Region I police hold prayer vigil for HOPE 2010 SAN FERNANDO CITY - A prayer vigil was held at the police regional office here April 14 as part of the church and the PNP’s efforts to ensure honest, orderly and peacefull elections on May 10, 2010.

Spearheaded by Bishop Artemio Rillera of the Diocese of San Fernando City, Reverend Condrado Lumahan of the International Christian Mission, and PRO1 Regional Chaplain Police Superintendent Ronilo A. Datu, the prayer vigil, dubbed as “National Prayer for HOPE 2010,” was participated in by police personnel assigned at the PRO1 headquarters, the 1st Regional Public Safety Management Battalion (1st RPSMB), and nearby police provincial offices and municipal and city police stations.

Colonel Eduardo Collado, deputy commander of the Army’s 503rd Brigade, represented the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Rillera praised the PNP leadership for initiating the prayer vigil and the conduct of peace covenants even as he encouraged the police to trust and ask for God’s guidance in their mission to ensure that the upcoming elections will be successful.

Lumahan emphasized to the police the importance of prayer as “we need to look unto Him, pray for His guidance and divine intervention that there will be indeed honest, orderly, and peaceful elections next month.”

Meanwhile, PNP regional director Police Chief Supt.

According to the report, the SWS poll was conducted from March 28-30 and commissioned by a top Villar ally, House Minority leader Ronaldo Zamora.

Senate President Juan Ponce Ernile said yesterday that groups pressing for the election of the new Senate chief ahead of the May 10 polls want to gain control of the Senate when it sits together with the House of Representatives as the National Board of Canvassers.

The veteran legislator explained that those seeking to unseat him from the Senate presidency are dead set to install their own people in the national canvassing board and could be responsible for unfounded talks about possible failure of elections and a government takeover by a military junta if the country’s first automated polls fail.

Binay tops VP race in NCR, jumps ahead of rivals by 12 percent United Opposition (UNO) vice presidential candidate Jejomar C. Binay has taken a big 12-point leap over his rivals in the National Capital Region (NCR) in the latest survey, edging out previous front runner Mar Roxas.

Conducted between April 4 and 6, the survey showed Binay leading in the NCR with 39 percent of respondents, a big 12 percent jump over Roxas of the Liberal Party (LP) and Nacionalista Party (NP) aspirant Sen. Loren Legarda.

Significantly, the survey conducted by former Social Weather Stations (SWS) pollster Pedro Laylo Jr. and published in the Manila Standard, indicated that Binay was taking voters away from

both Roxas and Legarda since his gain came when the two contenders lost 7 percentage points each.

Binay’s performance is significant since the NCR is the barometer of the national political mood and registers one of the highest rates of voter participation during presidential and vice presidential elections.

NCR results also a guide to the choices of voters in the Lucena-Lingayen Corridor (LLC), which accounts for 40 percent of all voters in the country.

Binay may still win additional votes since the undecided voters jumped from 4 percent to 11 percent, a sizable

WITH THIS MLE TURN, NOW WE MAKE THE ROAD WHILE WALKING: OUR TASK AT NAKEM AND AT THE UH ILOKANO PROGRAM UNTIL 2015

By Dr. Aurelio Solver Agcaoili University of Hawaii We did not realize that our small acts of resistance at Nakem Conference, if you can call it this way, were acts that take their energy from other people doing the same thing for their own people and for others, such as Myles Horton for Highlander School, and Paulo Freire for his theory and practice of liberatory education, his ‘pedagogy of the oppressed.’ 14 We realized later on that this rendering of the sense of nation of the smaller ‘nations’ within a nation-state into something obsolete and unnecessary is a tactic of all nationstates to centralize and consolidate their full control of the personal and collective lives of their peoples, so that in their full control and consolidation, they can project that the life of their own nation-state has primordial value over the life of that nation-state’s constituent indigenous communities. Philippine historical narrative is replete with this official positioning, with Manuel Luiz Quezon preferring a Philippine nation run like hell by Filipinos to a Philippine nation run like heaven by other people but that nation that is in his mind was patterned after the 19th century nation-state of Europe particularly England, Germany, France, and Spain—nation-states all that consolidated power by invoking oneness minus plurality of cultural lives and that took up the task of implementing an officially sanctioned ‘national’ language.15 A Practice of Denial, A Practice of Confrontation What we have for long in the Philippines, even as we sanctified the

