Three children have already been confirmed to have died due to the ailment caused by a mosquito bite. The same record of the DOH has indicated that of the 1,385 dengue fever cases, Tacloban has the highest number of said ailment. Tacloban has about
320 dengue fever cases which account 23 percent of the entire dengue fever cases of the region. The towns of Guiuan in Eastern Samar and Catarman in Northern Samar followed Tacloban with high number of dengue fever cases. Guiuan has 73 cases while Catarman has 71 dengue fever cases.

DepEd allows 24 Only 265 private schools in EV have permits to operate this year -- DepEd private schools to hike
PALO, Leyte – Only 265 privately-owned basic education schools have a current permit to operate this school year, following the Department of Education’s (DepEd) crackdown on
learning centers that failed to meet requirements. The DepEd regional office assured that no schools without government accreditation will be allowed to accept enrollees for kin-
dergarten, elementary, and secondary. “The master list of schools with government permit will be posted in the regional office, division office, city and mu-
nicipal halls, schools and other conspicuous places. This will help parents check whether the private schools where their children are presently enrolled in are duly permitted or recognized by the department,” said DepEd Regional Director Luisa Bautista-Yu in a memorandum. Of the 265 schools with recognition, 142 are in Leyte, 39 in Southern Leyte, 36 in Northern Samar, 23 in Eastern Samar, 18 in Samar, and seven in Biliran. Yu asked field officials to step up monitoring against school operating without government permit. She assured that no authority was granted to schools to accept enrollees pending the approval of their application. Those without permit are only allowed to accept learners for pre nursery and

tuition, school fees
PALO, Leyte – The Department of Education (DepEd) had given 24 private elementary and secondary schools in Eastern Visayas a go signal to raise their school fees this year. The government allowed these schools to hike their tuition fee up to P1,000 and miscellaneous fee of up to P665 per student. The rate of increase is between 2% to 42%, DepEd Assistant Regional Director Rebecca Ragrag said that the number of schools with approved tuition fee hike accounts only 9% of the 265 existing private basic education schools in the region.
“There are 34 schools applied for tuition fee increase but we have only approved 24 applications. We allow school fee hike as long as it’s for increase teacher’s salary, improvement of facilities, procurement of learning materials,” Ragrag added. These are Franciscan College of the Immaculate Conception in Baybay City, Leyte; St. Mary’s College of Borongan in Borongan City, Eastern Samar; St. Mary’s College of Catbalogan in Catbalogan City, Samar; St. Joseph College of Maasin in Maasin City, Southern Leyte; Ormoc Adventist Elementary School Inc. and St. Paul’s School of to page 7

Mayor Abunda: I did not mastermind any killing
BORONGAN CITY Borongan city Mayor Ma. Fe Abunda vehemently belied a text message that spread in the city the other day, implicating her in the recent killing of three civilians who were shot to death by still an unknown killer. Earlier, police report disclosed that the three were riding a single motorcycle from a cockfight when they were ambushed by the road of barangay Balud as they headed home to brgy. San Andres, this city.
Speaking through a taped interview over Radyo ng Bayan DYES, the city mayor appealed to those who received the message to never believe such a slanderous information, which she believes was purposely done to malign her and her family. “As true-blooded Catholics, neither one of my family members can even think of such a grim act, ever”, she stressed. The lady mayor appealed instead to her detractors, to once and for
all, stop political backlashing because such black propaganda is now supposed to be over. “I appeal for everyone’s cooperation and participation instead, so that, we can give more progress to Borongan”, Mayor Abunda said. Before she went off the air, Mayor Abunda thanked the Boronganons, both those who voted for her and those who did not, for another landslide victory given her. Rest assured, she said that this trust and confi-
PRO8 Ladies Club shares happiness to school children
Camp Ruperto Kangleon, Palo, Leyte – The Police Regional Office 8 Officers Ladies Club conducted an outreach program to the children beneficiary of Camp Ruperto Kangleon Daycare Center at Matapat Hall, Campetic, Palo, Leyte on May 28, 2013. The Ladies Club spearheaded by MRS. EMELITA TEVES SORIA, the better-half of the Regional Director, PCSUPT Elmer Ragadio Soria distributed 85 school bags complete with school supplies to the children of said daycare center. Mrs. Soria said that said activity is part of their outreach program to help school children in the region.”This is our
way of helping parents so that they will no longer be hard up in buying the said supplies for their kid,” she said. On the other hand, parents and teachers expressed their gratitude for the help extended to the children which indicates that aside from performing their daily routines being the wife of their husband cops they also care for the welfare of the people who are in need. Aside from the school supplies shared by the Ladies Club, the children had their share of happiness too. They were served food and snacks by the ladies assisted by the Police Regional Community Relations Division (RPCRD) personnel. PCSUPT Elmer Ra-
gadio Soria believes that such a simple act of sharing will inspire the children to do their best in their studies. Parents too should prioritize and know the importance of giving their children an opportunity to gain education. Activities like this will create a closer relationship between the people and the community, added Soria. (PR)

