Oras town signed a

deal to fight poverty
ORAS, Eastern Samar The local government here
signed a three-year deal for the implementation of the
Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and
Intergrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS)
program.
Every year, there will be a P17.4 million municipal
grant allocation for the 42 villages of this town to fund
the projects proposed by each village and approved by the
provincial office. The funds are directly released to the villages bank account.
This is a way of empowering the people and letting
them feel that they are part of planning for the betterment
of our community, not only elected government officials,
said mayor Viviane P. Alvarez.
KALAHI CIDSS is one of the three core poverty alleviation program of the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) aiming to empower local community, reduce poverty and improve local governance.
This is a community-driven program wherein community-chosen priorities are turned into sustainable projects
which will address the communitys needs and KALAHI
CIDSS provides financial assistance for the implementation of these projects.
Marian Cuenco, a resident of the town expressed
agreement as it would let them know how projects implementation and budget utilization are done. I think this is

Superstar Nora Aunor shots film on Yolanda

TACLOBAN CITY- Doing a film about supertyphoon
Yolanda would at least ensure that the tragic incident
would not be forgotten by the world.
Thus said acting multiple winner and considered the
Superstar of Philippine movies, Nora Aunor, when asked
why she agreed to do the film about Yolanda and shot here
in Tacloban, considered the ground zero of the worlds
strongest typhoon to make landfall.
Hopefully, this film will help the people not to forget

on what happened here, Aunor said.

Aunor shot the film, tentatively titled as Taklub, in
different parts of the city like at the Tacloban Convention
Center and in Barangay 88, San Jose district.
The movie, though considered to be of indie, as not
being backed by a big film studio, is being directed by internationally acclaimed Brillante Mendoza.
Mendoza recently won the best director award from the
prestigious Cannes Film Festival for his film Kinatay, in

2012 becoming the first Filipino director to achieve such

distinction.
Aunor, herself winner of best actress awards from different international film circuits, plays a Yolanda survivor
in the film along with award-winning actor Julio Diaz.
The film is said to be shown by next year and not clear
yet if it would be shown and compete at various film festiturn to Page 4...

POWER

Bearing all things

TO be sure, to be able to bear all, that is, all kinds
of suffering, conflicts, contradictions, etc., is a mark of
Christian maturity. It is one of the consequences of charity as St. Paul once said: Charity...bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1
Cor 13,7)
We need to remind ourselves strongly about this truth
and principle because we often invoke the cause of justice
to get around this ideal. Obviously, we have to satisfy the
requirements of justice, but we need to make sure we are
clearly doing so in charity that would enable us to bear
all things.
In short, there is no justice where there is no charity.
And where there is no charity, there cannot be the capacity to bear all things. We would end up complaining and
seeing the whole exercise is meaningless, devoid of any
saving value.
In this regard, the model to follow is Christ, and not
just our own idea, either simply held or sophisticatedly developed, of how to bear all things, with justice and
charity blended together.
In Christ, the capacity to bear all things is placed in its
proper context and perspective, with the right reason and
basis. More importantly, it is in Christ that we would have
the power and energy to carry out that capacity.
In Christ, we would know the causes of all kinds of
suffering that we would have to bear. Like him, we would
not be turned off from suffering, much less, flee from it.
We would look for it and embrace it, like a lover willing
to do anything for his beloved.
Christ expands our all-too-often limited human estimation of the coverage of this capacity to bear. This power to bear should not be understood simply in its physical
dimension alone. It can cover moral anguish, spiritual
pain and eventually death. It can take on anything. No
suffering, no evil would be beyond its power to bear.
Even death itself is bearable and viewed positively as
the very liberation of our limited, time-and-space bound
earthly existence. Death would become the very gateway
to our definitive eternal life.
In other words, in Christ, the reason and basis for this
capacity to bear all things go beyond the merely natural
and material. They extend to the moral, spiritual and supernatural. They have a religious and theological foundation and purpose, not just physical or social well-being.
Its important that we are well-grounded in the theology behind suffering and behind our capacity to suffer,
endure and bear all things. In this way, we would know
how to react and behave when difficulties, trials, contradictions, failures and sin come our way.
We would know what dangers to avoid, what attitude
to cultivate, what skills to develop. We always have to
view things theologically, with faith always enlightening
our reason and purifying our emotions and passions. We
have to avoid being led simply by our feelings and mere
human consensus and trends.
These human estimations of things are very vulnerable to all kinds of anomaliesanguish, bitterness, hatred,
envy, greed, vanity, the urge for revenge, etc.
Especially in the field of politics, where controversies erupt like normal occurrences, when we express our
views simply relying on our human estimation of things
and without the spirit of Christ, there would unavoidably
be an explosion of sarcasm, ironies, insults, fault-finding
and mud-slinging, and eventually violence.
We would become overly sensitive and would react
rather wildly, easily falling into rash judgments, sweeping
generalizations and stereotyping, reckless statements. We
would become intolerant, failing to see the validity of at
least some parts of the views of others and would see ones
view as the only acceptable one.
On the other hand, when we try to follow Christ, we

