Lenten season (tobacco syndrome) myth broken

TOBACCO grower uses his horse to speed up harvesting his Virginia tobacco leaves to catch the very good price. Top grade ( Class AA) tobacco is being bought at P90 a kilo which is way up the P61 a kilo pegged during the Tripartite agreement between and among tobacco farmers (farmers' sector), the cigarette manufacturers (buyers' sector) and the National Tobacco Administration (government). (LEONCIO BALBIN, JR.)

CANDON CITY, Ilocos SurThe Lenten season is always a nightmare to tobacco growers.

Like Jesus Christ they suffer.

They feel the whip of the crashing of tobacco prices after the Lenten break which they even dubbed as tobacco syndrome. The tobacco prices are cut as low as half.

This year the ‘sufferings’ or tobacco syndromes are gone.

Thanks to the steady demand of tobacco from the tobacco companies.

“This is the best year of tobacco so far,” Tobacco buyer David Wagayen said.

Wagayen, a 17-year tobacco buyer, said that the trading centers’ continuous demand for tobacco is keeping the

prices intact.

The week long Lenten break was always the signal of downfall of prices of tobacco.

Tobacco traders usually have met their quota for the cigarette companies and cut down the prices to half.

The quality of tobacco also decline because the available green leaves are those at the middle or top stalks which are lesser in quality.

Wagayen said that his highest purchase for top grade tobacco ( Grade AA) this year reached P100 per kilo with the lowest at 60 for the reject grade. The prices are staggering compared to the floor prices being applied this PAGE 6

EDITORIAL Tapno matuntonanda ti hustisia Itay nabiit, pinalagipan ti Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) ti opisina ti provincial prosecutor iti maysa a probinsia iti Nagtengnga a Luzon ti saanda a panang-require kadagiti indigent nga umili nga agbayad iti fee no agipilada iti kaso.

Segun iti nasao nga opisial ti PAO, adda memorandum circular a naggapu iti Department of Justice a mangibilbilin kadagiti amin a city ken provincial prosecutors nga exempted dagiti indigent a complainants nga agbayad iti fees para iti panagipilada iti kaso.

Nagramut daytoy a tignay ti PAO gapu iti report ti maysa nga abogadoda nga adda sumagmamano a provincial prosecutors a saan a sumursurot iti nasao a memorandum circular ti DOJ. Kas intuding ti R.A. 9406, entitled dagiti marigrigat nga umili a kliente ti ahensia iti exemption nga agbayad iti docket fee ken sabsabali pay a bayad nga adda pakainaiganna iti panagipilada iti kaso iti korte wenno sabali pay a quasi-judicial bodies.

No naikkanen ti litigante iti sertipiko manipud iti PAO a maysa nga indigent, mabalindan ti agipila iti kaso nga awan ti bayadanda a docket fees, segun pay iti Memorandum Circular No. 18 series of 2000 ti PAO. Suportaranmi daytoy nga addang ti PAO agsipud ta mamatikami a rumbeng a maikkan amin dagiti tattao, nangruna dagiti marigrigat iti patas a pannakaipakat iti hustisia.

Saan a mailibak nga adu a marigrigat a nailidding dagiti kalinteganda ket kayatda ti kumamang iti korte tapno maikkan iti maitutop a pannusa dagiti nangrabngis iti kalinteganda.

Ngem kasapulanda ti kuarta a pagbayad iti abogado tapno agkuti ti ipilada a kaso tapno matuntonanna ti hustisia. Daytoy ti naipaakem iti PAO, ti mangited iti libre a serbisio kadagiti indigent a litigante.

Saan a mailibak a gapu iti kadakkel ti magastos ti litigant no agipila iti kaso iti korte, adu a marigrigat ti agsanud piman wenno siulimekda lattan a sagabaen ti pannakaidadanes ti kalintegan ken dayawda. Saan met a mailibak nga adda latta dagiti di agpangadua a mangrabngis iti kalintegan dagiti babassitan agsipud ta adda kuartada a pagbayadda iti dekalibre nga abogado a mangdepensa kadakuada no adda kaso a maisaklang maikontra kadakuada iti korte.

Agdadata a bangking ti hustisia. Ket masansan a daytoy ti kangrunaan a gapu a mangiduron iti marigrigat a kumpet iti uray patadem tapno maikkan iti hustisia nga agtungpal iti ad-adda pay a pakaisagmakanna.

Rumbeng laeng a sumurot dagiti provincial prosecutors iti pammilin ti DOJ a dida pagbayaden dagiti indigent litigants iti docket fees no agipilada iti kaso.

Saanda koma a pespesen dagiti marigrigat iti panangtuntonda iti hustisia.

Makurkurangan la ngaruden dagitoy iti pinansial a kasapulan, di maikanatad a maipaidam pay kadakuada ti kalinteganda a maikkan iti naan-anay a hustisia.#

MAY 4-10, 2009 SUNDAY MAY 10, 2009 5th Sunday of Easter Ps 22:26a-27, 28, 30, 31-32 I will praise you Lord, in the assembly of your people.

1 st Reading: Acts 9:26-31 When Saul came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples there, but they were afraid of him because they could not believe that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He recounted to them how Saul had seen the Lord on his way and the words the Lord had spoken to him. He told them also how Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

Then Saul began to live with them. He moved about freely in Jerusalem and preached openly in the name of the Lord. He also spoke to the Hellenists and argued with them, but they wanted to kill him. When the believers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.

Meanwhile, the Church had peace. It was building up throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria with eyes turned to the Lord and filled with comfort from the Holy Spirit.

2 nd Reading: 1 Jn 3:1-2 My dear children, let us love not only with words and with our lips, but in truth and in deed.

