plus an accident insurance. In the past, the governmentonly shoulders hal o the premium cost.
We are stepping our effort to reach the targeto 70,000 armers who will benefit this cropinsurance program this year. Crop insurance is
really important because it will protect us i naturalcalamities happen again, Bernabe said during thelaunching o the premium subsidy scheme.

As of 4:00 p.m. Monday,the LPA was spotted some125 kilometers southeastof Guiuan, Eastern samar(10.5N, 127.0E).
Quitlong said theweather disturbance con-tinued to move very slow-ly due to the presence of aridge of high pressure area(HPA) over Luzon that pre-

HESE are two general ways o knowing, thinking,understanding and communicating. One, the intuitive, iso the automatic, instantaneous type, while the other, thediscursive, requires some stages o analysis and reasoning.
Tey need not be opposed to each other. In act, theyshould not be, since its good that we develop both o themto the hilt, because they correspond well to our conditionin this world. We have need or both o them.
O course, o the two, it is the intuitive that is more per-ect, since in our ultimate and definitive statein heav-eneverything will be intuitive. In heaven, we can expectto see, know and communicate everything in one go, andnot anymore in stages.
Tis affirmation somehow presumes aith, since withreason and the purely human ways o thinking alone, wemay not be talking at all o an ultimate and definitive state,much less, o heaven. Tis means that without aith, ourreason can go anywhere and nowhere. Lets hope we cansee the intrinsic relationship between aith and reason.
Te intuitive way depends on the way we areourtemperament, dispositions, aptitudes and biases. It alsohinges on our experiences and the knowledge accumu-lated through the years that imbue in us a certain directaffinity and amiliarity with certain realities that we canapprehend without much thinking.
In the end, the intuitive way is an expression o thekind o spirit we havewhether it is a good spirit or bad,whether it is a spirit o the flesh, o the world, or o God.
Its good that we are aware o the variety o spirits that canprevail over us, and know which one to choose.
Yes, theres need to have discernment o spirit, not onlythe one o the others and o the world in general, but alsoand especially the spirit that each one o us has. We haveto be more aware o this need and even more adept in han-dling it.
Tats because being constitutively spiritual by nature,we have to be aware at least o the kind o spirit we have,and develop it properly by connecting it with what we maycall the proper and original spirit or usnone other thanthe Spirit o God, our Creator.
Tis much, St. Paul already hinted when he talkedabout the spiritual man and the carnal man who, he said,cannot perceive the things that are o the Spirit o God,or it is oolishness to him, and he cannot understand, be-cause it is spiritually examined. (1 Cor 2,14)
Its very telling that St. Paul said that the spiritual manjudges all things, and he himsel is judged o no man. (1Cor 2,15) In effect, he is saying how important it is, there-ore, to have the proper spirit, that is, the Spirit o God.
From these considerations, we can already see how todevelop our intuitive way o knowing and understanding.We have to work on our temperament and dispositionsobserve things and study a lot, etc. Most o all, we have tosee to it that our spirit is vitally linked to the Spirit o Godthrough the doctrine o our aith, prayer, sacrifice, virtues,sacraments, etc.

Ever disappearing pork
he news never fails to sur-prise. Months ago, news
erupted of how ve of oursenators and several of ourcongressmen allegedly al-lowed bogus nongovern-
ment organizations to use their priori-ty development assistance fund (PDAF),more popularly known to everyone as thepork barrel, to fund non-existent projects.Among the ve identied senators, Revillaimmediately cried foul and blamed Pnoyfor the revelation.
It is uncertain from the news whether ornot the said solons, should it be supposed
that the allegations are true, wittingly al-lowed the said use of their pork barrel orthey were merely duped into believing thatthe projects they intend to fund were genu-ine. Just the same, Revilla claims that it wasfoul to leak that news without rst ascer-taining its veracity.
In discounting the truth of the news,Revilla relied on dirty politicking as theculprit, attributed the disclosure to Mala-canang and regarded it a demolition job inits effort to discredit potential Presidentialcandidates which he claims includes him.Another senator subject of the attack, Mar-cos, addressed the issue not very different-ly, vouching to explore the possibility thatthere may be a political angle to all this inthe light of the upcoming presidential elec-
tion in 2016. But unlike Revilla, Marcosdoes not appear to be too defensive about
it, even lamenting that he is eager to par-ticipate in any investigation which will re-veal the truth of this matter.
And during their privileged speeches be-fore the Senate, Jinggoy and Revilla, vehe-mently alleged conspiracy among the gov-ernments ofcers in or order for them tobe prosecuted by linking their names to thescam headed by Janet Napoles.
The issue of scrapping the pork barrel haslong been a point of debate among many,lawmakers and non-lawmakers alike. May-be it should be scrapped as there certainly
is luster in the claim that it has been a har-binger of bad tidings, of corruption, of un-just accumulation of wealth. It has been ameans to an oppressive end, of furtheringtheir riches at the expense of the taxpayingpublic.
Out in the Holy Land is where Revillanow spends his holy week while Jinggoy isin the US for treatment of his ailing knees.
But whether or not there are sufcientreasons to blow the son of a b**** to smith-ereens is just beside the point. The shamhas been done and what Revilla ought to
do better than cry like a cowering Cassan-dra is prove his accusers wrong. The leastthat he should do is hint his imaginings ofbeing a potential candidate for president inthe next elections.
freely.However, he noted that the LPA has a slim chance of
re-intensifying into a tropical depression due to a strongvertical wind shear or winds from different directions thatblow into the country and continue to interact with its cir-culation.
Quitlong said that after it hit land, the LPA may not
dissipate but it will likely exit the country via the WestPhilippine Sea on Good Friday.
He added that the rest of Mindanao and Luzon, includ-
ing Metro Manila, will continue to have partly cloudy tocloudy skies with possible light passing rains mostly inthe afternoon or evening.
The LPA, which was spotted over the Pacic Oceanlast April 4, entered the country as a tropical storm onApril 6 and was named Domeng.
A day after it entered the Philippine territory or onApril 7, it had been downgraded to a tropical depressioncategory.
Domeng, the rst tropical cyclone to enter thecountry this month and the fourth this year, weakenedback into an LPA last April 10. (PNA)

