Media practitioners do not
miss every year a chance to
gather to celebrate Yuletide

Patio Victoria and was
sponsored by City Mayor
Alfred Romualdez and
wife Councilor Cristina
Romualdez, who made a
promise last year to sponsor
the gathering of the media.
In his speech, Mayor
Romualdez reiterated his
earlier pronouncement
during the awarding of the

of Tacloban, that media
practitioners are his best
friends.
This is one occassion
that we can gather and put

Christmas, according
to the mayor, had made
him and other people from

mingle with each other and
set aside politics and even
personal indifferences.

Lessons to be had after the supposed world-end
Many people and families
have been carried away by the
supposed end of the world
theories that some in the United
States and other afuent places in
the world have gone to the extent
of preparing for earth-shattering
disasters, the magnitude of which
have pushed these families to
spend thousands of dollars to
stash away food that would last
for a year or two; bunkers that
would house families in case of
nuclear war, volcanic eruptions,
biological warfare, aggression
from outer space and other un-
likely events.
he Leyte Samar Daily Express has gone a
long way, evolving into a daily newspaper
from a weekly publication. As the only daily
Senses and
Sensibilities
deeday a. cairo
circulating newspaper in Region 8, it has started as
a weekly paper for 12 years. Commitment to excel-
lence and public service has pushed it to face thechallenge to increase circulation. Its persistence
and sensitivity to public needs have opened more
avenues and opportunities to embark on a daily
publication. On its 25th year, it has slowly meta-
morphosed into what it is now a reliable com-
panion during early morning coffee breaks where
the freshest news are known and gathered. True to
form, the paper has remained steadfast in its motto
that is anchored on positive, fair and free reporting
of news and events and fearless views on issues and
topics affecting the region and country.
The need to suit the interest of the public and to
realize their expectations has relentlessly pushed its
publisher to be abreast with the times. Taking
into consideration its readers who have been
used to getting the current events in the region
and in the country has pushed the management
to be on top of competition among publications
in the region. The recent acquisition of a digi-
tal printing press is just one of its responses to
the continued demand to be number one in the
region. It has greatly improved the paper in its
presentation, production and appearance.
Leyte Samar Daily Express is the only daily
newspaper that is serving Leyte, Samar and
Biliran since the late 80s when it was just a
weekly newspaper. Today, LSDE is 25 years
old, still pushing for more years of relentless
service to the region and its people. As a leader
in the industry, it will continue to delve on re-
search, development, news hunting and fear-
For many Filipinos who
have philosophical views
at such events, it is easy to
just shrug off such eventu-
alities. After all, the aver-
a e Fili ino famil would
rather spend on essentials
than spend on such prepa-
rations. Partly, we account
this on our fatalistic or ac-
cepting attitude. Most are
too impoverished to be able
to spend on preparations.
Also, we are a nation of
believers in the divine. We
know deep in our hearts that
with just a eck of the n-
gers, God could smite eve-
rything away that physical
preparations are just use-
less. No bunker, no weaponand no fortress could stop
Gods wrath if it happens.
Rather, we believe in the
power of prayer, of spiritual
preparations rather than the
physical one. We easily
accept the adage that if it

THE CANTICLE OF MARY
Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spiritrejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaids lowli-ness, Behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.
The Mighty One has done great things for me, And holy is his name.His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown
might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He hasthrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The
hungry he has lled with good things; The rich he has sent away empty.He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according tohis promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.
Mary remained with her about three months and returned to herhome.
EMBEZZLING GRACE
As Ray knelt in his pew after communion, he reected on his bless-ings. He had been, essentially, a cheater. He had spent his whole lifecheating. He remembered being a kid in school and the many ways hetried to beat the system: copying homework, plagiarizing, buying re-ports, cribbing on tests. He cheated on his bar exam, cheated on hisclients, cheated on his wife. And then he got caught and it all came apart.He went too far on a real state deal and one day the phone rang and thatwas the beginning of the end. He was convicted of embezzling, servetime in jail, was disbarred, lost his practice, lost his wife and family, losteverything. He turned back to God, and the Lord was there for him. Godforgave him and restored him, healing his guilt and giving him a newstart. Ray wept in thanksgiving when he thought of everything God haddone for him. Prayer: You have healed me in many ways, Lord, and I
give you thanks. I thank you, too, for the guidance that always leads meback to the right path when I go astr ay. Keep me always in the way thatleads to you. Action: Look up and read the parables of the lost sheepand the lost coin Luke 15:1-10. think about how God delights in savingyou. (Between Sundays by Paul Boudreau, published by Paulines.

