Basey irrigation project now completed, says NIA exec

TACLOBAN CITY - After 17 years of waiting, the Basey Irrigation Project in Samar is now complete but the facility is just 25% operational this planting season.
National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Regional Manager Romeo Quiza said the system is now just supplying water to 800 hectares of rice fields in Basey town since they are still raising the capability of field personnel and organizing new irrigators associations. By next cropping season or before the end of the year, the target is to release water to 1,500 hectares. In 2014, we are hoping to release to 1,500 hectares of new areas, Quiza said. The projects source is the Bugasan River in Brgy. Mabini in Basey town. The main component of the project is the construction of irrigation dam and 24-kilometer main canal from the dam to irrigation site. The national government disbursed P100 million last year, representing the last tranche of a series of releases. In 2011, the NIA has set aside P205 million for the project. The central government approved this project in 1996 with an original P727.94 million as its original proposed budget. Because of construction ma-

terial cost adjustment, the budget for the project was raised to P1.35 billion. Slow budget disbursements hampered civil works in the late 1990s. There were years that the project only got P10 million or P20 million appropriation, according to Quiza. After minor civil works, the project was suspended in 2006 due to budget constraints. It resumed in 2009 with an allocation of P300 million, according to Quiza. The official added that it was starting in 2008 that the project received higher allocation from the central government. The NIA regional chief admitted fund releases for the project in the past years was affected by the government thrust to rehabilitate old systems.

TACLOBAN CITY - A foreign commercial vessel loaded with more than 1,600 pieces of lumbers ran aground off the waters of Maripipi Island in Biliran province last Thursday night. The Japan-bound commercial vessel, M/V Unicorn Lodger, which had an 18-crew Vietnamese members, ran aground at Sambawan Islet at around 7:10 p.m., Maripipi town local government operations head Engr. Ritchie Penaflor said in a phone interview. The Panamanian-registered commercial vessel, whose operator was identified by Penaflor as Wisdom Marine Lines, was loaded

with 1,607 pieces of lumber weighing 836.06 metric tons. The vessel departed from Sandakan, Malaysia last June 11 and was bound for Japan when it ran aground at the Sambawan Islet. Due to the incident, the vessel hit about 270 square meters of coral reefs, Penaflor said. This is now our concern. The incident has resulted in the destruction of our coral reefs, Penaflor said. On top of this, they are also looking on the possible oil leak that may happen due to this incident,

CAMP KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte Police authorities have arrested four members of a criminal gang involved in assassinations, armed robberies and working as an armed group of a local politician in Leyte. Eastern Visayas police director PCSupt. Elmer Ragadio Soria said the suspects, identified as Vincent Lonzaga, Aldin Mago, Norman Tojong and Ritchie Bactol, are members of the Espinosa gang operating in Leyte and adjacent provinces and were nabbed in a daring daybreak operation on Tuesday at their hide-out in Sitio Tinago, Barangay Benulho in Albuera town.

4 gang members fall in Leyte

This forms part of the intensified focused police operations against groups engaged in criminal activities in the region, said Soria. Soria informed that the raid was conducted by joint team from the PRO8 Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG8), PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, Regional Public Safety Battalion 8 (RPSB8), Leyte Norte Highway Patrol Team and Albuera Municipal Police Station. Aside from the arrests of the suspects, the operation also yielded several highpowered firearms, explosives and undocumented motorcycles used in the groups criminal activities. The police, armed with search warrants numbers 2013-06-49, 2013-06-52 and 2013-06-53 issued by Judge Alphinor Serrano of Regional Trial Court branch 6 in Tacloban City, raided the premises of the safehouse owned by gang leader Kerwin Espinosa and houses of two other gang members. When the lawmen were strategically positioned and about to enter the premises, a gunshot was heard from the inside prompting the policemen to break-in. However, two armed men inside the compound released five dogs towards the entering police officers compelling them to shoot the attacking dogs, killing two of them, and causing the other animals to retreat. Subsequent police action resulted in the arrest of the four suspects. The arresting team recovered several firearms allegedly used in the groups criminal activities that includes one Winchester M14 rifle with serial number 1037985; one AK-47 7.62 mm caliber rifle model TSG-2 with serial number 57097; one Colt Elisco M16 rifle model M16A1 with defaced serial number; one Ingram 9mm submachine gun with serial number 372153; one SAS12 Shooters shotgun with

engagement of the World Bank after over two decades of absence in the country. The CDD started last year in two townships and it will be implemented in 15 townships until 2018. The poverty incidence in these villages is 26% and the millennium goal development is to reduce it to 16% after 6 years of implementing this program. During the visit to the sites in different barangays on the features of KalahiCidss like the water supply system, hanging bridges that connect sitios in remote areas, pre-and-post

