TACLOBAN CITY- The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has formally reinstated Southern Leyte Governor Damian Mercado following a Court of Appeals decision reversing the previous dismissal order of the Office of the Ombudsman. Mercado, who is seeking for another term in next year’s midterm elections, was reinstalled by DILG regional legal officer Cyril Blanco on October 31. The reinstatement of Mercado as governor of the province was made possible after the Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the Ombudsman ousting him from office.

Five years after
‘Yolanda’ reconstruction remains slow, anomalous, group says TACLOBAN CITYImelda Tacalan, 48, feels nothing but heavy heart every time November 8 approaches. Like her fellow survivors of super typhoon ‘Yolanda’ in Balangiga, Eastern Samar, Tacalan has not yet been relocated to a government-led permanent housing site in their area after it was found out that their units were allegedly “substandard.” She said that of the 460 housing units intended for Yolanda survivors of their town, only 230 were constructed yet but were declared to be of not good quality. “I envy those Yolanda survivors whose relocation sites are managed by non-government organizations. They have better units compared to us,” Tacalan said in an interview.
This sentiment was also shared by Lita Bagunas of the Uswag Este-Katarungan. She said that the houses constructed by the National Housing Authority have weaker construction materials used with the walls could easily be shaken. Bagunas added that the housing projects that were started under President Rodrigo Duterte continue to be of substandard quality comparable to the ones constructed under the then administration of Benigno Aquino III. “Akala namin change is coming. Hindi rin pala,” she said whose group is part of the coalition of storm victims known as Community of Yolanda Survivors and Partners (CYSP). The group said that housing projects in Lawaan and Balangiga continue to face complaints due to
their “poor quality.” According to Joli Torella of Urban Poor Associates, many housing areas in Yolanda-hit areas generally lacked basic social services. The added cost of transportation and lack of access to these social services made life more difficult in the relocation sites, he said. “Families transferred at St.Francis Village find it difficult to live there because aside from lacking basic services, there’s flooding when it rains,” Vincent Basiano, a resident of said relocation site located in Barangay Suhi, Tacloban City, said. CYSP alleged that the relocation of 3,000 families was fast-tracked even as the relocation sites were still lacking basic social services like water, electricity, schools, and difficult access to public transport.

DPWH Leyte 4th clarifies public concerns on diversion road project in Ormoc City ORMOC CITYThe Department of Public Works and Highways Leyte 4th District Engineering Office clarifies issues regarding the Construction of By-pass/ Diversion Road in Brgy. San Juan going to Brgy. Naungan in Ormoc City. On behalf of District Engineer Lino Francisco C. Gonzalez, and the entire Leyte 4th DEO, assistant district engineer Irwin L. Antonio acknowledged the invitation of KAUGOP radio station for an interview regarding some clarifications from the citizens about the San Juan – Lao – Naungan Bypass/Diversion road. During the radio interview, ADE Antonio stated that this is a multi-year project funded by the national government and is co-implemented by the DPWH Regional Office and
Leyte Fourth DEO. This 4.2 km network development road project, comprised of 6 lanes will considerably minimize traffic congestion and drastically shorten the travel time by 20 minutes towards the city of Ormoc. Citizens were highly concerned about the floodings in the area affected by the diversion road, as well as the mangrove area that serves as a natural habitat for some migratory birds and aquatic animals. As such, Department of Environment and Natural Resources/Community Environment and Natural Resources Office and various agencies were involved in the preparation of the program of works prior to its completion. Public consultation was also conducted with the residents of affected

DPWH asks contractors to expedite project implementation CARIGARA, LeyteThe Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH)- Leyte Second District Engineering Office directed the contractors to hasten the implementation of their projects for this year. To address the issue, district engineer (DE) Carlos Veloso and officer-incharge- assistant district engineer (OIC-ADE) Daniel Estigoy met the contractors to speed up resolving negative slippages. According to Estigoy, the office is serious in adhering Department Order No. 193, series of 2016, “Administrative Action on Contracts with Negative Slippage in Accordance with the Revised IRR of Republic Act 9184,” to terminate a contract if it has already recorded a 15 percent slippage rate. It was revealed that the cause on the delay of the projects was due to obstructions such as electric posts and pipelines by some utili-
ty companies located within the road right of way. Estigoy also disclosed that their office had already requested funding for the relocation of these electric posts so that there will be no more reason on the part of the contractor for the delay of project implementation next year. Despite the inclement weather condition and other circumstances that have cause the delay of the projects, contractors must exhibit proper cooperation in solving these issues. Estigoy recommended them to submit catch-up plan to work up and speed up projects delayed to be completed before the end of calendar year 2018. He further reminded to find ways as much as pos-
sible to avoid negative slippage that may result to non-payment, cancellation of contract, or blacklisting. The field office guarantees assistance to contractors in providing better and quality infrastructure projects. (LIZBETH ANN A. ABELLA)

