Worlds strongest typhoon

hits Tacloban, Ormoc hard

SEE YOLANDA P. 4 SEE RELIEF P. 4

A photo from news.discovery.com shows a satellite picture of Typhoon Yolanda, practically covering the whole of

the Philippines. Its eye, packed with the strongest of center winds, passed through Dulag, Tacloban then to Ormoc,

leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Yolanda, a CNN news reportedly said, could have been a Category 6 typhoon

if such category existed.

Ormoc council authorizes mayor to access

P 130-million calamity funds for relief efforts

A survivor quoted in a na-tional newspaper described thegiant storm swell as high as acoconut. Energy Secretary CarlosJericho Petilla, who was in OrmocCity on Saturday, November 9, il-lustrated it to city ofcials graphi-cally for them to get an idea ofhow it was. He said that the waveswere so tall that it engulfed theMacDonalds in Tacloban City andat least three boats were beachedsome 100 meters inland.

Present were Ormoc ViceMayor Leo Carmelo J. Locsin andthe council, who had just nishedtheir emergency session autho-rizing Mayor Edward Codillato access the citys P 130-millioncalamity funds. The mayor wasnot around.

Petilla said the water reached300 meters inland, aside from thewind attening almost everythingon its way.

He said Ormoc was luckier.If you think you had it bad, thinkagain. Tacloban is worst, he said,adding that they were just start-ing to pick up the bodies of deadpeople. In Palo, Leyte, he added,some 100 people were alreadyfound dead, including the bodiesof three barangay chairmen.

Ormoc City, in comparison,only recorded 21 typhoon-related

ORMOC CITY In what is now believed to be the worlds strongesttyphoon ever recorded in history, Category 5 Typhoon Yolanda (In-ternational name: Haiyan) barreled through Eastern Visayas withsustained winds of almost 300 kilometer per hour on its strongestgusts on Friday, November 8, in the morning.

Some 10,000 people are now believed to have died in TaclobanCity and neighboring coastal towns of Palo, Tanauan, Tolosa andDulag, where it made landfall, causing storm surges as high as7-meters or 21 feet.

deaths as of that day.Despite all the preparation

done to prevent loss of lives dur-ing Yolandas wake, the typhoonwas just huge, he said.

Petilla, who said he practi-cally scoured the whole provincein an aerial survey, described thedifferent towns as having beenattened.

Rehabilitation will takea long time

Rehabilitation, he added,would take a long time. Powerlines, he said, are so badly dam-aged that he estimates the regionwill only have power restored byJanuary 2014.

Not only were the powerlines damaged, it was furtherlearned, but the power plantsat the mountains of Tongonan.Because the bulk of power in theVisayas comes from these plants,he said, the rest of Visayas is suf-fering. Cebu is now on rotarionalbrownouts, just to share powerper day.

In Isabel, Leyte, PASAR, thecountrys only copper smeltingplant, is also badly damaged.Even if it is repaired soon, itsoperations cannot be restoredimmediately unless power lines

ORMOC CITY To hasten reliefaid and repair works, the citycouncil here led by Vice MayorLeo Carmelo Locsin Jr. convenedan emergency session in the af-ternoon of Saturday, November9, to authorize Mayor EdwardCodilla access to P 100-million intrust funds from savings of pre-vious calamity fund allocationsand an additional P 30-million

for this year.The session was held at the

lobby of the City Hall, which wasalso badly battered by Yolanda.In attendance were VM Locsinand councilors Mario Rodriguez,Ruben Capahi, Bennet Pongos Jr.,Antonio Codilla, Vincent Rama,Gerardo Penserga and MarinaPlacido. SP secretary Joel Duerowas around to take the minutes

of the session as stenographersrequested to attend did not come.

The fund is intended for therelief and rehabilitation of victimsof Typhoon Yolanda. The damagewrecked by the supertyphoonwas citywide, and no barangaywas spared. As of this report, thefate of some barangays were not

PHIL. PRESSINSTITUTE

Incommunicado

The Freddie Aguilarfuror

FREDDIE AGUILAR is practically a by-

word in the whole Philippine archipelago.

