Archbishop Du marks 7.6 magnitude tremor

By JOEY A. GABIETA

Divine intervention

TACLOBAN CITY-God gave us a new day to live. Thus said Archbishop John Du, archbishop of Palo, in his homily during a Thanksgiving Mass commemorating the anniversary of the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that hit the region exactly a year ago yesterday.

Du led the Thanksgiving Mass at the Santo Nio Church assisted by the parish priests of the Santo Nio Parish which teemed with faithful who earlier joined a procession around the citys streets. Police estimates the crowd at more than 10,000, one of the biggest crowds joining a Church-related activity in the city. Among The archbishop said that the 7.6 magnitude tremor that hit Eastern Visayas on the night of August 31, 2012 was a terrible earthquake that could have caused unimaginable consequences if not Gods intervention. to page 6

Mayor Romualdez committed to help city police oce, his information ocer says
TACLOBAN CITY The administration of Mayor Alfred Romualdez has been giving and will continue to give support to the City Police Office much more than what the national headquarters of the Philippine National Police is giving them. City information officer Bernardita Bering Valenzuela emphasized this during the Kapihan Ha Balyuan, a weekly press conference of the city government. The city government under Mayor Romualdez has provided the police with motorcycles, patrol cars, guns and ammunitions, hotlines, handheld radios, SWAT Team equipment, water system, including the police building, fuel support in order to help them deliver what is expected of them in curbing crimes in the city, Valenzuela said. Valenzuela asked the police leadership here to ask their national headquarters to give them more support to augment the resources it is getting from the local government. According Senior Inspector Ma. Bella Rentuaya, information officer of the City Police Office, among the police stations in the region, the Tacloban Police Office is so blessed that Mayor Romualdez is supportive of them. Rentuaya appealed to the public to report any crime incident to the nearest police station around the city so that the police can take the necessary action. This way, the police can plot incident occurrences that will be their basis in addressing these concerns, she added. Rentuaya admitted that with a big area under their jurisdiction with more than 200,000 population, they could not right away response to any crime occurrence considering that they are undermanned. The Tacloban City Police Office has only 292 policemen and women, ten percent of them are deploy in office works. Rentuaya said if the ideal ratio of one police officer per 1,000 population, Tacloban should have about 600 police strength. But their lack of personnel is compensated with the assistance being extended by the city government under Mayor Romualdez, she said.

Napoles stays in Makati jail for now

MANILA (2nd Update) -- Businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles will remain at the Makati City jail for the time being while authorities are making some improvements in her detention facility at the Fort Sto. Domingo in Laguna, Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II announced Saturday. Napoles will not be moved today, Roxas said at a press briefing after inspecting the facility, which serves as a training camp of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Special Action Force. The Makati Regional Trial Court branch 150 on Friday has cleared the way for Napoles transfer from the Makati jail to the police training camp in Laguna. The order came after presiding judge Elmo Alameda heard a motion for reconsideration on the Commitment Order issued Thursday. At the court hearing, security officials said the Makati jail was not safe enough. The head of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Metro Manila and the acting warden of the Makati City jail suggested the transfer to the police training camp citing clear danger to Napoles life. Alameda initially ordered Napoles transfer from the PNP national headquarters at Camp Crame in Quezon City to the Makati City jail. At the press briefing, Roxas said the Fort Sto. Domingo was not ready yet to receive Napoles due to some security enhancements being done in the 25-square meter detention facility, which previously held several high value detainees. Previously detained at the training camp are former President Joseph Estrada and son Jinggoy and Moro National Liberation Front chair Nur Misuari. Closed-circuit television cameras will be installed at the visitors area and inside the detention facility to ensure Napoles safety and record all movement inside the jail, Roxas said. Visitors of Napoles will be limited to her lawyers, doctors and family members. A log book will be placed at the entrance of the camp to record everyone who will come and visit the detained businesswoman. Cooking appliances, air conditioner and cellphones will also be prohibited inside the jail, Roxas added. Napoles will share the provisions given to PNP trainees at the camp. Roxas said guidelines set by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) on the bringing of things inside the detention facility will be strictly followed. The SAF and the CIDG have already set up an operational plan to secure Napoles. Aside from the permanent personnel of SAF at the Fort Sto. Domingo, additional PNP personnel will augment security forces at the Laguna camp. Ginagawa namin ang lahat para matugunan ang utos ng korte at gayun din para masigurado natin yung kaligtasan (ni Napoles), Roxas said. In Makati, members of the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) gathered outside of the Makati jail Saturday to denounce the alleged VIP

