Tumaas ang bilang ng mga insidente ng sunog ngayong taon 2024 kumpara noong 2023. Sa kabuuan, naitala ang 76 na kaso ngayong taon, mas mataas kaysa sa 56 na kaso noong nakaraang taon. Umabot naman sa mahigit P80 hanggang P100 milyon ang naitalang halaga ng pinsala dulot ng mga sunog.

Ayon kay Senior Fire Officer 1 Eugene Paul Manuel, pangunahing sanhi ng mga sunog ay ang kapabayaan ng ilan sa ating mga mamamayan. Ilan sa mga posibleng dahilan nito ay:

Pag-iwan sa mga nakasinding kandila, sigarilyo, o kalan.
Hindi tamang paggamit ng kuryente tulad ng octopus wiring at overloaded outlets.
Paggamit ng substandard na electrical appliances.
Sinabi rin ni SFO1 Manuel na ang mga ganitong insidente ay maaaring maiwasan kung magiging mas maingat ang publiko.

Mga Hakbang para Maiwasan ang Sunog:

Regular na inspeksyunin ang mga linya ng kuryente at appliances.
Siguraduhing patayin ang kalan, kandila, at iba pang heat sources bago matulog o umalis ng bahay.
Magkaroon ng fire extinguisher at pag-aralan ang tamang paggamit nito.

Magsagawa ng fire drills at edukasyon sa mga miyembro ng pamilya tungkol sa tamang tugon sa sunog.

Bilang bahagi ng kampanya para maiwasan ang sunog, nagsagawa ng Kapihan sa SM Mall ang Philippine Information Agency (PIA) ngayong Disyembre. Panauhin dito sina Senior Fire Officer 1 Eugene Paul Manuel ng Bureau of Fire Protection Puerto Princesa City at Senior Fire Officer 4 Alex Calangi mula naman sa Provincial Bureau of Fire Protection. Naibahagi nila ang mahahalagang paalala upang maiwasan ang sunog at maprotektahan ang buhay at ari-arian ng publiko.

Patuloy na pinaigting ng Provincial Veterinary Office (ProVet) ang pagbabantay sa mga major point of entries sa Palawan upang tiyakin na hindi makapasok ang pinangangambahang African Swine Fever (ASF) sa lalawigan.

Ito ay alinsunod sa direktiba ni Gobernador Dennis M. Socrates, na layong protektahan ang industriya ng baboy at maiwasan ang posibleng pagkalat ng virus sa rehiyon.

Ayon kay Dr. Darius Pe Mangcucang, ang Provincial Veterinarian, ang ProVet ay naglatag ng mga quarantine personnel sa mga daungan at paliparan sa iba't ibang bahagi ng Palawan. Nakikipagtulungan din sila sa mga ahensiya ng pamahalaang nasyunal upang mapigilan ang posibleng pagpasok ng mga produktong baboy mula sa mga lugar na may kaso ng ASF.

"Lalo na sa ganitong mga buwan ng holiday season, maraming mga tao ang nagpupuslit ng mga ipinagbabawal na karne ng baboy." ani Mangcucang.

Isa sa mga lugar na masusing binabantayan ng ProVet ay ang munisipyo ng San Vicente, na kamakailan lang ay nakatanggap ng direktang flight mula sa Cebu, isang lugar na nakapagtala ng ASF.

Ayon kay Mangcucang, nakumpiska kamakailan ng mga otoridad ang tinatayang 15 kilo ng pork products mula sa isang turista sa San Vicente. Agad itong sinunog ng mga awtoridad bilang bahagi ng kanilang standard operating procedures.

Bilang karagdagan, ipinatutupad ang disinfection protocols sa mga sasakyan at iba pang transportasyon upang maiwasan ang pagkalat ng ASF sa buong lalawigan.

Ang mga hakbang na ito ay batay sa Provincial Resolution No. 19896 series of 2024, na layong tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng mga residente ng Palawan mula sa ASF.

