BALAGTAS, BULACAN -- Nakump-iska ng kapulisan ang P9.7-million halaga ng marijuana mula sa dala-wang drug suspect sa isinagawang buy-bust operation sa Barangay San-tol nitong Linggo.

Ang mga dried marijuana bricks ay nasamsam mula sa mga naares-tong suspek na sina Mark Lambert Bhobe ng Meycauyan City, at Ange-lo Llagas ng Barangay Gaya-Gaya, Lungsod ng San Jose Del Monte.

Ayon kay Maj. Michael Udal, hepe ng Balagtas police, naku-ha mula sa mga naaresto ang 81 bricks ng pinatuyong dahon ng mar-

MABALACAT CITY – Mayor Crisostomo Garbo has assured the relatives of five abducted individu-als in Barangay Dau here of the city’s assistance in finding the whereabouts of their missing loved ones.

Garbo, on Tuesday met with parents and relatives of the missing men, identified as Finest Nathaniel Mendoza, 37 years old; Nomer Gon-zales, 59 years old; Jon-jon Flores, 28 years old; Alexander Euperio, 45 years old; and, one iden-tified only as “Warlie.”

Mendoza, Gonzales and Flores are all from

this city while Euperio is from nearby Angeles City. They were reported-ly taken by armed men in civilian clothing at the Pi-neda Compound in Ba-rangay Dau last August 21, 2022.

Mayor Garbo said that regardless of the reason behind their dis-appearance, justice must prevail and that they must be found.

“Huwag po masyado mag-alala. Ang pamaha-laan po ng Mabalacat ay nasa likod ninyo at hindi po tayo titigil sa pagha-hanap,” Garbo told rela-tives.

Garbo ordered lo-

cal police to intensi-fy search and has also called on the public to help locate the missing men and report any in-formation to the police.

He said that city po-lice must continue tap-ping other police stations in the province and other law enforcement agen-cies for any information that could lead to the whereabouts of the miss-ing individuals.

Mabalacat PNP has issued a flash alarm and declared Mendoza as missing after his family reported the abduction to the local police on Au-gust 24. Mabalacat CIO

CABANATUAN CITY - Nueva Ecija has a new police director.

Col. Richard Caballe-ro was installed as new officer-in-charge of the Nueva Ecija Police Pro-vincial Office in simple rites at the headquarters here Friday.

Caballero assumed the post vacated by Col. Jess Mendez in ceremo-nies officiated by Brig. Gen. Jerry Bearis, depu-ty regional director for ad-ministration of the Police Regional Office 3.

Mendez who served

as acting NEPPO direc-tor for only seven months cited provincial police personnel for their “hard work and dedication in implementing the law,” during his stint.

For his part, Cabal-lero who was previously assigned at the Admin-istrative Resource Man-agement Division of Area Police Command, North-ern Luzon said that he has committed himself to continue the legacy of the outgoing APD, to pursue the prosecution of cas-es and to suppress crim-inality in the province. He added that, he is honored

and privileged to follow the footsteps of his pre-decessor.

Mendez’s accom-plishments, he said, would never be forgotten.

Bearis under-scored that peace and order is the founda-tion of society as he re-iterated the directives of PNP chief Gen. Ro-dolfo Azurin, Jr. to in-crease police visibility, patrolling and implement his M+K+K=K Program (Malasakit + Kaayusan + Kapayapaan = Kaunlar-an) and Kasimbayanan (Kapulisan, Simbahan at Pamayanan).

Serving the finest Korean Teppan in townForest BBQ

IF L.A. Bakeshop brings to mind such a sincere feeling of comfort and familiarity for Kapampangans, it’s be-cause this is a brand that was home-born. Despite its success, it continues to be very much a family busi-ness running on family core values, not to mention its strict adherence to the origi-nal bread recipes.

We look back at what tickled our palates in the mid-80s, when we passed by that tiny L.A. Bakeshop at the strip of the San Fer-nando old public market – and virtually smell all that goodness in its freshly baked breads…delectably delightful! Ah, how we never failed to buy a piece or two or more of the best sellers hot pandesal and soft but-tery milky cheese bread for snack or family pasalubong.

“From a small Bart’s grocery store in San Fer-nando, parents Bart (+) and Angie Lim shifted to a bak-ery business. While starting up a family and raising the children, it was making the best of something that they already have and loved do-ing,” Bunny Lim, L.A. Bake-shop co-owner told Punto.