Hunger for power

An abused Tagalog cliche states, Sa taong gusto maraming paraan at sa taong ayaw
maraming dahilan. Pres. Nonynoy Aquino
though attempting to convey this adage was not
able to quote it in such phrase but with his own
convenient words during an interview while on
his very recent trip abroad. Though uttered in
divergent manner, the drift advanced the same
idea, that is he is much willing to support all
moves to keep himself in the presidential seat
for another time. This, accodring to PNoys detractors is to the point of amending the 1987
Constitution to suffice this hunger for power.
What could be these means that will further
the cause and achieve the end so desired? The
First siblings, meaning PNoy and his siblings are
known to have victored an a challenge which objective their alleged allies are said to be advancing now against all odds. This is even at the cost
of a Charter Change in the guise of economic
advancement of this third-world country.
Lately, the waters are rippling, disturbing the
calm recesses of the peoples democratic proclivity. DILG Sec. Mar Roxas in one Manila-based
TV interview broached the idea of PNoy extending his term instead of him running for presidency in 2016 but carrying out the programs
would know how to understand everyone even in their
clearly erroneous positions. We can always conduct our
dialogues civilly, quick to spot common grounds between
opposing parties and to offer acceptable alternatives to
break deadlocks.
We avoid creating unnecessary tension especially in
those moments when the debate is most sharp. We would
know what and when to give up and what to keep and to
affirm irrespective of costs.
We would prefer defeat and even death than give up
on something that ought not to be given up. In all this, we
would still feel confident because we get to see the whole
picture provided for us by our faith.
To be able to bear all things, we need to be vitally united with Christ, through prayers, sacraments, sacrifice and
continuing ascetical struggle.

embarked on by PNoy and using Pnoys achievement as benchmark. Sec. Roxas, notwithstanding the good it offers those who stand to benefit from a second term of PNoy, stressed that
such thought of the presidents extension only
his personal view, not the PNoy administration
neither the Liberal Partys stance.
Was not the Aquino siblings proven to be
master of such scheme? Was it not the same
style they used that catapulted PNoy to power?
Never could the memory of the greatness of the
late Sen. Ninoy Aquino and the charm and equal
popularity of the late Pres. Cory Aquino leave
the mind of the electorate. In the necrological
service at the funeral of this first lady president
of the Philippines, PNoys celebrity sister floated
a word purported to be a disvlosure of the lady
president at her deathbed: the PNoy and Kris
should continue what their parents have started.
This passing statement of the then rumored politically inclined screen star mothballed
into a political avalanche that stepped the supposed presidential aspiration of Roxas. Now this

NMP suspends some of the

courses it offers pending
MARINAs approval
TACLOBAN CITY- The
National Maritime Polytechnic (NMP) has announced the temporary suspension of some of courses
it is offering.
This was disclosed by
NMP executive director
Forter Puguon who said
that temporary suspension
of the courses was made
pending results on the assessment of their compliance and accreditation from
the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA).
The suspension was enforced since September 22,
2014 which includes courses on engine, deck, safety
medical and security, environmental protection and
maritime allied, while still
offering faculty development courses.
We are closely looking into reviewing all the
requirements including facilities, the trainors and of
course the courses itself,
Puguon said in a press conference held at their office
located in Barangay Cabalawan, this city.
Puguon added that they
had a meeting with MARINA on July 31 of this year
and requested for an inspection so that they will know
what are still needed.
During the inspection
it was found out that some
of the courses lack some
requirements
prompting
MARINA to temporarily
suspend its trainings while
complying with the requirements.
As to our view we can
continue conducting but
they have the final decision.
We have to respect their decision to suspend. But MARINA respected our trainings up to September 19 this
year, Puguon said.
Puguon said that there
are still other maritime
training schools in other parts of the country although NMP is the only
such facility that is run by

the government.
More than 50 percent of
the trainees of the NMP are
from the region while the rest
are from Central Visayas and
Mindanao regions.
More than fifty percent
of our seafarers are from
Eastern Visayas followed by
Cebu which comprise twenty
five percent then Mindanao
around ten to fifteen percent
while others from different
places in Luzon, they are
the ones fully affected by the
devastation and while waiting for our efforts to restore
its full operation, Puguon
said.
Puguon added that seafarers chooses NMP for
maritime training because
not only because due to its
low fees but due to its good
quality and high standard
services.
The NMP has submitted
its application for accreditation to MARINA August of
last year which the latter has
yet to take action.
He further added that
NMP is now having a problem on how they can refund
the money of those who already paid for the training.
He said that NMP has an
annual master list schedule
of trainings. And there were
clients who already paid and
scheduled their trainings up
to December this year.
Our problem now is how
we can return the money to
those who already paid for
the trainings up to December
and they cannot wait when
we can fully operate. How
can we return their money
that we already submitted to
the Bureau of Treasury, and
we could not get that easily,
Puguon said.
Puguon assured their clients that NMP will resume
its services once they comply
all the needed requirements
adding that they are now
fast tracking its rehabilitation after the devastation of
Yolanda. (JENNIFER SUMAGANG-ALLEGADO)

