ORCHAM, headed by Jude P. Abenoja, formally turns over trash bins for recyclable bottles to the Local Government Unit of Ormoc on April 26, 2019. The trash bins are now placed in public places and government establishments around the city. In fact, these were used during the city’s hosting of EVRAA 2019. The Tzu Chi Foundation, on the other hand, will do the daily collection of the recyclable bottles. Accordingly, the project is a joint project of the private sector and government offices: ORCHAM; EDC thru its CSO Head, Erwin Magallanes, as represented by Jojo Paredes; PMPC thru its General Manager, Roberto P. Decio; and LGU-Ormoc headed by Mayor Richard I. Gomez. (By Dailyn Cabarse)

MANILA – The Second Division of the Commission on Elections has dismissed the disqualification case filed against Leyte 4th district Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez by two Ormocanons for having no basis.

The congresswoman is seeking her last term in office on May 13, 2019, however, the petitioners against her are claiming it is her fourth term, which is a violation of the three-term rule.

Petitioners Noelito Wagas and Jeffrey Dubal, known loyalists of Torres-Gomez’s political foe Eufrocino Codilla Jr., claims that even if Rep. Gomez was ordered disqualified in 2013 after she substituted husband Richard Gomez, she continued to report to Congress and functioned as congresswoman.

In her defense, Rep. Lucy T. Gomez said that the petition against her was base-less. She said that after her 2010 win was questioned with a quo warranto, she was dropped from the House of Representa-tives in March 2013 after the Supreme Court ruled that there was a “lack of proper substitution”.

The Supreme Court further said that Lucy, “who ran as Richard’s substitute, was not a bonafide candidate and could not have been validly elected”.

In the 2010 elections, Lucy routed her current political rival by 24,701 votes. She would be disqualified in 2013, not finishing her three terms.

In 2013, on her first legitimate term, Lucy ran against the younger brother of Eu-frocino, Eric Codilla, who was incumbent mayor of Ormoc City, and won over him by more than 35,000 votes. In 2016, Lucy was again challenged by a Codilla sister-in-law, Violy, who lost by more than 53,000 to her.

CALBIGA, SAMAR – 6 soldiers were killed, while 6 were wounded, in a four-hour gun battle with communist rebels in an interior village of this town Tuesday morning (April 23).

Killed in action were Cpl. Junurimbran Mamalo Jr., Cpl. Edgar Abing, PFC. Arthur Garcia, PFC. Rufino Paster Jr., PVT. Danilo Constantino Jr. and PVT. Elben Lagrimas.

Also reported wounded are Sgt. Gilbert Benito Jr., Cpl. Reymart Vigilia, PFC. Dar-

win Magoncia, PFC. Mark Kevin Frigillana, PFC. Joseph Salonga and PFC. Rex Espanol.

Initial information disclosed that at least 20 armed members of suspected New People’s Army (NPA) detonated an impro-vised explosive device (IED) around 2:45 a.m. after spotting the patrolling soldiers in the upland village of Beri, about 12 kilome-ters away from the town proper.

This prompted a firefight between the troops of the 46th Infantry Battalion led by Sgt. Gilbert Benito and NPAs reportedly led by Joedario Nablo, Eldefonso Nablo and Eddie Abina.

The wounded soldiers were airlifted to Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center

(EVRMC) in Tacloban City for immediate medical attention.

Maj. Gen. Raul Farnacio, Commander, Joint Task Force “STORM”, directed a pur-suit operation against the fleeing CNTs and acknowledge the civilians for providing the information on the presence and activities of the CNTs.

In his statement, Maj. Gen. Farnacio said that: “I convey my deepest condo-lences to the families, relatives, friends, and loved ones of our unsung heroes who paid the ultimate supreme sacrifice for peace and development in Eastern Visayas.” The

sEE FAMILY CIRCLE p. 7

ORMOC CITY – 79 stu-dent-farmers of the Cli-mate-Smart, Farmer Field School on Corn and Rice Production, received their certificates of completion during their culmination program on April 24, 2019 at the City Agriculture Office, Ormoc Agri-Tech Bldg., San Pablo, this city.

Ormoc City Vice-Mayor Leo Carmelo L. Locsin, Jr. and Councilor Tomas R. Serafica graced the special celebration of the farmers.

Accordingly, a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach that helps and guides farmers in trans-forming and/or reorient-ing agricultural systems to ensure food security amidst changing climate. CSA aims to: sustainably increase farmers’ productivity and income; adapt and build resilience to climate change;

The farmer-graduates with their families and with Ormoc City Vice-Mayor Leo Carmelo Locsin, Jr.and Ormoc City Councilor Tommy Serafica.

and reduce and/or remove greenhouse gas emissions.

Under the CSA pro-gram, the farmers were trained for four months.

For the corn produc-tion, participants were from the Dolores Farmers As-sociation (DOLFA), which

included seven males and 19 females for a total of 26 farmer-graduates.

For the rice production, participants were from Ba-rangays Labrador (13), Sa-bang Bao (13), Valencia (13), and Maticaa (14), for a total of 53 farmer-graduates.

The two city officials ap-plauded and congratulated the graduates, honoring them in their respective mes-sages to them, encouraging them to put into practice what they have learned and gained from the CSA pro-gram. By Dailyn Cabarse

ORMOC CITY – The Leyte 4th District Engineering Office’s (DEO) Material Testing Laboratory was able to successfully meet the Two-Star Category, pursuant to Department Order No. 126, Series of 2016, following the results of the assessment/evalua-tion released by the Bureau of Research and Standards (BRS) – Central Office on March 2019.

