Towing & Clamping is long overdue

here was a time when the City Council was frantically crafting and ordinance that would tow and clamp illegally parked vehicles which was the only remedy for constant violators who recklessly park their vehicles along national highways and major city streets at the wrong time.

Since August when it was close to being passed, there was a conflict of this Karissa-authored law since clamping which would entail some fee to the violators might end up being towed if not claimed by the owner, and another fee will be imposed. This double-pay scene is yet to be resolved and the sooner the City Council will make up its mind, the longer those illegally parked epartment of Justice Undersecretary Markk vehicles in the highways will clog our main streets. he administration of Mayor Remollo has apL.

Winning traits in life: the savings culture

e have heard this advice many times before from our parents and well-meaning friends: “It’s not how much you make but how much you save that counts” or the more clichéd “Save for the rainy day.” Yet for many people, especially for the younger generation receiving their hefty pay checks or generous allowances from their parents, this advice usually falls on deaf ears. This column is dedicated to our Millennials in an attempt to encourage a savings culture among the young. Our Millennials are smart, talented, driven, ambitious, empowered, independent and so full of life. But they are also faced with the many facets and challenges of adulating. The various challenges are before them, from love relationships to working with others in an office or business setting to managing their own funds now that they’re independent and living by themselves. One of those to address is how to inculcate in them the culture of saving and how to maximize it. The world is full of seemingly irresistible things people are attracted to. There’s always luxury items to buy, such as top-of-the-line cell phones that get outmoded every so often; branded handbags that cost a fortune; the latest model SUVs, never mind if there’s no more space in the garage. Suddenly, all these become the “necessities” and no longer the luxuries of before. The movie “Shopaholic” captures a hapless working woman who just had to have the latest and most fashionable name-brand dress, scarf, shoes and other fashion items, most of which were way beyond her means. I am sure no one would like to end up like her who had to sell almost everything she bought in slashed-down prices to pay off her credit card. No one would like a life constantly hiding and running away from collectors. Impulse shopping and uncontrolled spending have driven some people to the verge of bankruptcy, pushing their debts so high it’s beyond their means to pay them off. Others use one credit card to pay off another. Still others scrimp and scrape on some basic items so they could splurge on the new “necessities”. And then there’s also the mindset of value-formoney we need to instill. We tend to buy cheaper items in smaller quantities, thinking we could save. But there’s economy in volume. We can also save more when we buy few expensive items but of higher quality which will last longer. Sometimes we splurge on goods which are on sale but we need to really ask ourselves if we really need them. This pertains to food and non-food items. The Philippines Gross Savings Rate is 14.2% in March 2018, compared with 16.0% in the previous quarter, according to CEIC, an organization founded in 1992 by a team of expert economists and analysts that provide data insights for more than 195 economies. This figure is consistent with the results of Dr. Fernando Aldaba, PhD, professor of Economics at the Ateneo de Manila University and senior fellow of Eagle Watch, the school’s macroeconomic and forecasting unit. Dr. Aldaba compared the Philippines Gross Savings Rate with Southeast Asian countries, noting that in 2005, the Philippines’ Gross Domestic Savings as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product was 15.9% compared to Indonesia’s 27.5%; Thailand’s 29.5%; Malaysia’s 44.3% and Singapore’s 49.4%. Evidently, our savings rate even deteriorated from 2005 to 2018. Not only are we a country with a lower propensity to save, we also import a lot because we are dependent on imports even for basic things. When we look at our consumerist attitudes, we wonder what makes people spend rather than save? Is it the powerful and irresistible advertising pitch and marketing strategies of some popular products? Is it the Filipino

“pakitang-tao” attitude still in play to show others that we can afford or do we try to outdo one another in having the most expensive material possessions? Or is it the instant gratification impulse that makes us want something so bad we’d like to have it right now, rather than wait till tomorrow or till we’re ready? The virtue of saving is akin to delayed gratification. We save now so we can build a comfortable future later. Having sufficient savings would make us ready for business opportunities and other investments later which would make our money work for us. It will also give us some security so that even if we lose our jobs or lose in our business enterprise, we will have sufficient reserves to carry us through as we recover, re-build or re-direct our career paths. Further, we can save for big-ticket items like real estate that would appreciate over time or invest in securities, stocks and bonds that would yield far greater returns for us. Finally, attending financial literacy seminars would open up investment products available. It’s not late - from a nation of spenders, we can transform into a nation of savers and investors. It might be a tall order at this point in time but something worth aiming for. People may ask, is there any remaining cash we can set aside as savings from our pay checks with the increasing prices of commodities? It all starts in the battlefield of the mind.

Cops court kids to avoid illegal drugs From page 1 Besides, children cannot be arrested or tried in court when they commit crimes due to the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act that focuses on the child’s rehabilitation and re-integration than imprisonment like ordinary criminals. DSWD MANDATE Attention is called upon the CITY DSWD headed by Carol Ann Alpuerto to assign a social worker at the police station who will accompany minors booked for various offenses and who cannot be detained but admon-

ished and brought back to their parents both in the evening and day time. P/Supt Pineda reported that no DSWD personnel is doing this very crucial mandate under the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Law. This could make the DSWD officials liable before the Ombudsman for dereliction of duty. The Sangguniang Kabataan, Local Youth Development Office and the PNP will continue with its information drive in all barangays of the city to cover as many vulnerable children as possible.