In 1985, L.A. Bake-shop was born, churning out their signature pan-desal, pandesito, cheese bread and Spanish bread that drew a steady stream of customers started every single day. Fast forward, 26 years later, the first L.A. Bakeshop branch opened in Dolores, City of San Fer-nando, marking the brand’s full expansion with totally different look like brick walls and modern design, official yellow L.A. logo and new systems and processes all applied to serve their cus-tomers better.

“We wanted to contin-ue the legacy bequeathed to us by our parents. Sure, there are many challenges along the way but we are coping. And to stay relevant in the food scene, we make sure to offer an interest-ing product lineup, “ Bunny shared.

L.A. Bakeshop offers a wide array of heavenly con-fection of breads on their menu – a collection of best-sellers and food trends and innovations like Ube Chee-sedesal, Ube Ensayma-na, Ube Bunn and Choco Munchies.

At present, L.A. Bake-shop has six branches (in-cluding the newest branch in Barangay Salapungan Angeles City) with the Lim siblings hoping to open more within and outside Pampanga.

Flagship branch Mc Ar-thur Highway, Dolores, City of San Fernando, Pampan-ga, 0915-0744294 , store hours 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. or visit FB page at L.A. Bakeshop.

PERHAPS TWO of the famil-iar associations one can make with Korean food are Kimchi and Samgy. But there’s more to Ko-rean food than just these popu-lar dishes. Korean Teppan is one thing that takes you by surprise and its available daily at Forest Barbecue Express.

This reverence to authentic Korean cuisine is what Forest BBQ is all about – dishes with straightforward and bold flavors served in an al fresco setting where you can relax, revel in the forest-style ambiance and enjoy great food with friends and family.

Korean Teppan is the newest offering of Forest BBQ. And what an exciting way to dine! Every-thing is cooked on iron griddle in-front of you by the chef, enjoying the best food and fun experience with the spectacular fire show.

Asked of the difference be-tween Japanese and Korean

Teppan, Allaine Tan owner of Forest BBQ, explains that one notable thing about Korean BBQ is that it is typically served with many interesting dishes referred to as banchan compared to Jap-anese BBQ. Common banchan side dishes are kimchi, dried squid, fishcakes, pickled radish-es, and potato salad.

“If you order Korean BBQ at a restaurant, you should expect banchan to be served alongside it, serve as an accompaniment for the meal not an appetizer. Japanese BBQ, on the other hand, is usually only accompa-nied by a selection of raw vegeta-bles that are served together with the grilled meat,” she furthers.

Forest BBQ Korean Teppan offers diverse set menus which include quality rib eye steak with the intriguing “Soju” gravy, Kore-an marinade chicken and pork barbecue, signature forest fried

rice or kimchi fried rice, soy mar-inated shrimp, signature doejang mixed vegetables and fish cake and assorted side dishes.

These were manifest situations of the imperative of revolution in his See. And a revolution did indeed obtain then in Pam-panga, with the Huks already “at the very gates of Manila.”

Marked as apostates pursuing the es-tablishment of a “godless” society, the Huks naturally had to be stopped, and their ideology uprooted to “save the country and preserve Mother Church.” A strategic pol-icy of the Cold War placed the Church at the bulwark of the war against communism.

It was at the very cauldron of that sim-mering social ferment that Bishop Guer-rero organized the Cruzada de Penitencia y Caridad – the Crusade for Penance and Charity – in 1952.

In revolutionary praxis, the Cruza-da served the ends of a counter-revo-lution. The conscientization of the op-pressed masa that was the spark to start the inevitable prairie fire, doused by the sprinkle of holy water, the heart soothed by hymns and prayers, the soul seared with the promise of redemption, of eternal bliss in the hereafter. So long as the hardest of toils, the worst of privations, indeed, all in-

justices and oppression be borne as Christ did with His cross.

Unrepentant communists would readily see it as the affirmation of that Marxist dic-tum: “Religion is the opium of the people.”

Images of the Virgen de los Remedios and Santo Cristo del Perdon were taken all around the Pampanga parish church-es and capillas where they stayed for days, the faithful seeking their intercession and intervention through nonstop prayers and nightly processions.