Findings/Observations during the re-assessment, meanwhile, are the follow-ing: DEO’s Testing Labora-tory has a complete labo-ratory testing apparatus/equipment for the conduct of quality test on Portland cement and Asphaltic Mate-rials/Asphalt Mixes. It also has 6 Engineers assigned in the Quality Assurance Sec-tion that meets the require-ment for Second Class DEO, moreover, all laboratory technicians have completed 40 hours of seminar/train-ing on materials testing procedures conducted by the Regional Office.

Observance of Healthy and Safety is also apparent, per the assessment’s find-ings/observations. Further-more, it reported that fire extinguisher and personal protective equipment for the health and safety of the laboratory personnel were provided; and, additionally, adequate supply of electric-ity and water, which are essential in testing activi-ties, were observed in the laboratory.

Finally, the report stated that the working area, which measures 118 sqm, meets the two-star requirement of 61-80 sqm; and calibration of the apparatus/equip-ment is done annually as per D.O. 118, Series of 2015.

This upgrading, ac-cordingly, from one-star category to two-star cat-egory is important to the Leyte 4th DEO as it can already allow contractors to have their materials tested instead of having it tested in private companies, thus, fast-tracking of the project can be efficiently done. (PR)

OVERSEAS WORKERS’ Welfare Administration (OWWA) Regional Wel-fare Office VIII continues to intensify its mission of providing fast and efficient service to its clients around

9 Types of Motivation

sEE MOTIVATION p. 12 sEE HEALTH p. 8

WHAT NO ONE tells you when you first begin working towards your dreams are that motivation is the key to everything!

Without motivation, there will be no fuel to the fire so to speak. You would have no drive to achieve everything you have ever wanted and there would be no reason to move forward!

But what is motivation?If you’re looking to achieve your goals

and you need some help, learn more about how these 9 types of motivation will make it possible to reach your dreams.

The Two Main Categories of Motiva-tion

Different types of motivation fall into two main categories. They are:

1. Intrinsic motivation is a type of motivation in which an individual is being motivated by internal desires. For example, let’s say an individual named Bob has set himself a goal to begin losing weight and becoming healthier. Let’s also imagine that Bob’s reason to pursue this path of fitness and wellness is to improve his health over-all and feel more happier with his appear-ance. Since Bob’s desire to change comes from within, his motivation is intrinsic.

2. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is a type of motivation in which an individual is being motivated by external desires. Rather than being motivated by the need to look better and feel healthier, let’s say that Bob was feeling pressure from his wife to slim down and improve his phy-sique so that she would be more attracted to him. Since this pressure comes from the outside, this is an example of extrinsic motivation.

All types of motivation are going to fall into one of the two categories above. Now that we’ve covered these motiva-tional types and provided you with some examples, here are minor forms of motiva-tion that are capable of making a big impact in your life!

3. Reward-Based Motivation or Incen-tive Motivation is a type of motivation that is utilized when you or others know that they will be a reward once a certain goal is achieved. Because there will be something to look forward to at the end of a task, people will often become more determined to see the task through so that they can receive whatever it is that has been promised. The better the reward, the stronger the motivation will be!

4. Fear-Based Motivation: The word “fear” carries a heavy negative meaning but when it comes to motivation, this is not necessarily the case. Anyone who is big on goal setting and achievement knows that accountability plays a huge role in follow-ing through on goals. Fear-based motiva-

HAVE YOU EVER wondered why most of us have a round scar on our left arm? This is called our BCG scar. It is the vac-cine for Tuberculosis. BCG is not given to children in first-world countries like the USA because TB is rare in that part of the World. However for Philippines, TB remains one of the top 10 common causes of deaths. Thus, every one of us gets vac-cinated when we were young, following the recommendations of the Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Vaccination is aimed to prevent many diseases. With immunization, it helps the body develop defenses, which can help fight a person combat infections.

Celebrated every last week of April, World Immunization Week aims to pro-mote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against vaccine-preventable diseases. Immunization saves millions of lives every year and is widely recognized as one of the world’s most successful and cost-effective health discovery and inter-ventions. Yet, there are still nearly 20 mil-lion unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children in the world today. And sadly, the DOH claims immunization rate in our country recently plummeted for the past years.

The theme of this year’s campaign is, “Protected Together: Vaccines Work!”, and the campaign will celebrate Vaccine Heroes from around the world – from parents and community members to health workers and innovators – who help ensure we are all protected, at all ages, through the power of vaccines. (But it is a bit ironic for the Philippines that instead of doing such, some people even sued the researchers involved in vaccine development here in our country!).

An estimated 2.9 million Filipino chil-dren are unvaccinated and remain vulner-able to life-threatening diseases such as measles, rubella and polio. UNICEF wants to highlight this as it marks World Immu-nization Week from 24-30 April.

The measles immunization coverage in the Philippines has declined at an alarming rate. It dropped from 88 percent in 2013 to 73 percent in 2017. In 2018, measles im-

munization coverage was recorded at less than 70 percent, far below the 95 percent required for population immunity. Public hesitancy, vaccine stock-outs, the lack of aptly trained health workers and acces-sibility of hard-to-reach areas put many children susceptible to diseases. This leads to more outbreaks and put more children at-risk of getting sick from life-threatening diseases. On top of that, such health advo-cacies seemed NOT to be a priority of the current administration as it is more geared towards politics; not realizing that the (economic) growth of a country rests on a healthy population.

