NDCC: Death toll in MILF attacks now 49

The death toll from the recent attacks by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Mindanao has risen to 49 as of Sunday morning, the latest report from the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) said.

Released 6 a.m. Sunday, the NDCC report said the 49 included 38 in Region 10 (Northern Mindanao), eight in Region 11 (Davao Region), and three in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

NDCC said the attacks also displaced 48,050 families or 240,101 people.

The organization also said at least 65 were injured, while one remains missing.

It identified the missing as Ruben Lopez, 18, of Pantar in Kolambugan. The NDCC said the MILF allegedly took him hostage but his relatives later declared him as missing.

NDCC Executive Officer Glenn Rabonza said in a radio report that the government will provide P10,000 each to the 49 victims’ families.

Relief operations in the evacuation centers are being sustained by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Philippine National Red Cross, the United Nations’ World Food Programme, and local government units.

The MILF, meanwhile, asked non-government and humanitarian organizations, both local and international, to intervene and stop an "impending humanitarian disaster" in Mindanao.

Mindanao: Arming civilians will do more harm than good - bishop

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

44 patay sa labanan sa Mindanao; AFP nakahanda sa 'sympathy attack'

MANILA - Umabot na sa 44 tao ang naitalang nasawi sa kaguluhan sa Mindanao, habang 53 iba pa ang nasugatan, ayon sa talaan ng National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC).

Sa GMA news Flash Report nitong Sabado, sinabing pinakamarami sa bilang ng mga nasawi ay mula sa Lanao del Norte (33), kasunod ng North Cotabato (6), Sarangani (2), Basilan (2) at Shariff Kabunsuan (1).

Idinagdag sa ulat na 10,120 pamilya ang nagsisiksikan sa mga evacuation centers, habang 20,522 pamilya naman ang naghahanap ng masisilungan.

Samantala, tiniyak ng liderato ng militar na nakahanda ito sa anumang pag-atake na maaaring gawin ng mga grupo na nagkikisimpatya sa Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

Sa isang press briefing, sinabi nina Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. at AFP chief of staff Gen. Alexander Yano na nakataas ang alerto ng militar sa iba’t-ibang bahagi ng bansa bilang paghahanda sakaling may grupong sumalakay upang makisimpatya sa MILF.

Noong nakaraang linggo, nagmungkahi si exiled Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) supremo Jose Ma."Joma" Sison na magsanib sila ng pwersa ng MILF upang labanan ang gobyerno.

Iginiit nina Teodoro at Yano na nasa “active defense" position ang MILF dahil sa isinasagawang operasyon ng AFP upang tugisin sina MILF commander Umbra Kato at Abdulrahman Macapaar, alias Commander Bravo.

Ang dalawa ay itinuturong nanguna sa pagsalakay sa mga sibilyan sa ilang bahagi ng Mindanao nitong nagdaang mga linggo.

Sa hiwalay na press conference sa kampo ng MILF sa Camp Darapanan sa Central Mindanao nitong Sabado ng umaga, sinabi ni chairman Al-Haj Murad na nakahanda ang kanilang pwersa laban sa anumang pagsalakay ng militar.

Idineklara rin ni Murad na hindi nito isusuko ang dalawang kumander na kinasuhan ng pamahalaan kaugnay sa pagsalakay sa mga sibilyan.

Idinahilan ni Murad na bilang mga "rebolusyunaryo" ay hindi saklaw ng batas ng Pilipinas sina Kato at Bravo.

Nagbabala rin si Murad na posibleng bumagsak ang usapang pangkapayapaan dahil sa patuloy na isinasagawang operasyon ng militar partikular sa Maguindanao at Shariff Kabunsuan.

(UPDATE) AFP: Troops ready for MILF ‘sympathy attacks’

Troops are ready to deal with possible “sympathy attacks" for those siding with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), officials assured the public on Saturday.

In a press conference, Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. and AFP chief of staff Gen. Alexander Yano said that troops in other parts of the country are on high alert because other groups sympathizing with the MILF might cause trouble.

Teodoro and Yano said the ongoing Armed Forces of the Philippines offensive in Mindanao is "strictly limited to the the forces of Umbra Kato and Abdulrahman Macapaar, alias Commander Bravo, who led attacks on villages in Lanao del Norte, North Cotabato and Sarangani in the past two weeks.