A hymn to the virgin was composed with peace as recurrent refrain: “…ica’ng minye tula ampon capayapan / quing indu ning balen quequeng lalawigan / uling calim-bun mu caring sablang dalan / ding barrio at puruc caring cabalenan / agad menati-li ing catahimican…” (…you gave us joy and peace / to the mother of our province / when taken in procession / in all the bar-rios in the towns / peace descended upon them…) Forgive the poor translation.

The charity end of the crusade – la-mac – was institutionalized – all the barrio folk, even the poorest of them, contributed

Ang narinig nating second reading ngay-on ay sulat ni San Pablo kay Filemon—hin-di mangingisda. Mukhang isang alagad na mayaman ang dating dahil meron siyang ali-pin at ninakawan ng maraming pera.

Madalang lang nating marinig ang pinaka-maikling sulat na ito ni San Pablo. Hindi ito katulad ng ibang sulat niya na addressed sa mga pamayanan katulad ng Corinthians, Philippians, Thessalonians. Itong sulat na ito ay addressed sa isang tao, isang alagad na ang pangalan ay Filemon. Endorsement let-ter ang dating, iniindorso kay Filemon ang isang taong ang pangalan ay Onesimo, pan-galang Latin na ang ibig sabihin ay “May pa-kinabang, o maaasahan.”

Sa sulat maiintindihan mo na may atraso kay Filemon si Onesimo. Mukhang ito’y isang taong dating malapit sa kanya at pinagkakati-walaan niya, pero sinira ang tiwala niya, kaya “wala nang silbi sa kanya at hindi na niya maaasahan.” Mukhang hindi lang niloko si Filemon, ninakawan pa siya ng Onesimong ito. At mukhang ang malaking perang iyon ay ipinagkatiwala lang sa kanya para ihatid kay San Pablo na noon ay nakakulong sa bi-

langguan. Imbes na makaabot kay San Pab-lo ang pera, mukhang winaldas niya at di na siya bumalik kay Filemon. Sa kamalas-mala-san naman, nahuli si Onesimo ng mga pulis at nakulong siya sa bilangguan at napasama sa selda kung saan naroon si San Pablo.

Doon nakilala niya si San Pablo, nagba-go ang ugali dahil sa pakikinig sa pangaral ni San Pablo, nagpabinyag at naging Kristiya-no. Nang matapos ang sintensya niya, mala-ya na sana siya, pero saan siya uuwi? Alam niyang itinakwil na siya ng amo niya. Ah, si San Pablo ang gagawa ng paraan. Uutusan si Onesimo na bumalik kay Filemon, humingi ng tawad at ibigay sa kanya ang edorsement letter. Sino ba si Pablo kay Filemon? Pa-rang tatay niya, isang taong pinagkakautan-gan niya ng buhay niya, isang guro na igina-galang niya at hindi niya matitiis na hindian.

Sa sulat, ang pakiusap ni Pablo kay File-mon ay ganito, “Alam kong may atraso siya sa iyo. Patawarin mo na sana siya. Tanggap-in mo siya hindi na bilang alipin kundi bilang kapatid—ibig sabihin, kapatid sa pananam-palataya.” Isang matinding drama sa tunay

AQUI EN la Pampanga hay mucha piedad pero poca caridad.It has been seventy years, this 2022, since that lamentation over the “wealth in piety but poverty in charity” expressed by Bishop Cesar Ma. Guerrero, the first to occupy the bishopric of San Fernando, noting “the stark class differences between the rich and the poor, the strife between the landlords and the tenants, and a deteriorating socio-politi-cal-economic situation bordering on socialism.”

MAY KANTANG Cebuano na ang pamagat ay SI FILEMON, SI FILEMON. “Nangisda raw sa karagatan, nakahuli ng isdang tambasakan, iyung tipo ng isda na walang kuwenta. Ibi-nenta daw niya sa palengke at ang kinita ay sapat lang na pang-inom niya ng tuba.”

Globe seeks unified front vs cybercriminals

AS THE Philippines’ leading digital solutions plat-form, Globe has been at the forefront of clamping down on scammers accessing personal data of mo-bile phone users in their ever-evolving modus ope-randi to dupe people out of their hard-earned money.

Globe reiterates that it has long put in place strin-gent measures to ensure the sanctity of customer data, bar attempts of third-party breach and guard against scammers. The company further stepped up its efforts at the height of the pandemic, when cyber-criminals found new ways to dupe customers.

