The hearing officer advised the

petitioner/applicant to re-file the case as soon as possible in order for the ERB to resolve the case in the most possible earlier time.

However, the hearing officer still allowed the applicant to publicly present its cause so as for the board to have an idea what to decide after the case is re-filed and heard.

During the presentation of the Leyeco V’s Information Tech department, it was revealed that there is a need for the coop to upgrade its loading stations/sub-stations in order to prevent “overloading” which, is practically happening how.

Bontoyan said he understand that there is really a need to upgrade the loading stations since business establishments are coming in Ormoc in the next few years as the city is now considered as the “fastest local government” in terms of economic growth. ATT

Surrender or die, Espenido appeals to Kerwin ALBUERA, Leyte --- The town police chief, P/CInsp. Jovy Espenido is appealing to the Kerwin Espinosa Jr., to surrender directly to him and his safety is assured. “Ako usa ang mamatay usa ka!” “I will die first before you!” Espenido declared.

The police chief stressed that he wanted the younger Espinosa to directly surrender to him and live because he needs to answer the question why he has plenty of protectors. He said that these big people around him and protected him were the ones who made powerful and famous in the illegal business.

Drug suspects killed can’t tell Espenido said he doesn’t support the immediate killings of the suspects because truth willi be hidden with their death. And another thing, he said, Kerwin would have not grown this big, if nobody from the government

protects him.

Espenido likewise laments over the killing of Abuyog Penal Colony inmate Edgar Allan Alvarez a.k.a Egay who is a known drug lord operating inside the Leyte Regional Prison.

“Why does he has to be killed?”

Espenido asked.

Questions will remain questions with dead suspects. Alvarez should have been interrogated by the authorities on the reasons why he was able to operate inside the prison cell. How come an inmate could supply kilos of shabu to Kerwin Espinosa when he is inside the prison cell? How come his items came in and out in the prison colony if nobody is protecting his business inside?

This are just some of the questions that can never be answered anymore with the death of Alvarez and other drugs suspects that were killed extrajudicially. RCD

DPWH Southern Leyte proposes P3.26-B outlay for 2017 MAASIN CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways Southern Leyte District Engineering Office (DPWH-SLDEO) is eyeing a P3.26 billion worth of infrastructure projects for the province in 2017, more than double of its current allotment.

The DPWH field office recently submitted their shortlist of 76 projects to the regional office and central office for the inclusion in the 2017 DPWH Infrastructure Program under the General Appropriations Act. “Citing our experiences in the past years, we don’t expect that all projects will be approved, but we want to have a considerable share of the budget pie especially that funding for infrastructure increases every year,” said District Engineer Ma. Margarita C. Junia.

Of the P3.26 billion proposed outlay, P970.14 million are for maintenance and rehabilitation of national roads; P454.03 million for widening of national highways; P590.74 million for off carriageway improvement; P195.5 million for repair of bridges; P659.03 million for construction and maintenance of flood control systems; P298 million for

construction of roads leading to airports, seaports and tourist destinations; and P96.5 million for improvement of various infrastructure including local projects.

While waiting for the final approval of 2017 projects, the SLDEO conducts pre-detailed engineering activities such as survey, preparation of design plan, preparation of technical specifications, coming up with construction schedule, road right of way acquisition plans, among others. “We have to lay out pre-implementation plans so we will be ready to keep the project up and running once the proposed budget is approved,” Junia said.

Among the projects with higher proposed funding are the upgrading of road leading to various tourist destinations in Maasin City (P150 million), Limsawa Island Circumferential Road (P100 million), and Liloan-San Ricardo Circumferential Road (P88 million).

For this year, the field office is implementing P1.47 billion worth of projects. These are 70 percent complete as of mid-2016. The DPWH-SLDEO is tasked to maintain 299 kilometers of national roads and 155 bridges, built in 18 towns and one city. RCD

The checks were given to him by the bookkeeper of the Espinosas and the family cashier after a series of confrontation. Espenido said that he also want to know the reason why Kerwin Espinosa has been issuing such checks to these people.

The checks according to Espenido are monthly stipend and cash advance for policemen and other people who allegedly protecting

Kerwin’s business. Espenido pointed out that he is now validating the names of the persons in the checks and some of which are politicians.

He admitted that he know some of them, and even considered friends, but he cannot do less but for them to answer why they are included in Espinosas ledger.

Confronted by the emerging development, higher headquarters finds it important to instill discipline to personnel and movement of personnel to the southern part of Mindanao is one of the remedial actions of the PNP. The movement is not an exile of personnel but a normal process in the PNP to transfer and reassign its personnel to any PNP offices/units anytime and anywhere in the country not only in Mindanao.

