Insurgency: Negros Oriental on the Way to Being Insurgency Free

Recently the AFP declared the whole of the Davao region to be insurgency free. Now, two more villages in Mindanao, this time in Cotabato, have also been declared insurgency free.

The towns of Matalam and Mlang in Cotabato province have been cleared of communist rebels, according to 1st Lt. Michael Allan Eugenio, the civil-military relations officer of the Army’s 90th Infantry Battalion.

The municipal councils of the two towns have also passed resolutions affirming the Army declaration, Eugenio said.

‘The declaration came after our consistent military operations and efforts in reaching out to the former rebel-influenced communities, sectors, and organizations through the Community Support Program (CSP),” he said.

Eugenio said government troops had neutralized the two units of the New People’s Army — Guerilla Front 53 in Matalam and Guerilla Front 72 Mt. Alip Command, which operated at the borders of Mlang with South Cotabato province and parts of Davao del Sur.

Eugenio added that, through the CSP, security forces discovered and dismantled three underground mass organizations run by the Kilusang Rebolusyonaryo sa Barangay (KRB).

He said 41 NPA personalities also surfaced, including 35 members of the KRB and the Sangay ng Partido sa Lokalidad, among others.

The 90^th Infantry Battalion, he said, would continue with activities to wrest other towns in its area of jurisdiction away from communist influence.

On the heels of declaring the entire region of Davao insurgency free it appears the AFP is now focusing their sights on Negros Oriental. Last week a top NPA official was killed and another one was arrested. The AFP says this arrest will thwart the NPA's attempts at regrouping.

The arrest of a leader of a dismantled guerrilla front of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) in southern Negros Oriental has dealt a further blow to its efforts to recover their area, an official of the Philippine Army said on Monday.

 

Lt. Col. Roderick Salayo, commanding officer of the 11th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army, told the Philippine News Agency that the arrest of Reneboy Haniala Pagon last week has further weakened the insurgency movement in the south.

 

Pagon, 34, resident of Sitio Balascan in Barangay Napacao, Siaton town, was tagged as the leader of Squad 2 of the Southeast Front (SEF) under the Rachel Mae Palang Command.

 

He was arrested last Oct. 14 in Sitio Salingkubong, Barangay Tayak of the same town by virtue of arrest warrants for separate criminal offenses.

 

Salayo said the remnants of the dismantled SEF of the Komiteng Rehiyon-Negros, Cebu, Bohol, and Siquijor continue to recruit members but relentless government efforts have prevented them from succeeding.

 

They are also definitely affected in general by the recent series of operations by government troops against the CPP-NPA, he said.

 

Some of them have also already signified their intent to surrender to authorities but Salayo said they are still “testing the waters”.

 

“The biggest impact on the SEF is that we are relentlessly pursuing them and it’s already been a year since we conducted continuous operations against them,” he said in mixed English and Filipino.

What has been the result of a continuous year of operations against the NPA in Negros Oriental? 8 dead and 18 weapons recovered.

https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1186356

Security operations of various units under the Philippine Army’s 303rd Infantry Brigade (IBde) in Negros Island have resulted in the death of eight Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) rebels and the confiscation of 18 firearms and explosives between March 23, 2021 and October 10 this year.

“We will remain focused on sustaining the momentum in capacitating the 303rd Brigade towards greater mission effectiveness. We will live up to our brand of honor, patriotism, and duty. We will remain steadfast and resolute in our mandate of serving the people and securing the land,” Brig. Gen. Inocencio Pasaporte, commander of 303IBde, said in a statement on Monday.

In 2021, the troops figured in encounters in Sitio Agit, Barangay Trinidad, Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental on March 23; Hacienda Raymunda, Barangay Kapitan Ramon, Silay City, Negros Occidental, Aug. 20; Barangay San Pablo, Manapla, Negros Occidental, Sept. 30.

This year, the clashes were in Barangay Suay on March 18 and Barangay Carabalan on Oct. 10 -- both in Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental.

Data showed the troops seized 11 high-powered firearms, including six M16 rifles, two M14 rifles, an M60 general purpose machine gun, an M4 carbine, and a KG9 pistol, along with two hand grenades, a fragmentary grenade, a 9mm pistol, and three low-powered firearms.