To date, Globe has spent $20 million or roughly P1.1 billion in capital expenditures to boost its ca-pabilities in detecting and blocking scam and spam messages of international and domestic sources, in-cluding app-to-person and person-to-person SMS. Globe also maintains a 24/7 security operations cen-ter, with over 100 people working tirelessly to detect attacks, breaches and spam and text messages.

Through these efforts, the company was able to block 784 million scam and spam messages from January to July this year, deactivated 14,058 scam-linked SIMs and blacklisted 8,973 others. Globe also blocked 610 domains or URLs.

“We work closely with the National Telecommuni-cations Commission and the Data Privacy Commis-sion in pursuit of our common goal to crack down on cybercriminals and protect data privacy. GCash also coordinated with law enforcement agencies such as the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group and the NBI Cy-bercrime Division on reported scamming incidents, which have led to arrest and prosecution,” said An-ton Bonifacio, Globe chief information security offi-cer.

To date, GCash was able to block 900,000 fraud-ulent accounts from January 2021 to March 2022 as well as helped arrest fraudsters.

Globe also partnered with banks and online retail-ers for threat intelligence and data sharing to boost multi-industry shared efforts against cybercriminals.

As the company does its part in combating online fraud, it also encourages all stakeholders– govern-ment, including regulatory bodies and law enforce-ment, business, and the public– to scale up vigilance and work better together against cybercriminals.

We again urge our customers to report spam and scam messages they receive on our Stop Spam web portal. Android phone users are also encouraged to set up spam filters on their devices. Just follow these simple steps:

Download Google’s “Messages” appSet it as your default Android SMS messengerGo to Settings and enable Spam Protection We also reiterate our call for mobile phone us-

ers to never open or click on links from unknown numbers or engage with these messages by reply-ing with personal information. (Globe statement, 6 Sept. 2022)

Three things were In Carlos’ mind to consider in light of the myriad problems the country is beset with from, virus to debt, versus the political system that appears un-able to properly and adequately respond to the difficult circumstances the nation is fac-ing.

The intelligence of our political leaders or representatives may be it.In a parlia-mentary system, she opined, those who don’t have it, that is a higher level of intel-ligence as a opposed to a lower degree, will be found out or will not make it. If you don’t have something between the ears,or isn’t competitive, she essentially said, you will a hard time debating or defending your position on the Parliament floor during the question hour. . Or, as some newbie in the Phlippine Senate, complained, it’s hard to catch up with the legislative conversation.

Eventually, those who don’t have or doesn’t have enough of it will be weeded out. Ultimately, no “bobo”, as Carlos called a spade a spade, will make it in or to the Parliament.

The 18th century British philosopher John Stuart Mills predicted that 200 years ago or so in his book on representative government. He pointed out that low intel-ligence is likely, though not always inevita-ble, in a representative government regard-less of position.

Carlos, like Mills, seems to agree a par-liamentary way is the better way forward.

There is, for another, the issue of polit-ical dynasty that has plagued our political system for far too long. Carlos promised: a parliamentary system will vanish it from the political landscape like a resident evil exorcised for good. That means, the party list system, which properly defines what is a democrazy, will be sad thing of the past, too.

Carlos’ third point is about a stronger, not necessarily bigger, bureaucracy. This applies to the nitty gritty of responding to public needs for services. Technocracy, and expertise more than connection and influence, are implied.

Basically, the issues between the two systems are power and flexibility. In a par-liamentary , the executive is hoghly depen-dent on the legislature for support. The president is mere figurehead. the prime minister is the real deal. If his performance isn’t satisfactory for whatever reason, the Parliament can always ditch him anytime. The Philippine presidential system is the opposite.No less than Sen. Rolando dela Rosa has pointed out what’s wrong with it: Cabinet members can even defy the Senate in a power play between the execu-tive and the legislative.

In the Philipp been ines, the presiden-tial system has been tried and tested for a long time now, and it has been found want-ing ,the definition of proverbial insanity of doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. The Tagalog old adage is more succinct: lumalaon bumubu-ti, sumasama kaysa dati.

On the other hand , does insanity learn from any experience at all? The last pres-idential election had it 31 million Filipinos

who voted the 14th Philippine president ,a only son of a former dictator, thrown into exile by a peaceful revolution and, lo and behold, buried in a hallowed ground for real heroes. “In individuals, insanity is rare, Ni-etzsche said, “ but in groups, nations, par-ties and epochs, it is the rule.”

