before we make any defi ni-tive statement or see what particular course of action we will take. But in the meantime, we cannot speculate on what we will do because it will all be dependent upon the decision of the arbitral tribunal,” he said.

Yasay further described Zhao’s courtesy call on Duterte as “simply formal felicitations conveying the head of state of China to the Presi-dent on an offi cial basis,” adding that they also discussed the strengthening of ties between Manila and Beijing.

China has refused to participate in the case and vowed to ignore the ruling of the arbitration court.(MNS)

assured him that they will fully co-operate with any investigation.

The PNP chief said he already for-warded the case of the three generals to the National Police Commission (Napolcom) for investigation.

Dela Rosa said despite the al-leged involvement of these generals in illegal drugs, the morale of the PNP remain very high adding that they consider the incident as morale booster.

IRS problems have a way of ru-ining all aspects of your life. They can take a toll on you fi nancially, emotionally and physically.

When you owe the IRS, you’re always wondering if today might be the day when the IRS shows up at work, your home or your business; or if today might be the day the IRS decides to levy your bank account or garnish your paycheck.

This is a heavy load to bear every day! So what should you do if you are in this situation?

The only way to solve your IRS problems is to face them head-on and to have a plan of action. And that’s exactly what people lack- a plan. Un-fortunately, instead of taking action, people bury their heads in the sand, pretending that their IRS problems don’t exist. This is the wrong ap-proach and your tax problems will only continue to get worse!

Unfortunately, there are a lot of unscrupulous companies out there

who are more interested in taking your hard-earned dollars instead of offering you the solution that you need. Without knowing anything about your situation, they tell you that you can settle your IRS debt “for pennies on the dollar”. While the IRS has such a program that allows forgiveness of tax debt, it is not for everyone. The IRS uses a specifi c for-mula to determine the least amount it will accept based on your income and assets.

Remember that the IRS leaves no stone unturned in trying to collect everything that you owe. I always tell my clients that the IRS is one of

the worst creditors that you can have because the government has a lot of weapons in its arsenal to make sure that they get paid.

Some people tend to think that if they just ignore the IRS long enough, at some point the IRS will just some-how forget. Trust me, the IRS never forgets. And they will keep adding penalties and interest to what you owe until they fi nd you, your money or your money source. Then it’s pay-day for the IRS! Believe it or not, even when you retire, the IRS can attack your pension, retirement and social security check! In other words, you can run but you can’t hide as far as the IRS is concerned.

The good news is that there is a better way to live your life other than hiding from the IRS if you owe them money. You don’t need to be always looking over your shoulder for the IRS, wondering what the government will do to you next. You don’t need to get up every morning with this

Do you owe money to the IRS?incredible large problem on your shoulders.

The laws have changed over the years and there are laws to protect taxpayers. If you have not fi led tax returns in years, remember that the IRS will not even talk to you unless you fi le those returns fi rst in order to show good faith. So if that’s your case, this is a good fi rst step in resolving your IRS tax liabilities.

MANILA, July 6 (Mabuhay) – To make it easy for the law to investigate and prosecute erring government offi cials and employ-ees, Senator Panfilo M. Lacson fi led a measure seeking to exclude them from the Bank Secrecy Law or Republic Act 1405, ahead of the 17th Congress which opens on July 25.

Senate Bill 47 removes from all public servants the protection under RA 1405, which prohibits the disclosure or inquiry into bank deposits, Lacson said Wednesday.

“Uncovering ill-gotten wealth of government offi cials may soon get easier. Law enforcement au-

thorities will be equipped with the tools needed to go after crooks in government,” Lacson said.

“The avowed purpose of the law is meritorious in preserving the confidentiality of bank transac-tions,” the senator noted.

“Unfortunately, this provision of the law prohibiting the disclosure of or inquiry into bank deposits had been exploited time and again to hamper and stall investiga-tions of government offi cials and employees suspected of enriching themselves while in public offi ce,” he emphasized.

Lacson noted his bill will amend Section 2 of RA 1405, to exclude

from the protection of the Bank Secrecy Law all depositors who are elected or appointed offi cials or employees of the government, from the President to the lowest-rank-ing employee.

The bill covers members of the uniformed services as well as gov-ernment-owned and controlled corporations.

RA 1405 or “An Act Prohibit-ing Disclosure of or Inquiry Into, Deposits With Any Banking In-stitution and Providing Penalty Therefore,” which was passed on September 9, 1955, covers:

“All deposits of whatever nature with banks or banking institutions

in the Philippines including invest-ments in bonds issued by the gov-ernment, its political subdivisions and its instrumentalities, are here-by considered as of an absolutely confi dential nature and may not be examined, inquired or looked into by any person, government offi cial, bureau or offi ce.”

Exemptions to the provision in-clude a written permission of the depositor, cases of impeachment, or upon order of a competent court in cases of bribery or dereliction of duty of public offi cials, or in cases where the money deposited or invested is the subject matter of a litigation. (MNS)

Lacson bill excludes gov’t offi cials, employees from safety of bank secrecy

In 1998, US Congress enacted into law Part C, in answer to the clamor of seniors for more choic-es. This is more popularly known today as the Medicare Advantage Plan.

In 2003, President George W. Bush signed into law Part D. Part D takes care of prescription med-ications.

Who may join Medicare? US citizens and legal residents who are 65 or older; not yet 65 but have been receiving disability benefi ts for 24 months; and, those with End Stage Renal Disease and ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Medicare members are provided with 2 options: 1) Stay on Original Medicare, i.e. Parts A & B. Most members who pick this option en-roll on Part D. They may see any doctor that accepts Medicare, but they have to pay a share of cost (es-timated to be at 20%). If the total bill is $100,000, the member pays approximately $20,000 as his or her share. To protect against this (share of) cost, the member may enroll on a Medicare Supplement Plan.