This year, the CPP-NPA leaders killed were Romeo Nanta also known as Juanito Magbanua, the commanding officer of the Regional Operational Command of the NPA’s Komiteng Rehiyon-Negros, on Oct. 10; and Ramon “Using” Patriarca, deputy secretary and finance officer of Komiteng Rehiyon-Negros, last March 18.

Last year, among those who died were Kerima Lorena Tariman and Marilyn “Monet” Badayos, both of the now dismantled Northern Negros Front.

Also, 14 CPP-NPA members, including leaders and cadres, were arrested.

It would appear that there have been no surrenders in Negros Oriental but that is not the case as there were were 19 in July of this year. 

https://pia.gov.ph/news/2022/07/05/19-npa-rebels-surrender-in-negor

After realizing they have no future and became fed up with the false promises of the Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs), 19 combatant members of the New People's Army (NPA) voluntarily surrendered to authorities of the 94th Infantry Battalion at Barangay Tambo, Ayungon in Negros Oriental.

"The cooperation of the people has been a great factor in enlightening many of our brothers of choosing the right path towards peace,” said Brigadier General Inocencio Pasaporte, 303rd brigade commander of the Philippine Army. 

The official also hopes that more will surrender in the interest of reconciliation for the peace and development of the NPA members. 

In a simple ceremony, the surrenderers took their oath of allegiance to the government to officially cut their ties with the CPP-NPA-NDF terrorist group and to publicly denounce the CTGs.

During the ceremony, the former NPA members burned the CPP-NPA-NDF flag at the headquarters of the 94th Infantry Battalion in Ayungon town on July 2.

In August 4 NPA officials from Negros Oriental surrendered. 

https://pia.gov.ph/news/2021/08/10/4-npa-officials-surrender-in-negor

Four high ranking officials of the New People’s Army (NPA) surrendered on Aug. 7 to authorities of the Philippine Army’s 11th Infantry Battalion (IB). 

The 11th IB based in Siaton town reported that the CPP-NPA terrorists brought with them some firearms.

Lt. Col. Roderick Salayo, 11IB commanding officer, identified the surrenderees as alias Jango and alias Jay, both members of Regional Striking Force (RSF), Komiteng Rehiyon-Negros Cebu Bohol Siquijor (KR-NCBS); alias Rodel, vice squad leader of Squad 3, Central Negros 2; and alias Bong, the remaining squad leader of South East Front.  

Salayo said Bong and Rodel also surrendered some firearms, qualifying him to be enrolled in the government's Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (ECLIP) for rebel returnees.

Surrendered firearms include two Cal. 45 pistol with 28 live ammunitions.

“Realizing that this is for the betterment of their lives and their families, they surrendered themselves to the government with the help of the troops,” the Philippine Army official said.

“It’s so difficult in the hinterlands because we have no place to hide, and the people no longer support us. We can do nothing anymore to fight back because our image or front has already been damaged,” Jango said.  

Salayo lauded the four surrenderees for choosing the right path and leaving behind the armed struggle.

“The surrender of these ranking CNTs is a clear indication that they are demoralized and fed up with the atrocities and ruthlessness of their group,” he said. 

All the while the AFP is doing its job of neutralizing the CPP-NPA former NTF-ELCAC Lorraine Badoy sees communists everywhere. This time in the Benguet Electrical Cooperative or BENECO. They strongly deny this accusation. 

https://www.beneco.com.ph/article.php?id=91

We strongly and highly condemn the statements of LORRAINE MARIE T. BADOY-PARTOSA, an anchor of SMNI News Channel, linking the Benguet Electric Cooperative (BENECO) to the CPP-NPA-NDF. We were horrified by the gall of her declaration during a recent interview with Col. Christopher C. Sab-it, Deputy Brigate Commander of the 503rd Infantry Brigade, that our electric cooperative has been infiltrated by the CPP-NPA-NDF and has become a milking cow of these organizations.

We find the said statements malicious. We find her charges a clear case of red tagging. This has endangered our lives as employees and officers of BENECO. And to think that LORRAINE MARIE T. BADOY-PARTOSA made her call while hosting some sort of a public affairs program made her standards of ethical journalism highly suspect. The way she purveyed her views obviously manifested her disregard of the rules of fair play in media. The way she deported herself though manifested her sheer ignorance of what BENECO is all about.

