are optimistic that we could achieve more breakthrough results in increased community commitment, participation and partnerships in the promotion of strategies in reducing the occurrence of crime, arrest of criminals and making our communities safe, Soria added. He assured that the police in Eastern Visayas will continue to initiate comprehensive community-based crime prevention programs by strengthening partnership through the community-based policing system and monitoring the activities of Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams, which serve as the primary communitybased crime prevention partners. These are aside from sustained conduct of focused police operations and intensified campaign against all forms of illegal activities in Eastern Visayas region anchored on the sustained implementation of the Police Integrated Patrol System, the police official disclosed. Every first week of September of every year is observed as the National Crime Prevention Week pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 461 dated August 31, 1994. This years theme, Malasakit mo ay Kailangan upang Krime ay Maiwasan, is aimed at generating community awareness and appreciation of the importance and value of crime prevention and fostering interest and participation of the general public in the prevention of crime and maintaining public safety.

OL traps distributed to dengue prone areas

TACLOBAN CITY -Ovicidal-larvicidal or OL traps are currently being distributed to places with many reported dengue cases in Eastern Visayas. According to Regional Director Edgardo Esperancilla of the Department of Technology-8 (DOST-8), the giving out of OL traps is now ongoing in different schools nationwide to control the population of dengue-carrying Aedes mosquitoes. The first priority of the system are those places with high incidents of recorded dengue cases particularly in schools and other areas in the region. Thus, DOST-8 is planning to coordinate with teachers of different schools in the region to collect their reports of the first phase of implementation is done. Before distributing the OL traps, the Department of Health (DOH) will first determine the areas with most recorded dengue cases. DOH takes the responsibility of allocating more than P30 million for the procurement of OL traps this year though OL trap was developed by DOST. Further trainings will also be conducted by DOST to assess the classroom teachers on new ways of monitoring in their respective schools and on how to use the OL traps. OL trap is effective in attracting Aedes mosquitoes and at the same time, it is very lethal to hatch larvae, Esperancilla said. (PRINCESS ALEXIS B. SIGUAN/ LNU-ABCOM INTERN)

TACLOBAN CITY - In its efforts to increase awareness on the availability of low cost, safe and quality medicines, the Department of Health here (DOH8), in close partnership with the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), is celebrating the month of September as Generic Awareness Month.

also referred to as Generics Act of 1988. Under the Generics Act of 1988, physicians are required to indicate the generic names of all drugs prescribed whether through a personal prescription pad or a doctors order sheet in the hospital chart. It is required that generic names of all drugs must always be written first before a brand name which is optional and placed in parenthesis. Said act also enables adequate supply of drugs with generic names at the lowest possible cost and endeavour to make them available for free to indigent patients; and likewise, it encourages the extensive use of drugs with generic names through a rational system of procurement and distribution. In connection with this, a series of activities will be conducted by the DOH-8 and its partner agencies. These include a motorcade and symposium slated on September 18, 2013, which will be participated in by medical students from the Remedios Trinidad Romualdez Medical Foundation, St. Scholasticas College of Tacloban and the University of the Philippines School of Health Sciences that is based in Palo, Leyte.

MGB seeks help of mining firms to conduct geohazard mapping in EV

TACLOBAN CITY The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has asked the assistance of large scale miners in conducting geohazard mapping surveys in Eastern Visayas. Recently, the MGB and large scale mining firms have signed a memorandum of agreements on partnership of the governments geohazard mapping and assessment program We really need the help of mining companies in conducting 1:10,000 scale geohazard mapping assessment because we only have one geologist in our office , said MGB regional mine management division chief Romulo Babatugon. Two mining firms have already signed an agreement in the conduct of geohazard mapping in their covered area. These are the King Resources Mining Corporation operating and Cambayas Mining Corporation with mineral production sharing agreement in Eastern Samar. Babatugon said that two other firms signified their interest to participate the program in Leyte - Strong Built (Mining) Development Corporation and Northern Access Mining Corporation. Their covered area is just confined in their permit area. We will also validate the output of their assessment report, he added. The 1:10,000 scale mapping is designed to be a more detailed and comprehensive assessment. Villages and sitios will be saturated in the new mapping scale. The assessment will indicate evacuation and relocation sites as well as permanent danger zones, according to MGB. Babatugon said the mines bureau is targeting to complete new geohazards mapping and assessment of within the next two years. Participation in geohazard mapping will be credited to the companys Social Development and Management Program (SDMP) and Corporate Social Responsibility commitment. The program has been pushed for years in response to the increasing negative impacts of natural disasters. However, budget constraint and lack of personnel hindered the program. This year, the MGB is seeking to complete the geohazard survey and assessment among 16 builtup areas in the region. These are Almagro, Samar; Liloan, Libagon, Anahawan, Hinundayan in Southern Leyte; Inopacan, Leyte; Caibiran, Biliran; Biri, Lavezares, San Roque, Pambujan, Bobon, Lope de Vega, Gamay, and Mapanas in Northern Samar; and Villareal, Samar.