Samantala, patuloy ang panawagan ng mga lokal na awtoridad sa mga mamamayan at turista na maging mapanuri sa kanilang mga biyahe at iwasan ang pagpasok ng mga ilegal na produkto ng baboy upang mapanatiling ligtas ang Palawan mula sa panganib ng ASF.

Isang Grade 11 student ng Roxas National Comprehensive High School (RNCHS) sa Palawan ang nasa ilalim ng trauma sa ngayon matapos makaligtas sa kidnapping matapos umano siyang dukutin ng isang tricycle driver at dalhin sa isang liblib na lugar, Lunes ng hapon, Disyembre 16.

Ayon sa mga magulang na bandang 12:35 p.m. nang mag-text ang anak niyang si “Aira” na papasok sa paaralan, ngunit hindi na nakauwi sa kanilang bahay sa Brgy. Roxas. Nagdulot ito ng pangamba sa pamilya matapos nilang malaman mula sa mga kaklase nito na hindi ito pumasok sa klase.

Sa salaysaly ni Aira sa ina, sumakay umano siya sa isang tricycle papuntang eskwelahan ngunit bigla siyang iniliko ng driver sa direksyon papunta sa isang beach. Dito, tinutukan umano siya ng patalim at tinakpan ang kanyang ilong hanggang mawalan siya ng malay. Sa kanyang pagkamalay, nagawa niyang makatakas at magtago sa kadiliman upang makaiwas sa mga humahabol sa kanya.

"Luhaan siyang nagkwento sa amin na tumakas siya at naglakad pauwi ng walang tsinelas,” saad ng nanay sa kanyang Facebook post na umapela ng tulong. Dagdag niya, bandang 2:55 a.m. ng makabalik sa kanilang tahanan si Aira matapos ang nakakatakot na karanasan.

Matindi ang trauma na naranasan ng estudyante, ayon sa pamilya, lalo na’t hindi niya natandaan ang mukha ng suspek dahil ito ay may takip.

Dahil sa insidente, nanawagan ang mga magulang nito para sa agarang imbestigasyon at katarungan. Hiniling nila sa mga awtoridad na tugisin ang nasabing tricycle driver upang maiwasan ang ganitong insidente sa ibang mga estudyante.

Samantala, patuloy ang paalala sa mga magulang at estudyante na maging mapanuri sa mga sinasakyang pampublikong transportasyon at mag-ingat sa kanilang biyahe.

A low-pressure area (LPA) within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours, weather bureau PAGASA said on Tuesday, December 17. If it reaches storm status, it will be named “Querubin” under the local naming system.

The Japan Meteorological Agency has already classified the weather disturbance as a Minor Tropical Depression as of 8 a.m. today. PAGASA, on the other hand, reported that the LPA was last spotted 205 kilometers east-southeast of Tagum City, Davao del Norte (6.8°N, 127.1°E).

It remains embedded within the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which is currently affecting Visayas and Mindanao.

Meanwhile, according to PAGASA Weather Specialist Rhea Torres, “As of 2 a.m., this LPA has been upgraded to high, meaning there is a strong likelihood that it will develop into a tropical depression within 24 hours.”

The LPA is expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms across Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and the Davao Region. PAGASA warns residents in these areas to prepare for possible flooding and landslides, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas.

Meanwhile, the shear line continues to affect parts of Luzon, particularly Bicol Region and Quezon, where scattered rains and thunderstorms are also expected.

Between October and November alone, the Philippines endured six storms, leaving 171 fatalities and widespread damage to homes, crops, and livestock.

With the potential formation of Tropical Depression Querubin, PAGASA urges the public to remain vigilant and stay updated on official advisories, as the weather system continues to strengthen.

The Batak, indigenous people in northeastern Puerto Princesa, are crucial in protecting critical habitats because of their close relationship with nature, their traditional knowledge, and the way they manage their land and natural resources.

Recognizing their importance in protecting the city’s Cleopatra’s Needle Critical Habitat (CNCH), the city government spearheaded a full-blown campaign teaching and urging locals in the area, specifically Batak, to protect their rich and biodiverse natural environment.

