NUJP-Leyte prez calls on fellow journalists not to be corrupted


TACLOBAN CITY e president of National Union of Journalist of the Philippines (NUJP), Leyte chapter, Rollie Montilla, believes that even with poor economic condition of journalists here in the region, still it is never justi able to engage in any form of corruption. Media in a recent survey of Global Corruption Barometer conducted last September 2012 to March 2013 was perceived to be the least a ected by corruption, having 14 percent of the respondents. PNP got the highest having 69%, public o cials, 64%; party political, 56%; military, 43%, education sector, 30%; medical health services, 31%; business sector, 30%; non government organization, 25%; Catholic church, 15%; and media, 14%. e survey showed that corruption is continuously spreading and developing in all sectors. Montilla told Leyte Samar Daily Express that discussing media corruption makes media people feel uncomfortable, but it has to come out, it will be like a bitter medicine the recent survey is a warning and that is happening because we had allowed it to beand that freedom of press is distorted. According to Montilla, `in any organization there is always corruption going on, na depende ini han tawo kon mapadara hiya. Studies of the National Statistical Coordination Board revealed that more or less P600 is needed everyday for a family of six in order to meet basic needs. However, for those working in the media industry here in the region, broadcast journalists receive around P8,000 a month while print journalists or correspondents of newspapers receive amount on published stories. Belt-tightening has been part and way of life among journalists here. It is because the salary they receive is not enough to provide for the needs of their families. And mostly, it is only the passion for media work that holds them back from accepting other jobs. With a meager salary that journalist receive every month, some of them forced to look for part time jobs, or engage in selling or advertisements where they can receive 20% to 30% commission. And most of the time, the commission

ganizational development, discipline, excellence and professionalism. PRO8 conducted last week the follow-up cascading of enhanced PNP Patrol Plan 2030 attended by provincial and city directors and police chiefs in the region aimed at instilling a culture of reform and transformation to members of the organization. Soria further informed that transparency and public accountability is the established norm in all transactions in the PNP. An example, he said, is

the recent acquisition of Glock pistols, considered the biggest procurement project in PNP history, wherein the transparent conduct of the bidding process for the handguns, with P40,940 market price but PNP got a better deal with the distributor that sold the guns for only P16,659.94 actual purchase price. e PNP was able to save P200,082.954.24 from the original P1.198 billion allocation and later used in buying additional 15,000 pieces of the same brand of handgun. He added that the PNP continue to satisfy a great majority of Filipinos with respect to the performance of their sworn duties which is to serve and protect. Soria cited the all-time high rating in a recent performance survey by Social Weather Stations (SWS) conducted during the Christmas holidays which showed that six out of 10 Filipinos were satis ed with the per-

formance of the PNP, which garnered an all-time high 50 percent net satisfaction rating. e SWS survey showed that majority of our countrymen are satis ed in our performance in crime solving and protecting the people, the police regional director averred. Soria advised his men not to be distracted by the survey and instead focus on their job to serve and protect the people. As an organizational measure against corruption, the PNP also has strengthened and empowered the Internal A airs Service and the Discipline, Law and Order Division (DLOD) as the lead units in addressing issues on corruption in all levels of the organization, the police o cial added.

Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee. If I have hurt which soul, I am repentant. Lessons learned which I would like to share. The strange side: even the dead can outsmart the living. However, caring is vigilance. I should have exercised due diligence in knowing my surroundings. Joan, Lang and Febes were full of glee when I conded the story and at the same time were confounded by my folly. They reminded me that to remain faithful is to love, and to love is to be solicitous and fully concerned of the other. On a higher plane, man need not be over-anxious nor worried.

The unbreakable law of nature


I turned 22 this month and I feel good. At a tender age, I have accomplished a manifold of personal leaderships. I was a working student and I graduated with honors. I have a great career and a loving family. I have supportive and intelligent friends and most importantly, unlike other adults, I have no issues with my age. Life is interim and as fast as a blink of an eye. Learning to accept this is a skill, and learning this skill is not a piece of cake. The things that are higlycelebrated today, like our looks, our gure and our physique, may no longer be noticeable tomorrow. Every year, we ripen our age, just like how mine ripened to 22. I am lucky to realize and accept, that soon, I shall get old, but for some, I believe it is otherwise. The urge to stay and look young has been harnessed to what humans are capable of today. The juveniles by heart, have baptized the modern fountain of youth to what they call the stem cell therapy. The process boasts tissue and cell rejuvenation which shall later substantiate prolonged youth. The stem cells used are taken from a lamb fetus and injected to human patients. The scientism of the procedure ensures painless after effects, although, guratively, it also ensures painful pockets and wallets afterwards. The price of treatment and maintenance means selling three lamborghinis. Yet, some Filipinoes are still willing to invest. Common sense is not as expensive as stem cells. It should only take a few yanks in the head before someone realizes that going through the maintained youth process is like allowing a thief steal your riches in the open. The alter ego of stem cell therapy for youth is disposable youth. In parallel with such an impratical method, these acts are also defying what