“Every child has the right to the best possible health care and access to disease protection through timely vaccination. Vac-cines are the safest and most effective way of saving lives,” says UNICEF Representa-tive a.i. Julia Rees.

Our Philippine laws support immu-nization through the “Mandatory Infants and Children Health Immunization Act” or Republic Act 1052 that makes basic immunization mandatory and free at any government hospitals or health centers for infants and children up to five years of age. UNICEF advocates that the unfinished business of immunization is every child’s right and everyone’s business.

Increasing immunization coverage re-quires everyone to work together urgently, not only health workers. While parents should be educated and caregivers be properly trained, it is mainly everyone’s responsibility to have all children get im-munized. Everyone in the community has a role in ensuring that all children, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized, are immunized according to schedule. Local leaders, religious groups, the academe, non-government organizations, friends and family of parents with children, and influ-encers have a role in making sure every child is reached with the right information and that parents are empowered to make the right decisions.

The government through the Depart-ment of Health, in partnership with UNI-

GOD’S ORIGINAL WILL for us has not changed at all despite the mess we cre-ated. That original will continues to be his ultimate will for us. And that is that we truly become his image and likeness, meant to share in his life and nature in our definitive status, which we hope to obtain at the end of time in heaven.

We have to be clear about this funda-mental truth about us, especially since it is about our primordial relation with our Creator. Yes, in spite of the total unwor-thiness we all feel about this God-given dignity of ours, that truth holds. We cannot do anything to change or modify it. We just have to accept it and try our best to comply with God’s will for us.

We need to proclaim this truth more widely, because inspite of the significant catechesis done since time immemorial, this truth has not yet entered deep in the minds and hearts of many people. Many are still ignorant of it or have not realized the full implications of such truth.

Of course, there are those who still need to be convinced that there is God and that we come from him and not just from our parents. They certainly require a major conversion. But even among those who are supposed to be believers already, it cannot be denied that many do not have a clear idea about God’s ultimate will for us, which should actually be their ultimate purpose in life also.

That is why, many are entangled in worldly and temporal affairs, in varying degrees of success and failure, without real-izing that everything in their life is meant to lead them to achieve God’s will for us.

In other words, many still do not realize that our creation is still a work in progress, and that we need to keep our relation with God alive and vibrant if only to make sure that we are heading in the right direction. Many still have a weak sense of religion.

Of course, this ultimate will of God for us is manifested to us in different levels. We have the Ten Commandments, which can be described as the Old Law, a summary of the natural law that is supposed to prepare and dispose us to the New Law that would convert us into God’s image and likeness, children of his.

Part of God’s will is expressed in the duties inherent in our state of life and the different positions we occupy in life. These duties that spring from some earthly au-thority like our parents, the state, etc., also express God’s will since the authority that commands them is always a participation in the authority of God. (cfr. Rom 13,1)

God’s will is fully expressed in the New Law, which is the law of grace, the law that identifies us with Christ himself. It is what brings about the supernatural life in us. It enables us to live the beatitudes and to be another Christ, ‘alter Christus’, much like

what St. Paul said: “It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me.” (Gal 2,20)

IN MARCH AND April of 1973, all of us were thrilled to see on television hundreds of American prisoners of war returning to their homeland. Among them was one who had not been expected to return. Why? It was Marine Sergeant Ronald Ridgeway whose parents live in Houston, Texas. In 1968, Ridgeway was reported killed in action in Vietnam. His supposed remains were shipped back to America and his funeral was held.

Then suddenly Ridgeway’s name ap-peared on a list of prisoners held by the Vietcong. Even these godless Communista felt that his family would be happy to see their son alive. Yes, Ridgeway was alive, a little pale and thin but alive.

Today, we honor another hero who re-ally did die – on a Cross whose real body was really buried with a big stone in front of his and who really rose from His grave.

There was confusion and error regarding the death and burial of Ser-geant Ridgeway but there was no error regarding Christ. No fact in history is as clear and certain as the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ because no fact has been attacked more often. Yet, the fact remains.

The family, friends and fellow Ameri-cans of Sergeant Ridgeway celebrated his return, his resurrection, as it were; they waved flags, cheered, decorated their homes and streets, gave parties and din-ners, sang and spoke in his praise.

For 1900 years, we, followers, of Christ have celebrated His resurrection. We paint Easter eggs: Christ comes from the tomb as a chick from the egg. We don new clothes, signs of a new Easter life. We decorate with flowers: they tell of Spring’s rebirth.

We wish one another Easter happiness, the true joy of

Christ bringing life to all. But the ideal celebration takes place

on the altar. During the Mass, He not only dies again but He rises again. We sing His praises with hymns and with the words of the Mass itself. We repeat the greetimgs of the risen God-man: Peace! We receive our risen Lord in Holy Communion, a pledge that our bodies will rise someday with His.

When family and friends hold parties and receptions for Sergeant Ridgeway, they knew what they were celebrating. So must we keep in mind what we are celebrating – the resurrection of our Redeemer. In His spirit, in His victory over death and the grave, in His joy and peace, we can wish one another what I wish to every one of you – a Happy, Triumphant Easter. God bless you!

rrrNo doubt about it, Easter Sunday is the

highest Sunday of the year. It is here that Jesus triumphed over death. We are, there-fore, saved because all of us are sinners. Jesus redeemed us from eternal perdition. Alleluia!

We are luckier today because the protocol of observance before was more stringent. Abstinence from solids started on the midnight of Easter Sunday. It was reduced to four hours before Mass then it was reduced some more to one hour until the present one hour before Communion time. It only shows that the Church goes with the times. Look at the praying of the Pater Noster. We now add the Doxology after the prayer. Remember: for thine is the kingdom...