Recently, the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (City ENRO) through the Cleopatra’s Needle Critical Habitat (CNCH) Management Office conducted Communication, Education, and Public Awareness (CEPA) Campaign at Barangays Binduyan, San Rafael, Concepcion and Tanabag. These campaigns aim to educate and raise the awareness of the local residents, barangay officials, and the IP community about the importance of the Cleopatra’s Needle as a critical habitat.

Joining the City ENRO in this activity, were Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD), and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through their CENR Office.

In 2017, the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD) declared Cleopatra’s Needle Forest Reserve encompassing 41,350 hectares as Critical Habitat pursuant to the Philippine Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act (RA 9147). It comprises the barangays of San Rafael, Tanabag, Concepcion, Binduyan, Langogan, Tagabinet and New Panggangan in the northern part of Puerto Princesa.

Since then, the city government through the City ENRO already exercised measures to establish effective and efficient management of the area including initiatives for the formulation of the management plan. Mayor Lucilo Bayron also issued executive order creating the CNCH management board, a multi-sectoral body.

Cleopatra’s Needle is the city’s highest peak at 1,593 meters above sea level. City Environment and Natural Resources Officer (City ENRO) Atty. Carlo Gomez described the iconic Cleopatra’s Needle that is “towering mighty over other landmark in Puerto Princesa”. It also appears that it is key in mitigating climate change threats and natural catastrophes in the future.

The CNCH Management Office identified three priority threatened species within the area—-Palawan Pangolin (Manis culionensis) locally known as balintong-considered as the most trafficked mammal in the world. Then the endangered Palawan Bearcat (Artictis binturong whitei), and the resin they call bagtik from Almaciga (Agathis philippinensis), which is the primary source of livelihood of Batak and other indigenous people.

In a 2017 study titled, “Effects of resin harvesting on the status of the Agathis philippinensis population in the CNCH” that was authored by Lars Vermeer et. al. of the Wageningen University and Research Centre based in the Netherlands, in collaboration with local-based Western Philippines University (WPU) and Center for Sustainability PH Inc., observed a decline of A. philippinensis trees in the area, because of commercialization in harvesting Almaciga resin.

The study pointed out that these are caused by removing too much bark in terms of surface area (overtapping) and depth (deep tapping). As a result, the population of A. philippinensis cannot reproduce, which creates an imminent local extinction and might lose its profitability within 20 years.

An article published by Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) said that the almaciga resin, the world-renowned Manila copal, is an important dollar earner among the country’s NTFP. These resins (Manila copal) is used in manufacturing varnishes, lacquer, soap, paint, printing inks, linoleum, shoe polish, floor wax, plastic, water proofing materials, etc.

CNCH is synonymous to Puerto Princesa and the communities living within the area, as depicted in oral traditions, stories, songs, and local tales especially among the indigenous peoples. Aside from being an anchor of a vast number of ecosystems supporting a megadiverse number of species, it help minimize the effects of landslide, floods, and other threats if protected properly.

The CNCH management office under the Office of the City ENRO is expected to perform challenging tasks, specifically in strengthening the protection, conservation and management of the critical habitat. They are also collaborating with other government agencies, stakeholders, and private sector partners, to ensure that the CNCH is well protected and managed. A testament that the present generations of Puerto Princesans treasured CNCH as an heirloom that they can pass on to the next generations.

[𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐍] 𝐔𝐑𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐄𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐒

Urbanization and poor urban planning are major contributors to environmental problems.

Cities emerge as nucleus for production, invention, and economic activities, providing opportunities for poverty alleviation and improvement of quality of life. However, as we build more cities, thorough and comprehensive planning is needed, or else it will trigger environmental degradation and social decay, and would affect human health and livelihood.

The role of our cities are vital in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, thus, comprehensive planning is necessary.

Poor urban planning can lead to a number of negative consequences such as overcrowding and exposure to natural hazards, and these are evident in some poorly planned cities.

Although there are other consequences aside from overcrowding and exposure to natural hazards, such as traffic congestion, social instability, nutrition transition, etc. I can discuss overcrowding and exposure to natural hazards being a disaster risk reduction and management practitioner from 2011 until 2017 as a municipal DRRMO in my home province.

