We’re getting older so we have to strive harder,” he said.Catalan said he is more than ready to step back in the cage and snap his two-match skid.“The promoters said that I might have a fight on November in Myanmar and I was preparing for that, but that didn’t push through. I have trained well and I have trained long and I can say that I’m really ready for this December fight,” he said.Catalan also likes his chances against Kongsrichai given that the two of them are in an even keel when it comes to their strengths.“We’re both strikers and I know wrestling since he’s also a wrestler. I think this will be a good fight because we have the same skill and it all depends on who has the better conditioning,” he said as he eyes to once again have his arms raised. “I’ve worked hard to get here, so I’ll continue with this and hope that I get the win.”ADVERTISEMENT Coco’s house rules on ‘Probinsyano’ set View comments Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard PLAY LIST 02:14Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard02:56NCRPO pledges to donate P3.5 million to victims of Taal eruption00:56Heavy rain brings some relief in Australia02:37Calm moments allow Taal folks some respite03:23Negosyo sa Tagaytay City, bagsak sa pag-aalboroto ng Bulkang Taal01:13Christian Standhardinger wins PBA Best Player award Steam emission over Taal’s main crater ‘steady’ for past 24 hours But as he fielded questions from the reporters, Catalan had more stories to share than what he initially thought.He shared that he is entering the cage this Saturday at ONE: Warriors of the World with a lot of emotions.FEATURED STORIESSPORTSRedemption is sweet for Ginebra, Scottie ThompsonSPORTSMayweather beats Pacquiao, Canelo for ‘Fighter of the Decade’SPORTSBrian Heruela arrival bolsters Phoenix backcourt, defenseCatalan (4-3) is dedicating his match against Kritsada Kongsrichai (5-1) of Thailand at Impact Arena here to his departed friend Rocky Batolbatol, who passed away last July.The 31-year-old also knows that he’s slowly running out of time in his mixed martial arts career.

…calls new Linden tolls discriminatory, unconstitutionalA successful law suit can be filed against the coalition A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance for Change (APNU/AFC) Government every week—the latest legal infraction being the recently introduced tolls to traverse Linden—long considered the gateway to the interior.Opposition Leader Bharrat JagdeoThis is the view of Former Attorney General (AG) and Legal Affairs Minister, Anil Nandlall, who insists that the new tolls are not only discriminatory but a violation of the Guyana Constitution which enshrines that no law shall make provisions to provide for any discrimination.Nandlall is of the opinion that the By-Laws recently approved by Communities Minister, Ronald Bulkan, is one such violation of the Guyana Constitution since it is inherently discriminatory.“These By-Laws, in essence, impose toll charges on vehicles travelling through the municipality of Linden… significantly; the By-Laws provide that these tolls do not apply to vehicles which are registered in the names of a person living in Linden.”It was set out in the recently enacted By-Laws that Lindeners are to pay a toll to be determined by the Council twice a year in January and July and “presumably, the toll that would be fixed for Lindeners would be, appreciatively, lower.”Nandlall has since posited that by “applying these constitutional provisions to those By-Laws, every first yearCommunities Minister Ronald Bulkanlaw student would conclude that those By-Laws are discriminatory and inconsistent with Article 149 and therefore, are null and void by virtue of Article 8 of the Constitution.”He posited that the enacted By-Laws would have enjoyed legal scrutiny, as well as the approval of Cabinet and as such, “I cannot help but express my bewilderment, as I have often done, at how such elementary legal mistakes can survive the scrutiny of a Cabinet comprising of an Attorney General and four other lawyers.”Nandlall said he has since advised the Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo, to hire a full-time lawyer for his office since “a successful law suit can be filed against this government every week.”According to the former AG and Legal Affairs Minister, the imposition of tolls is but the latest in an avalanche of increased tax measures that have been imposed in an environment of no commensurate increase in wages, no new investments and no job-creation opportunities.He said, “to compound the plight of the ordinary Guyanese, these economic disincentives are complemented by