ZD’s TRIVIA NegOr ballots for recount in VP race

By Dems Demecillo ome 1, 284 boxes believed to contain the more than 300, 000 ballots cast for Vice-President on May 2016, will be subject to recount by the Presidential Electoral tribunal as part of the protest of former Senator Bongbong Marcos against VP Leni Robredo. Marcos lost to Robredo by more than 200, 000 votes and his protest alleged irregularities of the votes cast not only in Negros Oriental but also in the two other pilot provinces of Ilo-ilo and Camarines Sur. In Negros Oriental, Robredo garnered 255, 000 votes against Marcos’ 66,000. But the camp of Marcos believes his votes could be higher. It was learned that the recount of the first two provinces are about to end, hence, the Commission on Elections facilitated the transportation of the ballot boxes from the 25 cities and municipalities of Negros Oriental to Manila.

Editorial; Juvenile injustice

he rampant cases of recidivism among minor offenders need the full support and intervention of the Dept of Social Welfare especially in the implementation of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare System Law RA 9344 on taking custody of minor offenders. The big problem rising in Dumaguete is the rampant burglaries committed by minors who continue to abuse the kindness of the law by becoming habitual recidivists. Minors are not arrested when they commit crimes under RA 9344. But the DSWD by law here, is unfortunately not effectively intervening as it is supposed to take custody of minor offenders, admonish them, and return them to their parents. This is not being done effectively. But rather these minors are simply returned to their parents after being processed at the PNP headquarters, and cautioned against further repeat of their violations Chief of police P/Supt Pineda reports that while the police is busy accosting minors for burglaries, especially at night,

the DSWD is wanting in taking over the cases which compounds the problem of disposing the case. DSWD chief Carol Ann Alquero’s office should be efficient in providing support to the police drive against crimes committed by minors. It is the DSWD who takes custody of minors violators of the law, who in turn will admonish these minors and return them to their parents especially at night. PNP chief tells us that DSWD is not doing its part that is why there are increasing cases of recidivism among minor offenders especially in case of burglaries. We suggest humbly that the DSWD assign a personnel for a night shift to be stationed at the PNP from 7pm to 7am in the morning so that minors arrested for crimes in the evening can be disposed of faster without giving the opportunity for critics of the police who might concoct a notion of minors being harassed, manhandled (gikolata) or other wise while in police custody, for the reglamentary period of 36 hours.

VP Robredo

Ex-Sen MARCOS

Marcos alleged there are irregularities and possible cheating of votes considering the very high number of votes garnered by Robredo against him. And with the recent decision to count only those votes that meet the 50% threshold of shading against the earlier decision of the Comelec of just 25%; both camps would likely see different results in the recount than what was previously tallied as the basis of Robredo’s proclamation. Lawyers of both Robredo and Marcos are closely monitoring the transportation and safekeeping of the ballot boxes with the Comelec to ensure their integrity and to speed up the recount process with the 2019 midterm elections looming. Marcos is closely identified with President Rodrigo Duterte while Robredo was the running mate defeated Liberal Party presidential candidate Mar Roxas.

Zephyr Transformative Leadership

The car of the future today Bingo (From page 4) Put on autopilot, the car drives by itself-changing lanes, using satellite maps and can park itself. By a sensor device, the Model S can be summoned to fetch the rider on his location and can pre-cool or pre-heat the car before usage. It will disable itself when the weather ahead is absolutely dangerous for land travel. Model S is armed with WIFI facilities, capturing music features in a classic 12 speakers around the car. It can also individually warm a seat without affecting the rest- for instance, heating only those seats of passengers suffering from colds. A proud owner of one advance model Filipinos in California Ramon and Alice Alino said when on autopilot, “the car can sense when the “driver” is sleepy and not giving it feedback while his hands are on the wheels, so the steering makes some vibrations and then sets an alarm. When ignored because the driver is fast asleep, the car slows down, stops and parks by itself.” TESLA’s Model S can likewise exercise climate control of the car and filters the air of environmental hazards in the car atmosphere. It can be adjusted to ride-height objectives and wheels change from large to medium depending on the terrain. Air suspension devices automatically adjust for rugged terrains and no brakes are needed to be stepped upon for it to decelerate at the desired pace. All that

