Soria, in fact, will lead this
Saturday on the muzzling of
tapes to the service rearms
of policemen assigned at the
regional PNP headquarters,
the Camp Ruperto Kangleon
in Palo, Leyte.
Tingzon said that if ever
a police personnel would
be found out to have used
his service rearm during
the New Year reverly, he
could be charged both
a d m i n i s t r a t i v e l y a n d
criminally.Our policemen are
a l r eady aware o f the
consequences if ever he
will re his service rearm
during the celebration. We
believe that they will not
dare use their firearms to
celebrate the New Year,
Tingzon said.
According to him, for
the past years now, no single
member of the PNP from
the region have used their
firearms duringt the New
Year revelry.
TACLOBAN CITY-
Service rearms issued to all
policemen across the region
are to be sealed beginning
Saturday to ensure that these
would not be used during the
New Years eve celebration.
Senior Inspector Brigido
Tingzon, Jr.,spokersperson-
designate of the police and
community relations ofce
of the Philippine National
Police-8, said that the sealing
of service rearms will end
until January 7, 2013.This is part of the
campaign of the PNP that no
service rearms belonging
to policemen would be used
during the New Years Eve
celebration, Tingzon said.
Tingzon said about 6,000
service rearms would be
sealed, representing the
same number of police force
in the region.
He said that even Chief
Superintendent Elmer Soria,
police regional director, is
not exempted to this policy.
Sealing of policemens service rearms starts todayBut Tingzon claried that
while the service rearms
of the policemen would be
muzzled, this would not
mean that they could not
use them.
According to him, if it
is in line of their function
or duty, they could still use
their service rearms.
There is an exception to
this policy. There will be an
investigation if the discharge
(of rearm) is in line of his
duty or not, Tingzon said.
He also urged private
gun holders not to use
the i r f i r ea rms du r ing

GSIS-PhilPost Agreement. GSIS President and General Manager Robert G. Vergara and
Philippine Postal Corporation (PPC) Postmaster General and Chief Executive Ofcer Ma.
Josena M. Dela Cruz shake hands after signing a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to
settle the latters premium arrearages. With this, PPCs 8,121 employees can now le for
a GSIS loan while its retirees can expect adjustments in their pensions corresponding to
the payments. Since 2010, GSIS has already signed 104 MOAs with other governmentagencies to restore their good standing status and employees benets.
On the achievements of the administration for 2012
When the Filipino people gave an overwhelming mandate to President Benigno S. Aquino III in 2010, there were thosewho remained skeptical of the extent of reforms that can be instituted, given the entrenched culture of corruption andmistrust of government.
The many achievements of the Aquino administration in 2012 should put those doubts to rest. At home and around theworld, the Philippines has become recognized as a bastion of stability and good governance. Through hard work, deftdecision-making, and intense political will, the President has laid down the foundations of justice and inclusive growth.Through it all, he continues to clean house, eliminate waste, and put primacy on restoring public trust in our institutions.
Almost a year after calls for all out war against Moro separatists were answered by a rm and sober all out justicestance by the President, the MILF and GRP signed a historic Framework Agreement that sets the stage for a nal, en-during peace in Mindanao. This is among the rst successful dialogues between a government and a Muslim separatistmovement in the modern era, and could set the template on how to peacefully handle such conflicts across the world.
While an atmosphere of peace is now beginning to set over the conflict-ridden south, the entire country is experiencinga newfound sense of justice and fairness. After the President publicly announced judicial reform as among the bedrocksof his agenda, the House of Representatives impeached former Chief Justice Renato Corona over allegations of betray-ing the public trust. He was later on convicted and removed from ofce by an overwhelming majority of Senators. Thisheralded the arrival of a judiciary characterized not by secrecy and patronage, but by integrity and competence. Theappointment of Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno, and later Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, sustained the momentumof reform in the judiciary.
