•Have you experienced a dramatic drop in income?

•Are you frequently late paying bills?

•Do you only pay the minimum on your credit cards?

•Are you unable to make even the minimum payments?

•Do you have to sacrifi ce basic necessities to make ends meet?

•Are you paying more money than you make on basic living expenses?

•Are you losing sleep at night won-dering how you’re going to make it?

•Have you bounced more than one check in the last two months?

•Are your wages currently, or in jeopardy of, being garnished?

•Have you recently become sick, or partially or totally disabled?

•Are you going through a divorce resulting in a decrease of income but an increase in expenses?

People with high incomes and even higher debts can also qualify for debt relief through bankruptcy. If your answer to one or more of the above questions was a “Yes”, you should call me immediately. I can help you.

Bankruptcy chapter 7 or 13 can eliminate your debt and give you a fresh start to rebuild your credit within a relatively short period of time. A clean slate is the ultimate tool of empowerment. It enables you to take back control of your fi nances, and plan for the future. A good night’s sleep may also be one of the benefi ts of “getting your life back together again”, and that is worth a lot.

For many people, the decision to pursue bankruptcy protection is not easy to make. Somehow, you want to save face and “do the right thing.” You continue to struggle along while your creditors turn up the heat. Pretty soon, with all the late fees, penalties and mounting interest, it becomes impossible to keep your head above water. You feel you are drowning, and fi nancially, you prob-ably are.

Your next step is to talk to a qual-ifi ed bankruptcy attorney to assess your rights and determine if bank-ruptcy is right for you. Bankruptcy is not for everyone, but you need to be an informed consumer to make the right decision. Don’t you think it’s time to take a good hard look at your own fi nancial situation? Taking a close look at the bottom line takes courage, but it’s a necessity. Don’t wait until your wages are being gar-nished or your car is repossessed. You and your family deserve better. Be proactive and resolve the situation now.

Even if you are in the early stag-es of experiencing mounting debt problems, call my offi ce today. As an experienced bankruptcy attorney, I can help separate panic from reality

and assist you in identifying all of your options. You may even fi nd out that you have more options than you thought!

•So what happens, when your attorney fi les a Bankruptcy on your behalf?

Before fi ling your case, the law requires that you receive a briefi ng from a certified credit-counseling agency to explain financial man-agement to you, alternatives to bankruptcy, and how to do a budget analysis. Although there are some hardship exceptions to this rule, most debtors will have to get this briefi ng. Our offi ce subscribes to an approved online service provider, and we set you up with the necessary login information. This usually takes less than 30 minutes and can be done at home or in our offi ce.

Next, your attorney fi les the peti-tion in local bankruptcy court. When this occurs, the court appoints a bankruptcy trustee to your case and an “Automatic Stay” is entered. This is a court order prohibiting all cred-itors from taking any further action against you outside of bankruptcy court. This action is designed to:

•Stop harassing calls and bills from creditors

•Protect your property from sei-zure

•Prohibit or suspend creditor law-suits against you

•Prevent foreclosure of your home •Stop wage garnishments •Block the repossession of your

automobile.The automatic stay can be waived

if the creditor is a government agency, or has a security interest in real or personal property, such as a mortgage or auto loan. However, they do have to fi le a court motion to lift the stay, which gives you and your attorney time to consider various options, including a possible loan modification, or amortizing delin-quent payments through a chapter 13 plan over fi ve years, or both.

Bankruptcy will eliminate all unsecured debt. This includes credit card debt, medical bills, personal loans, judgments resulting from car accidents, defi ciencies on repossessed vehicles, Payday loans and even some older income taxes, provided it meets very specifi c criteria. However, you will still be liable for debts on Child support, Taxes, and Student loans.

If you need help in resolving your fi nancial problems, easing that debt load, and want to improve your credit scores, call the bankruptcy lawyer that people trust. Call the Law Offi ces of Paul M. Allen and 818-552-4500 and schedule a free consultation. Three convenient loca-tions to serve you: Glendale, Cerritos and La Palma.

Is bankruptcy the right thing to do?Ask yourself the following:•Are you heavily in debt, with

little prospect of relief in the near future?

•Have you had, or are your cred-itors threatening, a foreclosure on your home, a repossession of your car or other legal action to take your property?

By Jelly F. MusicoMANILA, June 21 (PNA) – The

Federation of the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCII) supports the emergen-cy powers being asked by incoming President Rodrigo Duterte.

The influential business group, however, said in its letters to in-coming House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez that the emergency powers should cover not only traffi c prob-lem but the crime, corruption and illegal drugs. “By granting our pres-ident-elect emergency powers, he

would be able to address the above issues, instill discipline among our people, and set the policies needed to protect and promote the interest of our citizens,” said Angel Ngu, FF-CCII president, in a letter dated May 27, 2016 to Alvarez.

Duterte won by a landslide during the May 9 presidential election on a platform anchored on taking a tough stand against criminality, especially the menace of illegal drugs, as well as in combating graft and corruption in government. He is set to assume presidency on June 30.

MANILA, June 23 (Mabuhay) – An anti-crime watchdog on Thursday raised questions about the rising number of drug-related arrests and killings in the Philippines, saying some police offi cers may be going overboard and not targeting the “big fi sh” in the war against drugs.

“Masyadong substantial, hindi be-lievable,” Arsenio “Boy” Evangelista, spokesperson of the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption, said.

“Parang sumobra, naging moro-mo-ro, sarsuwela.” Evangelista said that while the efforts are appreciated, the PNP should also focus on high value targets in the drug war. “Ang gusto po namin, makita dito ‘yung mismong mga law enforcers. ‘Yung mga men in uniform na lumalaban sa kanila, napa-patay nila na involved sa mga illegal drugs... mga high profile targets na gusto nating makita,” he said.

At least 40 drug suspects have been killed since President-elect Rodrigo Duterte’s May 9 election victory, com-pared with the 39 deaths recorded in the four months before it.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) said there have been over 3,700 drug-re-lated arrests from May 10 to June 15, 2016. Duterte has vowed an intensifi ed campaign against the drug menace and has given government authorities three to six months to curb criminality all over the country. Evangelista also questioned why so many drug suspects are killed allegedly after trying to seize the guns of arresting offi cers.

Police data earlier showed Central Luzon has the most number of drug suspects killed at 25, followed by Davao Region, Soccsksargen (South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani. General Santos City), Central Visayas and Metro Manila.

MANILA, June 23 (Mabuhay) – The Revised Anti-Carnapping Act, which imposes stiffer penalties for the perpetrators of carnapping, is now up for President Aquino’s approval.

House Bill 4544, authored by re-elected Reps. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (2nd District, Pampanga), Evelina Escudero (1st District, Sorsogon) and Winston Castelo (2nd District, Quezon City), aims to increase the years of imprisonment for carjackers and gives a more elaborate description of who can be considered as violators of the anti-carnapping law.

Under the proposed measure, the person guilty of the crime regardless of the vehicle’s value shall be imprisoned for 20 years but not more than 30 years. The current anti-carnapping law only imposes 14 to 17 years and four months of imprisonment.

When the crime is committed without violence, imprisonment years shall be 30 up to 40 years while carnapping with violence shall be life imprisonment as the penalty.

HB 4544 also entails carnapping as a non-bailable offense especially if the evidence of guilt is strong.

The bill also adds punishment from six to 12 years imprisonment to persons who participate in the concealment of the crime.

Public offi cials and government employees who are involved are also subject to dismissal in service and shall be perpetually disqualifi ed from holding any public offi ce if found guilty.

The revised measure also requires any person asking for the original registration of the vehicle to apply for clearance from the Philippine Na-tional Police (PNP) with the Land Transportation Offi ce (LTO).

MANILA, June 23 (Mabuhay) – Vice President-elect Leni Robredo will be sworn in at the Quezon City Reception House, where she will hold offi ce.

The inauguration will be held at 9 a.m. of June 30, her camp announced on Thursday.

“Minabuti nating sundan ang ginawa ni President-elect Rodrigo Duterte, na nagpasyang gawin ang kaniyang inagurasyon sa Mala-cañang, kung saan siya mag-o-opisi-na. Kaya gagawin natin ang inaugu-ral sa Quezon City Reception House, na siyang magiging opisyal na opisi-na ng ating pangalawang pangulo,” said Boyet Dy, Robredo’s chief of staff and head of the transition committee.

A short program will be held for the event. Robredo will be sworn in by two barangay captains: Rolando Coner of Punta Tarawal, the “small-est, farthest, and poorest” barangay in the third district of Camarines Sur, and Regina Celeste San Miguel of Barangay Mariana, where the QC

Reception House is located.Robredo’s camp assured the public

that the ceremonies will likewise be “simple,” taking the cue from that of Duterte.

Only around 300 guests are ex-pected in Robredo’s inauguration.

Aside from family, Dy said the vice president-elect asked that rep-resentatives from sectors she has worked with as a lawyer be present at the event.

“Pinakabilin niya is tiyakin na ‘yung bawat sektor na matagal niyang nakasama at pinagsilbihan bilang abugado ay nandoon,” Dy said. “[Kasama diyan ang] kababaihan, magsasaka, mangingisda, mang-gagawa.”

Dy also noted that there will be free seating at the inauguration.

