TACLOBAN CITY- Doing a film about supertyphoon Yolanda would at least ensure that the tragic incident would not be forgotten by the world.

Thus said acting multiple winner and considered the Superstar of Philippine movies, Nora Aunor, when asked why she agreed to do the film about Yolanda and shot here in Tacloban, considered the ground zero of the world’s strongest typhoon to make landfall.

“Hopefully, this film will help the people not to forget

ORAS, Eastern Samar – The local government here signed a three-year deal for the implementation of the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan – Comprehensive and Intergrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) program.

Every year, there will be a P17.4 million municipal grant allocation for the 42 villages of this town to fund the projects proposed by each village and approved by the provincial office. The funds are directly released to the vil-lages’ bank account.

“This is a way of empowering the people and letting them feel that they are part of planning for the betterment of our community, not only elected government officials,” said mayor Viviane P. Alvarez.

KALAHI CIDSS is one of the three core poverty alle-viation program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) aiming to empower local commu-nity, reduce poverty and improve local governance.

This is a community-driven program wherein commu-nity-chosen priorities are turned into sustainable projects which will address the community’s needs and KALAHI CIDSS provides financial assistance for the implementa-tion of these projects.

Marian Cuenco, a resident of the town expressed agreement as it would let them know how projects imple-mentation and budget utilization are done. “I think this is

TACLOBAN CITY-- Around 150 doctors from East-ern Visayas gathered here recently for their 2nd Biennial Meeting that aims to enhance their practice for a more efficient service.

Organized by the Philippine Pediatric Society (PPS) Eastern Visayas chapter, the event was among its efforts in upgrading the delivery of private sector-led health ser-vices infant and children in Eastern Visayas.

Superstar Nora Aunor shots film on Yolandaon what happened here,” Aunor said.

Aunor shot the film, tentatively titled as “Taklub,” in different parts of the city like at the Tacloban Convention Center and in Barangay 88, San Jose district.

The movie, though considered to be of “indie,” as not being backed by a big film studio, is being directed by in-ternationally acclaimed Brillante Mendoza.

Mendoza recently won the best director award from the prestigious Cannes Film Festival for his film “Kinatay,” in

2012 becoming the first Filipino director to achieve such distinction.

Aunor, herself winner of best actress awards from dif-ferent international film circuits, plays a Yolanda survivor in the film along with award-winning actor Julio Diaz.

The film is said to be shown by next year and not clear yet if it would be shown and compete at various film festi-

Dr. La Rhaine Viernes, the over-all chair of the event, said that they wanted to develop the knowledge of the general pediatricians and also the medical practitioners in Leyte and Samar.

Quieting of Titlex-------------------------x

JUDGMENT BY COMPROMISE

BEFORE THIS COURT are two (2) Compromise Agree-ments executed by both parties (pp. 103-106 of the Records). The first one is between the plaintiffs and defendant Marian Darang which reads:

“xxx xxx xxxThe parties stipulate to the fol-lowing:

1.Plaintiff asserts a claim of ownership against defendant on a land located at Lugay st., Brgy. 4-A, Guiuan, Eastern Samar under Lot #1588 with Original Certificate of Title #RP-1414 (reconstituted) but original-ly OCT #7797 declared in the name of Eufemia A. Macabasag.

2. An action based on this claim is now pending at the Regional Trial Court, Guiuan, Eastern Samar, Branch 3, case

number 1304 and entitled Pedro Guimbaolibot Jr., et. al. vs. Mari-an Darang, et.al., for Annulment of Certificate of Title, Deed of Absolute Sale, Tax Declaration and Quieting of Title.

3. Defendant denies any liability in connection with the alleged claim.

4. The parties wish to reach a full and final settlement of the action and all matters aris-ing from the dispute described above.

Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth, the parties agree to the follow-ing:

a) Defendant will give to plaintiff a portion of the land with an area of Thirty Eight point eighty five square meters only (38.85 sq. mtrs.) which is 3.7 x 10.5 m and the land where the ALLANA’S Meat Shop cur-rently situated. Furthermore, the building and other improve-ments erected or introduced on the aforesaid portion of land, where ALLANA’S Meat Shop is situated, are included in the aforesaid waiver made by defen-dant to plaintiff.

b) Plaintiff will cause for the Dismissal of the aforesaid case against herein defendants immediately upon execution of this agreement, dismissing the pending action with prejudice.

c) Each party releases the other from all rights and claims that they may have against the other arising from the dispute described above.

d) This agreement was the result of a negotiated settlement and may not be construed as having been prepared by any one party.

e) This agreement is in-tended to bind and benefit the

parties, their heirs, agents, legal representatives, assigns, and successors in interest.

xxx xxx xxx”While the second one is

between the plaintiffs and de-fendants spouses Nicanor and Priscila Cablao which contains substantially the same terms and agreements as the first one except one provision (par. a) which provides:

“xxx xxx xxx a) Defendant will give

to plaintiff a total amount of eight hundred thousand pesos (P800,000.00), Phil. Currency, only within a period one (1) year in installment basis at a rate of eighty thousand pesos (P80,000.00) per month until the full amount have been fully paid by the defendant.”