The message is clear: If a Chief Justice can be impeached-- and a former president put under hospital arrest for allegedplunder and electoral sabotage-- then so can anyone; a crime is a crime, regardless of wealth or status in society. Withthis principle in mind, the President signed into law the Anti-Enforced or Involuntary Disappearance Act, the rst of itskind in Asia, which criminalizes the unlawful arrest of civilians and ensures the preservation and protection of every Fili-pinos civil liberties. This law clearly demonstrates the Presidents commitment to human rights. Through these reforms,we are strengthening a system where the law serves the people and works towards their full development. Withoutdoubt, we are moving towards a society where fairness reigns-- fueled by a people empowered by its government.
Nowhere is this empowerment more evident than in the investments that the government has channeled towards educa-tion, health, and poverty alleviation. Agencies such as the Department of Health, the Department of Education, and theDepartment of Social Welfare and Development (which spearheads the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program,) have allexperienced sharp increases in their budget, proving the Presidents resolve to lift our countrymen from the margins ofsociety.
Congress enacted the Responsible Parenthood Law to foster public health and access to information on reproductivehealth to citizens who are free to act in accordance with their conscience. In this manner, a deeply divisive issue was
nally resolved. Health for the citizenry also informed the momentous passage of the Sin Tax Reform Law. After languish-ing for several terms, and in the face of tremendous pressure from lobbyists, Congress responded to the bills certica-tion as urgent by the President, and passed the law before the end of the year. Legislators, commentators, and mediahave all lauded the Presidents political will in passing these laws.
These political initiatives came hand-in-hand with a roaring economy, one that has experienced strong growth and stableinflation despite the uncertainties of the global economy. Philippine GDP growth for the 3rd quarter hit a two-year highof 7.1 percent-- the highest in Southeast Asia, and among the top performing economies in Asia. Meanwhile, the Philip-pine Stock Exchange index this year broke record high after record high, soaring above expectations and breaching the5,800 mark. The Philippine Peso also appreciated by as much as 6 percent this year and is projected to gain even morestrength in the coming year.
These positive indicators are underpinned by an administration that has maintained scal discipline, initiated reforms toramp up quality public spending, and invested heavily in both social and physical infrastructure. This is manifested in the2.006 trillion peso General Appropriations Act for 2013, 10.5 percent higher than the 2012 budget. The 2013 GAA contin-ues the Aquino administrations tradition of an on-time passage of the budget-- eliminating leak-prone reenactments andshowing the determination of government to ensure that every peso of the budget is spent wisely.
Not only is the President enjoying the highest sustained public approval ratings in history-- he is also being recognized bythe international community as a true leader in foreign affairs. The Philippines has taken the lead in upholding a peaceful,multilateral, and consensus-driven diplomatic approach as regards territorial disputes. In this regard, President Aquinohas stood his ground thus gaining the admiration of his fellow leaders in the global arena.
While these past two and half years have been a period of continued renewal for the country, 2012 in particular hasbeen a year of rebuilding and restoration. This year we saw the full effect of political will used correctly and for the rightpurposes, knowing that power is merely lent by the people to their leaders to ultimately serve the countrys best interests.By all indicators, this was the best year for the Philippines in a long time, a time for celebration and pride for the reclaimedstanding of our country as we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other rising nations of the world.
In 2012, we turned the corner, xed the damage wrought by the crooked ways of the past, and established further that thestraight path is the only way forward. Despite the tragedies that have visited the country in 2012-- from natural disastersto the untimely demise of a beloved reformist-- the Filipino people have shown that their spirit cannot be broken. As theadministration embarks on 2013, there is all the more reason for Filipinos to travel on the straight path under the leader-ship of President Aquino and the adherents to his noble cause.

ON the heels of the latest mas-
sacre of little school children in
Newton, Connecticut, is the raging
debate about gun control. One item
that caught my attention was that
of the pro-gun advocate, Wayne
Lapierre, executive vice-president
of the National Rifle Association.