dence which once again, the Boronganons have bestowed upon her, will not go in vain. “If you saw major improvements in our city in the last three years of my stint as your mayor, expect this time for more. In truth, we will improve not only the poblacion but also the barangays including those who did not go with me in the recent election, and they should not think otherwise”, Mayor Abunda added. Since her assumption, Mayor Abunda has implemented numerous major infrastructure projects, from beautification, livelihood to environmental protection fixtures.( ALICE

Police warn public to be vigilant of fake money
TACLOBAN CITY— The police warned the public to watch out for counterfeit paper bills, following the recovery of P10,000 in fake money from three persons on May 27 in Ormoc City. Senior Supt.

“The police stationed at the city market immediately responded to the area and arrested the three suspects. Aside from the fake money used to buy fruits from the vendor, nine more P1,000 fake bills were recovered from the suspects,” Egloso said. “The responding policemen also discovered that the suspects bought meat and assorted goods from other vendors using the fake bills,” Egloso added. The suspects have been detained at the Ormoc City police station I and will be charged with illegal possession and use of false treasury and bank notes and other instruments of Credits in the Ormoc prosecutor’s office.
“To really determine if the bills were fake, we requested the Land Bank of the Philippines to verify them and were indeed found to be fake,” Egloso added. Egloso said the suspects did not specify where they got the counterfeit money. “Engaging in counterfeit currencies is a criminal act that is punishable by law. We advise the public and the business community in particular to be vigilant not to fall prey of such criminals,” Egloso added. (REYAN L. ARINTO)

65 EV cops undergo random drug testing
CAMP KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte – The war against illegal drugs in Eastern Visayas started right in the own backyard of the region’s primary law enforcement agency as 65 policemen assigned in Police Regional Office 8 (PRO8) were subjected to random drug testing on Wednesday. “Policemen are expected to strictly adhere to the policy of non-use of dangerous drug. Drug dependents within our ranks should be weeded out as law enforcers should set as good example to the public,” said Police Chief Superintendent Elmer Ragadio Soria, PRO8 director. Soria added that the random drug testing will ensure that his men are not using illegal drugs as he will not hesitate to dismiss from the police service those who will be found positive for drug
use. Personnel from the Regional Crime Laboratory Office 8 (RCLO8) administered the surprise test since police officers only knew about it early in the morning when they reported for duty. The drug testing for PRO8 personnel is prescribed in Letter of Instruction 17/2012 “Kontra Droga Charlie-Waray” issued on May 3, 2012 as an internal cleansing strategy in line with the National Police Commission (Napolcom) Memorandum Circular No. 99008 which requires the administration of drug test on PNP uniformed personnel. Those found positive for illegal drug use shall be separated from the service after notice and summary hearing without prejudice to the filing of appropriate criminal charges against the offender.

