waters off Balong-BalongPoint when it encounteredstrong winds and huge wavesaccording to Petty OfficerMichael Romero of theMaasin Coast Guard.

Despite the dangerous con-dition of the vessel, all 121 pas-sengers were safe, Romeroadded. The vessel, which wasowned by the Mandaue Citybased Sea Marine Transporta-tion company, and captained byZaldy Angot, left the port ofLipata in Surigao del Norte at

noon last Tuesday and wasscheduled to arrive at 3 that af-ternoon in Liloan town Romeroadded.

He said the vessel’s captaindecided to steam towards BinitPort when he noticed the ship'ssteering room was already un-derwater.

The vessel was less than amile from the newly openedBinit Seaport in San Ricardo atthe time, or 21 nautical milesfrom the town of Liloan.

According to Romero seawater had entered the ship'ssteering room and the vessel

was already tilting heavily toits right side.

He added that the vessel,which was used recently byPresident Arroyo, would havesunk, if the captain had pro-ceeded to Liloan.

Romero insisted the boatwas not overloaded since itcould carry up to 331 passen-gers. "It was the bad weatherthat caused the incident." heconcluded.

San Ricardo’s local officialsprovided the passengers withfood while they were strandedat the port.

Espina should not be in Congress

I am one of your avid fans and couldn't make my week without having readyour column "As I see It". All your write-ups were very informative and yourcomments and analysis were based on facts. Everytime I read your column Ialways see to it that I wrote every significant fact and analysis in my booklet sothat I can use it as my reference. But when I read your recent column on Attor-ney Domingo Espina, I put down my pen and closed my booklet, because hon-estly - I found that column as a display of "flowery statements" intended onlyto satisfy the frustrated nominee of COCOFED. I can't imagine Atty. Espinaas a congressman in the House of Representatives and I'm sure many of myfellow Libagonians cannot imagine it either. I ask you to visit our town and seehow miserable it is while Sogod, Liloan and other towns in Southern Leyte haveprogressed. If there's a legacy that Espina will leave behind maybe it's the 20million water system project that causes diarrhea, or the multi-million pesoabbatoir project that was ordered closed by the Department of Health.

If he has done nothing for Libagonians, which is only a very small town withfew constituents, what could he possibly do for his nationwide constituency asCOCOFED's sectoral Representative? I could agree with you when you de-scribed him as a good man, but not that he is qualified for the post.

Your Faithfull Reader,JE OF LIBAGON

MACROHON TOWN -The Department ofTrade and Industry Pro-vincial Office here in co-ordination with the Ger-man Technical Coopera-tion recently concluded atwo-day seminar onstreamlining the BusinessPermits and LicensingSystem (BPLS) for ten se-lected local governmentunits in Southern Leytefollowing its successfulperformance in MaasinCity.

DTI Provincial Direc-tor Micheal Nuñez en-couraged local govern-ment officials here toadopt the new BPL Sys-tem at the forum for mu-nicipal treasurers, invest-ment promotions officersand businessmen at theKuting Reef and Spa Re-sort in Macrohon.

Maasin City Treasurer

Eliseo Costillas claimedthat the dramatic in-crease in the city’s rev-enue collections frombusiness establishmentsin the first quarter of2009 was due largely toits adoption of the BPLSystem which it hasimplemented since lastJanuary.

Costillas said revenuefrom business taxes in-creased to P12.89 miilonduring the first semesterof 2009 as compared tothe P10 million it col-lected over the same pe-riod in 2008.

He also acknowledgedthe consistent inspectionof his city collection en-forcers of some 1,216business establishmentsin the city.

Costillas also said theyhad gained much fromthe Lakbay Aral orga-

nized by Mayor MaloneySamaco which broughtcity treasury officers tothe big cities in Manilawhere they learned fromother local governmentofficers.

The mayor’s executiveorder adopting the newsystem has shortened theprocessing of businesspermits significantly.

It achieved this by re-moving the Bureau of In-ternal Revenue, Social Secu-rity System, Philhealth, fireinspection and otherequirements which hadthe business sector in anuproar.

The streamlined busi-ness permit and licensingsystem now requires onlythree signatories, wherinthe past it requiredeleven. (By ERNA SYGORNE, PIA SOUTHERN

Hacked, Chopped and Hacked Again

BARANGAY KAHUPIAN, SOGOD TOWN - A 41 year old farmer from herewas badly mangled when he was nearly hacked to death by his fellow farmerand friend after they had an argument.