easy ride packed by a potential kick of 762 horsepower. Many of the mainstream traditional car manufacturers are lurking behind the shadow- or is it the light?- of TESLA and are trying to design their own prototype copycats. But TESLA appears miles ahead of them. The future is just around the corner. The gas -guzzling (20 miles per gallon of gas) pickups will be replaced by an electronically-driven one. The bully big bodied, fuel-emitting bus (king of the roads) will be replaced by small electric buses where there will be no aisles and doors opening for all passengers on any side. All of the above are foreseen to be on the streets by 2020 alongside, electric cargo semi-trucks, shuttle vans, thrash trucks, and even self -driving taxicabs (as in electric UBER). And 2020 is just two years away. Parts of Europe have already taken notice. The genius behind the electric car revolution which will soon be mass-marketed is the maverick thinker entrepreneur Elon Musk who has so many investors in tow, he does not see the need for TESLA to go really public in a major way. A man who never quits and even though somewhat of a control freak, Musk is not primarily driven by money. He has spent his fortune after selling Paypal to help mankind: electric cars to clean the environment, solar energy as a renewable power source and his company Space X out to find ways for man to survive in space when the world writes finis. Science fiction? Not really, It seems the future is happening now. For comment s: email to dejarescobingo@yahoo.com or boholrd@mozcom.com

had the singular opportunity to speak to the student government officers of different public secondary schools in the Division of Dumaguete City last Wednesday.

It does not apply in this case because the amnesty was void from the start,” Parete stressed. On the question whether Trillanes can be arrested even if he is inside the Senate premises, Parete replied in the affirmative provided that a corresponding warrant shall be issued by the courts. He also assured that the amnesty granted to Trillanes’ fellow mutineers is currently being evaluated by the government to determine if they also suffer infirmities that will render the amnesty accorded to them null and void. The DOJ Undersecretary was one of the speakers for the lecture series in line with the 118th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary by the City Government of Dumaguete.

HEALTH IS WEALTH YOUR WELLNESS Older moms are prone Improving work to acute psychosis productivity By Calvin Trent

H DR. ANGEL V. SOMERA Fellow, Philippine Psychiatric Association

ere is a timely reminder and a warning to normal or men tally stable men who unfortunately marry elderly women (more than 35 years of age). A study from Stockholm, Sweden reports that first-time mothers who give birth after the age of 35 are more than twice as likely as younger moms to suffer postpartum psychosis that could involve a danger to the newborn child. “The risk of developing psychosis during the first 90 days (after childbirth) increased with age,” said the study, conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and published by the Public Library of Science medical journal. Postpartum psychosis is defined as a serious mental disorder, involving delusions, hallucinations, severe eating or sleeping disturbances, suicidal tendencies and can even pose a threat to the newborn baby. It demands immediate medical attention including the administration of anti-psychotic drugs and hospitalization.

Women over 35 when they give birth for the first time were 2.4 times more likely to develop postpartum psychosis than those younger than 19, according to the study, which was based on data gathered from all the nearly 750,000 first time mothers who gave birth in Sweden between 1983 and 2000. While some 80 percent of new mothers experience some kind of mental disturbance or light depression, only about in 1,000 women suffer from actual psychosis in the

first months, after giving birth, the study showed. The Karolinska research indicated nearly 50 percent of the cases appeared in women “without prior psychotic hospitalization.” However, most women who suffer from psychosis have prior psychotic histories. The study meanwhile showed that factors including smoking and not living with the baby’s father had no impact on whether a women develop postpartum psychosis.

EVERYDAY HEROES

FOOTSTEPS AND FINGERPRINTS

Suicide

No perfect families

veryone knows it is a mortal sin to commit suicide. Suicide is destroying God’s gift of life not to mention the ultimate selfish act and hurts others more than it hurts you. If shooting yourself in the head and you die immediately is called suicide, what is shooting yourself in the head everyday for ten years and then you die called? Is that not also suicide? The only difference seems to be the time it takes to die. If you accept that in both cases it is wrong; why is doing something over and over you know will eventually kill you, not also slow suicide and a mortal sin? Three of the top four causes of death in the Philippines,( hypertension, stroke, heart disease) could be stopped with a simple diet change. A major contributing factor to hypertension, stroke and heart disease is SALT. Everyday many Filipinos are committing the mortal sin of “slow” suicide by ingesting far more salt than is healthy.. Take a walk in your local supermarket. There is row after row of processed foods high in salt. The Harvard School of Health and Baylor University conducted a study of “precooked dried noodles”(

more commonly called Ramen) and found while these soups are quick and easy to serve they are also “ devoid of nutrients, high in carbohydrates, SALT and fats, low in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals”. Basically they taste good but are a disaster for your general health. Add to that unhealthy diet dried fish and other high salt foods and you trade quick and easy .....for slow and deadly. Avoid slow suicide and check the labels. According to the Institute of Health your diet should contain daily no more than 1,500 mg of salt (about half a teaspoon). Every time you exceed that amount of salt you risk crippling yourself and shortening your life. At to page 9