Given this enormous imbalance in lifestyles and the resultant devastating effects on the environment, this year’s theme: “Think.Eat.Save”, encourages everyone to become more aware of the environmental impact of the food choices made and to make informed decisions. World Environment Day is an annual event that is aimed at being the biggest and most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action. World Environment Day activities take place all year round and climax on 5 June every year, involving everyone from everywhere. The World Environment Day celebration began in 1972 and has

Statement of Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail F. Valte on the 1st Quarter GDP Growth for 2013 Today, the National Statistics Coordination Board reported that, in the first quarter of 2013, the Philippines’ GDP grew by 7.8 percent—the highest quarterly growth rate posted under the Aquino administration; and the highest in a non-presidential election year since 1988. Based on initial readings, our economy outperformed that of all Asian economies in terms of first quarter growth, including China, which grew by 7.7 percent, Indonesia, which grew by 6.0 percent, and Malaysia, which grew 4.1 percent. These results surpassed almost all market expectations. Growth was felt in almost all sectors, most notably in local manufacturing, which grew by 9.7 percent. The continuation of government public expenditures was also key, increasing by 13.2 percent. This was helped by the growth in the government’s spending in public construction, which expanded by 45.6 percent. By expenditure, capital formation likewise grew by 47.7 percent. Without doubt, the confidence of both investors and consumers remains strong, as economic activity accelerates even in an uncertain global economic climate. More than economic growth, however, the Aquino administration is focused on fostering inclusive growth. Since our administration took office, we have worked to drastically expand social safety nets to help the most vulnerable in our country. Most noteworthy is the four-fold increase in the budget of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, which to date has helped more than 3.9 million Filipino households. The recent election results show that the public has confidence in the President, and agrees with the direction the country is going. Therefore, our administration will continue to promote and expand policies that lead to a Philippines where no one is left behind. May 30, 2013

Further, any PNP member who without any justifiable reason, refuses or fails to submit a drug test when officially required shall be liable for misconduct and after notice and summary hearing will be penalized accordingly. Passing the drug test is also one of the general requirements for appointment to the PNP and when policemen apply for promotion, mandatory schooling and deployment for United Nations peacekeeping missions.

The Environmental Management Bureau-8 says, World Environment Day 2013 will be celebrated under the theme “Think, Eat Save,” which focuses on anti-food waste and food loss and encouraging people to reduce their “foodprint”. EMB-8 Information Chief Maribel B. Munsayac said that in a report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. This is equivalent to the same amount produced in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed hungry and more

Cracks to perdition
ehicles run with the danger of falling into deep cracks on our highways. The cracks pose real risks to both lives and properties. Traveling along the highways of Samar would give one a scare on many portions of the highway that are badly broken. The cracks are not properly marked with warning signs, sending vehicles to leap at high speed or halt in screeching manner as brakes are abruptly applied to avoid from falling in such holes. Many motorists had certainly encountered these death traps that could cause vehicles turning turtle at an instant mistake of the driver. Passengers are surely cursing government for pushing them into the edge of road mishaps due to badly broken pavements that have no warning signs. Those who are unfamiliar with such road cracks are caught by surprise upon reaching the brink to perdition. If one is traveling at high speed, the risk
of jumping into deep cracks or tumbling off the pavement if very high. The situation is not beyond repair but government is simply not giving enough attention and priority to such problem. It is unfortunate that many repairs are being done on highway pavements that are seemingly still in good condition while dilapidated portions are being left in such bad condition. What is lamentable is the absence of road signs that will forewarn motorists of the dangers they are about to pass. Some roadblocks are placed to prevent vehicles from going straight into such cracks but even the roadblocks are unpainted are hardly visible especially at night. People could only wail every time the vehicle they are riding pass over such deep cracks. While many are complaining in murmurs, nothing is being raised to the attention of concerned agencies. But the problem is very to page 5
Vote buying
No more vote buying, an impossible dream. Electors on 2016 are expecting higher price. “The love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains.” -1 Timothy 6:10 Bible scholars in an article entitled, “How Can You Keep a Balanced View of Money?” explained: “This text does not say that money itself is evil—nor does any other scripture. Neither does the apostle say that money is the fundamental cause of ‘injurious things’ or that money lies at the root of every problem. Rather, the love of money can be a cause—even if not the only cause—of all kinds of ‘injurious things.’” (Watchtower Magazine issue of June 15,
2001, pages 5-8) Indeed, it is the love of money becoming injurious that causes corruption in the government. Vote buying during election may have started first by giving snacks, alcoholic drinks like the native coconut wine known as “tuba”, cigarettes and a little money for transportation fare. Later, it becomes business for leaders during election days.
It becomes the source of good sum of money for some unscrupulous manipulators to teach candidates the method of cheating. Worst to happen, electors receive money from both opposing candidates, if they are lucky to be given. Others do not cast their votes if the candidates failed to give the expected amount. Even those naïve elec-
tors succumbed to the sight of money offered them. They said, “It is an insult to reject an offer.” In the Watchtower Magazine issue of May 1, 2001, pages 3-4, entitled “Why Is There So Much Corruption?” states, “Why do people choose to be corrupt rather than honest? For some, being corrupt may be the easiest way—or indeed the only way—to get what they want. At times, a bribe may provide a convenient means of avoiding punishment. Many who observe that politicians, policemen, and judges seem to ignore corruption or even practice it themselves merely follow their example. “As corruption snow-