Permit to cut trees already issued for Burauen-Albuera road project

TACLOBAN CITY The Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Palo, here in Leyte, revealed that a permit to cut trees has already been issued by the central office of the DENR for the Burauen-Albuera road project under the Second Leyte Engineering District Office (LEDO). According to CENRO Manuel Ferreras, with the Burauen area under their jurisdiction, their office made an assessment of the affected trees at the ongoing multi-million road project, and submitted the same to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) central office. The permit was granted about two weeks ago, which means the 2nd LED can now continue their road project, Ferreras said. In the final assessment, around 41 trees are affected which are mostly dipterocarps or what is more popularly known as Lawaan. Following Executive Order No. 26 or the National Greening Program and EO No.23-the logging moratorium, DPWH must secure clearance from DENR Manila before they can proceed with their project involving cutting of trees. It can be recalled the strict rules on cutting of trees forced the DPWH second LEDO to stop civil works in Villa Corazon, the last village of Burauen, Leyte before the boundary of Albuera town. Newly assumed 2nd LED district engineer Carlos Veloso earlier said that completion of the BurauenAlbuera road is among his priorities for 2013. The 36.22-kilometer road opening project started in 2008. It traverses some rebel-infested villages in the borders of northern and western Leyte. Currently, 14.25 kilometers of the road section is concrete, 10.06 kilometers are gravel, 48 Although it remains unpredictable how long the whale sharks would stay at the area, the Bantay Dagat that spotted them said there were also butandings in Ormoc Bay in August 2011.

Soria informed that from August 6 last year when assumed post as the regions top cop, PRO8 conducted 337 successful operations resulting in the arrest of 131 persons and filing of criminal charges in court. More or less 136,782.45 board feet of assorted lumber were confiscated with an estimated worth amounting to P3.4 million, the police official added. The stepped-up implementation of Master Plan: Sangyaman is in line with the directive of PDir. Gen. Alan LM. Purisima on intensified focused police operations against all forms of illegal activities, Soria informed. Sangyaman is the PNP master plan for the protection and preservation of the environment, cultural

heritage and natural resources. The latest accomplishment was in Sogod town in Southern Leyte wherein hot lumber worth P8,500 were seized by the police, Soria added. At past 4:00 a.m. Friday, a police team led by PSInsp. Castor Cabilogan arrested two persons Marvin Palen, 32 and Glenn Cruz alias Corpong, 36 while transporting sawn lumber of Narra specie in different dimensions at Brgy. San Jose. The arrested men with the confiscated lumber estimated to be 190 board feet and two units motorcycles were brought to Sogod police station for documentation and subsequently turned over to Community Environment and Natural Resources Office in Bontoc, Southern Leyte.

meters of bridges while more than six kilometers remain unopened. The DPWH said the road will shorten travel time from Tacloban City to Ormoc City, develop upland villages, and improve the peace and order situation of rebelinfested areas. Motorists coming from the regional capital have to pass through eight towns to get to Ormoc with a distance of 107 kilometers. In the new road, travelers will reach Ormoc from Tacloban by passing through five towns with a combined road length of 89 kilometers. The project will also be a shorter route from Tacloban to Baybay City, with a difference of 30 kilometers from the existing national road.

Time to be cautious

t certainly was commendable of Pres. Benigno Aquino III, when he came to power, to rally the entire nation to go against all forms of irregularities. Its a campaign that earned him the distinction as anti-corruption President, quite different from the previous executives whose similar campaign was mostly up to words, less action. Now that the so-called mother of all scams involving Janet Lim Napoles was unearthed, the more that P-Noy had earned the peoples trust on his political will to uproot corruption in our society. His efforts paid off, and these resulted in increased investments and a vibrant economic atmosphere. The citizens likewise rejoice that somehow, they made no mistake in yet hoping for a better Philippines that is rid of lthy anomalies. Indeed, the fall of Napoles into the hands of authorities is a great milestone, knowing that she is said to be the brains behind the ten-billion-peso pork barrel scam. This development is expected to yield more discoveries of mas-