am now in Chazy, New York, visiting with my brother and his family. I had not planned to visit them this year but when Jun signed us up for the IFYE world conference aboard a cruise from Vancouver to Anchorage, Alaska, we decided to proceed here for a short visit. Jun returned to Manila yesterday as this week is the observance of National Urban Pest Control Week. I will share about our cruise adventures in another column. Families are indeed a blessing. In them we experience a wealth of experiences. We share joys, difficulties, sorrows, challenges, and happiness. There are good days. And there are the not-so-good days. Last July 19 Pope Francis’s speech during a retreat focused on family and forgiveness. I would like to share with you his beautiful thoughts about the family and children. “There is no perfect family. We do not have perfect parents, we are not perfect, we do not marry a perfect person or have perfect children. We have complaints from each other. We disappoint each other. “So there is no healthy marriage or healthy family without the exercise of forgiveness. Forgiveness is vi-

tal to our emotional health and spiritual survival. Without forgiveness the family becomes an arena of conflict and a stronghold of hurt. Without forgiveness, the family becomes ill. “Forgiveness is the asepsis of the soul, the cleansing of the mind and the liberation of the heart. Whoever does not forgive does not have peace in the soul nor communion with God. “Hurt is poison that intoxicates and kills. Keeping heartache in the heart is a self-destructive gesture. It’s autophagy. Those who do not forgive are physically, emotionally and spiritually ill. “Parents are t he children’s source of life. They are there to protect to page 9

nowing that as a human per son we are patterned after Christ, we should aim at making ourselves more and more like him. This should be our constant daily concern. All our other concerns in this life, no matter how important and urgent they may be, should be subordinated to this primordial one. To be sure, this fundamental desire does not undermine our humanity. If anything at all, it will only bring us to our human perfection. We should not be afraid to give priority to this desire, for it can only put all our other plans and ambitions in their proper order. To be truly Christlike would, of course, require that we know Christ through and through. This will certainly ask of us that we, at least, read and meditate on the gospel regularly, for it is where we can find Christ. As St. Jerome famously said:

FR. ROY CIMAGALA Email: roycimagala@gmail.com

“Ignorance of the Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” We have to make it a daily habit to read, study and meditate on the Bible. With our new technologies, this should not be difficult to do. To be truly Christlike would, of course, be an endless affair. We can never say we are definitively Christ-like, since we can never exhaust the richness of Christian life no matter how much to page 9

I carry your burdens every day. Psalm 68:19 WEB

lessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. Selah. I am thankful that our God promises to save us and continually bear our burdens. When we feel the weight of the world on our own shoulders, may this promise encourage us that we are not called to carry the burdens ourselves. May we always be reminded of Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28-30 that says... 28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (WEB) If you are carrying a backpack full of worry and anxiety today, cast every care in that backpack on to God because He really cares about you! (1 Peter 5:7)

The mission of Jesus’ followers he harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send out more workers for his fields.” Matthew 9:37-38 Jesus looked at the crowds following him and referred to them as a field ripe for harvest. Many people are ready to give their lives to Christ if someone would show them how. Jesus commands us to pray that people will respond to this need for workers. Often when we pray for something, God answers our prayers by using us. Be prepared for God to use you to show another person the way to him.

Trust In God’s Timing

MK 9:30-37

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

eloved, God has promised to make all things beautiful in its time. Trust in Him and let Him unfold the pleasant surprises He has prepared for you. He’s the one who sets the stars and planets in their precise orbits. He’s the one who times the tides and the waves. He’s the one who hears every beat of your heart. No detail escapes His care. So trust in His timing. Do not worry about when this will happen or when that will happen. to page 12

Bp. Rooker visits Amlan

ons. Frederick Z. Rooker was Bishop of Jaro in 1903-1907. On May 25, 1904, Bishop Rooker made a pastoral visitation to the capital town of Dumaguete in Negros Oriental. “The people, on the whole,” he observed, “are good, devoted and generous.” Several days after in June 1113, the good Bishop of Jaro made a similar visit to the town of Amlan.

He was teaching his disciples and telling them, ”The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.” But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him. They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, ”What werea you arguing about on the way?” But they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, ”If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, he said to them, ”Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”

Manila-bound NegOr ballots for VP recount BY CHOY GALLARDE

(Hughs)

Over 255,000 ballots from all 25 cities and municipalities of Negros Oriental will be shipped to Manila for the recount of votes cast during the 2016 elections for Vice-President. Former Senator Bongbong Marcos protested the results of the VP race that showed victory of Vice-President Leni Robredo although by a slim margin of over 200,000 votes.

first eliminating salt from your diet will be difficult. The food will taste bland, almost flavorless. Eventually the flavor will return. In fact when your body adjusts to the reduced salt diet, you will find it impossible to eat the old salty foods. Our biggest threat in the Philippines is the “silent killer” hypertension. Out of over two hundred nine nations in the world the little Philippines is second for hypertensive deaths. You often do not even know you are in trouble until it is too late. Besides lowering our salt, what else can we do to prevent these unnecessary deaths? Sadly many of us do not see a doctor until we get sick, so having our blood pressure checked periodically becomes a problem. Dumaguete City, a university rich community, is lucky enough to have several nursing programs. If you know a nursing student you can ask them to periodically check your blood pressure. They get experience and you monitor your health. In the past I have suggested that these university nursing programs could not only enhance their training but perform a vital and possibly life saving service by volunteering to give free blood pressure checks at local malls. Is anybody listening? If the universities are not listening, how about you students. It only takes a table, a few chairs and a couple of hours and you might save a life. SALT is a killer. Save your own life by reducing your salt intake.