Reflections and reverberations. Today scores the third year after turning golden. I look back at all the years heaping up, all the good and bad When I turned 40, I thought I have accomplished what I wanted to – a great job and superb girls. Today, however, I want to audit the last 13 years. I was in a different place mentally, physically and spiritually 13 years ago. It was the beginning of what I like to refer to as the renaissance period. I discovered at least twelve cultures from around the globe, practically differ-
ent, assisting Sudanese friends during Ramadan, teaching English to the Russians, laboring actuary with a Mauritian, hanging between academics and the cup after cup of tsai . When one turns 40, I believed that I should have a career, home, family, happiness, etc. Five years after, I perceived slow progress on my life goals, at least had a steady, respectable job and a house I built alone. But the teaching job gives me greater company. Not because of the extra pay, but more on the sentiment of teaching and learning at the same time.

Today, I feel fortunate. I have that home in a mini forest, job, boisterous grandchildren, chicken eggs here and there, and all that stuff. Although catering to Polly and Vida’s meals at the hospital is additional load, I feel so proud doing it in spite of feeling rather low lately, worrying about work, daily chores, bills, and all other material things all the time until I am feeling beaten down. If I have a rocking chair and I intend to buy me one in the near future, I want to sit back and see how far I have come, my contributions to human resource development if any, and how all my biggest dreams have come true. Everything falling into place, as God promised. Of course, my dream farmhouse is in blueprint, only then will the turkeys and goats be safe. Tomorrow may be, another dream. A happy birthday indeed.
The problem with ‘padrinos’
Upping the Ante frANZ RAYMOND P. ASPA Nothing bums me out more than hearing of someone getting appointed to a government position and then eventually bungling because he is not cut out for the job. He, in the process, renders laughable an otherwise esteemed position. Why was he appointed in the first place, you ask? Blame it on the ‘padrino’ system. Also coined as ‘patronage’, the ‘padrino’ system is a value system which teem Filipino culture and politics that enables one to get promoted or appointed to a political position either through family relation or friendship. It dispenses with the need of the appointing authority glancing at the supposed credentials of the applicant, although he might as well look at a blank parchment because most often than not, such
credentials don’t exist. For obvious reasons, the system has been, and continues to be, the root of graft and corruption. It is always “quid pro quo.” One who seeks political appointment under its auspices cannot wish to be appointed and just get away with it. The bum will owe his sponsor a debt of gratitude, always payable at whatever price. So why, do you ask, am I so pissed with the system? Its workings never bugged me until I wished to put to fruition my desire to belong among the country’s public defenders. I was very optimistic, nay idealistic, then, vowing, as in fact it was a promise to Someone, to help those who have little in life to have more in law. What do you suppose should burst my bubble? It has been 5 years or so since I submitted my appli-
Leyte Samar Daily Express