As managers of an emerging city, plans for affordable housing should be given a paramount consideration. This will be in anticipation of the influx of people from other places. Absent this, people will be forced to squat in mangroves areas, coastlines or specifically in easement and salvage zones if not along rivers and creeks. Overcrowding also results to high rents and property values, making it difficult for people to afford to live in the city.

When these people informally settled in coastlines, mangroves, riverbanks, and other idle lots, they are exposed to natural hazards.

But instead of transferring them away from the risks of sea level rise, flood, storm surges, and other natural hazards, political leaders promised them that the piece of land where they erected their shanties will be awarded to these informal settlers because he is working to have it reclassified.

The reclassification of these land does not remove the risks. As a result of patronage politics, more people settled in these areas creating complex problems that threaten the city’s natural environment. Informal settlers cut down mangroves, dump and fill earth materials in areas within the coastlines, and conduct their day-to-day business in areas which are supposedly no-build zones.

This should be stopped. But the question is: do our leaders have the political will to do so?

In an article published by Geneva Environment Network through their website, it said that cities are major drivers of environmental change. Urban sprawl transforms landscapes thereby affecting ecosystems and biodiversity. Cities are also a major contributor to climate change, as they are responsible for around 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

“Urban areas also generate considerable amounts of waste, much of which remains poorly managed and becomes hazardous to people’s and ecosystems’ health. Air pollution, which is responsible for 9% of deaths worldwide and many health issues, is also a particularly accute problem in cities, due to transportation and production patterns.” (Ritchie & Roser, 2017)

Undeniably, the environment provides numerous ecosystem services, which are crucial for food production, clean water, and flood and climate regulation, among others. Thus, our cities and their environment are interwoven.

Preparing our cities and its inhabitants to become more sustainable, climate resilient that work in accord with the natural environment is vital to protect the people’s welfare, livelihood and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs).

Eight decades have passed, but the courage and sacrifice of Palaweño and American heroes during World War II remain etched in history. On December 14, the Provincial Government of Palawan joined the solemn commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Plaza Cuartel tragedy, a grim reminder of the atrocities of war and the bravery it inspired.

The ceremony included a wreath-laying and a retelling of the harrowing events of December 14, 1944, when Japanese soldiers herded American POWs into air-raid shelters, set them on fire using gasoline, and shot those who tried to escape. Only 11 men managed to survive the massacre.

In attendance were representatives from government agencies, the Foreign Veterans War, and local organizations, with the Palawan Liberation Task Force leading the event alongside the Western Command and the Palawan Special Battalion World War II Museum.

Atty. Lara Mae Cacal, Peace and Order Program Director, represented Governor Dennis Socrates and delivered his heartfelt message.

"We, at the Provincial Government of Palawan, extend our deepest respect to the families of our heroes, whose love and sacrifices continue to shape the future of our province. Let their hardships remind us of the responsibility we share in maintaining the peace that we now enjoy", the message read.

The event was organized by the Palawan Liberation Task Force in collaboration with the Western Command, Palawan Special Battalion World War II Museum, and Rajah Travel Corporation. Representatives from various government agencies and the Foreign Veterans War were also in attendance.

Plaza Cuartel, once a garrison during World War II, now stands as a memorial park and shrine to the 139 Americans who were massacred there in 1944.

The Provincial Veterinary Office (ProVet) rolled out its latest anti-rabies vaccination campaign in Barangay Rio Tuba, Bataraza. More than 500 dogs received free vaccinations during the activity, marking another step toward a rabies-free Palawan.

Dr. Darius Pe Mangcucang, the Provincial Veterinarian, commended the growing number of responsible pet owners in the area.

"Isang nakakatuwang obserbasyon sa panahon ng aming pagbabakuna ay dumarami na ang mga pet owners na nagiging responsable sa kanilang mga alagang aso’t pusa. Magandang bagay ito kung lahat ng mga households ay sasamantalahin ang pagkakataong magpabakuna ng kanilang mga alaga upang maiwasan ang rabies," said Mangcucang.

