Mga Hadlang sa Kaunlaran (Hindrance to Development)

June 22, 2009

Alih S. Anso – June 22, 2009

Kaunlaran sa sarili, sa mamayan, sa bayan, kultura at kaugalian, kaunlaran sa kanilang paniniwala,  ang lahat ng anggulo ng mga nababanggit  ay dapat tataas ang antas nito para mapabilang sa sinasabi nating kaunlaran.

May mga kaunlaran na sa mga pisikal na anyo lamang, nakikita. Halimbawa nito ay ang mga pag-usbong ng mga malalaki at matataas na building, tulad halimbawa sa Makati City,  ay sasabihin na natin na mauland na ang Makati.

Bawat tribu, bansa at henerasyon ay may sariling pananaw sa sinasabing kaunlaran. Ano bang bansa ngayon sa mundo ang maulad? America? Japan? Singapore?

Ayon sa mga malalayo ang pananaw o malaki ang anking talino o sa madaling salita matatalinong tao, “May pag-unlad ang kanilang pisikal na kaunyuhan, ngunit sira naman ang kanilang moralidad, nawawala ang kanilang pananampalataya sa Diyos”

Ito ang basehan natin sa mga ipapahayag natin na mga  hadlang sa Pag-unlad ng Sambayanan o Kaunlaran na minimithi ng bawat tao sa mundong ito na punong-puno ng pagkukunwari.

1.    Sistema ng goberno (system of government)

Bawat tribu o bansa ay may kinamulatan, nakaugalian at pinaniniwalaan na sistema ng kanyang pamamahala sa sariling pamilya, tribu o bansa.

Kadalasan, ang nangyayari ay iniinsist o ipinipilit natin na ito ang tamang sistemang ng pamahalaan ang nararapat sa isang bansa, isang rehiyon o tribu. Ang halimbawa nito ay ang Pilipinas, ang nilimbag na sistema ng pamahalaan (system of government) ng  Amerika  sa atin ay isang experiment lamang, dahil ang kanilang sisetma ay di katulad ng kanilang nilmbag para sa mga Pilipino. Sa America ay hinati hati sa estado (state) at bawat estado ay may sariling system na angkop sa kanilang mamayan.

Sa Pilipinas ngayon ay nahati-hati ang mga pinuno (leader) natin kong anong sistimang goberno ang paiiralin. Ang iba ay nagsusulong na panatilihin ang kasalukuyang sistema na ang presidente ay separate sa legislature, ang iba naman ay parliamentary system, ang iba tulad ni Nene Pementel. Ayon sa balita, ang    Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. ay nag- filed Joint Resolution 10 na may mungkahi (proposal) na magpapalit tayo ng mula sa  presidential patungo sa  parliamentary system ng government. Ito ay sinuportahan ng ibang senador. ( Manuel Villar Jr., Edgardo Angara, Pia Cayetano, Juan Ponce Enrile, Francis Escudero, Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, Gregorio Honasan, Panfilo Lacson, Francis Pangilinan and Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr.)

Ayon kay Chiz Escudero: “Ang sistema ng goberno   ay isang paraan lamang ng pagbibigay ng serbisyo sa mamayan at hinahati ito sa kanya kanyang aspeto at nasasakupan, hindi na natin kailangan magpalit ng gobyerno kundi ang magkaroon lang ng tamang implementasyon ng mga polisiya na para sa mamayan,”.

Wala daw sa sistema ng goberno ang ikaayos kundi sa pagpapatupad at pamamalakad ng isang lider.

2.    Pinuno (leadership)

May sinabi si Senador Ecudero: “SA LIDER BA  SA SISTEMA BA NG GOBYERNO  O SA MAMAMAYAN”…  ang kaularan ng Bansa?

May nagsasabi na: “sa pinuno ng Bansa (presidente) nakasalalay ang pagkakaroon ng malinaw at malawak na pagkakaintindi sa hinaharap na pamumuhay ng bawat isa sa ating bansa, tayong mga pilipino ay may ugaling asa kung saan ay palagi nating tinitignana ang lider na simbulo ng katatagan at may paninindigan para sa pangkalahatan…ngunit kapag ang ating pinuno ay me mga isyung kinahaharap na walang kasagutan at puro pagbabalat kayo tayo ay nadadala na at imbis na katigan ay ating isinasawalangbahala na lamang dahil sa kapangyarihan nya, na kung tutuusin ay tayo rin dapat ang mag alis sa kanya….”.

Ayon sa  isang leader ng bansa: “ isang lider na na may paninindigan, tapat sa pangkahalatan polisiya ng pamamalakad”

Ayon kay Michael “Mike” Mastura (dating congressman at ngayon ay member ng MILF peace panel): “….ang kailangan sa leader ay may political will”.