He rose to stardom with his rendition of the

song, Anak, which was a top seller back

in the late 60s, exported to the neighbor-

ing countries and even translated to differ-

ent languages:. It can be said that the song

made him. It hugged the charts for a long

time and made him open other businesses. He

was in an aura of huge success. It can even

be said that he was on easy street many times

over. He ventured to different busineses.

At one time, he opened a watering hole in

Quezon City(?).

There is however this matter which could beso ticklish that it is open for consideration as to

its propriety. An item appeared in a newspaper

and even in the teevee that he is in love (?)

with a girl who is so very young. There seems to

be a backlash as to good taste. He admits to be

in love with a girl who is only 16 years old. He

is now 60 years old himself. In other words, he

was 44 yers old when the girl was born. Heaven

forbid! If this is true, he can be considered as

a cradle snatcher.I must be dreaming things.

How does one fall in love? Culling from

my not-so-distant past when I thought I was

some sort of a Lothario. Can we safely say that

he cannot sleep nights? Can we say that he is

beside himself every hour of the day and night

in which the picture of the girl is always seen in

any place: the park, the school, the market place,

the library, the church while hearing mass, thepiers, in text books while studying and for

which one cannot study well? No appetite to

eat, dreaming during the day and somehow in

a daze? Pimples appearing on the face because

of lack of sleep? Your grades going down and

the teacher nds you out of touch with the les -

son? This kind of a behaviour can only come

from the young the young at heart - because

it is his rst time? But for such an old man as

Freddy falling in love, he is a candidate for the

long chair to be looked over by a Psychiatrist.

That the parents of the girl are in favor of a

match is beside the point. Any parent will gladly

give the hand of their daughter in marriage be-

cause of a free meal ticket; more so when the

free meal ticket is also good for them. So many

young people marrying today end up broken

because of no clear job placement.It can never be enough that the parents are

in favor. Freddy is now a public gure. The

young ones always emulate their elders. What

kind of a message will this union impart? Bad

taste! Vulgar! Odious!

Somebody even proposed to change the title

of his song to Apo instead of Anak. Ugh! In

the interest of propriety and good morals, some-

thing must be done to stop this bad example to

the legions of those who are truly in love and

not so very old. All Freddy can rightfully do

under these circumstances is to admonish the

kid to look for someone her age. No amounof words can convince this corner that he is in

love with the girl. He is hallucinating! He is

probably in his second childhood.

Parental consent is never enough take the

case of the pedophiles who tug along a bevy of

young girls for a picture session and then pass

it on in the internet for the consump-tion of

of other dirty old men. How many of these

foreigner pedophiles were promptly deported?

Parents who allow their kids to be used for FAO

(for adults only) shows must be also incarcer-

ated. The future of these are already ruined.

They eventually end up in the esh market.

A case study was made about how prostitu-

tion started. This is one reason, especially when

the reason is poverty. The practice of parents

consenting to allow their kids to be photo-

graphed and paraded before the camera datesback to the propensity of foreign pedophiles to

come here in the Philippines. These parents are

lionized by these pedohiles and given plenty

of perks.

For Freddy to say that he is in love with this

young kid is all balooney. Can we say that he

wants to gauge the reaction of the public and

boost his sagging image? And if so, maybe

there will be a renewal of the old clamor for

his song? He is forgetting that the song this

time is not Anak but Apo. Why does he

not compose another entirely new song? If he

is a good composer, he can always compose

another song. Joe Mari Chan has a couple of

songs composed by him. Certainly Freddy can

do the same.

One thing is sure: it is in the extremest of bad

taste for a grandfather to marry again.

WE JUST had a double whammy of a natural

calamityan Intensity 7.2 earthquake and

the now-touted strongest typhoon in history,

Yolanda. Its understandable that we are at

our wits end as to what to get from these

two disasters.

And so many of us fall into all sorts of pre-

dicamentsfear, anxiety, self-pity, depression,

bitterness, etc. The worst part of it is when we

lose our faith in God.

We have to avert all these, because they

really have no basis. They come about pre-

cisely because our understanding of things is not

completed by our faith in God. In short, thesecalamities are special moments of exercising

our faith.

