opinion
(Atty. APA chairs Acyatan & Co., CPAs-DFK International is PICPA past president and Hall-of-Famer, past chair of ASEAN Federation of CPAs, and ACPAPP Lifetime Achievement Awardee). ANNUAL FETE: Starting in 1990 or for 22 years now, the third week of July is Accountancy Week when all the four (4) sectors of the accounting profession jointly celebrate. The sectors cover the various endeavors where accountants perform their services: in commerce and industry, education, in government, and public practice (external auditing). It was during my PICPA presidency when then President Cory Aquino declared the annual Accountancy Week. We were lucky to be at the helm of the national organization of CPAs when the clamor for unification of all the sectors came to the fore. The previous objections driven by jealousy among competing auditing firms were taken aside in our favor being a provinciano whose accounting and auditing outfit does not openly compete with the big-leaguers. We doubt if even the present accountancy leaders would remember under whose efforts that Accountancy Week was then executively mandated. LIMITED: Entrants into the accounting profession are now fewer what with the high academic norms imposed by the colleges and universities on regulations issued by the Board of Accountancy and Professional Regulation Commission. Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Accountancy are among the cream of the graduating classes. Most summas and magnas belong to this group, and yet there is no assurance that they will pass

the CPA Board Exams (wherein only one out of five candidates succeed). Holders of government certificate as Certified Public Accountants are not automatically allowed to attest (audited) financial statements. New CPAs must have actual auditing experience of at least three (3) years before they can be accredited by BOA-PRC as External Auditors. The requirement is actual meaningful accounting practice certified to by an accredited auditing firm. Because of the strict norm, new CPAs just join banks and business enterprises as accountants or internal auditors. BUS DRIVERS: The policy of requiring public transportation companies to pay their drivers/conductors on salary basis is a step in the right direction. However, this is not a cure-all for the reckless attitude of our bus drivers. The proposed qualifying and renewal training for drivers preferably under the supervision of TESDA is a necessary complement. Not only driving skills must be taught; patience and attitude are also necessary subjects. Medical tests for drivers on alcoholism and drug addiction must be done periodically. We must be assured that those on whom we entrust our lives and safety are really worthy. For long distance drivers rules must be issued so that the maximum driving hours are observed. This is no different on the flying hours allowed airplane pilots and co-pilots. Airplanes can be grounded at certain airports if pilots will exceed their flying hours before reaching the next destination. WAY TO BICOL: Compared with our previous (audit) trips to Camarines Sur, Albay and Sorsogon our travel last week was a bit bumpy. The highway repairs in Pagbilao and Atimonan in Quezon have been partially completed - but the traffic management remains to be improved. Motorists do not just lose in terms of fuel consumption their bigger trouble is in physical, mental and psychological stresses. The stretch after Calauag crossing and up to Tagkawayan, Quezon as well as parts of the highway towards Del Gallego and Ragay are now potholed and with cracks on concrete panels. With the onset of the rainy, typhoon season, these road defects are expected to worsen .. unless timely repairs are undertaken. Cong. Erin Tanada is a hot candidate for senator while Cong. Andaya is now less powerful. Let us see who between them can make the miracle we are praying for. WISDOM: Generosity and sacrifice go together; it is seldom possible to be generous without sacrificing.

Cong. LRV raised L-Rays Conflict of Interest and Doing Nothing is Health
During the hearing of the Senates Committee on Local Government on the creation of the province of Nueva Camarines, the opposition argued that the division of Camarines Sur will derail the tourism development plan specifically on the Camarines Sur Wakeboarding Complex and Gota Beach Caramoan Project. Cong. Luis R. Villafuertes rebuttal is the following: There is false, grossly misleading and misplaced contention because: a. The wakeboarding site is in the Municipality of Pili which will still remain in the Province of Camarines Sur as it will be the Capital of the remaining Camarines Sur; b. The Gota Caramoan Project which is located at the proposed Nueva Camarines will be retained by the Province of Camarines Sur even if it is already located outside of it because it is expressly provided in Sec. 54 (c) now Sec. 56c of HB 4820 that: Sec. 54(c) now Sec 56c of HB 4820 Economic enterprises established and operated by the present Province of

He was apprehensive, however, that his son who thought he abandoned his family, would not welcome him. At the house of a friend, a stones throw from his sons house, where he took a room, he could see his son leaving and returning home daily. One day, he met a young boy. They became friends. They were together almost everyday. It was at this juncture that the boys father came upon them. Dolphy called his name, saying he was the long lost father. His son looked at him with hostility. The son had not forgiven the father. But like other stories of separation and reconciliation of Filipino families, the father, the son, the wife forgave each other.

