PRO-8 anti-illegal gambling drive nets 7 persons

CAMP KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte -- The intensified anti-illegal gambling operations conducted by the Police Regional Office 8 (PRO8) resulted in the arrest of seven persons in Samar, Leyte and Southern Leyte provinces. Police Chief Superintendent Elmer Soria, PRO8 director, said that while his men are conducting stepped-up implementation of illegal gambling laws, partnership with the community is still needed to sustain the momentum his office has gained in minimizing the gambling menace. The fight against illegal gambling will only succeed through stronger partnership with various stakeholders including local officials, the members of the religious sector and the media, the police official added. He informed that he directed police chiefs to coordinate with elected local officials to mapout strategies and gather community support in the anti-gambling crusade. On Thursday evening, two successive operations conducted by the Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG) in Pinabacdao and Villareal towns in Samar resulted in the apprehension of two suspected collectors of illegal numbers game locally known as swertres. At around 6:00 p.m., operation conducted at Brgy. Mambog, Pinabacdao town by RSOG led by PInsp. Constantino Jabonete, Jr. led to the arrest of Leo Abinguna, 55, while collecting bets for swertres and the recovery of one bundle of stub containing entry of different number combinations and bets dated July 10, 2013 for 9:00 p.m. draw, swertres tip, ballpen and P150.00 cash bet. An hour later, same police team conducted anti-gambling operations at Sitio Lusong, Brgy. Canmucat, Villareal town leading to the arrest of one Rogelio Oreo, alias Bagwis, 30, while engaged collecting swertres tally sheets containing dierent number combinations and bets dated July 10, 2013. In Leyte, police operations conducted in Brgy. Combis, Dulag and Brgy. Sawang, Carigara towns resulted in the arrest of Armando Oteros, 34, and Roy Urmeneta, 37, respectively, with total confiscated cash bet of P320.00 and several swertres paraphernalia. Anti-illegal gambling operations in Liloan, Hinunangan and Tomas Oppus towns resulted in the arrest of three persons - Roland Sirel, Alfredo Aling and Roel Montibon while engaged in collecting bets for swertres with total confiscated bet amounting to P490.00 and several gambling paraphernalia confiscated. Soria informed that cases for violation of Presidential Decree 1602 as amended by Republic Act 9287 (Anti-Illegal Numbers Game) were already filed against the suspects. (PR)

Only Brgy. 37 completed the activity, wherein 14 children under the age bracket of 5 to 17 years old were found engaged in hazardous work in the citys market and wharf. Citing their preliminary assessment, Panao said child workers in Region 8 are engaged in pedicab driving, child trafficking, child prostitution, househelp, farm labor, quarrying, garbage collection, deep sea fishing, passenger vehicle and motorboat crew and market vending.

CAMP KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte Police authorities are conducting thorough investigation and validation on the alleged link of a former local chief executive to illegal gambling in the province of Samar following reports of his meddling with an anti-illegal gambling operations conducted recently. Former three-term Catbalogan City Mayor Coefredo Tekwa Uy, who topped the Sangguniang Panglungsod race in the recent midterm polls, is in hot waters after he allegedly uttered threatening words and leveled accusations to members of the Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG) that arrested four persons engaged in illegal gambling activities on Thursday night in Catbalogan City. Uy is the father of incumbent Catbalogan City Mayor Stephanie Uy-Tan and half-brother of one alias Syote Uy, allegedly an illegal gambling financier operating in the city and neighboring municipalities.

The rampage only ended when responding policemen, led by the town chief of police, Senior Inspector Delfin Tan, went to the village and arrested the suspect. Cases of multiple murder and frustrated murder were filed against Telen before the Provincial Prosecutors Office. Telen is now detained at the Maasin City Jail for his own security, Orbeta said. Orbeta said that they decided to detain the suspect at the Maasin City Jail for fear that PO2 Caidoy would do some drastic acts against him. He might do something against the suspect out of revenge so we have decided to detain him at the Maasin City Jail, Orbeta said.

Ignored fare discounts

respect that ordinance. They still charge students with the same fare that they charge to ordinary passengers. This burdens the poor students nancially due to their constant attendance in their classes. Even if, inside the vehicle, they remind the driver about the discount to claim, the driver oftentimes just ignore them, or dismiss them with arrogant words. Wheres the teeth of this mandate if drivers just deliberately ignore it? Of course, majority of students just dont mind paying the fare to avoid arguments, knowing that its just a matter of centavos they could claim, but the big difference there could be seen if the time they spend riding these vehicles is stretched to a month, or a year. Perhaps this is one thing the authorities should look into. Students do not complain for lack of time, but it should be the authorities that should run after this erring drivers. Its a violation of the law on the drivers part, so it should be addressed for the welfare of poor students.

he discounted fare that students are supposed to enjoy had been rampantly ignored by drivers of passenger vehicles nowadays, making the mandate useless, and depriving the young commuters of a privilege that they so deserve. Everyday during weekdays, students go to school and then later in the day, head back home. This makes them regular commuters, or constant costumers of passenger vehicles. They almost sustain the livelihood of drivers in that case. As such, they deserve some kind of privilege from the latter, hence the implementation of a discounted fare for students as ensured by ordinances. Theres another good reason for such discount besides their being constant commutersthese students are not yet earning; they are just dependent upon parents and guardians and do not have enough money for their mobility. The discount drivers are supposed to offer them helps them ease up their nancial handicap. But as what happens, drivers do not seem to