Remember what Christ said quite often,

reproaching those very close to him for their

lack of faith. O you of little faith, why did you

doubt, he told Peter when Peter started disbe-

lieving that he was walking on water. (Mt 14,31)

When the disciples were in a boat tossed

wildly by a strong wind and lashing waves

while Christ was asleep, Christ also reproached

them similarly. O you of little faith, why are

you fearful. (Mt 8,26) Then he calmed the

raging sea.

We are human, and we tend to see things

solely from the point of view of what our senses

only perceive, what our feelings tell us, what

our limited understanding of things show us. We

need to go beyond these levels and categories,and learn to think, feel and behave according

to what our faith tells us.

And what does our faith tell us? It tells us

that God never leaves us. He is always at the

very core of our being, and of things in general,

taken individually or collectively, or in whatever

consideration we see and take them.

And to be sure, his presence in us and in ev-

erything else is not just passive, but very active,

full of wisdom, love, mercy and omnipotence

even as he allows us and the whole world of cre-

ation to act and behave according to their nature

taken in both their positive and negative sides,

in their powers as well as in their limitations.

We are in Gods hands always. Nothing hap-

pens without him in the middle of things and

events. Even when we commit mistakes or when

nature suffers its limitations, God continues tobe around, drawing things to himself.

This is the truth of faith we have to relish,

revisiting it often in our meditations so that it

may sink deep in our consciousness and give

shape and direction to our attitudes, thoughts,

desires, words and deeds.

This is the truth that will save us from being

victimized by our own imperfect understanding

of things or by the mere play of our emotions

and other natural conditions that cannot take on

the whole of the rich reality that is meant for us.

It might be good to review what the Cat-

echism says about divine providence.

Point No. 55 says, What is divine provi-

dence? Divine providence consists in the dis-

positions with which God leads his creatures

toward their ultimate end. God is the sovereign

Master of his own plan. To carry it out, how-

ITS SUNDAY morning as I am writing this.Its been two days since Yolanda hit us withits Category 5 winds. Basically we are ne.Except for a few wet clothes and a fence ofDr. Adelaida Puray-Pensergas threateningto fall over our kitchen window, we sur-vived the typhoon unscathed.

Our neighbors were not so lucky. Most oftheir homes were blown to pieces but with theresilience of the Filipino spirit, have startedrebuilding their homes. They now haveerected the semblance of their old homes,but I wonder how they fared with the heavyrain this early morning. But if Yoly did notbreak them last Friday, a downpour of coldwater is peanuts.

Last night, we sat at our now unroofed

deck till midnight, enjoying the canopy ofthe stars and looking at the young peoplegathered around a bonre of used tires andleaves. They were merry-making, celebratingthe gift of life in their own way.

I was having mixed feelings though. Iwas worried about my daughter at PASARin Isabel, Leyte and her family.

Except for a faint Smart signal that Icould get at our roof deck, Ormoc was incom-municado to the rest of the world. The newsof larger scope came from Energy SecretaryCarlos Jericho Petilla who came via chopperhours earlier. His news was ominous. If wethink we had it bad in Ormoc, think twice.

Tacloban, he said, had it harder. If to il-lustrate, he said the storm surges there (whichwas expected in Ormoc to reach 5 meters andthankfully did not reach us) reached 7 meters.Thats 21 feet and the height of a two story

building. To illustrate, he said Macdonaldswas under water and there is now a shipparked near the Gaisano Shopping Center.Seawater reached 300 meters inland.

I can just imagine the horror of it all,having survived the 1991 ashood. None-theless, we also have to cope here in Ormoc.I have been going everyday to the City Hallbut is getting a feeling that the immensity ofwhat happened to us have yet failed to sinkin. The concentration is concern for peoplein the evacuation centers, not realizing thatthere are people who preferred to stay in theirown homes but are now running out of food.

Honestly, we were prepared for some-thing like a three-day inconvenience. As I amwriting this, my two daughters are ghtingtheir way to line up at whatever store they seeis open, hoping to buy a few canned goods,candles and a few more necessities. We just

have about 15 cups of rice, and that is goodfor ve more meals. I know many people arein the same boat as we are. We may have notleft for the evacuation centers but we are alsorunning out of food. The relief effort must beequitable. There should be no demarcationlines whether one is poor or well-off. Naturalcalamities are the great equalizers.