effort we exert. We just have to try and try. At least, everyday we should be able to say that we are becoming more and more like Christ in a specific aspect. Definitely, if we want to be truly Christlike, we should be full of goodness and love. We should reach out to everybody, no matter how difficult that would be or how undeserving the others may be of our care and attention. Like Christ, we have to be willing to empty ourselves so as to identify ourselves with everybody. We have to fan

their sons and daughters and not to compete with them. “That is why the family must be a place of life, not of death, a territory of cure and not of illness, a stage of forgiveness and not guilt. Forgiveness brings joy where sorrow has produced sadness, and healing, where sorrow has caused disease.” Visiting my USA family provides me the blessing of touching my roots, of marveling at the babies who have grown up into “personalities” during my absence, and of reviving friendships with extended families. Our family is not perfect, but we are rooted in the same values and connect with each other, whether near or far away. Even though I am here in Chazy for only a short period of time, I am enjoying and treasuring every moment.

into a bursting fire this desire to serve others. Like Christ, we have to assume the attitude of wanting to serve everybody and not to be served. We have to be wary of our tendency to fall easily to a sense of self-importance or conceit. Like Christ, we have to be willing to “wash and kiss the feet” of everybody. Like Christ, we have to love our enemies, and to bear the burden of everybody, willing to replicate in our life the very passion and death of Christ, so that we too can join him in his resurrection. We should be willing to offer mercy to everyone as well as to ask for pardon for our own sins. We also have to understand that our identification with Christ can be achieved sacramentally. Aside from baptism and confirmation, let us see to it that we regularly go to conto page 11

Directly willed abortion, the use of abortifacients, sterilization, and contraception are wrong in themselves. They are wrong not because the Church forbids them; the Church forbids them because they are morally wrong. 4. The Church teaches the need for responsible parenthood. This means, among other things, that couples should bring

The Church advocates Natural Family Planning as the only morally acceptable way of practicing responsible procreation. 6.

fession and receive Christ in the Eucharist. Like Christ, we have to pray constantly, keeping an abiding conversation with our Father God. We have to learn how to pray in all situations and circumstances of our life, be it happy or sad, light or heavy. Like Christ, we have to have a sharp hunger for souls. The apostolic dimension of our life should be considered essential and indispensable. Wherever we are, whatever be our situation, the apostolic con-

cern should always be in our mind and heart. We should always be praying for souls and thinking of how we can help them get back to God. Like Christ, we have to offer everything in our life to God. We have to learn to give up everything for God, to live true detachment from earthly things even as we continue to use them. We have to reach that point that we are willing to offer our life to God, unafraid of death and all the suffering that goes with dying. All these to a heroic degree!

ily Planning methods in pursuit of such a contraceptive mentality. 7. The Church teaches that the decision on the number of children lies solely on the parents. No one can make the decision for them. But the parents are to make their decision responsibly, that is, with a sense of their responsibility to each other, to their children already born, to their children still to be born, to society and to God. 8. Hence, the Church is against any coercion exercised on couples to pressure or force them to limit or in-

crease the number of their children. It is also against any coercion exercised on any other person involved in helping in the regulation of birth. 9. The increased or decrease of population growth does not by itself spell development or underdevelopment. The Church does not forbid the advocacy of the acceleration or decelaration of our population growth, according to circumstances, provided this is achieved within the parameters of freedom of conscience, the responsible decision of couples, and the printo page 12

judgment convicting her is on appeal? Yes. Judge Angeles still enjoys constitutional presumption of innocence. Since her conviction of the crime of child abuse is currently on appeal, the same has not yet attained finality. She still enjoys the constitutional presumption of innocence. It must be remembered that the existence of a presumption indicating the guilt of the accused does not in itself destroy the constitutional presumption of innocence unless the inculpating presumption, together with all the evidence, or the lack of any evidence or explanation, proves the accused’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Until the accused’s guilt is shown in this manner, the presumption of innocence continues. (Re: Conviction of Judge Adoracion G. Angeles, A.M. No. 069545RTC, Jan. 31, 2008)

ciples of sexual and family morality. 10. Because the Church regards artificial contraception as wrong in itself, the Church will object to its dissemination and use. Further, Church personnel and institutions cannot be expected to cooperate with the dissemination and use of contraceptives. 11. The Church acknowledges religious freedom and freedom of conscience. But she has the duty to announce and promote the moral law regarding the regulation of population. In conclusion, “there are no ‘value– free’ methods of family planning. Research scientists, medical personnel, government officials, and welfare agents should reflect seriously on the consequences of their activities, on the assumptions they hold, and on the goals they pursue in family planning” (Submission of the Holy See to the WHO-sponsored International Conference on Ethics and Human Values in Family Planning held in Bangkok in June, 1988).