On the one hand, the present leadership in the PNP respects the sentiments of some political entities/ leaders and people of Mindanao for the recent development in personnel action.

For its part, it is the present leadership’s internal cleansing efforts and appeal for support as the PNP sincerely and aggressively combats the illegal drugs menace in the country.

Opinyon

August 8-14, 2016

Most Filipinos don’t want to move on THERE must be a reason or deep motive why those people who don’t like President Duterte are backing up the protest against the burial of late President Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

Firstly, they want a limelight for their future political plans. They want to see the nation stay on lie about Marcos.

Second, it is not the reason of morality or law or appropriateness or even history.

Everybody must know that not all written in the history books are true. And speaking of achievement for this country, all the Presidents after Marcos can’t equate his contribution to the development of this country specially in the field of agriculture and arts.

Third, they want the people not to move on and live in hate with unforgiving heart.

Speaking of Marcos’ accomplishments – the late President was a soldier. There is no question about that. He was a former Philippine President. That’s a fact that can’t be denied. For these two reasons alone, there is nothing wrong for him to be laid on the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

Marcos’ enemies want the Filipino people to stay ignorant about their agenda. They want to make Ninoy Aquino as the hero, when in fact, he was the villain instead of Marcos.

Ninoy didn’t do anything significant to the country except ordering his comrades to kill him and made himself look like a hero.

Marcos has nothing to do with his death. The only thing that might be considered “failure” of Marcos was “part” of the Martial Law. And that was abuses of some of the military men.

But generally, Martial Law was sometimes very useful means of instilling discipline to juvenile and unruly citizens.

In this post-millennium era, healing the wounds of war, martial rule and economic bankruptcy that happened some years ago, would be the most apt thing to do.

NIADTONG Sabado, daghan ang mga motorsiklo nga nangatanggong tungod kay nanakop ang mga traffic enforcers, inalalayan sa mga pulis ug uban sa mga pipila ka mga kawani sa LTO. Daghay mga drayber nga kareklamohon pero gipili nga maghilum na lang.

Gipahibalo bitaw ang publiko usa ka adlaw sa wa pa ang pagpangdakup. Wala tingale kini sila maka-monitor.

Gawas niana, ang mga traffic enforcers karon dinhi sa dakbayan sa Ormoc, pulos mga LTO-deputized.

Sa ato pa, duna kana silay katungod nga mangkumpiskar og lisensya gawas sa TOP nga ilang iisyu.

Ang balaod sa helmet alang sa tanan nga mga motorista, dugay na man kana nga nahimong ordinansa sa siyudad ug kung wala kita masayup, P300 ang multa sa masakpan nga naga–drive og motor nga wala magsul-ob og helmet. Ambot lang pud kung dakpun lang gihapon ang magsulob og helmet nga wala mag-motor.

Panahon ni Mayor Beboy gisugdan ang mag-istrikto sa karsada mahitungod sa mga magmotor nga dili mosul-ob og helmet apan sa panahon ni Mayor Ondo, giluagan ang maong balaod.

Wala na istriktoha ang pagsul-ob og helmet tungod sa gikaingon nga patay ang mga suspetsado pulos nagsul-ob og helmet ug dili mailhan ang nawung.

sa l atid

Tuman na lang gyud mo **** Karon sa panahon ni Mayor Richard, gibalik ang pag-istrikto sa maong balaod nga kung pinsaron nato maayo man tungod kay alang man sab kana sa kaluwasan sa mga driver sa motor. Mas bentaha man gud ang mag-helmet, di ba? Unsa man dautan ana? Gawas niini, mas nindot man sab nga tan-awon nga magsapatos ug magkarsones samtang naga-drive og motorsiklo, di ba?

Ang labing maayo, tuman na lang gyud ta kay mas maayo ang motuman kontra sa mosupak.

Parehas ba anang mga karatula nga “No Stopping anytime”, sa wala pa makalingkod si Mayor Richard, tagsa ra ang mga driver sa traysikul nga motuman ana.

Ambot lang kun dili sila kahibalo mobasa o basin dili lang gyud gusto motuman.

Ang resulta magbaga ang traffic duol sa maong karatula tungod sa masinupakan nga driver. Makaingon man gani kita mora mag dili sila kaantigo magbasa.

Karon, unsa may dautan kun ipatuman kanang mga ginagmay nga balaora? **** Usa lang ka pangutana ang gipagawas sa uban mga concerned citizens, naa ba kunoy ordinansa anang mga “no parking anytime”, “no parking along this road”, “no stopping anytime” “No Entry” ug uban pa. Kanang balaud sa helmet, wala problema tungod kay naa man gyuy ordinansa ana.