cation for the position and I have yet to hear of any news whether or not it still lives. Some of my contemporaries, in fact even those who became counsellors only years after me, have already been appointed to the position I once desperately sought and are now even vying for promotion. Asked on how they got appointed so freakishly fast, they answered “persistence”. Of course, I knew it was pure bull. The problem with the ‘padrino’ system is that, as was said before, it breeds graft. It is ‘tit for tat’ under it. The giving of favour entails returning it back, usually regardless of the circumstances, let alone morality, of the favour that is asked in return. The hands of the first to dive into the cesspool are practically tied, left with no choice than to give in to his endorser’s biddings, usually, if not always, entailing selling his soul to the devil. The problem with the system is it tolerates and validates incompetency. Appointment or promotion to a government position is for the revolting reason of connection, or at least a great chunk of it. Requirements of competency, efficiency and impeccable credentials are practically reduced to
balls, it becomes more acceptable until it is finally a way of life. People with pitifully low wages come to feel that they have no option. They have to demand bribes if they want to make a decent living. And when those who extort bribes or pay them to gain an unfair advantage go unpunished, few are prepared to swim against the tide. ‘Because sentence against a bad work has not been executed speedily, that is why the heart of the sons of men has become fully set in them to do bad,’ observed King Solomon.—Ecclesiastes 8:11.” Money in the recent election had flooded electorates that the next day became festive in the commercial places. You could hear the buyers say, “We received P6,000.00, because we are four voters in the family. Election should be yearly for us poor to get the bonus.” The woman explained how they got P6,000.00. One candidate gave each of them P1,000.00 and the opposing candidate P500.00 each. She even felt sorry the candidate who gave them P1,000.00 did not win. I asked the woman whether her conscience is bothered. She replied, “No. I expect to receive more money next election because my teenage son can already be a registered voter.” Leyte election supervisor, Richard Alvin Japzon’s comment that he merely hears there was vote buying, but nobody came to nil. Be sure to have the right connections and that alone will take you there, and fast, without ever worrying that your credentials suck. The problem with the system is it gives the alsoran reason to brag his undeserved position. It gives him the occasion to go around and strut his station but on an inexistent qualification. Some may know, as do I, that Senator Defensor-Santiago, popularly branded as the cuckoo in the Senate, has attempted to pull out this shard thrust in the very heart of Philippine culture and politics with her passage in 2008 of Senate Bill No. 2616, bluntly called by her as the “AntiPolitical Recommendation Act.” Unfortunately, that bill which ought to be the pincers that should pull out that stuck splinter has been easily thwarted, allowing it only to dust in the shelves of the Senate.

their office to file a formal complaint. Who among the candidates will file a complaint with nobody willing to testify receiving an amount from the candidate? In Cavite province, a candidate was shown in the television distributing money before Election Day who admitted to have been giving the money as wages for their watchers. Will those persons seen receiving money testify the it was payment for the votes they have to cast? Unfortunately, no one