nation-state project and even as we give entitlements and privileges to other languages, is the continuing denial that this country, that this homeland, is not only the homeland of a few but a homeland of the many that is us, the many and varied ethnic groups—each individually unique— that are called Filipinos, yes the many that are called by other names such as Ilokanos, Cebuanos, Hiligaynons, Bicols, Kapampangan, Pangasinense, Chavacanos, Ivatans, Kalanguyas, and so forth.

It is this denial of our cultural and linguistic diversity that has set us into full speed in turning every one of us Filipinos first, with our cultural citizenship fully denied in lieu of that political citizenship. 1616 Aurelio Agcaoili, “ Studies of the Amianan: Towards the Production of Amianan Knowledge, A Critical Introduction,”in A. Agcaoili, ed., Nakem: Essays in Amianan Knowledge (Honolulu: UHM Ilokano Language and Literature Program, 2008).

And in that full speed—in that mad rush to ‘Filipinize’ us, we have taken to task the promoting and entitling and privileging of a ‘national’ language that we know—or least some of us know—was based on a lie, ‘a criminal act’17—and then leaving out each of our other—now systemically ‘othered’ languages in the cold, marginalized, calling them an obstacle to our unity and solidarity and progress. Some uninformed scholars even had the temerity to always look to Japan for some model of national language use as the engine for their economic growth

and development, forgetting that Japan, not as diverse as the Philippines culturally and linguistically, had to resort to tactics of assimilation, and thus, tactics of denial, to all other Japanese of nonJapanese cultural and linguistic orientation.

We know that this ideological orientation paved the way to an educational practice that reflected the political dynamics of nation-state making that did not take into full account the contributions of our diverse cultures and languages in the making of the political reality of a nation-state. We did not take into account as well that repression can never become the premise of a real democracy, one that articulates and makes as a key virtue the recognition of the absolute rights of people to freedom. What went out of service in the scheme of things is tolerance even as the practice of discrimination by the newly inaugurated Philippine nation-state went on full steam. We forgot that “the practice of discrimination belittles as much as brutalizes people.”18 In the institution of a national language—and in the establishment of an educational regime based on that assumption of a national language as the instrument for the making of people into political citizens—we instituted discrimination, legitimized it, and effectively forgot the virtue of tolerance, the very foundation of democracy, as it “teaches us to live with difference and learn from it, to live with those who are different without considering ourselves superior or inferior.”19 (To be continued)

Tawid News-Magasin

APRIL19-25, 2010 SUNDAY APRIL 25, 2010 4th Sunday of Easter Ps 100:1-2, 3, 5 We are his people, the sheep of his flock.

1st Reading: Acts 13:14, 43-52 Paul and Barnabas went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they entered the synagogue and sat down.

After that, when the assembly broke up, many Jews and devout God-fearing people followed them and to these they spoke, urging them to hold fast to the grace of God. The following Sabbath almost the entire city gathered to listen to Paul, who spoke a fairly long time about the Lord. But the presence of such a crowd made the Jews jealous. So they began to oppose with insults whatever Paul said.

Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out firmly, saying, “It was necessary that God’s word be first proclaimed to you, but since you now reject it and judge yourselves to be unworthy of eternal life, we turn to non-Jewish people. For thus we were commanded by the Lord: I have set you as a light to the pagan nations, so that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.”

Those who were not Jews rejoiced when they heard this and praised the message of the Lord, and all those destined for everlasting life believed in it. Thus the Word spread throughout the whole region.

Some of the Jews, however, incited God-fearing women of the upper class and the leading men of the city, as well, and stirred up an intense persecution against Paul and Barnabas. Finally they had them expelled from their region. The apostles shook the dust from their feet in protest against this people and went to Iconium, leaving the disciples filled with joy and Holy Spirit.

2nd Reading: Rev 7:9, 14b-17 After this I saw a great crowd, impossible to count, from every nation, race, people and tongue, standing before the throne and the Lamb, clothed in white, with palm branches in their hands.