“Wala pong seat plan,” he said. “Free seating po ito. Ang bahagi ng mensahe is, this is the inauguration na magpapatibay sa kung anong pangalawang pangulo ang gustong maging ni Vice President Robredo,

at ‘yun ay ang maglingkod sa mga nasa laylayan.”

Dy said the inauguration com-mittee is fi nalizing the guest list for

the event, and there is no word yet whether Robredo’s running-mate, former Interior Sec. Mar Roxas, will be attending the ceremonies. (MNS)

Simple inauguration for Robredo at QC Reception House

By Christopher Lloyd T. CaliwanMANILA, June 13 (PNA) – Incom-

ing Chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Supt. Ronald Dela Rosa will resign after six months if he fails to reduce criminality and drugs in the country.

Dela Rosa would personally ask President-elect Rodrigo Duterte to sack and replace him if he fails to stop the proliferation of illegal drugs with-in the three-to-six months target.

“I will step down if you see me as a failure. If I will not deliver a good result in six months. I will surrender and I will tell him (Duterte): ‘I cannot do it, please release me, let me go’,”

Dela Rosa said in an interview at Camp Crame in Quezon City.

Dela Rosa aims to accomplish the anti-criminality and drugs campaign within the three to six months time-frame and he will make every effort to attain.

The center piece of the Duterte ad-ministration is peace and order and the plan to reduce criminality and corruption within the said time frame

Dela Rosa is set to focus on elim-inating drugs while reducing other forms of crime as well.

“ We need to get rid of those fi rst then at the same time, we need to eliminate all other forms of crime,”

he said.While admitting that he is indeed

a junior compared to the other qual-ifi ed senior police offi cers, dela Rosa said what he could offer is his sin-cerity as head of the national police organization.

Dela Rosa said he would replicate the peace and order strategies which he developed and implemented in Davao City in various police offi ces across the country.And part of it is a regular assessment of the perfor-mance of the police commanders, from regional directors to town police chiefs, to determine if they still have to stay on the job.

“Three months after their ap-pointment, we will evaluate their performance if they measure up on the expectation of the public,” said dela Rosa.

According to Dela Rosa they will conduct a lifestyle check among the force to remove offi cials involved in illegal activities. “We will do every approach – legal or illegal – to stop these offi cials from doing just the same act over again,” he insisted.

The incoming PNP Chief said that he also wanted the station com-manders of each police station to be more engaged in the fi eld to help the reduction of petty crimes.

Incoming PNP Chief vows to resign if he fails to reduce criminality, drugs within 3-6 months

DAVAO CITY, June 22 (Mabu-hay) – Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founder Jose Maria Sison said Tuesday the Left will maximize the use of the three Cabinet positions being offered by President-elect Rodrigo Duterte.

Duterte designated nominees of the Left to the departments of agrarian reform, social welfare and development, and labor and employment, signaling a warming of ties between the communist movement and the Philippine government under the new leader.

Sison said the DSWD portfolio, given to professor Judy Taguiwalo, could be used to implement social reforms as well as protect the Duterte presidency.

“Kung halimbawa nanganganib ang gobyerno ni President Duterte, sa lahat ng nasa department na nasa kaliwa pwede yang magpa-kilos ng kabataan,” he said.

“Halimbawa, ang mga kabata-ang magsasaka pwedeng pakilusin para ipagtanggol ang Duterte government kung siya ay gustong ibagsak ng mga cacique o mga for-eign plantation owners,” he added.

He said DAR secretary-desig-nate Rafael Mariano will have to deal with agrarian reform laws which he believes are in contradic-tion with the advocacy of the CPP.

Sison said the country’s land reform program is oppressive as it requires benefi ciaries to pay for land redistribution.

He said the government must relieve the poor farmers of the

burden of paying for land redistri-bution by expropriating the parcels of land.

“May challenge, may hamon na magtulak ng panibagong batas para maging tunay ang reporma sa lupa,” he said.

“Kung ang gobyerno ay kayang gumastos ng bilyon bilyon at ibigay sa dilaw na NGOs, bakit hindi bayaran ang lupa para sa expro-priation price? Pwede naming bayaran ang land lord sa tamang expropriation price, tapos ibigay ang lupa ng libre sa magsasaka,” he added, referring to the Aquino administration.

“Kung pababayarin mo ng lupa ang mga landless tillers, mawawa-la iyan. Mapupunta ang lupa sa ibang tao o kapamilya rin ng may-ari ng lupa ang magsasamsam muli sa lupa.”

Sison, meanwhile, believes that labor secretary-designate Silvestre Bello III and undersecretary-des-ignate Joel Maglunsod will do a good job, particularly in ending the “endo” practice where contractual employees are hired and rehired in order for them not to avail of the benefi ts being given to regular employees.

“Maraming magagawa. May mga limitasyon pero marami pa ring magagawa. At kung mga progresibo ay nasa isang departa-mento, pag may mga limintasyon na kailangan aysuin, kailangan ayusin, maaring magpatupad ng Executive Order o gumawa ng bagong batas.” (MNS)

Duterte returns to Sarangani as President in Alabel, Sarangani (June 23, 2016) – President-elect Rodrigo Roa Duterte arrives at the Sarangani Capitol Wednesday, June 22, to grace one of the province’s historic events, “Convergence: The Inaugural Ceremony of a United Sarangani and General Santos”, the oath-taking ceremony of local offi cials of Sarangani and General Santos City, including that of Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon and Senator-elect Emmanuel Pacquiao. On November 27, 2015, Duterte delivered a speech in the same venue during the Munato Festival and 23rd Foundation Anniversary of Sarangani a few hours after his lawyer fi led his certifi cate of candidacy for president in Intramuros. In that speech, the Davao City mayor vowed that he will build a law-abiding, God-fearing and comfortable nation if elected president. Duterte also said that “corruption has to stop” and “criminality has to go.” He made it clear he would not change his ways in dealing with drug dealers and criminals. Duterte reiterated these on Wednesday before thousands of local offi cials and families who erupted into wild applause. (Tres Besana/Sarangani Information Offi ce)

Despite criticisms about his view of and attitude towards women, former Gabriela party-list Rep. Liza Maza believes Duterte will lend an ear to their concerns because he is known to be open to receiving advice. “President Dute-rte is a listening President. Hindi niya magagawa ang kanyang cam-

paign platform na naka-engganyo sa mahigit 16 million voters kundi siya nakinig. Ang tingin namin ay magiging mainam para sa kanya na makinig rin sa kalahati ng ating populasyon,” she said in reference to women.

Asked what advice her group would give Duterte to correct crit-icism that he is disrespectful of women, Maza said: “Ang practical advice namin kay President-elect Duterte would be to keep his feet and ears on the ground at all times kasi alam naman natin na ang kababaihan, one-half ‘yan ng population.”

ALABEL, Sarangani, June 22 (PNA) – “Retire now or I will ask for your resignation in public.”

President-elect Rodrigo R. Duterte gave this warning on Wednesday to three high-ranking offi cials of the Philippine National Police (PNP) whom he earlier tagged as involved in “corrupt” activities.

Speaking before thousands of res-idents and local government leaders at the jam-packed provincial capitol gymnasium here, Duterte reiterated that the “higher echelons” of the PNP has “three generals who are really tainted with drugs.”

He said the accused police offi cials should just retire from service practi-cally in the next seven days or before he assumes offi ce as the country’s 16th President at noon on June 30.

“Otherwise, I will name them publicly and ask for their resignation publicly,” he said amid cheers from the crowd.

But Duterte, who issued his initial warning to the concerned police offi -cials during his thanksgiving party in Davao City earlier this month, said he still believes that most of the coun-try’s police offi cers are “very good.”

He said that as long as police offi -cers are doing their mandates right, they are assured of his full support.

Police offi cers who might be ac-cused “unfairly” by some sectors for doing their jobs could get help from him, he said.

“Wag nyo lang akong bolahin (Just don’t trick me) and I will take care of you. I will protect you,” he said.

As to the “drug lords” and per-sonalities involved in drug-related activities, he said they will meet their match when he assumes offi ce.

“To everyone, do not destroy my country because I will really kill you. Do not destroy our youth,” he said.

“They (the youth) are the future of our country.

I don’t want us to have Filipinos in the future who are mostly mentally ill (because of illegal drugs,” Duterte added.

The incoming President was here to witness the oath taking on Wednes-day afternoon of the newly-elected of-fi cials of Sarangani Province and this city, and Senator-elect Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao.

The oath-taking was presided by Executive Judge Oscar P. Noel of the Regional Trial Court here.

Dubbed “Convergence,” the event was described as the “inauguration and dedication to God in unity, in-tegrity and prosperity” of the area’s elected offi cials.

Duterte to ‘corrupt’ offi cers: ‘Retire now’

a month. They rent a single-family house for $1,800, and pay $520 a month on new E350 Mercedes Benz car lease. Last year, he decided to stop working as a truck driver to be-come a business owner. The business opportunity presented itself by way of a turnkey franchise. It’s a retail outlet that provides a service to the public. Client also has credit card debt of $100K.