The site of the incident is only about 50 to 60 meters away from a beach resort maintained by the local government unit of Maripipi, the farthest island-town of Biliran province. Members of the Philippine Coast Guard coming from Tacloban City were on their way to assess the situation, Penaflor said. It was learned from him that they are having some difficulties in getting more information from the ship captain due to language differences. But we are looking after their condition if anyone of them were hurt due to the incident or if they have enough food supply, he said. The crew members, who were all Vietnamese, chose to stay inside the vessel. Penaflor also said that based on their initial but limited interview with the ships

There were no reports of injuries after the ship ran aground, coming to rest on sand about 200 meters offshore, near the resort islet of Sambawan, Gozon added. (JOEY A.

Random manual audit of votes shows nearly 100% accuracy

TACLOBAN CITY The random manual audit (RMA) of the votes cast in the May 13 elections showed nearly 100% accuracy compared to the results of the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines, an official of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Eastern Visayas said. Atty. Veronico Petalcorin, officer-in-charge of Comelec-8 said ballot boxes from nine randomly selected areas in the region have so far been checked to determine the accuracy of the votes counted by the PCOS machines. So far, the partial RMA results showed 99.9% accuracy in the PCOS count, Petalcorin said. The RMA was conducted on June 7 with the ballot boxes coming from the clustered precincts in Barangay Mada-o, Kawayan in Biliran province; Bunawan, San Isidro; Poblacion Zone II, Javier; and San Isidro, Sta. Fe, all in Leyte. On June 10, RMA was conducted on the election results of Barangay Poblacion, Pinabacdao and Cagtoto-og, San Jorge in Samar province. The June 11 RMA counted the votes cast in Barangay Salhag, Rosario and Dapdap, Las Navas in Northern Samar. Other ballots that need to be counted are from Barangay Malazarte, Matagob and Bocawon, La Paz in Leyte; and Barangay Consolacion, Sogod, Southern Leyte. Based on the manual audit results, there was no discrepancy of the votes cast using the PCOS machine. It proves that there was no problem with the PCOS machines used during the elections, Petalcorin said. All ballots, however, were submitted to Comelec central offices random manual audit committee (RMAC) for further verification and final audit, Petalcorin added. He said the final reports on the RMA will likely be released by June 25 at the least depending on the RMAC schedule. Under Republic Act 9369 or the Automation Law, the random manual audit is required in at least one clustered precinct for every congressional district. The law also says a 99.995% accuracy of the PCOS count should be met. Petalcorin, however,

DSWD-8 exec says 4Ps not to be blamed for worsening poverty in EV

TACLOBAN CITY Implementation of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) should not take the blame of worsening poverty situation in Eastern Visayas, an official of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said. DSWD Assistant Regional Director Nestor Ramos, who admitted that he has not yet checked the 2012 poverty data, said there are many factors contributing to poverty incidence. He added that 4Ps is not the lone solution to ending poverty, thus the situation remains despite efforts to expand the reach of poverty reduction initiatives such as 4Ps. The data released on April 23 by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) unveiled that the magnitude of poor families has increased in four of the six provinces in the region. The NSCB report categorized Eastern Visayas as a new entrant in top three poorest cluster next to Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (46.9%) and SOCCSKSARGEN (37.5%). The Philippines poverty incidence among families has remained unchanged at 22.9% in 2009 and 22.3% in 2012, the NSCB said. Nationwide, 22 out of 100 families were estimated to be poor in the first semester of 2012, the NSCB said. In Eastern Visayas, the figure is nearly doubled than the national data, at 37 families out of 100. Government policies have to be reviewed including programs that have been implemented by our office. We really have to study the relationship of 4Ps to poverty incidence data. Maybe those surveyed are not 4Ps beneficiaries, Ramos said. As of last year, 221,379 households in Eastern Visayas are 4Ps beneficiaries, a big jump from 39,887 families in 2009. The program targets to enlist 36,865 new families this year. Launched in March 2007, 4Ps provides conditional cash grants to extremely poor households to improve their health, nutrition, and education, particularly of children aged 0-14 years old. Under the program, P6,000 a year or P500 per month for health and nutrition expenses and P3,000 for one school year or P300 a month per child for educational expenses is given to households who have been pre-determined by the DSWD to be among the poorest of the poor.