same proven-effective style is being utilized. In

spite of the strong denial of Malacaang as being behind the call for PNoys term extension,
this insinuation could not escape the shadow of
PNoy. Although this proposal for term extension
of PNoy thru Chacha has good chance of surviving, not all sectors are favoring it, but rather take it as a desperate move to perpetuate
themselves in power, giving a nil chance for a
better leader to rule the country.
If there is a will, there is a way, says

BSP: Eastern Visayas economy remains

competitive despite Yolandas devastation
TACLOBAN CITY - Eastern Visayas business outlook
drastically jumped to 51% for the fourth quarter of 2014
from 20.7% in the third quarter, citing businessmen confidence to rise up from the rubble as a result of supertyphoon Yolandas devastation.
Fernando Silvoza, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)
Department of Economic Statistics deputy director, said
there is positive perception for the region to move on and
be able to rise from destruction.
I would say that because of continued assistance provided by local and international NGOs, it raised the expectation of higher recovery, he aded.
However, he warned that Yolanda-related assistance
should be taken as something that is not infinite.
That should be picked up by other industries here so
that if the situation is normal, the local business will be able
to sustain that growth, Silvoza, who attended a BSP gathering here last September 16, said.

need, she stated.
This would only be good if the people themselves are
cooperative throughout this program. Otherwise, it would
be useless, said Mario Cuman.
Leah Beth P. Zalavarria, KALAHI-CIDSS area coordinator said that peoples voice will be heard so the community should really participate.
We believe that if unity prevails in a community, development is immediately achieved, Zalavarria said in vernacular.
As of now, implementers of the KALAHI-CIDSS have
started gathering data and going to the different villages to
introducee this program. Actual construction of projects
will begin early of 2015.
Zalavarria said that municipalities that are eligible for
this program are fourth up to sixth class municipalities
with poverty incidence higher than the national average of
25 percent.
Oras, having a total population of 34,760, is a fourth
class municipality with 51.08 percent poverty incidence.

Nora and the rest of the cast, who included her close

present during the filming, causing some traffic and halting in some instances the filming.
Nita Baanyado, 64, said that she could not contain her
happiness seeing her all time movie idol.
Ive been her fan since she started her career as a singer, she said, holding cut-out old pictures of the superstar.
I was not able to save some of our personal belongings

She along with several others waited for hours just to

The actress obliged for some photo opportunity with her

is only temporary.
From many respondents perspective, the airport concern is temporary in nature. What is important is that the
government is doing something and it removes negative
short term sentiments. The response is long term and that
spells out short term concern, Silvoza said.
Since early September, the airports runway is closed to

Yolanda victims bring fight to

climate change summit in New
York

TACLOBAN CITY- From

the Philippines to the United Nations General Assembly
on Climate Change in New
York, victims of supertyphoon
Yolanda in the country joined
other environment advocates
in the world to air their plight
and demand justice.
Efleda Bautista, convenor of an alliance of Yolanda
survivors People Surge, stood
with other international rights
groups for a Peoples General Assembly in New York as
an alternative gathering outside the building where world
leaders convened during the
September 23 summit.
We are here to claim justice. The devastation caused
by typhoon Yolanda in the
Philippines is a wake-up call
to leaders about the fatal consequences of global warming
and climate change to people,
especially from developing
countries, Bautista said.
Supporting the group are
Campaign for Peoples Goals
for Sustainable Development,
Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development
(APWLD), and IBON International.
A network of non-governmental organizations Rights
Network claimed that rehabilitation in Yolanda-stricken
communities continues to be
at a snails pace.
Ruelie Rapsing, the groups

communication and development officer, said that survivors of the super typhoon,
mostly from the farming and
fishing communities, are still
unable to avail of the support
services and other programs
from government agencies
and aid groups eleven months
after Yolanda.
Lack of tenurial instruments poses a major hindrance in the delivery of support services for the farmers
and shelter programs for fisher
folks, Rapsing said.
To address this, Rapsing
said that government must
first settle land distribution
and ownership among the victims.
The government should
fast track the resolution of
pre-existing tenure and property rights questions, particularly the implementation of
agrarian reform in favor of
farmers with no land tenure
security and land and housing
rights for fisher folks with no
housing tenure security, he
said.
The group is currently
launching a signature campaign in Leyte and Samar to
call on the government to
exercise its power of imminent domain to acquire lands
for the relocation of survivors
within areas accessible to their
sources of livelihoods. (RONALD O.REYES)