He accused Hollywood, video
games, music, the courts and the
media of much of the culture of
violence that seems to be engulng
American society in general. My
spontaneous reaction was to agree
with him.
Whenever I take a boat in myoccasional trips to the islands, I end
up having a terrible time because I
cannot help but watch at least a lit-
tle of the movies and hear the music
shown and played in the vessels.
They all seem to swing between
two possibilities onlyviolence
and sex, and of course, a dam burst
Trapped in the senses
of inanities, senselessness
and ridiculous plots and sto-
rylines that sometimes lead
me to wonder whether theworld has really gone crazy.
The little consolation I
get is that many of the co-
passengers appear not to be
paying much attention to
these movies. I only hear
their reactions when the
scene on the screen is comi-
cal. Otherwise, like me they
seem to avoid looking at
them.But I worry about those
who nd these lms and mu-
sic interesting. And these are
mostly the young people.
What do you think would
happen if everyday you get
a heavy dose of sex and vio-
lence around? I would say
that no matter how we con-
sider ourselves as mature
enough to be able to distin-
guish between real life and
ction, sooner or later we
will be affected by what we
see and hear often around us.
These days, there are
many people whom I con-
sidered trapped in the world
of the senses, ruled mainly
by their instincts and emo-
tions, and easily vulnerable
to mere impulses of the flesh
and the usually improperly
grounded worldly valuesand ways.
I dont refer much to
those who are already emo-
tionally or mentally dis-
turbed and even sick. I refer
more to the so-called normal
people, who can manage to
he statistics of people losing a part of their
limbs and experiencing unnecessary pain
has denitely gone down through the yearsbut there is still some who are deaf to the massive
campaign of the Department of Health cautioning
families to discourage people especially children
from using recrackers to celebrate the holidays.Since Christmas Eve, there are already 1000 cases
brought to hospitals in Metro manila alone. This
does not include the statistics during the New Year
where it has been the tradition to meet it with noise
and recrackers.
Families are too stubborn and hard-headed to
heed the warnings; that they just ignore the advi-
sory given by the authorities. The government has
to come up with a stiffer action to thwart ac-
cidents, loss of properties and lives due to the
wanton use of recrackers and dangerous ma-
terials from being used to celebrate the holi-
days.
It is very possible to meet the New Year, and
other festivities with merry-making and jovi-al mood free from the usual dismemberment
and unnecessary pain. The practice has been
successfully implemented in Davao City and
in other local government units. The enjoy-
ment and celebratory mood of the people in
these places are not lessened, and at the end
families are happy that no one from among

THE PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE
When the days were completed for their purication according tothe law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took Jesus up to Jerusalem to pre-sent him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Everymale that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and tooffer the sacrice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, inaccordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Now there was aman in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteousand devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the holy Spirit wasupon him. It had been revealed to him by the holy Spirit that he shouldnot see death before he had seen the Messiah of the Lord. He came inthe Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the childJesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him, he took himinto his arms and blessed God, saying: Now, Master, you may let yourservant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seenyour salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a lightfor revelation to the Gentiles, and glory to your people Israel. Thechilds father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and
Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this childis destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign thatwill be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that thethoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
CONSIDER DEATH
Browsing through the books in the childrens section, Holly cameacross a nicely illustrated book of prayers that would be perfect for herniece, Allison. She paged through it and liked what she saw until shefound a little prayer she learned as a kid: Now I lay me down to sleep.I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Stay close to me throughout the night.,And wake me with the morning light. She thought, Whatever hap-pened to If I should die before I wake? Holly just discovered that inthe culture that sells youth and vitality, death has become a well-keptsecret. Thank God that the church encourages us to prepare ourselvesfor the hour of our death (CCC#1014). We still pray todays gospel,called Simeons canticle, at Night Prayer and ask for Marys prayerfulhelp at the hour of our death. Prayer: Oh Master of my life, if I wereto die this day I would not be disappointed; nor would I feel as thoughI missed anything. For you have shown me love and salvation. Guide
me to death and beyond. Action: Consider how you would feel if youdied today. Think about what you would angry about and what youwould be grateful for.