Some Partylists could pass as family enterprises

ectoral representation was the main consideration when the party list system was considered. It was supposed to give voice to marginalized groups or sectors in Philippine society that were voiceless, their concerns were seldom heard or their common welfare was taken for granted. These sectors were the urban poor, women, farmers, and sher folk, children, senior citizens, handicapped or PWDs and other marginalized or vulnerable groups. When the party list system was given credence in our electoral processes, all sorts of organizations and groups mushroomed and each wanted to take part in the electoral exercise. The Commission on Elections was partly to be blamed for this unnatural proliferation of party list groups which do not necessarily represent a marginal sector. Worse, those that

lead these groups as nominees do not actually represent the sector. The nominees are actually millionaires, rich men and women, some are children of incumbent political gures who just take advantage of the system to be in power or be part of the august hall of Congress. The furor on purging the party list system in the country before the midterm election was an encouraging step done by COMELEC Chairman Brillantes but he has to make good of his words otherwise he could be charged as just a noisy gong. There are certain things he has to look into to dispel certain buzz on party lists that are in the borderline. This happened to a nominee who was pressured with 5K as assurance for for a seat. It has also been observed that some party

Treat your Feet

She hated me for wearing white socks in office. But I only came to know my fashion boboo when she did the same thing during her brief stay in a state university in Quezon City when she admitted how comfy the feeling was. I have a bias against high heels inspite of my 411 height because it will not take me ten minutes to feel the pain. Even in flat shoes, my soles are sore as I can feel the ragged edges and shapes of stones that I would step on. That is how vulner-

able my soles are. Hence, I stick to half inch shoes. For wearing one yesterday, Jimmy accosted me for the fashion. I told him that I cannot sacrifice my feet for passion for fashion. One of the pains I cannot endure is throbbing feet. One time I wore my untested wedge at the wedding that I have to go home barefooted just to free my poor feet. Thanks to my escort he did not mind my embarrassment. Inventorying my shoes - all my high heeled shoes are donated by generous sisters and they are

all Italian shoes. All reserved for the big days. Now I know why more women are found to have more foot ailments than men owing to these high heeled shoes ritual. Inside parlors, we see women cover their feet, and what a pity the manicurist bears the vista or otherwise. By the way, over manicure and pedicure can lead to fungus. So schedule your parlor. To baby your feet, you may try wearing socks day in and out maybe at night time. But be sure to massage with lotion or cream. My mom at 86 has fine legs and feet owing to her obligatory stockings. As a girl, I asked her once, Ma, why are you wearing two stockings at a time? Mama gamely answered, For two reasons - first to pamper my feet, and second, to conceal the snags. Till now, she has a box-full of used and unused stockings.

Leyte Samar Daily Express 5 OPINION Communication link for better understanding
When the government of the highly urbanized Tacloban City announced that it is finally allowing the Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival of Festivals to run its show in celebration of the 124th Feast of Sr. Sto. Nio de Leyte through the citys main thoroughfares without much regulatory restraints, varied ideas were toyed in the mind of the public. The most to speak of was that the luminaries involved have come to terms to make the homage to the Heavenly Patron free from controversies. The attention is fixed on the devotion to Senyor Santo Nio rather than the animosity between the government leaders involved. Some said it was because Mayor Alfred Romualdez has no political antagonism with the current chief executive of Leyte Gov. Mimiette Bagulaya. Others opined it is because the mayor stood as godfather to Leyte Governor-inwaiting Dominic Petilla. But the most pleasing to hear is that this recent turn of event paves the avenue to a better relationship between the city government and the provincial government of Leyte. The Leyte government, then under the leadership of now Palo Mayor Remedios LoretoPetilla, was instrumental in the merging of the Pintados Festival and Leyte Kasadyaan Festival of Festivals. Henceforth, former Gov. Matin Petilla, mother of Dominic, served as chairperson of PKFF. What really caused this pleasant development was susceptible to a thousand and one guessworks. Whatever these whys and wherefores maybe, the cooperation between the organizers of PKFF and the administration of Mayor Romualdez is manifestation of their mutual desire to flesh out their good intentions for the welfare of all. A basic factor that underpinned this forged ties is an effective communication link between the two groups of erstwhile warring government functionaries, save of course other political gains. This buttresses the common notion placing emphasis on functional communication as tool to amity and better understanding. The scenario is that both factions judiciously listened to what each other wanted to put forward and they both came into terms eventually. This is what effective communications is, academically speaking. While theoretically it is imperative that for communications to be effective there is the reciprocity between stimulus and response there is one learned in the field of social communications who advanced another intellectual thesis. Fr. Amadeo Corpuz Alvero, the head of the Archdiocese of Palo Social Communications Commission, stated, Communication becomes effective

