- The mayor of San Policarpo in Eastern Samar holed him-self up at his office after a regional trial court directed him to step down from office declaring his rival as the duly elected mayor of the town during the May,2013 polls.

Since July 18, Mayor Conrado Nicart III did not leave his office, located at the second floor of the municipal hall, show-ing his defiance to the order issued by Judge Juliana White for him to vacate the post in favor of Virginia Acol.

I will not give up my seat as I strongly believe that I was the real winner and I was duly proclaimed by the Comelec, Nicart said, adding that stepping down would do injustice to the people of his town who put him into office.

He said he would fight his post by filing an appeal before the Commission on Elections and even up to the Supreme Court.

Nicart, however, said that he would only step down and leave his office if there is already a final order and a directive from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

The political impasse at the said town, 230 kilometers from the regional Tacloban City, started when White, presid-ing judge of the Regional Trial Court Branch 5 based in Oras, also in Eastern Samar, issued a ruling on June 30 directing Nicart to step down in favor of Acol.

Acol filed a petition before the court to conduct a recount of the votes of which the court ruled in her favor.

Based on the recount of the votes involving 18 clustered precincts, the court declared that Acol had actually garnered total votes of 3,773 against Nicarts 3,667 votes or a margin of 106 votes.

On May 14, 2013, the members of the elections board of canvassers proclaimed Nicart with winning votes of 3,945 as against Acols 3,857 votes or just a difference of 88 votes.

Nicart, who is serving on his third and last term as may-or, ran under the banner of Liberal Party and son of Eastern Samar Governor Conrado Nicart, Jr. Acol, a businesswoman,

DA: More than P300 million worth of crops lost in EV due to Glenda

- Typhoon Glenda left trail of destruction to crops in Eastern Visayas that will cost farmers some P327.56 million in losses.

Department of Agriculture(DA) Regional Executive Director for Eastern Visayas Berna-dette San Juan said that for rice alone, 17,093 hectares were destroyed, resulting to a 19,175 metric tons reduction in rice output. The total values of losses for rice reached P325.98 million.

The impact of the recent typhoon is only minimal. The project loss accounts 1.87% of the target production for the year, but we are pre-paring interventions to assist 15,028 affected farmers, San Juan told Leyte Samar Daily Ex-press.

per hectare and a bag of fertilizer for totally destroyed rice farms and half bag of seeds for partially damaged farms.

Some of the planted areas can still recov-er. Once the water drains in less than 2 weeks, it will survive, San Juan added.

Biliran, the province with the highest self-sufficiency is the most badly hit area, suf-fering a projected production loss of 13.50%.

For corn, the DA reported a P1.58 million damages due to lost harvest of 124 metric tons planted in 421 hectares.

NEWS2 Easter Samar Bulletin July 20-26, 2014

- The Regional Development Council (RDC) recently endorsed some P8.40 billion worth of infrastructure projects in Eastern Visayas as part of the post-Yolanda rehabil-itation and recovery plan.

Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Regional Director Rolando Asis, head of the RDCs infrastructure committee, said the amount represent the un-funded projects of 15 national government agencies.

The region needs P23.85 billion to rebuild infrastructures damaged during the mas-sive typhoon. About P15.45 billion have been funded so far by the government as of June.

The amount will cover the rebuilding of agricultural and environmental facilities, administrative buildings and public facilities. Reconstruction of public infrastructure is badly needed to fully prop up the local economy, Asis said.

Of the total funding needs, the Department of Education has the highest require-ment with P2.29 billion for repair of schools; Department of Transportation and Com-munication, P1.37 billion for airports and seaports rehabilitation; DPWH, P1.66 billion for national roads and bridges; Department of Agriculture, P1.02 billion for farm-to-market roads and other farm support infrastructures.

Meantime, the Department of Energy needs P864.17 million for full power resto-ration; Department of Labor and Employment, P503.38 million for repair of offices and livelihood support infrastructure; Commission on Higher Education, P92.78 million for reconstruction of damaged state universities and colleges.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources with P86.98 million for re-pair of nurseries; Department of Science and Technology P74.70 million for repair of weather monitoring facilities; and Technical Education and Skills Development Au-thority with P60.40 million for rebuilding of vocational schools.