The second option is: 2) Enroll on a Medicare Advantage Plan. Provided by private health insur-ance companies, Medicare Advan-tage Plans are mandated by law to provide undiminished benefi ts on

Parts A & B. Most plans combine the benefi ts of Parts A, B and D and embed dental, vision and hearing benefi ts not covered by Medicare. Other benefi ts offered by private companies are nurse helpline, transportation, gym membership, over-the-counter products, and medical emergency coverage outside the US.

Which option best suits your needs?

The complexity that Medicare has become makes it very diffi cult for most people to navigate.

Department of Health (DOH) Sec-retary Paulyn Jean Rosell-Ubial said on Monday that aside from fi ghting drug addiction problem and preventing any form of corrup-tion in the department, they will also be focusing on other health priorities at the same time.

In her fi rst offi cial press briefi ng as new Health Chief at the DOH Media Relations Unit in Tayuman, Sta. Cruz, Manila, Secretary Ubial assured that she will implement President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s marching orders versus drug ad-diction and corruption.

She said that they are starting to create a framework on how to make an entire government ap-proach in terms of addressing the drug problem in the country.

She admitted that while there are no specifi c details of that frame-work right now, she is considering the upgrading and expansion of the facilities of the treatment and rehabilitation centers under the DOH, wherein they can begin to do the planning and strategies.

“I think we can start with that… Upgrading and expanding the ser-vices of our treatment and rehab centers. But I know the Duterte administration is formulating a really comprehensive govern-ment-wide strategy to address drug problem in this country,” she said. She added that they are plan-ning to design a community-based program wherein the patients can go instead of proceeding directly to a rehabilitation center itself.

She also said that President

Duterte’s marching orders to be responsive to the needs of the peo-ple and being simple and frugal in spending of government resources should be followed in the entire de-partment. According to her, being frugal can be exemplifi ed through choice of economy plane tickets in travelling and using the simplest forms of transportation of DOH health unit staffs in their delivery of services. She also said she has started reminding the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and licensing bureaus to speed up the licensing process and avoid long waiting of those securing licenses.

She admitted that while reduc-tion of long queues in government offi ces will be a challenge in hos-pitals, especially in the section of OPD (out-patient department), still, a lot of innovations can be introduced as a remedy.

She said that such can be done through software application by texting patients for doctor’s ap-pointment so they don’t have to wait long for their turn.

She reminded that all clients in every unit of the agency should be given the utmost courtesy, special attention that they themselves would like to be given when coming to other government offi ces.

She called on the health workers to ensure that they give the best services that they can offer to the people to move the health sector agenda forward. “I assure you, regional directors and hospital chiefs, that you have the full sup-port of the DOH Central Offi ce to ensure that you give the best ser-vices to the Filipino people.

a day to comply with the current law. Many caregivers are working under a day rate or monthly sal-ary. A day rate or monthly salary does not compensate for the over-time hours worked and results in a substantial unpaid overtime claim for the caregiver.

Oftentimes, employers attempt to avoid liability by claiming the caregiver is an “independent con-tractor.”

In most circumstances, this argument will fail as typically employers maintain significant control over the caregiver such that that California law will fi nd the caregiver to be an employee.

This change in the overtime rules for caregivers became effec-tive on January 1, 2014, when the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights (DWBR) became law. Previously, employees who qualifi ed as “per-sonal attendants,” including care-givers, nannies and babysitters who worked in private households, were The DWBR eliminated the overtime exemption for personal attendants and provides that personal attendants, “shall not be employed more than nine hours in any workday or more than 45 hours in any workweek unless the employee receives one and one-

half times the employee’s regular rate of pay for all hours worked over nine hours in any workday and for all hours worked more than 45 hours in the workweek.” So now caregivers, nannies and babysitters (with limited excep-tions) must be paid overtime compensation.

Under Labor Code § 1194, do-mestic workers are not only able to recover their unpaid overtime in a civil action, but they also may recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. California law also provides interest and penalties for workers who are not properly paid overtime compensation.

If you are working as a caregiv-er who is not paid overtime when working more than nine hours a day or 45 hours a week, you should consult with an attorney to discuss your rights under this law. With all the penalties, interest and at-torneys fees allowed, claims often exceed $100,000 for 24-hour em-ployees working just over 1 year.

Caregivers: are you receiving overtime pay?Under California law most

caregivers must be paid overtime compensation when working 24-hour shifts.

With the increase in California’s minimum wage to $10 an hour on January 1, 2016, that means a 24- hour caregiver must be paid $315

(PNA photo by Joey O. Razon)

MANILA, July 6 (Mabuhay) – Filipino Muslims marked the end of a month-long with Eid al-Fitr, beginning a three-day celebration on Wednesday with their friends and families.

Eid al-Fitr is the culmination of Ramadan, when Muslims observe abstinence from vices and contem-plate on their spiritual struggles.

The Eid’l Fitr or the “Festival of Fast-Breaking” is likened to Christmas for Catholics and is considered a major family event.

A feast-like atmosphere was observed at the Quezon Memori-al Circle in Quezon City on the morning of the end of the fast. The day began with morning prayer

followed by a large picnic.The National Commission on

Muslim Filipinos reminded attend-ees to keep discipline at heart and added, “Dapat din nating panatili-in sa ating mga puso na lagi tayong susunod sa batas.”

Similarly, a large crowd gath-ered at Rizal Park in Manila and at the Blue Mosque in Taguig, with many Muslims gathering outside the Blue Mosque for morning prayers before breaking the fast with their loved ones and friends.