Ang ibig sabihin nito ay lider na may paninindigan sa sarili, hindi basta-basta ma-psy-war ng kanyang kalaban, hindi nagdadalawang isip na ipatupad ang alam niyang tama.

Sabi ng isang retired na guro at politician: “Mamayan ang syang sandigan ng isang bansa para sa kanyang kaunlaran. Kailangan iwasan ang lagayan, usigin ang lumalabag sa batas, at higit sa lahat palakasin natin ang pananampalataya sa Diyos”.

3.    Edukasyon-

Ang edukasyon ay hadlang sa kaunlaran kong ito ay hindi angkop sa paniniwala ng mga mamayan, ang mga tinuturo nito. Kinakailangan ang tamang disinyo (design) mga curriculum para sa mga bata, na angkop sa kanilang kultura at paniniwala. Kinakailangan  na linangin ang  kanilang kamulatan sa “moral values” na kailangan paniniwala, upang hindi tumino sa kanilang isip at matanim sa kanilang puso at damdamin.

Kinakalilangan din na maitama ang pag-iisip ng mga kabataan kong papaano gagamitin ang karunungan na kanilang natutunan, lalo na sa makabagong imbensyon. Dahil mawawalan ang saysay ang  mga pagsusulong na binsagang: “Edukasyon Tungo sa Kaunlaran”.

Ako, ikaw, tayo ay nangangarap na maging propesyunal sa darating na panahon upang marahil ay makatulong naman tayo sa ating magulang at nakakabatang kapatid o kaya naman ay  makiisa sa pagsulong at pag-unlad ng daigdig.

Sa panahong ito, tapang, tiyaga, talino at paniniwala sa itaas ang kailangan. Hindi sapat na makatapos ka lamang ng kolehiyo, kailangan ang patuloy na pag-aaral para sa kaunlaran.

Mga kaibigan, nasa COMPUTER AGE na po tayo ngayon, makabago at moderno ang teknolohiya. Kung ating iisipin, sadyang mabilis ang pagsulong natin. Subalit sa isang sulok ng aking pag-iisip ay nagtatanong.

“Kaunlaran nga bang matatawag ang dulot ng edukasyon sa ngayon?”

Kasi nga nariyan ang mataas na antas ng teknolohiya subalit mataas na antas din ng suliraning kinakaharap ng ating bansa. Halimbawa nito   maalaala ba ninyo ang millenium bug o Y2K? Noon  ang pagkasira ng mga computer sa taong 2000. Ang patuloy na imbensyon ng mga gamit pandigma,  na ang bunga sa sanlibutan ay   pagkasira ng ating kinabukasan, o pagkagunaw ng mundo.

Payo ni Ustadz (ayaw ipabanggit ang pangalan): “Bakit hindi natin gamitin ang katalinuhan sa paggawa ng mga bagay na ayon sa ikabubuti ng lahat, hindi upang maging tanyag at kilalanin ng buong mundo. Bakit hindi natin isipin ang susunod na henerasyon.”

Maranasan pa kaya ng ating susunod na henerasyon  ang kaginhawahan at kaunlaran  pagdating ng panahon kung ang ninanais ng ating mga henyo ay makapagpabagsak ng ekonomiya ng iba upang tanghalin at kilalaning pinakamatalino at pinakamataas?

Nakalulunos isipin na ang dulot ng kaunlaran sa edukasyon ay ang pagbagsak at maling layunin. Kung ating sasariwain, tunay na nga ba  tayong maunlad. Bakit ko naitanong  iyan?

Nariyan ang mga ATM’s na isang pindot mo lang ay pera na, mga computer na sasagot sa marami mong katanungan kahit sa pag-aaral, mga cellular phones, mga remote control na sasakyan at ang huli’y ang napapabalitang micro o computer chips na kapag napalagay sa kanang kamay o sa noo ay di na kailangan ng salapi sapagkat mabibili mo na ng anumang nais bilihin– ang tawag diyan ay cashless society.

Nakapangingilabot isipin, dahil sa labis na kaalinuhan ng tao, ang Diyos na makapangyarihan ay kinakalaban na ng tao. Pilit na binagago ang  mga nilalang ng Diyos. Pinapalitan ang kasarian, nagkamali ba ang Diyos?

Ang mga Kabataan sa ngayon  ang susunod na henyo ng darating na panahon, susundan ba natin ang yapak ng naunang henyo?

Hindi masama ang pag-unlad kung layunin ay para sa ikabubuti ng tao at hindi pansarili lamang.