This is a true story. Besides being true, the story is most likely unexpected, funny and unforgettable. I attended the necrological mass of a special departed. Alone, I entered the cathedral bravely yet sober and so restrained . From a distance, I saw the humble wooden casket being pulled in while relatives were disconsolate. Settling down noiselessly, I collected my calm prayer for the dead. Time lapse, and there were no familiar friends. In my thoughts, I scolded my friends for being late. Till a young lady approached and engaged me in a long conversation. I handed an envelope with few bills with the thought that this could

help in any way. Finally, she asked me for my name. Then I started relating how I met Dr. Asis Belena, the dear departed. To my dismay, the lady told me that the dead on the altar was not the one I came for. Can you imagine my embarassment. The funny choice in my unguarded moment was: should I take back the envelope and the prayer I said? Or simply y? Both choices were difcult to do. In my usual cool stand, I told the lady, it does not matter, God sees the truth. A few seconds more, the ofciating priest started the requiem mass and in thirty minutes, my ordeal was over. Yes, I stood by for the dead I did

humans are ordianed of. The people who engage into such activites are living up to what the bible of Idiocracy dictates. Youth is the climax of a story, and will eventually reach its denouement. While we are young, we are provided with strength, fervor and conviction to harvest our efforts when we get old. Forced and induced youth means dissatisfaction,frustration and greed. We all have our time in the circle of life, we cannot always ll in the voids of the cycle by protracting our youth. I am elated to know a simple body of wisdom,

that is, our mental, social, psychological and physical attributes will constantly change. This may not sound ear candy to some, but this fact will remain anchored on the essence of being a human. I always hear One Direction and Bob Marley in my head: while we are young, we live and while we are young, we feel the rain and just dont get wet. We get the taste of youth once; and when we get old, the time when we need the skill of acceptance, we can never retrieve every ber of youth that we used to have. This is the unbreakable law of nature.

Deep within them is the mystery if life and I can almost see it because it hasnt yet been glazed over by even the slightest falsehood or surrender to the passing world. They have not yet learned the guile of deception or the lie of marketing. The babies are totally transparent, totally clear, completely receptive, completely open; no creature is more vulnerable than a baby. As they grow up, they will become more guarded, more opaque, and less assailable. But for now God can be seen in them and can reach out through them to touch our broken hearts and heal us.

Let us heed Saint Pauls advice Abstain from every form of evil. There needs to be a real education in chastity, undertaken in a wise, charitable and prudent way. -Blessed James Alberione, Founder of the Pauline Family

One primary function of government is the promotion of public safety and the protection of life and property. is is the reason why we have laws, rules and regulations governing human conduct with the end of making every person and property safe. In the many facets of life, standards are set and rules are implemented to promote the safety of the people. We have for instance safety standards in workplaces to ensure that workers are safe as they perform their work. ere too are rules governing the movement of vehicles as well as trafc rules for pedestrians and motorists to observe so that all those using the roads are safe from harm.

We too have regulations concerning other modes of transportation, one basic rule having to do with passenger and load capacity, also with the aim of keeping passengers safe on their voyage. ese are just some of the aspects of life that are covered by laws, rules and regulations, all in order to promote the safety of persons and properties. Violating such laws, rules and regulations often result in perils to life and property. It is the reason why there are government agencies tasked primarily to enforce such laws, rules and regulations in order to ensure that people are safe. Road safety and trafc are ensured by police

lesser aspects of human life and activities mentioned in the preceding paragraphs are fully implemented and enforced by speci c government agencies, the one governing structures are not implemented and enforced the way it must be. Comments to alellema@hotmail.com

