which should be enough of an answer
to an associate justice’s query on why
martial law has to cover the whole of
Mindanao, instead of just limiting this to
Marawi City.
But on what basis will the High
Court rule martial law (ML) as
unconstitutional? Do these justices
know better than the President in
matters of intelligence? Apparently,
some of them think so, claiming, even
before the closed door session with the
military and other intelligence officials,
that there was a failure of intelligence.
However, even assuming that there
was a failure of intelligence, this cannot
still be a valid basis for junking the
ML imposed by Duterte in Mindanao
because he declared ML constitutionally
and did it within his powers as president
and commander in chief of all the armed
forces of the Philippines for at least 60
days unless extended and approved by
both houses of Congress.
But should the majority of the SC
justices junk Duterte’s martial law, as
the President said, he will obey the
ruling and made it clear that he should

RICE OUTPUT: The Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA) was forced
to lower the second quarter forecast
for the country rice output due to
continuous rainfall, insufficient water
supply in some areas, and pest
infestation - in the past three months.
Palay production from April to June is
now seen to hit 4.1 million MT, lower
than the previous forecast of 4.1
million MT, albeit lower by 0.6% of the
target production of 4.10 million MT -
but still 10.5% higher than last year. r.
Harvest area may increase by
0.02% from 0.95 million hectares

from 4.35 MT to 4.32 MT. Probable
reduction in production may be
attributed to unfilled grains resulting
from rains during vegetative and
reproductive stages of crops in Tarlac

He also challenged critics that if
their petition succeeds, it is better
for them to go and face the Islamic

That dare should include the SC
justices who seem to be against
proclamation 216 which imposes
ML in Marawi and Mindanao, with
a justice even warning the military
officials that they may be charged
criminally for having disobeyed an
unlawful order from the Commander
in Chief should the SC rule that
the declaration of ML be deemed
unconstitutional, which is no different
from telling the soldiers not to obey
orders from President Duterte even
before the SC en banc rules on
its constitutionality. Is the SC into
repeating its 2001 unconstitutional
act in deposing yet another popularly
elected president in Duterte?
It cannot be denied that the
proclamation of ML was executed
legally and constitutionally, and
all done within the powers of the
presidency.
Moreover, it has not even been a
month, with no abuses committed by
the soldiery fighting the battle with the
Maute terrorists noted, established
and proved for the petitions to junk

One really wonders: Supposing

CARD Visayas MRI scholars met for “Pagbulas”
The youth is the hope of
the nation, reminds a popular
adage.
CARD MRI, an advocate
for youth empowerment in the
country, has once again fulfilled
its role in helping shape the na-
tion's next leaders.
Last May 17 to May 20,
CARD MRI met with the com-
pany's 43 scholars in the Visayas
for a youth summit dubbed as
"Pagbulas." These 43 schol-
ars are part of the CARD MRI
Scholarship Program (CSP),
which has 8,142 total supported
scholars wherein 3,403 of them
have already graduated.
With a theme, "Getting to
Know Yourself Better towards
Better Relationships with your
Family, Peers, and Commu-
nity," the scholars took part in
a three-day summit and im-
mersed themselves in the wis-
dom and lessons from the ex-
ecutives.
The summit was graced by
Flordeliza Sarmiento, Manag-
ing Director of CARD MRI,
Dr. Dolores Torres, Senior
Management adviser, Marivic
Austria, CARD Bank CEO and
President, Oliver Reyes, CARD
MBA Deputy Director and
CARD, Inc. Executive Director
Jocelyn Dequito.
The first two days of the ac-
tivity centered on self-knowing
and exploration.
Dr. Torres, one of the first
speakers, provided the scholars
a preview of CARD's history,
an institution founded in 1986
by Dr. Jaime Aristotle Alip and
14 other development practi-
tioners with a mission centered
on poverty alleviation through
community development.
"CARD is a great place
to work for it is inspiring and
humbling. Strong stewardship
has been demonstrated by the
pioneers from the very start of
CARD," said Torres.
For her part, Director
Sarmiento encouraged the
participants to be competitive,
innovative, and become a help-
ing hand of CARD MRI in its
mission of eradicating poverty.
She stressed that as CARD suc-
ceeds so as the communities
and lives it has assisted through
its various programs.
Meanwhile, Ms. Austria
shared to the participants the
factors that made CARD MRI
a weapon for poverty eradi-
cation. Through community
building, health programs as
well as scholarship assistance
provided to the children of its
members, the institution envi-
sions Filipino individuals and
families free from the shackles
of poverty.
To give a preview of how
it is like to be a CARD MRI
employee, Senior HR manager
Angela Poonin discussed to the
participants the process of be-
coming part of the institution
as well as the benefits that em-
ployees will receive once they
join the company.

very much overwhelmed
most especially when I see
the array of talents – the
array of artistic abilities,
sports and above all, most
specially the national and
international expertise of
our awardees… and also
business.”
This was how Most Rev.
Rolando Octavus Joven Tria-
Tirona, OCD, D.D described
how he felt as he spoke before
a crowd of venerable ladies
and gentlemen who now com-
prised the prestigious list of
the annual Mayoral awardees
who have done an exemplary
deed to serve their commu-
nity.