I answered, “Sir, it is you who know this.”

The elder replied, “They are those who have come out of the great persecution; they have washed and made their clothes white in the blood of the Lamb.

This is why they stand before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his sanctuary.

He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

Never again will they suffer hunger or thirst or be burned by the sun or any scorching wind.

For the Lamb near the throne will be their Shepherd, and he will bring them to springs of life-giving water, and God will wipe away their tears.”

Gospel: Jn 10:27-30 “My sheep hear my voice and I know them; they follow me and I give them eternal life. They shall never perish and no one will ever steal them from me. What the Father has given me is above everything else and no one can snatch it from the Father’s hand.

I and the Father are one.”

Reflections “My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me.”

To be real followers of Jesus we must come to know Jesus, to become immersed in his word, to study the way he dealt with people, to make him the model of our own life. (Daily Gospel 2010, CLARETIAN PUBLICATIONS)

BALLAAG TI MAABBATANEN A RESERBA TI LANA ITI SANGALUBONGAN Ni Melvin Bandonil (MAUDI A PASET) Kangrunaan a motibo ti panangipasdek dagitoy a pagilian iti OPEC ti panangkontrolda iti presio ti petroleum. Ngem saan nga inayonan dagiti dadduma pay nga exporting countries a kas iti Egypt, Mexico, Oman, China, Malaysia ken Colombia daytoy panggep ti OPEC. Dagitoy a saan a kameng iti OPEC dagiti kangrunaan a players iti panaglakuan idinto ta kontrolado laeng dagiti OPEC members ti produksion ken lako.

Dimteng ti peak production dagiti kangrunaan a players a non-OPEC members.

Kiddawenda itan ti ingangato ti produksion ti OPEC members. Mayat ti OPEC nga ingato ti produksionda ngem iti nanginngina a presio. Agsipud ta bassiten ti reserves dagiti non-OPEC members, kapilitan nga immannugotda ket inkapilitan a gumatang ti

sangalubongan iti nangina a presio nga agtaud kadagiti OPEC members.

Iti panagpaso ti peak reserves ti lana dagiti nonOPEC members, inkabassitda ti produksionda tapno matimbeng ti panaglakoda. Agpaay laengen iti kasapulanda ti dakkel nga ilgat ti nabatbati kadagiti reserbada a lana.

Bassit laeng nga ilgat ti produksionda ti agpaay iti merkado. Daytoy ti rason a kadagiti naglabas a dekada nalaka pay laeng dagiti produkto ti petroleum. Ngem itan, awanen dagidi a panawen a nalaka ti gagatangen a petroleum ta agtaud a mismon kadagiti OPEC members ti dakkel a reserves a para lako iti merkado.

Ngem ti makapadakes, ilakoda dagitoy a reserves iti presio a kayatda iti merkado. Isu a nanginan dagiti produkto ti petroleum a kas iti gasolina, krudo ken dadduma pay.

Protektaran dagitoy oil producing countries ti reserbada iti

lana para iti bukodda nga usar.

Isu a kalpasan daytoy a tawen, mariknan ti yiirut ti produksion ti petroleum. Saan a masasaan a nasken nga alimonen dagiti pagilian nga agdepdepende unay iti lana ti nangato a presio no kayatda a saan a napaspas nga agsuek ti ekonomiada.

Dakkel la ketdi ti ited ti nangato unay a presio ti lana a komplikasion iti ekonomia dagitoy a nasion nga agdepende laeng iti lako a petroleum iti merkado a pakaibilangan dagiti third world countries a kas toy pagiliantayo.

Nariknatayon iti napalabas ti rigat a pinataud ti nangina unay ti presiona a produkto ti petroleo. Adu a pagilian ti nagsuek ti ekonomiada gapu iti nangina unay a gatangenda a petroleo nga aramatenda iti pannakaipataray dagiti planta, negosio ken iti inaldaw a panagbiag dagiti umili. No nangato unay ti presio ti petroleo, nasipnget ti masakbayan dagiti pagilian nga

agdepdepende unay kadagiti produkto ti petroleo. Ngem adadda pay a nalidem ti senario no dumteng ti panawen nga aggiinnagawen dagiti pagilian iti nakiddit a lako a produkto ti petroleo. Dakkel pay ti posibilidadna a rauten dagiti dadakkel a pagilian dagiti oil producing countries tapno laeng agtuloy ti panagtaray dagiti pamastrekanna. Iti moderno a panawen, posible a daytoy ti puon ti pakaungawan ti lubong!