(LEYECO II) Applicant. x-----------------------------------------x NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES: Notice is hereby given that on May 21, 2013, Leyte Ii Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LEYECO II) filed an application for the approval of its capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects and distribution development plan (DDP) 2016, with prayer for provisional authority. In the said application, (LEYECO II) alleged, among others, that: 1. It is a non-stock, non-profit electric cooperative (EC) duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the Presidential Decree No. 269 (PD No. 269), as amended, with principal office located at LEYECO II Building, Real Street, Sagkahan District, Tacloban City, Leyte; 2. It is the exclusive franchise holder, issued by the National Electrification Administration (NEA), to operate an electric light and power services in the City of Tacloban and the Municipalities Palo and Babatngon, all in the Province of Leyte; 3. Section 43 (f) (v) of Republic Act No. 9136 (R.A. No. 9136) provides that, Any significant operating costs or project investments of the TRANSCO and distribution utilities which shall become part of the rate base shall be subject to verification by the ERC to ensure that the contracting and procurement of the equipment, assets and services have been subjected to trasnparent and accepted industry procurement and purchasing practices to protect the public interest; 4. In view of the aforesaid mandate, the Commission promulgated Resolution No. 13, Series of 2006, entitled, A Resolution Adopting the Guidelines to Govern the Submission, Evaluation, and Approval of Electric Capital Projects; 5. Pursuant to the aforesaid Guidelines and Section 23 of R.A. No. 9136, it filed its five (5) year (2011-2015) CAPEX under its Distribution Development Plan (DDP), which is now under the evaluation of the Commission; 6. The timelines for the filing of multi-year CAPEX application was revised to coincide with the timeless for filing applications under the Tariff Glide Path (TGP) Rules pursuant to the Commissions Resolution No. 20, Series of 2011; 7. The instant application is intended to complete its six (6) CAPEX plan from years 2011 to 2016; 8. To coincide with the timelines for the filing of applications under the TGP Rules, it filed its CAPEX Projects under the DDP for year 2016 amounting to Sixty Five Million Four Hundred Eighty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Three Pesos (Php65,485,853.00); 9. From the very start of its founding, it has five thousand eight hundred forty (5,840) members and seven thousand eight hundred thirty (7,830) active connections. Five years after, its consumers increased by two hundred forty-three percent (243%) or a total of fourteen thousand one hundred ninety-three (14,193) consumers, while its active connections grew by two hundred thirteen percent 213%) or a total of sixteen thousand six hundred seventy-one (16,671) active connections. The potential number of households, within its franchise area, for connection was estimated at thirty two thousand five hundred (32,500). A total of thirty-nine (39) barrios were served by its 106.496 km primary lines and 148.656 km secondary lines which were already in place and energized at that time; 10. In the year 2009, it installed a total of 10.2 km lines to ensure electricity will be available to its member-consumers. At present, its total circuit km length is 1,338.85 km with 791.67 km of primary lines and 546.58 km of secondary lines. It has three (3) substations located at Sagkahan with a 2-10MVA power transformers serving feeders 1, 2 and 5, Campetic with a 10 MVA power transformer serving 7, 8 and 9 and Abucay with a 20 MVA power transformer serving feeders 3, 4 and 6. However, due to the increasing load of its Campetic Substation, feeder 7 was moved to Abucay Substation and was tapped to feeder 6; 11. An evaluation of its distribution system showed that, based from its 24-year capacity analysis, the total capacity of its distribution system will be 70.4% by the year 2013 to 183.74% by year 2034. In view thereof, the performance criteria pegged at seventy percent (70%) of the maximum rated capacity will be breached by the year 2013. Hence, the need to increase its capacity; 12. In addition, some parts of its distribution system were found to be deficient of safety devices. In view thereof, there is a need for the installation of reclosers; 13. During its simulations, some of its secondary lines at specific hours delivered low power quality. No issues were found from its primary lines. Several solution were proposed in its DDP for the correction of these voltage problems;

