CaSureCo II PreSIDent nIxon

tabora has recently issued a statement that

the power cooperative will no longer honor

re-computed electric bill payments of itsconsumer-members

based on the July

6, 2010 court deci-

sion of Judge Marvel

Clavecilla of RTC Branch 33. Tabora reasoned

that the two institutions undertaking the re-

computations were not legally authorized to

do so, namely the Naga City Government Le-

gal Ofce and the Integrated Bar of the Philip-

pines (IBP) Camarines Sur Chapter. Tabora,

a lawyer, thus pointed out that such re-com-

putations had no legal basis and therefore

Casureco II is not bound to accept them.

While such logic of Tabora seemed unas-

sailable, it is however betrayed by the crucial

factconveniently ignored in this casethat

Casureco II has been legally proscribed by an

RTC court order from charging its consumers

more than the March 2010 power rate which

is P4.8939/kWh. In other words, although it

can be admitted that both the IBP and the City

Legal Ofce are not mandated per se to make

re-computations of consumers power bills,

it must also be acknowledged that Casureco

II management has no legal authority either to

charge consumers more than P4.8939/kWh.The former results from the latter.

If Casureco II wishes for IBP and the City

Legal Ofce to desist from meddling with

the power coops computation of its consum-

ers electric bills, it must also cease defying

the RTC order barring it from illegally charg-

ing consumers higher power rates.

In retrospect, what Taboras statement

calls attention to really is Casureco II man-

agements deance of the law and the laws

lack of teeth in biting it back. Granted thatthe power cooperative has led a motion for

reconsideration on Judge Clavecillas July 6

ruling, it remains bound nonetheless by that

court order until a formal resolution in issued.

And yet, Tabora et al persist in their deance

of that court order, of the law.

They ought to be cited for contempt of

court and appropriately penalized.

WIth ChrIStmaS faSt aPProaChIng, my 10-

year old daughter Caitlyn kept reminding me to put up our

Christmas tree. When I did so nally, she was very excited

helping me. And as we put in the trees

branches and leaves, I also sang her

favorite Christmas song: Santa Claus

Is Coming to Town.

She believes in Santa, and every

year she gets a gift from Santa. But soonperhaps she may get into that situation

Virginia OHanlon found herself in as

an eight year old. Virginia then wrote The Sun: Dear Editor-

-I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is

no Santa Claus. Papa says, If you see it in The Sun, its so.

Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?

Francis P. Church wrote this editorial of The Sun on

September 21, 1897, which reply has become a classic

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have

been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They

do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can

be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All

minds, VIRGINIA, whether they be mens or childrens are

little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect,

an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless

world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable

of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as

certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and

you know that they abound and give t o your life its highest

beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if

there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if

there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no child-like

faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this

existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense

and sight. The eternal light with which

childhood lls the world would be

extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You

might as well not believe in fairies!

You might get your papa to hiremen to watch in all the chimneys on

Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus,

but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what

would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no

sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in

the world are those that neither children nor men can see.

Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course

not, but thats no proof that they are not there. Nobody can

conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and

unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the babys rattle and see what makes

the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen

world which not the strongest man, nor even the united

strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear

apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push

aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty

and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all thisworld there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank GOD! he lives, and he lives

forever. A thousand years from now, VIRGINIA, nay, ten

times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to

make glad t he heart of childhood.

the 8th of DeCember In the Catholic calendar is

Immaculate Conception, a mystery of innite density that

non-Catholics would nd allure in. Years and years ago, in

1941, this tremendous mystery, however, vanished with the

skies lled by what were called then enemy planes.

That day was the beginning of the

Second World War in our country.Hours before that the 7 th of

December to be exact Pearl Harbor in

idyllic Hawaii was bombed. If we are

to believe the narrative of the United

States, the missive from Japan declaring

war came minutes after the U.S. base in

the Pacic was in shambles and ruins.

There was treachery therefore and deceit of the highest evil

order.

I am curious though: what was the world before this

day in 1941. If we are to use the words of the ultimate

conquistador, Napoleon, to him is attributed the quotation:

History is the version of past events that people have

decided to agree upon. If we are to the chronicle of those

days as their remembrance had been agreed upon, then we

come upon a world that was on the verge of both glory and

gore.