In a couple of days, cal-
endar year 2012 bids fare-
well. Customary among
Filipinos is coming up
with New Years Resolu-
tion along with the current
years exodus. From chang-
ing lifestyle and improving
health habits to amend-ing crucial decisions and
rebuilding relations with
friends and kin, these plans
for reform are vast and
myriad as there are millions
of warm and living souls
who believe in it, regardless
of whether they succeed or
Self-rule in Old Age and Little Help
Of Cabbages
& Kings...dr. nila l. filamor
My 85 year-old mom,
who is cognitively smart
and gets around more than
I do, still lives in the ances-
tral house, bathe, dress and
undress, and go outside
each day for some fresh airwith alternating little help
from Vida, Albert, Sherwin
and Cleofe. Sweet Myrna
shops, prepares and serves
meals, do light housekeep-
ing and make sure she
takes her medications on
time.
Last weekend, mom at-
tended the Clan Reunion
with Vida on her toes. Then
what? She was requested
to make the Christmas
message being the oldest
. Vida was anxious what
poor gradmom wouldsay. Vida was amazed how
mom delivered her mes-
sage with clarity and vivid
memory recall.
Mom has outlived the
universal health indica-
tor of women which is 72
years old for developed na-
tions. Complicating mat-
ters, her small pension is
still coming and am afraid
the social security ofce
might knock at our door
realizing that given such
a case might bankrupt the
system. I have warned ourgatekeeper never to admit
anybody in the house of
this and similar concerns,
and she knows I am kid-
ding but serious.
When asked to visit
Cebu for the holidays, she
wanted to remain in her
own home as long as pos-
sible. She thinks the situa-
tion is too burdensome for
her aide, and such sweet
thoughtfulness is truly
mom even in her pre-depar-
ture stage, as my late dad
describes. Never a burden,
even the driver is dispensa-
ble to her flights.
Mom lives in self-rule
and needs little outside
help. All she does is ring
the phone for any concern:
her range of issues cover
from land titling, daily
menu, the picture frame on
the wall, the lavatory gone
awry and inventory of dear
friends who has joined our
Creator. I think she is ter-
ried of the idea that she is
the lone survivor of John
Bunyans innumerable
caravan that leads to the
mysterious realm.
On the other hand, see-
ing her age gracefully, I
think we have to retrot
our homes, neighborhood
networks reconnected and
new villages planned. To
assist declining eye sight,
brighter bulbs may be t-
ted at home and access ar-
eas like rest rooms be so
guided with night lamps. I
am thinking of myself too,
in old age - if I grow old
at all like mom, although I
am only half of moms age.
For my retirement, I have to
renovate a home package
which could include roller
kitchen, bathroom, show-
ers, faucets from nowhere
and zero-step aisles and
wide hallways. Maybe, in
my twilight years, my Du-
lag farm can be converted
into a retirement destina-
tion for anybody willing
to grow old with me of
course with independence
and little assistance as can
be.
Mama, Merry Christmas
and more years to cheer!
not. For them, the promise
of a new beginning comes
with ushering in the dawn
of a new year with trumpets
and reworks.
Constant as there are
countless who indulge in
having for themselves the
New Years Resolution,some persons could not
help but ask: Is it neces-
sary? Really, one could
quip, Do we need to have
this New Years Resolution
when we can make such
restructuring in our lives
as soon as possible wher-
ever we are and whenever
we have to? Antagonistic
yet pragmatic, this query
is. Try to check the answer
yourself. Ask right upon
your own countenance howmuch you have accom-
plished your New Years
Resolution. What reply do
you get?