Although Muslim Filipinos are celebrating Eid’l Fitr, they are also mourning with their brothers and sisters in faith after a series of bombings in Iraq and Saudi (MNS)

MANILA, July 7 (PNA) – A new policy being implemented in lug-gage screening is seen to rid once and for all the so-called “tanim-bala” (bullet-planting scheme) in Philippine airports.

Newly installed Philippine National Police-Aviation Security Group (PNP-Avsegroup) Director General Senior Supt. Mao Aplasca made this assurance to passengers traveling by air that they will no longer be extorted.

“The new policy is to look at the background of people (caught carrying bullets) before they are prosecuted. For example, the elderly are very unlikely to have criminal or terroristic intentions,” Aplasca told reporters in an interview on Thursday.

Aplasca said President Rodrigo Duterte and Transportation Sec. Arthur Tugade ordered to end immediately these extortion attempts at the country’s premier airport.

“If we do not fi nd a hint that they are part of criminal or terrorist elements, we will release them. Anyway, they can be traceable based on documents they have,” Aplasca said.

They will profi le all incidents and choose those that will be fi led in courts, he said.

“Our primary job here is to provide assistance and protect the public. We are not here to fi nd fault or prosecute... We equally as-sure that the public is protected of criminal elements and terrorist intentions,” Aplasca said.

Bullet-planting scheme now a ‘thing of the past’: airport police

MANILA, July 6 (PNA) – Tour-ism Secretary Wanda Corazon Teo has said she will continue the annual staging of Madrid Fusion Manila (MFM) which fi rst mate-rialized under the helm of former Tourism Chief Ramon Jimenez Jr.

The MFM is the fi rst and only Asian edition of Madrid Fusion –- Spain’s famous culinary event and one of the leading gastronomy gatherings in the world.

It was fi rst held in Manila in April 2015 and a second time this year. “Yes, we will continue Ma-drid Fusion Manila. We will try to invite Anthony Bourdain,” Teo told reporters in an interview, referring to the award-winning chef and TV host. To recall, Bourdain was in the Philippines last December 2015 to shoot a special segment for

his three-time Emmy Award-win-ning show “Parts Unknown” which aired in April 2016.

Teo revealed that during her meeting with Jimenez before she offi cially became his successor, one of his requests was for her to con-tinue the projects already started, to which she said she would.

At present, Teo is meeting with different travel and tour organiza-tions, associations, local govern-ment units, hotels, resorts, trans-portation sector to “know what needs to be done in their sectors.” She said that she would make it a point to replicate if not exceed the tourism accomplishments during the Aquino administration, which include acquiring 10 to 12 million tourists before the end of her term in 2022.

DOT Chief vows to continue annual staging of Madrid Fusion Manila

CEBU CITY, July 6 (PNA) – Thai Smile Airways has an-nounced it will offer Bangkok-Ce-bu-Bangkok direct air services starting in October this year.

Thai Smile, in a press statement by the Department of Tourism (DOT), said it will fly to Cebu daily, three times weekly in the morning and four times weekly in the afternoon.

The airline will be using an Airbus A320 with 162 dual class seats, with 12 business class and 150 economy class seats.

Cebu Association of Tour Oper-ators president Edilberto Mendoza Jr. welcomed the entry of a new airline with a direct fl ight to an-other country.

“It is really good news for all of us who loves to go to Bangkok. Cebu is really opening its doors to the rest of the world. Thanks to our new airport expansion that is opening very soon,” Mendoza said.

Stephanie Villahermosa, man-aging director of Divaishnavi In-ternational Inc., a travel and tour agency, said Thai Smile’s entry to Cebu will defi nitely add “more fun, endless possibilities and wonders.”

Thai Smile Airways is the re-gional airline and wholly-owned subsidiary of Thai Airways.

Based in Thailand, it began operation in July 2012.

The daily Bangkok-Cebu-Bang-kok route is in addition to Thai

Smile’s fi ve international routes and 12 domestic routes in Thailand. Thai Smile executive Wutcharin Thatan said the airline expects a good amount of traffi c from both ends, considering Bangkok is one of the popular destinations among Filipino business and leisure travelers. Thailand is also located strategically between the Philip-pines and Europe, the Middle East, and India, where visitor traffi c to the country registers double-digit growth annually.

Arrivals from Thailand to Cen-tral Visayas during the fi rst quar-ter of 2016 stood at 1,757, up by 29.70 percent compared to the 1,361 arrivals recorded in 2015.

Cebu, specifically, welcomed 1,280 guests from Thailand, up by 15.52 percent. Of the ten Associa-tion of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries, Thai-land is one of the biggest tourism source market for the region next to Singapore and Malaysia.

Central Visayas closed 2015 with 6,076 total arrivals from Thailand, a growth of 5.63 percent. Cebu welcomed 5,028 Thai visitors. Thatan said the direct Cebu-Bang-kok fl ights will be faster and more convenient for travelers from the central and southern Philippines than the current option of fl ying from Cebu to Manila onwards to Bangkok, saving both in flying time and local fares.

OPINIONPNP Chief Bato: No to vigilantes

MANILA, July 6 (Mabuhay) – Lawmakers who skip work and don’t attend sessions at Batasang Pambansa could soon see a deduction in their salaries just like regular employees if a bill fi led by Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco becomes a law.

House Bill 412 proposes a “no work, no pay” policy for members of Congress.

Under the measure, appropriate deductions will be made to the the salaries of lawmakers who fail to attend the regular and special sessions for unjustifi able cause.

The salary per session day is computed by dividing the monthly salary by the number of session days.