Sa panahong ito, kailangang bukas ang ating isipan sa anumang teknolohiya na pumapasok sa bansa mula sa silangan at kanluran at ibang panig ng daigdig upang hindi tayo madaya ninuman. Isang hamon ang nais kong iwanan sa bawat kabataan–saan mo nais gamitin ang iyong talino –sa kabutihan? sa katanyagan? sa pansarili lang ba? na sa bandang huli’y siguradong pagsisihan mo?.

Mga kaibigan ang tunay na Edukasyon tungo sa kaunlaran, ay ang mga imbensyong hindi nakasisira sa kalikasan at sangkatauhan o ni nagiging sanhi ng karahasan.

4.    Kultura at Kaugalian

Dahil sa kultura at kaugalian na iba-iba ay isa sumasagabal sa ating kaunlaran, kaya, nararapat na maintindihan natin ang mga kultura at kaugaliang ito ng bawat tribu upang ating mabigyan pansin at respeto. Palagi nating bigyan ng consideration  sa ating pag-mumungkahi at pagpapatupad ng mga batas ang kultura at kaugalian.

5.    Peace & Condition

Kinakailangan natin alamin ang punot dulo ng mga kaguluhan, hindi lamang sa kanyang kasalukuyang dahilan kundi ang pinakaugat nito.

Halimbawa nito ay peace at order na lumalabo dito sa atin bansa. Ang palaging tinitingnan ng karamihan ay ang dahilan ay ang kasalukuyang    pinagmulan ng gulo, hindi tiningtingnan ang pinaka-ugat nito. Para sa mga Bangsamoro ang dahilan ay ang Justice na hindi naipapagkalob sa kanila.

invoked during slaughter
• Prohibition of meat of animals which have not been slaughtered according to Islamic
guidelines
• Prohibition of food items containing alcohol or intoxicants
• Prohibition of food which are poisonous and harmful to health
As a quality assurance system by itself similar to the functions of the various quality systems
such as HACCP, GMP, and ISO, the institution of Halal highlights the following:
􀂃 The “acceptability” of what constitutes the term Halal according to the Holy
Qur’an
􀂃 Critical points in the manufacture of food that no contamination takes place
􀂃 Identification of where potential risks may occur along the chain
􀂃 The use of science and hard evidence to establish the purity of both the
ingredients used and the finished product

certified as Halal.
8.3 It should be healthy and alive and free from any signs of wounds, disease, or any form
of disfigurement when brought to the slaughterhouse.
CDPNS 2067:2007
10

