2.26-M voters to elect barangay officials today

BY JOEY A. GABIETA

TACLOBAN CITY- Elections and security officials in the region are optimistic that today’s barangay polls will turn to be peaceful and orderly as the more than 72,000 candidates running in the elections were warned to observe elections-related laws.

Lawyer Jose Nick Mendros, regional director of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), said that

they have done their part to ensure that the conduct of today’s barangay elections across the region would turn to be peaceful.

Mendros urged candidates running in this year’s village polls not to engage to any acts that

would not only tend to disrupt the peaceful and orderly conduct of the elections but could result to their possible legal problems in the future.

“We ask the candidates and their leaders that they are already prohibited to campaign,” the

Comelec regional director said.

For this year’s barangay elections, there are 8,900 individuals who filed their certificates of candidacy for barangay chairmen and 63,749 filed their CoCs for village councilors.

The region’s more than 2.66 million registered voters are to select their respective chairmen and seven councilors. The region has 4,390 barangays with 3,780 voting centers.

Smart announces finalists for 10th SWEEP Innovation and Excellence Awards Five engineering schools from Luzon have reached the finals stage in this year’s nationwide search for the most innovative mobile applications and wireless devices under the 10th SWEEP Innovation and Excellence Awards of wireless leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart).

Batangas State University and Wesleyan University had three finalistentries each; Polytechnic University of the Philippines had two; while Bulacan State University and Bataan Peninsula State University had one entry each in the final 10.

Under the annual innovation awards of the Smart Wireless Engineering Education Program, or SWEEP, graduating students from partner-

schools must come up with ground-breaking wireless devices or mobile applications that seek to address a problem of a particular community or society in general.

With the theme, Transforming Lives through Technology, these SWEEP innovations intend to help build up the capacities of Filipinos to improve their lives.

“We aim to promote the culture of innovation in schools because we recognize that even the biggest telco in the country doesn’t have a monopoly on the brightest minds,” said Smart Public Affairs Head Ramon Isberto.

“We are also helping these students develop their prototypes into commercial applications that people and communities

Batangas State University’s three entries are as follows: SMART MushROOM (agriculture); SMART Eco Award (environment); and Aquarius: Smart Beacon Bracelet (disaster & emergency preparedness).

Wesleyan University’s three entries are SMART ALAS (education); SMART TODA (transportation); and SMART TRAPD (health).

PUP’s two entries are proposed devices and applications in the categories of agriculture (SMS-based Electrical Conductivity Sensing Device for Soil pH and Moisture Content Evaluation) and transportation (i-LPG: Interconnected Live Protection from Gas leakage).

Rounding up the list are Bulacan State University’s SMART Wi-Bi RESCUER: Wireless Biopotential Remote Sensing for Civilians Under Earth or Rubble (disaster & emergency preparedness); and Bataan Peninsula State University’s Smart Coin Bank-Wireless Coin Deposit Facility for Remote and Rural Locations (livelihood).

The ten finalist-teams were joined by their mentors in a boot camp held at the First Pacific Learning Academy in Antipolo City last October 23-25.

Executives from IdeaSpace Foundation (IdeaSpace) and Voyager Innovations (Voyager) gave talks on

start-ups and how to go about developing these prototypes from idea, to product development, and into the market as viable business models.

Start-up companies whose main proponents were previous winners and finalists of SWEEP Awards also gave this year’s finalists a dose of inspiration by talking about their experiences as technopreneurs.

P5-B CHED budget for scholarship a big help to students – VG Loreto

TACLOBAN CITY – Leyte Vice Governor Carlo Loreto said the P5 billion budget for the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in 2014 intended for scholarships and financial assistance to students would solve the dilemma of scholars where they can get free or subsidized education provided for by congressmen through the scrapped Priority Development Assistance Fund.

Loreto said that this would further strengthen the country’s human resource, which are equally important in the pursuit of more economic and academic development in the country.

“This is actually good since we would be investing our human resource.

We cannot compete globally if our human resource are left behind,” Loreto said.

Loreto, who sits in the Board of Regents of the Leyte Normal University, said it would be better if the scholarships would be geared towards courses in entrepreneurship and research.

“We are very far behind in the ranking of the education system in the world because for our lack in research works and studies. This may be one field where we can pour in scholarships and become competitive,” Loreto added.

Under the Special Provisions of the 2014 National Expenditure Program, SUCs are allocated P5 billion, where P2.5 billion would be for scholarships, while another P2.5 billion would be allocated for capital outlay.