Considering that the fore-going Compromise Agreements reflect the voluntariness of the parties and the terms thereof are not contrary to law, morals, good customs and public policy, the said Compromise Agree-ments are hereby APPROVED.

WHEREFORE, judgment is hereby rendered in accordance with the terms of said Compro-mise Agreements. The parties are enjoined to comply strictly and in good faith with the terms and conditions set forth therein.

Sept. 28- Oct. 04, 2014

TO be sure, to be able to bear all, that is, all kinds of suffering, conflicts, contradictions, etc., is a mark of Christian maturity. It is one of the consequences of char-ity as St. Paul once said: “Charity...bears all things, be-lieves all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Cor 13,7)

We need to remind ourselves strongly about this truth and principle because we often invoke the cause of justice to get around this ideal. Obviously, we have to satisfy the requirements of justice, but we need to make sure we are clearly doing so in charity that would enable us to bear all things.

In short, there is no justice where there is no charity. And where there is no charity, there cannot be the capac-ity to bear all things. We would end up complaining and seeing the whole exercise is meaningless, devoid of any saving value.

In this regard, the model to follow is Christ, and not just our own idea, either simply held or sophisticated-ly developed, of how to bear all things, with justice and charity blended together.

In Christ, the capacity to bear all things is placed in its proper context and perspective, with the right reason and basis. More importantly, it is in Christ that we would have the power and energy to carry out that capacity.

In Christ, we would know the causes of all kinds of suffering that we would have to bear. Like him, we would not be turned off from suffering, much less, flee from it. We would look for it and embrace it, like a lover willing to do anything for his beloved.

Christ expands our all-too-often limited human esti-mation of the coverage of this capacity to bear. This pow-er to bear should not be understood simply in its physical dimension alone. It can cover moral anguish, spiritual pain and eventually death. It can take on anything. No suffering, no evil would be beyond its power to bear.

Even death itself is bearable and viewed positively as the very liberation of our limited, time-and-space bound earthly existence. Death would become the very gateway to our definitive eternal life.

In other words, in Christ, the reason and basis for this capacity to bear all things go beyond the merely natural and material. They extend to the moral, spiritual and su-pernatural. They have a religious and theological founda-tion and purpose, not just physical or social well-being.

It’s important that we are well-grounded in the theol-ogy behind suffering and behind our capacity to suffer, endure and bear all things. In this way, we would know how to react and behave when difficulties, trials, contra-dictions, failures and sin come our way.

We would know what dangers to avoid, what attitude to cultivate, what skills to develop. We always have to view things theologically, with faith always enlightening our reason and purifying our emotions and passions. We have to avoid being led simply by our feelings and mere human consensus and trends.

These human estimations of things are very vulnera-ble to all kinds of anomalies—anguish, bitterness, hatred, envy, greed, vanity, the urge for revenge, etc.

Especially in the field of politics, where controver-sies erupt like normal occurrences, when we express our views simply relying on our human estimation of things and without the spirit of Christ, there would unavoidably be an explosion of sarcasm, ironies, insults, fault-finding and mud-slinging, and eventually violence.

We would become overly sensitive and would react rather wildly, easily falling into rash judgments, sweeping generalizations and stereotyping, reckless statements. We would become intolerant, failing to see the validity of at least some parts of the views of others and would see one’s view as the only acceptable one.

On the other hand, when we try to follow Christ, we

Bearing all things

would know how to understand everyone even in their clearly erroneous positions. We can always conduct our dialogues civilly, quick to spot common grounds between opposing parties and to offer acceptable alternatives to break deadlocks.

We avoid creating unnecessary tension especially in those moments when the debate is most sharp. We would know what and when to give up and what to keep and to affirm irrespective of costs.

We would prefer defeat and even death than give up on something that ought not to be given up. In all this, we would still feel confident because we get to see the whole picture provided for us by our faith.

To be able to bear all things, we need to be vitally unit-ed with Christ, through prayers, sacraments, sacrifice and continuing ascetical struggle.