Then we shall know that we are of the truth and we may calm our conscience in his presence. Every time it reproaches us, let us say: God is greater than our conscience, and he knows everything.

When our conscience does not condemn us, dear friends, we may have complete confidence in God. Then whatever we ask we shall receive, since we keep his commands and do what pleases him.

His command is that we believe in the Name of his Son Jesus Christ and that we love one another, as he has commanded us.

Whoever keeps his commands remains in God and God in him. It is by the Spirit God has given us that we know he lives in us.

Gospel: Jn 15:1-8 Jesus said to his disciples, “I am the true vine and my Father is the vinegrower. If any of my branches doesn’t bear fruit, he breaks it off; and he prunes every branch that does bear fruit, that it may bear even more fruit.

“You are already made clean by the word I have spoken to you; live in me as I live in you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself but has to remain part of the vine; so neither can you if you don’t remain in me.

“I am the vine and you are the branches. As long as you remain in me and I in you, you bear much fruit; but apart from me you can do nothing.

Whoever does not remain in me is thrown away as they do with branches and they wither. Then they are gathered and thrown into the fire and burned.

“If you remain in me and my words in you, you may ask whatever you want and it will be given to you. My Father is glorified when you bear much fruit: it is then that you become my disciples.”

Reflections The Lord Jesus comes so that we might have life and have it the full.

He draws us into a relationship with Him that is as life-giving as the relationship between a vine and its branches. For when we are connected to Jesus through the sacraments of the Church we experience blessings beyond measure. We find in this relationship comfort in distress, safety in times of trouble and solace in moments of woe. So, too, do we experience the joy of bearing him His name the good fruit of stewardship and evangelization, truly making a positive difference in the world and leading others closer to the Kingdom.

May we always be grateful for this close connection with the Lord Jesus, made possible only through His saving death and glorious resurrection. In Him do we have life. Through Him do we experience the joy and peace that this world cannot provide. (Daily Gospel 2009, CLARETIAN PUBLICATIONS)

OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKERS BEAR DEBTS AS CRISIS HITS LABOR-IMPORTING ECONOMICS

By Jeremaiah M. Opiniano and Isagani De La Paz (First of two parts) MAKATI CITY, Philippines - RAMONES Caytiles’s stint in Taiwan is as short as the song-length of his namesake American punk rock band: two weeks.

But nearly six months now since he and 171 fellow workers got pink slips last year from their employer Hanston Display Corp., Caytiles feels life is as long as Don Maclean’s American Pie song.

It was the nineteenth of November, Caytiles recalls, when their music –the crinkle of New Taiwan dollar– died.

When we arrived in Taiwan, we borrowed money to pay fees to a broker who paid for our travel, Caytiles said adding such was the standard process for workers trying their luck outside the Philippines.

He and five other OFWs sent back after LCD manufacturer Hanston downsized are now saddled with that debt from Taiwan-based lending agencies eCash and Paylite Financing.

Caytiles said they were focused on working and earning they didn’t think the Kaohhiung, Taiwan LCD manufacturer would get hit by the economic catatonia

seeping from the United States.

And if it did, he said they didn’t expect the time between working in Taiwan and getting laid-off would be that fast.

“You left the country riddled with debt, and then you came back home still saddled with debt—causing an even bigger problem,” said Caytiles, a single parent (his wife left him and his daughter some years ago).

Caytiles’s fate marks the lives of millions of OFWs in laborimporting countries whose real sectors are getting hit by the collapse of the global financial system that began in the US housing sector.

So says economists like former budget secretary Benjamin Diokno.

Diokno has become a prophet of doom since the start of the year, noting that May would be the month countries in Asia like the Philippines would feel the impact of the financial crisis that has coursed through the so-called “transmission channels.”

One of these channels, credit lines, has plugged lending to the electronics export industry, a flagship for most Asian economies like the Philippines.

Grim reaper

IN HIS presentation to journalists last March, Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Inc. (SEIPI) president Ernesto B. Santiago presented a grim outlook on worldwide industrial production as traditional lending windows shutter.

Santiago ticked off global companies announcing they were affected by the downturn in consumer electronics downturn: Sony (to shed 8,000 jobs); Philips (6,000); NEC (20,000); Panasonic (15,000); Pioneer (10,000); IBM (2,800); TDK (8,000); Nokia (2,500); Motorola (13,000); Sprint Nextel (8,000); and AT&T (12,000).

Closer to home, the closure of Intel Corp.’s Cavite manufacturing by May would see thousands of Filipinos losing a steady source of income.

“Countries that are heavily dependent on electronics have been the worst affected (notably the NIEs, Philippines, and Malaysia, but also China), followed by commodity exporters (notably Indonesia, Lao, Malaysia, Mongolia, PNG and Vietnam), exporters of capital equipment (all NIEs) and the garment manufacturers,” a recent World Bank report said.

“There will be higher

unemployment abroad and here at home,” Diokno said, “and this means less jobs, less jobs, and less jobs.”

Caytiles said he was imagining kicking himself in the back while listening to Diokno.

“I think before workers should go overseas, they should know the situation that is happening –or if their employer is still steady,” Caytiles’s colleague Elwood Yambao said.

The father of two based in Olongapo City, which hosted an American air base a century ago, said that knowledge he could’ve gotten by reading newspapers.

But the overseas labor market is tough enough, and when potential OFWs like Yambao do access news sources, it’s for securing work.

That is still in their minds right now, according to Yambao, because they are hounded by their lenders of their debts amounting to between P60,000 (US$1,250) and P80,000 ($1,667) each.

He said they filed a case against their agency to at least get back the placement fees they paid for work contracts in Taiwan.