The year 1940 saw the rise of Carson McCullers and

her rst novel, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, a story

about outcasts and mists. Richard Wright in his review

states how Miss McCullers picture of loneliness, death,

accident, insanity, fear, mob violence and terror is perhaps

the most desolate that has so far come from the South. The

same critic writes of the style of this new voice and how

she recounts incidents of death and attitudes of stoicism in

sentences whose neutrality makes Hemingways terse prose

seem warm and partisan by comparison.

In that stoic prose, Hemingway would grace the 1940s

with his For Whom the Bell Tolls. In the middle of World

War, in 1943 when thousands were dying from bullets and

lack of food, Hollywood would issue the lm version of

this novel in the tradition of extreme romance starring Gary

Cooper and Ingrid Bergman.

Raymond Chandler releases his Farewell my Lovely

during this year. The other ominous farewell signs werethere already: Germany initiates its conquest of certain

territories, starting with Paris, Denmark and Norway. Italy

declares war and even advances to southern France. Then

Japan joins the Axis.

As the world, without its knowing it, bids to any notion

of peace, somewhere in France, in the cave of Lascaux,

prehistoric paintings are discovered. This cave art a

testimony to the ancient desire of man and woman to control

the universe through the magic of art and

the power of the mind.By 1941, Joe DiMaggio has set

a new record in baseball. Germany

marches on, to Greece and Yugoslavia.

Germany also invades in 1941 the

Soviet Union. Germany tries to reach

Moscow but is repulsed by the violence

of winter.

During this period, the German playwright, Bertolt

Brecht, writes his play Mother Courage and her Children,

a theater piece producing this line War is like love, it

always nds a way. An example of the Epic Theater, the

play is considered to be the greatest anti-war play for the 20 th

century.

Love, unlike in the play, will lose its way during the

year of 1941. Greta Garbo, considered to be the greatest

actress and the most beautiful, retires already by this year,

afraid, according to some source, to grow old before her

fans. Living long after the war has ended, Garbo would be a

recluse and thus retainingin the memory of those who last

saw her before Japan joined the warthe beauty of the face

as it was in the year 1941.

The memory of war persists. Long after it has ended

and even after the 8th of December is observed in peace

again by Catholics as the Feast of Immaculate Conception.

Memory, however, is deceiving. Hemingway of 1941 would

be our prophet with his novel the title of which is taken from

John Donnes Meditation No. 17 written in 1600, years and

years before the infamy of 1941. Completing that line, we

hear this: No man is an island, entire of itself; every man

is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be

washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a

promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of

thine own were: any mans death diminishes me, because I

am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know

for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.In 1941, no one could askfor whom the bell tolls; it

sadly for everyone tolled.

power to change it. Christ gave

the form of the priesthood when

he chose his male Apostles,

he said in the book-interview,

Light of the World: The Pope,

the Church and the Signs of the

Times.

The church has no author-

ity to ordain women. The point

is not that we are saying we dont

want to, but that we cant, he

said. This requires obedience by

Catholics today, he added.

This obedience may be ardu-

ous in todays situation, but it is

important precisely for the church

to show that we are not a regime

based on arbitrary rule. We cannot

do what we want, the pope said.

In the book, the pope re-

sponded to the argument that ordi-

nation was restricted to men only

because priestesses would have

been unthinkable 2,000 years ago.

That is nonsense, since the

world was full of priestesses at the

time, the pope answered. All

religions had their priestesses, and

the astonishing thing was actually

that they were absent from the

community of Jesus Christ.

The pope said there can be no

question of discrimination in the

church because women perform

so many meaningful functions.

Women have so eminent a

signicance that in many re-

spects they shape the image of

the church more than men do,

he said, noting famous religious

gures such as Blessed Teresa of

Calcutta.

Dear Editor,

My appreciation for another budget airline servicing the Manila-Naga

route rapidly turned to disgust after ve cancelled ights in just two

months. The most recent cancellation was last Nov. 25, when I was

ironically ying on a replacement ticket for a previously cancelledight. The reasons given are invariably air craft situation and sunset

limitations in Naga. We were also promised the alternative of a free

8-10 hour overnight road trip (vs. a 50-min ight) aboard a business

class bus but were boarded on a cramped freezing bus without a rest-

room instead. The reason? No available business class bus.

After the rst cancellation last October, I suggested that the ights

be scheduled earlier to eliminate at least the sunset limitation reason.

AirPhil did move the ight half an hour earlier, but that didnt prevent

more cancellations in the following weeks.

If their planes are in such a bad condition, should AirPhil have been

granted a franchise? Is the airline just scrimping because the cost of

busing, hotel accommodations and dinners is still much lower than that

of aviation fuel and contracted pilots? Or could the reason be sabotage

since the staff is currently protesting the PAL management policy of

labor contracting?

Pasensya na po is a nice humble Pinoy expression, and indeed we

have been quite patient, but patience of this kind has just bred abuse.

Government should investigate this airlines operations immediately

and stop it from offering more promo ights only to cancel them

later. AirPhil should compensate the passengers for moral and actual

damages we have suffered from the frequent cancellations. We, the

stranded passengers should shout out our negative experiences on

social networks such as Facebook, and now even seriously consider a

class suit against the airline.

mining disaster struck and caused

havoc to the environment and the

Marinduque folks, and yet, noth-

ing had been resolved.

The prelate lamented cases

led in courts had been there for

as long as people of Marinduque

can remember but the Boac River

had never been restored and the

peoples lives had never been

repaired.

The most important thing

here is environmental justice

that the Diocese of Boac and the

whole Marinduque province are

hoping for, Evangelista said.(But) until now, talks are at

slow pace. The case has already

been led but we are not sure

how many years or decades it will

take.

The bishop called on the

Aquino administration to give

due attention to their problem

so as the long-awaited justice be

satised for the victims.

With the aggressive cam-

paign for mining even in their

province, Evangelista said it

seems that the government has

not learned from the past.

This is what we feel, what

the people feel. Until now, the

government continuously pushes

mining in the country, the 47-

year old prelate said.

Recent Aquino administra-

tions pronouncements that it will

continue to pursue mining as an

economic policy has also alarmed

mining affected communities,

anti-mining activists and advo-

cates.

Attorney Mario Maderazo of

the Philippine Miserior Partner-ship Anti Mining Campaign

said, We dont think that this

direction is the right path towards

the straight path that Aquino has

promised to embarked into.

Mining historically has

only brought devastation, misery,

death, human rights violations,

as what was clearly shown by the

horric experiences in Marin-

duque, he said.

Aquino had vowed to revisit

failed mining projects in the past

and large-scale disasters like

Marinduque, Rapu-Rapu and

Diwalwal so that there be proper

rehabilitation and compensation

for individuals and communi-

ties victimized by these mining

disasters.

We challenge President

Aquino to walk the talk and start

with Marinduque, Maderazo.

Bishop Evangelista assured

the people of Marinduque that the

church remains strong in its com-

mitment in upholding environ-

mental protection.

Our advocacy for the en-vironment will push forth. The

diocese has a clear stand that we

are against mining. The conduct

of forum for the people will go on

until we attain justice, he added.

After the December 1993

incident, Mogpog River has been

considered biologically dead,

which, prior to the disaster, was a

valuable community resource to

nearby communities. Boac River

also suffered the same fate in

1996. (CBCPNews)

For your Editorial design needs, email:

It may be recalled that Bu-

lusan Volcano started spewing

dark ash clouds as high as two

kilometers from its crater during a

series of phreatic eruptions starting

November 6, 2010 that caused the

accumulation of a large volume

of lahar along its slopes reaching

some 450,000 metric tons todate

estimated by Phivolcs resident

volcanologist Ed Laguerta.

Laguerta said that continuous

heavy rains might trigger heavy

lahar ows down slope along the

already heavily silted Cadac-anand Rangas rivers.

Dequito said that Phivolcs of-

cials have also recommended the

dredging of the two rivers and their

tributaries to prevent over owing

when continuous heavy rains hit

the area.

