BY JOEY A. GABIETA nor, who opened the 6th Industry Forum yesterday, said. Leyte has what it takes to develop. We have the necessary infrastructures and the people, he said. According to him, almost all the infrastructures being looked by investors could now be found in the province. We have the airport, shopping malls, telecommunications, an information and technology park, and the skills (of potential workers), Petilla said in an interview. All the infrastructures that he mentioned were essentials for investors to be enticed to come to Leyte and invest, the governor said.

TACLOBAN CITY Abaca fiber production in Eastern Visayas suffered a 30% decline during the first half of the year, mainly due to disease infestation, the Fiber Industry Development Authority (FIDA) reported. Region 8 the countrys second top abaca producing area registered a 5.82 million kilograms (kgs) yield, 30.7% lower than the 8.41 million kgs harvest in first six months of 2012. Wilardo Sinahon, officer-in-charge of FIDA
regional office here, said that in Leyte and Southern Leyte, only 30% of abaca farms have been productive as abaca mosaic and bunchy-top diseases continue to play havoc in farms. Because of the disease, only abaca farms in remote areas have been productive. Production cost went up since they have to bring products to the lowland. With this situation, many farmers were discouraged to harvest, Sinahon said.

Voting for Top 10 Philippine Gems ends today; Biri rock formation ranks 6th
TACLOBAN CITY As voting for the Top 10 Philippine Gems ends today, Allan Cao, PwC director for markets and assurance, called on everyone to participate in the search for the emerging Philippine Gems. They can participate by making their choice of the sites they want to support and/or have marveled about by going to www.philippinegems. com/vote, Cao said. Philippine Gems is part of Isla Lipanas corporate social responsibility. Philippine Gems hopes to promote and further boost the countrys growing economy and aims to showcase the countrys pristine natural sceneries. According to their website, the search would further increase the awareness for these sites will foster both local and international interest and attention that may increase economic activity. Cao added that casting votes for the search will not only do well for the featured sites, but for our beloved country in general. The Department of Tourism (DOT) in Eastern Visayas has also called on the public to vote for Biri Island Rock Formation in Biri, Northern Samar in the Search for Top 10 Philippine Gems. The awesome rock formations have attracted both local and foreign tourists and it has to be preserved for the future generations to witness and enjoy. Tourism Director Karina Rosa Tiopes said that the agency is happy of the turnout of support from various sectors. From #15 and rising to #6 is an indication that many in Eastern Visayas did log on to vote, she said. The top 5 as of August 8, are more well-known destinations namely Calaguas Island, Lake Sebu, Caramoan, Tubattaha Reef and Batanes. Out voting any one of them is a big challenge. But then I trust that if we continue to ask for support, many of our kababayans and friends will vote, Tiopes said. According to Director Tiopes, the local governments of Biri and Northern Samar also embarked on an all-out campaign led by Governor Jun Ong. She said Gov. Ong calls for support via quad media and letters were sent to the LGUs, academe, socio civic organizations to rally them to vote. Tiopes would also like to acknowledge the help extended by the members of the Express It At the Park. The articles they wrote, radio, tv features and blogs are a big help to the campaign, she said. Tiopes made this appeal to our fellow Eastern Visayans who have not voted yet, please do. Lets bring Biri Rock Formation, Biri, Northern Samar to the top 5, if not, the top of the search for the top Philippine Gems, The Philippine Tourism Promotions Board of the DOT and the University of the Philippines Asian Institute of Tourism are also involved in the project. Josette Doctor, provincial tourism officer of Northern Samar, said they are very happy and excited that they were chosen as among the top Philippine gems. Were happy our icon destination that is Biri is included in the search. We have issued press releases via our provincial information office and daily radio plugs as well. Thank you to PWS Isla Lipana & Co for the promotion of our place, added Doctor. Two cathedral high

