EDITORIAL Dakkel a karit iti baro nga AFP Chief of Staff Iti panangallawat ni Lt. Gen. Eduardo Oban, Jr. iti responsibilidadna kas kabarbaro nga Armed Forces chief of staff, dakkel a pagrebbengan ti naipabaklay kenkuana iti sanguanan dagiti eskandalo a mapapati a nakaisawsawan dagiti immuna kenkuana a nangidaulo iti AFP. Saan a mailibak a nagunggon ti natibker a pundasion ti armada a puersa ti pagilian gapu kadagiti alegasion ti pasarabo ken pabalon kadagiti mapili ken agretiro a chief of staff ti AFP.

Kinapudnona, maal-alimadmaden iti kallabes dagiti saan a makaay-ayo a mapaspasamak iti Armed Forces of the Philippines ngem nagpatinggada laeng iti sayangguseng.

Ipetpetteng dagiti naggiggem iti pondo ti AFP nga awan ti uging kadagiti imada iti baet a sabali ti ipadpaduyakyak dagiti dadakkel a depositoda iti bangko ken dagiti dadakkel a balayda ditoy pagilian ken iti ballasiw-taaw.

AGPALO 12345678901234567890123456789012 Nabileg dagiti Balikas (MAUDI A PASET)

Iti kapanunotantayo, mabalin daytoy a proseso tapno maliklikan ti nakana unay a susik ken saan a panagkikinnaawatan. Nabileg unay ti balikas.

Adu metten dagiti nabasbasatayo a koleksion dagiti ababa a sarita, a nagaramatan ti/ dagiti editor iti footnote a kas panangilawlawag iti balikas a mapagduduaan wenno mangipaay iti nauneg nga interpretasion iti agbasbasa. Gagangay a basaentayo pay nga umuna ti footnote(s) sakbay nga ituloytayo ti basbasaentayo tapno nalawlawag ti intay pannakaawat.

Naaramid pay a kas pelikula ken naipatarus iti nadumaduma a lengguahe, pakairamanan ti Tagalog, ti nasao a nobela ni Mark Twain. Ti ABS-CBN ti nangiserye iti nobela idi pakpakauna ti 1990s.

Kadagidi a panawen, agsursurattayon kadagiti radio drama scripts ken dagiti anunsio.

Bassit pay laeng ti buridekmi, saan pay nga agiskuela.

Tapno nawayaak a makasurat ken makaimakinilia iti maysa

wenno dua nga script sakbay ti panagluluto, lukatak ti telebision ket il-illekanto metten ni buridek ni Huckleberry Finn.

No maminsan, nabileg unay ti balikas. Baliwanna dagiti panirigan ken pammati. Ngamin, ti kapanunotan ti sabali ket saan nga isu ti kapanunotan ti sabali uray no sangsangkamaysa ti ideada.

Ngem nakarkaro ti epekto ti balikas no maibilang a panangibaba iti puli a kas iti pannakabaliw dagiti sumagmamano a balikas iti nobela ni Mark Twain.

Nababa la unay kadagiti nangisit ti balikas a ‘nigger’.

Saan a maitutop kadakuada.

Maapektaranda wenno dakkel ti epektona kadakuada dayta a balikas. Makasugkar. Ta kas kunatayo, nabileg unay ti balikas. Uray ti balikas nga ‘injun’ wenno Indian American ti nalawag a kaitutopanna.

Panggepda a sukatan dayta ‘nigger’ iti nalaglag-an a balikas ken panagdengngeg kas iti ‘slave’ tapno maikkat ti makasugkar a rikna dagiti maseknan.

Ti kangrunaan a rason a kunada: “To delete the word “nigger” from its 200-plus

appearances in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, and replace it with “slave,” is to evade the problem of education. It is to falsify a word as a precondition for teaching about it.”

Insungbat met dagiti komuntra: “There are vast differences between calling a character “nigger” and calling them “slave.” They are not interchangeable.

Writers choose their words thoughtfully. Our words create, color, layer and texture and contextualize the stories we tell. The notion that one can change one of those carefully chosen words -- much less 219 of them -- to suit their perception of contemporary mores and eliminate the possibility of hurt sensibilities is an abdication of a teacher’s responsibility to illuminate and guide students through an unfamiliar and perhaps difficult text. What’s next? Substituting orange for red in a painter’s work because some observers find red too aggressive?”