Plant a tree and Save Mother Earth this was the theme of the tree planting activity held recently inside the University of Northeastern Philippines (UNEP) campus. The activity was joined by students, professors, department heads and other personnel under the headship of Dr. Eleanor A. Osea, UNEP Graduate Studies and Research Dean. Different varieties of flower bearing trees were planted inside the UNEP grounds in support of the greening initiatives of the national government and as a local endeavor of the university to support the campaign of mitigating the ill effects of climate change. Iriga City Environment
and Natural Resources (CENR) Officer Ms. Imelda D. Baltazar of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) hailed the universitys initiative and encouraged the students to replicate the said activity inside their own communities. Baltazar graced the occasion as DENRs representative during the declaration and signing of commitment. The agreement will bind the agency and UNEP management in continuing the environmental program of the government and pursuing similar endeavors in the future. DENR pushes for the promotion of Executive Order No. 26, otherwise known as the National Greening Pro-
gram under the direction of President Benigno Aquino. It encourages various stakeholders, including universities like UNEP to realize the goal of planting 1.5 billion trees through out the 1.5 million hectares within the Philippine territory by the year 2016. UNEPs assurance was also sealed through the acceptance of the commitment by UNEP President Atty. Remelisa Alfelor-Almoneda and UNEP Executive Vice President and
concurrently the universitys EVP for Finance, Miss Deli Alfelor-Tibi. UNEP is one with the governments direction in pushing for a safer, greener and sustainable environmental program. We know that this initiative is one of the best measures to combat the growing environmental menace. Each of us should be an earth warrior and take every possible measure to protect our environment, Moraleda quips.

dreamt never realized. In fact, it became harder, having a husband who was unschooled and having nine children to feed. Nanay Lorna became a fish vendor but the P100 to P200 measly income was just enough for their meals. Her husband also helped her sell fresh fish and occasionally worked as a construction worker. Being a fish vendor, she and her husband had to be at the market as early as 4 a.m., leaving their children unattended at home. And since they did not have a fish stall, they usually run and hid every time a policeman came along. They stayed in the market until all their fish were sold. This had been their routine and they thought that being able to provide food for their children was enough. Taking care of them and guiding their ways were never given priority. Kung dae kami matrabaho, dae kaming kakaunon. Makulog para sa sarong magurang na nahihiling mong nagugutom an saimong mga aki pero dae kang maginibo. Kaya kinaipuhan ming magsakripisyo para sainda (If we dont work, we wont have something to eat. Its really painful for a parent to see her children hungry and yet there is nothing we can do. And so we had to sacrifice for their welfare), said Nanay Lorna. But challenges and hardships came their way.
Grabe an pagbasul ko kan saro sa mga aki ko an nagadan dahilan sa napabayaan. Naghahale kaya kami nin atab asin nag-uuli kami banggi na. Sinda-sinda lang ang nawawalat. (What I regret the most was when one of my children died because he was not properly taken care of. We would leave early and we came home late. My children were left by themselves), she said. One of their neighbors shared that there was even a time when the couple went to work and had nothing (even a centavo) to leave behind for their childrens needs. Seeing his younger siblings cry of hunger, one of Nanay Lornas child was forced to steal. But the community could not condemn him because the child did it to buy milk and food for his siblings. More than Thankful Through the implementation of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, a human development and rightsbased program of the national government that invests in the health and education of poor households, particularly of children 0 to 14 years old, through the provision of conditional cash grants, Nanay Lorna can now send five of her children to school. One of them is Luzviminda, who, at the start of program implementation in 2010, was aged 13. Pirmi ko pighahapot si mama kun nata ta ngunyan
sana niya ako pinaadal (I oftentimes ask my mother why she let me study just now.) said Luzviminda. According to Nanay Lorna, Luzvimindas birth, just like her siblings, was unregistered: therefore, she cannot comply with the school requirements. Aside from the fact that their family income was not enough, there were also other expenses that had to be prioritized. Not to mention that her oldest daughter lived with them together with her grandchildren. When free registration of birth was offered in their barangay in support to Pantawid Pamilya, was the only time Lorna finally registered her daughter. Kun bako sa Pantawid Pamilya, dae makakatuntong an mga aki ko maski sa elementarya. Kaya dakulaon an pasalamat ko sa programa (If not for Pantawid Pamilyas help, all my children will not be able to even set foot in elementary. I am most grateful to the program), she said. As for Luzviminda, in spite of her embarrassment being the oldest in their class, she strives and study hard to finish her schooling. Even at her age as compared with her classmates, she manages to be at the honor roll. This makes Lorna proud. When asked what her dream is, in tears, Luzviminda said that it is to land a good job and have a better life for her family.

