Senatorial candidate Atty. Adel Tamano says he’s very grateful and humbled upon learning that Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is extending his full support on his candidacy.
“I am undoubtedly grateful to Mayor Duterte. His endorsement means a lot to me and I am very humbled by the fact that he trusts and believes in me and in what I can do not only for Mindanao but for the entire country,” Tamano enthused, adding that since Davao City loves its chief executive, he’s hopeful that the Dabawenyos will also extend their full support on his candidacy and to the rest of the Nacionalista Party.
Tamano, the first ever Filipino Muslim scholar-graduate of Harvard Law School and youngest president of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, is a proud son of Marawi City.
“Mayor Duterte’s endorsement will most definitely provide a boost in my campaign. We actually share a lot of advocacies. Both of us believe that the rule of law should prevail, that citizens should be responsible and accountable for their actions and that education should be provided budgetary priority. We also both acknowledge the fact that peace is key especially here in our beloved Mindanao,” Tamano underscored.

Kung Mindanaoan gani, lahi ra gyud! This is definitely what you’ll exclaim after reading this good piece of news. Congratulations to Surigao del Sur and to Barobo National High School! And of course, congratulations to the coach and to the students who bagged the top plum in the finals of SMART Telecoms’ Doon Po Sa Amin challenge. SMART talaga 
For the second consecutive year, Surigao del Sur’s Barobo National High School made it to the finals of Smart Communications, Inc.’s (SMART) Doon Po Sa Amin (DPSA) Learning Challenge.
SMART Public Affairs Community Partnerships Senior Manager Darwin Flores (right) awards the team from Barobo National High School composed of (from left) Jade De los Santos, Jennifer Noveras, head coach Romulo Morata and ICT coordinator Alex Mistula for winning the grand prize during the 2nd Doon Po Sa Amin Learning Challenge.
This time, however, the institution went all the way to emerge as overall champion for its entry, “Sumbada: Buhay Lambat.” The same entry also bagged the Best in Technology and Livelihood category award.
The awarding ceremony of the 2nd DPSA Learning Challenge was held last February 5 and 6 at the A. Venue Hall in Makati City. The competition, a part of the Smart Schools Program’s (SSP) web-based project Doon Po Sa Amin, is a search for the richest and most significant online local content generated by student-teacher groups from SSP partner schools.
Barobo National High School’s winning entry “Sumbada: Buhay Lambat” is a descriptive study on the local fishermen’s practice of Sumbada, its legality and the impact on the fishing industry.
“Our entry is all about awakening the minds of the people in our locality,” says Jade de los Santos, a student-member of the team. Sumbada is an illegal fishing method that uses very fine nets and active gears to catch fish. “Throughout our region, it is only in our locality that sumbada is being practiced,” he adds.

It looks like Cagayan de Oro City is now, more than ever, THE next place to watch out for here in Mindanao. Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is set to build the biggest mall in Mindanao – the Ayala Mall CDO – and is set to allot a total of P4.5 Billion for the said project.
Ayala Mall CDO will be a shopping and recreation haven and will reportedly be right smack in the heart of the city.
Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Constantino Jaraula was quoted as saying that the Ayala Mall Cagayan de Oro “would make the city the major shopping destination in Mindanao as this will be the biggest mall in the region and will further boost our beloved city as a haven for investment.”
Ayala Mall CDO will even be larger than the P3 Billion Ayala Mall Davao City, reports say.
Ayala Mall CDO will occupy a large space along CM Recto Avenue (in a vacant lot in front of Gaisano City CDO).
The said Ayala property will also take up a portion of land along Corrales Avenue.
What do you think of this development?

Following Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) Chairman Nur Misuari’s endorsement, popular Filipino actor Robin Padilla, who now has embraced the Muslim name “Abdul Aziz,” has also expressed his support for fellow Muslim Atty. Adel Tamano.
Tamano, the first Filipino Muslim scholar-graduate of Harvard Law School and President of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, is a senatorial candidate under the Nacionalista Party.
In a handwritten personal note to Tamano dated December 9, 2009, Padilla wished the young lawyer and former opposition spokesperson well in his political journey.
“May Allah guide you and give you success,” the note read.
Tamano, for his part, expressed his gratitude to Padilla’s show of support.
“I am extremely grateful to Robin for his trust and confidence,” Tamano said.
“Rest assured that I will continue to protect not only the rights of our fellow Muslims but of all Filipinos. Hopefully, if I get the privilege to serve in the Senate, I will help foster peace and acceptance,” Tamano underscored.
Recently, Misuari virtually endorsed Tamano before hundreds of MNLF commanders and leaders when he invited the latter to be the guest of honor during the 5th Bangsamoro National Assembly.
Tamano was the only national politician allowed to attend the event.

COMELEC asks celebrity endorsers to go on leave or resign; Mindanaoan says that’s bull

Mindanaoan can’t help but comment on the recent resolution of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to urge celebrities endorsing political candidates to either resign or go on leave from their shows. I find it absolutely funny that the COMELEC, amid all their problems, still has the time and energy to think about this.
I reiterate Mindanaoan senatorial candidate Atty. Adel Tamano’s statement: “this latest COMELEC resolution is a mere ploy to distract the public. The COMELEC has bigger problems to solve – from all these delays in ballot printing and deliveries of PCOS machines to assuring the public that signals won’t be jammed during transmission of election results. Why don’t they concentrate on those first?”
Hear, hear!
Besides, isn’t this unconstitutional? Celebrities have rights, too. They have the right of expression and the freedom of association. They’re voters and therefore have voters’ rights. Why should they be “punished” for expressing their support for candidates that they believe in?
Sabagay, and this is from a tweet from a friend: “Perhaps the COMELEC thinks that the political candidates can provide the entertainment in the meantime.”
LOL
Just imagine this – presidential candidate Manny Villar has Dolphy, Willie Revillame, Michael V. and Sarah Geronimo as endorsers. Presidential hopeful Noynoy Aquino has his sister Kris Aquino and a hundred more celebrities.
Just imagine if the COMELEC does effectively implement their order — will there even be anyone left in tinseltown?
Oh well. To the “brilliant” minds over at COMELEC — good luck with this.
Meanwhile, Adel Tamano, a senatorial candidate under the Nacionalista Party, has garnered the endorsements of popular action star Robin Padilla and of popular singer-actor Ogie Alcasid (who, incidentally, is one of Noynoy’s endorsers as well)
Check out Ogie’s video with Adel below:
