PNP Regional Director Balba turned over high frequency radios to different police units
PALO, Leyte – The communication capabilities of the police officers assigned in the field here in the region is boosted with the turnover of 41 units of high frequency radios by the Police Regional Office (PRO-8) based in Camp Ruperto K Kangleon, this town. Police Brigadier General Bernabe Balba, police regional director, told reporters in an interview that his office has turned over 41 units of high frequency radios to different units in Eastern Visayas held at PRO-8 grandstand spearheaded by Police Major Marciano Tuballas, acting chief, Regional Communications and Electronics Unit (RCEU) last on June 29. Balba said that the 41 units include 27 units Codan high frequen-

Moreover, Regional Tactical Operations Cen-
ter (RTOC), Aviation Security Unit 8 (AVSEU8), Maritime Group (MG) and RCEU8 were also included as recipients of the said communication equipment. Balba explained that the said units will also be utilized in the Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP), a multi-stakeholder and community-based peace and development effort aimed to establish and protect a conflict-affected community especially in Samar provinces where armed-conflict groups are present. “I humbly ask all the recipients for the proper handling and care of these high frequency radios. Please use it well and with utmost care as it is integral in our day to day functions as Police Officers,” Balba said. (RESTITUTO A. CAYUBIT)
Health exec says swab testing all LSIs is resource draining; suggest of placing them in isolation facility instead TACLOBAN CITY – Subjecting all arriving locally stranded individuals (LSIs) to swab test is resource draining. Instead these returning LSIs should be immediately isolated or quarantined by their respective local government units, Roderick Boyd Cerro, sentinel nurse and chief of the Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit of the Department of Health(DOH-8), said. The spike of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) cases of the region was largely attributed to the massive arrivals of the LSIs as well as those who have availed of the Balik Probinsiya program and returning overseas workers. Of the 563 confirmed COVID-19 cases of the region, more than half of them were LSIs. “We have sufficient evidence that these returning residents are infected. Testing them is resource draining. We need huge amount of resources if we will test them all,”Cerro said.
“These returning LSIs, upon their arrival, should be immediately quarantined for 14 days. We don’t need to test them, we’ll just consider them as infected. This way, our resources would not be exhausted and better used for testing for local transmission which is far more dangerous,” the health official added. The return of the LSIs to Eastern Visayas was temporary halted by the government through a resolution of the National Inter-Agency on COVID-19. This after the region’s lawmakers and mayors, particularly from Leyte, seeking for a temporary stop of their return to their hometowns. Mayors have also complained that their limited resources are also being drained with the return of these individuals as they have to maintain the quarantine facility and provide them their daily meals. Cerro added that they already made an appeal to local officials to stop subjecting the returning residents for
RT-PCR test but instead immediately isolate them in a facility for 14 days. As of Friday, the region has about 563 COVID-19 cases. (ROEL T. AMAZONA)

Northern Samar illegal cutting of trees declines; P8.4 million lumber confiscated TACLOBAN CITY – The illegal cutting of trees in the first district of Northern Samar has declined to a negligible level. Thus declared Rep. Paul Daza of the first congressional district of the province in a mobile phone interview with Leyte Samar Daily Express said that the series of operations conducted by the authorities on the timber poaching in the early part of this year have resulted to the decline of the illegal cutting of trees in his district. Rep. Daza said that the efforts and accomplishments of the law enforcers to stop the illegal cutting of trees in his district is commendable as he declared that one of his advocacies is the protection and conservation of the environment. The solon explained that in his advocacy for the protection and conservation of the environment, he just wants to protect the people in his district from floods and landslides and other devastations brought about by calamities which are blamed on environmental destruction and degradation. It was learned that the intermittent timber

Records at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources regional office 8 (DENR-8) based in Tacloban City disclosed that the series of operations conducted by the authorities from the month of April, 2020 to early part of this month of June has resulted to the confiscation of more than 165,000 board feet of assorted sizes of lumber with an estimated value of P8.4 million in the municipality of San Isidro and its nearby areas. Daza said that residents in his district have blamed rampant illegal cutting of trees for the massive flood-
ing during typhoons for the past years resulting in deaths and agricultural destruction in the province of Northern Samar. It can be recalled that the House of Representatives has conducted an investigation last January 2019 on the reported rampant illegal logging in the provinces of Samar and Northern Samar. The illegal cutting of trees was blamed on the massive flooding and landslides at the height of Typhoon ‘Usman’ on December 28, 2018. There were eight people who died in Northern Samar and five people in Samar during the fury of Usman. (RESTITUTO A. CAYUBIT)

Still on Illegal Drug Proliferation When will this illegal drug menace end in our country. It appears that illegal drugs will remain a threat to the health of Filipinos, most specially our young ones. Peace loving citizens of
our land wonder, coupled with frustrations, even anger why this illegal drug problem has not been solved by this administration. Raids that have been conducted by the Philippine Drug Enforcement
distancing and maintain cleanliness – take a bath daily and wash hands often. And the best defense is sincere prayers to Almighty God the owner of our human lives. Pray to God Almighty in the name of JESUS CHRIST, His Son, our Lord and Saviour that those who are presently trying to discover cures and medicine to produce them soonest. At the moment there are already produced medicines but they are still being tried and tested. Do not be afraid of this COVID-19. This will soon pass away. Think positive. Agency (PDEA) and other peace and order agencies always reveal that results of their raids in the reported drug dens confiscated drugs cost millions of pesos. Yes, millions of pesos!! -oOoWe wonder but at the same time suspect that government is either incompetent in its war on drugs or maybe senseless officials in government, and influential personalities in society are involved as they are suspected they probably get shares from the millions generated by this illegal drug trade. Why this suspicion? Up to now after 4 years of this administration we still have to hear or read
in media reports apprehensions of drug lords and wealthy financiers. Of course government operatives have arrested several drug pushers, and these are merely small time operatives. -oOoTo recall: Eradication of this drug menace in the country was one of the top agenda of President Duterte when he assumed the Presidency. Think positive!! Let”s HOPE that in the remaining 2 years of the Duterte government it will finally double its efforts in the eradication of illegal drugs in our country. We sincerely hope!!!

During the above-mentioned Joint Committee Hearing, Atty.

The venomous spits emanating from the powerful head place the Filipino populace under fear of breaking directives. Foremost of all directives being spat by the national saliva on a regular basis commands wear mask and stay home unless issued a quarantine pass which local government units
grant to one person for every household. The young under 21 years of age and those over 60 years old are barred from going outside their homes. Those who need to go out to procure essential goods and services like buying medicine and food that are not available in the locality are excused from toeing the directive. Aside from the national saliva who was seen enjoying at sea with marine creatures,

She ordered an official Arbitration Hearing of all properties supposedly sequestered during the martial law period, and that the Arbitration should be open & fair, mainly for the possible return of said sequestered properties; and these included the properties of the Lopezes, including the ABS-CBN and MERALCO to the Lopezes. Don Eugenio “Geny” Lopez Jr., sent Atty. Jake Almeda Lopez to Malacañang for the official arbitration, as directed by President Cory. And on the Malacañang side, who was the person directed by President Cory to meet with Atty. Augusto Jake Almeda-Lopez?

