Nadakip ng mga awtoridad ang isang suspek sa pagpatay sa Mindoro na halos pitong taon nang nagtatago, sa pamamagitan ng masusing pagmamanman na humantong sa kanyang pagkakaaresto, ayon sa mga pulis nitong Lunes.

Kinilala ang suspek na si Alvin Alvares, 28, na naaresto sa Sitio Sta. Mesa, Barangay Babangunan, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro. Siya ay wanted sa pagpatay kay Rogelio Rempilio noong 2018 sa Lucena City, Quezon.

Ayon kay Col. Frankie C. Candelario, officer-in-charge ng Philippine National Police Intelligence Group (PNP-IG), ang pagkakahuli kay Alvares ay bunga ng isang maingat na binuong "intelligence packet" na tumulong sa pagtukoy sa kanyang kinaroroonan. May pabuyang P135,000 si Alvares mula sa Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Naglabas ng non-bailable arrest warrant laban sa kanya si Judge Romeo Buenaventura ng Lucena City Regional Trial Court noong Abril 14, 2019, makalipas ang insidente ng pagpatay.

Ang operasyon ay resulta ng pagtutulungan ng PNP-IG Counter-Intelligence Division at Police Regional Office 4-B na pinamumunuan ni Brig. Gen. Roger L. Quesada, na nagpapakita ng patuloy na pagsisikap ng PNP na mahuli ang mga matagal nang nagtatagong kriminal.

Si Alvares, residente ng Barangay Lumang Bayan, Calapan City, ay halos anim na taon at sampung buwang nakaiwas sa mga awtoridad bago tuluyang maaresto sa pamamagitan ng isang intelligence-led operation.

Shear Line at Amihan Magdudulot ng Ulan, Banta sa mga Ilog sa Isla ng Mindoro

Naglabas ang PAGASA ng weather update nitong Lunes, 12:20 ng tanghali, na nagbabala ng posibleng pagbaha sa isla ng Mindoro dahil sa shear line na nakaapekto sa silangang bahagi ng Southern Luzon at northeast monsoon o amihan na nakaapekto naman sa iba pang bahagi ng Luzon.

Ayon sa forecast, makakaranas ng mahina hanggang katamtamang pag-ulan at pagkulog-pagkidlat ang Mindoro sa susunod na 12 oras.

Dahil dito, maaaring maapektuhan ang ilang mga ilog at sanga ng ilog sa Oriental at Occidental Mindoro.

Sa Oriental Mindoro, posibleng bahain ang mga ilog at tributaryo ng Malaylay-Baco, P**ang Tubig, Mag-asawang Tubig, Butas, P**a, Agsalin, Bansud, Sumagui, Bongabong, Baroc, Bulalacao, at Balete.

Samantala, sa Occidental Mindoro, kabilang sa mga posibleng maapektuhan ang mga ilog at tributaryo ng Abra De Ilog, Caguray, Labangan, Lumintao, Anahawin, Monpong, Amnay, Pola, Pagbahan, Mamburao, Ibod, at Bugsanga-Magbando.

Pinapayuhan ang mga residente na nakatira malapit sa gilid ng bundok at mabababang lugar na malapit sa mga nabanggit na ilog na mag-ingat at maghanda para sa kanilang kaligtasan.

Ang mga Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils sa mga apektadong lugar ay pinaalalahanang manatiling nakaalerto.

Hinimok din ang publiko na maging mapagmatyag sa mga posibleng pagbaha, landslide, at iba pang banta ng masamang panahon. Inirerekomendang subaybayan ang mga lokal na balita at ulat-panahon at sundin ang mga kautusan sa paglikas kung kinakailangan.

Occidental Mindoro State College (OMSC) has made a historic mark in its first attempt at the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, securing the 58th position nationally and 1378th globally.

The rankings, which assessed 1,477 universities from 95 countries, shows OMSC's commitment to sustainable practices and eco-friendly initiatives, putting Mindoro on the global map for green education.

The UI GreenMetric World University Rankings were introduced in 2010 by Universitas Indonesia to measure and rank universities' commitment to sustainability.

The rankings have gained international recognition and participation, with universities from various countries assessed on their eco-friendly practices and initiatives.

Under the leadership of Dr. Elbert C. Edaniol, OMSC has demonstrated strong performance in areas such as waste management, renewable energy, and eco-friendly transportation, an academic report said.

OMSC's achievement manifests the collective efforts of its External Linkages and International Affairs (ELIA) department, along with all administrative and academic units, the report added.

While the 58th national ranking is a promising start, OMSC acknowledges that this is just the beginning of its sustainability journey.

OMSC's accomplishment also aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).

37 Dating Rebeldeng NPA sa Mindoro, Tumanggap ng Ayuda Mula sa Pamahalaan

Tumanggap ng tig-P10,000 ayuda ang 37 dating miyembro ng New People’s Army (NPA) sa Mindoro bilang bahagi ng programa ng pamahalaan para sa kanilang reintegrasyon sa lipunan.

Ang tulong pinansyal ay ipinagkaloob ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) sa pakikipagtulungan ng Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO).

Bahagi ito ng DSWD EO 70 Program na naglalayong maghatid ng iba’t ibang serbisyo at programa sa mga dating rebelde, pati na rin sa kanilang mga pamilya sa mga lugar na apektado ng insurhensiya.