We dare publicly summon LORRAINE MARIE T. BADOY-PARTOSA to provide us the information which she said was in her possession during the program. She has to produce them and prove the truth of her accusation. It was an outright peroration that besmirched BENECO's reputation before its Member Consumer Owners (MCOs) who reside in towns and communities that the electric cooperative has so fervently served since 1973.

Madam LORRAINE MARIE T. BADOY-PARTOSA, you practically put us in a bad light. That's libel. BENECO is an electric cooperative committed to perform its mandate to bring light to the rural areas. But we do not only energize. We also fight for what is right.

Lorraine Badoy's exact words were:

“I got information that even BENECO is infiltrated by the CPP-NPA-NDF and it’s like their milking cow. Diyan sila kumukuha ng kanilang pondo (It is where they get financing) to fund terrorism and corruption to maintain a certain lifestyle,” she said. 

https://www.rappler.com/nation/luzon/benguet-electric-coop-hits-badoy-red-tagging/

Those are damning allegations for sure and quite libelous if she cannot provide the proof she claims to possess. It is only a matter of time before she falsely red-tags the wrong person and is permanently silenced.

Benguet is in Luzon and the AFP says more NPA fronts have recently collapsed in Northern Luzon.

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1681551/2-npa-guerilla-fronts-fall-to-afps-nolcom-troops

The Northern Luzon Command (Nolcom) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines on Tuesday (Oct. 18) claimed to have dismantled two guerilla fronts of the New People’s Army in the Cagayan Valley region during the last three months.

The west and east front committees also fell to Nolcom forces, it said in a statement released from Camp Aquino in Tarlac City.

It did not cite which fronts straddle the Cagayan Valley provinces of Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino.

Comments by the NPA in those areas cannot be immediately obtained.

The third quarter of 2022 also saw the arrest and surrender of 25 “communist terrorist personalities” and the seizure of 60 firearms, military and police commanders reported in a review and assessment held on Monday.

According to Nolcom, it has assisted 1,156 former rebels in availing of the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program since 2018.

Communist insurgency in the Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and Central Luzon regions is “at the tipping point and it only needs one final push,” Nolcom chief Lt. Gen Ernesto Torres Jr. said.

Earlier, he announced that CAR remained the last bastion of that five-decade-old insurgency.

The insurgency operating in the CAR "only needs one final push." Perhaps that push will come soon and Negros Oriental and the CAR will be declared insurgency free.

In Abra, which is located in the CAR, an NPA recruiter surrendered to the AFP.

https://www.kalinawnews.com/communist-terrorist-recruiter-surrender-to-govt-troops-in-abra/

A member of the Communist Terrorist Group voluntarily surrendered to the troops of the Joint Task Force Kaugnay’s 24th Infantry Battalion and the Abra Provincial Police in the vicinity of Brgy Laplapog, Villaviciosa, Abra on Wednesday, October 12, 2022.

The military identified the surrendered personality as Darson Gimbaoan Tubban Jr alias “Dindo”, a 54-year-old resident of Brgy Laplapog, Villaviciosa, Abra, and a lie-low former squad leader of Samahang Yunit Pang Propaganda of the dissolved Kilusang Larangang Gerilya-Montes, Ilocos Cordillera Regional Committee (ICRC) which operates in the areas of Abra, Mountain Province, and Ilocos Sur.

The former terrorist recruiter is currently undergoing custodial debriefing wherein he revealed that he has grown “tired and weary” from hiding and running away from the authorities.

Tubban also added that the relentless Community Support Programs of the military and the Task Force to End Local Community Armed Conflict (ELCAC) in the area have motivated him further to return to the folds of the law.

Another recruiter, this time from Quezon, has also surrendered. 

https://mb.com.ph/2022/10/20/npa-recruiter-surrenders-in-quezon/

A 19-year-old member and recruiter of the New People’s Army (NPA) surrendered to authorities on Wednesday, Oct. 19, in this town.

The San Andres police identified the surrenderer as Roldan Tayactac, a student with the alias “Dodong.”