sive corruption involving high-ranking ofcials in government. As early as now, many senators and congressmen are already being identied, and expectedly, more are yet to be pinpointed. At this point, however, P-Noy should be extra prudent and cautious. In case his political allies in various government agencies are found to have conspired with Napoles, he must be quick to discipline them and not resort to covering up their misdeeds. Doing the latter would be his greatest mistake, because if he is really serious in annihilating corruption in this country, he should respect no one, even if it means ring his most loyal allies. At this very moment, thats exactly what his critics and enemies are vigilant about for P-Noy to make slight mistakes which they can blow up to great proportions in order to get even, and so they could pick on him in this era of fault-nding and mudslinging. One such false move and his anti-corruption achievements could avalanche.

Amid the high cost of living

In the midst of todays rapidly rising cost of living, the prices of goods and commodities soaring high, some employers in the corporate world remain insensitive to their workers plight. They dont give the latter a raise, nor de-load them consequently of their numerous tasks. In short, the latter are highly exploited. Supposedly, employers need not wait for labor laws and ordinances to remind them about their responsibilities to their employees. They need not wait that the workers would stage a protest, or take to the streets to voice their sentiments. Just by looking at these poor workers hardly eating three times a day is more than workers. Prices of goods keep going up, yet their salaries remain the same, some for decades already. To some workers, all they get are additional tasks, no raise. To some others, they get salary reductions instead of raise. And though their employers could see that their family needs are increasing amid the soaring cost of living, these source of income prove too calloused to see their plight. Most employers could not realize that, if workers are disgruntled, the latters work quality is diminished. This is a matter between quality and commercialized outputs. Workers, being experts of what they

enough for employers to make up their mind that, indeed, its time these workers received a raise. But, no, instead of raising workers salaries, some employers instead look for ways to lower the already insulting pay. They take advantage of the workers silence, and the latters inability to express their desires for fear of being red. Employers are quick to threaten disgruntled work-

ers with dismissal, which could lead to hunger. Between starvation and low wages, lowly workers normally go for the latter. And so the exploitation perpetuates. Worse, this could further lead to physical, mental, and other forms of abuse, the strong and powerful imposing their will on the voiceless and the helpless. This aggravates the economic conditions of untold

ca Ate Babes Custodio of DyVL, are equally thankful for this great blessing that made all the faithful, largely from the Tacloban Vicariate, to gather and thank God for the miracle. Dalmacio Gral, publisher of Leyte Samar Daily Express and one of the convenors conveyed his gratefulness as well, stating in a text message, I was overwhelmed with the many people who joined the activities showing their way of thanking God as one community as people of God. He added, I take this opportunity to say thank you very much especially to Him for giving us a very good weather and to everyone who joined and participated in the thanksgiving celebration for the graces and blessings we received and for all of us in the entire Region 8 and the city of Tacloban in particular. Thank You very much. God bless us all. For Archbishop Du, celebrating and participating in the Thanksgiving Mass is not the only way the people of God could express their gratefulness to Him. Doing sincere service to others and being humble are among the ways that man could give thanks to God. Further he exhorted that leading a life pleasing to God is itself a way to thank God for all the miracles happening in every mans life each day. In a televised Sunday Christian Bible service, Friends Again, aired on September 1, the pastor named Bishop Luis Santos stressed the lessons that could be derived when chilling phenomenon transpires such as typhoon happen. He said it is an occasion to turn to God. It develops in one person the fear of God, and for the people to turnhad been an effective strategy among big-time prisoners. We know too well that many inmates suffering more serious illnesses in overcrowded jails are not getting needed treatment for their ailments. These lowly and helpless poor criminals are surely in less-favorable conditions than the criminals who plunder our public coffers. With Janet Lim Napoles declaring herself to be sick, people are concerned that such pronouncements are another ploy of conditioning the public that she is following the steps into the suite of where top ranked ofcials and high-prole criminals suddenly suffer from common symptoms.