Pero, kanang uban, morag wala pa man. Mao nga ato daw tawgon ang atensyon sa mga hintungdan kay basin matalay ta ana. Magsige lang tag patuman sa mga balaod nga walay kalig-onan.

Apan lagi, dili man nato malalis ang kamatuoran nga kaayuhan ang tumong anang mga magpagpatuman sa mga ginagmay nga balaod sa karsada. Wala man tingale maghuna-huna ang buhatan sa Mayor nga hatagan og problema ang mga commuters o kun ang mga byahero. Gusto lang tingale sa mayor nga mahapsay gyud ang dagan sa mga sakyanan diha sa karsada.

Tuman na lang gyud ug dili na lang moreklamo. Tutal, inyo man nang gipangandoy. Mipili mo ni Mayor Richard kay nagatoo mo nga makahatag siyag hapsay nga pagdumala sa siyudad. Usa na kana sa iyang paagi aron maanindot ang siyudad, di ba?

Unsa may dautan kon pahelmeton kita kung magmotor? Dautan ba diay kana?

Kung dili na kita paparkingon sa mga dapit nga naanad kita magparking, unsa may dautan kung motuman kita? Maanad na lang kita ana nga dili moparking.

Ug kung maanad kita nga dili na moparking, mobalibad na kita nga paparkingon, di ba? Ang resulta ana, parehas na kita ug ang siyudad nga dili na magproblema.

Tuman na lang gyud kita para walay samok.

Northwest Leyte infra projects construction in full swing ORMOC CITY — The Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) has finished 73.84 percent of its regular infrastructure projects for 2016. District Engineer Lino Francisco Gonzales said the figure is higher than their target accomplishment of 67 percent.

Of the 63 regular projects in northwest Leyte, 51 have been completed and 11 are ongoing. Only one has yet to start – the widening of Ormoc’s Anilao Bridge worth P60 million.

Gonzales said he expects the current projects to be completed by August 31.

Projects worth P50 million are to be finished by December or January next year with the exception of the Gaas-Quezon Jr. road opening that was inaugurated last month. Worth P128.215 million, the nine-kilometer road is located in Ormoc’s hinterlands.

Only six kilometers have so far been opened and only half

The DEO has secured the approval of the Environment Department to clear 3,000 trees to give way to the project. Gonzales mentioned other projects, including 11 farm-to-market roads, five of which are completed.

The roads, located in Libertad, Bantigue, San Jose and RM Tan, all in Ormoc, and Catuhaon in Palompon town, are almost the same length of 210 meters and project cost of P2 million.

Another feeder road, the P10-million San DionesioMasaba road stretching 700 meters in Matag-ob town, is targeted for turnover on Sept. 16.

Some P17 million has been released for the repair and maintenance of drainage systems along the highways of Ormoc as well as Kananga and Palompon towns. Ferdinand Cruz

Republic of the Philippines SUPREME COURT REGIONAL TRIAL COURT Branch 43 8th Judicial Region Bulwagan ng Katarungan Magsaysay Blvd., Tacloban City EVANGELINE PAULO BYRNES, Plaintiff, CIVIL CASE NO. 201406-32 For: Specific Performance and Preliminary Mandatory Injuction -versusEDITHA PAULO, Defendant. x - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - x RESOLUTION “Since petitioner could not be personally served summons despite diligent efforts to locate his whereabouts, respondent sought and was granted leave of court to effect service of summons upon him by publication in a newspaper of general circulation.

Thus, petitioner was properly served with summons by publication. “ ( Pedro t. Santos, Jr. vs. PNOC Exploration Corporation.

G.R. No. 170943.

September 23, 2008).

On record is a Motion for Reconsideration and With Leave of Court of the Order dated January 16, 2015 filed by the Plaintiff through counsel Atty.

The Motion moves for reinstatement of the abovecaptioned case and leave of court that summons to the Defendant may be made means of publication.

In the case at bar, herein Defendant per Sheriff Return of Summons dated July 14, 2014 was served summons and copies of the Petition in the given address at Brgy. 110, Utap, Tacloban City, but was informed that said Defendant already left for the United States of America sometime in June 2014.

It must be stressed that the Rules provides remedies whenever a Defendant cannot be personality served with summons.

Substituted service or summons by publication is made available thereto, provided that in summons by publication, leave of court must first be secured.