Commentary FR. ROY CIMAGALA
Formation under the new normal WE know that our need for formation is a continuing one. It’s a never-ending affair. That’s because not only do we have to pursue the ideal of the fullness of our humanity, let alone, our Christian perfection—already a formidable, overwhelming task—but we also have to contend with the changing circumstances as we go along, which can be very tricky to us. And some of these changes can be drastic and radical! We can imagine, for example, how things will be after this pandemic we are having at the moment. We cannot anymore do things the way we used to do them. There will be new challenges in many fronts—personal, professional, social, etc. The need for adaptation is going to be very exacting. But we just have to find ways to adapt to the new or the next normal. Remember Christ saying, “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result. Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” (Mt 9,16-17) We have to take time to study how we can pursue this indispensable task of our continuing formation given the drastic changes and the new challenges of our times. It would be advisable to consult with some people who may give us new ideas and techniques, especially in the area of the new technologies. Of course, it is important that we are very
clear about what are truly essential in our formation—that God is the source and end of everything, that we have been created in his image and likeness, that we are meant to sanctify ourselves usually in the middle of the world and to help in the work of human redemption through our personal apostolate, that God meets us in all the circumstances of our life and invites us to love him and everyone else, etc. For all these, we are supposed to be strong and stable humanly and spiritually, knowledgeable about the doctrine of our Christian faith that gives us the global picture of things. We have to learn how to pray and do the necessary practices of piety given the likely scenario that our days will have more things and more challenges. We have to learn how to deal with our weaknesses, limitations, failures, temptations and sins. Of course, we also have to learn how to properly deal with our
5
successes and achievements and the other good things in life that can spoil us if not handled well. Yes, we have to learn how to strike a good balance between the new and the old, our immediate requirements and our ultimate necessity. We can imagine that the new or the next normal will require of us more resilience, patience and humility, since it is most likely that we will have to study new things. We may even have to change profession, not to mention our social and economic status. We should be ready to strengthen our spirit of sacrifice, otherwise we will likely fall into depression and the like. In all this, we should try to maintain a calm and cheerful bearing and outlook, knowing that God takes care of everything, and that everything will work out for the good if we are with God. (cfr. Rom 8,28) We just have to learn how to be sport and game, considering these new challenges as some kind of a divinely-directed adventure. Although we may not be able to avoid worrying completely, let us consider these worries as an occasion to get closer to God, begging him for some help, asking for some miracle if we want it, etc. Our spirit of divine filiation, that conviction that we are children of a good father who takes care of us in everything, should remain strong!
Prayer for the Nation and for Those who Serve in Public Office
God, our Father, you guide everything in wisdom and love. Accept the prayers we offer for our nation, by the wisdom of our leaders and integrity of our citizens, may harmony and justice be secured and may there be lasting prosperity and peace. Almighty and eternal God, You know the longings of our hearts and You protect our rights in your goodness, watch over those in authority, so that people everywhere may enjoy freedom, security and peace. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Pray the Holy Rosary daily Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns for world peace and conversion of sinners with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, (The family that prays together stays together) forever and ever, Amen.

Locsin, together with EDC president and chief operating officer Richard B. Tantoco and Ormoc Sugarcane Planters Association Incorporated-Farmers’ Medical Center OSPA –FMC vice president lawyer Roy Bernard Fiel, signed a memorandum of agreement through online formalizing the first Ormoc Molecular Diagnostic Center. The facility aims to do mass testing for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and gather all the necessary information to find ways to flatten the curve and manage the pandemic in the area. “Today marks another milestone as we hold our ceremonial MOA signing via Zoom for the first time,” said lawyer Allan Barcena, head of EDC’s Corporate Social Responsibility-Public Relations team that spearheaded the fulfillment of the company’s commitment to this project. “While we see this virtual event as part of the new normal, it is a proof that EDC’s almost 40-year strong partnership with Ormoc City cannot be hindered even by this COVID-19 crisis that we and the rest of the world are in right now,” he stressed. EDC’s donation is a critical component of the project considering that the RT-PCR is the standard testing method used to detect SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. Under the agreement, the city government of Ormoc shall provide the necessary supervision, technical support, and the needed fixtures, furniture and facilities for the Molecular Testing Laboratory, as well as execute all pertinent documents as part