Burying the hatchet

Upping the Ante

frANZ RAYMOND P. ASPA
Hypothetical question: if someone rammed into your barely-month old brand new sedan and caused it substantial damage, would you be willing to bury the hatchet, so to speak, by his offer of apology and of a meagre amount for reparation? I would because I did. I have once in my work envisioned of a society where parties to an issue, while they may labour initially from ire, are eventually settled and each other burying the hatchet insofar as what each of them may have respectively committed as a transgression of the right of the other. Such a place is utopic but definitely not an elusive dream. By the method that is alternative dispute resolution, parties who may have a falling out because of whatever issue can iron out their differences without further straining their already wrenched relations. A by-product of the method is the so-called compromise which is technically a contract whereby the parties, by making reciprocal concessions, avoid a litigation or put an end to one already commenced. Compromise does not grant one party everything and the other nothing; rather, both win some and lose some. What one gains, the other loses; what the other loses, the other gains. Before it was rendered mandatory by the Supreme Court to submit appropriate cases for mediation to the Philippine Mediation Center, the only chance that the parties get for the possible conclusion of their differences short of a court decision is the mechanism provided during the pre-trial stage of the proceedings. You see, it is during the said stage that the parties get the chance to express their willingness to enter into any modes of dispute resolution, such willingness expressed usually in their respective pre-trial briefs. The problem with the said vintage mechanism is that it has become more of a formal expression of a requisite allegation in the brief than a genuine intention to have the issue settled without the rigors of a trial. It is the equivalent of surface bargaining in labor law, of entering into an agreement but without the slightest bit of genuine and honest intention to honor what has been agreed. It has become a requirement of form rather than of substance. With the advent of the court-annexed mediation, parties are now stripped of any discretion to merely surface bargain as they are now impelled to genuinely submit themselves for possible mediation before

a mediator. The process is tedious and exhaustive too, requiring the parties to meet several times over a period of several days before either the parties settle or the mediator throws back the case folder to the judge for the continuation of the proceedings because of the failure to settle. I have mentioned of compromise as a way of settling disputes that have already reached the threshold of our courts. But it is a concept far larger in scope to be limited only to those cases. This concept of burying the hatchet, of letting bygones be by-gones, if you will, cover all species of disputes, from the more significant to the less important, from the most controversial to the most trivial, from the most serious to the most loony. The only caveat is that no law must prohibit against its being settled through compromise. And the most recent I have heard and read as a paragon of this concept is the news that finally, several days prior to the celebration of the feast day of Seor Sto. Nio de Tacloban, the local government of this city has allowed the contingents of the Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival to parade around the city streets free from any uncalled-for restrictions, bereft of any ridiculous impositions. Which impels me to end with another hypothetical question: will the Philippine government find it in its heart to also bury the hatchet when the ludicrous time comes that any of its bullies finally decide to ask pity for their indiscretions? It is a tough feat to be sure but I could only hope it will.

when one listens while the other is talking. He stressed, Listening is a very important element in effective communication, adding that listening enables us to talk to people in their own terms. However, some may think that communication is effectual if the speaker gets a reply from the receiver, such as in the case of interpersonal communication. In this way, the speaker has full knowledge as to whether or not his message is grasped by the receiver. But what happens in the case of correspondences where the readers are sometimes inclined to read between the lines? Here communication gap can tremendously lead to misunderstanding. Was this the previous situation in the

bickering between the city government, which has its own Sangyaw Festival replaced later by Parade of Lights, and the organizers of the PKFF? Fr. Alvero imparted that the fact that one listens is already a response. However, this justification is in itself pregnant with a thread of subsequent questions. Like in a classroom set up, the academic instructor, after a lengthy discussion of his topics would later elicit contrary reactions or questions from the students and all he got was a pensive look from them. There are two possibilities, either they perfectly comprehended that discussion or remained too nave to hurl the right question as if they grasped nothing at all.

June 15, 2013 - Saturday of the 10th week in ordinary time 2 Cor 5:14-21; Ps 103; Mt 5:33-37

ON OATHS
Jesus said to his disciples: You have heard the commandments imposed on your forefathers, Do not take a false oath; rather, make good to the Lord all your pledges. What I tell you is: do not swear at all. Do not swear by heaven (it is Gods throne), nor by the earth (it is his footstool), nor by Jerusalem (in the city of the great King); do not swear by your head (you cannot make a single hair white or black). Say, Yes when you mean Yes and No when you mean No. Anything beyond that is from the evil one.