treatment for the pork barrel scam suspect. But Roxas said, Inaayos natin ang seguridad niya hindi dahil VIP siya kundi dahil gusto natin humarap siya sa proseso ng batas. Kaya nga may rage ang ating mga kababayan kasi tanggap ng lahat na may kinalaman siya sa scam na ito. I think na mauunawaan ng ating mga kababayan na yung preservation ng kanyang buhay ay hindi dahil VIP siya pero dahil gusto natin siyang humarap siya sa buong proseso ng ating batas, he added. When asked to comment on the negative reactions he receives from the public, Roxas said hes just doing his job. Mas ninanais ko na ma-criticize ako na iniinspect ko ito kesa macriticize ako na hindi ko ginawa ang trabaho ko, he said. The media will not be allowed to enter the detention facility but Roxas said the PNP

will release photos of the detention cell once they are ready. Napoles who is facing serious illegal detention charges surrendered to President Benigno Aquino III Wednesday after evading arrest for two weeks. Her accuser Benhur Luy also tagged Napoles as mastermind of the alleged multi-billion peso pork barrel fund scam, which involves the funneling of priority development assistance funds of lawmakers to fake beneficiaries. Aside from Napoles, her brother Reynald Lim was also a suspect in the non-bailable serious illegal detention charge. He remains at large. (GLAIZA

Mister Donut to open more outlets in E. Visayas

TACLOBAN CITY Fast food retail store Mister Donut is on expansion mode in Eastern Visayas. The food chain is aiming to double the number of existing stores in the region until 2014, banking on improved infrastructure and demand for popular food retail brand in rural areas. Richard Young, chief executive officer of RY-MD Food Chain Inc., the exclusive franchisee of Mister Donut in Region 8 and Region 13, said that part of their short-term expansion plan is to open up dine- in restaurants, offering rice and chicken in addition to donuts. Currently, Mister Donut has 21 stores in the region and the plan is to establish 40 stores by next year. Looking at the present corporate directions, 40 shops in more than a year is possible. The market may not be good in provinces but we want people to feel the presence of national brand in rural areas, Young told Leyte Samar Daily Express. Young is eyeing to put up new take-out shops in Biliran province, Isabel and Palompon in Leyte. Mister donut will also revive its presence in Eastern Samar after it closed down stores in 2011, due to bad roads and damaged bridges. From 2008 to 2011, Mister Donut operated shops in General Macarthur, Taft, Dolores and Oras and in Borongan City. Now that the road has been improving, we are planning to reopen in Eastern Samar, Young said referring to the ongoing road project funded by the United States connecting Samar and Eastern Samar provinces. Dine-in restaurants will also be set up in Baybay City and Hilongos, both in Leyte and in Maasin City. Additional stores will also be opened in Ormoc City. Since 2007, 21 stores have been operating in the cities of Tacloban, Baybay and Ormoc and in the towns of Carigara, Jaro, Tanauan and Hilongos, all in Leyte; Catarman and Allen in Northern Samar; Sogod and Maasin in Southern Leyte; and in the cities of Catbalogan and Calbayog in Samar. Of the 21 shops, five are dine-in restaurants located in Calbayog, Allen, Catarman, Calbayog, and Tacloban. The food chain has also nine mobile stores. Mister Donut put up a plant in this city to support several shops with a capacity to produce up to 42,000 pieces of donuts daily. The food chain delivers fresh products daily to all dine-in restaurants and take-out booths. (SARWELL

