6 slain NPA rebels in Bohol encounter identified

By Leo Udtohan

TAGBILARAN CITY-The son of a ranking  leader of Communist New People’s Army (NPA) was among those who were killed in a series of encounters with government troops in Bilar town in Bohol on Thursday, the Philippine Army and Bohol Police Provincial Office said.

The six rebels were killed in a series of encounters with 47th Infantry Battalion troops following a civilian tip-off of their presence in Barangay Campagao.

In separate statements on Friday,  Jingler Compoc, the son of  Domingo Compoc, alias Kumander Cobra, the alleged guerilla front secretary, was among those who were killed. 

Jengler, 29, a native of Barangay Dagohoy in Bilar town, Bohol was allegedly the vice squad leader of the remnants of the dismantled Bohol Front Committee. 

The younger Compoc was known as Keth in the group, while the older Compoc who has a P2.6 million bounty on his head is facing a string of charges including rebellion, homicide, attempted homicide, theft, multiple murder, frustrated murder and robbery.

Others killed were Ruben Nabas Samorano, 40, a resident of Rizal, Batuan, Bohol;  Nelson Lumantas, 50,  a resident of barangay Bayawahan, Sevilla town, Bohol;  Rogelio Jorillo alias Tacoy from Minglanilla, Cebu; Felisisimo Arcales Estañola, 67, a resident of Purok 7, Barangay Maitom, Catigbian, Bohol; and alias Emoy from Catigbian, Bohol; and a certain Okloy.

Compoc, Samorano, Lumantas and Estañola were positively identified by their relatives. 

The clash terrified residents that at least 56 families mostly from Sitio Ilaud in Barangay Campagao were evacuated.

Fun run marks Alturas' 50th year

By Leo Udtohan

A fun run celebrating the 50th anniversary of Alturas Group of Companies (AGC), a highly diversified and integrated retail, tourism, commercial, and agro-industrial conglomerate in Bohol, was held Saturday, March 25. 

Over 2,000 runners from Bohol and Cebu joined in the 10-kilometer, 15-kilometer and 21-kilometer fun runs. 

Mary Grace "Gay" Bernaldez said the proceeds of the Alturas Golden Fun Run will help parents and guardians of the 25 terminally ill children in Bohol. 

"You are part of this great cause," she said. 

The excitement continued with the Zumba Marathon, followed by giving of freebies and products from sponsors and a Comedy Concert from Manila-based comedians at 7 p.m.
AGC expressed its gratitude to all the participating runners and sponsors who, in one way or another, help generate funds intended for the sick children.

* * *
The recent detection of African Swine Flu (ASF) in Cebu has led the Bohol provincial government to heighten its efforts to safeguard its swine industry. 

Bohol maintains its "green level" status as it remains free of ASF.

AGC recognized the impact of ASF on all hog raisers and pork consumers in Bohol, prompting it to ensure food security by lessening the risk of contamination. The company sources its meat from its own farm - Marcela Farms, which heavily promotes biosecurity measures to prevent unwanted diseases or viruses from penetrating.

Marcela Farms has been in the agricultural business for over 40 years and serves as the main source of livestock for Alturas Malls. It also supplies food needs such as hogs, chicken, eggs, prawns, fish, and rice for institutional customers in the country and abroad.

"We take ASF matters seriously.  We want to assure our customers that we are doing everything to prevent it from reaching Bohol. Our farm implements advanced biosecurity measures to ensure the health and safety of our hogs, and we are confident that we can supply meat products for Bohol even if the province limits or stops meat importation,” said AGC Manager Marlito Uy.

ASF is a highly contagious viral disease in pigs, which can result in high mortality rates. While the virus does not affect people and has no impact on human health, it poses a significant threat to the hog industry. 

By intensifying its biosecurity measures, the company hopes to prevent the entry and spread of ASF in Bohol and continue to provide high-quality food products to its customers. Biosecurity measures are critical in keeping diseases and pathogens that carry them away from livestock, property, and people.

External biosecurity measures being implemented by AGC include no new pigs, control of pests, installation of air filtration systems, no visitors, and managing vehicle traffic.  Vehicles and equipment are only allowed onto the farm if cleaned and disinfected beforehand. There is a 20-day quarantine period for vehicles coming from outside Bohol. People who may have been in contact with other pigs are also not allowed on the farm.

AGC also continued to maintain its consistent record as a leading taxpayer in the province. 

The group, through its subsidiary, Marcela Farms Inc., was recognized once again as one of the Top 5 Corporate Taxpayers by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Region 13 during the 2023 National Tax Campaign kickoff at the IEC Convention Center in Cebu City.

The regional bureau acknowledged the contribution and collaboration of Marcela Farms in achieving the agency’s plans and programs and in helping fund the country’s economic recovery and continuous progress.

AGC has always been committed to compliance with the law and is proud to contribute to the local economy by paying its taxes on time and in full.

"We are grateful for this recognition, as we consider our role as a taxpayer to be of utmost importance. Our commitment to contributing to the growth and development of Bohol through our business operations is unwavering. As we move forward, we remain steadfast in our determination to set a positive example and encourage other businesses to join us in upholding this civic duty," said Helen Binangbang, executive assistant to the Alturas Group GM.

Aside from ensuring government compliance, AGC also upholds sustainable practices and technology as a core value and this is reflected in its subsidiaries such as Marcela Farms. The farm, which provides for the food requirements of the province and institutional customers locally and internationally, acknowledges the importance of environmental protection as a vital component of achieving sustainability.

Marcela Farms has taken significant measures to reduce its carbon footprint, including operating the largest solar farm project in Bohol and supplying any excess power to the local grid as part of the government's net metering initiative. It also boasts the first certified animal-waste biogas in Southeast Asia.

Additionally, the company utilizes a biomass facility that compacts 100% rice hulls into solid biofuel for industrial plant boilers and poultry bedding. Its organic fertilizer facility also produces a minimum of 350 bags daily, while its rendering plant converts all poultry plant waste into protein meal for animal feed.

As its 50th anniversary approaches this year, AGC continues to be a highly diversified and integrated conglomerate in Bohol, encompassing retail, tourism, commercial, and agro-industrial sectors.

The company remains true to its values rooted in strategic, sustainable progress and embodies its main slogan of "Serving the community, Uplifting Lives."

Dragon boat competition slated in July

By Leo Udtohan


The Bohol Paddlers Association, Inc. (BPAI) will hold the "Bohol Island Dragon Boat Festival 2023" in line with the celebration of Sandugo Festival in July. 

Dr. Theodore" Doyet" Dumaluan, BPAI president, said the dragon boat racing will be the first to be held since it started in 2013, which was suspended due to the pandemic. 

He said  there will 30 paddler groups which are expected to join the event including those from the Philippine Navy and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Each group is composed of 12 persons.

Dumaluan said the resumption of the tournament is their way of showing to the people that the situation in the province has gradually returned to normal after the pandemic. 

"We want to show that the province is an ideal place for the competition since the water here is calm from Tagbilaran City to the municipality of Panglao,” Dumaluan said.

Outdoor adventure is another tourism circuit the provincial government of Bohol is actively harnessing and promoting with the objectives of diversifying the province's offerings. 

Dragon boat racing on Bohol started in 2011 after it was introduced to Dumaluan. He then organized with other people who shared a love for dragon boat racing and put together the province's first dragon boat team.