Kato and Bravo, along with more than 80 others, were charged by the police last Friday with the crimes of murder, robbery-in-band and arson in connection with their attacks on several villages in the southern provinces of Lanao del Norte, North Cotabato and Saranggani in the past two weeks.

Teodoro said it's up to the MILF whether or not they will support the forces of Kato and Bravo.

Yano added that anybody who sympathizes with the military's current targets "will be included in that operations, considering on the ground it is difficult to distinguish which group belongs to whatever base command so when we are specifically targeting the base command of Umbra Kato, any group who joins or sympathizes naturally will have to be dealt with accordingly."

Troops in other parts of the country had also been earlier alerted for possible "sympathy strikes" by communist rebels.

Last week, exiled Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) supremo Jose Ma."Joma" Sison proposed an alliance between the New People’s Army (NPA) and the MILF to fight government forces.

In a separate press conference at the MILF's Camp Darapanan in Central Mindanao on Saturday morning, Front chairman Al-Haj Murad also said his forces were ready for any attempt by government forces to enter their territories.

Murad maintained that the MILF leadership was not giving up the two commanders as demanded by some government officials and politicians alarmed by the rebel attacks on civilians.

As "revolutionaries," Murad said the two are outside the coverage of existing Philippine laws.

Teodoro said that may be so but if the MILF harbors criminals, the government has the prerogative to enforce the law.

"... kung sinasabi nila hindi nila isusuko, ibig sabihin kinukunsinti na nila, patuloy ang aming operations laban sa mga commanders na ito at nasasa kanila na 'yun bilang MILF kung susuportahan nila o hindi, pero ang main thing ay hustisya maibigay para sa mga biktima ng mga ito (...it's up to the MILF leadership if they refuse to surrender those wanted for crimes but the main thing is that justice has to be rendered to the victims)," he said.

Murad confirmed that skirmishes between government and MILF forces are ongoing in Maguindanao and Shariff Kabunsuan provinces, and warned that the peace process could collapse if the government forces continue their offensive.

Murad said he could only "hope" that the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain would be signed so that the peace process would push through. He reiterated his earlier stand that there is nothing to renegotiate about the memorandum of agreement, whose signing the Supreme Court stopped last Aug. 4.

It was the aborted signing of the agreement that prompted the forces of Kato and Bravo to attack villages in Central Mindanao.

In the last count of the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), 44 people were killed as a result of the attacks. Of the number, 33 died in Lanao del Norte, six in North Cotabato, two each in Sarangani and Basilan and one in Shariff Kabunsuan. Fifty-three others were also reported injured.

The MILF rampage sent more than tens of thousands of people fleeing their homes. As of Friday, more than 10, 120 families were still residing in 95 evacuation centers in Mindanao, said the NDCC.

In the fighting in Yano said that four soldiers were killed and 20 wounded in intense fighting between troops from the Philippine Army’s 6th Infantry Division and the MILF’s 105th Base Command under Kato in the past two days in Datu Piang and Mamasapano, Maguindanao.

The military earlier said between 60 to 100 MILF fighters may have been killed in two days of aerial bombings and howitzer fire on their encampments.

Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr., meanwhile, branded the MILF's insistence on signing the memorandum of agreement as "extortion."

"I'm in favor of another agreement another MOA, whatever it takes to stop the conflict, but you know it must not be, it just not have as a tradeoff the criminals going scott free, we cannot have that as a tradeoff," he said.

DYESEBELTV Series/Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes








Dyesebel is unique among the merfolk for she is the only mermaid born of human parents from the surface world. A mermaid from birth, she is shunned by the superstitious due to her physical form. After her father is killed by an angry, superstitious mob, Dyesebel is taken to the ocean by her mother where she is sent into exile since her chances for survival are greater there than on land. The young girl-mermaid is found by Banak who adopts her and takes her to their kingdom where she is welcomed into their community. Years later, a jealous mermaid named Dyangga makes Dyesebel's life miserable among the denizens of the sea which leads Dyesebel to try returning to the surface world. She meets a kind, handsome young man named Fredo who falls in love with her and protects her, but the she is kidnapped by Fredo's jealous former girlfriend's new boyfriend and displayed at the circus. She is subsequently rescued by Fredo and is brought back to the ocean where she is again told that although Fredo doesn't want to see Dyesebel go, he'd rather let her go than see her hurt by evil men on the surface world. This time around, Dyesebel returns with a magic conchshell that transforms her into a full human form and returns to Fredo where they marry.