MANY YEARS AGO, agricultural educa-tion was on the decline. Agriculture in schools was considered the second rate option and very few students were se-lecting it for higher education. Much of this was based on perception of potential students and the misplaced interpretation of data by authorities.

The image of agriculture is slowly be-ing transformed. It is now recognised that agriculture is about more than farms – there is a very large support industry looking for graduates in agriculture. Data shows that there are several jobs around Australia and New Zealand for instance, for every agricultural graduate.

Industry attitudes have been trans-formed, as well. Most now see capacity and leadership as key issues for their respective industries. Workforce planning and devel-opment of associated career paths is a key part of the agenda going forward.

The jobs themselves are also trans-forming. While the sector still needs many agronomists and livestock specialists, on-farm manual labor is being replaced by high-tech systems such as GPS and remote sensing technologies including robots and drones.

This means that higher order manage-ment skills are needed and, in turn, these require greater computer expertise. Off-farm, as well as on-farm, the use of smart technologies is now well rooted.

Along the value chain, new jobs are being created and old ones changed with

a strong agenda of traceability and quality assurance. All of these are facilitated by so-phisticated financiers, international traders and marketers all of whom benefit from a strong agricultural education.

While the academe and industry have led the way, political engagement has also played its part in driving this change, as it is now recognised that agriculture must play a vital role in export earnings as well as the quality of life everyone.

The result is that agriculture is now foremost on the agenda of educational insti-tutions with some universities entering the field for the first time as they see the need and opportunity. Student numbers at uni-versities have been rising for the last four to five years. It would be greater still if only more agriculture teachers could be hired.

Agriculture should not rest on its laurels and need to continue promoting the positive image and communicating the great opportunities that exist. The Green Revolution that Norman Borlaug set 50 years ago saved many of the world’s poorest people from starvation, but the principles on which that was founded are under attack with many suspicious and fearful of biotechnology.

Critics of the scientific approach to the new challenges of feeding a growing global population say the future should be in organic farming. I think that we should take a more realistic look at its promise and limitations.

Third Sunday of EasterMay 5, 2019

John 21:1-19At that time, Jesus revealed himself

again to his disciples at the Sea of Tibe-rias. He revealed himself in this way.

Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two others of his disciples.

Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We also will come with you.”

So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. When it

was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.

Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?” They an-swered him, “No.”

So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.”

So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.”

When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards, dragging the net with the fish.

When they climbed out on shore, they

PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE is in China with about more than 30 heads of state for the belt and road forum, a global infrastructure project at the core of China’s ambitions and win over those who see a strategic threat.

President Duterte in his opening statement, while sitting down with China’s President Xi Jinping, telling him the occasion gave President Duterte “an-other opportunity to renew and reaffirm our valued relations based on mutual trust, respect and friendship, and must continue to grow strength and meaning in the coming years.” In his response, Xi said Mr. Duterte as a “genuine fiend and trusted partner”.

The two heads of state, Duterte and Xi, try to reaffirm ties amidst the brewing trouble and tensions over Pag-asa inside the West Philippine Sea and the unchal-lenged environmental degradation of the area by several Chinese militias and fishing vessels, which entered the Philippine terri-

tory without any permit.But there was no open discussion over

the growing tension in Pag-asa island by the two heads of state. Their discussions were closed to the media and there was no confirmation that Presidents Duterte and Xi ever tackled the dispute. There was news though over the grant of about 1 Billion Yuan to the Philippines by China, which was received by President Duterte. Was this grant by China a form of payment over its deployment of its Chinese militia and fishing vessels in Pag-asa island?

rrrThe Philippines has imposed a dead-

line to Canada to receive the export of trash it sent to the Philippines way back in 2013 and 2014 or it might derail the good rela-tions it maintained with the country over the past 70 years. The Bureau of Customs should try to locate the importers of the said garbage and impose the necessary fines and penalties for importing the said trash.

PALO, LEYTE – Department of Tourism 8 (DOT-8) regional director Karen Tiopes urged netizens to respect customs and traditions, following posts and comments mocking “Tais-Dupol”, an all-male hooded religious group Penitentes who would regularly take part of the Holy Week observance at Palo Cathedral.

“While I understand that the costumes worn by our Penitentes are similar to the ones worn by the Klu Klux Klan, we hope that instead of bashing, they try to find out the beginnings of this age-old tradition,” she said in a statement.

HistoryThe late Palo archbish-

op Msgr. Benjamin Bacierra wrote that Palo town was already a Filipino settlement when the Spaniards came in 1521.

It became the capital of Leyte in 1768 when Samar was separated from Leyte and again in 1901 under the revolutionary army of General Vicente Lukban.

Since Palo is an old town, it has a long religious tradition. The Augustinian, Jesuit, and Franciscan mis-

sionaries who served the region certainly influenced the religious tradition.

“Among the town’s practices during Lent is the reenactment of Christ’s passion around Palo. The Penitentes take their root from the Penitentes or Naz-areños – men and wom-en wearing cone-shaped hoods that cover their faces. As a form of sacrifice, they carry religious statues and icons in daily processions of the weeklong celebration of the Semana Santa of An-dalusia, Spain, which dates back to the 15th century,” he wrote.

The confraternity of the Penitentes was introduced and organized in 1894 by Fr. Pantaleon de la Fuente, a Franciscan Friar and a native of Spain, who served

as Parish Priest of Palo from 1887 to 1898, he added.