The total deductions, meanwhile, is computed by multi-plying the salary per session day by the number of absences.

Using the formula provided for in the bill, a lawmaker’s net monthly pay will be equivalent to his monthly salary minus total deductions.

The Civil Service Commission, the Commission on Audit and the Department of Budget and Management, in coordi-nation with Congress’ accounting department, shall issue the rules and regulations necessary to implement the proposal should it be passed into law.

In seeking the bill’s passage, Tiangco said some lawmakers have been remiss in their duty to attend sessions religiously despite laws requiring them to do their job as government offi cials “with utmost devotion and dedication to duty.”

He noted that the lawmakers’ attendance continue to be a problem even when House of Representatives leaders in previous Congresses shortened the number of session days per week from four to three, with Thursday remaining a free day for legislators to visit their districts.

Tiangco said the bill’s passage will “promote professional-ism, dedication to duty and effi ciency in the performance of duty” since the lawmakers’ presence is required to represent the people and give their constituents a vote in Congress.

MANILA, July 6 (Mabuhay) – Senator Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan II lamented on Wednesday the “trial by publicity” on the fi ve former and active police generals earli-er named by President Rodrigo Duterte as coddlers of drug lords.

In a statement, Honasan emphasized that due process and the rule of law should prevail.

“The names are immaterial as long as due process and the rule of law are applied; and until the fi nal verdict on their guilt or innocence, they should not be subjected to trial by publicity dahil kawawa naman ang mga pamilya at anak na walang kinalaman dito,” he said.

Honasan issued the statement even as fellow Senator Panfi lo Lacson said that he had no reason to doubt the validity of the in-formation of the President in naming the top cops allegedly involved in illegal drugs trade.

Lacson said that Duterte must have had “good basis” in divulging the names of the generals.

“All I’m saying is, since the President

himself mentioned those two names among the fi ve, he must have good basis in what he divulged, especially if he had a different source of that information,” Lacson said on Wednesday.

Lacson said that he received information on two of the fi ve generals during the cam-paign period.

In his speech during the 69th anniversary of the Air Force, Duterte named retired Dep-uty Director General Marcelo Garbo; retired Chief Supt. and now Daanbantayan town mayor Vicente Loot; Chief Supt. Joel Pag-dilao; Chief Supt. Edgardo Tinio; and Chief Supt. Bernardo Diaz as drug lord coddlers.

“I am compelled by my sense of duty to tell you everything, especially the policemen who are involved in drugs. One way or another [they are] contributing to the deterioration of the law and order of the country,” Duterte said.

All fi ve generals denied the President’s claim. They told separate interviews that they were willing to face any investigation to clear their names.(MNS)

MANILA, July 6 (Mabuhay) – Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Superintendent Edgardo Tinio on Wednesday said he was publicly humiliated when President Rodrigo Duterte dropped his name as one of the po-lice offi cials allegedly involved in the illegal drug trade.

Tinio said Duterte’s claims have put him in public humiliation.

“Alam ninyo naman po, nakakahiya ‘yang nangyari na ‘yan. Ang nangyari po ay public humiliation at trial by publicity,” Tinio said.

Tinio stressed that the information Dute-rte might have gotten from his sources and other police offi cials should have been verifi ed fi rst before calling out their names in public.

“Sana bago po niya tinuran ‘yung mga salita na yun, bago po kami binilad sa kahi-hiyan, dapat po sana vinalidate maigi ‘yung kaniyang impormasyon. Kaya willing po ako humarap sa kahit sino mang impormante ng Presidente, kung sino mang opisyal ang nagsabing ako ay involved sa illegal drugs,” he said.

During his speech at the 69th anniversa-ry of the Philippine Air Force on Tuesday, Duterte drop the names of 5 police generals

allegedly invovled in illegal drug operations including Tinio, Vicente Loot, Bernardo Diaz, Marcelo Garbo Jr., and Joel Pagdilao.

Tinio challenged PNP chief Director Gen-eral Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa to investigate the matter immediately, as he expressed willingness to cooperate with the proceedings to clear his name.

“Ako po kaya kong humarap mata-mata, tumingin kahit kanino na malinis ang kon-sensya. I have never been involved in illegal drugs, in any shenanigans,” he said.

“Imestigahan po ang dapat imbestigahan. Malaman po sana, and we get to the bottom of these cases. And linisin po ang pangalan ng mga hindi talaga sangkot sa illegal drugs,” he added.

At the same time, Tinio stressed that he was never involved in any illegal drug oper-ations even when he was only a low-ranked police offi cer.

“Yung aking maybahay, alam niya ang pagkatao ko. Hindi ko sila pinakain ng galing sa illegal drugs. I never dipped my fi ngers sa illegal drugs. Mula noong ako po ay 2nd lieu-tenant pinangalagaan ko po ang pangalan ko,” he said. (MNS)

MANILA, July 6 (Mabuhay) – The busi-ness process outsourcing (BPO) sector contin-ues to be a major growth driver of Philippine economy, but the economic managers of the Duterte administration are not keen on re-lying too much on the sector as technological advancements may lead to a decline in its contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP).

“Secretary Dominguez is raising concerns on BPO. We should not be too reliant on BPO. It might change in the future,” newly-ap-pointed Budget and Management Secretary Benjamin Diokno told reporters in a briefi ng in Pasay City.

Finance Secretary Carlos “Sonny” Domin-guez III said the country has to prepare and make sure that the economy will not be af-fected in case the demand for manpower will no longer be as robust as it is now.

Although this may not be in the immediate future, manpower may be taken over by arti-

fi cial intelligence, the Cabinet offi cial noted.“We just want to make sure we are pre-

pared if there are any breakthrough de-velopments in new technology for artifi cial intelligence,” Dominguez said.

