KYLE’S FOOD HAUS

MAASIN CITY – They came from all walks of life; the lame and crip-pled, the sick and the hypochondriacs, the true believers and agnos-tics, the benevolent and the self-centered to hear and be touched by the world renowned Filipino “miracle priest” Father Fernando Suarez. His healing masses at the Santo Nino de Ibarra Church and healing ses-sions at the Maasin City and Provincial Gymnasi-um were jam packed and Suarez, who now enjoys rock star status here and abroad did not disappoint them - for there were immediate reports of “actual” healings by those he had touched. Father Suarez was born in the province of Ba-tangas in 1967. After obtaining his Chemical Engineering degree in 1995, he went to Win-nipeg, Canada where he attained his priesthood in 2002. He then joined the Companions of the Cross, a religious com-munity of priests, found-ed by Reverend Robert Bedard. In 2006 alone he prayed over half a million

people, and according to his followers, thousands had been healed and tes-timonies continued to roll in about God’s healing powers. When he was 16 he said he felt God was us-ing him to reach people who were sick and in need. He noticed that

those he ministered to who had faith in Jesus Christ were the ones that were healed. “I found the healing touch of Jesus through my hands,” he told his father superiors, who doubted him at first, but after hearing the testimo-nies of the people he had

cured they now believe his healing power is au-thentic. In July 2006 father Suarez joined the Mary Mother of the Poor Foun-dation which helps poor people in the Philippines and other countries. All the MMPF’s ear-nongs from Father Su-

arez’s healing minis-try are invested in the foundation’s projects. The MMP foundation today has a daily feed-ing program for over 2000 poor students and hosts medical missions and builds homes and school rooms for needy families in the Philip-

pines and in North, Central, and South America. (By ANTHONY KINGS)

MAASIN CITY – Presi-dent Gloria Macapagal Arroyo cancelled her visit to Southern Leyte last week where she was the guest of honor on the province’s 49th founding anniversary. According to Malacañang the president who had ar-rived from her state visits to Brazil, Japan, Columbia and Hong Kong decided to voluntarily quarantine herself at the Asian Medi-cal Center to set the ex-

ample for her countrymen and thereby prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu virus that has infected over 1,800 Filipinos - the high-est in Southeast Asia. Congressman Roger Mercado said Education Secretary Jesli Lapus his for-mer colleague in Congress would take the President’s place. Arroyo was supposed to lead the ground breaking ceremony of the new pro-

vincial hospital in Baran-gay Dongon a farming community 8 kilometers from Maasin City. Provincial general services personnel who were hurriedly hanging streamers welcoming the president and pre-paring the hospital site in Dongon village ex-pressed an odd mixture of disappointment and relief over the presi-

dent’s decision. Some were disappointed because they would not get to see the president in person, while others were relieved since they could now enjoy the anniversary program at the Sunken garden. Scientists from the US Center for Disease Control claim the mystery flu virus was first discovered in Spain in 1918. But since it had evolved during the years, no

SOUTHERN LEYTE— Although there has been a significant increase in the number of tourist resorts in the province, many of its owners claim they need local government and national support to at-tract more clients. To correct this situation, DTI Pro-vincial Director Michael Nunez is coordinating with the German based GTZed, and local governments here to prepare an investment incentive plan to attract more tourists to these resorts. But even this effort, resort owners say, won’t be enough to attract the clients they need to fourish. Nuñez cited the Kuting Health Resort and Spa in Macrohon, the Southern Leyte Divers Resort and Peter’s Dive Resort in Padre Burgos and the seaside hotels in Hinunangan which cater mostly to for-eign eco-tourists and balikbayans but are relatively unknown to people from other provinces in the country. We have excellent hotels and restau-rants in the city like Hotel Romana, Coun-try Lodge and Kinamot Restaurant whose cuisine compare with those of Manila, yet few outside know about them so they have to rely on the local clientele. According to an officer of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Southern Leyte (who requested anonymity) the private sector can only do so much, and need the support of local and national

exorbitant bus fares

Why are buses plying the Maasin Silago route still charging the same fare even though the price of fuel was rolled-down three months ago? Is there any way Public Officials can reduce these fares? it’s so unfair. a Concerned Passenger email: jescalera83@yahoo.com