Tayactac, who yielded a .38 caliber revolver, was accompanied by barangay chairman Raul Endonilla.

He was a member of the Regular ng Suportang Masa (RSG) or Malitiang Bayan (MB) under Sub-Regional Military Area (SRMA) 4-B.

Tayactac told the San Andres police, 2nd Quezon Provincial Mobile Force Company, and 85th Infantry Battalion that he was recruited on Feb. 16, 2016 at the age of 13 by Joseph delos Santos, alias “Bingot,” of Platoon Reymark of the SRMA 4-B.

He recruited in the towns of San Narciso, San Andres, San Francisco, and Mulanay.

That's two recruiters who have surrednered in one week. How many more are out there? Certainly the NPA has not given up on attempting to regain strength despite the gains made against them by the AFP. 

The Refusal of Marcos to Appoint a DOH Secretary is Unconscionable

In a brave and stunning move which highlights his complete ignorance and lack of care for Filipinos President Bongbong Marcos has revealed that he will not be appointing an official DOH Secretary until the COVID situation in the nation normalizes. But the fact that the COVID situation is NOT normalized is exactly why there needs to be an official DOH Secretary and not just an OIC. But it is not only COVID that is plaguing the nation. There is an ongoing health crisis which needs to be addressed immediately. 

Measles and rubella cases are up 153% this year. 

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1675842/measles-rubella-cases-up-153-doh

The Department of Health (DOH) has recorded a total of 450 measles and rubella cases so far this year, 153 percent higher than 2021.

The DOH released this data — covering the period Jan. 1 to Sept. 17 — on Wednesday, after earlier warning of an impending measles outbreak by 2023 if the vaccination coverage of children against the said virus does not improve.

Alarmed by the data, Albay Rep. Joey Salceda urged the government to take advantage of the resumption of in-person classes and vaccinate more schoolchildren in order to avert a possible measles outbreak by early 2023.In a statement, Salceda said the resumption of in-person classes is an “opportunity to expand vaccination” among schoolchildren.

He added: “In the long run, we need to build capacity for vaccinating against common diseases. That is one function that an institutionalized Center for Disease Control can boost.”

Salceda made the remarks after DOH officer in charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said the agency needs more funds to hire more vaccinators and improve vaccination coverage because over one million children missed their routine vaccines during the pandemic, including measles shots.

Measles cases alone are up 179%.

https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2022/10/13/PH-measles-cases-179--higher.html

The Department of Health (DOH) on Thursday reported a massive increase in measles cases in the country in September this year compared to the same period last year.

Latest DOH data showed there were 11 additional cases from Sept. 11 to 17, bringing the total to 413 as of Sept. 24. This posted a 179% increase compared to the same period last year where there were only 148 cases.

The DOH has warned there will be an outbreak by next year unless vaccination rates improve. 

Dengue cases are up 191%.

https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/14/22/doh-dengue-cases-up-191-pct-from-jan-1-oct-1

The Philippines has logged 173,233 dengue cases since the start of the year, which is 191 percent higher from the number of cases recorded in 2021, the Department of Health said Friday.

According to Dr. Alethea De Guzman, director of DOH's epidemiology bureau, dengue cases in the country started increasing in the third week of March.

"We peaked in the second week of July and now, we can see in the epidemic curve that the dengue cases have continued to decrease," she said in a press briefing.

From January 1 to October 1 last year, the Philippines had 59,514 dengue cases.

In the press briefing, De Guzman said dengue cases have also declined in all areas with declared outbreak, except Southern Leyte. These are Zamboanga City, Antique and Zamboanga Sibugay.

While dengue cases are now declining it is alarming that they rose so high in the first place and it is possible they could spike once more. 

Cholera cases are up 282%.

https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/847670/philippines-cholera-cases-282-higher-this-year-at-3-729-says-doh/story/

A total of 3,729 cholera cases have been recorded in the country since January 2022, which is 282% higher compared to the data during the same period last year, the Department of Health (DOH) said Tuesday.

At a press conference, DOH officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said that in 2022, there were only 976 cholera cases.

Vergeire said that the most common age group affected with cholera are children aged 5 to 9, primarily due to unsafe drinking water.