Last night, I got a call from Congress-woman Lucy Torres-Gomez. She is doing herbest to generate relief donations for Ormocand the 4th district. Not only Ormoc is badlyhit. All the towns of the 4th district was, andthe rest of Leyte for that matter.

blare, Wait. Isnt that the pirated version of

the winning carol at the 1933 Cebu Christ-

mas contest? Christmas is still 43 days away.

Most homes havent dusted off star lanterns

or Nativity belens.

But a different calendar kicks in here early

September. Indigents camp overnight on card-

board mats along city sidewalks. They appear

like clockwork, writes Sun Stars Publio Brio-

nes III. Their temporary living room/ dining

room/ bedroom/ kitchen (has) a view to boot.

Their scrawny kids it from jeepneys to

buses to cars warbling off-key carols, They bang

attened bottle caps. The tambourine brigade

is again cadging for a few coins. Most are grimy

school dropouts. Penury forces 33 out of every

100 to quit before reaching Grade 6.

About 6 percent of 12.6 million children

today are out of school. Dont be conned by that

sliver. They make up majority among the poor.

Wheels of inter-generational poverty (turn)

against them, Unicef notes. Hunger locks your

street caroler into a life sentence of poverty.

More will surface in the run-up to Christ-

mas. Theyll blend into the woodwork, spurned

by some, unnoticed by most. Do tinsel and

partying keep us from reading, in these canto

choirs, signs of the times?

If we open our shut-up hearts freely, well

discover theyre hard as int, Jonathan Pow-

ers wrote in Scrooge Is Here. No steel ever

struck (from them) generous re. They remain

secret, self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.

Christmas 2013 comes, as it did two mil-

lennia ago, to a pork-giddy officialdom.

Inquirers unrelenting investigative reports

have shown ve senators and 23 representa-

tives implicated in the pork barrel scam. These

included: Bong Revilla (P1.01 billion), Juan

Ponce Enrile ( P641 million ), Jinggoy Estrada

( P585 million), Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. ( P100

million) and Gregorio Honasan (P14 million )

The Commission on Audit put its foot down

in Notices of Disallowance for over P6 bil-

lion dissipated in pork slabs. Without raising

her voice. COA chair Grace Pulido-Tan told a

stunned Senator Estrada : Return the money

Suddenly, everyone is getting a refresher

course in the forgotten no, ignored -- decree

of restitution. Remember the tax collector Zac-

chaeus? He became the butt of jokes because

the Master lunched with him. Zacchaeus stood,

and said unto the Lord. Behold, Lord, the half

of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have

taken anything from any man by false accusa-

tion, I restore him fourfold, Luke writes.

Restitution is putting right what is unjust.

This is not new. Scholars remind us that Moses

decreed laws of reparation. That rule held down

through the years. All COAs Grace Tan-Pulido

did is to begin enforcing this swept-under-the-

rug ignored law. Those Notices of Disal-

lowance reinforce the no-nonsense probe by

Omsbudsman Conchita Carpio Morales.

A million more Filipino households went

hungry in the 2nd quarter of this year, Social

Weather Stations states thats up from the

March surveys 3.9 million families. The 5th,

6th and 7th National Nutrition Surveys repeated

the stark story of chronic hunger savaging, with

little let-up, mothers and kids.

All children have the right to live, says the

2010 report: Winning the Numbers, Losing the

War. But many start dying after they are born.

The rise in number of Filipinos who ex-

perience hunger is not due to a surge in rates,

National Statistical Coordination Board Secre-

tary-General Jose Ramon Albert said. Pin that

on population growth. Sure. But dont bother

telling Jinggoy, Johnny & Co. Bongbong keeps

mumbling the mantra of self absolution.

Tell Naty instead. She is a 53-year-old beg-

gar who looks a haggard 80. What matters is

even leftover food, she shrugs. Alms cadged

from shoppers and churchgoers tide Naty and

her grandkids over to the next day. Walang tu-

tong sa taong nagugutom. There is no burnt

rice to a hungry person.