hese are rainy days and we do not know how many people are well prepared for it. We have seen in previous years the devastation of many farms during heavy rains. The destruction of crops will surely affect food supply in the next few months. We cannot expect too much come harvest time as many of our plants, especially rice which is our staple food, had been washed by the heavy rains and oods. There still will be harvest time no matter what, but the produce of our farms will surely be lean as plants were inundated. Rice that already started bearing healthy grains were suddenly washed out by the oods. If these are lean months where the supply of rice is low, causing prices of our staple food to rise almost on a daily basis, much more crisis is coming in the aftermath of the torrential rains. People must face the reality of an impending food shortage due mainly to the destruction of many plants, rice above all. But
with the current crisis we are in, it is quite difcult for many people to save enough for the leaner months that is sure to come. While we can foresee the effects of the ood that hit the region, many will be unable to nd means to prepare for such impending shortages in the supply of food and other basic needs. We truly need to revive the basic lessons demonstrated by ants, that small creature that shows unparalleled industry and diligence in gathering enough stocks for the rainy days. It is truly unfortunate that we tend to conveniently forget such lessons, setting on a happy-go-lucky lifestyle, if not total laziness to gather enough for the occurrence of rainy days. We have so much time to produce the basic needs we need during better times of the year. Unfortunately, we prefer to enjoy the times of bountiful harvest without saving enough for the days when we cannot earn due

My analysis, there may be truth in the intelligence report, but the reason for closing the embassies in countries suspected of harboring terrorist group is to evade issuing entry visa. Without visa the terrorist cannot enter U.S. mainland. The report may have been secured by embedded members of the different
intelligence organization of the U.S. government. While the U.S. intelligence units may have some of their people penetrated the Al Qaeda organization, the latter also may have people within the covert group.

Crossroads are like spikes in a rose. Most of us rise above them in our own creative and nifty ways; but some others keep sulking in dark nooks all their lives. Actually, these predicaments should be understood as trials to prove our resilience and survival. But take the radiance of your spirit, such predicaments fortifies our fervor that life is worth-living and great whatever the situations. If not, then we are no different from the animals without thinking and survival skills. Allow me to say that troubles are here to say. Just be happy and pro-
gressive. The only difference between a winner and a loser is the attitude one takes over obstacles. No need to say that all great leaders in the world had faced great hardships; to the point of losing their own lives. It was because of their persistence that they could come out of their mess and bounce back to a fighting fit situation. Indeed, buoyancy and exibility alone are not enough; one has to gain from ones mistakes and set out. So that the next time you fall, one stands aground with conviction and the self-esteem to do and surge

John Leonard Monterona, international coordinator of Filipino migrant rights group Migrante in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), has led fellow overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in raising serious doubt on the reported House Bill No. 191 by Pangasinan representative Rosemarie Arenas that proposes the creation of Department of Overseas Workers (DOW). If approved, Monterona said the DOW will directly handle the deployment and repatriation of OFWs. Yet Monterona believed that creation of a separate department for OFWs is only a smokescreen in an effort of the government to turn OWWA into a full blown national government agency (NGA) or a full blown government owned and controlled corporation (GOCC). We stand firm against
the proposal, referring to HB191, or to any other similar executive or legislative initiatives as its real intent is only to corner the now P15-B OFWs trust fund held in trust to the government care of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), Monterona stressed. Monterona reasoned out that transforming OWWA, a quasi-government corporation fully funded by OFWs membership contribution, into a NGA or GOCC will create a serious problem particularly on the nature of the OFWs funds held in trust to the government. Instead of creating a DOW, we reiterate our call for pro-OFWs OWWA charter that would be a product of intensive consultation among OFW OWWA-members; an OWWA charter that will strengthen the agency so that it can

This is evident in the proliferation of machines that our people love to croon to while away their time in the guise of leisure after work. We are caught with our inclination to be happy by our manifest preference for the videoke that eats money than buying tools of trade that produces money. These are fundamental reasons why we often fell yawning with empty bellies during rainy days.

commitment of the team to help the community they belong to. There is also a need to help the fisher-folks as they provide us our source of food, Dadap said. The DSWD also provides support services which includes livelihood assistance. They will be assessed in coordination with Sustainable Livelihood unit of the agency. Another support is educational assistance for the TeamBRE children. Initially, there were 15 children who benefited from the educational assistance last year. Starting August, 45 children are now considered. The financial assistance is based on their needs. For the tertiary level, they will be enrolled in the DSWD-Scala program, Dacilla said. TeamBre also adopts the cash-for-work scheme like when fisherfolks are displaced or needing assistance during lean months or typhoon months. The TeamBre program was conceptualized based on the call of President Benigno Simeon Aquino IIIs administration for a zero-casualty goal in times of disasters.