(We know that it is the rainy season now, there is a lot of flooding, a lot of people also go to evacuation centers. Because of calamities, our water systems are always affected, especially in these areas.)

(There are people who die because of cholera. If it is not cured, patients will suffer from severe dehydration, especially if they are immunocompromised or are vulnerable.)

Just as cholera is spread through dirty water so is diarrhea which remains a deadly problem throughout the Philippines.

https://mb.com.ph/2022/10/08/6-die-from-diarrhea-caused-by-bad-water-in-dumagat-tribe-in-quezon/

Six members of the Dumagat tribe here have died from diarrhea reportedly as a result of water contaminated after the onslaught of super typhoon “Karding.”

The Department of Health (DOH)-Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon area) and the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO) are investigating the outbreak that has affected a total of 38 individuals from Sept. 26 to Oct. 6 in Barangay Upper Lumutan.

“The DOH is saddened by what happened to our Dumagat natives where many have lost their lives because they were not immediately diagnosed and taken to our primary health care facility,” DOH-Region 4-A Director Ariel I. Valencia said.

“Rest assured that we are working closely with IPHO through our RESU to provide the necessary assistance in the affected barangay,” Valencia added.

Though these deaths may be related to the typhoon it is a fact that deadly diarrhea outbreaks remain a health concern in the Philippines. 

Last but not least infant mortality has increased. 

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1683444/psa-logs-higher-infant-mortality-rates-popcom-says-its-due-to-lack-of-healthcare-access

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) logged a slight increase in infant mortality rate this year, which the population commission attributed to a lack of access to healthcare facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on the PSA data, the said number of fatalities classified under “other direct obstetric deaths,” has increased in the first six months of 2022 at 468 compared to 425 in the same period last year.

The said fatality rose in the ranking of causes of death from 44th in 2021 to 39th in 2022, according to PSA.

Commission on Population and Development (Popcom) officer in charge Lolito Tacardon said “this condition indicates an issue in accessing appropriate, quality, and timely services from healthcare facilities.”

“It poses the challenge to improve our local health system for emergency obstetric and newborn care, which was definitely affected during the pandemic.

“Our health system should now be slowly recovering from the deluge of cases caused by the pandemic to ensure adequate services for other health concerns such as those related to maternal, infant, and child health,” Tacardon also said.

That last sentence says it all. After two years the Philippines should be recovering and shifting its focus to ensuring normal, regular healthcare especially for maternal and infant health. An official DOH secretary is necessary to lead the charge and not merely an OIC. 

There is no justifiable excuse for Marcos to refrain from appointing a DOH Secretary until the COVID situation normalizes while the nation is plagued by many and very serious health problems. It is unconscionable and shows Marcos' callous indifference towards the very people who elected him president. 

The God Culture: The Lunatic Ravings of A Man Who Has Become Unhinged

Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is totally unhinged and off his rocker. When confronted with observable, measurable, scientific facts his recourse is to insult the commenter and then accuse that person of being me!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfieRo5Pkac&lc=Ugy7pRaRww2XWoR2YPx4AaABAg

Thera: Although I appreciate your efforts, I truly do. I must say regrettably you are using a one witness approach which is not scriptural. Scripture is clear that we need to measure time and space with three witnesses: the sun, moon and stars in tandem with each other. The heavens above are a time piece a perfect time piece, one could call it a clock. How many hands are on a clock? Three. You can’t simply tell time without the other witnesses. To add to that further you must understand the revolutions or sidereal cycle… the sun has a cycle of 365.25 days annually that is measured repeatedly aka empirical evidence. The moon’s cycle is 354 days annually, and sidereal month of 27.32 synodic month of 29.5. The stars move 23.94 hours a day not 24 hours again observable and repeatable. All this averages out to a total of 364 days per year just as stated by Enoch. I pray you keep digging to find the true Hebrew calendar that Enoch, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob etc all followed. Shalom.

This is a very sane and sensible comment referencing observable and measurable facts. The sun has a cycle of 365.25 days not 364 as Enoch says. The sun, moon, and stars work in tandem to tell us the times and seasons. The commenter ends by offering encouragement to Tim in finding the right calendar. 

Tim's response is to go apoplectic. 