In the dumps where ill-fed squatters huddle,

tuberculosis spreads like wildre. TB incidence

here is 275 for every 100,000 people. (Its 137

for Thais.) Handouts couldnt buy for Naty the

anti-TB medicine she needed.

Percentages mean little to street carolers.

Where is the next meal coming from?, they ask.

Hunger triggers a lethal cycle. Chronically mal-

nourished mothers give birth to stunted children

who often die early.

More infants are orphaned here today than

in 2006. And one out of every four pregnant

women are nutritionally at risk, says the 2013

study by the Institute of Child Health Develop-

ment. Worse, there has been no change in the

past 15 years. On average, 11 mothers die

daily during childbirth. Most of those deaths

were preventable. .

Indeed, theres need to curb the leakages: the

P130-billion Malampaya Fund; P12.5-billion

motor vehicle users charge; the Pagcor Special

Fund and the PCSO Charity Fund. Beyond that

is a need to back the Ombudsman in prosecut-

ing those charged. Justice is the bedrock for

structural reforms.

Christmas is the only time I know of when

men and women seem, by one consent, to open

their shut-up hearts freely, Charles Dickens

wrote in 1843. He added: The hungry are not

another race of creatures, bound on other

journeys... We all are fellow passengers to the

grave.

Crammed into a stable, the rst Nativity

crib resembles those carton mats on sidewalks

of city streets 43 days before Christmas.

IN MANY CASES, your doctor would pre-

scribe certain medicines for your infection

with the instruction that if symptoms persist

to come back for a different set of medication.

It boils down to a hit-and-miss treatment

that is not really entirely your doctors fault.

Truth of the matter is, because of lack of in-

formation especially in the molecular level,

medication is largely speculative especially

against cancer. But probably not for long.

Although containing the same types of

nucleic acids, every individual has genes unique

to that specic organism just like the disease

microbes that it succumbs to. Is it possible to

capitalize on these similarities and differences

to come up with a cure for an ailment that is

person-specic?

To answer the question, scientists fully se-

quenced the genes of both the cancer cells and

healthy cells for comparison and at the same

time analyzed the RNA for clues to what the

genes were doing.

Researchers found a normal gene that was

producing huge amounts of a protein that ap-

peared to be speeding up the cancers growth.

And they also got a promising new drug that

might shut down the malfunctioning gene.

Using that drug, the cancer is in remission.

While no one can say that the patient is cured,

the treatment is a new approach to stopping

cancer. What are important, medical researchers

say, are the genes that drive a cancer, not the

tissue or organ (liver or brain, bone marrow,

blood or colon) where the cancer originates.

They likewise discovered that one womans

breast cancer may have different genetic drivers

from another womans and, in fact, may have

more in common with prostate cancer in a man

or another patients lung cancer.

Under this new approach, researchers expect

that treatment will be tailored to an individual

tumors mutations, with drugs, eventually, that

hit several key aberrant genes at once. The

cocktails of medicine would be analogous to

H.I.V. treatment, which uses several different

drugs at once to strike the virus in a number of

critical areas.

With a sharp drop in the costs of sequencing

and an upsurge of research on genes, medical

experts expect that genetic analyses of cancers

will become routine. Just as pathologists do

blood cultures to decide which antibiotics will

stop a patients bacterial infection, so will ge-

nome sequencing determine which drugs might

stop a cancer.

Until you know what is directing a patients

cancer, you really dont have any chance of get-

ting it right. Large drug companies and small

biotech labs are now testing drugs that attack a

gene rather than a tumor type.

Leading cancer researchers are starting com-

panies to nd genes that might be causing an

individuals cancer to grow, to analyze genetic

data and to nd and test new drugs directed

against these genetic targets.

It is expected that eventually the whole

genome sequencing to help cancer patients

identify treatments could be available to every-

one for a reasonable cost. As starters, the whole

genome sequencing can perhaps be offered to

patients with a suspected hereditary disorder

in hopes of identifying mutations that might

be causing the disease. Even Angelina Jolie has

already beneted from the emerging technology

and more could follow her.

Luke 21: 5 - 19

And as some spoke of the temple, howit was adorned with noble stones and offer-ings, he said, As for these things which yousee, the days will come when there shall notbe left here one stone upon another that willnot be thrown down.