The anti-rabies campaign isn’t just about safety; it’s also about promoting a culture of responsibility. For many Riotuba residents, it’s a chance to bond with their pets while contributing to the health and welfare of the community.

ProVet hopes to see this active participation grow across Palawan. Their ultimate goal: a province completely free from rabies. With events like this and the enthusiasm of local pet owners, that dream feels more achievable than ever.

Napuna ni Konsehal Elgin Damasco sa kanyang Facebook post ang patuloy na malakihang illegal quarrying sa Barangay Bacungan at Sta. Lourdes sa lungsod ng Puerto Princesa.

Ayon sa kanya, tila hindi patas ang pagpapatupad ng batas, dahil ang mga maliliit na kababayan na nagpupuslit ng ilang sako ng uling o namumutol ng kahoy para ipaayos ang kanilang bahay ay agad na hinuhuli at kinakasuhan ng gobyerno.

Ibinahagi rin niya ang mga sitwasyon ng maraming mahihirap nating kababayan na nahuli at kinasuhan ng DENR at City ENRO matapos mahuling nagpupuslit ng ilang sako ng uling upang makabili ng bigas at ulam para sa kanilang pamilya.

Dagdag pa rito, may mga kababayan din na napilitang pumutol ng kahoy upang ayusin ang kanilang bahay ngunit nakasuhan pa rin. Ang ilan sa kanila ay nagkaingin para makapagtanim, ngunit hanggang ngayon ay nakakulong dahil sa kawalan ng pambayad sa piyansa.

Tanong ni Damasco, “Bakit ang malakihang illegal mountain quarry operation sa Bacungan at Sta. Lourdes, na malinaw na pagmimina at pagnanakaw sa mineral na pag-aari ng estado, ay hindi hinuhuli at kinakasuhan?”

The Birth: Palawan Daily News

Amidst the climate of social and political inquisitiveness of the people, the press has risen. For the public to know, to be continuously updated, and to be fully awakened to what is happening in the society they belong – these have been the purposes of the news media, and these should always be.

Palawan Daily News, with its established values, perfectly understands the essence of journalism, and is ready to breathe out balanced news stories that push for transparency and accountability.

PDN is here to also offer substantially new engaging contents in various fields, highlighting current issues that need the attention and participation of the public and the state.

With the use of the internet, acquiring news nowadays is just one click away from its readers. Practical and efficient if, and only if, it is not “fake news.” One that is rampant today is the spread of unreliable and fallacious half-truths over the internet. Worth to note that generally, news content tends to be dominated by government and social issues. It covers mainly a great portion of the dailies, with the business and investments also in line with the situation of the state – making the information that is fed to the people crooked and a statement that nobody can rely on. This is why Palawan Daily News is founded – to deliver news to the world that is seeking for the truth, and to present a non-biased journalism.

Article III, Section 4 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states that, “No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.” This serves as the center point and basis for the mass media practice in the Philippines. This clause also carries with it the history of the Filipinos’ fight for freedom – the nationalistic fervor that fueled journalism and should continuously nurture it. The media has the power over information, it only depends on how to use this power to serve the people.

Moreover, according to Article II, Section 24, “The state recognizes the vital role of communication and information in nation-building,” and that, therefore, mass media serves as a conduit that ensures the flow of information between the government and the governed. This clause, in conjunction with the Freedom of Expression, vividly presents the objectives and purposes of the press. These set the scope and limits of the power of mass media, their responsibilities and obligations to the public.

The Palawan Daily News pledges to strive to live by these tenets however gigantic a task alongside with its definite values and vision. PDN believes that in order to achieve its goals as a medium of communication between the State and the people, the members and contributors should work with integrity, respect and teamwork, valuing people, performing with high level of excellence and quality with great accuracy and impartiality. PDN envisions to be as a trusted publishing company in the region of MIMAROPA, reaching out to the people not only locally, but also globally.

“It should never be in the interest of the newspaper, but to the interest of the people.” A newspaper is a medium of communication which should always seek the truth from lies for the news to never be crooked – because credible and unbiased information serve as the foundation of trust between the people, the media and the society, as a whole. MIMAROPA, Palawan Daily News is now born.
