at all times, maintain the policy of being
non-partisan.
We are a political organization. We will
not allow our organization to be involved in
any political activities. We will make sure of
that and we will put in place several measures
that our men will not engage in any political
activities, he said.
A police officer who has a relative up to

Shooting incidents: judge survived,


employee dead on the spot
in Northern Samar
CAMP RUPERTO KANGLEON,
PALO, Leyte- A court judge and a court
employee were recently involved in
separate shooting incidents in Laoang,
Northern Samar.
Reports reaching the regional headquarters of the Philippine National
Police indicated that a court employee
died when he was shot inside his office
while a judge managed to cheat death
after he was shot by his perpetrators.
Killed was Roldan Esperas, 38,married and an employee of the MCTC
Laoang town who was shot by the two
suspects while he was inside his office
last August 13, this year.
Esperas, a resident of Barangay San
Miguel Heights of the said town, was
hit at his head that resulted to his instant death.

Meantime, Judge Reynaldo Espinar,


presiding judge of Laoang municipal
trial court, survived a slay attempt to
his life.
Espinar, who was in Barangay Burabod, Laoang, was hit by two of his
perpetrators but managed to survived
as he was wearing bullet proof vest
during the May 18 incident at around
6:30 a.m.
The judge would-be assailants were
identified as Felino Robilles and Catalino Ylan.
In both cases, the local police of
Laoang are still conducting their probe
as what could be the possible motives
on the separate shooting incidents.
The suspects of these two incidents
are still at-large. (JOEY A. GABIETA)

Stronger ties with Spain


will boost PH economy
Department of Trade
and Industry Undersecretary Adrian S. Cristobal
reaffirmed the Philippines
commitment to forge stronger bilateral relations with
Spain during the 13th Philippine-Spanish Friendship
Day and the 116th Anniversary of the Historic Siege of
Baler recently held in Baler,
Aurora.
A stronger partnership between Spain and the
Philippines will allow us to
advance our respective development goals, expand our
markets, and improve the
quality of life of our people.
We are urging Spain and our
friends in Latin America to
seize opportunities in Asia
through the Philippines,
said Cristobal.
Cristobal joined former
Senate President Edgardo
Angara, who authored the
Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day Act (Republic Act
9187), and members of the
diplomatic corps, representatives of the business sector and officials from the
countrys cultural agencies
in commemorating the yearlong siege of Baler and Philippine-Spanish relations.
Spain is potentially an
important trade partner of
the Philippines- we can be
Spains gateway to Asia. Our
common heritage forged
many centuries ago is a
sound basis to increase trade
and investments that will
sustain the robust pace of
growth we have been experiencing, explained Cristobal.
The Philippines is currently one of the fastest
growing economies in this
dynamic region, growing at
an average of 6% every year

for the past four years and


financially, in firm footing.
The country improved dramatically in competitiveness
rankings since 2010 moved
up from the 85th place in
2010 to the 52th in 2014.
Meanwhile, Spanish Ambassador Luis A. Calvo said
that the Philippines, as the
only country in ASEAN to
be granted inclusion in the
European Unions General
Scheme of Preference Plus
(EU-GSP+) [1], is attracting
a significant number of Spanish companies who are inter-

ested in doing business in the


country and contributing to
its modernization.
Ambassador Calvo explained that Spain looks forward to the establishment of
an FTA between the Philippines and the European
Union (EU). He adds that,
until such a time, Spain will
continue to take advantage
of the rapidly improving economic environment prevailing in the Southeast Asian
region, particularly in the
Philippines. (DTI)

DENR official calls protection


of Phil eagle in Samar Island

-Environment Undersecretary for field operations Demetrio Ignacio, Jr.


issued an appeal to protect
the Philippine eagle found
in the region.
Ignacio, in particular,
said that the people of Samar Island should always
protect the eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyii) that was
found in their island.
The call to protect the
Philippine eagle, considered as the countrys national bird, came amid
the shooting and killing
of Pamana, a Philippine
eagle last August 16 in San
Isidro, Davao Oriental.
Ignacio pointed out that
the existence of the Philippine eagle in the Samar Island indicates the presence
of lush forests and the rich

He also said that the
people in the island should
play an active role in the
protection of the habitat of
the Philippine eagle which
is favorable not only for
the existence of the national bird but also for other
endemic and endangered
species in the island.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region 8 office
(DENR-8) Regional Executive Director Leonardo
Sibbaluca disclosed that
the existence of the Philippine eagle in Samar forests has also been reported
in the early 1980s and the
sightings of the bird in
1997, caused then President Joseph Estrada to declare the 3,720 hectares of