Their neighbors identified the victim as Samuel Olanti and his assailant as OliverMarayan.Police investigating the incident found that the two had been drink-ing, and all seemed well, when Maraya suddenly unsheathed his razon sharpsundang and began hacking and slashing the defenseless Olanti.

Marayan fled the crime scene after the bloodbath, but surrendered to policeauthorities later. Olanti is now confined at the Sogod District Hospital, wherehe is being treated, for stomach lacerations, and deep hack wounds on botharms. He is still in serious condition.

Illegal Lumber Confiscated

BARANGAY TAWOG, HINUNANGAN - A police team here led by PO3Johnny Lou recovered a large consignment of illegally cut lumber which hadbeen abandoned by loggers who fled when they saw the law enforcers approach-ing. The PNP team had gone to the site, when they were told by informers thatloggers were in the area, and preparing to move the lumber cache from thescene.

Residents in Barangay Tawog claim loggers have been active in the area forsome time, and they could hear the sound of chain saws in the surroundinghillsides for weeks.

The impounded lumber is now at the police station compound, and will be usedas evidence, if the culprits are ever caught and brought to trial.

US Junket

The bad news is there were too many congressmen who joined the presi-dent on her visit to the US where she had to explain her human rights recordand business deakings with China. The good news is that our own represen-tative was not among them. Congressman Mercado told SLT he declined theinvitation to join the president's entourage because he had too much to dohere. Good show old chap!

Visual Rape

A few days ago I witnessed a sad spectacle downtown. I was waiting formy son, who was buying fresh bread at Panny's Bakeshop, when a prettyblond teenage girl walked by with her Filipina friend. As she passed, somevagrants along the road started making French kiss sucking sounds, andmaking prurient remarks and gestures. Although its not wrong to appreciatebeauty, this was plain barbaric, and one wonders what these scalawags wouldhave done had the streets been dark and empty. How can we encouragetourists to come here when our menfolk act this way?

SP Ignores Global Warming

Last week the League of Regional Provincial Board Members of EasternVisayas held a forum on Global Warming with Presidential adviser on Cli-mate Change Heherson Alvarez as resource speaker. The forum highlightedthe urgency of preparing for the aftermath of climate change especially onour coastal communities. Meanwhile our own Provincial Board appears in-different about this coming “mother of all disasters” and hasn't even cre-ated a taskforce to prepare a plan to deal with it. We are therefore requestingour good friend Nene Escano to please do something about this.

PNP Silence is Deafening

Its been 240 days since an unidentified gunman on a motorcycle straffedthe editorial office of the Southern Leyte Times with a 45 caliber automaticpistol, and we still haven't received a formal report from the City PNP onthe status of their investigation. If they've reached a blank wall, which theyobviously have, could they at least return the 45 caliber shell casing andbullet that we found on the scene, so we can hang them on our office wall, toremind us that not everyone out there likes us.

Deadly Globeline Diggings

The mammoth excavations of Globelines in Leyte which has already causedthree deaths and numerous injuries has also damaged vital infrastructuresalong the national highway. Damage to water pipes and drainage facilitieshave not yet been assessed, but they will far exceed the P10 million bond theconstruction company has deposited for such exigencies.This bond shouldimmediately be sequestered to cover the cost for fixing these structures andthe contractor should be blacklisted.

Redundant DepEd Dialect policy

The Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education System which DepEdwill implement shortly is redundant. Secretary Jesli Lapus’s Executive Orderdated July 14, 2009 which mandates the use of the local dialect as the lan-guage of instruction in preschool and all elementary grades is senseless be-cause most teachers were already teaching in the local dialect.

Why? Because they have not mastered either English, or Filipino, wellenough to use it as their medium of instruction. We believe the DepEdorder is also invalid, since their is an existing Executive Order fromMalacanang requiring the use of Filipino or English in our schools. WhatSecretary Lapus should do is reinstate the teaching of Science and Tech-nology in grades 1 and 2.

SAN FRANCISCO --Filipino-Americans fretover a stark irony. Mar-tial law fears haveresurged precisely whenCorazon Aquino, whosparked “People Power”into smashing Marcosdictatorship, battles can-cer.

