MANILA -- Taiwans military conducted ursday exercises in waters between Taiwan and the Philippines, close to the spot where Filipino coast guard personnel opened re on a Taiwanese shing vessel last week, killing a 65-year-old-crew member. Two Lafayette frigates, one Kidd-class destroyer, two missile boats and assorted Mirage and locally produced jet ghters took part in the drill, underscoring Taiwans anger over the incident, which has dominated local media coverage for the past week. It seems certain to bene t President Ma Yingjeou, desperately in need of a public relations victory following a protracted economic slowdown that has helped depress his once buoyant approval rating to new lows that were in the mid-teens as of last week. Ma is also likely to be aided by the seemingly in exible attitude taken by his premier, who on Wednesday brushed aside an apology by the Philippines -- the second in 24 hours -- as insu cient and insincere. As a result, a series of Taiwanese sanctions imposed on the Philippines a hiring freeze placed on Philippine workers coming to Taiwan, the recall of Taiwans semi-o cial to Manila and the discouraging of Taiwanese travel to the Southeast Asian nation -- will all remain in e ect. e Philippine government said ursday, however, that the red travel alert issued by Taiwan

would hurt both sides. It does not do anyone good. Travel from their end will be a ected as well. eir airlines will be affected. So does it help both countries when you do a travel ban? said presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda in a news briefing. Lacierda also said that the concerned government agencies have been preparing for contingencies a er Taiwan decided to freeze the hiring of Filipino workers due to the incident. On ursday, it was the Taiwanese military exercises in the Bashi Strait that captured most of the attention in Taiwan, with cable TV news stations o ering full coverage of the sea and air maneuvers. Commentators drew repeated attention to the presence of heavily armed naval ships protecting the Taiwanese shing boats working in the area a reminder that Taiwan is prepared to do everything it can to discourage a reprise of last weeks incident. Our naval drill is meant to ex our muscles and protect our sovereignty, gushed CTI TV, while ETTV added ominously: Our Mirage ghters are heavily armed with missiles. Our naval crews are maneuvering on the very doorstep of the Philippines. e circumstances behind the May 9 shooting remain shrouded in controversy. While the Philippines acknowledges that its coast guard personnel did open re on the Taiwanese boat, it said the action was taken in self-defense to prevent the Taiwanese from ramming their own vessel. Taiwanese shermen deny the ramming claim. e Philippines has opened an inquiry into the a air. Fourteen Taiwanese police investigators arrived in Manila on ursday to take part in the inquiry. Philippine President Benigno Aquino IIIs envoy Amadeo Perez also returned ursday from Taiwan, where he said he was received by a Taiwanese Foreign Ministry ofcial. But he said he failed to meet with the family of the slain sherman as instructed by Aquino to convey our apologies and condolences to the family. We were unable to do that because the government of Taiwan did not want to give us security, and they said the family did not want to meet us, he told reporters. Perez said he asked an emissary to let the shermans family know that he would go back to Taiwan if they agree to meet him. Last weeks incident took place in waters southeast of Taiwan and north of the Philippines in a location considered by both to be well within their 200 nautical mile-from-shore exclusive economic zones. e continuing tensions between Taipei and Manila has placed the United States into something of a bind, with the State Department on Wednesday saying it was

concerned by the increase in tensions between two neighboring democracies and close partners of the United States. It welcomed the Philippines pledge to investigate the shooting and cooperate with Taiwanese investigators, and urged both parties to avoid further escalation in tensions. We want them to work through their differences on this issue as expeditiously as they can, spokesman Patrick Ventrell told reporters. China is also closely monitoring the upsurge in tensions between Taiwan and the Philippines, doing its best to make common cause with Taipei on a sensitive issue of maritime sovereignty. Beijing sees the a air as a good opportunity to emphasize its claims over the island, from which it split amid civil war in 1949. Taiwan has so far resisted Chinas e orts to mount a joint front against Manila. On Wednesday, the spokesman for the Taiwan A airs O ce of the State Council in Beijing repeated the mainlands condemnation of the Philippines handling of the incident. It is the shared responsibility of both the mainland and Taiwan to safeguard the interests of compatriots across the strait, Yang Yi said. We have urged the Philippines to investigate the incident, punish the murderer and give a satisfactory explanation to the victims. (SUNNEX)