The story of
Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel begins when human Lucia (Jean Garcia) delivers a beautiful, yet unusual, baby girl; unusual because, unlike normal babies, Lucia’s child is born with fins for legs. The child is called Dyesebel. And although surprised by their daughter’s strange form, Lucia and her husband Tonio (Wendell Ramos) promises to love their child no matter what.

But in no time at all, their neighbors discover the couple’s secret. And when the community is hit with a series of catastrophes, the town believes that the anomaly that is Dyesebel is to blame; an accusation that leads Lucia to offer her only daughter to the sea, where she would fit better.

Unknown to Lucia, it is at the heart of the sea that Dyesebel’s adventures and misfortunes will begin, and that it is within the confines of the waters that Dyesebel will lead a new life, a journey that would take her the depths of the sea, as well as the chaos of the city.

With directors Ms. Joyce Bernal and Don Michael Perez at the helm, Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel is certainly proud of its world-class production. From the enthralling story to the state-of-the-art production design created by Rodell Cruz, extraordinary costumes made by Bill Gustillo, and spectacular visual effects by Riot, Inc. Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel also boasts of its underwater scenes shot by the remarkable team of Marissa Florendo, as well as the show’s breathtaking locations in Palawan, Bataan and Batangas.

Feel the wonderful world of Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel with its theme song entitled ‘Aking Mundo’, as performed by Sugarpop’s Julie Ann San Jose.

Don’t miss the grand adventures of the mermaid whose dreams are about to take her into new worlds! Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel airs weeknights on GMA Telebabad.

Diana Zubiri as DANAYA of Encantadia Cast








Danaya - The Keeper of the Earth Gem

The youngest of Mine-a's four daughters. Unlike Amihan and Pirena who are only half-Diwata, she is a pure-blooded Diwata, and it is only her and Alena who have the same father. Though the youngest, Danaya is the most fearless and level-headed among all the Sang'gres. She knows all of Lireo's laws by heart, and while she may be extremely stubborn, she's one to do things by the book. As the youngest, she also has childish tendencies - evident with how she bickers with Aquil and Lira, over even the smallest things. As the kind who never lets her emotions rule her, Danaya projects a tough and uncaring aura even though she's already breaking down inside. Also, she is in love with Aquil but will not let her feelings be known - at least not vocally. It is also believed that she may not die if she does not want to, as she can transform herself into any animal or plant she wishes in subterfuge. As the guardian of the Earth, her weapon of choice is close to nature. She wields two wooden sticks and specializes in arnis. She is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

Sunshine Dizon as PIRENA of Encantadia Cast




Pirena - Keeper of the Fire Gem

Eldest among the four daughters of Mine-a. She grew up harboring bitterness and envy towards her sisters, especially towards Amihan. Although Pirena is really kind at heart, her dama, Gurna, poisoned her mind, blinding her from the truth that she is really loved. She became Queen of the Diwatas after invading Lireo and overthrowing Amihan. She has the ability to morph into any person she likes, a skill she inherited from her father, Hagorn. However, unlike her father, she can sustain the transformation for as long as she wishes because of her Diwata blood. She can also fly like a rocket launched into the air if need be. She's the most cunning and ambitious among the four Sangg'gres. She is also confident and hard working. She stayed a villain 3/4 of the series until she found the love of her mother, sisters, and daughter she thought she did not have. Her personal weapon are the twin daggers.

Karrlye as ALENA of Encantadia Cast






Alena - Keeper of the Water Gem

The third of Mine-a's four daughters. A pure-blooded Diwata, Alena is in possession of the most distinct power in Encantadia: a beautiful yet powerful voice that can soothe, hypnotize and destroy beings. She is also the Sang'gre who is most in touch with her emotions. However, her being in tune with her feelings is also her greatest weakness. Unlike her sisters, she never desired to be Queen. A romantic, all that she wanted was to fall in love. She found her match in Ybarro.