From experience, I know that there has to be some connection between the business and credit card debt. I asked him if he used the credit cards for the business. He said affi rmatively that he was required to put a down payment of $50K on the business. What happened was that client used credit cards to pay the $50K down payment? How he was able to do this, escapes me. Apparently, the franchisor operated another company whose purpose is to use buyer’s credit cards to fund the $50K down payment. That’s another story altogether. That’s like going to a car dealer and using ten credit cards to pay for a $50K car. I know there’s some fi nessing going on because 20 years ago, I offered to use one credit card with a $20K credit line to make a $10K down payment on a car, and the dealer told me that they could only used a max of $2,500 using the card. So this tells me that if you can use credit cards to pay for a $50K car or to make a down payment of $50K to buy a franchise, there has to be a lot of back door fi nessing going on to actually get money from all the credit cards to total a $50K payment. Let’s just put it mildly as a “grey” area.

In any event, $50K was trans-ferred from client’s credit cards to the franchisor pursuant to a purchase agreement between client, buyer, and franchisor, seller. The total purchase price of the business was $100K. How was client going to pay for the other $50K? It was fi nanced by a promissory note where client agreed to pay $2.5K a month until $50K was paid in full, interest at 12% p.a. Thinking that he had just acquired a very profi table business, client believed that he would have no problem paying himself a salary of $3K, the rent of another $3K, and the monthly payment to the franchisor of $2.5K, plus the $1.5K minimum monthly payments to keep the $50K credit cards current, until the busi-ness would be able to rake in profi ts by the truckloads to pay off the $50K

of credit cards.Eager to become a business tycoon,

client opened his store at 7 a.m. and closed it at 7 p.m., seven days a week. In the fi rst month, his gross receipts were a grand total of $3K. In the second month, his gross receipts were $2K. And on the third month, his gross receipts were $4K. After 12 months of hard work, his business was losing an average of $4 to $5K a month. He kept the business afl oat by using credit cards to fi nance the monthly losses. So at the end of 12 months, he owed a total of $100K. But all good things come to an end. He has maxed out his credit cards and there’s nowhere else to borrow money. So now the credit card dogs are barking at the door. They want their pound of fl esh. Client then re-alizes how foolish he was in buying this stupid franchise.

Considering all these circumstanc-es, does client qualify for Chapter 7 relief? Of course, he does. His intent was to pay every single cent of his credit cards from the truckload of profi ts from the business. Instead, he got truckload of losses. Blame that on his lack of experience in business, not on malice aforethought.

Why will Hillary beat Trump? Yes, because Americans by and large, are inclusive. And by and large, Americans are a just and fair people. Americans are made up of different ethnicities from all over the world; who believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That’s why America can have a black president for two terms despite the fact that America’s majority is not black. In America, we can talk freely about our ideas, which may differ from each other. I can say don’t vote for Trump because this man is a demagogue. Indeed, if he becomes president of our great nation, a civil war between different American ethnicities could ensue. This is not far fetched when it is the prospective president Trump himself who incites these feelings of hate towards others who look differ-ent. That is so fi fties and sixties and has no place in America of the 21st century.

Even Pope Francis said that Trump was not Christian in spirit. Even though the Pope did not claim infallibility when he said that, that was a very big negative against Trump. I’m voting for Hillary, she’s my president.

By Ferdinand G. PatinioMANILA, June 19 (PNA) – Out-

going Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Ro-salinda Baldoz urged President-elect Rodrigo Duterte to consider imposing death penalty to those involved in illegal recruitment activities vic-timizing aspiring overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

She noted such activities should be regarded as an organized or heinous crime for duping would-be overseas workers.

“Right now, the law already pro-vides the highest penalty of life im-prisonment since it is considered as economic sabotage. So considering illegal recruitment for death penalty could be considered,” Baldoz said.

Rule IV, Section 5 of Republic Act No. 10022 provides that the penalty of life imprisonment shall be imposed if illegal recruitment constitutes eco-nomic sabotage, wherein a syndicate or a group of three persons or more conspired to commit the activity.

The incoming Chief Executive is bent on restoring the capital pun-ishment for heinous crimes as soon as he assumes his offi ce on June 30.

Duterte said the death penalty should be considered for criminals involved in illegal drugs, gun-for-hire syndicates, and in “heinous crimes” like rape, robbery with murder.

Under the law, illegal recruitment is defi ned as any act of canvassing, enlisting, contracting, transport-ing, utilizing, hiring, or procuring workers for employment abroad when undertaken by non-licensee or non-holder of authority.

The Philippine Overseas Employ-ment Administration (POEA) said there are about 400 to 500 cases of illegal recruitment being reported annually. (PNA)

MANILA, June 23 (Mabuhay) – Senator Loren Legarda has renewed her call for the nation to de-velop a culture of safety and preparedness to prevent natural hazards, such as earthquakes, from turning into disasters.

“Everyone should be ready when the ‘Big One’ occurs. Government agencies and all public in-stitutions must be prepared,” Legarda said in a statement Wednesday, following the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority’s (MMDA) second Metro Manila Shake Drill—a simulation of condi-tions that can occur if and when a 7.2-magnitude earthquake hits Metro Manila.

“There should be an effective early warning system and massive information and education campaign to equip us with knowledge on what to do before, during and after such disasters,” she said.

Legarda, Global Champion for Resilience of the UN Offi ce for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), said there should be regular evaluation and retro-fi tting of public and private infrastructure to ensure that buildings, bridges and other similar structures can withstand strong earthquakes.

Local government units (LGUs), including baran-gay (village) offi cials, she said, must determine open spaces for safe refuge when earthquakes occur and craft evacuation plans that would help the people fi nd the fastest and safest way to reach open spaces and other secure areas.

Legarda said she would fi le in the 17th Congress a bill that will mandate the regular conduct of fi re

and earthquake drills in all public establishments, especially in schools and hospitals.

The drills, she said, should include practice and instructions concerning the location, use and operation of emergency exits, fi re escapes, doors and fi re extinguishers and other facilities provided for such purpose in buildings as well as the proper evacuation of buildings by persons in the event of fi res and earthquakes.

The senator said there should be an effective ear-ly warning system like the “5pm chime” of Minato City in Japan. Everyday at 5:00 in the afternoon, she said, the instrumental version of the Japanese folk song “Yuyaku Koyake” is heard in speakers all around the said city. This is a way to ensure that the broadcast system and speakers are working correctly because the speaker network is used to

warn people of emergency situations, especially disaster warnings.

“We also need to have this kind of early warning system in the country, so that wherever people are, they are informed of important announcements es-pecially in emergency situations, thereby reducing risks, casualties and damages,” she said.

Legarda reminded that disaster risk reduction and preparedness can significantly reduce the impacts projected in the 2004 Metro Manila Earth-quake Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS).

The study revealed that without the necessary interventions, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake in Metro Manila could destroy 40% of residential buildings, damage 35% of all public buildings, kill 34,000 peo-ple, injure 114,000 individuals and the ensuing fi res will also result in 18,000 additional fatalities.

MANILA, June 21 (PNA) – ABS-CBN Foundation Chairperson Gina Lopez has accepted the offer of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte as secretary of the Department of En-vironment and Natural Resources (DENR). “I just talked to him just a few minutes ago, so after much introspection, I decided to accept it,” Lopez told reporters in an ambush interview on Tuesday.

“Nagulat nga ako eh, because I’m not the usual choice. My stand on the environment is very clear but this is what I really believe in, na

kung alagaan ang kalikasan at kung gawin sa paraan na may pakinabang ang komunidad na doon nakatira, I am very, very sure we can eradicate poverty,” she added.

Lopez, who is strongly against mining activities and coal-fi red power plants, said she was “deeply honored” of Duterte’s offer in spite of the “con-troversies” arising from her decision.

“I give you my fi rm commitment that I’ll do everything that I can and it’s not only to protect the environ-ment but what I really want to do is to eradicate poverty,” she said. (PNA)

By Azer N. ParrochaMANILA, June 22 (PNA) – Boracay in the Philippines is a leading ex-

ample of a tourist destination in the country that has managed to evolve despite limitations in airport infrastructure, a hospitality consultancy expert said Wednesday.

C9 Hotelworks founder and managing director Bill Barnett said that despite limitations in the Caticlan airport Boracay has managed to rely on the distant larger Kalibo International Airport as a mainstream point of access.

Barnett lauded the upgrade of Caticlan’s Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, which is extending its runway by 1,800 metres, enough to accommodate Airbus and Boeing single-aisle jets.

This extended runway, he said, will see a larger passenger terminal added within the next two years. One key feature of the enhanced runway is the ability to land planes at night which will be a strong boost to airlift.

“Boracay interests us but we also ask ourselves, ‘Is Boracay going sink anytime soon because there’s so much development?’ Barnett said in an interview in Makati City.

Spreading the businessBarnett said that aside from relying on another airport as a point of

access in Boracay, the government is in the right track of utilizing Pal-awan to help address overcapacity and overdevelopment.

“There’s so much focus on Boracay but Palawan can alleviate spread of the business. San Vicente (in Palawan) has potential,” Barnett said referring to the country’s fl agship Tourism Enterprise Zone (TEZ).

San Vicente was identifi ed as the fi rst fl agship TEZ for its forests, islands, coves, and most specially its 14.7-kilometer shoreline, which is said to be the longest in the world.

Among the components of the TEZ is the San Vicente Airport which will be the main entry point for most tourists once operational.

Barnett, however, suggested there should be more hotel rooms built in San Vicente to spur airport development or simply put, “make people want to fl y there.” ”Tourism numbers would be stronger if there are more tourism products created that are ready,” Barnett said.

He meanwhile stressed the importance of infrastructure development to “transcend political regimes.”