Ayon kay Occidental Mindoro Governor Eduardo Gadiano, patuloy ang suporta ng pamahalaan sa mga sumukong rebelde na nagnanais magbagong buhay.

"Kinikilala natin ang mga hamong pinagdaanan ng ating mga dating rebelde, at sinisigurado natin na bibigyan sila ng sapat na tulong para makapagsimula ng panibagong buhay," ani Gadiano.

Pinangunahan ni PSWDO Chief Rosalina Lamoca ang pagsisiguro na maayos na naipamahagi ang tulong sa mga dating rebelde, katuwang ang mga kawani ng ahensiya.

Several major rivers in Oriental Mindoro have been flagged for critical or above-normal levels as of 8:00 p.m. on December 10, 2024 (Tuesday), sending alarms for communities living near river banks.

According to the status report issued by the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO), the critical levels of the river should push residents to remain vigilant.

The Bucayao and Panggalaan Rivers in Calapan are reported to be above normal levels, while the Longos River, also in Calapan, has reached critical levels.

In the municipality of Baco, three rivers—Alag, Tiboy, and Alpis—are all at critical levels.

Bucayao River: Above Normal Leve
The Bucayao River, a lifeline for irrigation and domestic water in Calapan, has a history of swelling during heavy rains.

In 2022, severe flooding in the Bucayao basin displaced hundreds of residents and damaged infrastructure.

The current status indicates the river is nearing overflow, posing a potential risk for low-lying barangays.

Panggalaan River: Above Normal Level
Similar to Bucayao, the Panggalaan River is vital for agriculture and daily water needs in Calapan.

During the onslaught of Typhoon Quinta in 2020, this river flooded several communities, causing huge damage to crops and property.

Longos River: Critical Level
The Longos River has been marked as a recurring hazard area.

In 2019, intense monsoon rains caused the river to breach its banks, flooding nearby residential zones.

LGU disaster personnel are closely monitoring the river to prevent a repeat of such events.

Alag, Tiboy, and Alpis Rivers: Critical Levels
Baco’s river systems, including the Alag, Tiboy, and Alpis Rivers, are known for their rapid response to heavy rainfall.

The 2021 flash floods in Baco, triggered by these rivers, left many barangays submerged, disrupting livelihoods and transportation.

With all three rivers now at critical levels, emergency protocols have been activated to prepare evacuation centers and mobilize rescue teams.

Oriental Mindoro's PDRRMO has advised residents living near these rivers to be prepared for possible evacuations and to heed weather updates and warnings.

The public is encouraged to monitor PDRRMO’s official communication channels for real-time updates and emergency contact numbers.

Calapan City has been reclassified as a second-class city from its previous third-class status, according to Oriental Mindoro First District Congressman Arnan C. Panaligan.

The reclassification, effective under Republic Act No. 11964, is based on the city's average annual regular income over the past three years, which showed notable growth through tax collections, service fees, and Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) shares.

Congressman Panaligan, who played a paramount role in advocating for the House of Representatives' version of the income thresholds, said the new law will benefit not only Calapan City but also other municipalities across the country.

Panaligan, one of the principal authors of the law, said the upgrade reflects the city's fiscal performance during 2021, 2022, and 2023, which coincided with his final term as City Mayor.

Several municipalities in Oriental Mindoro also benefited from the reclassification, with Baco and Victoria elevated to first-class municipalities, and San Teodoro, Socorro, and Pola now classified as second-class municipalities.

Naujan and Puerto Galera retained their first-class municipality status.

The reclassification is a reflection of the local government units' (LGUs) fiscal health, but Congressman Panaligan cautioned that it is not a direct indicator of development.

He pointed out the need for local officials to translate the increased income into meaningful developmental programs and enhanced public services.

The new law, also known as the "Automatic Income Classification Act for Local Government Units," amends the Local Government Code of 1991 and provides an updated and fair assessment of LGUs' fiscal capabilities.

The reclassification is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, with increased investments and job opportunities, the Mindoreño lawmaker said.

Bulalacao, Oriental Mindoro – Tatlong menor de edad ang sumuko sa mga awtoridad kaugnay ng brutal na pagpaslang sa mag-asawang Lorenzo Bautista, 79, at Armie Bautista, 71, sa kanilang tahanan sa Barangay Maujao.

Kinumpirma ni PNP Provincial Director Col. Edison V. Revita na ang mga suspek ay boluntaryong sumuko matapos ang masinsinang imbestigasyon ng pulisya. Iniuugnay ang mga ito sa isang lumalaking grupo ng kriminal na sangkot umano sa nakawan ng motorsiklo sa Occidental Mindoro.

Natagpuan ang mag-asawa na parehong nagtamo ng maraming saksak, indikasyon ng marahas na krimen. Sa crime scene, narekober ang isang duguang bolo at kaluban nito. Samantala, nawawala ang kanilang dalawang Android phones, mga ID, at ATM cards na pinaniniwalaang motibo ng krimen.

Sa harap ng kanilang legal na kinatawan, umamin umano ang mga suspek sa pagpatay sa mag-asawa. Patuloy ang malalimang imbestigasyon upang alamin kung may iba pang kasabwat sa karumal-dumal na insidente.

Ang krimen ay labis na ikinabigla ng mga residente ng Bulalacao, isang bayan na kilala sa tahimik at mapayapang komunidad. Ang mga biktima, na kapwa iginagalang na propesyonal sa kanilang lugar, ay nagluksa ang mga kaanak at kababayan sa kanilang pagkamatay.