The night I ew back home

It seemed like I darted from Ormoc to Tacloban last Friday night, not on a pair of wings which I dont have, neither on an airplane which doesnt exist, nor on a broom with extended handle, but inside one of these so-called mini-vans which are renowned for their speedy trips as they traverse the highways connecting major towns and cities. As we zoomed through the dark night, for a number of times, I thought of instructing the driver to stop the vehicle so I could get out and just wait by the roadside for the next passenger vehicle to pass by. I felt like it was suicidal for gest wind before our eyes. Were it not for the road cracks that often jolted the vehicle, we could have felt as though we were oating above the highway, the tires not touching the cemented ground below. We could hear inside the van that, almost always, the engine was on high gear, and for sure, we would have suffocated due to air pressure had the windows been open. In my frequent trips to Cebu in the past three years to pursue my graduate studies, I had always taken these vans to Ormoc and back. I would usually

It occurred to me that, should I continue that trip, the likelihood of my ending up as a heap of mangled body later on was not remote, given the lightning speed which the vehicle had. For several times along the way, the van we were on had overtaken countless other vans, buses,

and fast luxury vehicles. Even if they were lining up in long row ahead of us, our van would just overtake them all, as though they were stationary and not in any way moving forward.

If Sr. Gemma admonished against PMS on the perspective of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Rev. Fr. Amadeo Alvero, who had his licentiate in Social Communications in Rome, denounce this act as a grave sin, violating the sixth commandment which is Thou shall not commit adultery. He explained, Sexual activity is naturally ordered to the good of the married couples or spouses. It is therefore reserved only for married couples whose main purpose of their marital act is geared towards procreation and education of children. The youth then should not haste but rather should wait until the right time for them to get married. In this cyber age, morality and chastity oftentimes take the back seat. Liberality is taking toll on varied aspects of mans existence, including his spirituality and civility, setting aside norms and dogmas just to advance ones lustful desire. The indoctrination of wild culture from the information highway is sometimes making values hard lesson to teach to the young generation of today. The moral ber among the misguided youth is ostensibly blamed on the poor mooring of Christian values in the family.

The proposal to abolish the youth organization in our political setup may not be the apt answer to the corruption that to page 6

The LSDE headline news yesterday disclosed that 23 percent of the youth of Tacloban City are engaged in pre-marital sex (PMS), making the city one of the highest in PMS incidence in the region. The respondents coming from the different barangays in the city aged between 15 and 25 years old. Authorities claimed that PMS happen either at their homes, homes of their friends, boarding houses, lodging houses or worse in open spaces like in dim part of parks. Besides the pornographic materials, curiosity or adventurism, peer pressure and being under the inuence of liquor and prohibited drugs, were among the underpinning factors named in the report. A separate report also in yesterdays issue of this broadsheet revealed that teenage pregnancy covers even younger age to as young as 12 years old. Adolescents discover more about sex at younger ages due to social media accessibility and the absence of moral guidance. Early, exploitative and risky sexual activity may lead to health and social problems, for instance, unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, the news added.

Living in the shared vision of our acknowledged national hero, government has recognized by law the significant role of the youth as being the hope of the fatherland. It is in line with such vision that our Constitution had enshrined as one fundamental state principle the recognition of the vital role of the youth in nation building. That constitutional principle was given real meaning in the enabling law, RA 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991, whereby the youth was afforded participation and representation in the affairs of government. Leaders of the youth organization which is the Katipunan ng Kabataan are elected by its members to compose the Sangguniang Kabataan. The one elected as chairman of the Sangguniang Kabataan is afforded a seat in the Sangguniang Barangay as ex-officio member representing the youth. It is the privilege granted to the SK chairman as member of the barangay council which entitles the youth leader honorarium and other monetary perks like the regular members of the council.

REPROACHES TO UNREPENTANT TOWNS

[Jesus} began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented. Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum: Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld. For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.

ULTIMATE JUSTICE
When the announcement appeared in the parish bulletin that a gay and lesbian support group was forming in the parish, Archie confronted the pastor. He ranted that it was not right for the church to welcome homosexuals. The pastors response was gentle, but rm. He pointed out that, according to Jesus, the people of Sodom will get off lighter on the day of judgment than will the people from whom judgment comes. Jesus is condent that those who live under condemnation will show the most mercy. And in the kingdom of God mercy is the key. Jesus came to demonstrate that mercy and forgiveness have the greatest power over sin, and ultimately even over death. But those who persist in judgment claim that righteousness is the deciding factor. Jesus is willing to let those who think they are righteous face the judgment, but warns that they will nor fare well. The ultimate justice for the Christian is the love that shows itself in forgiveness. O God, you are the just judge. But youve shown us great mercy in your Son Jesus. Tech us to always walk in the way of your love. (Between Sundays by Paul Boundreau published by Paulines.

our youth are being subjected to. It is not purely the fault of the youth if their lot is being corrupted by elders who are hungry for power and are using the young to advance their vested interests. It would be unjust to arbitrarily dissolve such youth organization as it will deprive the youth of their rightful representation in the local legislative bodies at all levels. What is needed is to instill reforms to spare the youth from undue exposure to corrupt politics. Comments to alellema@hotmail.com