a report that described the problem as a pandemic. The picture for adolescents is even more worrying, with four out of five 13 to 15-year-olds not moving enough, it said. Physical inactivity was de scribed for the study as failing to do 30 minutes of moderate physical activity five times a week, 20 minutes of vigorous activity three times a week, or a combination of the two. Inactivity increases with age, is higher in women than in men, and more prevalent in high-income countries, the researchers found. A second study, comparing physical activity levels with population statistics on diseases like diabetes, heart problems and cancer, said lack of exercise claimed more than 5.3 million of the 57 million deaths worldwide in 2008. It said inactivity was a risk factor comparable to smoking or obesity. Lack of exercise causes an estimated six percent of coronary heart disease cases, seven percent of type 2 diabetes (the most common form) and 10 percent of breast and colon cancers, it said. Im aware that exercise is good for physical and mental health. So, I try my best to walk for 20 minutes if the weather is good or dance with the music at home.

Moving San Jose towards PROGRESS and DEVELOPMENT: This is the Statement I gave you when I delivered the State of Municipality Address (SOMA) in 2011. Honorable ViceMayor Evelio C. Pea, Honorable Members of the Sangguniang Bayan, Honorable Barangay Officials, Department Heads, employees, distinguished guests, namomot-an kong kahimanwa, ladies and gentlemen, a grace-filled morning to all of you. SA MATANOS NA GOBIerNO aN taWO MAASENSO: This is my battle cry. This is the very reason why we are here serving the people of San Jose. We should exert all our efforts to move San Jose towards our aim of PROGRESS and DEVELOPMENT because if we cannot do this, then we have no reason or business to hold our position any minute further. Yes, I am proud to report to all of you that the Local Government Unit of San Jose has been conferred with an award of the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH). Conferred by no less than the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). This is a clear recognition of our success in managing the affairs of our local government. You know, this means so much to us. Sa halip-ot na pagtaram, ang award na ini nangangahulugan maray ang padalagan kan satung gobierno lokal. Bako kami ang nagsabi kaini, kundi ang oficina kan Department of the Interior and Local Government. The DILG declares that we are excellent in governmental operations. Honorable members of this august body, the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) awarded to the LGU is not only prestigious but also an affront recognition of our effort in advancing in our quest for good governance that values TRANSPARENCY, A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y, PARTICIPATION and PERFORMANCE.

Duwang taon pa sana akong nakatukaw bilang alkalde, duwang (2) award naman ang satong nakua. Fellow government workers, Honorable members of this august body, fellow San Joseans, it has been our dream to have a new and beautiful Municipal Plaza. Now, its no longer a dream but a reality. Recently, we have undertaken the repair/rehabilitation and construction of the new Municipal Plaza in front of our Municipal Building. It was a long and tedious process before we arrived at a decision to rehabilitate the said Municipal Plaza, but finally we decided to beautify and conduct the necessary repair and rehabilitation dahil haloyhaloy ng pangitorogan na magkaigwa ning maray, magayon asin disenteng pahingaloan kan mga gurang, kawatan kan mga aki asin sa ano pa man na katuyuhan kan publiko orog ng gayo sa gustong mag avail kan libreng serbisyo kan WiFi Access.