Carlos is a professional and a political science expert. She makes his assumption on the basis of sanity, and tells us, kind-ly,impliedly why we are or where we are at this point, pandemic or no, although the virus and its unwieldy variants have partly something to do with our nightmares.

She thinks a parliamentary system might just do the “miracles” in our politics. It will be an antidote to Mill’s view of a represen-tative government likely to elect people of low intelligence. In a parliamentary sys-tem, she argues, you have to show that there is something between the ears in a debate, not just complain about politicians talking (talk as the root word for Parliament) too fast it’s difficult for to others to follow.

A shift to federal system , which was supported by many, including former Pres-ident Duterte, or a presidential one, will not do. Governance requires intelligence, and that’s where the competition should be, not on the political chest or populari-ty. The ningas- cogon like enthusiasm died down when it was shown that only a few regions,(Central Luzon was among them) were rich enough and more likely to suc-ceed than the rest.

Our presidential system was inherited from the United States , but…

It was, first and foremost, a colonial im-position from the Americans, according to law professor Tony La Vina, who favors a Charter change because the one we have still has its colonial vestiges. It was more like a “consuelo de bobo ( literally translat-ed as “ consolation of idiots}”, the histori-cal mantra of the colonizers. The Ameri-can Constitution, he says, is not the exact same system we have. In the former, the president is not as strong as Congress. In the latter, Congress is weaker, submissive if not entirely subservient to the president. Ours is a constitutional democracy that has been more honored in the breach in more ways than one.

The 1987 Constitution, like phoenix ris-ing from its ashes ,was an improvement it handcuffed the president in terms of de-claring and implementing martial, intro-duced social reforms provisions tobut al-lowed a self-serving party list system that gave life to political Frankensteins. And they’re all over the place. Political dynas-ties are supposed to have ended a long time ago; instead, they have popped like mushrooms. You know where fungi thrive, in the dark and where manure and decay usually are.

It’s no wonder,corruption is still the big-gest cottage industry in the country.

Carlos’ idea should be welcome like fresh air to extinguish what has been chok-ing this country for lack of clean oxygen. Never mind if she,like her boss, admires Machiavelli. Her idea is about solution, not absolution.

Newly -minted National Security Adviser Clarita Carlos has recently aired a political pref-erence as an alternative to the current political system in the country: a shift from presi-dential to parliamentary. The outspoken political scientist was both passionate and prac-tical about it. It was also timely. The call or clamor for Charter Change is up on the sur-face—again, for the nth time.

aaral natin. Lahat po ay ma-bibigyan, wala po tayong pin-ipili. Iikot po tayo sa lahat ng public schools at daycare cen-ters para ipamigay ito,” Lazatin said.

Vice Mayor Vicenta “Vicky” Vega-Cabigting, who assisted Mayor Lazatin during the dis-tribution, congratulated the lat-ter’s administration for a laud-able project for young Ange-leños.

Vega-Cabigting noted that this is the first time that any local chief executive in Angeles ever gave free uniforms, school sup-plies, bags and shoes to public school students in our city.

“Walang mapapa ‘sana all’ kasi lahat mabibigyan,” she af-firmed.

The vice mayor furthered this is why the aangguniang panglunsod is very supportive of Mayor Lazatin’s programs “because he always has the city and its people in mind.”

in NCC, such as the Nation-al Government Administrative Center, Aquatics Center, and Athletics Stadium.

Speaking at the business mission, Bases Conversion and Development Authority president-CEO Aileen R. Zosa urged the potential locators to consider NCC as their future home and growth hub in the Philippines.

“Our jewel is Clark. We en-vision New Clark City to be the first smart, green, and resilient metropolis in the Philippines. The thrust of New Clark City is sustainability. It is created not just for investors, but also for the surrounding communities,” said Zosa.

During her presentation, the BCDA chief highlighted the sustainability features of the 9,450-hectare NCC, of which 70% is being preserved for green and eco-tourism ven-tures, while the remaining 30% is buildable.

She also presented plans of developing an affordable housing complex and the Phil-ippines’ largest public park within the metropolis, which will emphasize non-motorized and sustainable transport-ori-ented development.

To create a community for all regardless of background and income,Zosa said that a 34.55-hectare affordable, multi-tenure and climate-resil-ient housing project will soon rise in the metropolis, which will feature a river park, town center, community square, sports park, pocket parks as well as mixed-use residen-tial and commercial devel-opments. All of these will be connected to bus rapid transit and metro rail transit systems, among others.