LSDE goes silver
The Leyte Samar Daily
Express celebrates its 25th
anniversary this year, mark-
ing an important milestone
for the Group, as it also es-
tablishes its digital version
with a view towards pro-
moting its corporate brandand service offering on the
international plane.
The Groups inception
came about in 1987 when
Massey Gral, now Chair-
man, founded LSDE Group
after 25 years of non-ex-
perience in the business.
Of course, except for the
ever hard-working Alma,
who never knew that her
dedication with Leyte Fo-
rum would pay off. Her
experience in running the
newspaper business is un-
contestable, and led me tobelieve that the information
gap in the region was where
LSDEs future lay.
The Group commenced
its operations from a two-
roomed ofce in Zamora
From a simple blank ink
broadsheet that was like
other weekly tabloids circu-
lating those days in Eastern
Visayas, the Leyte Samar
(then Weekly and now Dai-
ly) Express shared the samepursuit - to provide relevant
news and fearless views to
the public and sustain life
within limited source of
revenue, such as business
advertisers, government
institutions and private in-
dividuals. Twelve years
less views so that these
are brought right at the
breakfast table of every
Taclobanon and every
family in the region. As
a non-partisan paper,
its goal is to cater to
the needs and demands
of people regardless of
color, party and persua-
sion. It has remained
positive, fair and free in
its efforts to carry out its
goal.
To the publisher, its
staff and writers, it is
hoped that you con-
tinue to be the rst and
to lead the region in na-
tion-building through
the relentless pursuit of
positive, fair and free
treatment of events,
news and issues.Congratulations to
everyone.
is our end, then we cannot
prevent it from happening
but to accept it as fate for
all.
Mans consciousness
has become divided be-
tween technical and ir-
rational. A part dictates
the need to look at things
scientically; another part
insists on looking at them
instinctively. Through the
confusion, we are unable to
use the part that had been
reserved by the divine,
looking at things, events
and essences in the mysti-
cal way; a higher form of
intelligence.
The Earth has slowly
changed, not because God
has willed it to change but
because man has abusedlife, the earth and nature.
Mother Earth has under-
gone massive change with
the advancement of tech-
nology the same will lead
man to his perdition and
annihilation on the face of
the Earth. The gadget he
has made that makes his
life easier, enjoyable and
his work faster has brought
many negative results and
bad consequences than
good ones. The many things
that make his life better andmore comfortable are actu-
ally the ones that have has-
tened his end. Mans greed
to have more and more
leading him to engage in
illegal logging and mining,
have resulted to the soften-
ing of the earth that during
rainy days, his abode is eas-
ily washed away. The food
that is supposed to nourish
and strengthen him is the
ones that bring him diseases
and ailments.
The world will not ac-tually end as we see it.
But our life will end as it
should. In our quest to nd
the fountain of youth, we
have resorted to killing life
utilizing fetuses to make
specialty and novel foods;
the placentas as beauty
products. Life has become
cheap; people have less re-
spect for it.
Governments have their
own ways and means of
competing Natures way of
population control. They
cannot wait for natural
death, most governments
push for the fast way of