Health info outsourcing offers nurses jobs

OPPORTUNITIES for unemployed nursing and other medical graduates in the Philippines are increasing as the healthcare information management (HIM) outsourcing industry in the country continues to thrive. Healthcare Information Management Outsourcing Association of the Philippines chairman Jeff Williams said the high demand for medical graduates in the HIM industry is due to the recent healthcare reform in the United States, known as the Obamacare or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which requires a wider coverage and quality health services. With about 200,000 unemployed nursing graduates, Williams said, the Philippines should take advantage of the thriving industry. He said positions available in the healthcare outsourcing industry include medical transcriptionist and medical coders. Wage He said these jobs are well-paid, offering above minimum wages. At present, there are around 45,000 full-time employees working in the HIM industry in the Philippines, said Williams. He said revenues from HIM in 2012 was recorded at $460 million. He expects demand to increase. He said US companies prefer to work with Filipinos in the HIM industry because they consider Filipinos highly educated, medical-oriented yet under-utilized. He also said the Philippines young population is also a plus factor compared to US with an aging workforce in the medical field. Age At present, the average age of registered nurses in the US is 47 years old. About 25 percent of nurses in the US are above 54 years old. Good work ethics is also an asset of the Filipino medical practitioners, said Williams. He said that in his 10 years in the HIM outsourcing business in the Philippines, he did not receive any negative feedback from clients. Global Quest chief operating officer Marietta Siazon-Reyes said there are a number of healthcare outsourcing companies in Cebu today. She said Cebu-based medical course graduates can take advantage of these opportunities. She said they can start working as medical transcriptionists who will transcribe audio files recorded by a physician or a healthcare practitioner. They can also become medical coders who will keep track of the patients medical re-

cords. Familiar Although these positions are also open to non-medical graduates, Reyes said, employers prefer those who are medical graduates since they are more familiar with terms and concepts. Jerome Romea, president and chief executive officer of US-based healthcare consulting and billing company Saint Joseph Medical Managers, said Filipino medical graduates need not go overseas to land good-paying jobs. I think the growing industry of healthcare outsourcing in the Philippines is helping our Filipino nursing graduates, said Romea, a Filipino based in the US. Romea also addressed the possibility of running out of Filipino healthcare information workers with the decreasing number of students getting a nursing degree today. He said he is positive that the locales will fill the demand when they see that the HIM industry is really thriving. Romea also pointed out that medical graduates are not aware of the opportunities waiting for them in the HIM industy. He hopes that the government and the academe will educate medical students about the opportunities waiting for them after they graduate. (SUNNEX)

They really are the ones who know the problems in the grounds not the congressmen, who more often than not, stays in the metropolis, Encinas, who is a councilor from the town of San Julian, said. Encinas, however, admitted that his suggestion would not mean that there would be no possible misuse of funds if these would be directly given to the local officials. But at least any corruption would be lessen as the planning in the ground would be collec-

tive, he said. And with the congressmen no longer burden with the dispensation of pork barrel, they could now concentrate on their legislative works, Encinas said. Encinas, however, said that while there is a clamor for the possible rechanneling of the pork barrel funds to the local government units, their group has yet to come up with a formal manifesto. But chances are, well come out with a formal statement regarding this issue, he said. The councilors league in Eastern Samar is composed of 232 members

coming from the provinces 22 towns and the city of Borongan. The call to abolish the pork barrel, officially known as the Priority Development Assistance Development (PDAF), of congressmen and senators came about amid allegation of fraud committed by Janet Lim Napoles. Napoles was accused to be the brains behind the P10 billion pork barrel scam. She is now detained at the Makati City Jail on charge not in siphoning the funds but for serious illegal detention against her relative.(JOEY A. GABIETA)

Is it too early for Christmas?

f there is one place in this world where Christmas is celebrated beginning September and ending ofcially on Valentines Day the following year, its only in the Philippines. Early shoppers have begun trooping to department stores. Some have started designing their houses with their own Christmas themes. Christmas items in stores have begun to attract early buyers even if Christmas is still months away. But who cares, the spirit of Christmas reigns in the hearts of fun-loving, hard-working and resilient Filipinos. As September starts, little bits of Christmas begin to pop up and with those Christmas items. Was this really a big deal? Was it such a big deal that we have to open up the discussion

about Christmas arriving too early? Here is the thing. Christmas is by far the biggest holiday of the year. It is this massive holiday that ends each year and it is the favorite holiday of many. Everyone loves Christmas, or most do, so why not get started on it in September? Plenty of people start putting up Christmas decorations the day after August 31. Sure, some people may disagree but it is their choice. Christmas comes but once a year, and while it dominates four months out of the calendar, it is a holiday of such magnitude, this is expected. So, sit back, listen to Christmas carols, watch the Christmas lights and enjoy these next four months for Christmas season!

God is our only salvation!