And they asked him, Teacher, whenwill this be, and what will be the sign whenthis is about to take place? And he said,Take heed that you are not led astray; formany will come in my name, saying, `I amhe! and, `The time is at hand! Do not goafter them. And when you hear of wars andtumults, do not be terried; for this must rst

take place, but the end will not be at once.Then he said to them, Nation will rise

against nation, and kingdom against king-dom; there will be great earthquakes, andin various places famines and pestilences;and there will be terrors and great signsfrom heaven. But before all this they willlay their hands on you and persecute you,

delivering you up to the synagogues andprisons, and you will be brought beforekings and governors for my names sake.This will be a time for you to bear testimony.Settle it therefore in your minds, not tomeditate beforehand how to answer; for Iwill give you a mouth and wisdom, whichnone of your adversaries will be able towithstand or contradict. You will be deliv-ered up even by parents and brothers andkinsmen and friends, and some of you theywill put to death; you will be hated by allfor my names sake.

ever, he also makes use of the cooperation of

his creatures. For God grants his creatures the

dignity of acting on their own and of being

causes for each other.

Then on the question of evil, Point No. 58

says, Why does God permit evil? Faith gives

us the certainty that God would not permit evil

if he did not cause a good to come from that

very evil. This was realized in a wondrous wayby God in the death and resurrection of Christ.

In fact, from the greatest of all moral evils (the

murder of his Son) he has brought forth the

greatest of all goods (the glorication of Christ

and our redemption.)

These doctrines of our faith may be a nose-

only in the beginning. We just have to wade

through them and familiarize ourselves with

them, just like anything that is precious but

arduous in our life. In the end, they will become

second nature to us, a working principle in our

thinking and action.

On a personal note, I would venture to say

that these calamities we are having are mere

expressions of the natural course of nature that

has its limitations. God allows them to happen,

among many other reasons, to prepare us for our

own death and the end of time that will surely

come, and our own meeting with God in the Last

Judgment. Email: [email protected]

even known yet as roadremained impassable.

Except for those man-ning the rescue team, whowere on stand by duringthe typhoon, very few citypersonnel reported presum-

ably because they were alsotaking care of their ownhomes. Duero said he wasgoing about repairing theirhouse to make a temporaryshelter and had to hastilydress up just to report forthe session.

21 dead in OrmocMeanwhile, as of that

day (Friday), 17 peoplewere reported to have diedfrom various injuries in thewake of the typhoon. Dr.Nelita Navales, however,said she could only conrmfour of the deaths as she hadalready signed their death

certicates. The number hassince risen to 21 on Sunday(November 10).

City councilor GodieEbcas, committee chair onpolice and public safety andwho headed the disastercommand center at the CityHall, said that 7,000 peoplewere housed in designatedevacuation centers aroundthe city.

However, the food they

had was slowly runningout. As of Saturday after-noon, they only had foodgood for 3,600 people buthopes to source more sup-plies soon.

Communication lines,

which was already downas early as 6:00 AM of No-vember 8, the day of thetyphoon, were partiallyrestored by November 9.Smart started having a faintsignal over the city by 10:00AM of November 8, Friday,but can only be accessed onhigh grounds or at the thirdoors of tall buildings.

With no power, the ra-dio communications equip-ment cant be used either, hesaid. It was also learned thatthe citys generator use isbeing prioritized for use atthe city health, to preservethe integrity of the vaccines

it has in stock.Ebcas said they are re-

questing Cebu or nearbyLGUs to send communi-cation gear that would notneed power

Ebcas added that evenif he had to spend a harrow-ing ordeal away from hisfamily because he had tostay at the City Hall, he ad-mired the dedication of Vice

Mayor Locsin who arrivedback to the City Hall assoon after Yolandas wrathwaned. The vice-mayor ar-rived on a bicycle.

Both the vice mayorsand Ebcas house are badly

damaged but Ebcas said itwas the call of duty. Hiswife, city architect MaribethEbcas fended for the fam-ily at their house, while hewas at the City Hall. Arch.Ebcas, unfortunately suf-fered a minor head woundafter the ceiling in theirbathroom, where she tookthe children to hide fromYolanda, collapsed.