Scholarships would target key growth areas aligned with the priorities of the government, such as semiconductor and electronics, business process outsourcing, tourism, agriculture and fisheries, general infrastructure, and other priority manufacturing industries.

It was learned that this budged is aimed at further improving the quality of the country’s tertiary education system through the provision of key services and facilities to our

students and CHED would determine the allocations for SUCs nationwide, based on how they’ve fulfilled their objectives under the roadmap.

By defining major initiatives and tangible outputs, the roadmap will help SUCs prime their students to join the workforce and respond to the manpower demands of fast-growing industries.

State education reforms are part of the Aquino administration’s agenda for promoting the enhancement of the country’s workforce, creating more employment opportunities for the country’s expanding pool of skilled graduates, and facilitating longterm and inclusive growth.

A tragic reality: 54% of Filipinos unaware of lawmakers projects?

T

hat result of a survey of 54% of Filipinos conducted by Pulse Asia Research Inc., revealed that they are unaware of the projects (honorable?) representatives and senators have implemented in their respective districts or constituencies.

In the first place, lawmakers by normal government operations standards are not supposed to implement projects. In our present set-up lawmakers only pinpoint or identify projects to government agencies which actually implement them. Even as these are charged to their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) commonly called pork barrel of legislators.

So how could constituents know that some projects that are being implemented in their respective districts come from the pork barrels or the PDAF of legislators, especially so that erecting “signages” on projects where it should supposedly contain names of congressmen (or epal); are strictly prohibited?

With the expose being known all over the land on the pork barrel scam, we surmise that congressmen may indeed like the fact that people do not know what projects they have implemented, so their constituents would not have the opportunity to ask how much they got from these. Congressmen know one reality that during elections money – much, much, much money makes a lot of difference in winning. So they pile this corrupted money in their respective secret closets and will use them only when elections come.

This should not go on forever. The principle of transparency should be upheld, strictly monitored and implemented in order to make alive and make real to the fullest President Noynoy Aquino’s “matuwid na daan” battle cry for good governance.

Article III of the Constitution under the heading state policies on Section 28 it says: to page 5

Cancel senator’s passports? Yeeeessss!!

The move of DOJ Secretary Leila de Lima requesting the Department of Foreign Affairs to cancel (meanwhile?) the passports of 3 senators: Juan Ponce Enrile; Jinggoy Estrada and the “Amazing Kap…” teleserye star Bong Revilla and 35 other respondents in the P10 billion pork barrel scam, is definitely a welcome move. We appreciate the courage Secretary de Lima who possesses the muchneeded “balls” in initiating such move.

Let us get into the reactions of two senators

allegedly involved in the scam and the stand made by our very own pretty boy Representative Ferdinand Martin R. Romualdez.

Bong “the star” Revilla: He denounced DOJ Secretary de Lima

for violating his human right to travel.

He further said that de Lima acted with bias and (pursuing) her own agenda. He also charged her actions as a lust (grabe ka naman Bong!) for publicity and an overweening

ambition and accused her further of having that desire to boast; to project herself…and has “disrespected the law”.

De Lima is a lawyer and Bong is NOT. Jinggoy “Anak ni Erap” Estrada: He is reported to be quite “unfazed”.

But he will leave anytime he wants to just the same, for as long as there is no court order yet…and if ever he leaves he will definitely be coming back to face the charges. “There is

Probable absolution from the scam participation

The people in Bohol has been openly complaining of the trickle and slow flow of help that they receive from the government after the place has been hit by a massive earthquake that claimed close to 200 lives and resulted to the destruction of centuries-old churches and other public structures and homes. Until now, bridges have not been repaired yet although the President has ordered the DPHW to restore it to normal conditions in a week’s time. Except for some private organizations and media outlets, the effect of government assistance has not been

felt yet. It could be because the victims are expecting not only food and clothing, the families affected by the earthquake have lost their homes and some of them, their loved ones. Two to three days worth of food commodity would never be enough for people who are bereft of hope. To average individuals or families, home is synonymous to hope and life, losing it is like embracing death.

It is surprising that the people who benefitted from the kickbacks of the PDAF and DAP have remained silent so far. Sharing their loot with the neediest victims could probably lessen

their retribution. It may lessen the burden of guilt and remorse they have been experiencing. After all, man by nature is good and the tendency to do well is greater to doing evil except when circumstances push the person to the edge. Now is the most opportune time to recover from their ignominy. The children of those who have lived in style and who flaunted wealth to the max could show a little humanity by donating to the earthquake victims. The money the families have hidden in secret bank accounts could probably provide hundreds to thousands simple core shelters. With a little pittance from them, some of our brother Boholanos who are considered poorest of the poor could rest their weary limbs while they also get absolved from their roles in the greatest scam they have participated. They could actually start doing this without fanfare.