Data from the Philippine Statistics Au-thority (PSA) showed the services sector, which includes BPO, was the main driver for the fi rst quarter gross domestic product (GDP). Services accelerate by 7.9 percent in January to March from 5.5 percent year-on-year.

“The strength of both the industry and services sector once again shows the ongoing structural transformation taking place in our economy, which is crucial for sustaining economic growth and generating quality jobs,” then-Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Emmanuel Esguerra said.

In 2015, the services sector contributed 4.1 percentage points to the total GDP growth of 5.8 percent.

MANILA, July 7 (Mabuhay) -- The head of the Philippine National Police (PNP) said Thursday he was against vigi-lantes as he reminded his men at the forefront of President Rodrigo Duterte’s relentless anti-narcotics campaign to mount only “legitimate” operations.

Since Duterte’s election victory on May 9, roughly 120 drug suspects, including alleged Cebu kingpin Jeffrey “Jaguar” Diaz, have been killed by police and there will be “more to come,” Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa said.

Dela Rosa sought to allay rights groups’ fears that the wave of killings would inspire vigilantes. “Ayaw ko vigilante. Gusto ko legitimate police operation lang ang mangyayari.”

“Pag ganun papasok mga vigilante, ano mangyayari? Anybody can be killed anytime without due process,” he said.

Police have said that the drug suspects who were killed were shot by police because they resisted arrest and fought back.

“Magiging normal ‘yan pag normal din na lumalaban ang mga suspect. Ang importante diyan, buhay ang ating pulis pag sila nagcoconduct ng operations,” he said.

But Dela Rosa also cautioned his men against abusing their authority.

“Ayusin nila trabaho nila. Dapat malinis trabaho nila na hindi sila gagawa ng kalokohan,” he said.

President Rodrigo Duterte is hell bent in doing everything with-in his power to get the job done in eradicating the serious illegal drug problem in the Philippines.Everybody must have been jolted by Duterte’s bold decision to name the fi ve police generals allegedly involved in illegal drug trade in the country.This is a good sign that Duterte is really determined in implementing drastic changes in the country as far as peace and order is concerned.

Named as either drug lords or pro-tectors of drug lords in their respective turfs were Police Generals Joel Pag-dilao, Edgardo Tinio Bernardo Diaz, Marcelo Garbo and Vicente Loot.As expected, the pol ice gen-erals denied having anything to do with illegal drugs. They also denied coddling suspected drug lords in their respective areas.President Digong should order his investigators to look into the bank accounts of these generals to fi nd out if they were able to ac-cumulate huge amounts of money from the illegal drugs business.Garbo and Loot have retired from the police service. Loot is now a town mayor in Cebu. Generals Tinio and Diaz have been identifi ed as being close to losing presidential candidate Mar Roxas. They were seen by the media having a conference with Rox-as shortly before they May 9 elections at the Novitel hotel in Quezon City.Sources were saying that had Roxas won the presidency, Tinio would have been his choice to be his PNP chief. Good thing Roxas lost.President “Digong” must have in his possession a great deal of evidence to sort through, or else he would not have named or shamed in public

the fi ve police generals. He now has gotten the attention of the people regarding his seriousness in eradi-cating criminality and the prolifer-ation of illegal drugs in the country as he had promised throughout his presidential campaign in May.The public is now eagerly awaiting his announcement in naming three provincial governors and 32 city and town mayors reportedly involved in illegal drugs. These local offi cials, he was told by his reliable informants, were either drug users or drug lords or were protecting drug syndicates in their respective areas.

I expect President Digong to name these erring local officials within the next few weeks as he embark on a more aggressive campaign against drug syndicates operating almost in all parts of the Philippines.President Digong should also look into the possible involvement of two senators rumored to have strong ties with big time drug lords. He should also look into the possible involve-ment of movie personalities in the illegal drugs business since most of them are drug users.

There is no doubt that President Digong knows what he is doing since he is a lawyer and was once a government prosecutor before he became mayor of Davao City.Although I know one of these days that he will start implementing dra-

conian measures against the prolif-eration of drugs as well as in going after big time drug lords,

I hope President Digong’s all out campaign against criminality will be conducted within the bounds of law.However, I still see an uphill battle the Duterte administration will face in its effort to put behind bars all these drug lords and erring govern-ment and polio ex offi cials involved in illegal drugs.

It is no secret that the drug business in the country has not only corrupted government of-ficials but the judiciary ax well.President Digong should also start investigating fi scal and judges sus-pected of coddling drug lords in their areas. As a warning to other police offi cers, President Digong ordered

PNP Chief De la Rosa to immediately relieve the three active PNP generals and conduct further investigation to strengthen the criminal case against the erring police offi cials.The DILG as well as the Nation-al Police Commission will also conduct separate probe on the five police generals. These err-ing police generals, once convicted if found guilty, will be forfeiting their retirement benefi ts and other perks entitled to a police general.This should serve as a warning to other government offi cials and police offi cers who have been in cahoots with drug lords for a number of years.Duterte’s campaign against drug syndicates will be a major factor in eradicating, if not minimizing crimi-nality in the country.

Digong declares war on illegal drugs

By Jelly F. MusicoMANILA, July 6 (PNA) – Senator Panfi lo Lacson has fi led a bill seek-

ing to fi nally stop the disturbing scenario of inmates at the New Bilibid Prison continuing to enjoy perks ranging from cash to drugs to gadgets and fi rearms and even fi ghting cocks and exotic pets.