Truly, God has His always His way, and His own way belongs to no other but to Himself. The only sad fact about it is, and has been that, generations that come and go, have never come together to think and act as one. While efforts continue to take place to achieve that ultimate goal, population expands (Earth as of last year already recorded 7 billion men and women, babies just born and oldest humans in the verge of dying. But God keeps watching. He cares, and never forgets to look after His children and their nations. Thats how much He loves men and women after Adam and Eve, and the world around them. He intervenes when necessary, or even introduces newer things that never was known to humans anytime before and now. City where his little kingdom dwells.

Hail the chief executive!

The move of the President abolishing PDAF is the glory to a brilliant leadership. The announcement caught the Filipino people with mix-feelings of surprise, wonder and delight. barangay government if their request for funds will not be included in the current years appropriation. They should not play politics to make it appear the request is submitted, though, it is already in excess. Just be truthful for the barangay folks to love the lawmaker. We know the P70 Million is enough only good for 70 barangays at One Million pesos each. Take for example Ormoc City has 110 barangays, though, around 30% are in the city proper. Therefore, the P70 Million is good for Ormoc City only. How about the municipalities in the 4th legislative district of Leyte? They have to wait for the next appropriations. One Million pesos is not even enough to concretize a kilometer of sixmeter road. Like some people say, It is better than none. Why are some legislators able to have projects worth more than the P70 Million in their districts? They beg from the PDAF of the Senators. Each senator shares portion of the P200 Million to their favorite congresspersons. One thing I notice, there are congresspersons having projects done in cities having sufficient revenue to finance the improvements in their locality. They did because they woo the votes from the city. Instead of pouring the money to the less income local government units within their districts, they funded projects that the city government can easily does. Senate President Franklin Drilon and House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte may encounter difficulty to have the lawmakers agree how to establish a foolproof system, if nothing good for the new method; the people may not take it completely. Many unpleasant events are happening these days at the other side of the globe that we do not want to occur here. We may reason we are imperfect persons that any system adopted may not be perfect for others. (Feedback welcome, g_duna@ yahoo.com)

Persisting scam trauma

When The Strong Weep is the head we tacked on our column on Sen. Jose Diokno (1922-1987): See his track record in the context of Commission on Audits Grace Pulido Tans report Thursday, to the Senate Blue Ribbon committee, on mass pork barrel fraud. If born 30 years earlier, historian Ambeth Ocampo said he could have watched Diokno or Sen. Claro Recto debate. The Senate had Lorenzo Taada, Emmanuel Pelaez, Jovito Salonga,. Now, senators get P65,000 engraved Montblanc pens from scams Janet Lim-Napoles. COA nails six senators and 23 congressmen in the scam. Im a Martial Law baby, born 1986, Gerald Gooco emailed. But Ive read enough to marvel at Dioknos greatness. The left claimed the senator as their own even if Diokno was beyond their narrow ideological ideas. His legacy should be retold to our amnesia stricken people, so we embrace his ideals. Im not strong, and I wept when I read the column, emailed Emil F. Cuenca, 65. Sadly, the Marcoses thrive today. The battle of Marcos vs Aquino in thus future can be a real test. If that time comes, victims/witnesses should rise. I never tire at being reminded. After ( arbitrary ) detention Diokno taught at Ateneo, recalls lawyer Jose F. Justiniano. As his student,. I was inspired by the man. I became the first associate he hired. practice. Pay was not at par with big law offices. That was irrelevant because of training I got from the best trial lawyer. He was an unselfish mentor. After Diokno spoke, not an eye remained dry in that Senate hall. It was a segment of Philippine history I was privileged to personally witness, Cogito728sum emailed.. It fortified the Filipino in me, for which I am forever grateful. Senators of Dioknos time were men of the highest breed, focused on excellent public service wrote Pipsirho. Senators of today are men of the highest greed only focused on pork Yes, yes,. agreed Quirino Mayer. Jose Diokno was no diok. Almost all our senators now are jokes and pig-like. Instead of statesmen, the Senate has Bongbong Marcos, Bong Revilla, Jinggoy Estrada, Tito Sotto, Ponce Enrile, Gringo Honasan and Lito Lapid,. , tra6Gpeche emailed. What a difference Indeed,.