When chilling phenomenon transpires

On August 31 this year, a mammoth of crowd swarmed the Sto. Nio Church in Tacloban City to be one with the local media and the local church in celebrating the rst anniversary of the August Thirty-One Magnitude 7.6 Earthquake Miracle (ATOM 7.6) in a Thanksgiving Mass celebrated by His Excellency Archbishop John Forrosuelo Du, DD. Beyond the expectation of the ATOM convenors, the myriad of faithful who came to hear the mass spilled over to the plaza located across the Churchs main door. It was in itself a miracle, as Rev. Fr. Amadeo Corpuz Alvero, one of the convenors, remarked at the altar lectern before the nal blessing in said Thanksgiving Mass. Archbishop Du himself, likewise, enunciated in his homily that the presence alone of the people, their being able to participate in the celebration of the Holy Sacrice of the Mass that Saturday evening was a miracle. He said further that

This means that, if properly compensated, they can raise the quality of their work to its perfect shape. Exploited workers, too, away from sin, in that they suddenly become repentant whenever disaster strikes, and to accept Christ as their personal Savior. He said that when danger exists, a true believer has nothing to fear. As long as there are people in your heart and mind for you to rescue spiritually, you will live and not be harmed because God will rescue you.

the miracle that the people had to be thankful for was not just the one when the Magnitude 7.6 quake struck Eastern Visayas on August 31 last year, yet no one died and minimal damage was reported. This natural calamity, as Archbishop Du articulated, had the capacity to cause massive destruction. He said that the faithful should be thankful to God all the time, such that from the moment one wakes up till he sleeps at night and the air that man breaths are among the many miracles that God does and humankind should be grateful for. Fr. Alvero, who admitted that the volume of people who attended the

Thanksgiving Mass was beyond his anticipation, commented in a Facebook post, All I can say is Thank you Lord, for another miracle that you have given us - the miracle of a great number of people who thanked you today. Thanks for all those who have joined and participated the ATOM 7.6. In a text message, he further stated, It was another blessing, another miracle, which we should also be grateful of. We should thank God that He gathered us all there to express our gratitude to Him for all the wonders He has given us. Other convenors of ATOM Magnitude 7.6, namely Jeff Manibay of CATNetwork and Frances-

usually resort to cheating, no matter how honest they are. This is synonymous to lying, the weapon of the weak. It is true that man is without contentment, and this could apply to ones salary received. But we should realize that there is also such a thing as contentment. One may not be contented with something, meaning, what he gets is not enough; but he could be more or less satised, meaning, compensated for what he does. Amid all this, its really up to the employers whether they would resolve this issue or not. Say, why cant the lawmakers in high places address this instead of fattening their pockets with pork stockpiled in barrels? As it appears, this needs an intervention of lawmakers from way up there, to resolve it once and for all.

CURE OF A DEMONIAC
Jesus went to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught them on the sabbbath, and they were astonished at his teachings because he spoke with authority. In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of unclean demon, and he cried out in a loud voice, Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are-the Holy One of God! Jesus rebuked him and said, Be quiet! Come out of him! Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm. They were all amazed and said to one another. What is there about his word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out. And news of him spread everywhere in the surrounding region.

Symptoms
connement in a government hospital. Many others who belong to high society that are sent arrest orders had similarly suffered from sickness like cough or cold that would eventually be diagnosed into complications to justify bringing the supposed prisoner into the luxurious suites in the wellkept high-end hospitals. Seeing the success of the ploy where prisoners have a wide avenue to get out of jail by just falling into an illness that could be used as an alibi, people learned to use sickness as a surere alibi to stay away from prison. Notably though, only high-ranking persons get such rare opportunity of falling ill and seeking medical attention just to get out of jail or be accommodated in ashy homes of the kind owned by the rich and powerful. It is well to underscore that in our society, the lot of prisoners who are charged for high crimes are the ones who easily feel ill and fell into all sorts of sickness that are at times never heard of and are needing special treatment. Efforts to bring prisoners out of the country to seek medical treatment just to get out of jail

THERE IS A CENTRE
It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts. But that promise is a lie, for evil has lost its power at the hands of Jesus Christ. When Jesus ordered the evil spirit, Be silent, and come out of him (Lk 4:35), and it came out of the possessed man, Jesus revealed that he had come to overpower evil. In deed, he destroyed the seed of evil on Easter Sunday and has already given us, through our baptism, a share in his power over evil. That is why, St. Paul calls us sons of light and sons of the day (1 Thess 5:5). Therefore, we as believers, have within us the spiritual resources to defeat evil gradually, both in our personal lives and in humanity as a whole. A concrete example would help: When someone hurts us, ignores or rejects us, a deeper inner protest emerges. It can be rage or depression, a desire to take revenge or even an impulse to harm ourselves. It is precisely here, that we have to dig deep into our spiritual resources to defeat evil, and nd that center of power within us, the center that lives beyond our need to hurt others or ourselves, the center where we are free to overcome the evil done to us, by forgiveness and love.