Trillanes IV as Senator of the Philippines, he is now subjected to possible imprisonment, by issuing Executive Proclamation 572, which nullify the Amnesty

given to Antonio Trillanes IV together with the hundreds of fellow mutineers. But the order for his arrest was later on clarified by Pres. Duterte to apply only to Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and not to other mutineers on the allegation that the Amnesty given by previous President Noynoy Aquino and availed of by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, was null and void ab initio, or void from the beginning. Under the Constitution, “No warrant of arrest can be issued except upon probable cause to be determined personally by the judge upon examination under oath of the complainant and the witnesses he may produce. Thus, President Duterte has no choice but to apply for a warrant of arrest. Reluctantly, Senator Antonio F. Trillanes IV has become a hero because President Duterte, unknowingly, made him one.

Prautch, guilty of the crime of libel, and imposed on him a fine of 500.00 pesos and the cost of the proceedings.

Friendship... (Yuzon)

from page 10

our friend, we can rely on his staying power at work in us. He comes to sing with us when we are on a mountaintop and walks beside us through the valleys. To be continued A British publication once offered a prize for the best definition of a friend. The winning definition read: “A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out” (Bits and Pieces, July, 1991). In the second place, “to be a friend of Jesus means to know what is going on” according to God’s purpose. (15:15). Friendship consists in a frank opening of one’s heart and whole mind to the other, without shyness and secretiveness... We must allow the other to see right in and know us as we really are, sharing with him what we ourselves have learned. (Interpreter’s Bible, Vol. 8, p. 723). This is exactly what Jesus did. “I have called you friends,” Jesus said, “because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father” (v. 15). He did not call the disciples his slaves or servants for in that capacity they would be mere outsiders looking in. But as friends, they are allowed to let in on the secrets of God’s saving plan for the world. Specifically, Jesus told them about the approaching crisis of the cross and his impending departure. “They were not kept in the dark about what is happening and what is going to happen” (Brueggemann, op. cit.). In the third place, to be a friend of Jesus is to keep his love commandment (15:12,17). Now, the idea of love as a commandment sounds a bit strange. To be continued

its will definitely guarantee you a productive day. It is evident that you will stay positive during the rest of the day. Also, your focus will be on completing the day’s activities. But if you start your day in a bad mood, you will not be able to complete any important task. This is because some people try to vent ( place) their anger on somebody or something else. Hence, you may hurt yourself in the process. When somebody always blames another person for problems they are fully or partially responsible for, people tend to avoid them. Start your day in a good mood and this will ensure you are more productive in the first few hours of the day. The mind is usually ready and fresh in the morning. 3) Who does not like the cute face and furry coat of a kitten or a puppy? A study in Japan reveals that looking at the photos or pictures of cute animals can help improve work productivity. Surprisingly, it may help increase your work productivity. 4) Create a daily accomplishments list Many people find it hard to acknowledge their accomplishments. This is because some individuals do not appreciate how much they have achieved. They have negative biases about themselves which lower their productivity. Their brain focuses on the minor mistakes and obstacles which hinder them from noticing their wins. So, to increase your work productivity, you need to recognize your achievements. Create a daily accomplishments list where you will note down your small wins. This will increase motivation and make you feel good, simultaneously increasing your work productivity.

BROTHER’S KEEPER

Trust in God’s... from page 7 Did He not send Jesus to earth at the perfect time to fulfil His promise? If we can trust His timing with regards to our eternal life, why wouldn’t we be able to also trust His timing with our daily lives? So be rooted in His love today. Have faith in His strength and trust in His timing. For God has set eternity in your heart. All of time, from the beginning to the end, exists within you through Jesus Christ. In reality, all that you need has already been given to you. All of the promises of God have already been gifted to you. All you need to do is to believe. Let your heart dwell in the Kingdom of Heaven where all of God’s promises have already been fulfilled. Trust in God’s timing, and you’ll surely see the wonders of God’s hand unfold naturally in your life. Be Greatly Blessed! Prayer: Father, I know that I can be impatient at times. Even though I know that you’ll make everything beautiful in its time, my flesh still tends to worry when I can’t physically see the progress that I expect. But Lord, I know that no matter what the appearances are, the truth is that you’re working behind the scenes on my behalf. Teach me to trust in your timing Lord. Let my heart be still and sensitive to your promptings. For there’s no need to rush, worry, or fear, when I know that you are with me. Guiding me. Protecting me. Loving me. Thank you Lord. May all glory be to you. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, AMEN!