”An airport takes longer than one political regime so you have to have consistency in policy. Not just after a new government comes, there will be policy and infrastructure changes. That’s the biggest backlog for tourism.

He said that while the Philippines has had well defi ned tourism mas-terplans, the key in was to execute them correctly through public-private partnership (PPP). (PNA)

By Lilian C. MellejorDAVAO CITY, June 19 (PNA)

– The incoming Secretary of the Department of Agriculture (DA) will engage the street dwellers in highly-urbanized cities to do the green house agricultural farming to make them productive and push food suffi ciency.

This will also be a step towards reducing poverty incidence of the country’s growing population.

But fi rst, incoming DA Secretary Emmanuel Piñol will embark on a nationwide feeding program through “Lugawan” which is anchored on the President-elect Rodrigo Duterte’s principle: “No one must sleep hun-gry”. Piñol said this could be a venue to develop a data base of people, who have become unproductive and stay only in the streets. These people es-pecially their children are vulnerable to insecurity.

It may be recalled that Duterte as mayor of the city, has an ongoing Lugawan program at Rizal Park for street dwellers although some other people who cannot buy food go to the park to eat at sunrise and at sun-down. Piñol said this will be copied on national scale but the targeted people will have to be registered for data base. He however clarifi ed the program does not promote “dole out principle”.

Piñol in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), targets July 6 to start the “Lugawan” in one of the public parks in Manila.

According to him, the data base

will be used to identify and locate these people and train them for live-lihood particularly on the agriculture innovative technology offered by an Israeli investor. This will make them productive and self-suffi cient.

When asked about the possible areas, Pinol said the project does not require vast lands so it could be in any vacant lots nearer to the targeted benefi ciaries.

Last year, the project was dis-cussed with the mayor, who then offered one area in Mintal for one module of the agricultural Green-house with a size of 272 square me-ters as pilot area.

Piñol introduced to Duterte, Eyal Ben Ari, president of the Israel Chamber of Commerce and Indus-try and owns GurLavi Corporation, which brings the Greenhouse Israeli Agro-Innovative Technology in the Philippines. The Greenhouse Israeli Agro-Innovative Technology is a solu-tion aimed at helping the country’s agricultural sector increase quality and quality of crops. Greenhouse is practiced by growers in different parts of the world and possible in all types of climatic conditions. He said it is widely practiced in Israel due to scarcity of water and land.

The company’s agronomist, Be-atrice Cortez, said earlier that the intention is to help the agriculture industry of the country and other cities like Davao and other places in Mindanao. Cortez, a Filipina working for GurLavi said the green house and its technology model was set up in Tagaytay.

rule back home, Maggie risked her life numerous times, “carrying crit-ical intelligence data, vital radio parts and medical supplies through heavily garrisoned enemy-held ter-ritory in the Philippines. She was caught three times, but she managed to escape through her knowledge of Niponggo, (the Japanese language) which she learned when she was briefl y jailed.”

Magdalena Leones was born on August 19, 1920 in the highlands of Labuagan in the then sub-province of Kalinga . She was raised in a religious-oriented family, where her father, Juan A. Leones was a known Filipino missionary through the Cor-dillera region.

“As a missionary pioneer of the United Brethren Church, Maggie’s father, Juan helped promote Christi-anity through the head-hunting com-munities of the Mountain Province, as acknowledged by Frank C. Lau-bach in his book “Seven Thousand Emeralds.” Her mother, on the hand, Lucia Estoista was raised by Rev, and Mrs. Kutch of the United Brethren Missionaries of the Philippines.

Maggie’s religious upbringing prepared her for a life of peaceful, religious service, but on May, 1938, a few months before her eighteenth birthday, she became a deaconess to various evangelical churches in La Union and the Mountain Province.

However, by December, 1941, the Japanese Imperial soldiers landed in Northern Luzon and begun the occupation of Northern Luzon which included the enemy march to Bagu-io, where the American bastion in the Cordilleras forced Camp John Hay’s commander Col. John Horan to abandon the place. A year after, on August 14, 1942, she was jailed along with missionaries’ wives, and other offi ces at the Camp Holmes, where during their incarceration she learned Niponggo, which eventually helped her in her duties as a “special agent” with the American forces.

Five months after, on December 1942 she was set free under the auspices of Rev. Karl Eschbach, a Ba-guio-based missionary of her church. She was awarded the U.S. military’s Silver Star award - the highest mili-tary decoration for valor. She died in Richmond, California at the age of 95.

Much like Maggie Leones the “First Lady of Civil Rights,” Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in the front section of the bus, in Mont-gomery, Alabama in 1955,” asserting her civil rights.

In her book, “When Women Win,” author Ellen R. Malcolm stressed that from “1989 to 1974, when Golda Meir was Prime Minister of Israel she kept rising to power and breaking glass ceilings worldwide, including the rise of feminist movements in

the U.S. led by Gloria Steinem and Betty Freidan.”

In her book, Malcolm further said that “in 1992, when Bill Clinton was elected to the Presidency of the United States, it also became the “Year of the Woman,” in the wake of “Anita Hill’s explosive testimony that Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her. It was in the same year when scores of women candidates were swept into various political offi ce.”

Five months from now, in No-vember, 2016, if Hillary Clinton, gets elected to be the fi rst woman President of the United States, au-thor Ellen R. Malcolm said” “it is important to have leaders who will go fi rst, articulate a vision and chart a path for millions of people to follow.” And hopefully, that will resonate the fact that women can break the glass ceiling and can HAVE equal power as have benefi tted men throughout history.

Women power: from Pinay Maggie Leones to Rosa Parks to Hillary Clinton Countless personal stories of men

of valor and patriotism of Filipino soldiers during World War II has been written in numerous Philippine publications, but hardly was there any story on Magdalena “Maggie” Le-ones, a simple Pinay who was known as the “ Lioness of Filipina agents.”

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) have opposed the reimposition of the death penalty.

Gascon said that the global trend was towards abolition of the death penalty.

He added that it had been proven that the death penalty was not an effective deterrent to crime.

Gascon said the country’s criminal justice system’s intention was to re-habilitate convicts.

“Ang trend po ay para sa abol-ishing ng death penalty. Kada taon dumadami ang mga estado na nag-a-abolish nito,” Gascon said.

“Sa pamamagitan ng criminal justice sytem sinasabi natin sa mga nagkasala at mga nagkamali na

kailangan silang parusahan pero sa pamamagitan na matututo sila,” he added.

“Sa death penalty, wala nang pangalawang pagkakataon pa ang mga salarin at mga convicted na magbagong buhay dahil kikitilin na ang buhay nila,” Gascon said.

Archbishop-emeritus Oscar Cruz has said on Balitanghali that the CBCP would also oppose Duterte’s proposal.

“Siyempre po naman tututulan po namin iyan, lalo na ng CBCP. Hindi maaaring maupo lamang ang Simbahan diyan. Tatayuan iyan,” Cruz said.

our national honor. If previously we are brushed aside as a member of the international community, now we are a country others look up to. If before only negative news about the Philippines abound, now we are among those that receive praises.)

He spoke lengthily about the achievements of the department un-der former Secretary Albert del Rosa-rio such as overseeing the evacuation of thousands of overseas Filipino workers in the Middle East. Aquino said that as a Cabinet offi cial, Del Rosario was hands-on, as exhibited by his visit to strife-torn Libya to ensure the safety of Filipinos there.

“Si Albert [del Rosario], hindi tag-apasa ng problema, siya’y taga-tugon

sa problema at minsan lampas sa in-aasahan sa kanya. Hindi kailangang sabihan dahil agad siyang kumikilos at nakatutok sa kapakanan ng ating kababayan,” the President said.

“Sa kabila ng pagkakaroon ng mga sakripisyo at karamdaman, ibinuhos pa rin ni Albert ang kanyang buong lakas at kakayahan para sa ating mga Boss. Kaya kay Albert, maram-ing-maraming salamat,” he added.

(Albert del Rosario is not one who passes the burden, he responds to the problem and sometimes even exceeds expectations. He doesn’t need to be told to act on a problem because he does so on his own and is focused on the welfare of our fellow Filipinos.

loved ones, Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-27), CAPAC Chair said.

“Our country benefits greatly from the contributions of aspiring Americans who work, go to school, start businesses, volunteer, and are integrally woven into the fabric of our society. And yet, because of our broken immigration system, millions are forced to live in fear that any day, parents could be separated from their children, or children could be deport-ed to a country they’ve never known. That is why President Obama’s ex-ecutive actions were so necessary in the wake of Congressional inaction to pass comprehensive immigration re-form legislation.”

The Supreme Court on Thursday delivered a heavy blow to the White House’s immigration program by remaining in place a lower court’s ruling that blocked the program.

By voting 4-4, the Supreme Court on Thursday left in place a previous ruling by the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeal against US President Barack Obama’s controversial immigration executive action in 2014.

Speaking at the White House, Obama called the Supreme Court’s deadlocked decision “frustration to those who seek to grow our economy and bring a rationality to our immi-gration system.” “The fact that the Supreme Court wasn’t able to issue a decision today doesn’t just set the system back further,” said Obama. “It takes us further from the country that we aspire to be.”

Meanwhile, presumptive Demo-

cratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton called the deadlocked deci-sion “unacceptable” and took a sharp jab at her rival in the general election Republican Donald Trump.

“This decision is also a stark re-minder of the harm Donald Trump would do to our families, our commu-nities, and our country,” said Clinton in a statement.