Let us take a realistic
outlook on this New Year
craze. Was it not supposed
to be the end of the world
on December 21, 2012,
according to doomsay-
ers (now called amalay-
ers)? Had it occurred and
you were not bent on doing
your personal transforma-
tion, like not being nasty
anymore, or not crashinginto someone elses party
or throwing gossips here
and there, because it was
not New Year yet, do you
honestly believe you will
die in peace? Had you been
among those who perished
but you failed to reconcile
with your enemies and
those whom you hurt or
have hurt you, do you think
you will nd your way to
Heaven?
I vividly recall the hom-
ily of Rev. Fr. Wilson Chu
in a Sunday Mass he cel-
ebrated at Sto. Nino Church
in Tacloban. One phrase
strongly captured my mind:
Edit your life. He said,
our life is like a compact
disc that will be presented
before God on the day we
pass from this life. This CD
of our life will be shown to
Him in the condition that it
ended and will be His basis
in judging each and every
human. Meaning, as Fr.
Chu explained, whatever
appears there if one re-
mains in the state of sin, so
be it. Thus, it is of utmost
importance that while hu-
mans have the opportunity
to do so, he should rather
edit his life. Edit your
life, Fr. Chu exclaimed as
he stressed this vital point
necessary for our eternal
life.
behave well in a civil way
when in the open, but cannot
regulate their wild instincts
and emotions when they are
hidden and solitary.
Their imagination can run
amuck. The direction of their
thoughts and feelings can re-
ally go berserk. And since
these are mainly hidden, then
they usually go unchecked
and are allowed to fester.
This is when people can
go spiritually lukewarm,
losing interest in prayer, in
keeping the effort to be in
Gods presence, and in mak-
ing sacrices which are an
indispensable ingredient of
any follower of Christ.
This is when people start
making compromises with
evil, starting with little ones
like the venial sins and wors-ening as time passes by, until
big and horrendous crimes
and other malicious acts
can be done with hardly any
pangs of conscience.
Sex is trivialized. Sacred-
ness of life, of marriage, of
delity and the other virtues
ebb away like the sea in low
tide. Since this condition
usually prevails where the
environment is not only spir-
itually lukewarm but also
bombarded with sex and vio-
lence, then immoralities be-
come social norms and caneven be made into laws.
We need to be freed from
the trap of our senses and
merely worldly values, and
thus some extraordinary
measures would have to be
used from time to time. The
lives of saints show us this.
It is said that to preserve
their purity, St. Francis of
Assisi rolled on the snow, St.
Benedict threw himself into
a thorn bush, St. Bernard
plunged into an icy pond.
Many of us are averse to this
idea, given our current cul-ture, but measures like these
are but the most logical thing
to do to effectively counter
the enemies ranged against
us.
We also need to ll our
mind with things of God. We
should not just be contented
with being naturally good,
or good according to human
standards, or to merely so-
cial and legal norms.
Christ himself said that
unless your justice abounds
more than that of the scribes
and Pharisees, you shall not
enter into the kingdom of
heaven. (Mt 5,20)
We need to make a con-
scious and abiding effort to
be Gods presence and tomake our relationship and
working relationship of love.
Outside of these, we can-
not expect to be freed from
the grip of the sensual and
the material. Outside of
these, we will always remain
vulnerable to the impulses of
the flesh and the erratic ways
of the world.

Case No. 656
For: NULLITY OF
MARRIAGE
x- - - - - - -x
PETITIONPETITIONER, though
the undersigned counsel and
unto this Honorable Court,
most respectfully states:1. That petitioner is of
legal age, Filipino, married
to herein respondent, with
residence at Brgy. Wilson,
Mayorga, Leyte where he
may be served with notices,
orders and legal processes of
this Honorable Court; that re-
spondent is likewise of legal
age, Filipino, married to here-
in petitioner, with last known
address at Brgy. Wilson, May-
orga, Leyte where she may be
served with notices, orders
and other legal processes of
this Honorable Court;
2. That both parties have
the capacity to sue and be
sued.