Samar forest as Taft Forest


Wildlife (Philippine Eagle)
Sanctuary on July 31, 1999
by virtue of Presidential
Proclamation No. 155.
Sibbaluca added that
a team composed of the
Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) and the Institute of Biology of the University of the Philippines
Diliman has sighted the
Philippine Eagle last October 2014 in the forest areas
of Calbiga, Samar and in
Taft, Eastern Samar which
are both inside the Samar
Island Natural Park.
It was learned that the
Philippine eagle was first
spotted in Paranas, Samar on June 15, 1896 by
a British naturalist John
Whitehead. (RESTITUTO

Phil. imports mark


its highest growth
-Philippine imports recorded its highest growth for
the year at 22.6 percent in
June 2015, recovering from
three consecutive months of
contractions since March,
according to the National
Economic and Development
Authority (NEDA).
The Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA) reported today that the spending
for imported goods rose to
US$5.9 billion in June 2015
from US$4.8 billion in the
same month last year. The
recovery was due to significant increases in imports of
raw materials and intermediate goods (49.2%), capital
goods (23.8%), and consumer goods (13.1%), which
made up for the continuing
decline in the import value of
mineral fuels and lubricants
(-21.9%).
The significant surge
of import payments signals
improvement in the external
environment. The increase in
importation of raw materials
leads us to expect a sustained
growth of domestic production while the acquisition of
capital goods indicates positive investor confidence,
said Economic Planning Sec-

retary Arsenio M. Balisacan.


Furthermore, the Philippines ranked first among
monitored economies in East
and Southeast Asia in terms
of imports growth in June
2015. Except for Vietnam,
all these countries registered
a decline in imports for the
said period.
Accounting for nearly
half (48.9%) of the countrys
total imports, payments for
raw materials and intermediate goods posted a positive turnaround, after declining for three consecutive
months, at US$2.9 billion in
June 2015 from US$1.9 billion in June last year. Moreover, payments for imported
capital goods continue to
pose double-digit increase
for five successive months at
US$1.3 billion in June 2015
from US$1.1 billion from the
same month last year.
The countrys continued
robust spending on imported capital goods, particularly
office, electrical and telecommunications machines and
equipment, bodes well for the
growth in capital formation,
the Cabinet official added.
Meanwhile,

grew at US$807 million in


June 2015 from US$713.4
million in June last year due
to the increased payments
for durable goods, particularly for passenger cars and
motorized cycle, which reflects an upbeat performance
of the countrys automotive
industry.
For
the
remaining
months of the year, domestic
demand is expected to prop
up imports growth. While
there may be a slack in consumer activities during the
third quarter of the year due
to low seasonal demand for
consumer goods, the recovery of government spending
should keep imports afloat,
particularly on imported
capital goods, said Balisacan. (neda.gov.ph)

EDITORIAL

The tree of death


and life

I AM referring to the cross. More specifically, the cross


of Christ. It is the tree that symbolizes all our sinfulness
and all its awful effects and consequences, as well as our
own salvation, that is, if we look at it the way Christ did.
The cross in all its forms should be seen in its proper
perspective, and that is the perspective of our faith, as articulated by Christ himself not only in words but most especially in deeds. The cross is not an afterthought of God.
It is part of his eternal plan for us.
We should avoid regarding it based solely on our own
estimation of things. Such attitude can keep us in an unholy captivity, since it can only give us its dark, negative
side, and not its redeeming and supernatural character. In
this, we have to help everyone to overcome the common
and improper tendency.
We need to see the cross in all its entirety. It certainly
is not simply bad news. It actually is good news, deserving
of being loved and of looking forward to. We should not
be afraid of it.
The cross is the symbol of our sinfulness and all its effects and consequences that ultimately include our death.
Thats because our very own nature, which is not only
biological but most especially spiritual with the capacity
for the supernatural, would involve these effects when we
misuse the gifts God gives us, especially that of our freedom.
It is therefore unavoidable. But Christ shows us how
to suffer it and to convert it into our way of salvation. He
has assumed all our sinfulness and all its effects and consequences, especially death. But he has turned them, with
his death in obedience to his Fathers will, into our way of
salvation. This is the secret of that happy conversionsuffering in obedience to the Fathers will.
Thus, the cross becomes a tree of life, a source of grace
and joy. Thats why we should not be afraid of it. We
should rather welcome it and be most eager to embrace it.
We need to overcome our natural fears and resistance, and
in fact train our natural systems, with Gods grace thats
given to us in abundance, to conform to this wonderful
truth of our faith.
We have to be wary of our tendency to be easily taken up simply by our feelings when crosses come our way.
While we cannot avoid them, we should not allow them to
lead the way in reacting and accepting these crosses. We
have to react in a spiritual and supernatural way.
Gods grace in the form of faith, hope and charity can
certainly enable us to bear all things. We may not be able
to understand the mechanism involved. But what we
know is that what is impossible with us is always possible
with God.
And what is usually feared and resisted by us becomes
an object of extreme interest when done with God. Christ
has shown us the way, and the saints have continually given testimony to this truth.
On our part, we have to take advantage of the many little discomforts, disappointments, frustrations, problems,
etc., we meet everyday to cultivate this love for the cross.
This is how we can prepare ourselves to face the ultimate
big cross of our lifeour death.
We have to be quick to see the opportunity and the
invitation God is sending us to identify ourselves with
Christ when suffering, in one form or another, comes our
way. Yes, for this, we need to discipline our emotions and
thoughts, even as we quicken our faith, making many acts
of faith, hope and charity.
We should never belittle these practices that may appear childish to some but actually are clear manifestations of human and Christian maturity. This is another