Lacson’s Senate Bill No. 46 proposes stiffer penalties, including impris-onment of 20 to 40 years and a fi ne of PHP10 million, for visitors who try to bring in fi rearms or ammunition to an inmate.

According to Lacson’s proposal, attempts to bring in other contraband may mean an imprisonment of six to 12 years and a fi ne of PHPP1 million and those who try to assist in smuggling fi rearms or ammunition may face imprisonment of 12 to 20 years and a fi ne of PHP5 million.

Lacson lamented that the continued enjoyment by inmates of such perks has given Philippine corrections authorities’ image a black eye.

Under his proposed law, the prison guards and offi cials who would allow such items into the penitentiary would also be facing stiffer penalties.

“A stiff penalty is required in this circumstance in order to instill fear and be an effective deterrence to those contemplating of doing this crime in the future. More importantly, the said penalty applies as well to gov-ernment offi cials or employees who cooperate or co-opt with the inmate or other private persons involved therein,” he said.

Lacson wants PHP10-M fi ne for visitors who will try to bring fi rearms inside New Bilibid Prison

LOS ANGELES - New U.S. Census Bureau population estimates released on Thursday, June 23 show that the Asian American population is the fast-est growing racial group nationwide. Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Los Angeles’ analysis of the data shows that between 2010 and 2015, the number of Asian Americans grew 19%; during this same time period total overall popula-tion growth was only 4%. There are now about 21 million Asian Americans living in the United States. Native Hawaiians and Pacifi c Islanders (NHPI) are now the second fastest growing racial group, growing 13% to 1.5 million.

The new mid-decade Census data show that while certain states like California, Texas, New York, Wash-ington, and New Jersey continue to have large Asian American popula-tions, other states such as North Da-kota, South Dakota, Iowa, Montana, and Indiana have some of the fastest growing Asian American populations.Asian American population growth also

continues to outpace growth among other racial groups. For example, Asian American numeric growth exceeded that of Latinos in four states – Minnesota, Michigan, Vermont, and Washington.While the largest NHPI populations con-tinue to grow in Hawai’i and California, the NHPI community in Arkansas re-mains one of the fastest growing. Over the past fi ve years, the NHPI population in Ar-kansas has increased 30% to over 11,000.“Asian Americans and NHPI live in every state in the nation,” said Stew-art Kwoh, executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Los An-geles. “It is important that local social service providers build the capacity to serve these emerging communities.”According to the Census Bureau, much of the growth among the Asian Ameri-can population is due to net migration, while other racial groups are expe-riencing natural population growth.“Asian Americans are a disproportion-ately immigrant community, comprised of over 30 distinct ethnic groups.

By Abner Galino and Joy MarinoHERE’S an item for travelers to

the Philippines:If you’ve been there any time

since December 1, 2015 and up to the time that you are reading this news, or you are on your way there from now until November 30, 2016, sharing your photos taken while in the Philippines could get you a free return trip.

The Philippine Department of Tourism-Los Angeles and Majestic Vacations along with Philippine Airlines as major sponsor, just launched an online promotional campaign dubbed as:

“Philippine Travel Gems” Face-book Photo Contest. One need not be an expert photographer. In fact, your tried and tested phones, whatever make they are, can actually compete with the rest of photography equipment or gadgets

around.“If your I-phones, or Samsung,

or whatever it is, can do (shoot pics) it, then you’re in,” DOT-LA Tourism director Richmond Jimenez announced during a press conference at the Leelin Bakery and Cafe in Cerritos on Wednes-day.

Well, only two things could ac-tually disqualify one from winning the prizes: one, if the photos sub-mitted were not taken during the specifi ed time frame (December 1, 2015 to November 30, 2016). And two, if the photos submitted were digitally altered or enhanced.

Also, the photos should bear no watermarks, signatures and

other markings.“If we fi nd out that the photo is

photoshopped, you would have to pay back your round-trip tickets,” Manny Ilagan of the Majestic Va-

PAL Account Manager Ricky Panis (from left), PDOTLA Operations Offi cer Fay Castro, PAL-LA Manager Ma.Theresa Garces, GTT Int’l Re’gl Director Eliza Chung, PDOTLA Director Richmond Jimenez, and Majestic Vacations Director Manny Ilagan.

Best FB photos can win free Philippine vacationcations jested during the media briefi ng. PAL-Los Angeles manag-er Tess Garces said the fi rst prize round-trip ticket to the Philippines also comes with a two (2) nights accommodation in a fi ve-star hotel in the Philippines.

They will also be giving away an iPad Air for the runner-up and another a two (2) nights accom-modation in a fi ve-star hotel in Manila for the owner of the most liked or shared photo.

Jimenez said the contest is about creating an opportunity for Philippine travelers to share their beautiful experiences in the Philip-pines through photographs, adding that by doing so, travelers help in promoting the country as among the prime tourist destinations in the world.

In related development, Menard Leelin, one of the owners of Leelin Bakery and Cafe, told the crowd that their restaurant chain has been actively promoting tourism to the Philippines through culinary arts. He announced the “Leelin VIP Loyalty Rewards Sweepstakes 2016-2017 that will be drawn in January 2017. First prize is two (2) roundtrip tickets to the Philippines plus Kulinarya Tour for two(2), courtesy of PDOT-LA and other major prizes.

“Last year, we were able to bring 50 people to the Philippines -- to visit Boracay and Coron in Pala-wan. And this year, we are going to

bring in another 50 people to visit our homeland. Our hearts remain with our motherland even if we have been here for a long time. We are happy to be part of this promotion,” Leelin said.

There is no registration fee to enter the contest. Participants must be able to provide proof that he or she has traveled to the Phil-ippines at anytime from December 1, 2015 to November 30, 2016. Proof of travel could be copies of stamp on the passport upon entry to the Philippines, hotel registra-tion and related receipts.