We would like to Invite you to our Services each Sunday at 9 a.m. and again at 4:30 p.m. For Information Ring 09059593638. Every Class of people use the slang word ‘Hell’. They have never looked Into the Bible and seen what hell is really like. Bible Teachers say, ‘Jesus spoke more on Hell than He did not heaven’. I believe one of the greatest definition of hell is being separated from God. God is holy, pure, clean, full of light, kind and loving and to think that A person will be shut off from all this for eternity, it is hard to imagine. Matthew 10:28 “And fear not tem which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him Which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” Matthew 25:46 “And these shall go Away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal” Do you realize a Person that has never turned to the Lord Jesus and had their sins forgiven would be Miserable in heaven? There will be a great separation one day between the those who Have turned from their sins and those who refused to turn and live as they wanted too. Jesus took our place on the Cross and paid for our sins. If we do not turn to the Lord Jesus, then we will have to pay for them. Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death..” Hell be when God cast a person into hell and forever with never a chance to get out. I Have great compassion for these people but people reject God and the despise His Word And Spirit. Hebrews 10:29 “…shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot The Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, An unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace” Man must be careful Because God will not always strive with mankind! Come to Christ today before its too late.

RESOLUTION No. 259 Series of 2018 Authored by: Hon. KARISSA FAYE TOLENTINO-MAXINO Hon. MANUEL R. ARBON Co-Authored by: Hon. MICHAEL M. BANDAL Hon. AGUSTIN MIGUEL A. PERDICES Hon. JOSE VICTOR V. IMBO Hon. ESTANISLAO V. ALVIOLA EXPLANATORY NOTE As experienced these past many years, traffic in Dumaguete City has gotten worse. One of the main reasons for such is the poor and unsustainable implementation of traffic laws, rules, and regulations. Complicating the problem is the apparent lack of discipline among vehicle drivers and pedestrians alike. On the part of the former, the wanton parking of their vehicles on areas not designated for such purpose. On the part of the pedestrians, their preference of crossing streets and highways outside crosswalks or pedestrian lanes. The combinations of these factors contribute to an exasperatingly slow traffic flow and congestion. These result in the delayed transport of people and goods, thereby impacting negatively on the local economy and time management. There is then, a felt need to address once more one key aspect of ensuring the free flow of traffic in Dumaguete City: proper parking and apprehension of illegally parked vehicles. Arthur Fran P. Tolcidas Karissa Faye Tolentino-Maxino Franklin D. Esmeña, Jr. Secretary to the Sanggunian Temporary Presiding Officer Acting City Mayor WHEREFORE, on motion of Councilor Michael M. Bandal, duly seconded by Councilors Alan Gel S. Cordova and Estanislao V. Alviola, the City Council in session assembled — RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, to enact the following: ORDINANCE No. 71 Series of 2018 ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE USE OF WHEEL CLAMPS TO IMMOBILIZE ILLEGALLY PARKED VEHICLES AND THE SUBSEQUENT TOWING THEREOF, DESIGNATION OF LOADING AND UNLOADING AREAS AND IMPOSING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES Be it ordained by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Dumaguete, that: ARTICLE I GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS. – Pursuant to the provisions contained in Republic Act 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991, the City Government of Dumaguete is empowered to regulate the use of streets, alleys, and other public places and improve and maintain the same, regulate the use of parking spaces, as well as designate areas to be occupied by public and private vehicles when not in use. It is the policy of the City of Dumaguete to introduce a regulated parking system in areas as designated by the City, so as to improve and enhance traffic flow and distribute equitably the limited parking spaces available. Pursuant to this policy, there is a need to implement the use of wheel clamping or tire lock system and the subsequent towing of illegally parked vehicles. Wheel clamp or tire lock is a device used to immobilize vehicles that have been issued official parking violation notices. The use of this system is a more efficient way of complying with existing parking rules and regulations and eliminates the worry of vehicle owners because it does away with outright towing and impounding, that could damage the towed vehicles, thereby minimizing complaints from vehicle owners against traffic enforces. It is therefore ordained by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of the City of Dumaguete that an ordinance providing for the use of wheel clamps to immobilize illegally parked vehicle be established. Arthur Fran P. Tolcidas Karissa Faye Tolentino-Maxino Secretary to the Sanggunian Temporary Presiding Officer

Franklin D. Esmeña, Jr. Acting City Mayor

Negros votes could spell d’difference From page 1 cause Negros Oriental count is chosen as among the top three determinants since the Marcos alleged disparity in results in Negros Oriental. COMELEC Records will show that in Negros Oriental, then vice presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos lost heavily to Vice President Leni Robredo who garnered 255,000 votes as against the 66,000 votes of Marcos, the biggest difference in terms of percentage throughout the country. Marcos lost by over 200,000 votes and the biggest difference came from Negros Oriental count. Dumaguete City Election Officer Atty Gildu Agoncillo disclosed that Negros Oriental is among the top three among 20-protested provinces by a losing candidate for vice president in the 2016 elections. Recount of ballot boxes from 17 other provinces will depend on the results of the recount of the pilot provinces. In the event of a dismissal of the complaint, there is no need to proceed with the recount of protested ballot boxes from the 17 provinces, according to Atty. Emil Maranon, legal counsel of vice president Robredo who was in Dumaguete to observe the retrieval operation over the weekend until yesterday. According to Maranon, a recount of the protested ballot boxes in Camarines Sur was completed, ongoing in Iloilo to be followed by a recount of the protested ballot boxes