Trump had proclaimed from the very beginning of his candidacy that he would implement tougher immi-gration policies, pledging to deport millions of illegal immigrants and to build a wall along US-Mexico border.

In 2014, Obama resorted to his executive authority to circumvent Congress and pushed forward im-migration reforms by seeking to provide as many as 5 million illegal immigrants with work permit while shielding the majority of them from deportation.

This immediately sparked an out-cry among Republicans, calling the action an illegal executive overreach.

In its defense, the White House previously said the Supreme Court and Congress had made clear that “the federal government can set pri-orities in enforcing our immigration laws.”

The fi rst phase of Obama’s exec-utive action on immigration reform was supposed to start taking effect in February last year.

As a result, young immigrants would be protected from deportation if they were brought to the US soil illegally as children.

to accommodate that kind of an outcome in the Great Britain,” he stressed.

On Friday, the result of UK’s ref-erendum whether it should remain or leave the 28-EU economic bloc showed that 52 percent or about 17.4 million of its population voted for Britain to leave EU.

Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) expects the solid economic funda-mentals and the inherent strength of the fi nancial market will able the country to ride out the effects of Brit-ain’s withdrawal from the European Union (EU).

PSE President and Chief Execu-tive Offi cer Hans B. Sicat said the outcome of the EU referendum had a negative impact on various asset

classes and currencies, including the Philippine market.

Sicat said expected reaction in a British exit or “Brexit” case may prevail for the next few days as mar-kets settle. “Medium term, however, we think that the Philippine market will not be adversely affected as it is supported by the country’s solid economic fundamentals and the in-herent strength of the local fi nancial market,” he added.

The local stock barometer plunged 100.06 points or 1.29 percent to 7,629.72 on heavy sell-off on Friday.

“Risk-off trades and increased volatility due to the referendum in UK triggered liquidation activities causing investors to capitalize on their gains from the recent rally,” said BDO Unibank Inc. chief market strategist Jonathan Ravelas. (PNA)much.) Del Rosario, who served as

DFA chief since February 24, 2011, tendered his resignation last Febru-ary citing health reasons.

It was under Del Rosario’s lead-ership that the Philippines staked its claim on disputed islands in the West Philippine Sea by fi ling a his-toric case against China. The case is pending before an arbitral tribunal at the United Nations Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, Netherlands. The decision of the arbitration tribunal is expected to be issued “within weeks,” according to reports. With seven days remain-ing in his term, Aquino rallied the DFA to continue implementing the reforms that have started in his administration. “Pagtibayin pa sana natin ang pagkakaisa at nawa’y itaguyod natin ang ating ambisyon: ang iwan ang bansa sa di hamak na mas magandang kalagayan kesa sa ating pinagmulan,” he said.

By Jorge Rivas and Rafa Fernandez De CastroFusion News Report

ORLANDO, Jun 17, 2016 — Victor is recovering in an Orlando hospital room after being shot twice during the Pulse massacre last Saturday night.The 24-year-old Salvadoran is being consoled by three friends at his bed-side, but as an undocumented man with no relatives nearby and no idea when his injuries will allow him to return to work, he’s worried about how he’s going to pay for the hospital bills—and what will happen to him if he can’t. Victor, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, is one of two undocumented immi-grants who were shot and survived during the nightclub attack. The other, a 33-year-old Mexican named Javier, is recovering in the hospital

and reportedly in stable condition de-spite taking a bullet to the abdomen.A third undocumented man, a 31-year-old Mexican, passed away earlier this week.

He was one of three Mexicans killed in the attack, and although his identity has been released, his immigration status has not, which is why we are not publishing his name.It’s unknown if there were any other undocumented immigrants among the 100-plus victims who were killed or injured during the Pulse shooting.Why does immigration status mat-ter at all in this instance? Because victims without legal status in the United States are now facing a whole additional set of challenges in the wake of the horrible mass-shooting.

pay higher rates and fees for their unfortunate fi nancial credit issues, of course! A lot of professional home fl ippers made a ton of money using these so called “Hard Money Lend-ers” these past few years fl ipping homes paying rates as high as 8-9% short term and making 30-45% profi t on their investments.

The key is to be able to know that these high rate loans will have to be short term. Don’t use them if you don’t have an exit strategy within a year or less. The interest alone will eat up your equity in a few years and you will drown and throw away good money.

These loans have to be labeled “Non Qualifi ed Mortgage” by these lenders due to the lending guideline set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as far as making loans for home buyers occupying the property and getting a home owner occupied loans. These Non-QM loans will mainly favor investment properties and for-eign home buyers.

Here are some of the very fl exible guidelines that you could say mir-rored the so called “Stated Income” loan that was once the only type of loan that was being offered:

Loan to value to 85% with credit scores as low as 500.

2 year seasoning on bankruptcy, foreclosure, short sale & deed in lieu ( compared to 4-7 on conventional and government fi nancing)

Alternative income documenta-

tion, such as personal or business bank statements for 24 months in lieu of tax returns for self employed borrowers.

Non warrantable condos up to 80% loan to value. ( meaning condos with litigation or high ratio of rental occupancy )

Mixed used property, commercial property, properties with poor con-ditions.

No seasoning requirement when borrower returns back to work after an extended period of time.

30% equity is not required on de-parture properties to show as rental income.

Home borrowers are not all fl ock-ing to get these types of loans, but now with the housing market sort of taking a short breather, sellers are more willing to review offers that are not all cash or with huge down payments.

These types of program will main-ly benefi t self employed borrowers with a down payment to start to consider short term loan options to buy a house.

These aren’t the same products as the so-called “liar loans” that were pervasive before the housing bust. Instead, the loans are going to bor-rowers such as small business owners or investors buying properties they intend to rent who can demonstrate an ability to repay, verifi able through bank or brokerage statements. Lend-ers said they look for enough assets

to pay six to 12 months of payments, while also demanding high down pay-ments to reduce the chance of default.

The Dodd-Frank law said that, for all owner-occupied mortgages made in the United States, lenders must make sure the borrower has the ca-pacity to repay, or face enforcement from the Consumer Financial Pro-tection Bureau as well as consumer claims in court, where lenders could be liable for up to three years of fi -nance charges and fees.

Ability-to-repay rules apply only to mortgages for people who will live in the house.

That means there is potential for abuse if borrowers apply for the mortgages saying they’ll rent out the property when in fact they intend to live there.

Because these kinds of loans are not subject to ability-to-repay rules and require less documentation,

borrowers could be talked into taking on mortgages they cannot afford, a lender at a large bank said.

The law, and the CFPB’S rules on the matter, will likely prevent lend-ers from re-embracing the worst va-rieties of stated income loans during the bubble years, such as so-called “ninja” loans, a near-acronym for “no income, no job or assets.”

Therefore, there is still a thick wall to avoid a repeat of the recent mortgage fall out we all experienced. Mortgage rates are really low and homeowners with rates over 4% should consider a lower rate now before the Feds decide to man up and raise rates.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — “It is worth noting that Philippine soci-ety has always been blessed with strong and powerful women who shape the course of our history. Fil-ipinas are active in diverse fi elds, pouring their talents, skill, and passion into many areas of human endeavor. It is therefore no won-der that the Philippine Suffrage Movement in the early 1900s was composed mainly of Filipinas who were able to carve an identity, and a mission, that were separate from those of the infl uential men in their lives.”

Thus remarked Minister Patrick Chuasoto, Deputy Chief of Mission of the Philippine Embassy, as he formally opened the exhibit “The Washington Home of the Philippine Suffrage Movement” on 16 June 2016 at the Embassy’s Romulo Hall.

“The Washington Home of the Philippine Suffrage Movement” stems from the research of hus-band-and-wife team Erwin Tiong-son and Titchie Carandang-Tiong-son, who also spearheaded the ongoing project Philippines on the Potomac or POPDC. It was an ini-tiative of Madam Maria Victoria Cuisia, wife of Philippine Ambas-sador to the United States Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. Another remarkable Filipina, Monique Bascon, lent her artistic talent as exhibit designer.

The exhibit focuses on the lives of Mercedes Tiongson Sandiko, Clemencia Lopez, Sofi a de Veyra, Pura Villanueva Kalaw, Aurora Quezon, Ines Villa Gonzalez and Pilar Hidalgo Lim, who pursued their advocacy for the extension of suffrage to Filipino women during

their stay in the United States in the early part of the 20thcentury.

“The exhibit celebrates a group of extraordinary women and their ties to Washington. And coming so soon after the last Philippine elec-tions, this exhibit, we hope, serves to remind us that suffrage rights have been hard won through the struggles of many people who came before us.

And by coincidence, that photo of the women from the Philippines at the White House, around which the exhibit is organized, was taken almost exactly 94 years ago today,” explained Erwin and Titchie Tiong-son.

“The exhibit draws materials from our Philippines on the Poto-mac Project. Discovering all these fascinating women and their ties to our adopted DC home has been a deeply rewarding experience. And the process of discovery has been made so much easier thanks to the generosity of so many people who shared memorabilia, photos, and family stories,” the Tiongson couple added.

The Embassy is hosting the week-long exhibit in line with its Gender and Development (GAD) program and the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Philip-pines-US diplomatic relations.