The DPWH regional director

was briefed by Curativo during

his site visit today in Irosin, Juban

and Casuguran to make a rsthand

inspection of the affected areas.

He was also briefed about the

alternate route that can be taken

by motorists in case Bulusan has a

full-blown eruption that may result

The DILG executive also

opined that the length of service

rendered by the barangay ofcials

should be taken into consideration

in giving additional benets to

them.

Likewise, he encouraged lo-

cal ofcials to faithfully discharge

their duties and responsibilities

for the best interest of their re-

He also said local executives

should be given additional author-

and independently manage their

P 250-Million earmarked by the

Arroyo government for the total

rehabilitation of the highway.

Atutubo said that since the

major rehabilitation works in the

highway were started ve years

ago, none of the completed section

has yet been handed-over for roadmaintenance by the DPWH engi-

neering district ofce.

Reportedly, a joint venture of

contractors, the NFH and PER-

SAN construction rms, are still

under contact to maintain nished

sections of the highway until the

entire contract of the rehabilitation

is completed.

Recent inspections by the

DPWH engineers showed that

earlier completed sections along

the Camarines Sur boundary of the

Andaya Highway in Del Gallego

to Tagkawayan, Quezon are now

beginning to deteriorate.

An engineer in the regional

ofce had remarked that the

government had spent millions in

funds for the rehab, but often timesduring reblocking and the asphalt-

overlay works no DPWH engi-

neers were present to check on the

quality of the of the works.

In late 2005, the national

government initially ordered the

release of some half a billion

pesos, most of which was to start

the Andaya Highway repairs; in

2008 another P350-Million were

released to intensify the rehabilita-

tion efforts.

In the last ve years, more

than a billion in fund releases

were made by the former Arroyo

government for the said highway

repairs.

Former DPWH Bicol direc-

tor Orlando Roces reported earlier

that Andaya Highway repairs hadbeen delayed by rains and strong

typhoons that hit Bicol in 2006 and

2007.

For this years Kadunong

According to Salceda, in the

awards night set on December

17, 2010 the BAKAS will also be

launched.

Next year the Gawad Albay

sa Edukasyon will expand to

include Barangay Kasangga sa

Edukasyon which will recognize

barangay in the province with

exemplary education related proj-

ects, the governor said. (PNA)

Tandag Bishop Nereo Odchi-

mar, CBCP President, said the

Catholic hierarchy respects the

government decision to retain

Tuason, as they look forward to

working with her.

We have learned that she is

pro-life and that she was also ac-

tive in the church and we are very

happy with that, Odchimar said.

We hope to work with her

and discuss what areas of coop-

eration and collaboration we can

get involved in, he said.

According to the CBCP head,

the ofce of the ambassador will

wild honey. People came to him

from Jerusalem, from all Judea

and from the whole Jordan valley,

and they were baptized by him in

the Jordan as they confessed their

sins.

When he saw several Phari-

sees and Sadducees coming to

where he baptized, he said to

them, Brood of vipers! Who told

you that you could escape the

punishment that is to come? Let

it be seen that you are serious in

your conversion, and do not think:

We have Abraham for our father. I

tell you that God can raise children

for Abraham from these stones!

The axe is already laid to the rootsof the trees; any tree that does not

produce good fruit will be cut down

and thrown in the re.

I baptize you in water for

a change of heart, but the one

who is coming after me is more

powerful than me; indeed I am not

worthy to carry his sandals. He will

baptize you in the Holy Spirit and

re. He has the winnowing fan in

his hand and he will clear out his

threshing oor. He will gather his

wheat into the barn, but the chaff

he will burn in everlasting re.

REFLECTION

Gospel...

be a vital link between the Philip-

pine Church and the Holy See.

Henrietta de Villa, former

Philippine Ambassador to the

Vatican, also lauded the reap-

pointment of Tuason, saying that

she has been doing a good job.

Im very glad for that

because she (Tuason) is really a

church person, said De Villa, a

consultor to the Pontical Coun-

cil Cor Unum which assists the

pope in carrying out his charity

works.