de-populating the world
through the various meth-
ods they press on. They go
for the complicated insist-
ing on divorces, euthana-
Lessons...from page 4
sia, same sex marriages and
other unnatural ways creat-
ing irrationality in societies.
Worse, people have aver-
sion for poverty; the poor
are easy targets for experi-
ments as Guinea Pigs.
We fear for the end
of the world? We cannot
blame it on the environment
for in the fastness of our
lifes journey now, we only
have ourselves to blame.
Where before, walking was
enjoyed; today, most would
rather run even if they
know that at the end they
will drop dead.
We are only temporary
stewards of life; we got no
right to quell it. Unless we
return to the time when life
was a simple joy of living
and loving, man will never
be able to subdue the Earth.
Street, providing news cor-
respondents the venue for
exchange of news. Hav-
ing gained a wealth of
commercial experience
throughout their previous
business involvements,
Alma and Massey conse-quently ventured into pro-
viding an array of news
promoting, supporting and
protecting news writers of
the region, this time in a
spacious ofce of four big
rooms complete with high
end ofce equipments.
Largely through a hands-
on approach at every level
of activity, and with his
disarming public relations
acumen and charm, Mas-
sey eventually led LSDE to
develop a wider vision for
the Group, namely to digi-tize and elevate LSDE to a
higher platform.
From the bottom of our
hearts:
Dear Editor,
Congratulations to
LSDE publishers on their
25th anniversary today, Sat-
urday, December 22, 2012.
Many thanks to Massey
and Alma, shareholders,
editors, pressmen and past
and present staff.
The founders, Mr. and
Mrs. Gral, Loly Iside-
rio, Alvin Arpon, have pro-
vided employment for so
many. Keeping a newspa-
per on the road for 25 years
is quite a feat.
I take this opportunity to
wish LSDE all the best and
as my late dad always say
about survival, Keep the
ship aoat. Once again
congratulations.Yours faithfully,
Filamor Family
As LSDE looks forward
to the future, what are its
plans?
With a quarter of a cen-
tury of history and social
responsibility, the Group is
global in scope. My sisters
around the world can read
me. Thanks to LSDE, with
a current staff complement
of more than 30 including
correspondents and virtual
employees like me, it is en-
visaged that 2013 will leadto an increased headcount
as the Group digitizes and
perhaps relocates and ex-
pands and continues its
dominance in the region.
from initial release, the
Leyte-Samar Weekly Ex-
press grew steadfastly into
becoming the primary local
daily broadsheet in Eastern
Visayas to be later known
as what is now Leyte SamarDaily Express.
LSDE is a package of
hard work, wisdom, dedi-
cation and infallible sense
of focus. Irrefutably a suc-
cess story to boast, the cel-
ebration of the silver an-
niversary of the publishing
company is a testimonial
of the age-old Filipino tru-
ism Kung may itinanim,
mayroon ding aanihin.Indeed, running a newspa-
per is not an easy-does-it
enterprise. With writers
and account executives to
pay for their efforts on top
of the printing cost, keep-
ing the books of account
in good condition demands
wise budgeting and nan-
cial prudence. Establishing
rapport with stakeholders is
another challenge to tackle
if the publication needs to
promote goodwill in the
community, especially the
clientele.Publisher Dalmacio
Massey Candido Gral,
the man on top of the LSDE
success story, ascribes the
newspapers growth to cer-
tain essential points. He