This irony will dogPresident GloriaMacapagal Arroyo whenshe meets President Bar-rack Obama on July 30.So will Fil-American ac-tivist Melissa Roxas’ ab-duction.

Under Leila de Lima,the once-flabby Commis-sion on Human Rightspieced together the six-day snatch and torture ofRoxas. The evidence con-firms State Department’sannual human rights re-ports of impunity thatcloaks abductors and tor-turers, both military andinsurgents.

Majority (58%) of Fil-Americans voted forObama. The 2007 cen-

Despite the recordnumber of standing ova-tions she received fromher allies in congresswhen she delivered herninth, and hopefully, lastState of the Nation Ad-dress, I am convincedPresident Arroyo is theworst president we havehad since the EDSA 1rebellion. The reason Ithink so is because shehas failed to address the3 major problems thathas prevented us fromjoining the booming tigereconomies of our Asianneighbors. Her 9 yearrecord as presidentspeaks for itself.

We have one of thehighest populationgrowth rate in the world,but still have no popula-tion control program, be-cause she is afraid it

would antagonize thepowerful Catholic Bish-ops Conference of thePhilippines.

We owe 11 trillion pe-sos to foreign lending in-stitutions and must bor-row just to cover our an-nual interest rate pay-ments on these loans.This leaves us almostnothing for capital in-vestments in education,health, basic infrastruc-tures and vital researchand development.

And because of she-nanigans like the ZTZbroadband and “HelloGarci” scandals - ourgovernment is now con-sidered by the interna-tional community as themost corrupt on earth.

Political analysts havelong debated the ratio-nale for the president’s

refusal to confront theseproblems, but the one Ilike best is SenatorManuel Villar’s who said:

“President Arroyo’snational policies arebased on FEAR; Fear ofthe Americans, Fear ofthe Japanese, and Fear ofany other people morepowerful than we are.”

In other words our na-tional policies are notbased on our self-inter-est, but the interest ofour powerful allies.

The second best an-swer came from formerPhilippine Daily Inquirercolumnist Larry Henareswho reportedly wrotethat “Inside three of ourfour post Marcos presi-dents was an Americantrying to get out.”

Could this have beenthe reason why PresidentArroyo was so depressedwhen then President-elect Barack Obamatook weeks to thank herfor her congratulatorymessage?

If we really want otherpeople to respect us, wemust show them that werespect ourselves.

sus tallied 3.1 million Fili-pinos in the US. They’rethe second largest AsianAmerican group. Almosthalf of Filipino immi-grants cluster in thisstate. Hawaii, New York,Illinois and New Jerseyaccount for smaller num-bers.

“We fought the MarcosConjugal Dictatorship,”three women leaders saidover dinner. “Whatmakes the Arroyo Conju-gal Autocracy think it canundo what Cory standsfor?”.

They oppose scrub-bing 2010 elections, mar-tial law or panicky char-ter change. They scoffedat the idea of installingMs Arroyo as caudillo ina transition revolutionarygovernment.

Security AdvisorNorberto Gonzalespeddled the transitoryjunta idea to the SupremeCourt chief justice. ButJustice Reynato Puno re-buffed him and, by impli-

cation, Gonzales’ shad-owy principal --the Presi-dent.

How deeply do Fil-Americans feel aboutthese issues? Scientificstudies are few and farbetween. Kids here arelike youngsters backhome. They have nomemories of martial law.Their world is of an-chored freedoms Adesaparecido, like JonasBurgos, is beyond them.

Ranks of those whofought Marcos are thin-ning. Those who sign upwith the Overseas Ab-sentee Voting Secretariatare few but articulate.Ex-defense secretaryAvelino Cruz’s July 22warning, before the Inte-grated Bar, howeverstoked concerns of many.

Stark Irony...From page 5

aspirants vow “to prosecute PresidentArroyo and First Gentleman Mike Ar-royo after she steps down,” Cruznoted. A president, who stays too long,is tempted to resist leaving. She fearslosing constitutional immunity. Whatabout the First Gentleman’s de-factoimmunity? Cruz didn’t delve into that.

Will the President snip terms fortoday’s heads of key Armed Forcesservices?, Cruz asked. That’d “pavethe way for the rise of PMA Class of1978” They could “run the securityapparatus tasked to secure the 2010elections?”

