Avenue link opens
PRESIDENT Arroyo inaugurated recently
the P2.1-billion North Luzon Expressway
(NLEX)-Mindanao Ave. Link or Segment 8.1
that will significantly help decongest north-
bound EDSA traffic.
The 2.7-kilometer Segment 8.1 connects
NLEX, at its Valenzuela City junction, to
Mindanao Ave. in Novaliches, Quezon City.
It enables motorists to bypass high-density
areas approaching the Balintawak toll plaza
in Caloocan City.
The new segment kicks off the NLEX’s
multibillion-peso road network expansion
program of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corp.
(MPTC), the mother company of the Manila
North Tollways Corp. (MNTC) which con-
structed the Segment 8.1.
The President, who arrived at 11:30 a.m.,
was received by Department of Public Works
and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Victor
Domingo, MPTC and MNTC chairman
Manuel Pangilinan, Valenzuela 2nd District
Representative Magtanggol Gunigundo, and
Valenzuela City Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian.
On board a small bus, President Arroyo
led the inaugural drive-through that signaled
the start of the commercial operation of Seg-
ment 8.1.
The new segment, which started construc-
tion on April 21, 2009, was opened to the
public today.
Fuentes said.
Scientists estimate that there are between
five to 100 million plant and animal species
in the world wherein only about two million
of these species have been identified.
But the scientists disclosed that 17,291 of
these plants and animals are threatened with
extinction.
“In the ASEAN region alone, 2,517 out of
8,613 or 30 per cent of species assessed by
the International Union for Conservation of
Nature are threatened. One of these species
went extinct, we will never see them again
for extinction is irreversible,” Fuentes stressed.
Fuentes explained that drastic environmen-
tal changes brought largely by economic ac-
tivities and irresponsible human practices
are causing serious harm to plants, animals
and their habitats.
He, however, said that even if human be-
ings are causing the greatest harm to plants
and animals, “we also have the capacity to
save them from further destruction.”
“Conserving biodiversity is akin to saving
our own lifeline since biodiversity is the foun-
dation of our survival. The food we eat, the
medicine we take, the water we drink, the
clothes we wear, and the shelter we live in are
all products of biodiversity,” Fuentes added.
Fuentes stressed that there are practical
actions that individuals can take in the pro-
tection of biodiversity like planting of trees,
by saving energy, paper and fuel.

PGMA’s manicurist,
tycoon’s daughter turn
down appointments
THE president’s manicurist and the
daughter of SM chain of malls owner Henry
Sy were among the very few who declined
the appointment made by President Gloria
Macapagal Arroyo prior to the elections.
Anita Carpon, who was earlier reported
to have been appointed to the Board of
Trustees of the Pag-IBIG Fund, and Teresita
Sy Coson, who have been appointed to
the Philippine Reclamation Authority (for-
merly Public Estates Authority), were
praised by the camp of presidential front
runner Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III for
having “delicadeza.”
Most of the nearly over 200 appointees
made it to the juicy positions in the Gov-
ernment-Owned and-Controlled Corpora-
tions (GOCCs).
The appointments made by Arroyo
were said to be done at the last hours of
her term. But some appointments were said
to be dated March 25, days after the ban
took effect. The ban has taken effect on
March 10, which was 60 days before the
May 10 elections.
Press Secretary Jun Icban said Arroyo
has the right to make appointments, maybe
11th hour appointment, but the president
has all the right.
On the other hand, Icban said Carpon
declined her appointment because she felt
it was too much an honor and she did not
want to get the president in any further
trouble. Alex Balcoba
Ayala Avenue to be closed
on Thursday, Friday
AYALA Avenue in Makati City will be
closed to traffic from June 10 to 11 for the
grand parade highlighting the city's 340th
founding anniversary.
The city’s Department of Public Safety
(DPS) said on its advisory that several roads
will be closed from noon of June 10, Thurs-
day.
Herminigildo San Miguel, DPS director,
said to be closed starting noon of June 10 for
the construction of the grand parade stage are
both lanes of Ayala Avenue from Makati Av-
enue up to Herrera Street – both lanes of Paseo
de Roxas from Sedeño St. to Dela Rosa St. ,
and Rufino St. from Valero to Dela Rosa Streets.
Also to be closed from noon of Thursday
to 4 p.m. of June 11 are Malugay Street from
Pasong Tamo to Ayala Ave. and from Ayala
Ave. to Gil Puyat Ave. ; and Ayala Avenue
from Gil Puyat Ave. to Metropolitan Ave. and
from Kamagong to Gil Puyat Ave.
All passenger buses from EDSA are ad-
vised to turn right to Gil Puyat Ave. toward
destination.
Buses coming from the South Luzon Ex-
pressway, Buendia and Pasay City are ad-
vised to take Gil Puyat Ave. and to turn left
at EDSA towards their destination.
Traffic enforcers, according to San Miguel,
will be deployed to assist in maintaining
smooth flow of traffic.
San Miguel added that motorists should
expect heavy traffic and advised them to take
alternative routes and avoid the activity area.