“We must remember that while diplomatic relations between our two countries turn only 70 years old this year, the ties that bind our nations have existed for over a century. Moving forward entails being open to outside partnerships and at the same time harnessing the cooperation of your own people to be united in pursuit of common

goals. The Philippine Suffrage Movement had its own allies and supporters here at the US capital and we similarly honor their role in the Movement’s eventual suc-cess,” the Deputy Chief of Mission emphasized.

The Movement triumphed as the right of suffrage was extended to Filipino women on 30 April 1937. Almost eight months later, on 14 December 1937, the Philippines held the fi rst general election in which Filipino women were allowed to vote and run for public offi ce.

“It truly takes a village to put together an exhibit. We are grate-ful to the Philippine Embassy,

the Public Diplomacy Offi ce, the Gender and Development Program and of course, Mrs. Cuisia, for the wonderful opportunity to share our discoveries with the Filipino- Amer-ican community,” the Tiongsons concluded.

Ms. Mitzi Pickard, President of the Philippine Arts, Letters and Media Council (PALM), served as master of ceremonies at the exhibit launch.

Members of the public may view the “The Washington Home of the Philippine Suffrage Movement” at the Romulo Hall until 12:00 p.m.of Thursday, 23 June 2016, excluding Saturday and Sunday.

LOS ANGELES, June 20 (PNA/Xinhua) – The world’s fi rst drone capable of autonomously carrying a person may test-fl y in Nevada later this year, the United States, Chinese Aerial technology company EHang Holdings Limited told Xinhua on Sunday.

The Chinese company based in China’s southern province of Guang-dong and the state of Nevada are trying to make this happen by moving forward with testing the EHang 184 Autonomous Aerial Vehicle, the fi rst drone to offer autonomous human fl ight over short-to-medium distances.

The state’s Institute for Autonomous Systems(NIAS) has already given the China’s company permission to test fl y the drone. Ehang is now working closely with NIAS over the coming months to work through the UAS fl ight requirements.

“We will help guide EHang through the FAA regulatory process with the ultimate goal of achieving safe fl ight,” Tom Wilczek, an Aerospace and Defense Industry Specialist of the Governor’s Offi ce of Economic Development (GOED) told Xinhua early this month. He said that the program would take place at Nevada’s FAA-approved test site, one of six such drone-testing locations across the the United States.

This partnership “is a big step for EHang 184 to move forward to government regulatory approval of the unprecedented innovation in US and globally, which will lay the foundation for its commercialization and building up the aerial transportation ecosystem in the future”, Huazhi Hu, Founder and CEO of EHang said in a statement.

The electrically powered Ehang 184, released at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this January, can carry a single passen-ger weighing up to 100 kg for a 23-minute fl ight at sea level at a speed of 100 km per hour, the company said.

World’s fi rst passenger drone may fl y over Nevada this year

The last Philippine elections tallied more than 54 million who registered to be able to exercise their Divine Right which the Commission on Elections claimed to be within their target of Filipinos who will register. This, so far, the electoral body said is the largest number of registered voters the Philippines’ has ever had.so far.

On the Overseas Absentee Voter (OAV) front a total of 432,706 of the registered 1,376,067 exercised their right which is 40 percent of the to-tal. The turn out of voters, Comelec offi cials noted, is “the second highest record since the poll body has imple-mented overseas voting in 2004 in 82 posts worldwide”.

There were only 737,759 voters in 2013 and of that fi gure, only 113,209 cast their ballots to register a low turnout of 15.35 percent. Voter turn-out in 2010 presidential polls was higher at 26 percent who made their presence felt.

The Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles leads the list of US posts with 55,000 voters, followed by San Francisco with 46,831 and Washington, DC with 28,000.

The 2016 national and local elec-tions was marked by passion from all levels of society which also left a deep cut and divisions among person-alities, parties, and platforms. In the end, the will of the Filipino electorate reigned supreme.

In California, the election heat refuses to subside. Even before the new administration finally takes

reins of the government the business and professional sectors had the op-portunity to see a glimpse of what lies ahead in the new dispensation in the agriculture sector.

Through the initiative of the Filipino American Chamber of Com-merce of Orange County and one of its board members, Emma Tiebens of Tiebens Media, International and Monetized Meet Up Group, an avenue was provided for interested parties aching to be informed of what lies ahead in the Philippine political horizon. They were not disappointed as the speaker for the night, newly designated Secretary of Agriculture Emmanuel “Manny” Pinol gave the audience a substantial preview of what’s ahead in his portfolio con-sidered one of the most important posts in the Philippine bureacratic make up.

His credential, many observed, qualifi es him to handle such a del-icate position that takes charge of ensuring that millions of Filipinos do not sleep with empty stomachs and still have some money to spare. Change in the agricultural sector was his message throughout the pro-ceedings. A former media man, and author of a book entitled “Feeding Millions-President Duterte’s Food Security Blueprint”, Secretary Pinol is most of all a “practicing farmer” who reads the agriculture landscape like a palm of his hands.

In the animated exchange of ideas, the presumptive Secretary outlined his program on recouping the once

The former North Cotabato Gover-nor, one of 11 sons of a farmer and a public school teacher frrom M’lang , North Cotabato, knew what he was talking about in his passion and love for his countrymen in “making sure that food will be available and affordable for 105 million Filipinos”. This was the message he conveyed and the reason, why he traveled to

America ahead of his assumption of duties as Agriculture Secretary.

Information-wise, three-hour in-teraction at The Vine - Real Offi ce Centers (ROC) in Irvine provided the audience a glimse of what’s in store ahead in the agricultural sector, in particular and the Duterte Adminis-tration in general.

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

Oftentimes, employers attempt to avoid liability by claiming the care-giver is an “independent contractor.” In most circumstances, this argu-ment will fail as typically employers maintain signifi cant 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 effective on January 1, 2014, when the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights (DWBR) be-came law. Previously, employees who qualifi ed as “personal attendants,” including caregivers, nannies and babysitters who worked in private households, were The DWBR elim-inated 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 exceptions) 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 re-cover 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 attorneys fees allowed, claims often exceed $100,000 for 24-hour employees working just over 1 year.

OPINIONBy Lilian C. Mellejor

DAVAO CITY, June 20 (PNA) – The economic managers of the incoming administration of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte vowed to transform the national economy that will bring not only social peace but also communities that will nurture the Filipino people in the next six years.

Incoming Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez said this can be pursued through accomplishing the 10-point socio-economic program of the Duterte administration that were presented to the business sector during the fi rst day of the two-day Economic Forum dubbed: “Sulong Pilipinas” at the SMX Convention Center on Monday.

To push the 10-point agenda, which emphasizes the need to maintain accelerated economic growth broadly shared by the Filipino people, Dominguez said the new administration will move away from the chronic underspending seen the past few years. This means investing on infrastructure from modernizing ports to improving logistical spine to ensuring reliable and cheap power for all the islands, and investing more heavily in building up the nation’s human capital that include more extensive budgetary outlays for education and public health.

Dominguez pointed to investing projects in rural areas seeing to it that regions outside of the mega Manila will be given a fair treatment in fulfi lling big ticket and small and medium projects. He said the new administration will jump-start building infrastructure outside of mega Manila to push rural development agenda.

Under the current situation, Dominguez bared that 80 percent of projects lodged with the Public Private Partnership Center are located in and around Metro Manila.

He said there needs to be pro-active action from the local government units to push projects.

“We have to encourage the local governments to invest. There must be a paradigm shift,” he said.

Dominguez said they also need to generate more job op-portunities in the countryside by modernizing agriculture and encouraging agribusinesses to generate higher value added products.

“Farming should no longer be the poverty trap it has been for generations,” he said.

Tax systemsSpeaking before an estimated 300 participants from busi-

ness sector nationwide, Dominguez said also laid down what to expect under the new administration such as a review of the tax system by initially updating the income tax brackets and eventually to lowering corporate and individual tax rates.

“We wish to see our workers having more disposable income to do as they wish. Our corporate tax rates will be adjusted to be competitive with the rest of the region to make our economy more competitive for investments. We hope to broaden the tax base even more to compensate for lower rates,” he said.

He said there are some suggestions for raising the VAT rates to offset reduction of individual and corporate tax levels.

“We submit this matter for your consideration and sugges-tions,” Dominguez assured the business leaders.

The review of tax system is part of the new administration of push forward a bureaucratic reform.

By Leilani S. JunioMANILA, June 20 (PNA) – The Department

of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) cited on Monday the agency’s milestones in providing social protection for the past six years since July 2010 under the administra-tion of President Benigno S. Aquino III.

Outgoing DSWD Secretary Corazon J. Soliman said in a press briefi ng that her De-partment made signifi cant gains in prioritizing social protection agenda which include the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), and the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Com-prehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS).

According to Secretary Soliman, these core poverty reduction programs are comple-menting each other to uplift the lives of the vulnerable in the society, which is part of the DSWD’s vision and mission.

“The Department was able to harmonize the implementation of the core poverty reduction programs to more effectively reach and assist intended benefi ciaries,” she said.

She added that through the convergence strategy, the DSWD has been involved in empowering and developing the capacities of program benefi ciaries toward resilience.

She noted that from only 800,000 house-hold benefi ciaries previously, there are now 4,409,819 million Pantawid Pamilya house-holds benefi ting from the 4Ps.

She said that from these benefi ciaries, about 144,895 have been able to develop their ca-pacities as parent-leaders from just being shy and not so participative in their communities.