Cancel...

local government unit officials and government agencies are strong proofs that the scam indeed happened.

And yet these senators and the 35 others involved are still free.

If those involved in this scam were simply government employees of lesser caliber certainly they shall have been ordered suspended by now.

To my mind this holddeparture order via cancellation of passports are in order.

The “Amazing Kap” lead role, cries of his human rights to travel that is being denied. Has he not thought of the millions, yet to be proven though, that went into his deep pocket (60% of PDAF) from the Filipino people who made him “topnotcher” in the elections, had been denied of much needed projects for their welfare.

Jinggoy in a statement that appears tinted with arrogance and appears boasting, “I will go on travel” for as long as the court will not stop him. He knows however that every Juan, Pedro, Pablo and

the Marias of the land are aware that he is a suspect in this scam.

Our very own, Leyte’s 1st district Rep. Martin R. Romualdez added an unexpected comments to this controversy with: “Why the hurry?”

And I say `Sir, do we have to wait till the suspects shall have gone out to somewhere and become difficult to apprehend when they shall have formally been tried?

Finally why I say “Amazing Kap….”with Bong on the lead role it’s because that is the only one that reminds me of actor Bong Revilla, NOTHING about his being Senator of the land.

Why Jinggoy “anak ni Erap.” I say almost a similar analogy. I wonder if Jinggoy would have become a “successful” politician as he appears to be in the here and now, if not for the influence of “Asiong Salonga” his father, deposed President and now mayor of Manila.

Also there is nothing I can see in him as a productive Senator. I mean NOTHING!

from page 4 no country that I know that I love except the Philippines.”

Brravvo!!??

-oOoFerdinand Martin “FM” Romualdez reacted “why the rush in cancelling passports,” when no case has yet been formally filed? FM is a lawyer!

JPE has not said anything – a lawyer.

-oOoThis P10B pork barrel and other similar big- time scam most of which happened during the controversial GMA presidency – that trigger nationwide condemnation from all sectors of society of the country, is a very clear picture how the administration of justice is being run in the Philippines.

P10 Billion (we know it’s more than this!) is hard-earned taxes of Filipinos. The revelations of whistle blowers are credible for the mere fact that they fearlessly pinpointed big names sallying forth in the corridors of power: legislature,

Getting back on our feet WE have been floored by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. The number of casualties is increasing, and the damage has been extensive in terms of properties and infrastructure.

Houses and buildings have fallen. Landslides have blocked roads, bridges destroyed, isolating towns.

But it’s most heartbreaking to see churches collapse or practically ruined. That sight alone touches right deep in people’s soul like no other.

Gone, for now, are those precious treasures that represent our people’s journey of faith and piety through the centuries. Their mere presence, even as we just happen to pass them by, never fails to evoke a certain sense of our identity.

We may not have been a very good member of the Church or one who is consistently faithful to it, but somehow we feel we belong to it, just as any child continues to belong to a family whether he behaves well or not. We are always welcome to enter it. It does not make easy, uncharitable distinctions.

Some of us are asking why these churches have to go the way they did during the temblor. Well, God has his ways, his very mysterious ways. And if we continue to have faith, we know that everything happens for a good reason. “Omnia in bonum,” as they say.

We have to reinforce our belief that God is conveying a beautiful message to

“Subject to reasonable conditions prescribe by law, the state adopts and implement a policy of full public disclosure of all its transactions involving public interest.”

us through their disappearance. Obviously we have to try to decipher and fathom it. We can always try.

We should not just focus on the purifying or penalizing aspect of their disappearance, destruction or damage, though that alone holds a good basis. For one, we have often taken them for granted, allowing them to drift to deterioration.

Very often, when I visited many of these old

churches, I got the impression that they were treated like aging great-grandmothers who were more of a bother than a useful constituent. They seem to be maintained only as a religious prop or cultural ornament. Their sacramentality as our home with God is practically lost.