3 of 6 Tans lose in Samar

CATBALOGAN CITY -- e ambition of the Tan family to rule the entire province of Samar failed as three of their additional bets -- all neophytes -- lost and only the incumbents were able to regain their posts in Mondays polls. e Tan family elded three inexperienced candidates in a bid to further tighten their grip in Samar that has 481,278 registered voters and nearly a million population. In the recently concluded polls, Samar 2nd district Rep. Milagrosa Mila Tan got reelected along with her daughter Sharee Ann SheAnn Tan as governor of the province and son Stephen James Jimboy Tan as vice governor. ey were proclaimed Friday a ernoon. e matriarch was challenged by lawyer Eunice Babalcon of the Liberal Party (LP), who belongs to a political family in Paranas town and Villareal Mayor Reynato Latorre of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA). Sharee Ann, on the other hand, was challenged by Rosa Jessica Aika Uy (LP), the eldest child of the late mayor of Calbayog, Reynaldo Uy. Jimboy was challenged as vice governor by the long-time mayor of Basey town, Wilfredo Estroninos (LP). e lady solon and the governor ran under the Nationalist Peoples Coalition (NPC) banner, while Jimboy is with the Nacionalista Party. e eldest Tan used to be a liated also with the Liberal. e three neophytes namely Angelie Tan (independent) ran for Calbayog City mayor, Reynolds Michael Tan for Catbalogan City mayor, and Arnold Tan (NP) for congressman in the rst district and they all lost. Incumbent Rep. Mel Senen Sarmiento (LP) garnering 78,425 votes stayed as congressman of Samar rst district. He was proclaimed in absentia by the provincial board of canvassers (PBOC) ursday night. Another LP candidate in Calbayog City, Mayor Ronald Aquino, retained his post and was proclaimed ahead of Sarmiento. e Tan family has been in power in Samar for more than a decade. e rst to enter politics in Samar was Mila who was a substitute for her late husband Ricardo who ran for a provincial seat in 1998. e Tan family is mostly engaged in general merchandising and micro- nance lending, which made them well known in the province. A er her board seat, Mila ran for governor (under former President Joseph Estradas Partido ng Masang Pilipino) in 2001 against Jose Roo, who was deputy prime minister during the Marcos regime. She won the tight race that happened to be the most talked political battle that time. She was able to nish three terms under the banner of the LP on her second and Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino on her third term. In 2007, she elded her daughter Sharee Ann to run for representative of the 2nd district. A political neophyte, Sharee Ann won and became the youngest lawmaker at the House of Representatives. A er three years the mother and daughter tandem switched places while another family member joined the race. Jimboy was eld for the vice governor and the three of them won their seats. is midterm elections, the lady solon elded her brother-in-law and eldest daughter, Arnold and Angel for the congressional seat and Calbayog City mayoralty post but both lost to Sarmiento and Aquino respectively. Meantime, Michael lost to his sister-in-law Stephany Uy-Tan - who is the wife of the incumbent and reelected vice governor - in the mayoral race. Stephany, the daughter of Coefredo Uy, a long-time mayor in Catbalogan, was proclaimed by the Commission on Elections city board of canvassers ursday. (RICKY J. BAUTISTA)