From being a gifted child that could have easily attained perfect scores in the elective subject that is graft and corruption, Janet Lim Napoles had bared to the public that she too is a special child, drawing no less than top-ranked government ofcials as her caregivers. She was beaming with pride when she claimed of holding government by the neck. But she appeared deceptively meek seeking letup from media for news reports that affected her children and family. Failing to obtain the favor she sought from media, as her roundtable discussion turned the table against her, she offered incredible explanations of her tough to explain enormous wealth. The opening of stinky feces out of her well-kept closets in various houses she reportedly owned, in-

cluding the two powerful houses dubbed as the lower house and the upper house where her source of unexplainable wealth sprung, had unduly exposed all the underpinnings of her livelihood that had its roots from taxpayers money passing through legislative deepwells. The bounty was just too much to dig that only the skillful grafters could nd the easy way to reach the bulk of wealth. We need the scientic explanation from medical practitioners to enlighten us on arrest warrant and jail being a common cause for varying ailments.

TACLOBAN CITY The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Eastern Visayas is supportive of the proposed Family Tree Planting Act of 2013 that would engage Filipino families in the governments reforestation program. DENR Regional Executive Director Manolito Ragub said the proposal is most welcome to their agency since it would assure planting of more trees nationwide. House Bill 261 filed by Paranaque City Rep. Eric Olivarez calls for a mandatory planting of two trees for every child born to them. The bill provides that each couple, whether le-

gally married or not, residing in the country, shall be required to plant two trees for every child born to them. These trees shall be planted within the premises of their family home. Trees planted will be taken care of by the couples who planted them. In turn, their children will take care of these trees as a sign of love, respect and as living memories of their parents, Ragub said.

Several problems arose during the first few weeks of implementation of the paperless session at the Sangunian Panglalawigan, but was immediately provided solutions by employees of the Leyte SP who are incharge for operating the LTS. The LTS was created by an IT expert from the regional office of the Department of Interior and Local Government and was given to them freely during the incumbency of now third district Board Member Ma. Mimmietta Bagulaya, then the vice governor and later governor of Leyte. LTS was created to provide on-time delivery or sending of municipal and city Sangunian documents like resolutions and ordinances to the provincial legislative building for approval of the provincial board. This also aims to protect the environment by lessening the usage of paper that were made from trees that were cut. (ROEL AMAZONA)

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has a budget of P60 million for the rehabilitation efforts in the next four years. Until 2012, the project had been undertaken through a loan from the World Bank. Research activities have been concentrating on identifying proper forest and plant species adaptable to the area, soil amelioration that is conducive for forest growth, final investigation on the characteristics of the acidic rocks and water of the

abandoned site as well as the proper neutralization technologies for acidic water. The mine has been blamed for degrading the quality of the Taft River causing fish kills, siltation, and overflowing leading to the inundation of agricultural land - and the death of crops - along its banks. Babatugon said rehabilitation works on the site, abandoned 21 years ago, include reforestation, mitigation of acid drainage, soil stabilization, construction of laboratory building and putting up of structures to stop soil erosion.

TACLOBAN CITY -Frustrated by the relentless violence in the city, which reveals of teenagers involvement in various crimes, the city council is ready to revisit the controversial possibility of imposing a curfew hours from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for minors, or those aged 17 and below. However, they are still on the process of studying it to determine how the proposal will be implemented, if it is not a violation of childrens human rights. It was learned that the city council would hold a meeting with the police and the Bureau of Fire Protection to address the curfew questions as well as other law enforcement issues. According to Vice Mayor Jerry Sambo Yaokasin, enforcing night time curfew is a proactive way in curbing gang violence or gang activities. They saw curfews as a way to involve parents, as a deterrent to future crime, and as a way to keep juveniles from being victimized, Yaokasin told Leyte Samar Daily Express. According to Yaokasin, aside that curfew gives the police probable cause to stop someone they think is suspicious, this makes the streets safer especially at night. The city government aims for a crime-free environment wherein the people can roam the city streets without feeling afraid that they would be victimized by criminal elements. The city vice mayor calls on the residents and stakeholders to share in the responsibility of keeping the city safe and peaceful. It is their civic duty to help keep the community peaceful, just as they are obliged to keep the environment clean, Yaokasin said. Meanwhile, the police had assured the public to increase police visibility and increase