This is not to mention that in our life of piety, many things have gone

October 28, 2013 – Monday of the 30th Week Sts.Simon and Jude, apostle Eph 2:19-22; Ps 19; Lk 6:12-19

THE MISSION OF THE TWELVE Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

SIMON AND JUDE, APOSTLES Jude is so named in Luke and Acts. Matthew and Mark call him Thaddeus. He is not mentioned elsewhere in the Gospels, except of course where all the apostles are referred to. Simon is mentioned in all the four lists of the Apostles. In two of them he is called “the Zealot”.

The Zealots were a Jewish sect that represented an extreme of Jewish nationalism. For them, the Messianic promise was made only to the Jews. However, Simon had to learn later that Jesus came not just for Jews but for all people on earth. These men, called by Jesus to be his apostles, began their following of Jesus in uncertainty, as we all do in life, and they were led by the Lord into experiences of confusion, confrontation and downright fear. When Jesus was arrested and killed, their whole world was shattered. But in the days of the Lord’s resurrection and appearances, their faith in the Lord was restored, and fired by the Spirit, they went out to preach the Gospel of the Lord, thus becoming the foundation stones of the Church. It is said that Simon and Jude journeyed together into Persia where they were martyred. These two Apostles, helped by the Spirit, slowly matured in Christ. Detaching themselves from a desire for soft living, morbid fear of death, foolish self-importance and self-preoccupation, they surrendered themselves joyfully to live by the teachings of Jesus until their death and spent every ounce of their energy for spreading the Gospel. May the Holy Spirit lead us to the same kind of maturity in Christ Jesus. (His Word is Life

sour. We like to strut our religiosity, yet even in the externals alone, many holes and inconsistencies can be seen. If we are not lax, our most prevalent predicament, then we go to the other extreme of being too fastidious as to be rigid and superstitious.

But I’m sure there is a lot more of positive reasons why these beautiful churches are gone for now.

I like to believe that God is challenging us to rebuild our spiritual life so we can rebuild our churches, making them more beautiful, stronger and more adapted

to current and foreseeable situations and challenges.

God is asking us to get our act together in both our own personal and collective life. We need to develop a strong and functioning interior life of love of God, and a vibrant concern for the others in all aspects of life, both material and spiritual, both mundane and sacred.

We have to break loose from our complacency in our relation with God and others, and really enter into a most meaningful engagement with him and everybody else.

We need to mature in our faith, after so many centuries already of Chris-

tian life. We need to man up so as to grapple with the real issues of our life and not get entangled with the non-essentials, though they too need to be duly attended to and related to what is truly important.

I know the transition is not easy. But it can be facilitated if we try our best to put our mind and heart, plus all our resources, into the task of rebuilding simultaneously our spiritual life and our churches. This can be done. This is not a quixotic dream.

We need to get back on our feet and move on with a revitalized and purified sense of purpose in life.

We have to rise from the

ruins, counting on God’s grace and our all-out effort.

Christ has reassured us that we can resurrect not only on the last day, but also on any day as long as make the necessary changes in our life. His promise of a new creation is effective as often as we decide to return to him and to take him and his beautiful will for us seriously.

This, I believe, is how we should react to the loss of our beautiful churches and the devastation of the earthquake. God is planting a seed in us that has to die first in order to grow and bear more fruit.

Daag also clarified that not all cracks in the land are faults and at the same time, not all faults can be seen by the naked eye.

“We map based on morphology. So kung walang morphology or nabura through erosion, hindi mo makikita,” said Daag.

He added, “Hindi naman necessarily na buong stretch ay lalabas.”

Phivolcs already added several seismographs on different areas in Bohol to have a better understanding of the fault that caused the

earthquake.

Daag said, “Nagrequest kami ng dagdag na satellite images... Nagrequest din kami ng aerial survey para sundan ang fault. Pero mahirap din talaga sundan kasi lalo ‘yung mga researchers on the ground, ang sabi nila bulubundukin ang area.”

Q: Why is the damage so massive?

A: According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a magnitude 7.2 quake can generate as much as an Intensity VIII tremor, which means: “Damage slight in specially designed structures; considerable damage in ordinary substantial buildings with partial collapse. Damage great in poorly built structures. Fall of chimneys, factory stacks, columns, monuments, walls. Heavy furniture overturned.”

Q: Is Bohol sinking?

A: The fault that generated the temblor is what geologists call a “thrust fault.”

(See USGS animation here.)

Instead of moving horizontally, the blocks move upward and downward relative to each other.

Following this, Bohol is not sinking.

As a result, Bohol gained hundreds of meters of shoreline. “Umatras ‘yung dagat. Hindi naman magsusubside ‘yung dagat. Same volume iyan, hindi nagbabago, pero umangat ‘yung land siguro around 500 meters,” said Aurelio.