3 more Team PNoy bets proclaimed

MANILA -- Administration-backed Team PNoy already secured eight seats in the Senate with the proclamation Friday of three more members who will serve for a term of six years. e National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) proclaimed Friday night presidential cousin Paolo Benigno Bam Aquino IV, Aquilino Koko Pimentel III and Antonio Trillanes IV based on 117 certi cates of canvass (COCs) transmitted to the NBOC, which is composed of Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioners. Over two million votes have yet to be canvassed by the board. Based on o cial tally released at 8 p.m., Aquino got 14,086,288 votes so far, Pimentel has 13,466,306, and Trillanes has 12,958,307. Only Aquino attended the simple proclamation rites at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City past 8 p.m. For tonights ceremony, we will proclaim only one particular senator in the person of senator-elect Bam Aquino, said Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. who also sits as chairman of the NBOC. Senator-elect Paolo Benigno Bam Aquino IV. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex) Brillantes said Trillanes informed him that he is outof-town, while Pimentel was feeling ill. Pimentel said, however, in a television interview that he disagrees with the Comelecs rushed proclamation of winning candidates. Aquino, for his part, refused to comment on Pimentels position. In my case, I think all of the candidates are practically or most of the candidates will be very happy pag napo-proclaim na sila, so Im just very happy to be here and excited to get back to work already, he said. Aquino, currently at seventh place in the o cial tally, received his certi cate or proclamation (COP) amid questions on the partial proclamation of the rst six winning candidates on ursday. All of the concerns about the proclamation should be addressed to the Comelec; theyll be able to answer that anyway Im just very happy to be here and we have been proclaimed already and hopefully, we can start already working for the country, Aquino said in an ambush interview. e former chairman of the National Youth Commission is looking into joining the Senate committees on youth, women, and sports; and trade and commerce once the 16th Congress convenes this July. On ursday, the NBOC proclaimed Aquinos partymates Grace Poe-Llamanzares, Loren Legarda, Alan Peter Cayetano, Francis Escudero, and Juan Edgardo Angara. Nancy Binay of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) was also proclaimed winning senator but skipped the occasion, saying it was premature for the Comelec to proclaim her based on 72 out of 304 COCs. Binays party earlier protested the early proclamation of senatorial candidates but its motion was junked by the NBOC. Veteran election lawyer Romulo Macalintal also urged the six new senators to immediately return their COPs as he questioned the partial proclamation of winners. He said the NBOC does not have the authority to make a partial proclamation since the rules provide for a completion of canvass as basis of such proclamation. However, Brillantes insisted that they can already proclaim winning senators despite the non-completion of COCs sourced from the provincial and city board of canvassers. We can have a projection (of the remaining votes) and if it is projected that they (winning senators) cannot be adversely a ected anymore, we can already proclaim even if they are not yet o cial (canvassed), he said. Fridays proclamation leaves three more slots le to be contested by ve members of the UNA and one member of Team PNoy. Currently in the nal three spots are Team PNoys Cynthia Villar (12,221,970); and UNA teammates JV Ejercito Estrada and Gringo Honasan with 12,026,870 and 11,669,991 votes, respectively. ree more UNA candidates are lingering just outside the Magic 12, namely: Richard Gordon (11,261,192); Jack Enrile (10,160,318); and Juan Miguel Zubiri (10,046,457). Brillantes said he does not see that the proclamation of all the winning senatorial candidates will reach Sunday. We expect to nish this until tomorrow (Saturday), said Brillantes. (SUNNEX)

SKorea says NKorea res 3 short-range missiles

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) North Korea fired three shortrange guided missiles into its eastern waters on Saturday, a South Korean official said. It routinely tests such missiles, but the latest launches came during a period of tentative diplomacy aimed at easing tensions. The North fired two missiles Saturday morning and another in the afternoon, South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said by phone. He said the Norths intent was unclear. His ministry said it is watching North Korea carefully in case it conducts a provocation against South Korea. In March, North Korea launched what appeared to be two KN02 missiles off its east coast. Experts believe the country is trying to improve the range and accuracy of its arsenal. North Korea recently withdrew two mid-range Musudan missiles believed to be capable of reaching Guam after moving them to its east coast earlier this year, U.S. officials said. The North is banned from testing ballistic missiles under U.N. Security Council resolutions. Earlier this year, North Korea threatened nuclear strikes on Seoul and Washington because of annual U.S.South Korean military drills and U.N. sanctions imposed over its to page 7

Much is expected from our polls winners

inners in the recently held elections are probably thanking the electorate for entrusting them with their votes. But more than being grateful, they must live up to their promises. They should now commit themselves to deliver on the promises they made. Politicians are the same all over the world. They make promises to their publics, some of which they cannot possibly keep. Not unless they can walk on water and perform miracles. Hopefully, the greater number of winning candidates will at least try to live up to some of their promises. Not the vague motherhood statements that everyone spewed out, but the specic programs they offered which could possibly improve the lot of the people whether on the national or the local level. Some candidates may have had the best of intentions when they sought public ofce. But

they simply could not avoid the disease of lying or exaggerating about what they planned to do once they were elected. At the local level, there were a number of surprises. Candidates who considered themselves sure winnersmost of them incumbents who are members of political dynastieswere unexpectedly voted out of ofce by a population that had gotten sick and tired of their trapo ways. These were the candidates who took their would-be constituencies for granted, becoming visible and generous with their time, but mostly with their money only during campaign season. To the winning candidates, our congratulations, but be aware that much is expected of you. Fail and do not be surprised if you will be voted out of ofce next time you run. Deliver and you can win again and again.