He was then cabecera or head of Leyte. He desired to give a more dramatic col-or to the episode of Christ’s suffering, crucifixion, death and burial. To achieve this end, he ordered from Barce-lona, Spain, several sculp-tured figures depicting the different incidents of Christ’s passion.

Father de la Fuente also ordered robes in three colors that were worn by the individuals who be-came the nucleus of what is now known as the Palo Penitentes. Membership is reserved for men only.

The robes are similar to those of the Klu Klux Klan in the United States. They wear hoods with slits for the eyes.

According to him, the hoods in Palo are either pointed (tais) or blunt (du-pol). Hence the popular name of “Tais-Dupol.”

A 55-year old devotee

said he has been a peni-tente since 1972.

“We have an organi-zation of devotees, which has a series of activities to renew our faith. We hold stations of the cross for 7 Fridays before this week to prepare ourselves,” he shared.

Penitentes who walk barefoot receive donations from pilgrims, which they

use to finance the reenact-ment.

Crowd attractionDespite the comments,

Tiopes maintained that they would not change the cos-tumes of the Penitentes, whose presence is a crowd attraction in Palo.

“We are proud of our traditions. We will stand by our tradition,” Tiopes said.

The tourism official,

however, said they take the comments on a “positive note”.

“Given the attention and reactions it is generat-ing, we trust that those who made comments will find time to read more about ‘Tais-Dupol’ and other local customs, traditions and rites practiced in different parts of the country,” she said. By Marie Tonette Marticio

Filipinos used to vote every 2 years from 1946 to 1971MANILA (PNA) – As this year’s May 13 mid-term elections come closer, many of the country’s millennial voters may be interested to know that the Filipino peo-ple used to go to the polls ev-ery two years in November under the 1935 Constitution, instead of today’s second Monday of May.

The elections under the 1935 Charter were classified as national (for the presi-

dent and vice president), local, and senatorial (for eight of the 24 members of the Senate).

Section 3, Article VI (Legislative Department) of the 1935 Constitution stated, “The first sena-tors elected under this Constitution shall, in the manner provided by law, be divided equally into three groups, the senators of the first group to serve

for a term of six years, those of the second group, for four years, and those of the third group, for two years.”

The biennial elections used to take place on the second Tuesday of No-vember, from 1946 until November 1971, when the last local and senatorial elections were held under the 1935 Constitution due to the abolition of Con-

gress with the declaration of a nationwide state of martial law on September 21, 1972 by then president Ferdinand E. Marcos.

It is also worth men-tioning that under Section 1 of Article V (Suffrage) of the same Charter, the right of suffrage was exercised only by Filipinos who were

“The 46th IB extends our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those killed. They died pro-tecting the Filipino people and in pursuit of peace and development,” he said.

At least 20 guerilla reb-els ambushed and detonat-ed a landmine around 2:45 a.m. Tuesday (April 23) after spotting the patrolling sol-diers in the upland village of Beri, about 12 kilometers away from the town proper.

This prompted a four-hour firefight between the soldiers led by Sgt. Gilbert Benito and NPAs report-edly led by Joedario Nablo, Eldefonso Nablo and Eddie Abina.

PEACEMAKERS ... from P. 2

ARNOLD MERCADO is fondly called by his circle of friends as “Mama Ru”. Yet, during the homecoming press conference for Mau-reen Montagne, the newly crowned Miss Eco International 2019, his new monicker became “Mama World”, because he is now the new general manager of Miss World Philippines Organization (MWPO), the entity responsible for the staging of Miss World Philippines and Mr. World Philippines.

Mr. Mercado is not new to the pageant industry. Prior to his appointment as MWPO’s GM, he was one of the pillars of Aces & Queens (A&Q) beauty camp.

In his piece-de-resis-tance, he said: “It’s an honor and once-in-a-lifetime op-portunity to be chosen as the new GM of MWPO. This is my passion and I will surely give my utmost dedi-cation to the job. The same passion that I dedicated to all my past endeavors.”

Likewise, he’s the op-erations manager of Empire Studio, a media and produc-tion company spearheaded by A&Q founder and men-tor, Jonas Gaffud. Jonas is

known to be the main-man that produced a Pia Wurtz-bach, who is Miss Universe 2015.

For more than two de-cades, Arnold worked with SHELL Gasoline. “I was introduced to ALV (Arnold L. Vegafria) by my good friend, Louie Heredia,” he said.

“Expect a new branding for MWPO. A new different Miss World. That’s more competitive, relevant and prestigious,” said Arnold.

Mama World was ap-pointed to the position in anticipation of the forthcom-ing Mr. World pageant set in Manila from the 16th of July where candidates starts coming in. On the 4th of

August will be the pageant coronation night.

Crown Plaza Manila Galleria will be the official residence of the gorgeous contestants. Marked your

at least 21 years of age. This was different from the pres-ent voting age of 18 years as provided for in the 1973 and 1986 Constitutions.

The terms of office of the elected officials began on December 30 following the election. Again, this differed from June 30, the current start of the term of office of elected officials under the 1987 Constitution.

According to the Records and Statistics Division of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), the last election under the 1935 Constitution was held on November 8, 1971 for eight of the 24 senators and local officials, such as members of the House of Representatives, governors, vice governors and provincial board members, city and municipal mayors, vice mayors and councilors.

The then opposition Liberal Party took five seats in the Senate while three seats went to the administration party, the Nacionalista Party. That election took place barely two-and-a-half months after the Plaza Miranda bombing on August 21, 1971, which wounded most of the LP’s senatorial candidates.