Q: How about sinkholes? Don’t they mean that Bohol is sinking due to the quake?

A: Daag said that Bohol island is largely made up of limestones while a few portions of remnant of old volcanoes. Aurelio estimated Bohol to be roughly 60 percent made up of limestones, including the Chocolate Hills.

Imagine making a sand castle and you were not able to compact the sand before forming it into a castle. Its

Leyte Samar Daily Express foundation will be weak and even just a faint movement will cause it to collapse.

Daag said, “Ibig sabihin, dating nakalubong sa dagat ito, tapos umangat lang.

Tapos kapag naexpose na, ‘yung mga rainwater ang magfoform ng... carbonic acid so nagdi-dissolve ‘yung ilalim minsan. Parang ‘yung mga kweba. Marami ring mga kweba diyan. So kung mayroon ganoong structural indicators, pag niyanig mo iyan, pwedeng mag-collapse iyan.”

Aurelio added, “Bohol is very prone to sinkholes because limestones are also prone to cave formation.

They react to water over long periods of time. Ngayon, pag may cavity ka na sa ilalim, ibig sabihin siyempre, weakness na iyan. Anything above it lalo na kapag medyo manipis-nipis na, especially during an earthquake, then you induce a sinkhole formation.”

The two scientists emphasized that most reported sinkholes in Bohol are localized and that they can occur even without the earthquakes.

Q: Has Bohol ever been prone to earthquakes of this magnitude?

A: Aurelio said, “A record (seismological records) shows that Bohol has not experienced as many earthquakes as say, Luzon like Ilocos which is frequently visited by earthquakes. Ang Bohol, relatively, hindi siya expected na maraming earthquakes.”

But Phivolcs said in its website, “Bohol Island is one of the seismically active areas in the country.

Instrumental monitoring of earthquakes for the past century has detected many small to moderate-magnitude earthquakes in Bohol Island. There is at least one known earthquake generator on the island, the East Bohol Fault. In addition, there are other local faults that can be sources of small to large magnitude earthquakes.” (SUNNEX) In 1990, Phivolcs recorded a magnitude 6.8

Lessons from a disaster: Ten things we need to know about the Bohol quake TRAUMA and constant fear linger in most of the people who have been affected by the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that hit Central Visayas on October 15.

The deadly quake killed 211 as of 5 p.m. October 25, and the death toll is still slowly increasing. The damage it caused is already P1.45 billion worth of devastated buildings, bridges, and roads, among others.

Thousands of families remain inside evacuation centers.

Ten days after the disaster and with more than 2,700 aftershocks recorded, has the public understood what happened, its implication and how to minimize the risks involved?

With the help of geoscientists from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) and the University of the Philippines National Institute of Geological Sciences (UP NIGS), here are some of the things everyone needs to know about earthquake and what happened in Bohol.

Q: What happened in the October 15 earthquake in Bohol?

A: Around 8:12 a.m., residents in Central Visayas experienced ground shaking. The strongest, at Intensity VII, was felt in Tagbilaran City, Bohol and several areas in Cebu.

Initially, Phivolcs said that the epicenter, or the location directly above the place that sends vibrations underneath the ground of the quake, was in Carmen

town in Bohol. But after receiving other data, they relocated it to somewhere near Sagbayan.

Several aftershocks followed and are still occurring from time to time up to now.

Q: What caused the killer quake?

A: Earthquakes happen because rocks slip past each other. Dr. Mario Aurelio, a structural geologist from UP NIGS, said, “Ang nagko-cause ng movement ng blocks is that mayroong naiipong stress. When the stress is too strong for the fault to bear, bibigay na ang fault. In the process, ‘yung paggalaw ng fault releases energy.”

Aurelio said that the movement along a previously hidden fault caused the Bohol quake. The fault that Aurelio was discussing is the same fault that Phivolcs geologist Dr. Toto Bacolcol found a few days back.

“It’s better to call it an undiscovered fault. Parang something that has already existed but nobody discovered it and though it has been discovered, ang impression ng tao is bago, pero sa totoo lang, walang bago...

Thanks or no thanks to the earthquake, alam na natin na mayroon palang fault sa ilalim ng Bohol,” said Aurelio.

Dr. Artemio Daag of the Phivolcs Geology division said, “Mayroon na sila ngayong mga around one kilometer then sinusundan pa nila iyan. Nilalakad ta-