8.5 Any ill treatment, beating and acts that may cause stress or fear are strictly forbidden
on all animals awaiting slaughtering.
8.6 Food withdrawal of 3 days for scavenging fowls e.g. chicken and ducks and 40 days
for large animals
8.7 Animals with wounds should be fully healed prior to slaughterer
8.8 Treatment for animals with deformities
9 Slaughtering
9.1 As a rule, the slaughtering of the animal should be fully separated (suggestion
“isolated”) from those that are considered haram (pigs, dogs, crocodiles, etc).
9.2 It must only be carried out or performed by a practicing Muslim certified by Islamic
Competent Authority who is of sound mind, mature, pious and who fully understands the
fundamentals, rules, and conditions related to Islamic way of slaughtering animals.
9.3 The act of Halal slaughtering begins with the positioning of the animal laid on its side
preferably in the direction of Qibla followed by an incision in the neck at some point below
the glottis. The Phrase “Bismillah” (in the name of ALLAH) must be immediately recited and
invoked during the act. The main objective of the slaughtering is consciously only for the
sake of Allah as prescribed in the Holy Qu’ran. ( The Phrase Bismillah Allahu-Akbar”
should be recited completely)
9.4 The slaughtering must sever the trachea, the esophagus, and the carotid arteries and
jugular veins in one stroke to bring about an immediate and massive hemorrhage.
9.5 Avery sharp knife - preferably a stainless one- is recommended. (Include the
illustration of the design of the knife)
9.6 The sawing action of slaughtering for large animal like cattle is permitted, as long the
cutting device is not lifted. Any lifting of the knife is considered as the end of one act of
slaughtering. In other words, multiple slaughtering acts on an animal are not allowed.
9.7 Slaughtering of fowls and other Halal animals by mechanical knife is NOT permitted
and will not be approved by the Islamic Competent Authority.
9.8 As a veterinary and quarantine requirement, a post mortem have to be conducted on
the slaughtered animal or fowl to determine that full-blown or incipient diseases in the
internal organs and muscles do not exist and finally cleared for processing, (cold) storage,
and eventual trade and consumption.
CDPNS 2067:2007
11
10 Stunning
Stunning is used to render the animal unconscious prior to slaughtering. Stunning is done to
avoid wild movement of the body of the animal or fowl when slaughtering takes place and
make the process less painful to the animal.
10.1 For large animals, either the mechanical non-penetrative percussion stunner or
pneumatic (air pressure) stunner can be used while electrical stunning using water bath
stunner is employed on chicken and other fowls (stunning is generally practiced in an
integrated meat processing plant and in high volume abattoir).
10.2 The use of stunning equipment must be, at all times, under the control of Muslim
supervisor or trained or experienced Muslim slaughterman.
10.3 As a rule, stunning must not cause death or permanent injury and the life of the
animal/fowl must remain in the state of Hayah Mustaquirrah (full strength natural state of
life) and not in the state of Hayah Mazbuhah (state of life occurs after slaughtering).
10.4 A stunned animal with broken skull would be classified as non-Halal and would be
separated from Halal carcasses.
10.5 The electrical stunning of fowls is of low and controlled voltage as prescribed and
approved by the Islamic Competent Authority. This should allow the fowl to remain in the
state of life but a bit unconscious. The stunning practice, however, may not be necessary
where only two or three large animals or few fowls are to be slaughtered. In this situation, the
Muslim slaughterman may adopt the traditional way of slaughtering the animals and fowls.
10.6 However, it is not preferable to stun animals.
11 Dressing and Cleaning
Dressing and cleaning of the carcass must only commence after ascertaining that the animal
is pronounced dead and ready for processing. Internals, throw-away parts, and shavings,
dehidings, defeatherings have to be disposed of immediately and properly in accordance with
waste disposal regulation by the government.
12 Guidelines in Preparing, Processing/Manufacturing, Handling, Packaging and
Serving of Halal Foods
12.1 Cleanliness, Hygiene and Sanitation
12.2 Hygiene has been given strong emphasis in Islam and it includes aspects of personal
hygiene, clothing, equipment, and working premises for food processing , manufacturing and
food services. The objective is to ascertain that the food in its final form is hygienic and is not
hazardous to health.
12.3 Hygienic can be defined as free from najis, contamination, and harmful
microorganisms.
CDPNS 2067:2007
12
12.4 All foods shall be prepared, processed, packaged, transported and stored in such a
manner that they are in strict compliance to hygiene and sanitary requirements of Codex
General Principles of Food Hygiene and the General concepts of GMP.
12.5 Processing and Handling
A processed food is “halal” if it meets the following conditions;
12.5.1 The product or its ingredients does not contain any component or products of animals
that are non-halal by Shariah Law or products of animals that are not slaughtered according
to Shariah Law:
12.5.2 the product does not contain anything in any quantity that is decreed as najis by
Shariah Law;
12.5.3 the product or its ingredients are safe and not harmful;
12.5.4 the product is prepared, processed or manufactured using equipment and facilities that
are free from contamination with najis; and
12.5.5 during its preparation, processing, storage or transportation, it shall be physically
separated from any other food that does not meet the requirements specified in items (a), (b)
or/and (c) or any other things that are decreed as najis by Shariah Law.
12.6 Devices, utensils, machines and processing aids
12.6.1 Devices, utensils, machines and processing aids used for processing halal food shall
not be made of or contain any materials that are decreed as najs by Shariah Law and shall
be used only for halal food.
12.6.2 Devices, utensils and machines which were previously used or in contact with najs
al-mughallazah shall be washed and ritually cleansed (dibagh) as required by Shariah law
12.6.3 In the case of converting najs al-mughallazah line or processing line containing
najs al-mughallazah into halal production line, the line shall be washed and ritually
cleansed (dibagh) as required by Shariahlaw (see Annex C). This procedure shall be
supervised and verified by the competent Islamic Authority. Upon conversion, the line shall
be operated for halal food only. Repetition in converting the line to najs al-mughallazah
line and back to halal line, shall not be permitted.
12.7 Storage, transport, Display and Serving
All Halal products that are stored, transported, and displayed either for sale or subsequent
consumption must be kept segregated from non-Halal products to prevent them from being
mixed or contaminated. Any contact with haram products, in its strictest sense, would
automatically render the Halal products non-Halal. Transport, storage, and display facilities
would have to be thoroughly cleaned prior to its use.
CDPNS 2067:2007
13
12.8 Packaging and Labelling
12.8.1 All packaging materials to be used for Halal products starting from ingredients to
finished products should be Halal in nature and must not be contaminated by najis (unclean).
Truth in labeling is a must as prescribed by International and National Guidelines.
12.8.2 Each container shall be marked legibly and indelibly or a label shall be attached to
the container, with the following information;
a) Name of the product
b) Net content expressed in metric system (SI units)
c) Name and address of the manufacturer, importer and/or distributor and trademark;
d) List of ingredients
e) Code number identifying date and/or batch number of manufacture and expiry
date; and
f) Country of origin, if imported
12.8.3 For primary meat products, in addition to requirements specified in 14.2, the label
or mark shall also include the following information;
a) Date of slaughter; and
b) Date processing
13 Halal Certification Mark
Each product, shall be marked with the Halal certification mark provided the product
conforms to the requirements of this standard.