Vice Mayor Locsin saidhe would have wanted tobrave Yolanda to be at theCity Hall while it was rag-ing but he could not get outof his house already.

Ebcas added that the

mayor has ordered the citygeneral services office toprioritize the clearing ofroads leading to evacua-tion centers, hospitals andthe various water pumpingcenters of the city.

Benedicto Lambonaoof the city mayors officesaid that water service headEngr. Gerry Germano saidthat the citys main watersource at Sitio Ahag is still40 to 50% functional. Theyare estimating water supplywill be back in three days,except those areas suppliedby power pumps. That iswhy, he said, the mayorwanted to make sure thatamong those cleared im-mediately are roads leadingto the citys water pumpingstations.

The city, as a whole,looks like its a war zone.Very few establishmentsand houses were sparedby Yolandas wrath. Thereare reported lootings at thepublic market. Only a fewstores and groceries areopen, like Mercury Drug,where the line reaches up tooutside the store premises.

Former congresswom-an Vicky Locsin, who had

to ride a single motorcycleto reach the city, said theirfamily-owned Hotel DonFelipe will be shut pendingrepairs. Their generator isuseless also, as it is oatingin a pool of water at the

basement.All hospitals in the city

were not spared. CouncilorMario Rodriguez relayed tocouncilor Ebcas that OSPA-Farmers Medical Centerwill only be serving their in-

patients but will be turningnew cases as they have onlyso much resources to spare.

All three dialysis cen-ters in the city are closed.They need lots of water tooperate and the water sys-tem is down. Jedi, a nurseat the Presinius DialysisCenter, said she is wor-ried for their patients andhopes they seek treatmentelsewhere, until their opera-tions return.

Even as the city grap-ples to take stock of thesituation at hand, residentsare slowly rebuilding theirwrecked homes and lives.

The rivers of Anilao andMalbasag are teeming withmen, women and childrenwashing clothes and tak-ing a bath, while others arealready rebuilding theirshanties.

Basio, a resident atBrgy. Malbasag, said theysought refuge from Yolan-das wrath at the city centralschool but preferred to re-turn to their humble homeafter it subsided. Theresno place like home, he saidin Bisaya, and set about torepair whatever he could torestore some semblance ofnormalcy to his small hut.

Currently (on Sunday),the immediate problem fac-ing residents is food. Stocksof those who prepared wellare running low. No reliefdistribution has been doneas yet.

Rep. Lucy Torres-Go-mez said she has launchedthe relief campaign Re-build Ormoc and Leyte4. The congresswomandoes not have PDAF at herdisposal anymore, follow-ing the freeze order of theSupreme Court, that is whyshe has to rely on privatesources to raise donations.

She said the donationsare quite slow in tricklingin because Ormocs fateand that of Leyte 4 is over-shadowed by the mediacoverage on Tacloban whichsuffered more.

YOLANDA ... from P. 1

are restored.Elmer Cruz of the Na-

tional Grid Power Corpo-ration (NGCP), in texts tomedia, said they are con-tinuing their aerial surveysbut cannot commit whentheir high voltage lineswould be up.

Petilla said compound-ing the problem is the slowresponse of the distribu-tion facilities. He said wecant blame them. Thedestruction is so wide thatpeople are taking care oftheir homes first beforetaking care of their jobs, hepointed out.

Even the clearing ofhighways were not immedi-ately worked on. Nobodyis reporting, he said, be-cause they also have theirdead to take care of.

Tacloban in state ofemergency

Before Petilla left, hecautioned Vice Mayor Loc-sin Jr. and the council thatthe LGU has to be in con-trol. He hinted that in Ta-cloban, people were alreadybreaking in to stores andlooting them.

By afternoon of Sunday,some 60 Army men, on therequest of Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez, were deployed tothe city to prevent the samefrom happening.

Pres. Benigno AquinoIII, who was in Tacloban,has declared the TaclobanCity under a state of emer-gency to prevent furtherlawlessness. A 10:00 PMcurfew has been imposedon both young people andadults.

Hunger stalks victimsTwo days after the ty-

phoon, hunger now stalksthe victims of Yolanda. Herein Ormoc, some 7,000 peo-ple took refuge at the vari-ous designated evacuationcenters.