Zosa also discussed other projects in the pipeline, such as a world-class city manage-ment and administration ser-vices, a data center colocation facility, and a solid waste man-agement and waste-to-energy project.

For her part, Philippine Am-bassador to Australia Ma. Hel-len B. De La Vega enthused: “New Clark City lives on its vision and its mantra of really being a city of the future. I’m very glad that this 50-member business delegation is actually interested in sectors that have direct impact on particular matters, such as environment protection, digital transforma-tion, and physical connectivi-ty.”

The Pacific Business Mis-sion is jointly organized by the Philippine Trade and Cen-ter in Sydney, the Philippine Board of Investments, Export Marketing Bureau, Philippine Economic Zone Authority, the Subic Clark and Alliance for Development Council, and the freeport and economic zones in the Subic-Clark-Bataan cor-ridor.

The 72-year-old Deva-nadera also served in various capacities in gov-ernment as Government Corporate Counsel, Solic-itor General, Justice sec-

retary, Interior and Local Government undersecre-tary, mayor of Sampaloc town in Quezon province, and national president of the League of Municipali-ties of the Philippines. BZL

some goods that would accompany the imag-es to their next desti-nation and shared with the neediest there.

The Cruzada in ef-fect became an equal-izing and unifying fac-tor among the faith-ful, regardless of their socio-economic sit-uation. And relative peace did come to the province. For a time.

The breadth and depth of the devotion to the Virgen de los Remedios of the Ca-pampangan moved Pope Pius XII to ap-prove her canonical coronation as the pa-troness of Pampanga on September 8, 1956.

Since then, without

fail, no matter the rains and high water, the Capampangan faith-ful flock to the annual commemoration of the canonical coronation. (Covid-19 made the exception in 2020, and limited attendance in 2021 though). In a rit-ual of renewal of faith in their Lord of Par-don, of rededication to their Indu ning Ca-paldanan (Mother of Remedies), in celebra-tion of their Tula ding Capampangan (Joy of the Capampangan).

Seventy years hence, that “deteriorat-ing socio-political-eco-nomic situation bor-dering on socialism” may have been arrest-ed – the communist

insurgency virtually as dead as Marx and Mao, if not deader.

“The stark class differences between the rich and the poor, the strife between the landlords and the ten-ants,” though still ob-tain. In various mani-festations, in the farms and factories, in the mills and in the malls – as much the wages of sin, as the sin of capi-talism – from workers’ exploitation to farm-land-grabbing, from contractualization to union-busting.

So, did the good Bishop Guerrero’s Cru-zada of peace through charity and prayers fail?

So, we do still come in prayerful celebra-

tion every Sept. 8, in thanksgiving, in suppli-cation.

O Virgen de los Re-medios / damdam ca qng quequeng aus / iligtas mu que’t icab-us / qng sablang tuc-su at maroc / ibie mu ing quecang lunos / ‘panalangin mu que qng Dios. (O Virgin…/ hear our pleas / free and save us / from all temptation and evil / grant us your compas-sion / pray to God for us).

The Cruzada can only continue.

From page 4na buhay ang laman ng sulat na ito at isa sa mga saksi dito ay si San Lukas. Kaya tuloy naiisip ko, hindi kaya ito ang dramang naging in-spirasyon ni San Lukas para sa Parable of the Prodigal Son? Si San Pablo ang pumapa-pel na tatay, si Filemon ang kuya, si Onesimo ang bunso na may at-raso at nagsasabing, “Kuya, nagkasala ako sa iyo at humihingi ako ng tawad. Kung di mo ako matanggap bilang kapatid, tanggapin mo man lang ako bilang al-ipin.”

Pero sa endorse-ment letter na dala niya, malinaw ang hiling ni Pablo kay Filemon: “Tanggapin mo siya hindi bilang alipin kundi bilang kapatid.”

Isang matinding hamon ang sulat na ito kay Filemon para pa-tunayan na isa nga si-yang tunay na alagad. Ang punto: ang pagsu-nod kay Kristo ay di biro.