of its responsibilities to the project. Meanwhile, OSPA-FMC shall operate and manage the facility and provide the appropriate staff who are proficient in molecular diagnostic techniques, as provided by the guidelines issued by the Department of Health. It will ensure that the laboratory shall only use Food and Drug Authority (FDA) registered testing kits, reagents and devices, and that RT-PCR machine and all other equipment in laboratory are properly maintained. All three parties are working double-time to make the facility operational soon for the benefit not only of the Ormocanons but also of residents from the western part of Leyte and also those from the provinces of Biliran and Southern Leyte. Ormoc, along with Kananga, Leyte, has been home to EDC’s 711-megawatt (MW) geothermal facility, the world’s largest wet steam field. EDC’s Leyte geothermal facility has been supplying more than 30% of the country’s installed geothermal capacity for almost 40 years. It is also responsible for putting EDC and the Philippines on the map as the world’s 3rd largest geothermal producer. City Vice Mayor Locsin narrated how in one evening in May 2020 that they
planned to have their own COVID-19 testing center to help contain the spread of the virus. “The manpower is already strained. And the task that time was how to buy the machine and how much would it could the city, including the accreditation process,” he said, adding the partnership only aimed for a safer and healthier Ormoc. But with EDC’s donation of this top-of-the line equipment and OSPAFMC’s offer to operate the machine, the plan is near to completion. In his acceptance message, Mayor Gomez expressed his elation with the partnership his administration has forged with the private sector like the EDC. “Very seldom we see corporations, people and the community, the local government unit, professionals and the national government working together in harmony. Fantastic and very needed, will bring good news to the beautiful people of Ormoc,” the city mayor said. The mayor assured that the city will take good care of the equipment since the facility will be beneficial not just for the people of Ormoc but for the whole province and the region as well. EDC president Tantoco, in his message via Zoom, explained that the company will be doing projects like this because the Lopez group is true to the credo

TACLOBAN CITY – Samar Governor Reynolds Michael Tan issued his appeal to the returning locally stranded individuals (LSIs) from the province to coordinate with the provincial government before they return home. The provincial government has a program for the LSIs dubbed as ‘Balik-Samar’ who are still in Metro Manila and other parts of the country but want to return to the province. Most of these LSIs are construction workers, house helpers and students who were stranded due to travel restriction imposed in Luzon after a lockdown was imposed there to prevent further spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Under the Balik-Samar, the provincial government provides free transportation and meals to every beneficiary who enrolled to the program. The meals are provided by Samar Rep. Sharee Ann Tan of the second congressional district. Before they are pick up by the service vehicle provided by the province, the LSIs have to inform first the provincial government that process their medical certificates and submit their that they are reciting numerous times in a year - and that is helping the community grow. In jest, Tantoco added that at first he doesn’t have the idea that the machine cost millions but for the resiliency and safety of the Ormocanons, EDC will be funding 100% of the project. The MOA states that there will be reasonable fees to be collected from the requesting party (who will undergo testing) to cover maintenance and operating cost. (MA. RUBY ESPINA) of Maripipi. The province has now 17 COVID-19 cases with one death from Kawayan town. New cases were confirmed in Motiong and Calbayog City. Meantime, DOH Regional Director Minerva Molon said that out of the region’s 563 COVID-19 cases, 321 of them have recovered from the virus infection.
Governor Reynolds Michael Tan names to the Philippine National Police for their travel authority. Before the LSIs depart Metro Manila, their identities are double checked by staff of the provincial government if they are indeed the persons who are inside the bus. Once they arrived in the province, they are brought to a temporary holding area in Barangay Payao in Catbalogan City where they undergo rapid testing. They will be pick up by their respective local government units. Gov. Tan said that they first inform the local government units if they are willing to accept the LSIs and how many they could accommodate. It was learned that there were LSIs who returned to their respective hometowns without informing their local government units which
resulted to congestion of their isolation facilities. As of June 29, of the more than 400 beneficiaries of Balik-Samar, two were tested positive of COVID-19. The two are both residents of Zumarraga, an island municipality in the second district of the province. The two individuals, according to Zumarraga Mayor Myrna Tan, are construction workers in Makati who arrived in the province on June 13. They undergo rapid test and had a non-reactive result after arriving in Catbalogan and were selected on random swab test on June 17. The two positive patients, a 50-year old male and a 21-year old male, are now placed at the municipal isolation facility and the villages where they live were placed under lockdown until July 2. Mayor Tan appealed to her residents who wanted to go home to coordinate with the national and provincial governments on their plan to return to the municipality. Samar province has a total of 107 confirmed cases as of June 29 with one recorded death related to COVID-19 in Tarangnan town. (ROEL T. AMAZONA)