legal age, Filipino, married
to herein respondent, with
residence at Brgy. Wilson,
Mayorga, Leyte where he
may be served with notices,
orders and legal processes of
this Honorable Court; that re-
spondent is likewise of legal
age, Filipino, married to here-
in petitioner, with last known
address at Brgy. Wilson, May-
orga, Leyte where she may be
served with notices, orders
and other legal processes of
this Honorable Court;
2. That both parties have
the capacity to sue and be
sued.
3. That herein respond-
ents became pregnant while
they were still in a relation-
ship with each other; that it
is for this reason that they
entered into a contract of mar-
riage on May 13. 2000 at Viga,
Catanduanes, Philippines; that
despite this fact, petitioner
became a good husband to
herein respondent and was
never oblivious of his respon-
sibility of being the provider
of the family; a copy of their
marriage certicate is hereto
attached as Annex A and
made an integral part hereof.
4. That a year after their
rst child, Gwyneth Jasareno
Bernal, was born, herein re-
spondent labored their sec-
ond child, Ian James Jasareno
Bernal; machine copies of the
childrens live birth are heretoattached as Annexes B and
C respectively and made in-
tegral parts hereof;
5. That this prompted pe-
titioner to look for a better and
brighter opportunity abroad in
order to provide sufciently
for thr needs of his growing
family; that in as much as he
would want to see his children
grow, he chose to sacrice and
work in a place miles apart
from his family to secure their
future --- a temporary separa-
tion in exchange of a brighter
and secured future together;
that petitioner can only close
his eyes while he faces the sad
reality;
6. That their actual cohab-
itation lasted only for morethan one (1) year since herein
petitioner went to Dubai,
United Arab of Emirates on
August 11, 2001 (one month
prior to the birth of their sec-
ond child) to work as a super-
visor in the butchery depart-
ment of an enterprise; that he
worked there for more than
two (2) years and went back to
the Philippines on January 22,
2004 only; that after a month
of vacation in the country, he
went back again to Dubai to
continue his work;
7. That during his em-
ployment in Dubai, herein
petitioner has been hearing
rumors from the townspeople
in Viga, Catanduanes, which
are corroborated by their rela-
tives, that herein respondent
is having an illicit relation-
ship with petitioners rst
degree cousin, Joshua Turado-
Turirit, who was only, during
that time, 21 or 22 years old,
that said illicit affair started
just after petioner departed
for Dubai; that it was not re-
spondents rst and last act
of indelity for she also had
subsequent dishonest relation-
ships with different men the
petitioner was torn whether to
identify all of them or not for
the consequence was still the
same;
8. That being far away
and unable to go home as
much as he wanted to, herein
petitioner could do nothing
but sop up the painful truth
about his wifes indelity, that
he was as much worried about
their childrens welfare as he
also learned from their rela-
tives that respondent started
neglecting and reneging herobligations to their children;
9. That when petitioner
returned to the Philippines on
June 17, 2007, he immediately
found a way to clear things up
and thereafter conversed with
his wife for him to see point
blank the truthfulness of the
report; that to his dismay, nei-
ther did her wife conrm nor
belie the buzz; that for him,
her apathy was a conrmation
of the news; that either way,
it was then impossible for re-
spondent to deny everything
for the surrounding circum-
stances would undoubtedly
prove her indelity;
10. That to avoid the over-
whelmingly scandalous situa-
tion, petitioner, together withherein respondent and their
children, decided to transfer
to Mayorga, Leyte and start
anew; that despite everything,
he dicided to give his wife a
chance to change and to be
able to x their marriage and
family as petitioner values the
importance of a family that is
whole and instilled with great
values; that this is the very
reason why he is working hard
abroad;
11. That petitioner left
again and continue to work
abroad; that contrary to his
expectations, respondent had
not, after all, changed; instead
she continued her old doings
and engaged into another re-
lationship taking advantage
of the fact that petitioner was
nowhere near to monitor what
is happening;
12. That words came to
petitioners knowledge that
respondent eloped with her
boyfriend, who was said to be
a teacher;
13. That petitioner tried
his best, through the help of
their relatives; to locate the
whereabouts of his wife but
they failed; respondent hadnt
had any plan of showing her-
self up and explain everything
to her husband;
14. That these negative
attributes of the respondent
which borders on her indel-
ity and irresponsibility are
clear manifestations of her
being unable to perform the
essential marirtal obligations
expected of a spouse; that her
continued engagement into re-
lationships with different men
caused her to be truly incogni-
tive of the basic marital cov-enants that concurrently must
be assumed and discharged by
her to their marriage which in-
clude their mutual obligation
to live together, observe mu-
tual love, respect, delity and
render help and support;
15. That above premises
considered, the respondent is
psychologically incapacitated
to assume and perform the
essential obligations of mari-
tal life; thus, under the New
Family Code, their marriage is
practically null and void;
16. That the cause of this
incapacity of the respondent
is rooted on a psychologi-
cal disorder which is deeply
rooted from her childhood and
has been persistent until heradulthood such as a cure of the
same becomes vain; this men-
tal or psychological condition
will be medically or clinically
certied by proven experts as
grave and incurable;
17. That having been ac-
tually separated from the re-
spondent for quite a time, pe-
titioner no longer has the love
and affection for her; earnest
efforts towards a reconcilia-
tion have been made but the
same have failed; hence, for
society to compel petitioner to
live together with his wife is
tantamount to forcing him to
once again suffer the insuffer-
able, endure the unendurable
and bear the unbearable;
18. That the parties hereto
did not acquire substantial as-
sets during their brief union.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, in view
of the foregoing it is most re-
spectfully prayed of this Hon-
orable Court that a decree be
issued declaring the parties
marriage void ab initio on
the ground of psychological
incapacity on the part of the
respondent, with all the legal
consequences thereof.
Other reliefs just and eq-
uitable under the premises is
also similarly prayed for.