An abused Tagalog cliche states, “Sa ta-ong gusto maraming paraan at sa taong ayaw maraming dahilan.” Pres. Nonynoy Aquino though attempting to convey this adage was not able to quote it in such phrase but with his own convenient words during an interview while on his very recent trip abroad. Though uttered in divergent manner, the drift advanced the same idea, that is he is much willing to support all moves to keep himself in the presidential seat for another time. This, accodring to PNoy’s de-tractors is to the point of amending the 1987 Constitution to suffice this hunger for power.

What could be these means that will further the cause and achieve the end so desired? The First siblings, meaning PNoy and his siblings are known to have victored an a challenge which ob-jective their alleged allies are said to be advanc-ing now against all odds. This is even at the cost of a Charter Change in the guise of economic advancement of this third-world country.

Lately, the waters are rippling, disturbing the calm recesses of the people’s democratic pro-clivity. DILG Sec. Mar Roxas in one Manila-based TV interview broached the idea of PNoy extend-ing his term instead of him running for presi-dency in 2016 but carrying out the programs

Roxas, notwithstand-ing the good it offers those who stand to ben-efit from a second term of PNoy, stressed that such thought of the president’s extension only his personal view, not the PNoy administration neither the Liberal Party’s stance.

Was not the Aquino siblings proven to be master of such scheme? Was it not the same style they used that catapulted PNoy to power? Never could the memory of the greatness of the late Sen. Ninoy Aquino and the charm and equal popularity of the late Pres. Cory Aquino leave the mind of the electorate. In the necrological service at the funeral of this first lady president of the Philippines, PNoy’s celebrity sister floated a word purported to be a disvlosure of the lady president at her deathbed: the PNoy and Kris should continue what their parents have started.

This passing statement of the then ru-mored politically inclined screen star mothballed into a political avalanche that stepped the sup-posed presidential aspiration of Roxas. Now this

TACLOBAN CITY- The National Maritime Poly-technic (NMP) has an-nounced the temporary sus-pension of some of courses it is offering.

This was disclosed by NMP executive director Forter Puguon who said that temporary suspension of the courses was made pending results on the as-sessment of their compli-ance and accreditation from the Maritime Industry Au-thority (MARINA).

The suspension was en-forced since September 22, 2014 which includes cours-es on engine, deck, safety medical and security, envi-ronmental protection and maritime allied, while still offering faculty develop-ment courses.

“We are closely look-ing into reviewing all the requirements including fa-cilities, the trainors and of course the courses itself,” Puguon said in a press con-ference held at their office located in Barangay Cabala-wan, this city.

Puguon added that they had a meeting with MARI-NA on July 31 of this year and requested for an inspec-tion so that they will know what are still needed.

During the inspection it was found out that some of the courses lack some requirements prompting MARINA to temporarily suspend its trainings while complying with the require-ments.

“As to our view we can continue conducting but they have the final decision. We have to respect their de-cision to suspend. But MA-RINA respected our train-ings up to September 19 this year,” Puguon said.

Puguon said that there are still other maritime training schools in oth-er parts of the country al-though NMP is the only such facility that is run by

MARINA’s approvalthe government.

More than 50 percent of the trainees of the NMP are from the region while the rest are from Central Visayas and Mindanao regions.

“More than fifty percent of our seafarers are from Eastern Visayas followed by Cebu which comprise twenty five percent then Mindanao around ten to fifteen percent while others from different places in Luzon, they are the ones fully affected by the devastation and while wait-ing for our efforts to restore its full operation,” Puguon said.

Puguon added that sea-farers chooses NMP for maritime training because not only because due to its low fees but due to its good quality and high standard services.

The NMP has submitted its application for accredita-tion to MARINA August of last year which the latter has yet to take action.

He further added that NMP is now having a prob-lem on how they can refund the money of those who al-ready paid for the training.

He said that NMP has an annual master list schedule of trainings. And there were clients who already paid and scheduled their trainings up to December this year.

“Our problem now is how we can return the money to those who already paid for the trainings up to December and they cannot wait when we can fully operate. How can we return their money that we already submitted to the Bureau of Treasury, and we could not get that easily,” Puguon said.

Puguon assured their cli-ents that NMP will resume its services once they comply all the needed requirements adding that they are now fast tracking its rehabilita-tion after the devastation of Yolanda. (JENNIFER SUM-AGANG-ALLEGADO)

TACLOBAN CITY - Eastern Visayas business outlook drastically jumped to 51% for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 20.7% in the third quarter, citing businessmen con-fidence to rise up from the rubble as a result of superty-phoon Yolanda’s devastation.