Leyte hosts the 711-Megawatt geothermal facility owned by geothermal leader Energy Development Corporation. It is the country’s biggest geothermal facility and the biggest wet steamfield in the world that has been supplying clean, renewable source of power to the Visayas region for over 36 years. “I would like to issue an order to really look deeply and comprehensively into how we can develop geothermal,” Cusi said, adding that in promoting renewable energy, “it is best for the country to focus on the resources that are abundant available, and extend all the necessary support to encourage its development through innovative policies and strategies.” Cusi cited Vietnam that is developing the strength of its hydro resources. “They are very strong on hydro and that’s what they are developing. It doesn’t mean that they don’t have the other sources, but they focused on the strength of this particular resource,” he noted. Cusi also said that while geothermal power plants may be expensive to develop and may take a longer time to build, “it will be able to generate the kind of power that will help sustain the energy security of the country in the long-term.”
“This is the time to sit down and explore ways to support geothermal, because one installation will easily wipe out the 1,000MW installation of solar. I am for RE that would help improve the energy security of the country,” Cusi pointed out. “Let us break our head, think on how we can promote this source of energy – renewable that is really indigenous to us,” he added. “Eto, proven na natin itong geothermal. Let’s go for it and regain our previous global standing as one of the top countries in geothermal development,” Cusi said, noting that the Philippines used to be number one in the field. To date, the Philippines continues to have the highest RE generation mix within the Southeast Asian region. In 2018,
RE accounted for about 33.2% of our country’s total primary energy supply. The figure is already 10% ahead of the regional target set forth in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Plan of Action on Energy Cooperation, which seeks to increase the RE component on the ASEAN total primary energy mix to 23% by the year 2025. Present during the team meeting were DOE Senior Undersecretary Jesus Cristino P. Posadas, Undersecretary Felix William B. Fuentebella, Undersecretary Emmanuel P. Juaneza, DOE-Renewable Energy Management Bureau Director Mylene C. Capongcol, and Electric Power Industry Management Bureau Director Mario C. Marasigan. (PR)

for the spread of the video. The statement of apology did not set well with netizens who lambasted his action of disrespecting the national anthem and flag. Some people brought to public attention the heraldic code of the country that sets the standards in giving honor and respect to the national anthem.

It would pass as another display of arrogance not different from the one committed by the senator who broke quarantine rules and went away unpunished. There too was the police official who broke quarantine to celebrate his birthday in a special manner. Indeed, these are the kind of government officials who are special species. comments to alellema@yahoo.com

BFAR to intensify sea patrols in illegal fishing ‘hot spots’ TACLOBAN CITY – The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) will deploy new patrol boats in five “hot spots” areas in Eastern Visayas to boost its fight against illegal fishing. These five fiber-reinforced plastic patrol boats are intended for BFAR substations in Guiuan, Eastern Samar; Victoria, Northern Samar; Catbalogan City; some parts of Samar within the Leyte Gulf; and Matalom, Leyte. BFAR Regional Director Juan Albaladejo said on Thursday these areas are considered “hot spots” due to incidents of unreported and unregulated fishing (IUUF) that led to declining fish catch. “We already deployed patrol boats in these areas in 2014, but we need more to serve as blocking force. We have to intensify our presence in these areas to advance the well-being of our small fishermen,” Albaladejo told the Philippine News Agency (PNA). The fisheries bureau is optimistic that the intensified sea patrol will contribute to improved fish catch in the future. In Leyte Gulf alone, the current monthly production is only around 1.8 metric tons
per square kilometer, way below the ideal five to 10 metric tons. Each 30-footer boat costs P1.1 million. The boat has 115 horsepower outboard engine with a speed of 28 knots per hour. It is designed to chase illegal fishers. These are the first five boats built by BFAR in its fiberglass making facility in Barangay Diit in this city. These boats, funded by Fisheries Coastal Resources and Livelihood (FishCORAL) project, will be deployed within the month, Albaladejo added. The United Nations-funded FishCORAL project turned over the patrol boats on Wednesday in Carigara, Leyte in line with BFAR’s 73rd-anniversary celebration anchored on the theme “Improved Service Quality and Strong Partnerships Towards Fish Sufficiency.” FishCORAL aims to reduce poverty in the target coastal communities of the target bays/ ecosystems. It seeks to realize this goal specifically through the adoption of sustainable management of the fishery and coastal resources in fishing communities that will help increase overall stocks and fish catch.