ANNEX A
Divine Guidance
The following Qur’anic injunctions and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) shall
guide the Halal Certification Authority in the conduct of its responsibilities:
ALLAH (SWT) enjoined all Muslims to eat only Halal (Lawful), and when in doubt,
avoid its consumption-
يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ آُلُواْ مِمَّا فِي ٱلأَرْضِ حَلاَلاً طَيِّباً وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَاتِ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ
إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
O ye people! Eat of what is on earth, lawful and good; and do not follow the footsteps of
satan for he is to you an avowed enemy. (Qur-an 2:168)
يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ آُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاآُمْ وَٱشْكُرُواْ للَّهِ إِن آُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
O ye who believe! eat of the good things that we have provided for you. And be grateful to
Allah, if it is Him ye worship. (Qِur-an 2:172)
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلاَ عَادٍ فَلاۤ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّ ٱللَّ ه
غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine and that on which
any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity,
without willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, then is he guiltless. For Allah is
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. (Qِur-an 2:173)
وَلاَ تَأْآُلُواْ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْآَرِ ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ وَإِنَّ ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَىۤ أَوْلِيَآئِهِمْ لِيُجَادِلُوآُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُ م
لَمُشْرِآُونَ
Eat not of (meats) on which Allah’s name hath not been pronounced: that would be impiety.
But the satans ever inspire their friends to contend with you if ye were to obey them, ye
would indeed be pagans. (Qur-an 6:121)
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ وَٱلْدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ ٱلْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِ وَٱلْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَٱلْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَٱلْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَٱلنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَآ
أَآَلَ ٱلسَّبُعُ إِلاَّ مَا ذَآَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى ٱلنُّصُبِ وَأَنْ تَسْتَقْسِمُواْ بِٱلأَزْلاَمِ ذٰلِكُمْ فِسْقٌ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ آَفَرُواْ مِن دِينِكُمْ فَ لا
تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَٱخْشَوْنِ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَآْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلأِسْلاَمَ دِيناً فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ فِي مَخْمَصَ ة
غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لإِثْمٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swine flesh, and that which
dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the
dead through falling from height, and that has been killed by goring of horns and devoured of
wild beasts saving that which you make lawful and that which has been immolated to idols.
And that you swear by divining arrows. This is an abomination. (Qur-an 5:3)
يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَآ أُحِلَّ لَهُمْ قُلْ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَاتُ وَمَا عَلَّمْتُمْ مِّنَ ٱلْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَكُلُواْ مِمَّآ أَمْسَكْ ن
عَلَيْكُمْ وَٱذْآُرُواْ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ
CDPNS 2067:2007

They ask thee what is lawful to them (as food). Say: lawful unto you are (all) things good and
pure: and what ye have taught the beasts and birds of prey, training them to hunt in the
manner directed to you by Allah: eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of
Allah over it: and fear Allah; For Allah is swift in taking account. (Qur-an 5:3)
Annex B
Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:
“Those who eat Halal, follow the tradition of the Prophet and do not harm others will go
to heaven.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
“I swear by Allah (SWT) in whose hands is my life. When a person eats a tiny piece of
an item which is haram, none of his deeds are accepted by Allah (SWT) for forty days. When
the flesh of the body is built from haram then his body only deserves the hell fire.” (Muslim)
“Many people put lot of effort in worship of Allah (SWT) and then spread their hands
saying O Allah (SWT)! O Allah (SWT)! Please accept our supplications. But if their eating is
haram, their clothing is haram, how then their prayer be accepted.” (Muslim and Al-
Tirmidhi)
“There will come a time upon my Ummah when people will not be concerned with what
they consume. It will not matter to them whether it is haram or Halal; “When such time
appears, none of their du’as suggestion du’as ( supplication) be accepted” (Al-Bukhari)
“Purification is half of the faith” (Muslim)
SUGGESTION:
• **** Should be written also in Arabic and cite specific verse, volume, page and dates
of publication esp. on Muslim and Bukhari Al-Tirmidhi
• Arabic translations should go with vowel markings
Annex C
Reasons for prohibitions of eating dead animals and consumption of flowing blood
C.1 Eating the flesh of a dead animal is repugnant to civilized taste and is considered by
thinking people in all societies to be contrary to human dignity.
C.1.1 If the animal died a natural death, it is quite likely that it died of some acute or chronic
disease, through eating a poisonous plant, or infected by deadly micro-organism, or other similar
causes, hence eating its flesh would be harmful
C.1.2 The prohibition encourages the owner to guard the animals from any diseases and in case
the animal is sick, the owner will be quick to seek a cure.
C.2. The Prohibition of flowing blood. The reason for this prohibition is both that the
drinking of blood is repugnant to human decency and that it may be injurious to health
CDPNS 2067:2007