Ganito rin ang pun-to ng ating ebanghe-lyo ngayon: tungkol sa hamon ng pagiging al-agad. Kumbaga sa kan-tang “Magtanim ay di biro,” PAGSUNOD AY

DI BIRO. Sabi ni San Lukas sa

simula ng ebanghelyo, maraming tao daw ang sumusunod sa kan-ya. Ngunit hinarap niya sila at pinagsabihan. Mukhang alam niya na marami sa kanila ay pa-rang natatangay lang sa agos, hindi alam kung ano ang pinapasok nila. Kaya hinamon sila na parang ganito ang ibig sabihin, “Akala ba nin-yo madali ang maging alagad ko? Nakahanda ba kayong tawagin kay-ong mga “Pasaway sa magulang? Rebelde? Sira-ulo? Panatiko?” Kung hindi, mag-isip-

isip muna kayo. Hindi naman pasyal, party o pagliliwaliw ang pina-pasok ninyo. Baka para kayong hari na lumala-ban sa giyera pero wala naman palang ibubuga. Baka para kayong nag-yayabang na magtayo ng mansion, e ni kubo pala hindi n’yo kayang itayo.”

“Ayaw ko ng bulag na tagasunod o mang-mang na alagad na ti-pong nakikisawsaw lang, sumusulong dahil natatangay pero umaa-tras sa huling sandali.” Ito ang hamon niya. Di ba parang ganyan din ang sinasabi ng kan-

tang “I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.”?

Hindi sapat kay He-sus ang talino o kahu-sayan sa pag-iisip. Ka-hit ang mga corrupt o tiwali sa lipunan ay ma-husay ding mag-isip. Ang tinuturing nilang katalinuhan ay katusu-han, walang kinalaman sa kaharian ng Diyos.

Ang itinuturo ni He-sus ay karunungan ng puso, kakayahang ku-milatis, husay sa paki-kiramdam, katulad ng sinasabi sa ating unang pagbasa. Kakaibang klaseng galing—ka-kayahang unawain ang

kalooban ng Diyos. Kay Hesus, kasama na rito ang kakayahang mag-patawad, magparaya, humarap sa pagsubok na buo ang loob, uma-ko sa pananagutan, manindigan sa tama, totoo at nararapat kahit ipagdusa pa ito o ika-matay.

Ito, para kay Hes-us ang ibig sabihin ng maging alagad niya: hindi alipin ng layaw, kundi anak na tunay na malaya.

Paghabol sa illegal quarry operator sa Bulacan, pinaigting

Nagsagawa ng inspeksiyon si Gov. Daniel Fernando sa nasa limang ektaryang lupa sa Barangay Camangyanan na iligal na pinagmiminahan ng batong Scom-bro. PIA-3

SANTA MARIA, Bulacan -- Tinututukan ng pama-halaang panlalawigan ang paghabol sa mga iligal na operator ng quarrying sa Bulacan habang suspen-dido ang lahat ng uri ng pag-quarry at pagmimina sa buong probinsya.

Ayon kay Bulacan En-vironment and Natural Re-sources Office chief Ju-vic Degala, pinakabago sa mga nasabat ang iligal na operasyon ng paghuhu-kay ng mga batong Scom-bro o Bulik sa Barangay Camangyanan sa Santa Maria. Isa itong high-end na mga bato na nakade-posito sa naturang lugar sa mahabang panahon.

Nabuo aniya ang mga batong Scombro mula sa

mga lava na ipinutok ng mga bulkan noong pre-his-toric period, kung saan ang katauhan ay umaasa sa mga inukit na mga bato para sa kanilang mga pangunah-ing pangangailangan.

Natuklasan ng BENRO na iligal na namimina ito sa Santa Maria sa nakali-pas na 30 taon. Ikinubli ito sa pamamagitan ng kun-waring palaisdaan at buki-rin kung saan inilulubog at ibinabaon sa ilalim ang nasabing bato.

May laking limang ek-tarya ang inisyal na nadi-skubre na pinagmiminahan nito na naglalaman ng nasa 29,625 metro kubiko na mga batong Scombro.

Sa inisyal na pagtataya ng BENRO, aabot sa P20

million ang halaga ng mga minang ito habang nasa P5 million kada metro kubiko ang potensyal na dapat ay nakokolektang buwis ng Kapitolyo kung ligal ang pagmimina.

Karaniwang ginagamit ang mga batong Scombro sa mga landscaping ng mga hardin at ito rin ang mga materyales na ginag-amit sa mga restorasyon ng mga matatandang istrak-turang ipinagawa pa noong panahon ng mga Kastila.

Nasa limang indibidw-al na sinasabing mga may-ari ang inaresto at kasalu-kuyang nasa kustodiya ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Group ng kapu-lisan. Pormal na ring nag-