3. That herein respond-
ents became pregnant while
they were still in a relation-
ship with each other; that it
is for this reason that they
entered into a contract of
marriage on May 13. 2000 at
Viga, Catanduanes, Philip-
pines; that despite this fact,
petitioner became a good
husband to herein respondent
and was never oblivious of
his responsibility of being the
provider of the family; a copy
of their marriage certicate
is hereto attached as Annex
A and made an integral part
hereof.
4. That a year after their
rst child, Gwyneth Jasareno
Bernal, was born, herein re-
spondent labored their sec-
ond child, Ian James Jasareno
Bernal; machine copies of the
childrens live birth are hereto
attached as Annexes B and
C respectively and made in-
tegral parts hereof;
5. That this prompted pe-
titioner to look for a better and
brighter opportunity abroad inorder to provide sufciently
for thr needs of his growing
family; that in as much as he
would want to see his children
grow, he chose to sacrice and
work in a place miles apart
from his family to secure their
future --- a temporary separa-
tion in exchange of a brighter
and secured future together;
that petitioner can only close
his eyes while he faces the sad
reality;
6. That their actual cohab-
itation lasted only for more
than one (1) year since herein
petitioner went to Dubai,
United Arab of Emirates on
August 11, 2001 (one month
prior to the birth of their sec-
ond child) to work as a super-visor in the butchery depart-
ment of an enterprise; that he
worked there for more than
two (2) years and went back to
the Philippines on January 22,
2004 only; that after a month
of vacation in the country, he
went back again to Dubai to
continue his work;
7. That during his em-
ployment in Dubai, herein
petitioner has been hearing
rumors from the townspeople
in Viga, Catanduanes, which
are corroborated by their rela-
tives, that herein respondent
is having an illicit relation-
ship with petitioners rst
degree cousin, Joshua Turado-
Turirit, who was only, during
that time, 21 or 22 years old,
that said illicit affair started
just after petioner departed
for Dubai; that it was not re-
spondents rst and last act
of indelity for she also had
subsequent dishonest relation-
ships with different men the
petitioner was torn whether to
identify all of them or not for
the consequence was still the
same;
8. That being far away
and unable to go home as
much as he wanted to, herein
petitioner could do nothing
but sop up the painful truth
about his wifes indelity, that
he was as much worried about
their childrens welfare as he
also learned from their rela-
tives that respondent started
neglecting and reneging her
obligations to their children;
9. That when petitioner
returned to the Philippines on
June 17, 2007, he immediately
found a way to clear things up
and thereafter conversed with
his wife for him to see pointblank the truthfulness of the
report; that to his dismay, nei-
ther did her wife conrm nor
belie the buzz; that for him,
her apathy was a conrmation
of the news; that either way,
it was then impossible for re-
spondent to deny everything
for the surrounding circum-
stances would undoubtedly
prove her indelity;
10. That to avoid the over-
whelmingly scandalous situa-
tion, petitioner, together with
herein respondent and their
children, decided to transfer
to Mayorga, Leyte and start
anew; that despite everything,
he dicided to give his wife a
chance to change and to be
able to x their marriage andfamily as petitioner values the
importance of a family that is
whole and instilled with great
values; that this is the very
reason why he is working hard
abroad;
11. That petitioner left
again and continue to work
abroad; that contrary to his
expectations, respondent had
not, after all, changed; instead
she continued her old doings
and engaged into another re-
lationship taking advantage
of the fact that petitioner was
nowhere near to monitor what
is happening;
12. That words came to
petitioners knowledge that
respondent eloped with her
boyfriend, who was said to be
a teacher;
13. That petitioner tried
his best, through the help of
their relatives; to locate the
whereabouts of his wife but
they failed; respondent hadnt
had any plan of showing her-
self up and explain everything
to her husband;
14. That these negative
attributes of the respondent
which borders on her indel-
ity and irresponsibility are
clear manifestations of her
being unable to perform the