Tuason was among the politi-

cal ambassadors who took their

oath of ofce before President

Aquino in Malacaang on Thurs-

day.

Asked on some of her priori-

ties, Tuason said will be work-

ing on a possible visit of Pope

Benedict XVI to the Philippines,

as well as Aquinos meeting with

the pontiff. (CBCPNews)

When John saw many

Pharisees and Sadducees com-

ing to him to be baptized, he said

to them, you snakeswho told

you that you could escape from

the punishment God is about to

send?

The mercy of God depends

more on our having a change of

heart than it does on our adopting

a new set of pious rituals.

We are meant to become

goodfrom the inside out, not simply

pious from the outside in.

ANG BAHAY NI ANGELA(Manalang Gloria) i AbDon bAlDe Jr.

ANG uNANG IPINAGtAKA Ko Ay kng

maapbre, a hindi kaa dapa resibidr mna

espas i na ma sila sfa na paghihinaan

habang abala iniisip ng ma-ari kng ang bisia

baha.

Maaaring nabag na ang as ng daing

baha. Per wala namang ibang lgar na maaaring

masabing daing kinalalagan ng kmidr. Dahil

ang kainan, kahi nng araw a palaging hindikalaan sa ksina a banggerahan. A sa palaga

k, ing lmang eskaparae, kahi hindi na anig

maagal nang panahng hindi nakapamasal kahi

Per kng gani nang alaga ang as ng daing

baha, a dda akng maapbre ang mga nakaira

papask sa pinakalb ng baha. Knwari a ma

kmakain, panakaw na slap lamang ang ipinkl

nakia k pa rin na ma mga irang lam sa ibabawng mesa na naaakpan ng plasik pang hindi

langawin.

Pagpask namin sa salas a smalbng

ang liwanag na nanggagaling sa labas, bagama

isang kawing lamang ng binana ang nakabkas.

tila malwang na liwasan ang pinakapsd ng

kabahaan. Ma malaking pinan sa kanan, na

palaga k a silid-lgan ng ma-ari a dalawang

pinan sa kaliwa, na maaaring silid-lgan ng

mga anak. Ww! sabi k na naman sa sarili, sa

wakas napask k rin ang pinakapsd ng baha

ni Angela. Alin kaa di ang kaniang silid?

Ang kaagad hmaak ng pansin k a

ang aas ng mga pinan a ng mga balangkasni na maab sa kisame. Sada aang ang

malalaking a a maaaas din ang pinapaskang

pinan! Bag na ang kah ng pin, per ang

balangkas a in pa ring rihinal na gawa sa

hindi pangkaraniwang kah na maiagang

nililk sa esilng barqe, na pplar sa Erpa

salisihang ini a lamig ng panahn, ang kah a

maaaring bmingkng, pminad pmilipi a

hindi na lmapa sa hamba. Nang lapian k ang

pinaka-enrada ng salas a napamlaga ak nang

makiang kahi karam pinakamanipis mang

pin a balangkas. Eksak pa rin ang

pagkakalapa pagkaraan ng ilan, sandaang an?

Hindi k naiwasang haplsin ang napakaiba na

kah na ang kla a kamangging malalim.

Ginalaw k ang isang kawing a pinagmasdan ang

nakaagng lakas na pmapasan sa mabiga na

pin: ang mga bisagra. Napakaigi ng pagkakalapa

ng masisinsing bisagra. Anig ang mga i,

nag-pisa nang magkla-kalawang, israng

parpar a malalaki ang nakakapi na rnil.

Walang baka kahi saan na nagpapahiwaig

na ang mga bisagra a nagalaw na nailipa.

Makailang-li kng ibinkas a isinara ang

kawing ngni wala akng narinig kahi kaning

langingi ng bakal sa bakal. I ang pana sa

nangangalawang na sa kaandaan a pal pa

maiak kng maihahana k sa kanila si Angela.