He was lucky the dictatoirship ended in his lifetime;.But if

Hard hit of PDAF (Priority Development Assistance Fund) abolition may seem are lawmakers who marvel what will happen within the three years without the million pesos lump sum. For conscientious lawmakers the abolition of PDAF means nothing. For them it is good riddance for the temptation to corruption is nil. For the unscrupulous will be sleepless nights pondering how to recover the million pesos spent buying votes. Night and day will pass thinking how the inclusion to the General Appropriations Act will not diminish their share from the contractors whom they have chosen to win the rigged bidding. At least 20% of the contract price of a project has to flow to their campaign chest. Will it be the same? The ingenuity of the Filipino people to concoct a formula for corruption ala-Napoles modus operandi (method of operation) is difficult to guess. Will the unscrupulous lawmakers still trust the contractors will not whistles. Albeit some contractors of government projects have been complaining of the bad practice they cannot come out into the open for fear to loss the chance of earning even a small percentage of the project cost. Fear of railroading in the bids and awards committee upon instructions of the lawmaker. Janet Lim-Napoles surrender may reveal how the scheme was perpetrated. Her cohorts to reveal should be the true accomplices, not mere scapegoats for her to become a state witness. To convict her may mean President Benigno Aquino III is really up to accomplish the daan matuwid, in English,

straight path. However, if she is convicted and jailed, will she be treated just like the other women behind bars eating and sleeping together? Or, because she has mucho dinero she will be in the privilege area where she will be served by other prisoners? The peoples expectation to end corruption in the government may only be a dream. The maxim steal millions and live like a king even inside the Muntinlupa prison may be difficult to comprehend. That is reality! In government projects, corruption is known to exist, but to prove it is difficult. Why? As long as the contractors are willing victims of corruption, the system will still be the same. How can corruption cease? That is the assignment of the think tanks in the presidential office to study a system. It must not be a mere system, but foolproof. In allocating funds for the constituents of the lawmakers something special has to be done. There are Barangays without sufficient revenue to fund the programs of work in their respective locality. Identification of the projects needed by the people has to originate from the Barangay government. The Barangay government should be the one to submit the program of work that has the estimated cost. The program of work should be included in Barangay Development Councils recommendation to Sangguniang Barangay for resolution. The resolution submitted to the congressional office for disposition whether or not will be included in the General Appropriations Act. The lawmaker should be honest to advise the

Ninoy was fighting for the freedom of his motormouth, Weder-Weder Lang adds: He was detained for being public enemy no. 1 and rabblerouser no. 1, and needed some re-education. In his delusion, Ninoythought that a nation should be built first on abstract concepts of human rights without securing the building blocks of basic human needs. Today, the same sins of the father are visited upon the son. A legacy of failures bequeathed from father to mother, and then mother to son. The father was a rebel without a cause, the mother a failure without remorse, the son a tragedy without recourse. This has to be the dumbest thing this morning, snapped Fire Engine; Weder-Weder retoried: You just saw yourself in the mirror. Which brought on the whiplash :Marcos loyalist/crony? is that you?

And how would that combat corruption? Diokno was Secretary of Justice when Diosdado Macapagal was president. Allin Lawis Fair recalls He probed tax evasion charges against Harry Stonehill who bribed some legislators. Stonehill was let off by summary deportation. Angered, Diokno ran as opposition candidate and won. Among present members of that once august Senate, only Juan Ponce Enrile may have compared with elder statesmen when it comes to intelligence. But there the similarity ends He used his intelligence in a manner equal to the gutter level of his colleagues --- as shown in the testimony of the `10th whistleblower.

ern Samar. Government authorities in the region declared of no major damage to the said earthquake, considered to be the strongest to hit the region in 20 years. During his homily, Du asked the faithful to bow and humble themselves before God as he said that what happened a year ago was a reminder from God that anything could happen even in a split of a second. The prelate said that a miracle happen among us even in ordinary day from waking up until we lay down to sleep. Du thus urged the thousands of faithful who