Gospel for all days and seasons

World Day of Communication messages sent forth in the preceding Sunday may not have reached all minds, ears, and hearts of peoples around Earth, but they emphasized on the importance, significance and role of day-to-day communication between persons, between groups of individuals, between organizations, between communities, between countries and nations, and even between enemies or protagonists and antagonists. At least for World Day of Communication, and Ascension Sunday (which, according to the administering priest, used to be Ascension Thursday if we heard it right). The media was among the hosts for the mass, or rather, it was for their social communication role that the priest was delivering that very message in the hope that the community of Christian believers would also recognize that. Be-

one catholic church in Tacloban highly urbanized city bannered the days messages as centering on peace, faith and love. The Santo Nino par-

ish church, Tacloban, as usual, was packed with churchgoers last May 12 for the mass that unfolded at 5 p.m., perhaps unaware that the mass was being offered

them to the usual radio, television, magazines, newspapers, books, handouts, pamphlets, flyers, movies, DVD, CD, cassette tapes, floppy disks, meetings, dialogues (pulong-pulong), trainings, assemblies and rallies and other mass gatherings. Even walks, runs, swims, climbs and crawls for a cause, including sports activities, are such a communication medium. When more and more people leaders and potential leaders among them get to know the message and act accordingly, they will be getting their acts together, they will be moving in the manner that neighbors care for each other (which is a manifestation of love), they will be hoping to achieve good and desirable common goals to which they will attach their common faith in hereafter rewards or in immediate outcomes, and by these tokens, they will be living a peaceful life in Gods desire, one where there is no hatred, no avarice, no greed, no gluttony, no envy, no mockery, for instead there will be honesty and ultimate goodness. Thats true. For hatred, avarice, greed, gluttony, envy, mockery breed anger, are causes of bloody violence, war and unwanted deaths. *** Last Friday, as I revisited samarnews. com just for leisure, I chanced upon an item, which, although posted on February 21, 2004, whew!, 9 years ago!, still applies for all seasons. While it talked about electing a president, which to my mind, that was meant for the then forthcoming presidential election in the Philippines, most of the biblical verses that it cited can also apply to selection of presidents of any organization, and other community, even civic, leaders. Posted by Bangon Pilipinas, it carried the title: The 10 Commandments In Choosing The Right President, sourcified from http://jilchurchforum.org/bangonpilipinas. For its relevance (even as the Filipino nation went through the campaign trail for and the just concluded mid-term elections, some sectors have already been talking about the next presidential elections, just fine because educative), and for the guidance of many Filipinos or for meditation, QN takes the liberty of including extracts from that item here, as follows: Deuteronomy 17:15-20 1. Be sure to appoint over you the king the LORD your God chooses. [v.15] 2. He must be from among your own brothers. [v.15b] 3. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not a brother (Filipino). [v.15c] 4. The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself. [v.16] 5. Or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the LORD has told you, You are not to go back that way again. [v.16b] 6. He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. [v.17] 7. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold. [v.17b] 8. When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the priests, who are Levites. [v.18] 9. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees. [v.19] 10. And not consider himself better than his brothers and turn from the law to the right or to the left. [v.20a] *** Conditions are changing all the time, and to adapt ones thinking to the new conditions, one must study. Even those who have a better grasp of Marxism and are comparatively firm in their proletarian stand have to go on studying, have to absorb what is new and study new problems. Mao Tse Tung