from Negros Oriental, where Marcos has alleged about widespread cheating and fraud during the 2016 elections. Since 2Go shipping is the official carrier, the 1,284 ballot boxes from Negros Oriental will be loaded as soon the inter-island vessels arrive next week. It will be picked up at the port and will be brought to the Supreme Court warehouse in Ermita, Manila for safeguarding. VP Robredo’s counsel is confident that the results of the recount will match with the results on election day up to the last vote, provided the correct threshold is being used. Maranon noted that results in electoral protests in previous elections in 2010, 2013, and even 2016 would show no discrepancy between the results of the recount and the results on election day because the machine is accurate. When interviewed in Dumaguete yesterday, the legal counsel said discrepancies were noted in Camarines Sur because the Supreme Court applied a different standard. He said the high court should follow the threshold set by the Comelec. VP Robredo’s camp is confident the recount will prove that Negrenses “ay hindi mandaraya because this is what Marcos is trying to say.” Dumaguete City treasurer Cristina Merced was on

hand during the retrieval of the 122 ballot boxes from Dumaguete, even as some minor issues were noted on the conditions of the boxes.Robredo’s camp filed a formal motion before the Supreme Court regarding what happened on the first and second day of the retrieval operation of the ballot boxes in Negros Oriental to be transparent with the

things that transpired during the transport and storage of the ballot boxes.

11. At the height of the turbulence of their living together as husband and wife, the respondent suddenly left the country for Kuwait sometime in July 2001 to work as waitress in a restaurant, and her sudden departure left the petitioner groping in the dark as to what their future may bring; 12. Since then, the respondent has not set her foot again in the Philippines much less in their conjugal dwelling in Manila, nor established any correspondence with the petitioner; 13. The petitioner learned last year through the internet that the respondent is already using a different family name which purportedly belongs to her boyfriend; 14. Up to the present, the petitioner has not seen or even felt the indication that the respondent would rejoin him again in the Philippines; 15. The actuations of the respondent are symptomatic or external manifestations of an utter inability to perform the basic marital obligations, which existed even prior to the marriage; 16. The respondent is suffering from a serious psychological incapacity prior to, during, and even after the marriage, and which appears to be incurable as characterized by her continuing irresponsible behavior manifested as abovedescribed; 17. The couple had not acquired any conjugal and/or common properties which needed to be terminated and/or partitioned as a consequences of this petition; 18. Due to the psychological incapacity of the respondent to comply with the basic marital obligations as a spouse, which existed even prior to, during, and after the marriage, such marital tie must be severed in accordance with the provisions of Article 36 of the Family Code. WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that after trial, a Judgment of Decision be rendered declaring the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent null and void ab initio on the ground of psychological incapacity of the respondent under Article 36 of the Family Code. 02 June 2013, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.

The petitioner first met the respondent in Manila at a restaurant known as “King Long Place”, where they worked together for a year. The petitioner was then a cook of the said restaurant while the respondent was one of the waitresses thereat; 4.

And then the respondent worked in a different restaurant when she shows unsavory character as a wife and mother. On several occasions, the respondent would come home very late at night; 7. The petitioner later found out that the respondent always hanged out with her fellow workers and friends after work for which reason he had never felt the company of a wife in the waking hours of the night; 8. The countless instances, the petitioner begged the respondent to at least spend her free time with their baby child whom they have entrusted to a yaya they barely knew, but the respondent obstinate refused to mend her insensitive attitude leaving him no option but to entrust their child to his younger sister whom lived in Caloocan,; 9. Things turned out more complicated when the petitioner’s sexual advances were met with stern refusal raising his brewing suspicion that the latter was having extramarital affairs; 10. The respondent would also not share in their day to day expenses leaving the petitioner wondering where her income was spent;

“Mandatory fees” now illegal in State U’s & Colleges: Bam

en. Bam Aquino cautioned state universities and colleges (SUCs) from collecting fees from students amid the implementation of the Free College Law. “If there are mandatory fees still being collected by the schools, that is illegal now,” said Sen. Bam during the budget hearing of the Commission on Higher Education. “Mag-ingat sila sa kinokolekta nila kasi nasa batas iyan. If it is a mandatory fee, that should not be charged to the students,” added Sen. Bam, principal sponsor of Republic Act 10931 or the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act. Sen. Bam made the pronouncement after receiving complaints from students and parents about mandatory fees being collected by SUCS despite the implementation of the free college law. “May natatanggap pa rin tayong reklamo ukol sa di makatwirang paniningil na ginagawa ng ilang SUCs. Di na ito dapat ginagawa,” said Sen. Bam, also the vice chairman of the Committee on Educatio

Republic Act 10931 provides free tuition and miscellaneous fees to students in state universities and colleges (SUCs), local universities and colleges (LUCs) and TESDA-run vocational schools. The law also allows students of both public and private college and universities can also apply for scholarship grants and student loans. The measure was languishing in the legislative mill for years be- Sen. Bam Aquino fore it was passed during Sen. Bam’s time as mittee on Education in chairman of the Com- the 17th Congress.