essential marirtal obligations
expected of a spouse; that her
continued engagement into re-
lationships with different men
caused her to be truly incogni-
tive of the basic marital cov-
enants that concurrently must
be assumed and discharged
by her to their marriage which
include their mutual obliga-
tion to live together, observe
mutual love, respect, delity
and render help and support;
15. That above premisesconsidered, the respondent is
psychologically incapacitated
to assume and perform the
essential obligations of mari-
tal life; thus, under the New
Family Code, their marriage
is practically null and void;
16. That the cause of this
incapacity of the respondent
is rooted on a psychologi-
cal disorder which is deeply
rooted from her childhood and
has been persistent until her
adulthood such as a cure of the
same becomes vain; this men-
tal or psychological condition
will be medically or clinically
certied by proven experts as
grave and incurable;
17. That having been ac-
tually separated from the re-spondent for quite a time, pe-
titioner no longer has the love
and affection for her; earnest
efforts towards a reconcilia-
tion have been made but the
same have failed; hence, for
society to compel petitioner to
live together with his wife is
tantamount to forcing him to
once again suffer the insuffer-
able, endure the unendurable
and bear the unbearable;
18. That the parties hereto
did not acquire substantial as-
sets during their brief union.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, in view
of the foregoing it is most re-
spectfully prayed of this Hon-
orable Court that a decree be
issued declaring the parties
marriage void ab initio on
the ground of psychological
incapacity on the part of the
respondent, with all the legal
consequences thereof.
Other reliefs just and eq-
uitable under the premises is
also similarly prayed for.

This editing waits no
time, no season. It is always
ASAP. If we have to make
amends with our neighbors
and especially family mem-
ers, as our beloved cler-
ics have been telling us, we
should do so without wait-
ing for New Year. Rev. Fr.
Amadeo Alvero, in a homily
during the Christmas Party
Mass he celebrated at the
Bulwagan ng Katarungan in
Tacloban last December 20,
exhorted the congregation to
e at peace with one another
now that we are still living
ecause it is already too late
to regret not having said sor-
ry to the person we hurt if he
has already passed away.
With these words to pon-
der, a gem of thought, I live
to you the same message
Do not procrastinate in do-
ing what is right and pleas-ing before the eyes of Father
The dawn...from page 5
God. Tomorrow, indeed, may
be too late if the end of your
world comes.
Likewise I extend my
deepest gratitude to those
who have stayed with me
through my ups and downs,
who cheered me up in my
lowest moments and pro-
pelled up my spirit to the
point that I could almost
shout for joy. For those who
have showed their support,
graciousness and coopera-
tion, my sincerest thanks.
To all of you, May Gods
countenance be upon you
and bring you peace, happi-
ness, much love and prosper-
ity through the days of your
life.
Above all, my soul re-
joices in Christ my Savior for
He has rescued me. There-

their love-ones and kin
has been hurt.
The suggestion to des-
ignate specic areas as
recrackers area is a
laudable one. It will make
sure that children are not
allowed in it. This prac-
tice is being implemented
in the US and other coun-
tries. Such practice if
employed in the country
will ensure that recrack-
ers-instigated res are
lessened if not totally pre-
vented. Loss of lives and
properties will be pre-
vented from happening.
In these hard times, the
government has to push
extra measures that will
prevent unnecessary inci-
Meeting...from page 4
dents and accidents
from happening
that only worsen
the economic situations
of hapless individuals
and families. It is also
high time that more
stringent penalties are
put into place.
Remembering the
New Year three years
ago still brings some
pain and fear when aneighbor, a family of
Indian nationals used
a high-powered re-
cracker out of incon-
siderate display of clout
and power led to the
bursting of the cable
wires that rendered us
cable-free for one day.
Instead of being sorry,
the family just closed
their door and glee-
fully laughed aloud, it
is good that no one washurt during this episode
of wanton outburst and
disrespect for others.