The God Culture: No you don't as that is a lie and you would pay better attention if you were here to do anything but agitate! How illiterate can you be? Can you count to 3? Can you read? You certainly can't listen and understand. Evidently not to say something so stupid. You just said the only way one can qualify as a 2nd witness is it must be only the moon in a completely stupid false paradigm. How wrong. Then, you change scripture which says out of the mouth of 2 or 3, not 3, and you qualify the thousands of stars as 1 witness which is very inept and false. You don't even understand the meaning of the word "or" incapable of rendering even a sentence or phrase with accuracy so you my friend are no witness and you are peddling lies. You only missed the thousands of witnesses and that's really poor. Only an agitating blogger could be so stupid and proves so every week which is why he can only get 1 or less views per day to much of his trash. Clearly you are missing your witnesses to establish fact as no one agrees with you except your 2 dogs who have to perhpas. The problem is you can't even read. It says "2 or 3!" Learn the meaning of the word "or." 

Deut. 19:15 KV "at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established." 

Matt. 18:16 KJV "in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established." 

2 Cor. 13:1 KJV "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." 

The sun is the measure and it has many thousands of witnesses in the stars according to scripture as the sun and stars. 

First Enoch 74 FROM 9 MIN. INTO THIS VIDEO YOU DIDN'T WATCH OR ARE UNABLE TO COMPREHEND NOR COUNT! 12. And the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity; but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days. 

In fact, the moon witnesses the sun's course and purpose as well it's just not the sun as you would like to stretch so stupidly. 

Enoch, Moses, the Angel of the Presence, Yahuah in His own words, mega scripture from the Old Testament, the exiled Temple Priests at Qumran/Bethabara, the Gospels, Acts and writings of Paul, etc. are all witnesses to the sun being the measure to start the day and you are illiterate. If you think you can hit point after point here and do anything but look like a court jester, you are insane as you have looked so foolish so many times in your profound learning disability on so many topics you can't even understand with your less than elementary education. Learn how to read and count to 3 first. And you wonder why you can't even get 100 people to read your lousy attack blog, your anemic FB, your nonsensical YT videos, while actually trying to tell others what scripture and history says which you can't even read either. They know it. You are the definition of insanity. Get rid of that demon who drives you or you will die soon. Get out!

Instead of addressing the very scientific and measurable facts of the sun and moon's cycles Tim goes off the rails calling this person an idiot. Then he accuses them of being me! He even insults my dogs. 

Here is another one. A commenter asks how would the Book of Enoch survived the flood and Timothy Jay Schwab explodes in rage and accuses this person of being me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0IAEPPxd5s&lc=UgyzJBDkysr4W8XxJLt4AaABAg

Skip Wilson: I've got a question. Maybe you've answered it before and I missed it, if so I apologize. But my question is this, Since Enoch was as far removed from the flood on his side of it, as we are on our side of it, how did the "book of Enoch" survive the flood? Seems to me Parchment wouldn't do well in a flood, or likely ever be found in the sediment.. Just asking. Thanks

The God Culture: Think these things through a little rather than heading straight to ridicule in ignorance on this channel though let's not pretend we do not know whom this 1st time commenter is because no one can be this stupid except the trashy blogger incapable of thought even to the elementary level of a child. It makes you look silly and this is exactly how we all have been programmed to think as well as their aim. You can do better and rise above this petty thinking which is less than elementary. We answered that in Parts 1-2 of this series. Watch from the beginning. 

You don't need to go to whether parchment would survive the Flood which narrative you assume very falsely and continue on as if you even made a point. You did not as you never do bobo blogger. It would not if it were in the Flood of course, duh, thus why didn't you ask the next question a child could figure out yet land on assuming the worst requiring us to think for you even? That is an illiterate assertion that Noah would have a copy and just leave it on the ground and not take it with him. Really? What did survive the Flood and was it there? Duh! See the way they have you programmed idiot blogger? Don't fall for it though let's not pretend you are not the stupid criminal harassing blogger who just proved yet again just how stupid you are... First comment ever on this channel and you chose this dumb ridicule? Yeah... we know. 