SUPREME
COURT

Supreme Court under trial before


the court of public opinion
Secretary of Justice Leila de Lima has fearlessly declared that the Philippines have become a banana republic.
According to McMillan English dictionary
a banana republic is an insulting word for
a tropical country with a weak economy, a
dishonest and cruel government and public
service that do not work.
This brand banana republic as described
by Secretary de Lima was her reaction to the
Supreme Courts decision granting minority
leader Senator Juan Ponce Enrile on hospital arrest for the crime of graft and corruption of allegedly pocketing, together with
his chief of staff Gigi Reyes P173 million in
kickbacks from the projects financed by the
priority development assistance fund (PDAF)
also knownas pork barrel fund, the Supreme
Court has struck down as unconstitutional.
The decision however is split to 8 in favor
and 4 dissensions, among the 4 is Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.

We predict that the Supreme Court will be


flooded with bail petitions and expectedly
Senators Bong Revilla and Jinggoy Estrada
will re-file bail petitions. And many more to
follow.
The granting of bail of Sen. Enrile strengthensan all-time-belief that justice does not
equally apply to everyone. Certainly there
are prisoners who are poor, old and sick and
political prisoners who likewise deserve this
kind of decision by the courts but could not
earn it simply because they are not popular,
cannot hire top-rank lawyers and most of all
do not have adequate financial resources to
go with their application for bail.
Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile posted P1.4 million
bail at the Sandigan and was released. We
expect that the Supreme Court will be barraged by criticisms and credible charges before the court of public-opinion.

challenge to tackle, an erroneous mindset that needs to be


changed.
We have to reassure everyone the crosses, when seen
from the point of view of our faith, are actually welcome
events with great potentials for our own purification and
atonement for our mistakes and sins, and ultimately for
identifying ourselves more and more with Christ. In fact,
in this life these crosses guarantee that we are dealing with
Christ.
These crosses attract graces and occasion spiritual
growth. We should always relate them with the abiding and
never-failing providence of God. Our problem is that we
usually fall into relying on our own estimation of things
that no matter how brilliant can only take so much. We
need to change that attitude.

are injured due to road


mishaps. Out of this
number, 79 percent
are due to drivers errors, 11 percent due to
defective vehicles, and
10 percent due to bad
road conditions and
ill-maintained roads.
The latest data
from the Department
of
Transportation
and Communication
(DOTC) show that
death toll due to road
mishaps rises by almost
14.6 percent every year.
It is projected that by
2020, without any intervention,
around
300,000 people will die
due to road crashes, the
DOTC said.
Our roads have become safety hazards in
themselves. The government should step up
in securing the well-being of motorists and
the riding public by
upgrading and regulating the countrys road
infrastructures, which
have been neglected for
so long, Escudero said.
In the senators
proposal, the DPWH
is tasked with setting
and defining the specifications and measurements of all national,
provincial, city, municipal and barangay
road and street signs,
sidewalks, streetlights
and other similar road
infrastructures, which
shall be in accordance
with the universally
accepted designs and
installations suitable to
the countrys standards.
According to the
senator, who used to
chair the Senate Committee on Finance, the
DPWH should have no
problem with this additional mandate as it has
the second largest allocation in the 2015 national budget at P290.5
billion, following the
Department of Education, which has P321.1
billion.
The DPWH will
also coordinate with
the Department of
the Interior and Local
Government in order
to promulgate the implementing rules and
regulations once the
proposal in approved.
Under the bill, any
person or local government unit who will not
abide by the set standards will pay a fine not
exceeding P100,000.