ing a media advocate myself, I attended the mass and did agree with the priest. I, however, hoped that those seated with me at the left side of the church also agreed. For the officiating priest, it is through the present-day forms, channels and methods of communication that the meaning of Jesus Christs having ascended to Heaven, the Kingdom of His Father, the Almighty God, can also be explained to the worlds growing population. The other message being brought deep down into the hearts of the churchgoers was that the media must now also be widely used to make all people understand the Gospels. At least, perhaps, it was understood that Jesus teachings, in His own lifetime, and even after His Death, were being spread via the early media channel: interpersonal and later on, print (writings: the pieces of Scriptures scribbled by Jesus Apostles. It was understood, further, that the meaning of those and the present media messages anchors on change, change according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. And changing indeed has the world been since His Ascension and year after year after the Holy Bible became popularized and widely read, and believed as the Word of God, a guide to mans salvation. According to the Bible and the true preachers, on His Ascension, Jesus went ahead to prepare in Gods Heaven a home for every man, except that to be entitled to that heavenly home, man must first think, do and act according to His teachings as now told by the Bible Itself and by true preachers. Since the worlds human population keeps on growing, day and night, more and more people have to be told about those teachings. The social communication media can greatly help in that continuum.

BEING next to a shopping mall may be advantageous for a business hotel, but the variety of restaurants in the mall could also spell trouble for its food and beverage outlets. is is one of the challenges Patrick Carroll has noted in running the Cebu City Marriott Hotel. Carroll, who took over as general manager last April 15, said the solution for them is to o er choices for guests and customers who prefer quality food over fast food. Having a mall next

door is a great selling feature. But the negative side is that many restaurants there give them many dining options, Carroll told reporters. Surrounding the area of the Cebu Business Park is also several hotels, making the business more competitive for them. Despite these, Carroll said the standards associated with their brand will continue to make them attractive to their patrons. Aside from tourists, many top pharmaceutical companies that hold trainings and seminars in Cebu book their employees at the Marriott, Carroll said. He believes their rewards program gives them an edge over neighboring hotels as the points they gain can be redeemed in other Marriott hotels worldwide. A er serving as director of nance of di erent Marriott hotels worldwide, Carroll felt it was time for him to take up a general managers position. When he learned of a vacancy in Cebu, he felt the size of the Cebu City Marriott would be ideal for him to start as a general manager of the hotel chain. Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States, Carroll started his career in food and beverage, working in restaurants and catering banquets for di erent hotels in the US. He joined the Marriott in Michigan in 1989 as a banquet manager. Years later, he decided to try out the nancial side of the business and became

Before arriving in the Philippines, he was director of nance at the chains Seoul, South Korea property for over ve years. is background comes in handy for him, as Koreans top the Cebu City Marriott Hotels foreign guests. It was also his stint in Seoul that made him adjust to the Asian culture. He believes it will be an easy transition for him. I had no fears about moving here. Its a nicesized hotel. I feel this is something I can do and be successful at, he said. As manager of the Cebu City Marriott Hotel, Carroll hopes to attract a new and younger market. He admitted social media sites like Facebook and websites like Trip Advisor are helpful in promoting the hotel to the market they want to attract, namely, young professionals with money to spend. e growing Chinese middle class is also a market they hope to see more of in the hotel. ey also hope to see more weddings held at the hotel. e ballroom renovation is expected to be completed by June and Carroll expects it to be the perfect venue for both social and business events.

third nuclear test in February. The drills ended late last month. This past month, the U.S. and South Korea ended another round of naval drills involving a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier off the east coast. North Korea calls such drills preparation to invade the North. Analysts say the recent North Korean threats were partly an attempt to push Washington to agree to disarmament-for-aid talks. This past week, Glyn Davies, the top U.S. envoy on North Korea, ended trips to South Korea, China and Japan. On Friday, an adviser to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe returned from North Korea but didnt immediately give details of his talks with officials there. On Monday, North Korean state media showed that the countrys hard-line defense minister had been replaced by a little-known army general. Outside analysts said it was part of leader Kim Jong Uns efforts to tighten his (FROM THE WIRES)

grip on the powerful military after his father Kim Jong Il died in December 2011. The United States and Japan are participants in six-nation nuclear disarmament talks along with the Koreas, Russia and Japan. North Korea walked out of the talks in 2009 after the United Nations condemned it for a long-range rocket launch. North Korea possesses an array of missiles. U.S. and South Korean officials do not believe the Norths claim that it has developed nuclear warheads small enough to place on a missile. Last week in Washington, South Korean President Park Geun-hye and President Barack Obama warned North Korea against further nuclear provocations. Tension between the two Koreas remains high after both sides pulled out their workers from a jointly run factory complex earlier this year. The countries remain technically at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce instead of a peace treaty.
