Gipangayo na usab sa Malakanyang gikan sa Kongreso nga ipalabang na ang balaodnon nga maglugway og laing lima ka tuig sa pagpatuman sa flagship social reform program sa kagamhanan nga Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).
Ang CARP, nga gipatuman sukad pa niadtong 1988, ug gilugwayan na ug lima ka tuig motapos sa umaabot nga Hunyo 10.
Sa pagtak-op niini nga programa, kapin kon kulang 200 mil ektaryas pa ang mahimong ipailawom sa CARP ug kini maoy gitumbok nga ipang-abod-apud pa sa minilyon ka Pilipino nga mag-uuma.
Tungod sa dako nga tabang sa pagpanag-iya sa yuta nga tikaron sa mga kabus karon, ug sa katakus niini nga haw-ason ang nasud sa kalisud, gilagdaan ni Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo isip dinalian nga balaodnon nga nagpangayo sa laing lima ka tuig nga lugway sa CARP.
Kini saysay ni Press Secretary Ignacio R. Bunye human gisuwatan sa Malakanyang sila Senate President Manuel Villar ug House Speaker Prospero Nograles aron lihokon ang lakang ug aprobahan na ang House Bill 4077.
Ang House Bill nga gisugyot sa Malakanyang nga aksyonan sa Kongreso subay sa rekomendasyon nga sukip sa usa ka taho sa House's committee on agrarian reform.
Ang bag-ong balaodnon nagpahimutang sa pundo alang sa subsidized credit sa mga benefisaryo sa agrarian reform ug mag-ila na sa mga babaye isip legal nga benepisaryo sa programa.
Gisukip na usab sa HB 4077 ang mga reporma nga nasugyot human has-hasi ang mga suliran sa pagpatuman sa CARP sa milabayng katuigan. - Rey Anthony Chiu - PIA Bohol

Confused Over Philippine School Uniform Policy?
By Rey Anthony Chiu - PIA
Dispensing with the school uniform is optional and not mandatory.
Department of Education Secretary Jesli Lapus clarified this over the speculation that the new DepEd's directive on uniforms for public elementary and high schools is in fact adding more burden to parent's expense for education.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has directed DepEd through Lapus to make a directive to forego the uniforms to spare the parents of additional load of buying a new set of uniforms especially for those stepping into the first level of formal school and those enrolling into a new school.
Lapus however stressed that the overall goal of the directive, is to offer public school students an opportunity to avail themselves of a truly free education as envisioned by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
On this, he added students who already have school uniforms are free to wear them, but those who cannot afford uniforms are not compelled to buy them.
According to DepEd's office in charge of the assistant Bohol superintendent, Maria Linda Namocatcat, the Divison has yet to get a copy of the directive. Nevertheless, she said if they implement, it has to be for new pupils and students.
Old students may still wear their uniforms, she said.
Some parents, upon learning of the new directive however said that the move may even be more expensive for them.