FOI bill should pass in
Aquino’s first 100 days
THE new Congress should quickly revive
the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill, and
pass it within the first 100 days of the ad-
ministration of incoming president Benigno
“Noynoy” Aquino III, who ran on a power-
ful anti-corruption platform, according to a
labor group.
Former Sen. Ernesto Herrera, Trade Union
Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) secre-
tary-general, said the bill's approval inside
the first 100 days of the new administration
will surely give meaning to Aquino's force-
ful anti-corruption stance.
The FOI bill seeks to enable the public's

tion on matters of civic concern, including

Miguel Cotto still got power

PUERTO Rico's Miguel Cotto bounced
back from his November loss to pound-for-
pound king Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2) when
he stopped WBA junior middleweight cham-
pion Yuri Foreman.
Cotto's trademark left jabs and hooks once
again deployed with precision
against his ring opponent, earning
Cotto a ninth round stoppage.
The Caguas-native earned a belt
in another weight class and is now
the new WBA junior middleweight
champion.
The Jewish Foreman was born
in East Russia and moved to Brook-
lyn, New York
Cotto improved his record to 35
wins and 2 losses, while Foreman
suffered his first loss and dropped
to 28 wins with 1 loss.
WBO welterweight champion Pacquiao,
wearing a dark pink shirt and black vest, sat
at ringside along with wife Jinkee and Top
Rank Promoter Bob Arum, a day after col-
lecting Fighter of the Year and Fighter of the
Decade honors from the Boxing Writers As-
sociation of America. Pacquiao sat in front
of actress Naomi Watts and took photos with
admirers seeking photo-ops using his Black-
berry phone.
Foreman weighed in for the fight at the
junior middleweight limit of 154 lbs. while
Cotto weighed in at his heaviest at 153.5 lbs.
The Puerto Rican won the early
part of the fight by throwing peri-
odic, accurate jabs at a steady pace.
Trainer Emmanuel Steward clearly
instilled discipline in Cotto's
gameplan as the latter often re-
fused to go after Foreman when
the latter was staggered, preferring
to throw low-risk jabs at oppor-
tune times. In other words, Cotto
refused to get reckless and stayed
methodical.
The taller Foreman was forced
to pedal backwards for chunks of
the first three rounds, often in attempting to
counter Cotto.
Foreman possessed a slightly shorter reach
than his opponent and often landed right
jabs and hooks into Cotto, but not enough.
HBO's unofficial scorer Harold Lederman
scored the first three rounds for Cotto.

Order of Merit lead
ASIAN Tour campaigner Artemio
Murakami continued to hold sway in
the Order of Merit ranking of the ICTSI-
Philippine Golf Tour, piling up earn-
ings of P557,450 after five legs of the
country’s premier 13-stage circuit.
Boosted by his come-from-behind
victory in the Mercedes-Benz Mas-
ters Philippines at the Manila
Southwoods last April, Murakami,
27, kept his lead over a charging Mars
Pucay with a third place finish in
the ICTSI-Forest Hills Invitational re-
cently.
Pucay, also a regular campaigner
on the Asian Tour and the Mercedes-
Benz Tour, snapped a long title
drought on the local front by ruling
the Forest Hills stage, outdueling
reigning Philippine Open champion
Elmer Salvador and Murakami in a
final round shootout.
With his P200,000 prize, the 39-
year-old Pucay, who also finished
joint second with Jay Bayron at
Southwoods, moved up to second
with P493,921 winnings.
Bayron, the erstwhile frontrunner
with runner-up finishes at ICTSI
Classics at Mt. Malarayat and
Sherwood, slid to third with earnings
of P460, 471.
Salvador, winner at Mt. Malarayat,
the kickoff leg of this year ’s circuit
sponsored by International Container
Terminal Services, Inc. and organized
by the Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.,
is in fourth with P402,746 winnings.
Juvic Pagunsan, who dominated the