Armed Forces leaders assure usPMA class 1978 ’ll be spit n’ polish pro-fessionals. Did they forget the “Rolex12”? Or Military Commission No 1? Itsentenced Benigno Aquino to “deathby musketry.

PMA Class 71 became the “mailedfist” of the dictatorship, notes YaleUniversity study: “Closer Than Broth-ers.” Five among 85 graduates were tor-turers. Six were murdered. Others werecoup plotters. Look at Panfilo Lacsonand Gregorio Honasan. And Jose SanMartin’s words ring in your ears: “Howpoor the country that must suffer glo-riously triumphant generals.”

Retirements whittled down the Su-preme Court majority who thrashedArroyo’s “People’s Initiative”, Cruznotes.“The Court will soon have all itsjustices appointed by one President.

Recall the Chief Justice who’d trotafter Imelda Marcos holding her para-sol. Among other things, that Courtthen surrendered the power to rule onhabeas corpus petitions. BenignoAquino’s airport tarmac speech chal-lenged that capitulation. But anassassin’s bullet beat him to it.

“The martial law bogey is being usedto turn people against the government”,screamed everybody the Palace press-ganged into service: from Senator Juan

Miguel Zubiri, to Secretary RonaldoPuno and presidential adviser GabrielClaudio. "That was cheap of Cruz."

Hypocrisy is unlike bread. There isnever a short supply.” Thus, DefenseSecretary Gilbert Teodoro purrs:“President Arroyo would not use herpower for her own political gains. Takeit from the “Brat Pack” bouncer forEduardo Cojunagco’s coconut levy.Juan Ponce Enrile spark-plugged the“God Save the Queen” coups againstPresident Aquino. He now cites theConstitution, he tried to scrap, on lim-its of presidential terms.

President Aquino came to the US andaddressed a joint session of the USCongress. She led Asia’s first non-vio-lent revolution, since MahatmaGhandi’s march against the Salt Tax.That example spiraled intoCzechoslovakia’s “Velvet Revolt” andLebanon’s Cedar Revolution, amongothers. With integrity unquestioned,she ensured peaceful transition ofpower.

President Arroyo comes as a dimin-ished figure. She’ll posture as “leader”.Indeed, US and Philippine interests co-incide in areas like terror’s protractedconflict. But like Marcos and Estradabefore her, she is necklaced by sleaze.There’ is a Faustian desperation for alittle more time.

But this Oval Office doesn't workby the old "she-is-our-sob" rule. “Nocountry is going to create wealth if itsleaders exploit the economy to enrichthemselves, or police can be bought offby drug traffickers,” President Obamatold Ghana’s Parliament.

“No business wants to invest in aplace where the government skims 20percent off the top, or the head of thePort Authority is corrupt. No personwants to live in a society where the ruleof law gives way to the rule of brutal-ity and bribery. That is not democracy,that is tyranny, And now is the time forit to end.”

If the hat fits, wear it.

MAASIN CITY – The legal battle for theone hectare Abgao property claimed bythe provincial government and the fam-ily of former Governor Rosette Leriashas been halted by the Court of Ap-peals which has issued a Writ of Pre-liminary Injunction ordering both par-ties to honor the status quo.

This means the contending partiesmust leave things as they are, until theCA decides on the merit of JudgeBethany Kapili’s Writ of Execution or-dering the eviction of all occupants onthe property, and the demolition of thebuildings there as called for in his ear-lier ruling that the property belongedto the Lerias family; as agreed on bythe contending parties in a “quietingof the will” compromise agreementsigned by representatives of bothcamps.

The case was triggered by the pro-vincial government’s questioning ofthe legality of Judge Kaplili’s Writ ofExecution which ordered the evic-tion of all occupants and the demoli-tion of all edifices on the land. Theorder which was dated July 9, 2009and signed by Associate Justices Fran-cisco Acosta, Rodel Zalameda andAmy Lazaro Javier claimed the two re-quirements necessary for the Writ ofInjunction were present.

This means they believe there ex-isted “a clear and unmistakable rightthat must be protected,” and that therewas “an urgent and paramount neces-sity for it to prevent serious damage.”

The contested property is locatedat the center of the city’s commercialdistrict and is believed to be worthmillions.(By ANTHONY KINGS)