ANNEX D
D.1 Treatment of Cloned Animals
Cloning is simply creating a copy of living matter such as cell or organism. Scientists used
cloning techniques in the laboratory to create copies of cells or organisms with valuable traits.
Their works aim to find practical application for cloning that will produce advances in
medicines, biological researches, and industry.
Farmers started cloning plants thousands of years ago. Today, with the combinations of genetic
engineering and cloning techniques, better quality plants are replicated. Cloned animals,
however, generated heartfelt controversy that the debate on the pros and cons of this science is
still raging. Since the science of cloning is in its infancy, as argued, this could result in the
development of cloned animals or even humans with serious defects. One concern is the fear that
cloning tampers with God’s will.
`- From an Islamic point of view, this subject on cloning is indeed a very challenging matter to
deal with as it could bring into question Islam’s belief about Allah’s attribute as the creator as
raised by the Islamic Fiqh Academy (IFA). While cloned animals are yet to be produced
commercially that it would soon be a source of raw materials in food and non-food products, the
Board shares the view of the IFA that cloning does not bring into question any Islamic belief in
any way. As cited by IFA, “Allah is the Creator of the Universe but he has established the
system of cause-and-effect in this world”. “Cloning”, as IFA cited, is considered as a cause and
only trough Allah’s Will it can produce the effect. With this view, the Board further agrees that
cloning of plants and animals are permissible provided that the conditions* cited by Yusuf Al-
Qaradawi are met.
In addition, the board agrees that cloning is permissible only if it does not cause harm to the
environment and ecological balance. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said,“The merit of utilization
is in the benefit it yields, in proportion its harm.” (Tirmidhi) and further said, “There shall be no
infliction of harm on oneself or others.” (Ibn Majah) ____________
*1-It must bring about a real benefit to all people,
2-It must not result in harm which is greater than the benefit it has produced,
3-It must not bear any kind of harm to the animal used in the process; causing harm or torture
to an animal is forbidden in Islam.
D.2 Treatment of Genetically Engineered Foods or GMO Foods
Bio-engineered foods are in the heart of controversy over the years. It is a bold vision wherein
key food crops will be genetically altered or modified to offer better nutrition, repel pests, and
increase yield even in hostile environment. The process involves taking genes from entirely
unrelated organisms – viruses, bacteria, even from fish and other animals- and splices them
directly into plants. However, this newfound technology stirred debate among scientists,
farmers, consumers, environmentalists, and governments due to concern to human health, the
environment, and rural economies in the long term.
Noting that biotechnology and genetic engineering are at the forefront in the escalating
experimentation and, at some point, widespread production of bio-engineered (genetically
engineered) foods in many parts of the world, and given the mounting concern on its possible
effect to human health and environment alongside the divided views of scientific community in
CDPNS 2067:2007
20
this so-called technological breakthrough, the Board views these genetically-engineered
organisms in food as needing further studies as there is nothing to lose by waiting until scientists
know more about the long term effects of Genetically Engineered foods. Islam teaches caution
to its followers and the injunction of eating wholesome food. Genetically Engineered foods may
not be haram but it is best to avoid them. The introduction of animal genes into food plants
presents considerable ethical difficulties for Muslims and from the religious standpoint. A
moratorium on the release of genetically modified organisms may have to be pushed while
consumption of genetically engineered food by the public should be discouraged.
Acknowledging that Genetically Engineered foods are believed to be in the market and are
found in a number of snack foods and sauces, this Board supports the move to providing a
labeling law on Genetically Engineered foods as espoused by concerned organizations and
communities worldwide, and as a matter of informed choice to consumers.
The above basic view is parallel to that of the Rabat Declaration of the Islamic Academy of
Sciences made in October of 2001.
“The Halal is clear and the Haram is clear. Between the two there are doubtful matters
concerning which people do not know whether they are Halal or Haram. One who avoids them
in order to safeguard his religion and his honor is safe, while if someone engages in a part of
them he may be doing something Haram, like one who grazes his animals near the hima (the
grounds reserved for animals belonging to the King which are out of bounds for others’
animals); it is thus quite likely that some of his animals will stray into it. Truly, every King has a
hima, and the hima of Allah is what He has prohibited.”(Reported by al-Bukhari, Muslim and
others; the narration is taken from al-Tirmidhi.)
D.3 Hormones and Antibiotic in Animals
Hormones are used for a variety of commercial purposes. In the livestock industry, growth
hormones increase the amount of lean (non-fatty) meat in cattle. It likewise increases milk
production in dairy cows, or to increase the success rates of artificial insemination and speed
maturation of eggs.
It is a chemical that transfers information and instructions between cells in animals and plants.
As the body’s chemical messenger, hormones regulate growth and development, control
functions of various tissues, support reproductive functions, and and regulate metabolism (the
process used to break down food to create energy).
Antibiotics, on the other hand, are chemical compounds used to kill or inhibit the growth of
infectious organisms. Antibiotic refers to antibacterial. In the livestock and poultry industry, any
abuse in the use of antibiotics or any other drugs on the animals and fowls could have potential
adverse effect to humans who eventually consumes the meat and its byproducts.
Indeed, it is acknowledged that growth hormones and antibiotics are regularly used in
commercial livestock and poultry farms which fresh meats are distributed in wet markets and
supermarkets. It is also acknowledged that there have been instances of abuse in the use of these
hormones and antibiotics in animals and fowls that its residue is potentially harmful to human
health. The Board, therefore, encourages strict implementation of veterinary and quarantine
regulations even in rural areas as “hot meat”are known to proliferate in many unsuspecting
places in the country including ARMM. The Board further encourages the local government
units to implement ordinances, which direct that animals and fowls whose meats are being sold
CDPNS 2067:2007
21
in the market have to be slaughtered in either government-owned or accredited private
slaughterhouses rather than slaughtered in backyards without the benefit of veterinary inspection
services. Halal consumers are advised to always demand for clean and safe meat wherever they
buy them. It is a right they have to assert.