PALO, Leyte- Secretary Mar Roxasof the Department of Interior and LocalGovernment (DILG) visited Leyte todistribute checks to areas hit by supertyphoonYolanda.
During his visit on April 11 and 12, Roxasdistributed a total amount of P801.80 millionto 35 areas in Leyte which sustained damagesdue to Yolanda.
And among the recipients was aclobanwith its mayor, Alfred Romualdez, personallyreceiving the financial assistance.
Roxas said that acloban received P230.87million which is about 80 percent of the totalamount that he distributed.
acloban is considered to be the groundzero of Yolandas wrath.Te DILG Secretary stressed that the
financial assistance should be used by thelocal governments for the repair of theircity or municipal hall; civic centers; publicmarkets and key public infrastructures.
According to Roxas in Leyte, out of 40municipalities hit by Yolanda 35 received

In a statement, Castaares, the regional governor ofthe Eastern Visayas Chamber of Commerce and Industry(EVCCI) said he quit his post so he could focus on theirhotel business expansion.
He owns Optimus Assets Inc., the operator of KutingReef and other tourism-related ventures in SouthernLeyte.
I just assisted PARR in the initial coordination and
preparation of rehabilitation framework. My engagementwith PARR is only on an interim basis while they werelooking for a full time coordinator, said Castaares,a former transportation and communication assistantsecretary.
In the case of Cam, the volunteer city PARRcoordinator, told Leyte Samar Daily Express that healso decided to follow Castanares by tendering his ownresignation.
(My) main reason for disengaging from PARR wasthe lack of clear direction and action. We felt we could domore helping out within the private sector under the localbusiness chambers, said Cam, who owns the WelcomeHome Pensionne in Tacloban.
Cam criticized the government for the slow pace in theimplementation of Reconstruction Assistance on Yolanda
(RAY) in Tacloban City.The government is very slow, even responding to ourrequest for policy issues that would benet the businesssector, he added.
Lacson said that RAY implementation is still on track,but not in full swing since PARR has to wait for the nalpost disaster needs assessment (PDNA) on April 21before coming up with a master rehabilitation plan.
He added that under Republic Act 10121 (PhilippineDisaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010,the submission of the PDNA is mandated.
The PDNA outlines priorities based on urgency,impact on the community and importance. The reportis the governments nal blueprint for damage, loss andrecovery plans.
I rst thought of appealing to the private sectorknowing that the national government would not be
ready to plan, much less implement reconstruction andrehabilitation of the devastated areas because of someinternational protocols that we must adhere to, Lacsonsaid.
The former senator urged local government units tobe proactive while waiting for the full implementation ofRAY by forging partnerships with the private sector insome reconstruction projects. (SARWELL Q.MENIANO)

A total of 19 mayors or their representativesreceived their checks in Palo and others receivedit in Baybay and Ormoc cities.
Te assistance, according to Roxas, is part ofthe national governments Recovery Assistanceon Yolanda (RAY) to cities and municipalitiesin Leyte and other areas that sustained damagesdue to the supertyphoon that hit the Visayas onNovember 8, 2013.
Roxas requested the local chief executivespresent during the distribution of checks to buyproducts from their localities and employ locallaborers so that the money will circulate within
their areas and help in the process revive theireconomies.Roxas also emphasized that the LGU
has the option whether they will handle theconstruction work or bid them out.
He then requested the mayors to constructtheir structures that could withstand asupertyphoon as much as possible. (LIZBETHANN ABELLA).

since it avors dialogue anda continuing discovery othings.
We also have to sharpenthis discursive way by hav-ing an open-mind, being
very observant and eagerto relate things and discov-er relationships. We haveto study the art o logic and