The effort would not be

the papers business man-
ager the brunt of the ven-
tures economic viability

Her business acumen and
personal values blend to
churn what gives perfection
to the couples endeavor. A
sincere, simple and frugalwoman, she complements
publisher Masseys public
relations prowess and re-
ligiosity, which altogether
make up what is now the
LSDE success story.
With a quite increas-
ing size of the LSDE fam-
ily, which members derive

ous circulation of the daily

ness. Trying to keep up with
the latest trends in the in-
dustry, the paper strives to
evolve to be equally com-
petitive. Iconic it is called,
LSDE now boasts of an
editorial staff that is practi-
cally among the best in the
local print news industry.
The production staff has
the loyalty and work pro-ciency that cannot be un-
dermined. But then again,
no matter how impressive
the work force is, if the
management has not what
it needs to have the heart
and mind of a just king, no
teamwork will ever bear the
good fruit.
Rev. Fr. Amadeo Alvero,
a parish vicar of Sto. Nio
Parish of Tacloban and the
Archdiocesan media co-
ordinator, has this to say:
LSDE has been true to its
aspiration to be positive,
fair and free. And it I may
add, it has been a beacon of
Good News to many people
in the region. Fr. Alvero is
also a member of Express
It At The Park, news forum
which is ably led by Mas-
sey Gral for 12 years now
since its inception. In con-
gratulating the LSDE fam-
ily for this milestone, he ex-
tends this pleasantry, More
power to LSDE! May God
continue to bless it with
people working for the bet-
terment of all.
On the occasion of the
silver anniversary of the
Leyte Samar Daily Ex-
press, Massey Gral articu-
lated his words of thanks.
I would like to express
my heartfelt gratitude to
all our readers, advertisers,editors, writers, columnists,
contributors, correspond-
ents, news boys, bureau
chiefs, for being with the
Express family for the last
25 years and counting. May
the Good Lord shower our
families more blessings,
graces and more years to
come, he said.
Indeed, this should res-
onate: Congratulations Mr
and Mrs. Massey Gral!
Your goodness transforms
into a more meaningful
feat the continued growth
of LSDE, Eastern Visayas
partner in development.
Congrats editors and staff,
you equally made this suc-
cess happen!
Finally, as this writer
would, Mr. Gral seized
this chance to greet every
one, Merry Christmas and
a Prosperous New Year to
one and all!
To God be the glory for-
ever!

CITY The Regional

(RDC) in Eastern Visayas
is pushing for uniformed
monitor ing tools for good governance of local
government units (LGUs).
The RDC executive
committee, in its recent
meeting, approved a
resolution urging the
Department of Interior
and Local Government
to harmonize all existing
g o o d g o v e r n a n c e
monitoring tools for the
LGUs.
This will respond to
the misunderstanding and
confusion on the existence
of several monitoring
systems and indicators
on good governance,

regional director of the
Department of Budget and

The recommendation
was culled out from a
A s a n R D C
secretariat, the NEDA
r e g iona l o f f i c e i s
expected to establish
a one-stop site lodged
at the RDC websitewith links to respective
agency websites to
inform stakeholders of
existing governance
monitor ing system
and get feedback for
improvement of the
systems.
T he a ge nc i e s
with good governance
monitoring systems to
make conscious effort to
improve their respective
monitoring systems by
considering feedback
coming from different
sources such as one-
stop site fora, media
and other sources, and
report these feedbacks
to their respective
central ofces
Specifically, the
system would measure
the achievement of
the good governance
targets in the 2011-
2016 Eastern Visayas
Regional DevelopmentPlan (RDP). One strategy
is the conduct of the RDP

to the laughter ofthe members of themedia.
So, I guess I will just
smile at you, Romualdez
said.
Among present during
the gathering were some
members of the media whoare not really a Romualdez
admirers.
In his rst term in ofce,
members of the media often
complained that Romualdez
could hardly be accessed
for interviews, delegating
the in te rv iews to h i s
spokerspersons.
But in an earlier interview,
Romualdez claimed that he
was medias best friend, a
claim that generated mixed
reactions from the members
of the media.
In his more than 20minutes talks with the
members of the EIATP,
Romualdez appeared to be
relax and comfortable that
he even nd it easy to poke
fun with himself and the
members present.
And at one instance, the
city mayor even said that
he would not mind being
hit by the press. When I
entered this room, I had a
feeling that you will give
me a why-he-is-here kind
of reaction. But Im glad
that you give me a warm
welcome, Romualdez said.
T h e v e n u e o f t h e
gathering, the Patio Victoria,
is owned by the Romualdez
family.
The city mayor said
that he was glad that the
present media practitioners,
coming from different andcompeting media outlets,
could still nd time to enjoy
and gather together.
Romualdez debunked
the allegations that he has
media ofcers who talks in
his behalf.
I d o n t h a v e a
spokesperson. I am the one
talking (with the people),
he said.
According to Romualdez,
he is no perfect just like the
rest but he is doing his best
in addressing the needs of
the city government and thepeople of Tacloban.
He also reminded the
media that just like other
political leaders, he has his
own loyal supporters who
are willing to defend him at
any given situation.
But in whole honesty,
I hardly talk to them, he
said, alluding that he is not
making an order from his
loyal supporters to defend
him before the media and the
public.(JOEY A. GABIETA)