Those who emerged winners were senators Jovito Sa-longa (LP), Genaro Magsaysay (LP), John Henry Osmeña (LP), Eddie Ilarde (LP), Eva Estrada Kalaw (NP), Ramon Mitra Jr. (LP), Ernesto Maceda (NP), and Alejandro Almen-dras (NP). However, their terms were cut short due to the declaration of martial law.

Following is a list of the 16 political exercises held under the 1935 Constitution (1946-1971), according to the Comelec’s Records and Statistics Division:

April 23, 1946, national election; March 11, 1947, plebiscite; Nov. 11, 1947, local and senatorial elections; Nov. 8, 1949, national election; Nov. 13, 1951, local and senatorial elections; Nov. 10, 1953, national election;

USED TO VOTE ... from P. 6Nov. 8, 1955, local and senatorial elections; Nov. 12, 1957, national election; Nov. 10, 1959, local and sena-torial elections; Nov. 14, 1961, national election; Nov. 12, 1963, local and senatorial elections; Nov. 9, 1965, national election; Nov. 14, 1967, local and senatorial elections; Nov. 11, 1969, national election; Nov. 10, 1970, election of 1971 Constitutional Convention delegates; and Nov. 8, 1971, local and senatorial elections.

The special national election of April 23, 1946 was held in accordance with Commonwealth Act No. 725. It was won by Manuel A. Roxas as president and Elpidio Quirino as vice president.

According to Wikipedia website, the March 11, 1947 plebiscite ratified the parity amendment to Article XIII of the 1935 Constitution, which reserved the exploitation of the country’s natural resources only for Filipinos. That amendment granted United States citizens and corpora-tions equal rights with the Filipinos in the exploitation of natural resources.

The November 14, 1967 plebiscite was timed with the local and senatorial elections that year for the voters to decide on certain Charter amendments, including an increase in the number of congressional seats from 120 to 180 and allowing senators and congressmen to serve as delegates to the 1971 Constitutional Convention (ConCon) without forfeiting their seats. Both proposals were rejected in the plebiscite.

In the November 10, 1970 election, the people voted for 320 delegates to the 1971 ConCon that was proposed to frame a new Constitution.

The delegates convened on June 1, 1971, but the delib-erations of this body were also overtaken by the imposition of martial law.

CEF, the World Health Organization, and other partners should (1) Strengthen the immunization supply chain; (2) Build and improve the capacity of health workers involved in immunization at the national and local levels; (3) Develop guidelines and monitoring tools; (4) In-troduce innovations in the vaccine cold chain like the use of solar refrigerators in case of disasters; (5) Empower local health sectors by establishing health boards through the LGU and enacting ordinances; and (6) Help health workers communicate health messages effectively to the general population.

As for parents, it is your responsi-bility to get your children vaccinated because for the past few hundreds of years, the benefits from vaccination has been proven to outweigh its risks. Once a child is born, do not fail to get the im-munization schedule before going home; and follow it as instructed, either by the pediatrician, local health nurse or the midwife. It has been long proven that im-munized children have a higher chance of survival than those who are not.

NO. 88, S-2019WHEREAS, any organization, or group of people united and sharing

mutual purpose, interest, or work, as business establishment, enterprise, firm, club, society, government, government agency, nation, etc., may have a logo of its own;

WHEREAS, a logo is an identifying symbol to advertise something or make a distinction of a particular entity; and

WHEREAS, there has been created a logo for the municipality of Villaba which needs to be elucidated and legalized,

WHEREFORE, on motion by the Hon. Rogelio J. Baay, duly sec-onded by Hon. Kathleen V. Mape and Hon. Violeta T. Sumapig, Be it;

RESOLVED, as the Sangguniang Bayan of Villaba Leyte, hereby resolved, to enact Ordinance No. 88 , S- 2019 to wit:

MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE NO. 88, S-2019AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING APPROPRIATE DESCRIPTION AND

APPROVAL OF THE CREATED LOGO OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF VILLABA

Be it ordained by the Sangguniang Bayan in regular session as-sembled that:

ARTICLE IGENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 1. Title – This ordinance shall be cited as “An Ordinance Providing Appropriate Description and Approval of the Created LOGO of the Municipality of Villaba.”

Section 2. Coverage – This municipal law involves the making of a clear verbal account of the created logo and giving approval thereof.

Section 3. Defination of Terms – as used in this ordinance, the fol-

lowing terms shall mean:a. Elucidation - the act of making clear or plain; clarification b. Protrusion – the act of sticking out or causing to stick outc. Salient – Prominent, Conspicuous d. Uppermost – in or into the highest or most highly noticeable

position ARTICLE II

DESCRIPTION OF THE LOGOSection 4. Description – This LOGO is somewhat rectangular in

form with rather corrugated lines a little bit tapering on top and a base line having a small downward protrusion in the center. A vertical line is drawn from the tip of the protrusion in the base to the horizontal line below the uppermost portion of the frame. Above the horizontal line is a half figure of the sun with rays and three stars forming an imaginary triangle.

The vertical line creates two proportional parts. From the view point of the onlooker, the one on the left side is colored blue and the other on the right is red. On the blue space are the visual representations of Buga – Buga Hill, the rice field, the coconut palm and the carabao head.

The adjacent part on the right (colored red) depicts the picture of Villaba Sunset, the Visayan Sea, the boat and the fish.

All the above make up and feature the entirety of the LOGO of LGU – Villaba.

ARTICLE IIISIGNIFICANCE OF THE INSET OBJECTS

Section 5. Significance – This symbol portrays the salient factors that bring into being the reality of what Villaba is, particularly, its land clas-sification, the residents’ way of life, its beauty and pride, and abstracts its appearance in the recurring series of changes.