5. RSEC-WR was promulgated by the Commission by virtue of an authority granted under Sections 35 and 43 (f) of Republic Act No. 9136 (R.A. No. 9136); 5. On May 2, 2011, the Commission promulgated the Tariff Glide Path (TGP) Rules pursuant to Article VII of the RSEC-WR whereby during the regulatory period, the rate of the Electric Cooperatives (ECs) per group shall be adjusted using the following formula; Tariff x (1+ index I -Effi ciency Factor X + Performance Incentive S) The Index I shall be an escalation factor to be used in adjusting the rates to reflect the combined impact of inflation and load factor. There shall be an efficiency factor X to account for the operational efficiency of the ECs in setting their rates. There shall be a performance incentive S which shall reward or penalize the EC for above or below standard performance, respectively. The TGP is intended as a cap and the EC may move up to the cap, if it is a positive adjustive. If the cap is lower than the current average tariff, a reduction may be implemented; 7. The TGP Rules prescribe the methodology, the regulatory process and timeline that the Commission shall undertake in the full implementation of Article VII of RSEC-WR. It is a rate adjustment mechanism which provides an opportunity for the ECs to adjust their rates once every three (3) years. The rate adjustments may occur at the start of the fourth year of the First Regulatory Period and every three years thereafter; 8. Under the TGP, the regulatory period is six (6) years for each entry group. For the First Entrant Group, the first Regulatory Period is from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2016. It belongs to the First Entrant Group; 9. Further under the TGP Rules, the concerned EC shall use the following formula in determining its TGP for the first to third years of the Regulatory Period: TGPA= TGPn + TGPn+1 TGPn+2 Where: TGPn = In - Xn + Sn n = the first year of the Regulatory Period and succeeding Regulatory Periods Except that for the first two years of the First Regulatory Period, X will be equal to zero and thereafter shall not be less than zero. The TGP calculated for each of the three years will be summed to determine the possible rate adjustment starting on the Fourth Year of the current Regulatory Period; 10. In applying the methodology embodied in the TGP Rules, it has determined that the values of I, X and S and applied the same on the formula above,as follows: Tariff x (1 + Index I - Effi ciency Factor X) + Performance Incentive S 11. The calculations applying the foregoing formula resulted in the following rate adjustment on its DSM rates: Year 2010 2011 2012 Net Results I 0.00% 2.07% 0.00% X 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% S 1.50% 1.90% 2.10% TGP A 1.50% 3.97% 2.10% 7.57% TGP A (Excluding S) 0.00% 2.07% 0.00% 2.07%

16. It prays that pending trial and evaluation of the instant application, a provisional authority be issued authorizing it to implement either of the two (2) alternative proposed new rates for its DSM Charges, starting January 2014 and up to the next regulatory reset, and after due notice and hearing, that the same be permanently granted. In summary, the two (2) alternative proposed new DSM rates are as follows:

Panying and Nonong: Renewal of Vows

PICTORIALS

Re. Jud Nnn Aln & Pn Aln

50th Wedding Anniversary!! !

Wednesday, 17 July 2013

OUR WEDDING was many years ago e occasion continues to this day is was the declaration of couple Romulo Nonong and EstifanaPanying Arellano who just recently marked their half a century union as husband and wife last July 13, this year. Indeed it was really true. On July 13, 1963, Romulo, a son of Oras town, married her girlfriend Estifana who hails from the neighboring town of Sulat at the St. Ignatius of Loyola (Sulat, Eastern Samar). And just last July 13, 2013 or 50 years a er, the two made their renewal of vows at the same old church where they rst made a vow to stay together, for better or for worst and in sickness and in health. No less than Bishop Crispin B. Varquez assisted by priests from Oras and Sulat o ciated the renewal of vows attended by their respective family members and close friends. eir blissful union has produced eight children, three of them are now permanently based in the United States, who are all successful professionals at their chosen elds. e eldest, Gemboy, is a lawyer; Giselle, a nurse; Bong-bong, a presiding judge of a municipal trial court in San Pedro Laguna; Len-Len, a certi-

ed public accountant; Binky and Chilet, both doctors and B-Ann and T-Yen, both medical therapists. Sisters Giselle, B-Ann and T-Yen are now based in the United States. e professions chosen by some of the Arellano children could be said to have been in uenced by the professions of their parents. Romulo was a lawyer and been appointed as a regional trial court judge while Estifana was a school nurse. A er the ceremony, the couple with their children and 15 grandchildren, coupled with their guests, went to the family-owned farm at Barangay Pangudtan in Oras where sumptuous of foods await them. Among the guests were Oras Mayor Vivienne Alvarez and husband, Niel (a former mayor himself), board member Karen Alvarez; Judge Liza Picardal Tecson, who handled the custody case involving presidential sister and queen of all media, Kris Aquino and ex-husband James Yap and Dalmacio Gra l and wife Alma of this paper. A er the guests were treated to what appear to be up to sawa foods and drinks, the happy occasion ended with reworks that lasted for several minutes and the blowing of 50 pieces of paper lanterns. It also marked with the guests dancing the night away.(JAG)