In addition, some 491,992 household ben-efi ciaries have emerged as community volun-teers in their communities in the creation of sub-projects that can help them uplift their lives and address their most immediate con-cerns.

Secretary Soliman also talked about SLP and shared how the marginalized benefi ciaries’ lives have been transformed through it by

availing themselves of employment opportu-nities and getting interest-free loans.

She also looked back at how the 4Ps was enhanced to fi t it with the modernized K-12 Program wherein the ages of children benefi -ciaries have been increased from the previous 0 to 14 years up to 18 years.

She also mentioned how the DSWD imple-mented the program in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Health (DOH).

She also said that poor family-benefi ciaries of 4Ps now have children in college or have actually finished their courses, some with honors, through DSWD’s partnership with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

According to the DSWD Chief, one of the recent accomplishments of the Department was its signing of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the law ensuring that the government and private entities are incentiv-ize to hire persons with disabilities (PWDs).

She said that the age of indigent senior citizens qualifi ed to receive social pension amounting to P500 a month has been lowered from 77 to 60 years.

She also said that aside from the old vul-nerable sectors, they also initiated various programs for Children in Confl ict with the Law (CICL) through the Juvenile Justice Welfare council.

The National Youth Commission (NYC) un-der the DSWD has also been empowered into delivering Youth Development Sessions (YDS) as counterpart of the Family Development Sessions (FDS) among 4Ps parents to ensure that the youth will know the consequences of early pregnancy and drug addiction that can harm their future.

Soliman also discussed how the DSWD is protecting the vulnerable sectors against haz-ards and sudden loss of income, and improving people’s capacity to manage risks by delivering services under its Crisis Intervention Unit. (PNA)

Incoming Department of Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol has lots of bright ideas to help turn around the moribund agriculture business in the Philippines. Piñol is in the United States this week to explore possibil-ities of acquiring farm machineries on long term loans to maximize rice production.

During a press conference in Irvine’s University Research Park, arranged and hosted by the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Orange, Piñol disclosed that his number one priority once he assumes his post is to make sure that food will be available and affordable for all FilipinosHe also vowed to stop the rampant corruption in the Department of Agriculture to ensure that government funds intended for farm workers will not be pocketed by corrupt offi -cials and employees in the department.

Piñol told members of the Fil-Am Cham-ber that among other things he also intends to develop the country’s fisheries, and aquatic resources, and make the Philip-pines rice-suffi cient and to revive the once flourishing copra and abaca industries.He said he would encourage farm workers, with ample government support and funding, to maximize farm production. The Philip-pines has a total agricultural land area of 13 million hectares. In spite of this vast land area, however, the country sadly and shamefully continues to import rice from other countries to meet the growing demand of its expanding population.

It will be recalled that when President Benigno Aquino became president, he promised to make Phil-ippines self-suffi cient. Well, that has yet to happen. Piñol said he would look into the dying abaca and copra business in the coun-

try. He said it is also sad that although we have the largest coconut plantation in the world, the country’s copra export business is on the brink of being extinct.

He said the same can be said of the abaca industry in the Philippines. Piñol told his audience that the Philippines is one of only two countries in the world that export ab-aca. The other country, he said, is Ecuador.Piñol was loudly applauded by his audience when he gave assurance and swore that he will not be corrupted by anyone in his desire to help farmers and fi shermen improve their lives as well as to help the country become rice suffi cient in the future.

I know Piñol will make good on his promise to change the current system in the Depart-ment of Agriculture. In my long years of working with Piñol at the Manila Bulletin as beat reporters, I found him to be an honest and down-to-earth person with a big heart, ready to help anyone who needs assistance.

Good luck Manny or should I now say Secretary Piñol. Millions of Filipinos are now waiting and watching if President elect Digong Duterte will deliver his promise of change and hope for all Filipinos for a bet-ter Philippines in the years to come. Piñol’s choice, in my opinion, is a welcome start.

ENTERTAINMENTDingdong Dantes has hinted that

he wants to have three more children with wife Marian Rivera.

Dantes, 35, said this in a post on his Instagram page as their family celebrated his first Father’s Day on Sunday. Sharing a picture of their family, Dantes said he could defi nitely afford to have three more little ones. Many of his fans agreed and told the actor that he and Rivera should have more babies to spread their “beautiful genes.”

In another post, Dantes shared that he is still in cloud nine after all the surprises prepared for him by Rivera and baby Zia. “I still have a hangover from yesterday’s surprises. These two, who happen to be my em-ployers, serve as a constant reminder that i have the best job in the world,” he wrote.

Dantes and Rivera, in their past interviews, have said that they enjoy being hands-on parents to baby Zia.

Rivera gave birth to Letizia in November 2015.(MNS)

Actress Diana Zubiri and hus-band model-host Andrew Smith are expecting a baby girl.

The actress had a baby shower for their upcoming baby, Aliyah Rose, attended by some of their closest friends.

Pictures from the event were shared by the couple and some of their guests on Instagram.

She is expected to give birth in July.

Zubiri and Smith got married in May last year.

It was Zubiri’s second marriage. She fi rst tied the knot in 2008 but unfortunately her husband died two years later. (MNS)

Singer Charice will soon release her newest album titled “Catharsis”.

“When they hear it, it’s like a release. When you hear my song—ei-ther happy or sad—it’s like a release of your emotions. The song has a catharsis feeling to it,” she explained as she narrated the story behind the album.

When asked where she got inspira-tion for her album, the singer replied:

“Different, actually. The album itself, hindi lang siya about sa akin. Like everywhere I go, when I look at a certain person, fi ni-fi gure out ko kung ano ang emotion niya, ang feeling niya.”

“So ang para sa akin, gusto ko sumulat ng kanta na makaka-relate sila at maiisip nila na ‘yun ang an-them ng buhay nila. So, defi nitely

different emotions—may happy, of course may sad, may martir, may manhid, lahat na andoon.”

“Catharsis” will be released in July. Aside from her album, Charice is also busy preparing for her shows abroad.(MNS)

Enchong Dee shared that he did a kissing scene with Kiray Celis for their upcoming romantic horror-comedy movie “I Love You To Death”.

Dee observed that Celis is not yet used to doing kissing scenes.

“Ano siya, hindi siya sanay. Sobrang hindi siya sanay. Naiintindihan ko naman. Sabi niya parang lumaki siya at saka tumanda siya sa business na hindi naman siya romantic, so hindi siya sanay sa ganoon,” he said. “In-aasar na siya ng mga staff kasi hindi niya magawa,” he added. “Pero ako,

sabi ko, I will just stay there, hindi kita pagtatawanan. I will be your support-er, I will be your man to lean on. Kasi ‘yung ganoon, sensitive ‘yung ganoong eksena.”

“I Love You To Death” tells the sto-ry of a woman (Celis) whose birthday wish is to fi nd a man who is madly in love with her. Directed by Miko Livelo, the movie also stars Janice de Belen, Betong Sumaya, Michelle Vito, Devon Seron, Trina Legaspi, Shine Kuk, Paolo Gumabao, Jon Lucas Christian Bables, Nico Nicolas and Dino Pastrano.

Consumers identifi ed vehicles as the most satisfying in their classes

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 13, 2016 – The 2016 Hyundai Tuc-son and Azera earned the top spots in the compact crossover SUV and large car categories, respectively, in AutoPacific’s 20th annual Ve-hicle Satisfaction Awards (VSAs).“With many options in the compact crossover SUV and large car catego-ries, we are proud the Tucson and Azera got the vote from consumers themselves for meeting their wants and needs,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, corporate and product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “These vehicles took the top spot in owner satisfaction for offering better value, technology, safety and design.”The VSAs are based on survey responses from more than 65,000 owners of new 2015 and 2016 mod-el-year cars and light trucks. The annual survey measures owner

satisfaction on 50 separate attri-butes. These awards identify the most satisfying vehicles on the market and are an industry bench-mark which measures how satisfi ed owners are with their new vehicle.“New car buyers have come to expect quality. These awards show how Hyundai is also focused on their cus-tomer’s needs and desires,” said Dan-iel Hall, vice president, AutoPacifi c.The all-new 2016 Hyundai Tucson offers an edgy exterior design, a pair of fuel effi cient drivetrains, and a stylish interior that is roomier than its predecessor. A host of advanced safety features are available, in-

Hyundai Tucsoncluding a Lane Departure Warning system, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross-traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, Backup Warning Sensors, and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB).

The 2016 Tucson also earned the Insurance Institute for High-way Safety’s (IIHS’s) 2016 TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation.The 2016 Azera represents an ad-vanced approach to the traditional premium sedan segment by deliv-ering a powerful yet effi cient pow-ertrain, modern design, and luxury features combined with Hyundai’s consistently strong value proposition.

(NewsUSA) - Indications are rosy for U.S. auto sales now that the re-cession is far in the rearview mirror.

According to analysts – who are bullish on the industry – new vehi-cle sales will hit their highest level since 2006, as consumers look to replace aging cars and trucks. In fact, estimated sales are expected to land somewhere between 16 million and 16.5 million, near pre-recession levels, which would mean an increase of around 5.8 percent.

The takeaway? Automakers can afford to be cautiously optimistic about sales for the remainder of the year, but also need to understand that as growth sales slow, they will have to be diligent with their market-ing and incentive offerings.