agencies to make money He added that there wasn’t even a road map of the sce-nic spots in Maasin so most visitors and even local residents don’t know how to reach them. Nunez said aqua-tourism in Southern Leyte has attracted scuba divers from all over the world. But most of its regular clients keep this information to them-selves because they are afraid the dive sites would soon be overcrowded and no longer fun to dive in. Dive sites located in Limasawa, Padre Burgos and the towns along Sogod Bay and Napantao in San Francisco and the beautiful twin islands of San Pedro and San Pablo in Hinunangan and the whale sharks and giant Manta Rays of Pintuyan and Limasawa are tourist attractions (but again) who knows they even exist he lamented. Other tourist facilities worth visiting are the Padre Burgos Castle in Tangkaan and Jammie’s Hotel in Maasin City which are excellent places to dine and stay in - but who would know about them if they are not marketed? Nuñez added that more tourist spots were waiting to be tapped like the 2,000 hectare rain for-est in Silago which is the nearest town to the Tacloban City. airport.

Close Schools TillCrisis Passes

editorial

I’ve never voted for Sen-ator Gordon because I’ve always felt that inside him was an American trying to get out. But once in a while he has a brainstorm and yesterday he showed sparks of one when he told news-men that primary schools should be closed till the flu pandemic had passed. Although he did not elaborate, what we hope he meant was that students wouldn’t really miss much, since our public elementary schools were perennially in crisis. A quarter of our primary school children suffer from chronic hunger, and many of our 24 million school kids are crammed into a system that still uses error-studded textbooks that does everything but educate. Poor English has zapped

the government’s plan to capture 10 percent of the world market in outsourc-ing, while 9 out of 10 of our otherwise qualified job ap-plicants have flunked because their English wasn’t good enough. Once the Philippines had more English speakers than all but two countries, but three decades later the proficiency of those who could speak English had eroded the country’s big-gest advantage in the global economy. Indeed, the Swiss busi-ness school which publishes the World Competitiveness Year Book in its latest re-port claims the Philippines is now wedged into slot 43 out of 57 countries stud-ied. Our pathetic situation is depicted in the latest joke

at diplomatic receptions of a fictional story about the Japanese Prime Minister who was being given a crash course in English before meeting US President Ba-rack Obama. “When you shake hands with President Obama, please say, ‘How R U,’ the trainer said. Mr. Obama will then reply: ‘I am fine, and you?’ You should then answer: ‘Me too.’ Afterwards you need not worry for your translator will do the rest. When the prime Minis-ter finally met Obama, he nervously stuttered: ‘Who Are You,’ and Obama with humor answered: ‘Well I’m Michele Obama’s husband, ha-ha-ha.” And the Prime Minister answered, “Me too, ha-ha-ha.” But it’s no joking mat-ter that our teachers have been flunking English for years reports the Econo-mist Magazine. In fact, it claimed that in 2004 one in five of our teachers failed the DepEd’s English Pro-ficiency Test. Let’s face it; the only ones who will suffer if we closed our primary schools during the flu pandemic are the DepEd officials who

Why GSIS Can’t Pay Its Members

Here’s bad news for GSIS members who are nearing retirement and looking forward to enjoying their retirement benefits from the beleaguered insurance company. According to its president Winston Garcia the GSIS is reeling from the unpaid debts of over 30 percent of the country’s 8,000 local governments and other government agencies which now amounts to 30 billion pesos. He said these debts have accumulated over the past 15 years and this was why some GSIS members would not receive their benefits when they retired. If this is the GSIS’s financial situation, why did its board of directors approve the multi-million peso retirement benefit package for its assistant vice presidents and other senior officers?

Kiddie Slide Slasher

Last week my grandson Brandon had an up close and personal encounter with the provincial kiddie park slaherr. We are referring to the children’s slide there whose top safety railings is now crusted with rust and is razor sharp. Many kids have had their hands lacerated by its jagged edges and we are hoping someone at the Provincial Disaster Management Center could do something about it – even though it has not yet reached “disaster coordinating” level.

Eva

I ran into former Vice Governor Eva Tomol at the Mercury Drug store re-cently and was happy to note that she had gained weight and was looking radiant. Naturally I asked her if she had any political plans for the future. She said she had none and was happy practicing law (and making money for a change) and lecturing at the CM Law Center In this particular case; the public sector’s loss has actually been the private sector’s gain.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)- Bagay ang pakikisalamuhang sosyal. Huwag paalpasin kung may paanyayang matatangap. May pagkakataong makatagpo ang soulmate o twin flame. Kung isang leo o kapwa Gemini ang makikilala ay hahantong sa pang-matagalang relasyon.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)- Ang pagkakaisa sa tahanan maging sa mga pagkakataon. Ang hindi pagkakaunawaan ay madaling mahanapan ng solusyon dahil magiging malambing at kabigha-bighani ang pagkatao. Panahon na upang humingi ng tawad kung may pagkakasala at magpatawad kung may nagkasala sa iyo.