profit organisations -- such as the Caritas International humanitarian organisation. The decree is just the latest in a series of bold moves on the part of the pontiff to clean up the institutions murky financial image. It is a means of ensuring the road (towards transparency) continues, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said in a press conference. In todays world, it is all about resisting increasingly insidious forms of financial criminality. We have to be equal to the challenges in order to protect legality, and not be left behind, he said. The Vatican is attempting to reform its finances to get onto a white list of states that respect international fraud rules. What has been hailed as a potential revolution by many religious watchers began with the appointment mid-June of one of the popes trusted allies to oversee management of the Institute for Religious Works (IOR) -- as the bank is known. By Aug. 10, the Reuters reported from Vatican City: Pope Francis on Thursday strengthened monitoring of the Vatican bank to prevent money laundering or the financing of terrorism as part of his campaign to clean it up after decades of scandal. - Pope Francis has made cleaning up the Vatican administration one of his central goals since his election in March. He has brought in international experts to advise him on economic affairs, improve transparency and enforce accounting principles. - The Vaticans financial dealings are again under scrutiny after the arrest of a senior Catholic priest at the center of a money smuggling case. Italian prosecutors are investigating two former IOR top executives on suspicion of repeatedly breaking Italian money laundering laws. In 2010, Rome magistrates froze 23 million euros ($30.6 million) held by the IOR in an Italian bank. The Vatican said its bank was merely transferring funds between its own accounts in Italy and Germany. The funds were released in 2011 but the money laundering investigation continues. In the Philippines, President Benigno Noynoy Aquino III declared that the time is now to abolish the pork barrel. Quite leading to that declaration has been a series of public disclosures that Janet Napoles, some non-government organizations and some senators and members of the House of Representatives had been making use of the pork bar-

rel (its more high-falutin term has been priority development assistance fund, abbreviated into PDAF), had been cornering billions of pesos from government public funds, for several years already, for expenditures that never actually saw forms in beneficial public or community projects, all under shady and highly questionable circumstances. Last Aug. 26, some parts of the Philippines, beginning with Manila, shouted the taxpayers and ordinary Filipinos angry demand to abolish the pork barrel or PDAF. Then, finally, Napoles yielded (never mind if voluntarily or however in reality) to Pres. Noynoy and got detained although still on a lighter, albeit non-bailable offense of serious illegal detention (alleged abduction and illegal detention of Benhur Luy, the so-called primary whistleblower of the alleged pork barrel and P900-million Malampaya scams) . We could try to imagine that these things, these drastic changes, came about because God so willed, at a time when the bigger parts of the worlds populations were getting frustrated and losing hope and a time when some already troubled nations were moving in warlike punctuations. Any one leaders thought to lead the course to what had the world unveiled in a series of events could not have come alone by itself. That thought could have only been guided by some divine sublime. And since that must happen, the good results could only be forthcoming. Each time God intervenes, good things happen. The only sadder thing about it is when wily thoughts change the course of good outcomes, for evil, and for the devil, and saddest, when the already weak will of men and women, allows itself to be subjugated after being subservient for a certain period of time, to the devils temptations of wealth, power, influence, command, and glory. Yesterdays ATOM event, whose time came finally came after nearly a year of being broached out by ones simple and unqualified me-

dia man in Tacloban highly urbanized city, could only have been divinely inspired. Jeff Manibay could not have possibly talked to many hearts all by himself. It was perhaps God who helped get his idea - of the August Thirty-One Miracle thanksgiving serial, thanking God for not allowing Samar, Leyte, Biliran islands and people to be devastated by the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that last August 31, 2012 shook the region from several kilometers down deep in the seas off Guiuan town of Eastern Samar in the Pacific Ocean - fertilized, understood, accepted and widely supported, by fellow media practitioners, the church, and sensitive community leaders groups. And all that may be proceeding from these multiple phenomenal events can only prompt us to keep thanking God, and always shun and crush evil. These events are our present-day chariots of fire. Next year, the ATOM may expand and cover half, a two-thirds, or the whole of Eastern Visayas in its pasasalamat, thanks for a continuing crusade by both the media and the Catholic communities to awaken and enlighten more and more Waray denizens. Events may show growing acceptance. The 3 million Waray people in Region VIII lamp-lighting to it may even influence, no matter indirectly (such as when their initiatives get posted in FaceBook, Twitter, or whichever), other people in the Philippines to join in next years second ATOM . When that happens, who would dare say one miracle thanked for did not lead to a continuing salvation from earthquake disasters? For todays post-miraculous consequences, while we thank Pope Francis, President Aquino, and Jeff of CAT8 cable television and Massey Grafil of Leyte Samar Daily Express and Fr. Alvero and radio station manager Babes Custodio of DyVL for all their efforts, we give our biggest thanks to God. Above all, thank you, Dear God, for giving us good leaders in their persons and like them. Amen.

An earthquake that strong could have destroyed a considerable part of the citythousands of lives could have been lostif not for Gods intervention, Du said in his nine-minute homily.