Department of Trade and Industry with P35 million for repair of its office; Depart-ment of Finance with P22 million for repair of office, and National Telecommunica-tions Commission with P1.77 million for repair of facilities.

Respective agencies are now waiting for funding to start the project. It will be for-warded by their central office for prioritization in the reconstruction activities. Funds are ready for these projects. We are just waiting for the allotment, Asis added.

Since the enactment of a law penalizing child por-nography in the country five years ago, the Depart-ment of Social Welfare and Development(DSWD) here in the region was able to file eight cases with foreign na-tionals as the perpetrators.

This was revealed by social worker Ofelia Pagay, head of the community based services unit of the DSWD-8 in a gathering on July 23 among social work-ers and other government officials on child protection.

Pagay said that since Re-

Eight foreigners accused of child pornography law in the region

public Act 9775, otherwise known as the Child Por-nography Act, was enacted in 2009, eight cases have been filed by the DSWD against perpetrators who were mostly foreigners.

Child pornography as defined under the law is an act defining the crime of child pornography, pre-scribing penalties therefor and for other purposes, this is to protect children from all forms of sexual exploita-tion and sexual abuse.

It was revealed by Pagay that in terms of the custody of children victims of child

pornography, two are now with the residential care while five are now with the Tacloban womens center while others are with their parents.

Pagay was glad that last July 21 and 22 almost 80 social workers and govern-ment agencies focal persons on children heeded to their call to attend the orienta-tion for the familiarization of RA 9775 for these people would be their partners in DSWD in handling cases in the implementation of this law.

- Interior and Local Gov-ernment Secretary Mar Rox-as lauded local officials who worked round the clock in leading their constituents to safer grounds before the on-slaught of typhoon Glenda, saying their efforts were re-sponsible for low casualty rate during the calamity.

Binabati ko ang mga lokal na opisyal sa kanilang maagap na pagtugon sa panawagan ng ating pamahalaan na maging handa laban sa ano mang uri ng kalamidad. Ang mababang bilang ng casualty ay isang in-dikasyon na tayo ay unti unti nang nagiging handa, said Roxas, who is vice chairman

Roxas commends disaster-ready LGUS, calls on mayors to build

better, safer communitiesfor preparedness of the Na-tional Disaster Risk Reduc-tion and Management Council (NDRRMC) said.

At the same time, Roxas expressed sympathy to fam-ilies and friends of the fatal-ities who according to latest NDRRMC count has reached 51.

Ako po ay nakikiramay sa mga kababayan natin na nawalan ng mahal sa buhay at patuloy po tayo na nanawa-gan sa ating local government units na kumilos para hindi lang paigtingin ang kanilang mga disaster risk reduction plans kundi para gawing mas maayos at mas ligtas ang mga

komunidad na kanilang na-sasakupan, the DILG chief said.

Roxas said that one death is one too many and local government units (LGUs) should work harder to achieve the zero casual-ty target of the NDRRMC, of which local DRRMCs are part of.

He cited as an example the provincial government of Albay which again achieved zero casualty owing to its effective disaster risk reduc-tion and management plan that was put into place by the local officials and the people in so-called disaster-prone areas.

The disaster-readiness of Albay and other LGUs in the Bicol area, he said, is some-thing worth emulating.

Recently, Roxas dis-tributed to members of the League of Municipality of the Philippines Luzon Cluster the LGU Disaster Preparedness Journal - A Checklist of Minimum Ac-tions for Mayors prepared by the DILG to serve as guide to local chief executives to help them prepare against the im-pact of climate change-trig-gered natural calamities.

According to Roxas, LGUs are mandated by Re-public Act 10121 or the Phil-ippine Disaster Risk Reduc-tion and Management Act of 2010 as first responder to ensure the safety and re-siliency of communities in facing the challenges of di-sasters.

The Checklist of Min-imum Actions for Mayors calls for the creation

of the local disaster risk reduction management structures and systems to be mobilized before, during and after natural calamities; institutionalize policies and plans; enhance competen-cy of the structures through various trainings; and com-pliment the competency by purchasing and preparing the needed hardware and supplies.