wants to be like whistleblower Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada Jr., who is now facing charges, not for blowing the whistle, but on another case he is involved. The unpleasant vote buying situation will be difficult to erase from the system. It will take a perfect person to do it. The “matuwid na daan” will remain a slogan difficult to curb the present imperfection. I may be wrong, but only times will be the judge. (Feedback welcome, g_duna@yahoo.com)
May 31, 2013 – Friday Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Zep 3:14-18 [or Rom 12:9-16]; Is 12; Lk 1:39-56
MARY VISITS ELIZABETH Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And now does this happen to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.
VISITATION The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Elizabeth was an ordinary event. It is not like events such as the Immaculate Conception or the Assumption. But through an ordinary event, extraordinary things happened. First of all, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit; secondly, she exclaimed the words, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” which form part of the “Hail Mary’. Thirdly, John the Baptist was also filled with the Holy Spirit. Fourthly, Mary uttered the hymn, “the Magnificat” which forms part of the liturgy of the hours in the evening prayer of the Church. Thus through ordinary events, extraordinary things can happen. This is true also in our own lives. Through our ordinary actions, we can bring grace, peace and help to others. One of the invocations in Mary’s litany is “Ark of the Covenant.” Like the Ark of the Covenant of old, Mary brings God’s presence into the lives of other people. As David danced before the Ark, John the Baptist leapt for joy. As the Ark helped to untie 12 tribes of Israel by being placed in David’s capital, so Mary has the power to unite all Christians in her Son. At times, devotion to Mary may have occasioned some divisiveness, but we can hope that authentic devotion will lead all to Christ and therefore to one another. (HIS WORD IS LIFE by Vima Dasan, S.J., published by Paulines. Visit us at www.paulines.ph or at Paulines Media Center, Real St., Tacloban City, Tel. # 321-3195) Sower’s Thought: “To exclude Mary from the apostolate [and from one’s life] would be to ignore one of the most essential parts of God’s plan of redemption. It would be to deprive oneself of Mary’s allpowerful entreaty; it would be to ignore the fact that, having once given Jesus Christ by means of Mary, God no longer changes his method, style or design. Mary generated the Head, Mary generates the members.” –Blessed James Alberione, SSP, S.Th.D., Founder of the Pauline Family

glaring for government officials not to notice. It is realto force one to abandon even the ship of his own principles. But as I have yet to reach that level of despondency, I am sticking to the old-school form of getting hitched at work – of laying down on the table all I’ve got and praying to the heavens that I eventually get noticed.