Each entry should have a title and a caption of at least 3 to 5 sen-tences describing when and where the photo was taken and what makes the place an exceptional tourist destination.

Entries must also bear the name of the entrant, address, contact number and email address.

A panel selected by the DOT-LA, Majestic Vacations, and Philippine Airlines will select the winner based on the following criteria:

a. Substance, impact and cre-ativity: 50%

b. Composition, clarity and tech-nical quality: 50%

Entries will be accepted begin-ning July 1, 2016 up to Novem-ber 30, 2016. Entries should be emailed to: [email protected]. For contest details, visit www.facebook.com/PhilippineTourismLA.

paid due to a BK fi lling over a year ago. Since they did not collect the caller neglected the payment and fi -nally got notice of intent to foreclose. The lender did their homework and realizes that being in second position of this property will still benefi t them if they foreclose due to the ample eq-uity. My recommendation is for the borrowers to sell an existing rental property that they own and pay off/down the second mortgage on their current residence. Refi nancing is not an option due to the BK and the mortgage lates.

Caller: I currently have a 30 years loan that I have been paying on for about 9 years at 4.5% interest rate. I have a lot of equity and would like to know if it is worthwhile for me to refi nance the loan, I took out some fund for home improvements from my credit card with 0% interest for 10 months.

Ken Go: You’re in a sweet situ-ation now having yourself a lot of equity, I am sure a lot of people will love to trade places with you. You’re at an age where you probably want to think about retiring and would be oppose to starting your loan over again for 30 years. So, I will suggest a 20 year loan fi xed for you, I am also suggesting for you to payoff the credit card balance of 25,000, I don’t care if that is zero interest. You will still need to pay it off when time comes. Because you will stay in this house

for long term and you want a lower payment, I am suggesting for a no points loan and for you to pick up your own escrow and title cost. You will save about $200.00 and not have to start a 30 year mortgage again.

Recommendation: DO IT NOW!Caller: I am a single mom that

works as a CNA making about $4,000.00 a month, I am selling a piece of property in the Philippines that will net me close to $150,000.00. I would like to buy a house and pay off some debts. Please advise me on what is the price range I can qualify for and where I should be buying. My two grandchildren will also be im-migrating to the US to live with me.

Ken: I congratulated her for being able to hold on to a piece and real estate and selling it for a profi t. How-ever, due to her income and her debts, I can only qualify this caller to buy a property around $200,000.00 that will leave her with about $50,000.00 of her net proceed from the sale of the land overseas. Due to her age and added responsibility that she will have to care for I am advising her to just rent in a better area with a good to descent school district for her grandchildren. I am afraid that because she cannot find anything descent for $200K to buy that will ensure her grandchildren good ed-ucation, renting would be a better option for her now. If she buys and almost deplete all her savings just to

own a house, she might be stretching herself too thin. Homeownership comes with a lot of responsibilities towards the property that will cost money. Her income is very limited, especially if she is expecting to sup-port more family member staying with her.

Recommendation: RENT first and keep your funds in an interest earning Mutual funds and buy a house later when the market retreats and your new family members are settled in.

Caller: I have a 1st mortgage of $350,000.00 at 4.75% 30 years fi xed and I have a second loan at 8% for $60,000.00. I would like to see my payments become lower, I have good credit and I have a good job.

Ken: Your property value is right around $ 410,000.00. Your paying a combination of $2482.77 for both. Your property value is just about worth exactly how much you owe now

on your mortgage. Unfortunately you are neither a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan therefore will not qualify for the HARP refi nancing. Since your second mortgage was included in your previous bankruptcy 7 I would suggest for you to try to negotiate a settlement pay off with them. You have some savings that you can offer the second lender to wipe out this debt, since you are already slightly behind on the payment this would be a good time to ask for a settlement payoff.

Recommendation: Call your lend-er to settle on the second mortgage that is included in your BK 7 previ-ously. Rates are down, I recommend for you to start to inquire about a refi nancing without cost.

I could be reach at 562-508-7048 anytime or at the offi ce 562-697-7028 or write to me at [email protected]. Don’t delay CALL NOW. BRE 01021223 NMLS 238636

Refi nancing opportunity is back rates down to all time lowsCaller: I am behind on my pay-

ment for a second mortgage, can I refi nance my home, I have a lot of equity and would like to stay in this house.

Ken: After reviewing their situa-tion, this caller is actually in a good position. The second lender was not

MANILA, July 6 (Mabuhay) – The “Bahay Pangarap” in Mala-cañang will be the offi cial residence of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Christopher “Bong” Go, newly appointed head of the Presidential Management Staff, said on Wednesday that Duterte would start moving in next week..

The Bahay Pangarap is situated within the Presidential Security Group compound across the Pasig River from Malacañang.

Located near the presidential golf course, Bahay Pangarap is described as having a “resort ambience,” complete with a swimming pool and a Balinese-style garden. It was renovated to add three more bedrooms to the existing master bedroom.

TORRANCE, Calif. Jun 24, 2016 – New Sport Special Edition adds premium features in a value package

Sporty and sophisticated styl-ing returns with popular features including Honda Sensing™, Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™

More powerful and fuel-effi cient 2017 Accord Hybrid launched earlier this month

The 2017 Accord Sedan and Coupe hit showrooms this Monday with a new Sport Special Edition, ready to continue Accord’s three-year streak as the most popular car in America with individual retail car buyers. Retaining many of the popular en-hancements introduced last year, the 2017 Accord will be available start-ing June 27 at Honda dealerships nationwide with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) start-ing at $22,3551.