Acol, on her petition be-fore the court, claimed that the election on their town was marred, among others, by fraud as the results were not

reflective of the actual vote cast due to irregularities and errors which attended during the counting and canvassing of votes and that ballots contain-ing her name were reportedly rejected by the PCOS (pre-cinct count optical scan) ma-chines but when counted man-ually, were valid on her favor.

Borrowers with current or up-to-date accounts; whose deeds of conditional sale were cancelled but not yet sold; and whose accounts are under foreclosure proceedings may apply for the program.

The program is also open to buyers of rights and heirs of de-ceased borrowers subject to eligibility criteria.

Under the program, GSIS will condone unpaid penalties and surcharges and grant extended payment terms for qualified bor-rowers who opt to restructure their housing loans.

Discounts will be given to applicants who intend to pay their outstanding obligations in full. Those with arrears of up to six months will get 100% discount on unpaid interest, penalties and surcharges while those with arrears beyond six months will re-ceive discounts based on their payment history.

GSIS has also made it convenient for them to pay their obli-gations by spreading the payments over a longer period at lower monthly amortizations for those who are qualified.

By restructuring, qualified applicants may save their houses from being sold to other buyers.

GSIS is enforcing a by-appointment-only policy to ensure ap-plicants are properly attended to when they visit and avoid un-necessary waste of their time.

Metro Manila applicants may call telephone numbers 479-3548, 479-3583 and 479-3587 to set an appointment. Applicants based in provincial offices, may call the GSISs contact center at 847-4747. (PR)

eople call the tussle a whimsi-cal blackmail, others retaliation while some others sheer lever-age. If by the strike of the pen of the supreme magistrates of

the Republic of the Philippines, the fatty pork barrel called Priority Development Assistance Fund (erstwhile Countrywide Development Fund or CDF) and recently Disbursement Acceleration Program fund were adjudged to be unlawful, the exec-utive branch avenges with angst to take control of the funds of the judiciary, com-mencing with the Judiciary Development Fund.

With the Supreme Court finding both the PDAF and DAP as unconstitutional, it is deemed imperative upon the executive branch to refrain from utilizing funds which are earmarked for purpose other than the which the funds are actually spent. By op-eration of law, Malacaang, through the President, should cease to resort to this specially designated fund to advance its pursuits. Not to pre-empt the High Tri-bunals action to whatever legal remedy Malacaang is taking, the executive branch could rather take a modest stance so as not to create divisiveness among the Fili-pino race.

Who gets a better mooring between the judiciary and the executive branch with the Constitution as the fundamental law of the land? Malacaang banks on the Admin-istrative Code to rationalize the release of funds from other sources for which they are intended, or easily, transferred funds. The Administrative Code provision, though yet unquestioned, is boldly inferior to the Philippine Constitution.

Besides the fact that the judiciary is a co-equal branch of the government along with the executive and the legisla-tive branches, the basic principle of sepa-ration of powers and the principle of check and balance should at all times be hon-

Leverageored, with setting aside the dictates of the Constitution. The independence and fiscal autonomy of the judiciary deserves prime respect. The Judiciary Development Fund, which is an offspring of a executive edict and never been questioned until after the PDAF and the DAP were ruled as unconsti-tutional, aptly belongs to the judiciary as the only means by which its measly share of less than 1% in the entire General Ap-propriations Act could be augmented. It aptly belongs to the Supreme Court for dis-posable and should not be held under the control of any other branch of the govern-ment.

What specific law is there that autho-rizes the executive branch to augment any item in the GAA for their respective offic-es from savings in other items of their re-spective appropriations? The Constitution states, No law shall be passed authorizing any transfer of appropriations. In the first instance, how could there be savings if all of these monies as appropriated under the GAA are used for how their purpose uncor-rupted. Further the Constitution provides, No money shall be paid out of the Trea-sury except in pursuance of an appropria-tion made by law. Now, there are moves to abrogate the JDF or if not all proceeds thereof be transferred from the Supreme Court to the Bureau of Treasury.