Clearly, Section 15 of Rule 14 of the Rules of Court provides: “A defendant who is a non-resident and is not found in the country may be served with summons by extraterritorial service

in four instances; (1) when the action affects the personal status of the plaintiff; (2) when the action relates to, or the subject of which is property within the Philippines, in which the defendant has or claims a lien or interest, actual or contingent; (3) when the relief demanded consists, wholly or in part, in excluding the defendant from any interest in properly located in the Philippines; or (4) when the property of the defendant has been attached within the Philippines. “ Considering the applicability of the abovecited Rules, the Court finds it fitting to find procedural guidance in the ruling of the Supreme Court in the case of MargaritaRomualdez-Licaros vs.

Abelardo Licaros. GR No. 150656. April 29. 2003), finding this wise: “ In these instances, extraterritorial service of summons may be effected under any of three modes: (1) by personal service out of the country, with leave of court: (2) by publication and sending a copy of the summons and order of the court by registered mail to the defendant’s last know address, also with leave of court; or (3) by any other means the judge may consider sufficient.

Applying the foregoing rule, the trial court required extraterritorial service of summons to be effected on Margarita in the following manner: x x x, service of Summons by way of publication in a newspaper of general circulation once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks, at the same time, furnishing respondent copy of this Order as well as the corresponding Summons and copy of the petition at her given address at No. 96 Mulberry Lane, Atherton, California, U.S.A., thru the Department of Foreign Affairs, all at the expense of petitioner. (15) (Emphasis ours) The trial court’s prescribed made of extraterritorial service does not fall under the first or second mode specified in Section 15 of Rule 14, but under the third mode. This refers to “ any other means that the judge may consider sufficient. “ Thus, the Court finding the Motion clothed with merit, the same is hereby GRANTED. WHEREFORE, let the Court Order dated January 16, 2015 be set aside and order that this case be re-instated in the active dockets of the Court.

Let Summons be published once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the Province.

sa wa pa mahitabo ang maong insidente, mipadayag siya nga gusto niya nga magbag-o human sa 11 ka tuig nga pagkalambigit sa illegal nga drugas pero wala gyud maaresto.

Apan ang kapulisan, nahibal-an sa pulis nga bisan misurender na siya, nagpadayon man lang gihapon sa pagpayuhot. Adlaw unta nga iyang natawhan sa diha nga napatay siya.

Sa laing bahin, si Dumaguit napatay pud sa mga operatiba sa kapulisan didto sa Brgy Mabini ning syudad samtang mohatud unta ang mga pulis sa usa ka search warrant ngadto niya.

Sumala pa ni P/Supt. Joel

ORMOC CITY ---- Midepensa sa iyang kaugalingon si kanhi hepe sa Police Station 1 P/Supt. Ibrahim Jambiran sa paglakip niya sa listahan ni Presidente Rodrigo Duterte nga usa sa mga pulis nga gipasumanginlan nga protektor sa mga tigpayuhot og ilegal nga drogas.

Matud pa ni Jambiran nga dako ang iyang pagtoo nga usa ka dakong opisyal sa Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) didto sa Zamboanga City kaniadto nga iyang nakontra ang luyo niining tanan.

Gisaysay ni Jambiran nga sa dihang nadestino pa siya sa Sinonoc sa Zamboanga, usa ka paryente sa iyang pamilya ang napatay sa giingong tawo nga giingon nga pag-umangkon ni PDEA director Adjhar Albani. Ug sa diha nga ang maong tawo nawala ug napalgan nga patay, siya ang gipasanginlan. "Kinasohan ako ng kidnapping with murder ng pamilya kasi ako daw maykagagawan pero na dismissed yung kaso" matud ni Jambiran.

Gibutyag pud sa opisyal nga ang napatay nga pag-umangkon ni Albani, usa diay ka 'ninja cop' nga mihimog pagrecycle sa mga shabu nga masakmit atol sa mga operasyon sa pulis.

"Dating pulis yun nag awol" dugang pagbutyag ni Jambiran.

Gisaysay sab ni Jambiran nga iyang namatikdan nga bisan nadestino siya sa Ormoc ug karon sa Calbayog, nagapaniid lang gihapon kining iyang mga nakontra.

Ingon pud niya nga moatubang siya ni PDGeneral Ronald Dela Rosa aron mopasabot sa tinuod nga nahitabo ug aron pud limpyohon ang iyang ngalan.

"Sana i-check nila ang performance ko, kahit mag tanong sila sa Ormoc at Calbayog pero wag lang nila tanungin yung kalaban ko kasi alam na ang sagot nun" panghinaot ni Jambiran.

"Wala na akong ibang nakikita, personal talaga ito. No more no less" matod ni Jambiran.

Si Jambiran nadestino sa Ormoc ug nakatala og daghang nadakop sa ilegal nga droga.

Gihangyo si Jambiran sa Calbayog City tungod sa nahitabong mga krimen sa dakbayan hilabi na niadtong panahon sa eleksyon. JKDPilapil