Also we requested the construction of 4 classrooms in Adiangao Elementary School and 2 classrooms in barangay Tominawog Elementary School. These projects were funded through the PDAF of Senator Franklin Drilon and the Filipino Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In here, I would like to personally thank Senator Drilon, the adopted son of San Jose, for his invaluable support in the education program of San Jose. To ensure the proper hygiene of our pupils, we have distributed and we still continuously distributing toothbrush and toothpaste.

To instill reading habits to our day care, elementary and high school students, we distributed books and other reading materials to elementary and high school. Included in the distribution of the reading materials are the Day Care Students, again this is courtesy of Senator Bong-Bong Marcos. To support the program on computer literacy, we have distributed Computer sets in Salogon Elementary School and Kinalansan High School.

As of today, we have awarded 60 fishing boats to the marginalize fishermen of barangay Dolo, Telegrafo, Sabang, Manzana and Adiangao and soon another 20 fishing boats shall be awarded to the marginalize fishermen of barangay Calalahan and Tagas. I am glad that at least 60 fishermen families have been provided with such an opportunity to earn their living. If they will continue doing their share, I am sure they will have better lives and I will be most glad to see them sending their children to school and acquire the needed education. I am also proud for the 30 padjak drivers who benefited from the livelihood assistance providec by the LGU. Nag aasa ako na makatabang man lugod ang proyektong ini kan satung gobierno sa saindang pang oro-aldaw na panganga-ipo.

programs before international jurors. We have initiated a lot of programs here in the school to raise awareness of the students and ensure that they know their responsibilities as guardians of their surroundings. We are happy that it is now bearing fruit and has given us this rare opportunity, Abad said in an interview. CSNHS is a two-time recipient of National Search for the Sustainable School and EcoFriendly School awarded by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources- Environment Management Bureau (DENREMB). In 2009, they placed second in the said category. Last November 16, 2011, they bagged the prestigious title where they took home P5,000 as regional awardee and another P10,000 for the national awards. We used the cash prize to improve the existing programs of the school like tree planting. We also enhanced our trainings and workshops to equip our students with the current information affecting our environment. Our upcoming trip to Malaysia will be shouldered by Japan ASEAN International Fund, Abad added. CSNHS Youth-for-Environment-In-School Organization (YES-O) facilitates environmental projects inside the campus by mobilizing the students in joining environmental activities such as tree planting, street and coastal cleanup and participation in International Earth-Saving events like Green Wave and Earth Hour, among others. YES-O is also active in parenting the CSNHS Forest Park Project, attending symposia on environment and health concerns, participation in environmental campaigns through signages and bulletin announcements.

to a family not too happy to see him. He played the role of a man accused of killing his wifes paramour. It was my first time to see Dolphy in a hit performance.. A man of great acting talent, he was able to portray the various emotions tormenting the ex-convict. I did not expect that his death would elicite so much outpouring of grief. Even people who knew him only through his movies were grief-stricken. That is easy to understand for showbiz people, for close friends and associates, for other co-workers. But when ordinary folks from distant parts of the archipelago are affected by his death, that is something. Dolphy had touched peoples lives with his sense of humor. He taught them to enjoy life despite their woeful lack of material things, to see the sunny side despite the gloom around. Place him alongside a politician and you will see the great difference.. I have not heard of Dolphys involvement in shenanigans like many public officials. All he did was make us laugh. His greatest sin was to love beautiful women and be loved in return. But who among us have not fallen into the trap set by Eves naughty daughters? ******* Laughter has a potent healing power. The book, Management by Humor whose authors name has escaped me , tells the story of several top executives in Japan who died one after the other of mysterious disease. Alarmed, the health authorities in Japan conducted a probe aimed at finding out the cause of the sudden death. The inquiry yielded one surprising result. Stress was the killer. The recommended measures to busy people: laugh and make love more often. system which dramatically minimized the presence of plastic and waste litters inside the campus. To effect a greener environment, Abad also introduced the School in a Garden program where students maintains mini gardens, medicinal plots, urban vegetable garden, orchidarium, and a three-hectare area at the Mount Isarog Natural Park. The school also manages an aquaculture project, livestock farming and Project rain gauge. CSNHS also involves the parents and other stakeholders through various assemblies enjoining their participation which include Family Farming Curriculum, Engineering and Science Education Program and has initiated linkages with SM holdings, Department of Science and Technology, DENR, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, among others.