Adda dagiti balikas a nalagan iti maysa a puli ngem nadagsen met iti sabali. Saan

nga agpapada ti panagsaadda.

Uray kadatayo, adda balikas a nalag-an iti sabali nga ili, idinto a nadagsen iti sabali nga ili.

Kas ti balikas a ‘letse’ wenno ‘litsi’ iti probinsia ti Ilocos Sur, wenno kunaentayo laengen iti ilimi a Narvacan, nadagsen unay dayta a sumrek iti lapayag. Dayyegenna ti utek. Maysa a balikas iti panagunget, makaunget, manglais, mangibaba ken dadduma pay a negatibo a pakaiturongan.

Ngem iti La Union, maysa laengen a gagangay a balikas ti ‘letse’ wenno ‘litsi’, nakalaglag-an a sumrek iti lapayag, ta maibilang dayta a balikas a kas maysa nga ekspresion wenno arkos dagiti isawang.

No mapasamak kadatayo nga Ilokano, kas maymaysa a puli ni Kayumanggi, anianto la ketdin a saan a mapasamak dayta a banag kadagiti saan nga agkapuli, ti puraw ken ti nangisit?

Nadagsen unay a sumrek iti lapayag ti balikas a ‘nigger’ kadagiti nangisit a puli. Dayyegenna ti utek. Maysa a balikas ti panagunget, makaunget, manglais, mangibaba iti kinaasino ken dadduma pay a negatibo a pakaiturongan.

Nalaglag-an no maaramat ti balikas nga ‘slave.’

Agpada nga ayonanmi dagiti rason dagiti dua nga agkasungani. Awan ti tuduenmi nga al-alaenmi. Isu a ipaganetgetmi a masurotan koma dagiti agkasungani a partido ti kapkapnekan ti tunggal maysa.#

MAR. 14-20, 2011 SUNDAY MARCH 20, 2011 2nd Sunday of Lent Ps 33:4-5, 18-19, 20, 22 Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.

1st Reading: Gen 12:1-4a Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, your family and your father’s house, for the land I will show you. I will make you a great region. I will bless you and make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses, I will curse, and in you all peoples of the earth will be blessed.”

2nd Reading: 2 Tim 1:8b-10 Dear brothers and sisters, do your share in laboring for the Gospel with the strength of God. He saved us and called us--a calling which proceeds from his holiness.

This did not depend on our merits, but on his generosity and his own initiative. This calling given to us from all time in Christ Jesus has just been manifested with the glorious appearance of Christ Jesus, our Lord, who destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light in his Gospel.

SECTION 1. TITLE. This ordinance shall be known as “An Ordinance amending Chapter III, Article E, Section 147 (a) (i), Article L, Section 178, Article M, Section 183 (a), Article N, Section 186 (a), (c), (d), and Chapter IV, Article C, Section 257 of the Vigan Revenue Code.

Gospel: Mt 17:1-9 Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain where they were alone. Jesus’ appearance has changed before them: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became bright as light. Just then Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

Peter spoke and said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

Peter was still speaking when a bright cloud covered them in its shadow, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the beloved, my Chosen One. Listen to him.”

On hearing the voice, the disciples fell to the ground, full of fear. But Jesus came, touched them and said, “Stand up, do not be afraid.” When they raised their eyes, they no longer saw anyone except Jesus. And as they came down the mountain, Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what they had just seen, until the Son of Man be raised from the dead.

SECTION 3. The itemized schedule of fees shall be as follows:

Based on the ratio of diaspora saving to these four countries’ GDP and domestic savings, the Philippines stands out among the four countries with 13 percent of GDP and 84 percent of domestic savings.

If the US$21.1 billion estimate holds, the amount is bigger than the US$17.348 billion of cash remittances sent by some 8.5 million overseas Filipinos to the country in 2009.

The estimated Filipino diaspora savings is just above a third of the country’s 2010 gross international reserves (GIR) which stood at US$62.371 billion, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas data show.

However, in the BSP’s quarterly Consumer Expectations Survey, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) allocating their remittances to investment cannot catch up with the rising number of OFWs who are saving.

As of CES’s end-2010 result, some 5.8 percent of OFWs set aside their remittances for investment while 43.7 percent of OFWs save their overseas earnings.

In contrast, remittances for debt payments reached 49.8 percent in this same survey round of the CE Survey.