NEWSLeyte Samar Daily Express
CATARMAN, Northern
Samar-Acting on the ap-
proved resolution No. 166,
series of 2012 of the Sang-
guniang Panlalawigan this
province recommending to
Gov. Paul Daza the issuance
of a preventive suspension
order to Rogelio S. Tan, mu-
nicipal mayor of Pambujan,
Gov. Daza has ordered on
November 29, 2012 for a 60-
day preventive suspension.
N. Samar SP oks resolution recommending 60-day
preventive suspension against Mayor Tan of PambujanIn the memorandum of
the governor, he cited Sec.
63, paragraph (A) (2) 0f
RA 7160, known as the
Local Government Code
of 1991 as well as the ap-
proved reso lu ti on of SP
which was unanimously ap-
proved headed by Vice Gov.
Ramp Nielsen Uy.
In the said resolution, the
administrative case stemmed
when Conchita Tuballas,
who was separated from her
former position as human
resource management of-
cer-1, led a case against
Mayor Tan for abuse of
authority and oppression
The initial evidences
attached to the complaint
readily reveal that respon-
dent Tan has violated the
orders of the Civil Service
Commission to reinstate
complainant Tuballas to her
posit ion as administra tive
ofcer-11 while the alleged
appeal of recall case is still
pending. And whether said
promot io n of compla in t
is valid or not, this Sang-
gunian is at great quandary
why complainant, Conchita
Tuballas, separated from
her permanent position and
without any compensation
until now, which is in viola-
tion of the complainants
right to security of tenure.
In the unanimous con-
cession of all the members
present of this Sangguniang
Panlalawigan that on the ba-
sis of the evidence initially
presented, there is an indica-
tion that the respondent is
probably guilty of the allega-
tions against him, subject, of
course, to the benet of the
doubt given to him by the
august body.
Meanwhile, in an inter-
view with Civil Security
Ofce Chief of the province,
Gerry Marquita, he con-
rmed that at around 4 in the
afternoon of December 12,
2012, he and his group to-
gether with a representative
from the DILG provincial
ofce, he was able to served
personally the suspension
order to the Mayor himself
in his ofce.
Likewise, in its SP reso-
lution, it said, given the
gravity of the offense and
being a high ranking public
ofcial, there is a great prob-
ability that the continuance
in ofce of Mayor Tan could
inuence the witnesses or
pose a threat to the integ-
rity of records or evidences.
Hence, issuance of said
preventive suspension is in
order while the case is pend-
ing investigation. (PETER
D. PAREDES)
CARIGARA, Leyte
At least 100 school chil-
dren from indigent fami-lies of this town benetted

yesterday of the Depart-
ment of Public Works

District Engineer Ma.

tion of their ofce every

The one-day activity
held at the DPWH 2nd LEDgymnasium was packed
with games, talent presen-
tations, and surprises for
children. They were also
treated with free lunch.
Giving gifts to chil-
dren of poor families made
us feel good. We hope to
inspire these young chil-
dren to pursue their educa-
tion, Junia said.
Epifanio Bacolanta,
Jr., principal of Carigara
II Central School thanked
the DPWH 2nd LED man-
agement for selecting theirschool as recipient of gift
100 school children from indigent families
receive gifts from DPWH 2nd LEDgiving.
These children deserve
gifts this Christmas because
they belong to the poorest
of the poor families, Ba-
colanta said.

grade, said that this is her
rst time to receive a gift
from an institution. I wont