Rick Baranski, director of publish-er relations for U.S. Suburban Press (USSPI), maintains that the most effective auto-marketing strategies use local newspaper and targeted email to increase sales. USSPI is an advertising network of community

newspapers around the U.S. and is now a recognized leader of nationally aggregated email campaigns deliv-ering targeted quantities of 50K and under through its eZIPs program.

“Local newspapers are the prima-ry information source used during the car-buying process,” says Barans-ki. “The eZIPS email program that we offer complements the print ads by reaching individuals who are most likely to be shopping for a vehicle at the moment.”

Scott Slobodnik, brand manager of eZIPs, cites a case study of a deal-ership that sent out almost 39,000 emails at a cost of just over $3,800

using its eZIPs program.“That dealership sold 31 vehicles,

for a return on investment of almost $52,000,” says Slobodnik.

As a matter of perspective, the National Automobile Dealers Asso-ciation estimates that the national marketing cost per vehicle sold is $644, while the eZIPs program de-livers on average $250, and as little as $88.

“Dealers in the program are seeing outstanding results,” adds Slobodnik. “In most cases, there are six to 12 cars being sold per 10,000 e-mails that are sent out.”

With more people working and

By Azer N. ParrochaMANILA, June 20 (PNA) – Tour-

ism spending in the country has reached a new high in fi ve years as data the Philippine Statistics Author-ity (PSA) showed that it has increased by 8.2 percent in 2015 from 4.3 in 2010, reaching PHP306.6-billion for 2015. Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. attributed this growth to the positive outlook of the industry, the harmo-nious public and private partnership and a good marketing campaign. DOT’s “It’s More Fun in the Philip-pines” slogan has been recognized worldwide, especially in social media.

Jimenez said that all these efforts combined with strong government support “allowed tourism to reach the economic heights where it is today”.

“The business is good, you only have to keep the momentum going,” Jimenez reiterated. The same report showed that tourism industries have generated jobs for about 4.98 million people, with the passenger transport sector having 36 percent and accom-modation and food beverage sector

with 34.8 percent of total employ-ment. Foreign tourist arrivals was third among the biggest export items of the country in 2015, giving tourism an 8.2 percent share of total exports of goods and services of the Philippines.

Tourism is also third place in terms of top gross domestic product (GDP) growth generators, trailing behind real estate in second place and the trade industry in fi rst place.

Jimenez meanwhile assured that to maintain the industry’s growth, the National Tourism Development Plan (NTDP) 2016-2022 is being fi nal-ized for presentation to the current and later to the next administration for approval. He said that the plan should help sustain the strong fi rst quarter growth in tourist arrivals and help the country meet its target of 6.5-million tourists by yearend. Data from the DOT showed that the Philippines acquired a total of 2.073 million visitors from January-April, which registered another milestone in the history of the industry by sur-passing the two-millionth mark in just four months.

Tourism spending in PHL doubles in 5 years to PHP306-B

ably wait until you are 60 days late before they hand over your account to their internal collections department. If you’ve had a loss of income, your creditors may even tell you about their hardship program that will allow you to make lower payments at a signifi cantly reduced interest rate. Others will close your account which means that you can no longer use your credit card until the debt is paid in full. No matter what you are offered by the creditor at this point, however, it is only temporary and will not help you if your hardship contin-ues for longer than a few months.

Once you’re 90 days late, creditors start to become more aggressive.

Some creditors will turn the ac-count over to an outside collection agency. Of course, by this time, your debts continue to snowball as the creditors continue to add interest and penalties to the original amount owed. Federal and state collection laws prohibit abusive collection tac-tics but the reality is that a lot of bill collectors do not follow these laws and will make your life miserable by harassing you for payment. If the creditor decides that you probably will not pay back the debt, they may write it off their books and report the account as a “charge off” to the credit bureaus. To recoup the creditor’s losses, the account can then be sold to a third-party collection agency who buys the account for a fraction of the

original amount owed.At this point in the collection pro-

cess, you may be able to negotiate a drastic reduction of the debt amount and pay the creditor 20-50% of the amount owed. Should you do it your-self, hire a lawyer or is hiring a debt settlement company a good idea? If you don’t feel confi dent dealing with creditors yourself, you may be tempt-ed to hire a debt settlement company to avoid the expense of hiring an attorney. Don’t do it! Remember that a debt settlement company cannot legally represent you if you are sued and thus, they cannot protect your legal rights. Also keep in mind that some creditors will fl at out inform you that they refuse to work with a debt settlement company and if this happens, that means you leave them no other option but to fi le a lawsuit against you!

I have seen a lot of unscrupulous debt settlement companies who mis-represent their services to the public and offer false hopes to unsuspecting consumers who are desperate for a solution. A lot of these debt set-tlement companies do not clearly explain to you how their debt set-tlement program works before they ask you to sign a contract with them. Their advertising sounds so good and once you call them, they tell you nothing but lies just to suck you in. They do not tell you anything about the potential downfalls of hiring

them and often make big promises that they cannot deliver. Be careful in hiring a debt settlement company or you may end up in a worse situation with your credit with no solution to your debt problems.

If you are in debt and think debt settlement or fi ling bankruptcy may be a solution for you, we are here to help you fi gure out your best option. For a free consultation, call my offi ce at Toll-Free 1-866- 477-7772 and we will help you step by step in fi nding

a solution that’s right for you. We have offices in Glendale, Cerritos and Valencia.

Warning: should you trust a debt settlement company?If you are delinquent on your

debts, you may be able to avoid deal-ing with the bill collectors for a few months but sooner or later, you will still need to face the reality of your debt problems and do something to protect yourself.

N A S H -VILLE, Tenn. – The 2016 Nissan Fron-tier has been recognized as the top mid-size truck in the J.D. Pow-er 2016 Initial Quality Study (IQS), the in-dustry benchmark for new vehicle quality. Additionally, the Nissan brand jumped 10 spots in the study, bringing it to 10th position, sixth among non-premium brands and above the overall industry average. IQS, now in its 30th year, examines problems experienced by vehicle own-ers during the fi rst 90 days of owner-ship. Initial quality is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score refl ecting higher quality.

“Earning the top spot among vehicles in the extremely compet-itive mid-size truck segment is an immense point of pride for us,” said Dan Mohnke, vice president, Chief Marketing Manager and Marketing Operations, Nissan North America, Inc. “For our brand to jump 10 spots in the industry is an amazing feat. This recognition is a testament to the incredibly skilled men and women at our manufacturing and engineering facilities around the world.”

If you have been desiring to own a new Nissan vehicle, come down to Nissan Mission Hills and check out our kababayan Manuel Lava of Nis-san Mission Hills. So what are you waiting for? Schedule a Test drive on the vehicle of your choice at Nissan of Mission Hills. Call Manuel at 1-888-588-7635 and test drive a Nissan vehicle today!

CYPRESS, Ca-lif., June 6, 2016 – Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) today an-nounced the 2016 Outlander Sport has once again been rec-ognized by the New England Motor Press Association (NEM-PA) and awarded the Yankee Value Award for the second consec-utive year. Outlander Sport was honored at NEMPA’s an-nual awards dinner in Cambridge, Mass. where the 2016 Winter Vehicle Awards were presented.

“Outlander Sport continues to prove why it’s our sales leader,” said Don Swearingen, executive vice president and chief operating offi cer, MMNA. “Reliability, quality, compet-itive pricing and cost of ownership are at the core of Outlander Sport; to be recognized for providing ex-emplary value in such a competitive CUV segment proves Mitsubishi is providing consumers with what they

not only want, but need.”The Yankee Value

Award is presented to the vehicle that best ex-emplifi es the hardy New England spirit of un-derstated perseverance – and NEMPA takes its Yankee heritage serious-ly. To consider a vehicle for the Yankee Value Award the membership must be impressed with the vehicle as a “value proposition.”

That rings true with the 2016 Outlander Sport, a vehicle that offers a variety or features and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty that continues to grab consumers attention in the com-petitive crossover segment.

Earlier, the 2016 Mitsubishi Out-lander, recognized for having over 100 improvements as compared to the 2015 model-year, has been rated third in Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com list of 10 Most Affordable Three-Row Vehicles of 2016. Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com editors highlight the 10

new 2016 model-year affordable vehicles that can seat seven or eight passengers, perfect for families on a budget.

The list features six minivans and four SUVs, with prices ranging from $23,000 to $30,000.

“We set a new value standard for the brand when we launched the 2016 Outlander last year, and to see it is recognized by such an informative and trusted source in the automotive industry confirms that Mitsubishi is making a name for itself in the SUV/CUV segment,” said Don Swearingen, Chief Operat-ing Offi cer, MMNA. “Our objective was to provide consumers with a reliable, value-oriented vehicle that offers them the technology, safety and utility today’s families require; this shows we are doing just that.”

Each of the 10 featured vehicles

detail fuel economy, horsepower, pricing information, photos, links to both expert and consumer reviews and ratings, and more. Ranked as number three the 2016 Mitsub-ishi Outlander is recognized for continuing to reward buyers with more features for their money, and offering impressive warran-ties (5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty).

If you have been desiring to own a new Mitsubishi vehicle, come down to Puente Hills Mitsubishi and check out our kababayan Alex Jacinto. So what are you waiting for? Schedule a Test drive on the vehicle of your choice at Puente Hills Mitsubishi . Call Alex at 1-866-400-1067 and test drive a Mitsubishi vehicle today!