Bimmassiten dagiti para lako iti merkado a produksion.

Ket dumtengto ti aldaw a naibuston amin a reserves iti sangalubongan. No adda nabatbati, bukod nga usar laengen dagiti addaan oil reserves.

Daytoy ita ti dakkel a ballaag a nasken a masolusion sakbay a dumteng dayta a panawen nga awanen ti tagilako.

“With a +/- 2 percent margin of error, the 1 percent gain of Villar is virtually insignificant contrary to the mega-hype trumpeted by the NP,” Pangilinan said.

“One must also not be misled by the comparison made by one of their spokesperson between the results of the SWS and

earlier one done by Pulse Asia to show Sen. Villar gaining not 1 but 4 percent,” he said.

There are obviously differences in methodology and design, as well as number of respondents, between the SWS and Pulse Asia surveys, the LP leader said.

Pangilinan pointed out that confirmation of the widening lead of Sen. Noynoy Aquino by the Zamora-funded poll appears to have instigated the intensified black propaganda

operations of the Villar camp after the Holy Week break in the campaign.

He said: “Our opponents should realize that no amount of dirty tricks can stop the people’s desire for honesty in government and genuine change, as seen in the outpouring of support for the Aquino-Roxas team and the LP senatorial slate.”#

JPE: DETRACTORS... (From page 1) presidente kaya gusto nilang hawakan ang Senate president,” Enrile, told a radio interview in Cotabato City.

“Gusto nila tao nila ‘yon.

Gusto nila makontrol nila ‘yon.

Gusto nila puppet nila,” added Enrile, who is running for reelection under the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP).

Enrile identified the political party of a presidential candidate which is behind the plot to oust him by pushing for the selection of the new Senate chief before the May electoral exercise and sowing fear and confusion among the people that there will be a power and leadership vacuum.

“Alam ko sa karamihan diyan ay kapangkat ng isang candidate for president na sabik hawakan ang Malacanang,” he said, “Sila ang nagpapaandar niyan at nananakot.”

Enrile assured the Filipino people though that these attempts will be thwarted and that winners in various electoral contests, particularly those in the constitutional line of succession, will be proclaimed.

“Ako ay 44 na taon nang naglilingkod sa bayan. Huwag po kayong matakot,” Enrile said. “Pananakot lang ‘yan at panlilito sa bayan at ginugulo lang ang isipan ng taumbayan.”#

BINAY TOPS VP RACE... (From page 1) number in a political contest where three contenders are vying for support.

The survey came at a time when Roxas and Legarda were bickering in media while Binay was harping on issues. During the survey period, Binay questioned the plan to impose value added tax on tollway fees and the proposal of the Department of Finance (DoF) to raise the expanded value added tax (EVAT) to 15 percent.

The survey involved 2,500 nationwide. It had a margin of error of 2 percent.

The newspaper survey followed the release of survey results by SWS and Pulse Asia, both of which showed the Makati City mayor and running mate of former President Joseph Estrada gaining on Legarda and Roxas.

As early as the March 2128 survey of Pulse Asia, it has been established that Binay

was going strong in the CDE classes, with the wellpublicized Roxas leading him marginally in these classes.

The same survey found that Binay only slightly behind Roxas in the NCR. Moreover, Pulse Asia said that compared to the February 2010 survey figures, Binay advanced to 19 percent from 15 percent, Legarda lost ground, dropping to 23 percent from 27 percent. In contrast, Roxas’ rating was virtually unchanged.

The Businessworld-SWS survey of March 19-22 showed Roxas with 42 percent, Legarda with 25 percent and Binay with 21 percent.

Binay gained 4 points compared to the February 2428 survey of BusinessWorldSWS, Legarda’s lead over Binay dropped from 11 points to 4 points. Binay also narrowed down the lead of Roxas to 21 percent.#