Reaction Mula sa SMS (Text) sa Term na: Christian at Muslim or Bangsamoro

(Part ng script na sinulat ni Kaka Alih para sa programang “Kapayapaan” 1-22-08)

Sa ating programa kahapon-Lunes-January 21, 2008, may natanggap tayong message na nagbigay sa atin ng idea na lalo mang masigasig na pag-aralan ang mga bagay-bagay na may kaugnayan sa Moro or Bangsamoro.

Heto ang text: 09217117965 time recived: 06:27:27  21-Jan-2008

“Peace Tama yang sulat ni Kaka Zamin..ang suggestion ko dapat talaga  d na gamitin ang salitang Christian at Muslim or Bangsamoro para d lalala ang hidwaan…dapat talagaang gamitin na salita na naraapat ay ang tribu mismo gaya ng magindanaon, Teduray, Illonggo,, Cebuanao and etc…kaya nga ininsist ko matagal na mali ang tripeople of Upi kc ang Muslim at Christian ay di tribe…Teduray lamang ang tribu.”

Sino ang mga Pilipino?

Noong 1543, pinamunuan ni Ruy López de Villalobos ang isang ekspedisyon patungo sa mga pulo at pinagalang Las Islas Felipinas (mula sa pangalan ni Felipe II ng Espanya) ang mga pulo ng Samar at Leyte. Hindi nagtagal, ibinigay ang pangalang ito sa buong arkipelago.

Ang Pilipinas ay naging lalawigan ng Nueva Espanya hanggang 1821, nang makamit ng Mexico ang kalayaan.

Ang pananakop sa kapuluaan ay nagtagumpay nang walang pakikipaglaban (maliban sa mga Muslim). Naging problema ng mga Kastila ang pakikipaglaban ng mga Muslim sa Mindanao at Sulu. Bilang sagot sa pag-atake ng mga Espanyol sa mga Muslim at kanilang mga kakampi, sinalakay nila ang mga lugar sa Luzon at Bisayas na nasa ilalim ng pamamahala ng Espanyol. Naglunsad ang mga Kastila ng mga kampanya laban sa mga Muslim, ngunit wala itong naging tiyak na resulta hanggang sa gitna ng ika-19 siglo.

1896 naging  Republika ng Pilipinas ang Islas Pilipinassa  tinatag na Republika  nina Aguinaldo

Sino ang Bangsamoro?