TACLOBAN CITY The National Electrification Administration, together with all the electric cooperatives (ECs) nationwide, is celebrating the National Electrification Awareness Month (NEAM) this August with the theme, Electricity: an Enabler in Improving Lives in the Countryside. NEAM is on its 4th year of celebration that corresponds to the 44th foundation anniversary of NEA. This celebration aims to create public awareness regarding on the status of electrification in the country especially in rural areas and emphasize the benefits of electricity in improving the socio-economic status of Filipinos. The agency serves as the leading government agency in the implementation of the Rural Electrification (RE) Program in the Philippines.
by the adage that is cessante ratione legis cessat ipsa lex, such power ought to cease too as the reason for the power has itself ceased. Lastly, and whether it will happen sooner or later too, that investigation may well be an effort of utter futility. Among others, one plausible law which may be hinted out of the proceedings that will ensue is the abolition of the pork barrel. The ludicrousness of that event ever happening is apparent from the fact that the issue is a catch 22. It really does not make any sense conducting an investigation with the end in view of passing a legislation which aims at blowing up the pork barrel to smithereens when it is the same pork which has been, at least for some or even most, the very force that drives a political candidate to win at all cost, come hell or high water, by hook or by crook. You might as well liken a law abolishing the pork as a noose which our legislators could hang themselves with. All these make you doubt the sincerity of Speaker Belmonte or any other solon aching for the conduct of an investigation over an issue which has once again sullied the repute of the already tarnished reputation of our lawmakers. But whether sincere or not, doing the investigation means doing their job. But why wait? What gives?
other build-up activities that would pursue the cause of the RE program. Leyte Electric Cooperative (Leyeco) II as one of the ECs in the region gives its support to the program and guarantees to continuously offer and extend their service to their clients. According to Edson Gavera Piczon of Leyeco II, the company is in its full effort to attain 100% electrification to their clients as part of the goal of the program.

both rhyme and reason for the lower house to wait for the conclusion of the NBI investigation before it could proceed with its own when its power to conduct it, technically termed as its power of inquiry in aid of legislation, proceeds independently of other investigations. Heck, it could well be regarded as grander than other forms of investigation even because one, that power prescinds from the Constitution, and second, it is unlike any conventional investigations because it has the end in view of proposing possible agenda for legislation, not of cooking up a possible case against the scoundrels. Second, whether it will happen sooner or later, precipitate or delayed, there is nothing much to be expected out of any investigations in aid of legislation that the lower house of Congress will conduct. They have ceased to be what they are supposed to achieve, i.e. to aid legislators in the passage of laws. They have instead become more of implements through which our congressmen are given the occasion to speak what they have not thought of, to ask what they themselves have not mulled over. They have ceased to become implements for legislation but have instead become instru-