Some 2.8 percent of the survey’s OFW respondents within the National Capital Region use their remittances for investment, says fourthquarter 2010 results. In contrast, 9.5 percent of respondents outside of NCR invest their remittances.

The Philippines, as a whole, has a low domestic savings rate of 15.6, says 2009 data coming from the Asian Development Bank.

The WB Migration and Remittances unit’s “Migration and Development Brief” estimated diaspora savings based on data of “bilateral migrant stocks for 2010” and “assumptions about migrant incomes.”

Ratha and Mohapatra’s estimates sought to determine the size of savings of overseas migrants to gauge the potential market for so-called “diaspora bonds.”

The Philippine government already tested such investment instrument when the Department of Finance floated “OFW bonds” last year, raising some US$346 million in funds. A fifth of those bonds were offered to retail buyers, i.e. OFWs or OFW relatives.

Given such potential, Ang thinks local governments must adjust their areas’ investment climate to accommodate the investment appetite of overseas townmates.

“The question is how ready rural birthplaces of overseas Filipinos are to become hubs of migrant investment should overseas townmates decide to park their money there.”

Ang’s research unit at the University of Santo Tomas is soon piloting a research tool to help overseas Filipinos from two fourth-class rural municipalities to determine investment opportunities in local communities.#

Agalasdiesen iti sardam.

Nakatugaw iti paramaysa a sopa iti nadaeg a salas. Napanunotna a panawen metten nga agawid. Nasken nga agpakadan. Agsalsalan dagiti puraw a kurtina dagiti silulukat a tawa babaen ti nalamiis a pug-aw ti kasalengan.

Agalasiete iti nakuyemmakatudtudo a sardam idi nagpa-Tagaytay da Joel ken Hazel ta sadiayda nga aghoneymoon. Inyopreser ni Mang Brando ti nalabbaga a RAV4 a luganna nga usaren dagiti dua. Ta kas kunana, narigat ti agpasiar nga awan luganna. Total, ammoda a pareho ti agmaneho.

Timmakder idi makitana nga agpasalas ni Manang Lilia a naggapu iti kusina.

Minatmatanna. Napintas pay, uray no agedaddan nga agpada iti uppat a dies ket kagudua. Ita laeng manen a maibayagna a matmatan ni Manang Lilia. Iti kallabes, saanna a maibayag a perngen ni Manang Lilia. Ita laeng manen nga agtungtongda a dua. Ita laeng nga aldaw – wenno nagmalem ken ita a sardam laeng manen nga agsabat dagiti matada. A naginnisemda. A nagkinnatawada. A naginnangawda.

“A, e, a-agpakadaak metten…” nakuna ni Mang Brando ngem dina insina dagiti matana ken ni Manang Lilia.

Nalamiis ti sang-aw ti kasalengan ngem nabara ti anges ni Mang Brando. Nalam-ek ti aplaw ti angin, ngem nabara ti bagi ni Mang Brando.

“Agyamanak met kenka ta dimo impaidam kaniak daydiay a gundaway.”

“Apay koma nga ipaidamko, no isu dayta ti kalikagum ni Hazel ken Joel? Saanko a mapagkedkedan ida iti kallaysada.”

Kayat koma pay ni Mang Brando ti sumao, ngem awan ti maarikapna a balikas. Dina ammo no apay a kellaat a nagpasugnod dagiti balikas.

“Wen, ammok dayta. Ngem iti kaanoman, saankayo a baybay-an nga annakko. Umayka, iti likud, darsem sakbay a magabay ti amin. Magnata iti tawa…”

No nakarikepen ti ridaw, adda pay laeng ti tawa a sumrekan. Kasta ti pammateg ti Ina a Nainlangitan kadagiti annakna.

Pasikenen ti debosion ti pammati. Saan a mailawlawag no apay. Maysa a nauneg a misterio. Misterio a ti laeng Nailangitan nga Ina ti makalansad!#

residente iti nadakamat a barangay, iti dalanna nga aggawid idi pinaltogan ti saan pay a nabigbig a tao a nakasugatanna iti likud ti ulona.

Naitaray ti biktima iti Bessang Pass Memorial Hos-

pital iti Cervantes, sa naiyakar iti Lorma Hospital iti San Fernando City.

Madama ti panagpalutpot dagiti inbestigador no sino ti nangisayangkat iti pammaltog ken no ania ti motibo.#