Fernando Silvoza, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Department of Economic Statistics deputy director, said there is “positive perception for the region to move on and be able to rise from destruction.”

“I would say that because of continued assistance pro-vided by local and international NGOs, it raised the expec-tation of higher recovery,” he aded.

However, he warned that Yolanda-related assistance “should be taken as something that is not infinite.”

“That should be picked up by other industries here so that if the situation is normal, the local business will be able to sustain that growth,” Silvoza, who attended a BSP gath-ering here last September 16, said.

Asked to comment about economic impacts of the lim-ited operation of the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport, region’s

main airport based in Tacloban, the official stressed that it is only temporary.

“From many respondents perspective, the airport con-cern is temporary in nature. What is important is that the government is doing something and it removes negative short term sentiments. The response is long term and that spells out short term concern,” Silvoza said.

Since early September, the airport’s runway is closed to Airbus fleets, resulting to flight cancellations.

same proven-effective style is being utilized. In spite of the strong denial of Malacañang as be-ing behind the call for PNoy’s term extension, this insinuation could not escape the shadow of PNoy. Although this proposal for term extension of PNoy thru Chacha has good chance of sur-viving, not all sectors are favoring it, but rath-er take it as a desperate move to perpetuate themselves in power, giving a nil chance for a better leader to rule the country.

“If there is a will, there is a way,” says another overly used maxim. Just as how the

PDAF or the DAP is allegedly being attempted to be resurrected in the 2015 National Budget by Congress in a manner that will not be declared again by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional, the term extension by way of Chacha will defo itely finds its way, too. A democratic exercise, this issue of PNoy’s term extension is a crucial matter that every voter should ponder deeply and sct responsibly on.

a good way because we ourselves would identify what we need,” she stated.

“This would only be good if the people themselves are cooperative throughout this program. Otherwise, it would be useless,” said Mario Cuman.

Leah Beth P. Zalavarria, KALAHI-CIDSS area coordi-nator said that people’s voice will be heard so the commu-nity should really participate.

“We believe that if unity prevails in a community, de-velopment is immediately achieved,” Zalavarria said in ver-nacular.

As of now, implementers of the KALAHI-CIDSS have started gathering data and going to the different villages to introducee this program. Actual construction of projects will begin early of 2015.

Zalavarria said that municipalities that are eligible for this program are fourth up to sixth class municipalities with poverty incidence higher than the national average of 25 percent.

Oras, having a total population of 34,760, is a fourth class municipality with 51.08 percent poverty incidence. (Niza April M. Porteza, LNU Intern)

TACLOBAN CITY- From the Philippines to the Unit-ed Nations General Assembly on Climate Change in New York, victims of supertyphoon Yolanda in the country joined other environment advocates in the world to air their plight and demand justice.

Efleda Bautista, conve-nor of an alliance of Yolanda survivors People Surge, stood with other international rights groups for a “People’s Gener-al Assembly” in New York as an alternative gathering out-side the building where world leaders convened during the September 23 summit.

“We are here to claim jus-tice. The devastation caused by typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines is a wake-up call to leaders about the fatal con-sequences of global warming and climate change to people, especially from developing countries,” Bautista said.

Supporting the group are Campaign for People’s Goals for Sustainable Development, Asia Pacific Forum on Wom-en, Law and Development (APWLD), and IBON Inter-national.

A network of non-govern-mental organizations Rights Network claimed that reha-bilitation in Yolanda-stricken communities continues to be at a snail’s pace.

Ruelie Rapsing, the group’s

Yolanda victims bring fight to climate change summit in New

Yorkcommunication and develop-ment officer, said that “sur-vivors of the super typhoon, mostly from the farming and fishing communities, are still unable to avail of the support services and other programs from government agencies and aid groups” eleven months after Yolanda.

“Lack of tenurial instru-ments poses a major hin-drance in the delivery of sup-port services for the farmers and shelter programs for fisher folks,” Rapsing said.

To address this, Rapsing said that government must first settle land distribution and ownership among the vic-tims.

“The government should fast track the resolution of pre-existing tenure and prop-erty rights questions, partic-ularly the implementation of agrarian reform in favor of farmers with no land tenure security and land and housing rights for fisher folks with no housing tenure security,” he said.

The group is currently launching a signature cam-paign in Leyte and Samar to call on the government “to exercise its power of immi-nent domain to acquire lands for the relocation of survivors within areas accessible to their sources of livelihoods.” (RON-ALD O.REYES)