CONNY S. LEONES, Petitioner -versusKEN OSAMURA, Respondent Civil Case No. R-ORM-13-00025-CV For: DECLARATION OF NULLITY OF MARRIAGE x- - - - - - - -x PETITION
Petitioner, by undersigned counsel, unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully states: I. The Parties 1.1. She is of legal age, Filipino and with postal address at Brgy. Luna, Ormoc City, Leyte. For purposes of this action, she may be served summons and other processes of the Court at the offices of undersigned counsel. 1.2. Respondent, is likewise of legal age, a Japanese national and whose last known address is 7-420, Tateishi, Katsushika, Tokyo, Japan. II. Required Information Per Sec. 5 2), A.M. 02-1110-SC 2.1. The parties do not have any children. 2.2. The parties did not acquire any properties during their marriage. III. The Relevant Facts 3.1. Petitioner first met Respondent in early May 2006 in Marikina City. The latter was introduced to Petitioner by her own sister, who was acquainted with Respondent and had met him in Japan. Both Petitioner’s sister and herein Respondent were in the country for a vacation. 3.2. At the time, Petitioner was eager join her sister in Japan and seek employment there. Petitioner’s sister then suggested that she simulate a marriage with Respondent, saying that it would be easier for her to travel to and find work in Japan. No knowing any better, and motivated only by the honest desire to join her sister in Japan in as easy a way as possible, Petitioner consented to the idea. 3.3. Petitioner did not at all know Respondent. She first
met him at the airport upon his arrival with Petitioner’s sister sometime in the first week of May 2006. They could not even communicate as Respondent did not speak English but spoke only Japanese. Thus, the discussions about the proposed simulated marriage and the reasons for the same were done through Petitioner’s sister, who acted as an interpreter. 3.4. Petitioner’s sister made all the arrangements for the purported marriage. All that Petitioner was told was that there was somebody taking care of securing and processing all of the necessary documentation. 3.5. True enough, Petitioner and Respondent were simply informed of the date, time and place of her “wedding”. Following the arrangements made by her sister, the parties went to the offices of a certain Cesar T. Ching in Marikina City at mid-morning of May 17, 2006. She was with some members of her family, who were also aware of the simulated nature of the marriage. Mr. Ching, Petitioner was told, was a Minister of the Philippine Christian Catholic Church. 3.6. Petitioner is not and was never a member of the Philippine Christian Catholic Church. And neither was Respondent who, as earlier mentioned, only came to the Philippines just a few days prior to the supposed “wedding”. Moreover, Petitioner does not recall processing any application for a marriage license before the Local Civil Registrar of San Juan, as she never resided there. She was thus surprised when, upon arriving at the offices of Mr. Ching, she was shown what was purported to be a Marriage License issued by the Local Civil Registrar of that place. She noted that the license was dated that very same day, i.e., May 17, 2006. It must be said here that the place where the “wedding” took place was just a simple office rather than a church, temple or chapel. 3.7. It must also be said that no real marriage ceremony took place. Rather than the
required formalities, all that Mr. Ching did was a perfunctory meeting, consisting principally of guiding the parties in signing the Certificate of Marriage.1 3.8. Petitioner and Respondent never lived together. Neither did they consummate their marriage. To the contrary, they went their separate ways shortly after their “marriage”. In fact, Respondent left the country just a few days after the “wedding”. 3.9. Petitioner has not heard of or from Respondent since after their “marriage”. IV. Cause of Action 4.1. Petitioner’s marriage to Respondent is clearly void. Apart from being absolutely simulated, certain essential and formal requisites are clearly lacking. 4.2. Firstly, the purported marriage license is clearly a sham. As narrated above, the parties did not apply for its issuance before the Local Civil Registrar of San Juan. Also as earlier stated, neither Petitioner nor Respondent habitually resided in the said city. Besides, given the proximity of Respondent’s arrival here in the Philippines, there clearly was no compliance with the publication requirement of the notice attesting to the parties’ application for a marriage license. 4.3. Secondly, neither of the parties was a member of the solemnizing officer’s church or religious sect - assuming that Mr. Ching was indeed a minister as was his claim. Given this fact, the authority of Mr. Ching as the solemnizing officer of the parties’ “wedding” is clearly wanting. 4.5. Thirdly, no marriage ceremony ever took place. As earlier narrated, the parties did not even bother to make a personal declaration that they were taking each other as husband and wife. To the contrary, all they had was a perfunctory meeting which consisted of Mr. Ching guiding them to the signing of their Certificate of Marriage. 4.6. From the foregoing it is indubitable that the parties’ marriage is void when ranged
undertake repairs or even place road signs to warn people from falling into deadly cracks on our highways, there is much fund to banner shameless faces of politicians and government officials whose expensive billboards are scattered along our highways. Maybe people should pester government officials with complaints if only to push them to act on matters affecting their very lives. Until when can we endure living on the great dangers of deadly cracks to perdition?
against the provisions of Article 4 of the Family Code, in relation to Articles 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11, among others, of the Family Code of the Philippines. 4.7. Finally, the instant case is clearly an example of a simulated marriage. Also as narrated earlier, Petitioner entered into marriage upon her sister’s suggestion and solely for the purpose of being able to travel to Japan and work there and seek the proverbial “greener pastures”. Simulated marriages are absolutely null and void ab initio as they are clearly against good order, law, public policy and our time-honored customs. PRAYER WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed to this Honorable court GRANT this petition and render judgment declaring the parties’ marriage void ab initio. Other just and equitable reliefs are prayed for. Ormoc City, Leyte. April 24, 2013.