However, none wasspared. All the citys baran-gay and districts are badly

hit. Food is hard to come by.Stores at the public marketwhich was stripped of itsroots were looted as earlyas Friday afternoon, sourcessaid.

Poultries were invad-ed. Vice Mayor Locsin said

that instead of allowing thelooters to take whateverthey want from his poultry,he appealed to them to berational and share their lootalike. I asked them to takesix chickens each and gave

every family in the baran-gay chickens.

A poultry in Benolhosuffered a similar fate. Bythe time the owner arrived,all his poultry were gone,even his feeds. The next day,a lot of people were sellingdressed chicken in variousparts of the c ity.

As of Sunday, peoplein district barangays werecomplaining they were run-ning low on food. Somenone at all. And they stilldid not get the promisedrelief.

In an interview withMarrietta Legaspi, city so-

cial welfare ofcer, she saidthey are apportioning atleast two kilos of rice perfamily but because of theurgency, they were leavingit to the barangay chairmento do it.

At Brgy. Malbasag, thepromised 2 kilos of ricedid not materialize as ofSunday. Legaspi said thatthe city was able to get 118sacks from the NationalFood Authority warehouseand another 500 sacks fromGabas Rice Mill at P 1,800per sack. She said it wasenough to last the city foranother two days. This,aside from canned sardinesand meat loaf.

She said that much asthey would want to buymore, the suppliers appor-tioned their stocks to otherLGUs also, taking pity ontheir constituents.

Legaspi said we arenot only the ones affectedand of course, they alsowould want to supply theirother clients.

behalf of his Christian congregation, if goods couldpass through Ormoc to Tacloban. I told him franklyif you are going to bring in relief goods, to sparesome for Ormoc and all the towns they pass through.I said every place in the province is badly hit, andeverybody needs relief. Malooy pud mo namo. Sa

amo mga silingan, I told him.I just visited the house of Noy Basio early Sat-urday afternoon (he was the nice old man whodmake coffee for everybody who visited the mayorsofce during Vicky and Dodongs time) and withoutcomplaint, they were just eating pieces of coconut.That, I think, was their dinner.

The silver lining in Yolys visit here in Ormoc isthat we didnt have much casualties. As of today, theofcial count is 21. News just came in that PASARwas taking good care of its employees. Thats acomfort to us who are wondering whats happeningwith daughter number 1 and her family. Already, agroup called Bangon LIDE has successfully ownin relief goods.

Another was the opportunity to bond withthe girls. Without our communication lines beinghampered by so-called communication gadgets,we would talk, and talk and talk. To save on the

candles, we would only leave one lighted after din-ner and gather around it, discussing our experienceand reminiscing old ones.

When were done, we go up our unroofeddeck and bonded more under the moonlight. Lastnight, our conclusion was that Yoly was Janet Lim-Napoless fault. Blame it on Napoles, my daugh-ter May joked. If Janet has not stolen much, thenour country would have good roads, equipment torestore everything immediately and more powerplants. Because of her, we dont have those and now,were stuck in this situation.

Remembering how Miriam asked Napoles ifshe paid Jimmy Policarpio, a media spin-masterto divert attention from the PDAF to the P-NoysDAP, maybe Napoles paid Yoly to wreck havoc onthe countryside to divert attention from her andthe erring congressmen. Could be In the end, in acountry where people love to play the blame game,yah, why dont we blame Yoly on Janet?

rrr

Joking aside and looking back, I can only tellthe girls, Well, you are record holders on yourown. Some of you survived the Great Ormoc Floodof 1991. Now, you survived the biggest storm of theyear, which could be the biggest in a decade. Its therst category 5 storm in the country and we werein the eye of it.

Again, I pay tribute to the indomitable Filipinospirit. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleansa few years ago, people just practically waited fortheir government to rescue them. Some even com-mitted suicide from the depression of seeing thedestruction.

But we Pinoys, after Yoly, just went out ourhomes, picked up whatever we could retrieve andexchanged stories of how we coped up. We evenlaughed at how we hid from Yolys onslaught. Thebayanihan spirit kicked in at once. Courage, cheekand hospitality -- that makes the Pinoy spirit.