UNNECESSARY PROMISES
Jesus continues to fulfill the Law, the Second Commandment, Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord, thy God, in vain. He reminds us that to make a promise is a serious matter. We have a serious duty to tell the truth. If we respect the truth and if we tell the truth when we make a promise, then there is no need to call upon God to verify what we say. How can a man dare to ask God to verify what is known to be false? This is blasphemy. Jesus warns us not to make unnecessary oaths or to swear in the name of God about ordinary affairs. As a Christian I should be trustworthy and honest. I will not make unnecessary promises but if I make a promise, I must keep it. (Daily Gospel Now by R.Sullivan, OMI, published by Paulines. Visit us at www.paulines.ph or at Paulines Media Center, Real St., Tacloban City. Tel. #321-3195) Sowers Thought: We should use the Bible ffor spiritual reading, as a means for recollection and elavation during visit to the Blessed Sacrament, as the main book of meditation, and as the divine oracle to be consulted in every need: spiritual, apostolic, and social. (Blessed James Alberione, SSP, STD, Founder of the Pauline Family)

Newspapering also involves doing community work through CSR

MAKATI CITY- Newspapering is not just all about providing information or news to the reading public. Rather, it should also involve doing community work by practicing its corporate social responsibility (CSR). Thus urged Wally Panganiban, corporate affairs manager of the Mead Johnson Nutrition Philippines, in his talk during the 17th National Press gathering initiated by the Philippine Press Institute needs to be fulfil. Over the years, Ive heard media experts and professionals talk about the medias role in society and how as a watchdog, the media should always take the objective, neutral stand. But does this mean the media should keep to itself and not get involved? he asked in his speech during the gathering attended by media workers from different community newspapers across the country.

He lamented that some media workers or organizations in the country appears to be unmindful that they have some social obligations to fulfil to their readers or to the community. This may sound okay in the past when doing CSR was something that was nice to do or good to do but not necessary. Today is of course a different story, he said. Businesses, private institutions are expected to engage in CSR or to give back to the community.

from page 5
Even so, Fr. Alveros opinion deserves credence, owing it to his educational attainment and long years of experience in social communications, besides being a spiritual adviser. He is precisely correct. When the receiver of the message lends his ears to the speaker, such gesture is his corresponding reaction to the stimulus stirred by the speaker or sender of the message, as the case may be. That very act sows the seeds of effective communication that bears the fruit of mutual cooperation, understanding and camaraderie.

P10,000 prize for winning the shows dance contest division. Looking more like a hip-hop group than members of PRO8s maneuver unit, the 11-member crew wowed the audience who braved the heavy rains just to see them dance to the groove of re-mix hits of Psys Gentleman, Zedds Clarity, Baauers Harlem Shake and other hit dance tunes. Dancers from the PRO8 regional headquarters and Southern Leyte PPO Kasaligan XForce took home P8,0000 and P5,000 for being adjudged as first and second runner-ups, respectively. The five dance groups from other police offices were given P2,000.00 consolation prizes.

lists may have become family enterprises. Nominees belong to only one or two families. Non-family members are likely to be easedout in one way or another just like Jude Acidre of the An Waray. It is a painful thing to happen to one who has been one of the brains and muscles of the organization only to be pressured into resigning due to lack of money or another reason. It will be recalled that Jude Acidre was one of the real workers since the infancy of the organization; for nine years he has worked hard more than the other nominees who are now privileged representatives but did not contribute substantially. If it can be assessed deeper, the constituents that are allegedly served by the marginalized Warays or Have-nots in this part of

the country are legitimately served by District Representatives so that there is no more need for them to be represented by any party list group. The thing is, there is redundancy that results to more misused funds. President Aquino on his part must have the political will to purge the party list system and remove those which are not contributing much, party lists that are redundant and have not done anything for their mandates and most specially party lists that have become family enterprises. If these party lists are legitimate sectoral groups then, they should be represented by legitimate people within the sector. The situation of the An Waray could be happening in other parts of the country, which is why the Aquino administration must do well to include this problem in its anti-corruption purge.

Biliran policewoman, RPSB dancers win Pulis Got Talent

CAMP KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte A 28-year Biliran policewoman was hailed as the first ever Pulis Got Talent Singing Contest division winner, besting 11 other contestants during the shows talent night at the RTR Festival Parks in Tacloban City on Wednesday. I was surprised when my name was called. It was totally unexpected, said PO2 Venus Abrigo, the Police-Community Relations Non-Commissioned Officer of Naval Municipal Police Station in Biliran province. With her subtle rendition of Joey Alberts 1990 hit Iisa Pa lamang, Abrigo got the judges nod and went home with the coveted title and P5,000 prize which was personally awarded by PCSupt.