Noah said he took it on the ark, as we covered and taught it after the Flood. You missed that because you are stupid and cannot comprehend a sentence whether alone a video or series yet you tried to ridicule those videos too bobo. How embarrassing for you clown. Abraham received a copy of it as well in his day centuries later and learned Hebrew and taught it as well. Next time, think out your question a little rather than assuming the book had no value to Enoch's grandson who took seeds, animals and what remained of pure humans to save them but court jesters like you would assume stupidly he wouldn't bother to bring the most important writing in his history from where he even learned of the coming Flood and knew had prophecy of the future to his sons to Abraham to Israel to the Temple to it's destruction to even Messiah coming in the flesh the first time to his ascension even and to His 2nd coming. 

No, you think he would just trash it? You can't even put basic concepts together and you write blogs? How stupid. Or what, there wasn't enough room on the ark which has now been configured to be able to fit 2 million animals the size of a sheep? But... a scroll just couldn't fit? How incredibly inept you are, failure. Think. At least try for once. You can do better than illiterate ridicule. And congratulations on your massive 2 views in 3 days on your last blog. Wow! You are insane by definition indeed. How about you get a life and stop making yourself a fool for an evil cause acting as satan in your demonic poise. And... spare us the fake response of how you are offended by your own stupidity claiming you are someone else when everyone knows better. Get rid of that demon or you will be slaughtered where they lead you. Grow up. Get out.

Did Tim even take the time to click on the commenter's name so he can view his profile? He joined on June 11, 2016!!! Does Tim really think I set up a fake account in 2016 and that I am only using it now to ask a question? Ludicrous! 

These are the insane, lunatic ravings of a man who has become unhinged. He cannot defend his false worldview when confronted with facts and he cannot answer simple questions from newbies so he goes on the attack! Does Tim really think that everyone who has a contrary opinion to him is me? This is beyond ridiculous. There is not much to say really. I am only making a short note to leave for the world to see that Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is a paranoid nutter with a deep persecution complex whose worldview is so twisted and bizarre that he cannot even defend it when asked to do so or act rashly when he is given contradictory information. 

Retards in the Government 280

It's your weekly compendium of foolishness and corruption in the Philippine government.

  

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1679609/baguio-councilor-lodges-slander-libel-raps-vs-magalong

Councilor Mylen Yaranon on Wednesday filed slander and libel complaints against Mayor Benjamin Magalong for accusing her of “twisting facts and figures” and “politicking.”

Yaranon, who filed her complaints with the Office of City Prosecutor, said Magalong made some “malicious imputations” that allegedly caused her “dishonor” and “discredited” her.

She said her slander complaint stemmed from Magalong’s speech during the July 4 flag-raising ceremony at the city hall grounds, while the libel complaint was for an open letter posted on Magalong’s Facebook page.

Yaranon and Magalong’s tiff stemmed from their dissenting opinions on developing the former Bibak dormitory lot on Harrison Road and issues about the rehabilitation of the city’s public market.

According to her, Magalong also accused her of not doing anything about the alleged sub-standard projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways in the city.

“Mayor Magalong clearly attacked and discredited my reputation not only as a public official but also as a person,” Yaranon stated in her complaint.

She added: “He (Magalong) insinuated that I am a person of no principle and a public official that is not doing anything on matters of public interest.”

The councilor asked for P500,000 to compensate her “moral damages, anxiety, depression and sleepless nights.”

One politician is suing another politician for slander and libel which has led to sleepless nights.

The Court of Appeals (CA) has upheld the murder conviction of a police officer who killed his boss, the municipal police chief of Talavera town in Nueva Ecija province, 11 years ago on New Year's Day.

The 12-page decision uploaded recently affirmed the sentence of reclusion perpetua imposed by the Santo Domingo, Nueva Ecija Regional Trial Court Branch 88 on former Insp. Bernardo Castro who killed C/Supt. Ricardo Dayag Jr., 47.

Castro was likewise ordered to pay PHP225,000 in indemnity and damages to the victim’s kin.

Dayag confronted the intoxicated Castro after two shots were heard from the Talavera Police Station where Castro was the officer-in-charge for the day on Jan. 1, 2011.

Castro shot Dayag, initially hitting the leg, after the victim demanded that he surrender his firearm.