LEO (July 23-Aug.22)- Huwag ipagwalang-bahala ang responsibilidad na nakaatang sa balikat. Harapin nang buong tatag at panagutan ang desisyong ginawa maging ito ay tama o mali. Pag-isipan at maging mahinahon sa ginagawa o gagawin nang maiwasan ang pagkakamali.

VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.23)- Iwasang mag-init ang ulo at maging mahinahon dahil iiral may bagay o pangyayari na hindi magugustuhan o sasang-ayunan. Iwasan ang magbiro at mangantiyaw ng tao para makaiwas sa gulo. Libangin ang sarili sa pama-masyal o pagbabasa.

LIBRA (Sept.24-Oct.23)- Huwag mag-init ang ulo o maging emosyonal dahil sa puputaktihin ka ng trabaho o biro. Ngayon magpakita ng kaalaman at kahusayan na paghahangaan ng mga kasamahan o boss. Matiwasay na magagampanan ang tungkulin kung iiwasang makipaghuntahan o tamarin.

SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22)- Kailangan ang mahigpit na disiplina sa sarili dahil ma-giging mainit ka sa pag-ibig. Pag- aralan at pag-isipang mabuti ang mga bagay-bagay bago magdesisyon. Huwag magpadalus-dalos. Posibleng makatanggap ng balita na ikaliligaya o ikalulungkot.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21)- Magiging masuwerte sa anumang uri ng negosyo kung makapagsisimula ngayon. Malakas at malaki ang kikitain kung isang freecan-cer. Kung ano ang suwerte sa negosyo ay kabaligtaran naman ang mangyayari sa pag-ibig.

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19)- Kahit masakit sa kalooban, mapaglalabanan ang sarili sa gustong bilhin dahil sa kakapusan ng pera. Kakapusan ng pera. Kakapusan ng pera ang suliranin subalit kung pagsisikapan ay matutugunan. Unahin ang kailangan ng tahanan bago ang sarili.

AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.18)- Iwasan ang hindi inaasahang panauhin dahil may dalang tsismis na makapagpapainit sa ulo o may kailangang bagay na hindi kayang paunlakan o ibigay. Ang paglilinis sa kapaligiran sa tahanan o sa pinapasukan ay magbibigay ng kaligayahan.

PISCES (Feb.19-Mar.20)- Magpakahinahon, timbangin at pag-isipang mabuti bago magsalita o humatol upang maiwasang magkamali at makasakit ng damdamin ng kapwa. Isang matalik na kaibigan ang hihingi ng payo tungkol sa suliranin na dapat tanggihan nang malayo sa gulo.

ARIES (Mar.21-Apr.19)- May gantimpalang nakalaan sa pagbibigay ng abuloy o tu-long sa tamang tao na mapagbibigyan. Ang serbisyong sibiko ay magiging pangunahin sa isipan. Ang gustong gawin kung paglalaanan ng panahon ay maisasakatuparan. Magiging masuwerte kung kikilos at gagawin kaagad ang binabalak.

TAURUS (Apr.20-May.20)- Ang gawain na hindi nagawa ay may paraan na matatapos ngayon. Malakas ang magneto ng pakikipagsapalaran subalit ang masusing pag-aaral bago pumalaot ay kailangan upang hindi magsisi. Ang panahon ng pagrerelax ay nababagay upang makapag-isip ng tamang solusyon sa problema.

According to Lydia Fustanes, the wife of Bontoc Mayor Pedro Fustanes, the Bato to Bontoc Road in Southern Leyte was hardly passable during the storm because of landslides. District Engineer Carlos Veloso ordered maintenance crew to work overtime to clear the vital roadway. Fallen trees and rocks also made it hard to pass the Catbalogan North Road and Samar-Leyte Roads. According to Pagasa reports Typhoon Feria which had entered the country’s area of responsibility through the Visayas had affected 172 barangays in the Visayas and over 53000 people living there.