Each of the components of this logo expressly represents something of very considerable importance.

a. The frame signifies the territorial jurisdiction of Villaba;b. The sun, the three stars and the blue and red colors of the frame

symbolize the national flag of the Republic of the Philippines;c. The portrait of Buga–Buga Hill is a manifestation of a historical

site, the last defense of General Yamashita with his Japanese Imperial Forces during the Second World War. It shows a tourist spot representing all the tourist destinations in this municipality;

d. The rice field reveals that the primary product of Villaba is rice, followed by copra from coconut palms, corn and the upland crops which occupy the greatest portion of the land area of the town, making itself known as an agricultural municipality. It is for this reason that its interior inhabitants are mostly farmers;

e. Villaba Sunset is one of the beautiful sceneries seen from the coastal part of the town facing the Visayan Sea which is the source of livelihood for the fisherfolks as reflected by the presence of the miniature boat and fish in the logo; and

f. The Carabao Head in the LOGO is a plain indication that, before the advent of farm machinery, the carabao was the native tool in the farm cultivation and the beast of burden of the people. It is even used in the present time because of its utility.

ARTICLE IVDESIRABLE USES OF THIS LOGO

Section 6. Desirable Uses – A logo has multifarious worth in useful-ness. For the intended end of this ordinance, this symbolic work of art established for identification shall:

a. Be inscribed or pasted alongside the name “Municipality of Villaba” printed on a prominent place in its government center;

b. Also be put in similar way with the name of every department/agency and other structures of this LGU;

c. Be in the heading/letterhead of documents, communications/let-ters and other official papers and records of the Local Chief Executive, Sangguniang Bayan and the departments/agencies concerned;

d. Be stuck on the side of government service vehicles, heavy equip-ment, ambulance furniture and other properties of LGU – Villaba; and

c. When enlarged, become an impressive design on a banner that may be carried together with the Philippine National Colors during parade or hung in a strategic location in case of special event.

ARTICLE VREPLICATION

Section 6. As a legitimate distinguishing emblem of the Mu-nicipality of Villaba, this logo shall be used solely by this LGU and any person or agency replicating or causing to replicate this instrument is punishable under existing law.

ARITCLE VIFINAL PROVISIONS

Section 7. Repealing Clause – all existing municipal ordinances, resolutions, executive orders, rules and regulations, or parts thereof, which are inconsistent with this ordinance are hereby amended, repealed and modified accordingly.

Section 8. Separability Clause – Should any part or provision of this ordinance be found unconstitutional or invalid by a court of law, such part or provision shall be severed from this ordinance and such action shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining parts or provisions.

Section 9. Effectivity – This ordinance shall take effect upon approval.Approved unanimously.I HEREBY CERTIFY TO THE CORRECTNESS OF THE FORE-

tion is extremely powerful as long as the fears are strong enough to prevent you from quitting.

5. Achievement-Based Motivation: Titles, posi-tions, and roles throughout jobs and other areas of our lives are very important to us. Those who are constant-ly driven to acquire these positions and earn titles for themselves are typically dealing with achievement-based motivation. Whereas those who use incentive motivation to focus on the rewards that come after a goal is met, those who use achievement-based moti-vation focus on reaching a goal for the sake of achieve-ment.

6. Power-Based Moti-vation: Those who find hap-piness in becoming more powerful or creating mas-sive change will definitely be fueled by power-based motivation.

Power-based motiva-tion is a type of motivation that energizes others to seek more control, typically through the use of positions in employment or organiza-tions.

7. Affiliation Motiva-tion: People often say that it’s not what we do but who we know that dictates our success. For people driven by affiliation motivation, this is most certainly true. Those who use affiliation

motivation as a driving force to meet their goals thrive when they connect with others in higher power positions than them.

They also thrive when those people compliment the work that they do as well as their achievements.

8. Competence Moti-vation: Have you always wanted to be better at any-thing you do? Is one of your goals to learn how to do your job better or improve at your hobby? If so, you may be in need of some competence motiva-tion. Competence motiva-tion is a type of motivation that helps others to push forward and become more competent in a certain area. This type of motivation is especially helpful when it comes to learning new skills and figuring out ways around obstacles that one is faced with in different areas of life.

9. Attitude Motiva-tion: A problem with our attitude, perspectives, and beliefs is an issue that many of us face. It can become a problem on the way that we move throughout to the point that we begin to lose our happiness and miss out on our dreams. For those of you who are losing out on life because of your at-titude, attitude motivation will help you to recover and move forward properly. At-

MOTIVATION ... from P. 4

titude motivation is a kind of motivation that comes to those who intensely desire to change the way that they see the world around them and the way that they see themselves. Goals associ-ated with self-awareness and self-change will be met with attitude motivation.

Motivation is abso-lutely vital if you want to achieve your dreams. Using the 9 types of motivation mentioned above, nothing will be able to stand in the way of you and your goals any longer! (Source: www.lifehack.org)

Given our human con-dition that is prone to mis-takes, falls and sin, we can still obey God’s will as long as we also take the neces-sary means provided by Christ and now made avail-able in the Church. These are mainly the sacraments.

Humanly speaking, we should just have that sport-ing attitude of having to be-gin and begin again, seeing to it that we get up every time we fall. That way, we will continue on our way to fulfilling God’s ultimate will for us, that is, that we fully become his image and likeness, vitally sharing in his life and nature.

That’s the definitive state of our life, our true ultimate home!