“Bangsamoro” is derived from “Bangsa”, meaning “nation”, and “Moro”, the Islamized people comprising 13 ethno-linguistic groups: Badjao, Iranun (also: Ilanun), Jama-Mapun, Kalagan, Kalibugan, Maguindanao, Maranao, Molbog (or, Melebugnon), Palawani, Samal, Sangil, Tausug, Yakan. (From: Bangsamoro Society and Culture, by Jamail A. Kamlian)

Historian Rudy B. Rodil lists also 13 groups, in the order of population from highest to lowest: Maguindanao, Maranao, Tausug Sama, Iranun, Yakan, Kalibugan/Kolibagan, Kalagan, Sangil, Jama Mapun, Sama Dilaut (Badyao) Panimusang/Palimusa, and Malbog (Palawan). Some of the names in some other references may have other variations.

Sa  article na sinulat ni Kaka Ali (Pilipino at Bangsamoro, Magkapatid? http://dxup.multiply.com/ Dec 26, ‘06 9:30 PM

“Ang tinatawag na Pilipino ay yaong mamayan na mga taga Pilipinas, na dinatnan dito ng Kastila, na sumunod sa mga kaugalian, relihiyon o iyong mga napilitang magpasakop sa kapangyarihan ng Kastila, dahil wala ng magawa kundi magpasakop dahil talo sila sa lakas at armas sa pakikipaglaban. Ang ilan sa Pilipino ay ang mga Taga-ilog o Tagalog na taga Bulakan at Maynila, mga Ilokano, Ilonggo, Cebuano at iba pang tribo.

Ang tinatawag naman na Moro ng mga Kastila ay yaong mga mamayan na dinatnan nila na lumalaban sa kanila, at katulad na katulad ng mga ugali, abilidad sa pakikidigma at relihiyon ng mga naging kalaban din nila sa kanilang bansang Espanya, na o mga taga Morocco.

Bagamat Moro sa una ang tawag, nitong mga huling panahon ay nadugtongan ng Bangsa na ang kahulugan sa sariling wika natin ng Bangsa ay angkan, kaya naging Bangsamoro na ngayon ang tawag. Nabibilang sa mga tinatawag ngayon na Bangsamoro ay ang tribong M’ranaw, Yakan, Maguindanaon, Iranon, T’duray, Suban’n, Tau Sug at marami pang iba, ang ibang manunulat, tulad ni Prof. Rudy Rodil ay hinati sa sa dalawang kategorya ang Moro, ang Islamized at hindi, o ang ibig sabihin ng Islamized ay tinanggap ang Islam bilang religion at pangalawang kategorya ay nanatili sa kanilang nakaugaliang pananampalataya.”

“Peace ang opinion ko bapa d pa rin acceptable ang Moro or Bangsamoro kc sa adhikain ng MILF gusto nila, halimbawa lang, ang Teduray ay Bangsamoro na rin, pero ang Tduray ay karamihan Christinized na.. ang term Bangsamoro ay ang futurecountry ng mindanaon muslims ngunit d ito marrealize kc d  papayag ang Mindanaon Christians. Bangsamoro will remain as unreliazed society just like d communist society of Karl Marx.“

Sagot ni Kaka Alih:”Optional ang ibang tribu na ayaw magpatawag ng Moro o  Bangsamoro, iyan ang issue na lumabas sa GRP-MILF peace talk. Ngunit bukas ang MILF kong tatanggapin  ng Teduray na sila ay Bangsamoro, dahil ang katotohanan, base sa Tarsila, o history ay kabilang sa /Bangsamoro ang Teduray, katulad sa Maguindanaon, Iranon at iba pa.”

“Peace tama yan bapa na d necessary na tawagin ka na moro kung Muslim ka, pwede  rin Christian tawagin Moro.. ito ang pananaw ng furute Bangsamoro Islamic state, kaya iniimune ang taga Mindanao sa tawag na Moro para marelize  ang Bangsamoro sanay na…dapat d muna  Moro ang tawag ang nararapat  Filipino or pinoy kc wala pa man Bangsamoro Islamic State”.

Sagot ni Kaka Alih: “to be called Bangsamoro ay hindi ibig sabihin ay Muslim ka, ang Bangsamoro ay maaring Muslim o Christiano, dahil to be Muslim ay pananampalataya at pagka Muslim ay pwedeng palitan anytime na gusto mo, tulad ng din ng pagka Christian, pwedeng palitan anytime of the day, but not your tribe, na Ilonggo, Iranun o iba pa, forever na iyan.;”

“Peace noon bapa ayaw nila tawagin moro kahit mga muslim dahil sa kasabihan a good moro is a dead  moro. Ngayun lang tinaggap ang moro dahil ito  ang magiging tawag kung marealized  ang Bangsamoro Islamic country.”

Sagot: kahit ako noon ayaw ko rin tawagin na Moro dahil ang alam ko masama ang conotation nito, ngunit ng malaman ko ang katotohanan na di naman pala masama ang Moro I am proud to be called Moro.