line and sinker. They do not know there is no life after death. Death is the cessation of life. From dust we came to dust we return. If only the would be terrorist carefully scrutinize their belief, giving a second thought of giving away life for a nonexisting hope of living after death, this world of ours may be the better place to live. All of us have to search ourselves whether or not what we believe on or what we are taught by others was the truth. Try to stop for a moment and think over the teachings you have received from the onset of your life. Is it worthy to be alive? Is it worthy to be called a martyr? A wise one will surely think seventy seven times before giving up life in exchange of hope that is not real. Earth was made for men to live. People are not meant to die from creation. It is only the sin of Adam and Eve who ate the forbidden fruit. The temptation Satan, the devil, laid before their eyes caused all of us to inherit death. Death is an enemy. With-
out Adam and Eve following the false instruction of the devil could have made us to live without death, a life everlasting. We may be dying in the present system, but in the very near future, there will no more deaths nor crying as could be read in the Book of Revelation, chapter 21, verse 4. Terrorism may still be with us for few remaining days, but surely it will end. Chaos on earth is happening because it is one of the signs of the last days of this wicked world. You may think the end is still far away. Remember the written Word of God states the hour and day is unknown, but surely it will come at the hour and day we never think it will occur. The present untoward events should keep us all awake. The Almighty Creator of heaven and earth has given the signs and having it fulfilled to warn His beloved people of the coming change. Wish you take a look on the copy of your Holy Bible and ponder over the teachings and warnings for people to have the opportunity of seeing the days of terrorist gone.

Friday, 09 August 2013 NEWS DPWH-Southern Leyte completes DTI encourages job applicants P20-M Agas-agas bridge project
MAASIN CITY The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Southern Leyte Engineering District has completed the P20 million strengthening of the four-year old Agas Agas Bridge, the tallest of its kind in the country. DPWH Southern Leyte Assistant District Engineer Manolo Rojas said they have to build protection structures within the bridge foundation as moving waters had caused scouring, thus compromising the bridge integrity. We just completed last month the P20 million strengthening project for this year and we have proposed an additional P5 million for
2014, Rojas said. The proposed budget for next year will complete the last phase of bridge strengthening activities. Rushing rain waters and nearby springs has removed sediments such as sand and rocks from around bridge piers, which would cause tensional force if no measures will be done. The official said they have to prioritize the strengthening of the 1,000 feet tall Agas Agas bridge in Barangay Kahupian, Sogod, Southern Leyte since this is a vital structural link between Luzon and Mindanao. The 350-linear meter bridge, inaugurated in 2009, was seen as a permanent solution to Leyte, he would also make sure that even those in the small business sector would also benefit from his economic program, Petilla said. For one, he had task someone to look into how the provincial government could help those individuals who are selling local delicacies like the pastillas, a candy-like delicacy that is made from carabao milk that is made in Carigara town.

The P1.024 billion bridge was funded through a loan under the Japan International Cooperation Agency Official Development Assistance. The structure is a mix of steel and concrete materials supported by two long piers from the ground. The bridge area has a view deck, rest area, bituminous concrete surface course and bridge electrical provision. The bridge is also for its zipline established through public private partnership between the provincial government and some businessmen.

Of the six provinces, only Biliran posted output growth of 33% with 91,621 kgs. Other areas recorded production declines Eastern Samar, 171,625 kgs (60%); Northern Samar, 2.38 million kgs (57%); Samar, 296,445 kgs (53%); Southern Leyte, 432,375 kgs (34%); and Leyte, 2.44 million (6%). Sinahon noted that election period also contributed to the less harvest since some farmers rely on freebies from politicians to meet their needs and stopped working in farms. Politicians also hire abaca farmers to join in their campaign. Breaking down in months, the region had 962,248 kgs produce in January, 1.03 million kgs in February, 1.05 million kgs in March and 1.04 million kgs in April. From the one million kgs level, production decreased to 887,456 kgs in election month of May and 847,695 kgs in June. Given the limited resources, Sinahon said that their office is struggling to fight the disease that has been infesting Region 8 abaca farms for more than a decade

terested to apply, they were asked to see the provincial administrator Anita Taran.

Meningococcemia is an acute and potentially life-threatening infection of the blood stream caused by bacteria called Neisseria mengingitidis that frequently live in a persons upper respiratory tract without causing visible signs of illness and can be spread from person to person through droplets. Symptoms may include fever, rashes, headache, anxiety, irritability, muscle pain and nausea. DoH records showed the latest case of meningococcemia in Eastern Visayas was in 2011 where three people died from the disease. DoH said it will conduct an information drive on meningococcemia in public schools to assuage fears and stop undue panic among the populace because of the dreaded disease. (REYAN L. ARINTO)