The public having known the practice of transferring any income from the vault of the agency or instrumentality of the gov-ernment to the national treasury and re-align them by way of DAP, could the Su-preme Court be assured that it will get a share even a centavo of the JDF that will be transferred to the national government? Will the executive branch provide the third co-equal but least favored branch of gov-ernment such hefty some as senators and congressmen enjoy when priority bills are to be passed? God-forbid the worst scenar-io, a supreme court that is wooed by DAP for a decision in favor of the powers that be.

TO be very realistic in life, we have to be ready and eager to become a sac-rificial lamb. This is not bad news. This is Good News. Let me explain.

Our problem is that, unfortunately, the expres-sion, sacrificial lamb, has suffered a great diminu-tion of appreciation in the world today. It is simply considered in the context of practical advantages and disadvantages of a given sit-uation.

Obviously, with that frame of mind and only and exclusively with that attitude without any other higher consideration, no one would like to be a sac-rificial lamb. Even the com-monest of common sense would be averse to that idea. Everyone would like to flee from that predica-ment as much as possible.

But the phenomenon of sacrificial lamb actually has a very wonderful signifi-cance. Our Christian faith tells us that given who and what we are, we have been taught right from the be-ginning of humanity, that we need to offer a sacrifice as a way of expressing and affirming the truth that we come from God and we also belong to him.

God, our Father and Creator, has been the one who teaches us about this duty. He has also equipped us in our nature so that we can comply with this duty that only shows the inti-mate relation we have with God. In short, God, who is love, has been teaching us, who

are his image and like-ness, how to love.

This whole business of

Prepare to be a sacrificial lambP

offering sacrifices is actu-ally the language of love. It acts out the dynamics of love which is that of mutu-al self-giving between the lover and the beloved. Each party becomes both lov-er and beloved in the ideal state of love.

In the beginning, the sacrifice was made by of-fering things. This started, when man was still in the state of original justice, as something easy and spon-taneous to do. But with the entry of sin, this offering of sacrifice became more and more difficult and compli-cated to do.

In spite of sin, God con-tinued in the flow of time to tutor humanity about this duty of making sacrifices. This process of divine tu-telage passed through tu-multuous route given mans wounded condition. All sorts of resistance and re-jection, distortion and con-fusion, tended to empty the meaning of sacrifice.

But God persisted by sending us his only Son who became the perfect and ultimate sacrifice, the true sacrificial lamb, who out of completely gratuitous love, and without deserving to suffer in any way, assumed all our sin, died to them and offered us a way to recon-cile ourselves with God in a perfect way.

It was John the Baptist who pointed out Jesus to us, calling him the Lamb of God. Behold, the lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. (Jn 1,29) Christ is the one who bore all the sins of man, showing us the way of

The Tacloban police chief theorized that the two just happened to met at the scene of the crime.

I think they were here to conduct surveillance, but they did not inform us about their activity, Cabillan said.

The police have yet to establish the motive of Lopi-dos killing.

Cabillan claimed that the case is isolated and the ty-phoon-ravaged city is generally peaceful despite of the latest incident. (SARWELL Q.MENIANO).

perfect love.We have to understand

from all this that the life and death of Christ, especially the supreme sacrifice of his life on the cross, should be the model and motive of our life and death as well.

This is when the worst thing that can happen to us, that is, to be in sin, alienat-ed from God, can turn into the best thing for us as well, as long as we know how to unite ourselves with Christ.

That is why we have to learn to make sacrifice, first of all, because, it is the most natural thing for us to do considering who and what we are in relation to God. Then, we have to make a sacrifice because we have to make up for our sins and mistakes. And ultimately we have to make sacrifice because we have to follow the example of Christ all the way.

That is why, if for some reason or another we find ourselves in situations and predicaments that make us feel like sacrifi-cial lambs, that is, made to suffer though we feel we dont seem to deserve it, we should actually feel happy and privileged, because in that way, we are being con-formed to Christ in his best act of love in a most inti-mate manner.

It is good, therefore, that we condition ourselves to aim at being sacrificial lambs. We ought to wel-come every opportunity to be so and somehow be happy with it. The saints and holy men and women through the ages have al-ways felt that way.

Thus if we suffer some extraordinary difficult problems and conditions, we should never fail to see the great blessing we are ac-tually receiving.