NEWS Sacked Caraga mines chief welcomes probe
Friday, 31 May 2013
TACLOBAN CITY--“I am just doing a good job but misunderstood by some or am just manipulated.” So said Engr. Roger A. de Dios, former regional director of Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) in Caraga region in a phone message to Leyte Samar Daily Express. According to De Dios, he was “relieved as MGBRegion XIII director effective May 15 due to Nonoc mining issue.” “It’s a complicated issue and I am open for any investigation because I think I have not violated any rules especially that I
am just complying court orders,” added De Dios over a phone interview. However the beleaguered mines chief didn’t elaborated on the issue. Reportedly De Dios was relieved due to his alleged failure to comply a directive from MGB central office for him to issue a “cease and desist” order on the ore transport permits against one mining company operating in Nonoc Island, Surigao city. Since March De Dios has also been a subject for a series of protests from anti-mining advocates in Surigao del Norte and Su-
rigao del Sur provinces also allegedly for his failure to implement a court order to temporarily stop the operation of another mining company Marcventures Mining and Development Corporation(MMDC) in “a declared watershed forest reserve area” in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur. Protesters accused De Dios of “acting as a lawyer and community relations officer of MMDC.” A native of Cebu, De Dios has been the MGB director in Central and Eastern Visayas regions prior to his assignment in Caraga in September 2012.

City Comelec reminds bets to submit elections expenses TACLOBAN CITYThe Commission on Elections here in the city has reminded candidates who ran the May 13 elections to submit their expense related to the elections. Failure of the candidates, either winners or losers, to submit their elections expenses has a corresponding penalty, city elections officer Karen Cajipo said. “There is a corresponding penalty for those who will not submit it. The winners cannot assume the posts plus fine while those who lost will be fined,” Cajipo said. Winners of the May 13, 2013 elections are to assume on June 30. The submission of the elections expenses is to end on June 12, Cajipo said. Based on records, of the 41 candidates in the city who ran for various positions, only two has so far submitted the required document.
They were Rome Francisco and Francisco Mercado who ran for vice mayor and mayor, respectively. Francisco reported of just P6, 240 election expenses out of his personal pocket while Mercado submitted of P50, 000 expenses. Of this amount, P45, 000 were said to be contributed by his supporters while the remaining P5, 000 was from his own personal fund. Both Francisco and Mercado lost on their respective bids. The city elections board of canvassers, chaired by Cajipo, had declared incumbent Mayor Alfred Romualdez and outgoing Councilor Jerry “Sambo” Yaokasin as winners for the mayoralty and vice mayoralty posts, respectively. Based on our elections law, each candidate is only limited to spend P3 per voter. However, this provision is not being followed during the elections. The submission of the
elections expenses is also contained at the certificates of candidacy submitted by the candidates before the Commission on Elections. In the city, the elections were marked with massive vote-buying, a malpractice noted in other parts of the country.The amount ranged from as low as P20 and as high as P1, 000. Meantime, Cajipo said that the voters turn out in Tacloban was impressive more than 84 percent of the city’s registered voters went to the polls to cast their votes. In actual figure and based on the votes canvassed by the city board of canvassers, 92,163 registered voters of the city trooped to the polling precincts. Tacloban has 109,027 registered voters. “The 84.5 percent turnout of voters is quite high,” Cajipo said. (JOEY
TACLOBAN CITYThe local operations officer of this city has joined call not to reset the scheduled October barangay polls. In an interview with Leyte Samar Daily Express, lawyer Darwin Bibar, city local operations officer, said that the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections should not be postponed but go on as originally scheduled. He, however, said that if Congress would reschedule the village polls, then it has to be respected. As of now, Bibar said that they do not have any information concerning to the reported postponement of the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections. “We do not have any information received if the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan election will be postponed or not. But any result from this proposed postponement in Congress, rest assured that the City DILG will be more than happy to accept and respect the result,” Bibar said. Earlier, there were
clamor to cancel this year’s barangay and SK elections considering that the country had just had a midterm elections. However, President Aquino appeared to be cold on this proposal. “With the new set of officials in the city of Tacloban, it is better also to have new barangay officials,” Bibar said. If the October 2013 barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections will
proceed, Bibar said that it would be a welcome development for the Department of the Interior and Local Government. “It is a matter of prioritizing. If the national government would consider that the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan election is urgent, then they could find ways in order to have a sufficient funds for it,” Bibar added.