According to reports, 19 subsequent shots were fired at the fallen officer as he lay on the ground.

Castro then hid inside an ambulance parked near the municipal hall before responding policemen convinced him to surrender after about 30 minutes.

The CA dismissed Castro's claim that the prosecution failed to introduce evidence for the motive for the killing, adding that "motive is irrelevant in this case" and the accused "did not even disavow his having been identified as the perpetrator."

A cop who killed another cop has had his conviction upheld by the Court of Appeals.

Authorities have seized more than PHP2-million worth of illegal drugs and a firearm following a clash that resulted in the death of a high-value drug personality in Lanao del Sur province, an official said Saturday.

Col. Richard Verceles, operations chief of the Area Police Command-Western Mindanao, identified the slain drug personality as Abuhanan Sultan, 24, who is an incumbent councilor in Barangay Limogao, Saguiran town.

He said the clash occurred around 3 p.m. Thursday in a chokepoint established by joint police and military troopers in Barangay Mipaga, Saguiran, Lanao del Sur. The chokepoint was set up after the Marawi City police reported they were in pursuit of four suspected drug personalities fleeing towards Saguiaran.

According to Verceles, Sultan’s cohorts, Omar Macabago, a certain Nadir, and a certain Arab, fled when they saw Sultan fall during the clash.

Police recovered from Sultan some 300 grams of suspected shabu worth PHP2.04 million, a .45-caliber pistol, six empty shells, and a broken glass tooter.

He regularly sent her flowers, food and messages of endearment. He even followed her on her way home and, in several instances, asked her that they check in at a hotel.

He is her boss at the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA). She is his administrative aide.

She had constantly refused all the sexual advances. When she could not bear anymore, she filed against his boss a complaint for sexual harassment.

In a decision, the Sandiganbayan found NCDA Deputy Executive Director Mateo A. Lee Jr. guilty of sexual harassment and was ordered to pay a fine of P10,000.

The Sandiganbayan found Lee guilty of the provision of Republic Act No. 7877, the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, for harassing Administrative Aide VI Diane Jane M. Paguirigan.

During trial, Lee admitted sending her flowers and food, visiting her house and church, and that he offered her rides and gave her gifts “to show his appreciation for her good deeds.”

“The foregoing constitutes judicial admissions,” the Sandiganbayan’s decision stated.

“The Court is mindful that accused Lee is visually impaired and even claims to be suffering from total blindness, although he himself asserts that he has developed a keen sense of direction and familiarity in relation to places he would frequently visit,” the court said.

It pointed out that Lee abused his authority over Paguirigan, since his actions are “out-of-the-ordinary” from the normal superior-subordinate relationship.

“It is worthy to note that nothing in the records shows that accused Lee acted in a similar manner towards his other staff members and/or employees at the NCDA to at least justify his acts towards the private complainant,” it said.

Lee said that his acts were done “in the context of friendship,” but the court disagreed since Lee would call her at midnight, gave her an “I love you” note in Braille, and even asked her to check in at a hotel.

A government official has been accused of sexual harassment for sending his subordinate flowers, food, love notes, and visiting her house. It should be noted that he is also blind but that is no excuse.

The investigation is still ongoing with the police in Bayugan City in the province of Agusan del Sur in the ambush of Police Staff Sergeant Arnold Cafe Tanjay, 40-years-old, past 7:20 last night outside his home in Purok 3, Brgy. Mabuhay and currently assigned to the Regional Intelligence Division at the Police Regional Office or PRO-13.

In an exclusive interview with Bombo Radyo Butuan, PM Major Jennifer Ometer, spokeswoman for PRO-13, disclosed that the victim was able to shoot back at the suspect who was apparently panicked because the KG9 mm luger was left in its holster.  

In the follow-up operation conducted by the police, among those recovered from the crime scene were 12 discarded cartridge cases with one bullet from the weapon and one magazine that contained 21 bullets and another six cartridge cases left inside the victim police car.

This is in addition to the three cartridge cases that were left at a distance of 400 meters from the crime scene.

A number of angles are still being focused on in the investigation, especially since many cases have been handled by the official that is the cause of his firing, including his possible connection with the rebel New People's Army or NPA.