Today, December 22, the
Leyte Samar Daily Express
begins to navigate its next
365-day course as a posi-
tive, fair, and free regional
daily newspaper as it com-
memorates the 25th year (a
silver jubilee, indeed!) of the
Leyte Samar Express pub-
lishing industry in simple
anniversary activities at its
main ofce, the rst oor
of the Knights of Columbus
Building along Padre Zamo-
ra street, Tacloban City.
As it does, the couple
who are behind this trade-
mark of free journalism in
the Waray Region, Dalmacio
Massey Candido Gral
and Alma nee Montallana,
both from the province of
Eastern Samar, renew their
commitment of continually
improving on their service of
catering to the information
needs of the news reading
public in Region VIII.
A solid proof to that re-
newal is their having aptly
prepared themselves, their
personnel, and their ofcefor the rising challenges to

counted from the time the
editorial content navigates to
the network until it gets its
nished form on a plate the
latest issue for the day of the
Leyte Samar Daily Express is
ready for printing. In the next
hour or so, the newspaper gets
off the offset printing process,
commissioned to their fullest,
produced their rst print form
of this paper. The other prepa-
rations corresponded to these
innovative changes.
This attribute further dem-
onstrates the responsiveness
of the editorial management.
That is why it continues to
attract advertisers and news-
makers. In another vein, it also
helps prepare future journal-
ists by enlisting interns from
among mass communications
and media-related courses.
Its competent editorial force,
themselves veteran journal-
ists, headed by editor-in-chief
Vicente Ven S. Labro, who
hails from Catbalogan, Samar,
provide the necessary guid-
ance and mentoring (where
needed) to all their staff mem-
bers, including interns, and
others who wish to work for
the Leyte Samar Express pub-lications.
Yes, publications, for aside
from the daily, the Express
family has also been publish-
ing weeklies in the different
parts of the region, with prov-
incewide circulation, apart
from a city edition.
The Express newspapering
industry has kept on growing
since its rst newspaper publi-
cation, the Leyte Samar Week-
ly Express which rst hit the
streets exactly on December
22, 1988, less than two years
after the Philippines regained
its democracy from a dicta-
torial regime. The LSWE,
acronym for that newspaper,
became the mother of the
weeklies subsequently pub-
lished - the rst inside-page
provincial edition having been
the Leyte Samar Weekly Ex-
press Biliran Edition under
the editorship of community
organizer-NGO worker So-
corro Intoy Cotejar of Na-
val (capital of Biliran prov-
ince) until the birth in year
1999 of the Leyte Samar Daily
Express (LSDE, or Daily Ex-
press, for short), thanks to the
daring but encouraging idea ofEmil Justimbaste who at once
became its rst editor-in-chief.
During the days of the
LSWE, the Leyte Samar Ex-
press Newsmagazine was
born, with this writer, while
serving as associate editor
and columnist of the weekly,
taking the cudgel as editor-in-
chief. The Newsmagazine continued
until the daily became the regular
agship publication of the Express
family.
True to its social obligation and
duties, the Express family, nota-
bly the men and women behind the
LSDE, adhere to the avowed ethics
and principles of journalism and nd
active membership in such respect-
able media organizations as the na-
tional Philippine Press Institute, and
some local groups, like the erstwhile
and then defunct Leyte Private Me-
dia Inc., and the popular, now 12
years old, Express It At The Park
(EIATP) which began with only fourmen Massey himself, now LSDE
columnist,former PIA director Alvin
G. Arpon, Atty. Ramon Cuyco,former
LTO-8 director and engineer Wilson
Chan, general manager of Leyte Park
Hotel. Other regional and provincial
organizations, such as the Philippine
National Police Press Corps,
Samar Island Press Club, the
Catbalogan Cable TV Me-
dia Nucleus (CCATMAN),
Region Eight Tri-Media As-
sociation (RETA), and other
independent media groups.
Besides responding to re-
quests for reportorial coverage
(like those from regional gov-
ernment agencies and local
government units, and even
requesting militant sectors),
or participating in building
advocacy lines as the media
sector, the Express, speci-
cally the LSDE, also closelycoordinates with the Philip-
pine Information Agency.
This involvement accentuates
the positive, or pro-active,
character of LSDE.
Among the pioneers in the
Express family, aside from
Massey and Alma themselves,
had been David Genotiva,
Loly Isiderio, Inocencio P.
Maderazo, Atty. Aurelio D.
Menzon, and this writer.