Iza Calzado as AMIHAN of Encantadia Cast






Amihan - Keeper of the Air Gem

The second eldest among the four sisters, and Mine-a's successor to the throne. Unlike her sisters who lived with Mine-a in Lireo since birth, Amihan was taken by her ado (father) Raquim, a Sapirian prince, to the mortal realm. There, she grew up by the sword of her ado until he was killed and she was brought back to her mother. Amihan sits in Lireo with the kindness and wisdom of her mother and the unmatched sworsdmanship skills and strong arms of her father. She is also the mother of Lira, her only heir. Amihan is actually not a pureblooded Diwata because she is half-Diwata and half-Sapirian, but she is identified as a Diwata with the mark on her back. Her control of the wind allows her to fly (alone or with someone) and feel the wind's emotions. She has also developed a strong link to the mulawin Avilan ever since he appeared to her when she was still a child. When Amihan evaded death for the second time, the marks on her palm disappeared to signify that she is finally in control of her own destiny. Since then, she is also able to summon a kambal-diwa by the name of Aera. Amihan's personal weapon is the broad sword Arkrey she inherited from her ado Raquim. Before her father breathed his last, she made a promise to avenge his death, and she carried this promise to its fulfillment.

ENCANTADIA Introduction Video



Encantadia is a term coined from the Filipino words "enkanto", "enkanta", "enkantada", or "enkantado" (which was in turn derived from the Spanish term) which means enchanted beings endowed with supernatural powers.

In the show, Encantadia is a vast enchanted realm comprising of four divided kingdoms where different mythical entities thrive. These four kingdoms bear the four precious stones that holds the land's balance. The kingdom of Adamya, Sapiro, Lireo, and Hathoria. The tranquility and future of Encantadia rests on the four gemstones of water, earth, air and fire; each being carefully kept by the bearers from each kingdom.

But when the Hathors, from the kingdom of Hathoria threatened to accumulate all the gems from the other bearers, hostility and war swept over the realm. It is a battle of three kingdoms against one.

The story unfolds in Lireo, the kingdom where Ynang Reyna (Queen Mother) Mine-a lives with her daughters Amihan, Alena, Danaya, and Pirena. The four Sangg'res are tasked to be the new keepers of the gemstones. Their skills in war and their powers as the royalty of the diwatas are believed to be the strength of Lireo. As long as the gemstones are kept properly, the balance of nature in Encantadia remains. But this story tells viewers that powers can also break precious relationships as Pirena had plotted the downfall of her own sister Amihan, who won the competition for the Lirean crown, and the other Sangg'res Danaya and Alena took Amihan's side.
With this situation, Lira, the long lost daughter of Amihan returned to Encantadia and tried to fulfill her mission of mending the broken relationships of the strong-willed gemstone keepers.

ENCANTADIA Video Episode

Sang'gre Transformations


Pirena of Encantadia


Encantadia is a Filipino fantasy television series (locally known as telefantasya) produced by GMA Network. It was dubbed as the grandest, most ambitious, and most expensive production for Philippine television.The series garnered both popular and critical recognition at home and abroad, including winning the 2005 Teleserye (Television Series) of the Year at the Los Angeles-based Gawad Amerika Awards. The pilot episode was aired on May 2, 2005. Its last episode was aired on December 9 of the same year to give way to its second book, Etheria. This series aired its pilot episode on December 12, and its last episode on February 18, 2006. The third and latest installment of the Encantadia saga, entitled Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas, aired its pilot on February 20, 2006.

Encantadia can be considered a spin-off of Mulawin, another successful GMA telefantasya wherein the Diwatas of Lireo first appeared as allies of the Mulawins. However, it seems that the timelines between the two shows do not connect together even though they share some characters and some story elements. The writer mentioned that Encantadia has its own story and is not related to the storyline of the Mulawin TV series.
Encantadia was first mentioned in Mulawin as a separate dimension where the encantados (enchanted beings) and diwatas live. In Mulawin, only few Encantadians were introduced and the whole world of Encantadia was not yet known but in this television series, the world of the Encantadia was expanded into four kingdoms and several new creatures and characters were introduced. Also, in Mulawin, it appears that only Diwatas can create a portal between Encantadia and the human world but in this series the Tree of Asnamon serves as a portal between the two worlds to anyone who holds the magical medallion.