PASSERBY ... from P. 4 saw a charcoal fire with fish

on it and bread.Jesus said to them,

“Bring some of the fish you just caught.”

So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore full of one hun-dred fifty-three large fish. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they real-ized it was the Lord.

Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish.

This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead.

When they had fin-ished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” Si-mon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said to him,

“Feed my lambs.” He then said to Simon Peter a sec-ond time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.” Jesus said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time,

“Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”

He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

GOSPEL ... from P. 5

hang impormasyun sa EV Mail nga may mga nadala pa sa OSPA-FMC, pero wala makuha ang ilang mga pan-galan ug wala say report nadangat sa Merida Police.

Matud ni P/CMsgt. Jon-athan Tomada nga nahinabi, ang sakyanan gikan sa Isabel pauli na sa Ormoc dihang nahitabo ang aksidente. Tulin daw ang dagan sa sakyanan, unya kalit nitipas sa pikas linya dayun kalim-buwad niini. Ang mga sakay nangalabay ug naangul.

Si Honey Fajardo nga nakahinabi niingon kauban siya sa grupo nga nangaligo didto sa osa sa mga beach resorts sa Isabel, pero didto siya sakay sa laing saky-anan. Ang iyang pamilya didto sakay sa nadesgrasya nga sakyanan, hinuon lu-was na sila gikan sa peligro. Tug-an niya kusog nipada-gan sa sakyanan ang dray-ber, tingale wala na niini makontrol ang manubela.

May mga kuyog silang drayber pero nag abang silag laing drayber paglikay sa desgrasya, unya nadesgra-sya na hinuon, dugang ni Fa-jardo. Ang drayber, si Naza-reno, anaa pa sa tambalanan, huwaton pa sa kapulisan nga makagawas kini aron mapatawag sa ilang buhatan. Sa nahitabong aksidente, dili luwas sa asunto ang drayber, matud sa Merida Police. Ni Paul Libres

BJMP-8 personnel undergo surprise drug test

Budding politicians vow positive changes to EV political atmosphere

POLITICAL ADV’T DONATED BY EVMAIL, DIST. 28, ORMOC CITY FOR LALAINE MARCOS

Three teenagers onboard motorbanca go missing on Easter Sunday

OWWA-8 now accepting applicants to OFW Dependents’ Scholarship Program

PALO, LEYTE – Before the 1st Quarter Manage-ment Conference of this year commenced, J/CSupt. Edwin B. Riel, Regional Director of the Jail Bureau, ordered a surprise drug test to all regional office per-sonnel and Jail Wardens dated on April 10, 2019.

J/CSUPT RIEL spear-headed the activity by or-dering the regional com-mand group, followed by the Jail Wardens and re-gional office personnel in the submission of urine samples to the BJMP Health Service Division headed by J/SInsp. Tadeo P. San Ga-briel, Chief of the Regional Health Service Division.

J/CSupt. Riel stressed that higher office and au-thorities of the jail bureau shall be an image of moral ascendency to various pro-grams and policies imple-

mented to lower units.A total of 76 personnel

were drug tested wherein 52 BJMP Regional Office VIII

personnel and 24 Jail War-dens yield negative results.

This confirms the jail bureau’s commitment to

ensuring a drug-free work-place and its fight against illegal drugs under new authority. (PR)

TACLOBAN CITY – Fol-lowing the alleged vote buying incidents posted by netizens in Leyte and Eastern Samar provinces recently, budding politi-cians vow to change the political atmosphere in Eastern Visayas.

Eduardo Ong Jr., who is running for vice-mayor in Carigara, Leyte, empha-sized that public service is not a money-making venture.

“Service should be the focus of all candidates. If you’re going to enter poli-tics to gain money, then you’re in the wrong field,” he said.

The 22-year old son of Mayor Eduardo Ong Sr. of Carigara, Leyte and nephew of Leyte 2nd Dis-trict Rep. Henry Ong added that candidates are chosen for the services they can offer, and not to steal from the people.

Paul Ada, who is vy-ing for a seat as councilor

in Catarman, which is the capital of Northern Samar province, said that vote buying and corruption goes hand in hand.

“Vote buying is nearly impossible to eradicate if the same politicians who buy votes keep on running and winning,” he lamented.

Paul ran for the same position in the past, but lost over a small margin because he said he did not attempt to bribe voters.

“Traditional Politicians or “TraPo” harness people’s poverty into a temporary money trap by giving inad-equate, if not substandard projects, all in the name of profit to compensate their expenses during elections,” he said.

He added that candi-dates who buy votes would definitely want their money back, including gains.

TACLOBAN CITY – Au-thorities are still conduct-ing a search and rescue op-eration for three teenagers who went missing between Carnaza Island, Daanban-tayan, Cebu and Higatangan Island, Naval, Biliran.

Information gathered by the Philippine Coastguard-Eastern Visayas disclosed that four passengers onboard a motorbanca named “Aga”

left Carnaza Island on Easter Sunday, but failed to reach Higatangan Island as their destination.

The survivor identified as Jay Bohol, 20 years old, could not give any state-ment yet as he was still in a state of shock.

He was rescued along Maripipi Island in Biliran by Dandie Cañizo, father of one of the missing persons.

They were identified as Daniel Cañizo, 18 years old; David Lastimada, 17 years old, and Danny Bohol.

The Philippine Coast-guard-Biliran Station has likewise alerted captains and operators of motorbancas passing through Higatanga Island to inform them if the motorbanca or the teenagers would be sighted. By Marie Tonette Marticio