and coupled with a plethora of similarly oppressive and anti-business policies imposed by the government.”Former Attorney General and Legal Affairs Minister, Anil NandlallNandlall suggested that the result has been gross economic decline, commercial stagnation and fiscal inertia:“Indeed, anyone unfamiliar with the realities of Guyana, reading the vast and varying compendium of tax measures to which I have alluded, would never believe that that regime of tax measures were imposed over a period of a mere seven months, that is, March to August, 2016.”He said, “thus far, we have witnessed astronomical increases, in some instances, as high as 1200 per cent in 140 public licences fees.”He pointed too to the imposition of VAT on heavy-duty equipment in agricultural, mining, forestry and construction industries which were hitherto VAT-free; the imposition of taxes on imported raw materials for the manufacturing industry; the imposition of higher import duties and taxes on vehicles by banning the importation of vehicles that are eight years and older; the imposition of higher taxes on steel; the imposition of a tax on containers; the routine subjecting of almost every container imported to almost 100 per cent inspection by Customs which invariably leads to increase in Customs and Excise Duties; increased parking fees at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport by 400 per cent; the impending implementation of parking meters within the City of Georgetown; the increase in application fees for State lands from $5000 to $55,000; the proposal to increase rates and taxes on properties throughout the country; the proposal to increase drainage and irrigation charges by MMA/ADA from $2500 per acre to $6000 per acre annually; the proposal to increase fees at the Demerara Harbour Bridge; inter alia.Nandlall said he is of the view that the coalition Government is pursuing a flawed fiscal policy of supplementing the shortfall of revenue by increasing taxation.According to Nandlall, the grand plan appears to be to augment revenue by taxing the population to the hilt, while waiting on the oil revenues to flourish.He said government appears oblivious to the stark economic truth that no country ever accumulated its wealth by overtaxing taxing its people, adding too that thus far, government is yet to produce a plan or a policy that would lend to job creation, increasing the size of the economy, attract and generate local or foreign investments, sourcing new markets for our produce, addressing the astronomical cost of energy or deliver social justice – all of which are so vital to economic growth and the social elevation of our people.

The Grande Prairie Wheelers have been quietly sneaking up on Fort St. John in the race for second place in the NWJHL.But on Friday night, the Huskies made a loud statement with a dominant win over Grande Prairie.The Huskies struck four times in the first five minutes of the game, chasing Wheelers starter Tyler Vant Erve from the net. Fort St. John added four more in the second, ending up with a 9-2 win.- Advertisement -The Huskies top two lines looked very impressive all night long, cycling the puck well both on the powerplay and five-on-five, and creating all kinds of scoring chances. Showing their depth, the pups also got two goals from their third line (Luke McInerney) and two goals from defencemen (Tyson Pederson, Jesse Disher).The Huskies got goals on the night from Kole Norris, Tyson Pederson, Luke McInerney (2), Robbie Sidhu, Dylan Apsassin, Cody Hildebrand, Jesse Disher, and Cody Kalb. Responding for Grande Prairie were Cory Littman and Patrick Pearson. Garrett Muir earned the win in goal, making several strong saves, particularly in the second period, to maintain Fort St. John’s stranglehold on the flow of the game. Advertisement “We looked at it as a playoff game” said Huskies Coach Bob Kalb after the game. “Not a must win, in once sense, but it really puts us in a good position to cinch-down second place.”Cody Hildebrand registered a ‘Gordie Howe Hat-trick’ with a goal, two assists, and one of five third period fights. “We played good the whole 60 minutes” he said after the game, admitting the game lacked intensity in the third period, but indicating that the Wheelers had pretty-much given up.The Huskies still have a pair of home games remaining this weekend, as they host the Slave Lake Wolves on Saturday night at 8 o’clock, and Sunday afternoon at 2. “We just need to make sure we don’t take them easy” Cody Hildebrand said of the games against Slave Lake. “AS long as we play our game, just like we did tonight, we’ll have no problem at all.”