Ang smnd na mawag ng aking pansin

a ang sahig na kaninang nasa silng pa ak a

nahlaan k nang hindi mga pangkaraniwang

kah ang ginami. Per ngang nari na kamisa iaas a kagla-gla hindi lamang ang kapal

karpiner pang iaking panghabang panahn

ang pagkakalapa ni sa sahig. Sa salas na i nag-

mpisang maglakad si Angela. Malamang a di

nang lmaki na a maaaring ampk sia sa mgaerliang ginanap di. Magaling daw mgg

gabing malamlam ang ilaw ng mga lampara a ang

halmigmig ng panahn a lmilikha ng manipis

a mgg sia sa isang pian de cla habang

ang mga hmahangang panahin a ahimik na

nakikinig, nangangarap ng kanikaniang parais.

Ang prblema hindi k maipwes ang

mga bagng gawa, bagama ma areng pili

ginagaa ang maaaring isra ng mga daing

dalawang babaeng naka bar saang s nng

Nn kami naghanap ng rera ni Angela.

Nagmamadaling nag-s sa isang a si Miser

Hindi k rin makia kng saang panig

Nng miik-ik ak sa paligid ng salas

Leadership is a common trait viewed by the people in dif-

ferent ways. To some, leadership is simply an attitude, which

informs behaviour rather than a set of discreet skills or quali-ties. To others it is not just a role but also a function, not just

a right but a responsibility. To ordinary person, leadership is

something that implies authority.

What are the outstanding traits or qualities that a leader

should possess to manage the school effectively? The good

school leader/.manager looks up to the Supreme Being as his

source of guidance. He knows that from Sacred Authority

comes the power that bonds teachers, pupils and parents in a

common cause and transforms a school from an organization

into a community. He has the knowledge of the goals of educa-

tion and the methods of achieving them. He knows the stages

of a child development as stated in Jean Piagets Cognitive

Development Theory. He has the ability to discern and speak

uently and think logically. He must possess a wholesome

personality; happy disposition, compassionate and sympathetic

for the teachers, pupils, parents and to the community as well.

A good leader is one who radiates light, cheer and sense of

humor. He should manifests a sound emotional tone, soundbody and sound mind, optimistic and alert in attaining the goals

of his school towards quality education. He must be commit-

ted to his job and always ready to face the challenges that may

arise in the school. He manages the school with the ultimate

purpose of cultivating the leadership potential of every member

of the school system-a trait needed to build a healthy nation

and strong-willed and self-reliant people. These characteristics

empower him to attain excellence as far as his managerial skills

are concerned.

the desert of Judea and began to proclaim his mes-

sage, Change your ways, the Kingdom of heaven is

now at hand! It was about him that the prophet Isaiah

had spoken when he said, A voice is shouting in the

desert: prepare a way for the Lord; make his paths

straight.

John had a leather garment around his waist and

wore a cloak of camels hair; his food was locusts and

VatICan, noV. 30, 2010

(CnS) -- In his latest book, Pope

Benedict XVI reafrmed that

the church has no authority

to ordain women as priests and

rejected the idea that the rule was

formed only because the church

originated in a patriarchal society.

The pope said that man

ofcial of the Catholic BishopsConference of the Philippines has

called for a stop on surveys on the

Reproductive Health bill while the

issue is still being debated by the

lawmakers.

Fr. Melvin Castro, executive

secretary of the CBCPs Com-

mission on Family and Life, fears

the surveys are being conductedto inuence the decisions of the

lawmakers.

Castro also expressed concern

that surveys are being conducted

as a mind-conditioning strategy

of those behind the controversial

measure.

We are appealing to them

(surveying rms) not to be used tomindset legislators that majority of

the people is for the bill so that

it will not cause undue inuence to

our legislators, said Castro.

It is our impression now that

they are trying to inuence our

legislators, he furthered.

Castro made the statement on

Wednesday after the result of Pulse

Asias latest survey revealed that

seven out of 10 Filipinos favoring

the RH bill which seeks to promote

contraception.

The poll shows that 69 percent

of Filipinos support the measure,seven percent oppose it, while 24

percent are undecided.

The CBCP ofcial, meantime,

questioned the manner by which

the survey was done by the polling

rm.

The question is: Did the ques-

tions tackle the bills provisions?

Or was it a general question on

whether they support it or not? It

would be good to ask if the people

they surveyed have already read the

bill or not, he said. (CBCPNews)