NNC-8 calls on stakeholders to scale-up nutrition actions vs. stunting TACLOBAN CITY- As the nation celebrates the 46th National Nutrition Month this July, the government through the National Nutrition Council (NNC) leads the month-long celebration highlighting the theme “Batang Pinoy, SANA TALL…Iwas Stunting, SAMA ALL! Iwas ALL din sa COVID-19!” In Eastern Visayas, the celebration kicks-off on Wednesday with a motorcade as part of promoting aware-
ness among Filipino families the importance of proper nutrition and to generate commitment from various stakeholders to scale-up nutrition actions in the midst of the pandemic. In a mini presscon held on Wednesday at the Ritz Tower de Leyte, NNC Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator Dr. Catalino Dotollo called on all stakeholders for a collective effort in order to address the high prevalence of stunting among children in

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
the region. “With this celebration, let us all help in our fight to prevent stunting especially among Eastern Visayan children since stunting is indeed a problem in our region and even globally,” Dotollo said. Dotollo said it is likely that COVID-19 pandemic will have an impact on nutrition since the health system is focused on responding to health emergency which may affect the delivery of nutrition and related services and reduced people’s access to food. Dotollo urged all stakeholders particularly the local government units (LGUs) to carry out the nutrition programs in their localities and give preferential attention to the first 1000 days on the life of a person which refers to
the time of pregnancy until the first 2 years of the child so that the existing stunting problem will not become worse. Actions of the National Nutrition Council are always geared into sustaining the campaign even beyond July 31, Dotollo said. This include exerting all efforts to reduce stunting through the formulation of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 2017-2020 which will serve as the overall framework to address malnutrition including stunting and its underlying factors. Among provinces in Region 8, Samar has the most number of stunted children, Dotollo said. (ldl/cba/PIA8)

Over 100 Cafgu members to be deployed in 3 Samar towns TACLOBAN CITY – Over 120 men will be enlisted as members of the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (Cafgu)who will be assigned in different parts of Samar province which were cleared from the influence of the New People’s Army(NPA). This was disclosed by Major General Pio Diñoso, the commanding general of the 8th Infantry Division whose headquarter is based in Catbalogan City. The qualified recruits are set to have their rigid training with the provincial government providing the funding of their training, he added. “We are in charge in the recruitment, background investigation, training and where to deploy them while funding for their allowance will come from the province,” Diñoso said. At least 120 men from Samar were selected to be part of the Cafgu Active Auxiliary Unit II Company (CAAC-II) and they will be deployed in the towns of Basey, Pinabacdao and Calbiga. These three towns were earlier tagged by the military where there were strong presence of NPA rebels but
MAJOR GENERAL PIO DIÑOSO are now cleared. The presence of these Cafgu recruits to these areas will allow the community to be involved actively in the protection of their locality. “We need the presence of CAAC as our integrated territorial system after a place which formerly under influenced of communist group is declared peaceful and insurgency free,” Diñoso said. “They will serve as our territorial defense protection like in Samar province where many rebels and their supporters had already surrender to the government. We want the communities in that area to put up their own defense system through CAAC,” he
added. Eastern Visayas region needs at least 20 companies of Cafgu. For his part, Samar Governor Reynolds Michael Tan said that the newly- recruited Cafgu members will help further in ensuring that the province will remain peaceful and orderly. “With their presence, we can be assured