The 2017 Accord Sedan and Coupe are available in a variety of trims, with 4-cylinder and V6 powertrains, 6-speed manual and 6-speed auto-matic transmissions, and a contin-uously variable transmission. For 2017 Honda is introducing the Accord Sport Special Edition sedan with pre-mium features consisting of leather seats with red stitching, heated seats and “Special Edition” badge. The signifi cantly refreshed 2017 Accord Hybrid, featuring a new version of Honda’s two-motor hybrid powertrain technology with both class-leading power and fuel economy ratings, rounds out the 2017 Accord lineup as it launched earlier this month.

The Accord received significant

upgrades for the 2016 model year, including dynamic new styling, a more rigid body, upgraded chassis and upsized wheels and tires on select models. The 2017 Accord carries over the expanded LED exterior lighting and premium features and technolo-gies of the 2016 model, including the available 7-inch Display Audio touch-screen offered with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, HD Radio®, heated rear seats, and front and rear parking sensors. The Accord also can be equipped with Honda Sensing™, among the most comprehensive suites of advanced safety and driver-assis-tive technologies in its class.

“Accord continues to set the bar in its class with customers making it the top retail selling car in America for three years running,” said Jeff Con-rad, vice president Honda division. “We’re proud to offer an expanded lineup with the new Sport Special

Edition and the 2017 Accord Hybrid as we continue to advance Accord’s position as a true benchmark in its class, offering an unbeatable combi-nation of style, effi ciency, fun-to-drive performance and connectivity in the midsize sedan segment.”

The 2017 Accord Sedan and Coupe, with Honda’s next-generation Ad-vanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, has received the highest available crash safety ratings from the U.S. government – a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway and Traffi c Safety Administration (NHTSA) – and targets a top rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), when equipped with Honda Sensing technology.

Although a Honda is a Honda wherever you see one, Filipinos fl ock to Carson Honda because of the friendly Filipino staff at the deal-ership and of course because of the service our kababayans provide.

One of them, Rohmer Manalese, has even earned the “Best in Cus-tomer Satisfaction,”an honor he keeps consistently, along with the three other Filipino sales staff in the persons of Ricky Agagas, Terzo Pallen and Christian Reyes, all of

Outlander among Kelley Blue Book’s ‘most affordable three-row vehicles’

N A S H V I L L E , Tenn. – The 2016 N i s s a n M u r a n o has just received its second major award from the ed-itors of U.S. News & World Report – “Best 2-Row SUV for Families.” In Feb-ruary, Murano was named one of the magazine’s “Best Cars for the Money.”

The latest honor is part of U.S. News & World Re-port’s annual Best Cars for Fami-lies awards program, which combines professional automotive reviews, safety and reliability ratings, seating and cargo volume and the availability of family-friendly features informa-tion to determine winners within each of 21 automotive categories.

In selecting Murano as the top choice in the 2-row SUV category, the editors wrote: “Though the 2016 Nissan Murano’s price qualifi es it as an affordable midsize SUV, reviewers say its cabin offers a near-luxury level of refi nement. With the best combination of positive reviews and long-term ownership costs in its class, the Nissan Murano is our 2016 Best 2-Row SUV for the Money. The Murano, however, isn’t just a great value. It’s also our Best 2-Row SUV for Families because it has the lead-ing combination of interior space,

available family-friendly features, and safety and reliability ratings in its class.”

“Nissan is honored by the continuing recogni-tion of our new Murano by the editors of U.S. News & World Report,” said Dan Mohnke, vice president, Nissan Chief Marketing Manager & Marketing Operations. “Consumers seem to be in agreement with the

publication’s assessment – sales of Murano are on fi re in 2016, increas-ing more than 85 percent in February and more than 65 percent for year, compared to the same periods in 2015.”

About the 2016 Nissan MuranoAs the halo vehicle for Nissan’s

wide range of bold crossovers and SUVs, the 2016 Murano expresses Nissan’s advanced design direc-tion – including its V-motion front end, LED boomerang lights and the unique “fl oating” roof.

The stunning exterior design carries into the interior, which of-fers an engaging social lounge feel through features such as the refi ned instrument panel, low center console, advanced Zero Gravity front and outboard rear seating, and the airy atmosphere created by the large win-dows and oversized Power Panoramic Moonroof.

Available technology features include NissanConnectSM with Navigation, 8-inch color display with multi-touch control, Around View® Monitor, 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support, SiriusXM®Satellite Radio and Trav-el Link® (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately), Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Ignition, iPod® interface, 11-speaker Bose® (including dual subwoofers) premium audio system, and Blue-tooth® Hands-free Phone System.

Responsive driving is provided by a standard 3.5-liter DOHC V6 connected to an advanced Xtronic transmission. Murano is available in front-wheel drive or Intuitive All-Wheel Drive. Fuel economy increased around 20 percent from the previous generation Murano, thanks in part to reduced weight (approximately 145 pounds), low rolling resistance tires, active grille shutter, low 0.31 Cd, underbody covers that enhance underbody airfl ow and improvements to the Xtronic transmission

Available technologies include Moving Object Detection (MOD), Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Pre-dictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW), Forward Emergency Brak-ing (FEB) and Driver Attention Alert (DAA)*. The Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) system utilizes radar to de-tect a moving vehicle behind the Mu-rano approaching from either side.

The 2016 Murano is offered in four trim levels – S, SV, SL and Platinum – and in a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. A number of option packages are offered for the well-equipped Murano: Technology Package (SL, Platinum), Navigation Package (S) and Premium Package (SV), along with premium paint and unique 18-inch and 20-inch alumi-num-alloy wheel packages.