Expert pushes biofuel to combat


Philippine energy problems
--US-based Filipino scientist and bio-fuel expert
Dr. Rico Cruz has said that
one solution to energy crisis
in the country is the development of renewable and
clean forms of fuel sources.
Theres a lot of renewable energy being adapted
here: solar, wind and biomass. Whats needed are
off grid hybrids, wave, current and mini- hydros, said
Cruz in an interview.
For biofuels: policy on
at least 20 percent use of
biodiesel, 10 percent ethanol by 2020 and provide
incentives for small to medium scale processors. Also
used cooking oil must not
be reused for culinary purposes but for biofuel use
only, he added, urging the
promotion for community-based utilities and village
level production or processing.
Cruz, however, said that
energy programs should
be run by collaboration
with state universities and
government agencies like
Department of Energy, De-

partment of Science and


Technology, and Department of Agriculture, not by
politicians or the military.
Politicians must not
be allowed to undertake
or fund projects on green
technologies but just on
infrastructures like farm to
market roads, schools and
health centers, he said.
Cruz arrived in his
home province of Southern
Leyte last week for a series
of lectures for farmers and
local government unit officials on agricultural crop,
which according to him,
would be vital and sustainable in Southern Leyte and
beyond.
Cruz, who also works as
Tribal Agricultural Center
Manager in US, introduced
a versatile crop (IH or
CS), which he said is fast
growing, few diseases and
competitors, drought-resistant crop, and provides
better yield than any fiber
growing plant.
It can be a total alternative, or supplement to
abaca, and provides more

Lunop: Haiyan Voices


and Images book launch
The Leyte-Samar Heritage Society, Inc.
(LSHSi) together with the National Commission for Culture and The Arts (NCCA)
and countless volunteers launched a book
about supertyphoon Yolanda(international name: Haiyan) that hit the city on
November 8, 2013.
Lunop: Haiyan Voices and Images
was launched last Friday, August 29, at the
UPVTC multi-purpose building.
Lunop: Haiyan Voices and Images is a
book of poetry, photographs, and narratives by Yolanda survivors and members of
their families.
The book is a testament of their grief
and healing through the arts meant to
inspire hope both for the disaster communities and the world. It is the fruit of a clear
resolve to live on in loving memory of the
departed-beloved, ruined homes and shattered communities.
Lunop is a Waray language that
means great flood the swelling or rising
of water in the river or sea.
Storm surges generated by Yolanda
reaching more than five meters inundated
the city, its ground zero, that killed more
than 2,2000 people.
The book is divided into three chap-

ters: Ngarat, translates into nightmare


or bad dream depicting the wrath brought
by the typhoon; Burubligay, Waray term
for helping together, mirrors the generous hearts that reached out to survivors
during the aftermath; Panhiuli, the final
chapter which means healing or recovery,
is a showcase or how the survivors are
redeeming themselves be it in a religious
manner such as the visitation of Pope
Francis or through artistic renditions
of Yolanda in the visual arts such as the
painting of Dulce Cuna, entitled Eye of
the Storm.
Other contributors who are survivors
themselves are members of The Camera
Club of Leyte-Samar, Katig Writers Network, and a number of individuals from
different walks of life with meaningful
survivor stories and artworks in the form
of poetry or photograph.
The book promotes public awareness
about the urgency of natural and cultural heritage conservation and the reality of
climate change in order to help in disaster
risk reduction.
The goal of book is to help raise the
seed fund for the Yolanda Memorial Museum Project. (ANGELES LOPEZ, PR)

he would institute on this regard.


He also said that he would
ask assistance from election
watch dogs like the PPCRV
and other non-government
organizations, to include the
media, to report to him of a
member of the organization
engaging in partisan politics.
Marquez also assured the
public that he himself will
follow this policy saying,
that even President Aquino
could not pressure him.
All he said was to follow
our bosses-our people, he
said.
Marquez was appointed
by the President who anointed Interior Sec. Mar Roxas as
his possible successor.
The Philippine National
Police is under the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) which
is headed by Roxas.
Marquez said that violator of this policy could be
charged administratively and
criminally.
He also directed the
members of the organization
not to be used by candidates like serving as escorts.
He, however, said that
candidates having an escort
could be discretionary, depending on the orders of the
Commission on Elections.
Police or Army escorts
are allowed by the Comelec
if a candidate is under threat.

uses and added income to


farmers. Products like fiber
(textiles, and cordage), pulp
(paper and construction
materials), oil (nutritious
and medicinal), and meal
(nutritious food and animal
feed). There are several varieties that are prominently
cultivated in various countries, and some have been
cultivated for hundreds of
years, said Cruz on the abstract of his lectures.
Average yield: straw
= 5,900 kg/ha; fiber/pulp
(from straw) = 1,450 kg/ha;
seed for oil and meal = 786
kg/ha (oil = 100 li/ha and
meal = 550 kg/ha). Maturity
of the plant is 70-140 days,
with plant density of 370538 per m2.
In comparison, abaca
fiber/pulp yield is 565900kg/ha, no food/feed use,
and matures 365-730 days.
Fiber processing of IH is
similar to abaca but less
time. IH can be planted as
plantation crop, in marginal lands, and intercropped
with other crops, he added.