“With this order, there is no more doubt that I am back into office. We will continue to give service to our people,” Mercado told reporters in a press conference held after he assumed the office temporarily held by Vice Governor Christopher “Coco” Yap. On August 10 last year, the Ombudsman found Mercado liable for grave misconduct in the alleged anomalous procurement of vehicles amounting to P2.3 million when he was still Maasin City mayor in 2007. He was suspended the following month. However, the Court of Appeals reversed the decision on May 22 this year. (RONALD O. REYES)

A total of 263 units at Pope Francis Village are to be turned over on November 21, more than three years since the Roman Catholic- funded housing project started in August 2015. (Roel T Amazona)
Over 260 families from coastal areas to transfer to their new homes funded by Church-based group TACLOBAN CITY– Residents coming from 11 coastal villages of this city will finally be awarded with their permanent housing units funded by the Roman Catholic Church after almost three years of waiting. A total of 263 units will be awarded on No-
vember 21 to families whose houses were totally washed out during the onslaught of super typhoon ’Yolanda.’ These families are residents of San Jose, Magallanes, Pampango and Old Road Sagkahan districts. The beneficiaries are to be relocated to Pope Fran-

And the roads are paved neatly, No rubles block your sight The stench in the air has evaporated completely And the wind is calm tonight The waves are asleep in the still sea, A thousand candles lined up on the streets greet thee At last, you can now grieve For what was lost, for what was dear-Here you may weep And lull your sorrows to sleep Through candles brightly lit Like stars scattered all over the skies of your heart, A thousand sad flames to swallow the dark And yet, even with a thousand candles Farewell still tears your flesh You are stormed by memories of death Who are you without your sorrows? Like life without a dream, An embrace without warmth-So, you light a thousand candles And perhaps a thousand candles more Until there is only light Remember them in the clear sky Now, hear the gentle wind sing to the tranquil sea And watch light surge through your city
cis Village located in Barangay 99, Diit. The 12-hectare resettlement site has about 566 housing units but only 262 units are to be awarded to the same number of families. The Department of Public Works and Highways and the 546th Engineering Construction Battalion of the Philippine Army helped in the site development while the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) under its core shelter program, allocated P38 million or P70,000 per housing unit. The project is a product of a consortium of organizations called Francesco lead by the Canadian Catholic for Development and Peace, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines—National Secretariat for Social Action, the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, the Archdiocese of Palo through Caritas-Palo and the Urban Poor Associates. “I never thought that I will own a house like this,” Yolanda Sembrero, a mother of four, said. Sembrero’s family is from Brgy. 89 in San Jose which was one of the hardest-hit area when Yolanda pummeled this city on November 8,2013. Part of the requirement for her family to become a beneficiary is to help in the construction of the housing project and they will shoulder the expenses on improving the interior of the house. The concept allows them to check the progress of the construction and
ensure that the specifications are followed. “Our hope now is for other housing projects to replicate the process that we did. The community must have involvement to the project. The contractors should ask the beneficiaries through a dialogue if what kind of design and how their house should be build,” Sembrero said. Also called as in-city relocation, the housing project is located five kilometers from the city proper unlike the housing projects of the National Housing Authority located more than 10 kilometers outside of the city center. Fare to Pope Francis Village cost P9.00 unlike to the housing projects of NHA that cost from P13 to P20. “This is a factor that was considered when this project was conceptualized because most of the beneficiaries comes from a fishing communities,” Joli Torella, Urban Poor Associates community organizer said. “The beneficiaries must stay closer to the source of their livelihood so that their stay in their new houses will not be affected by problem on looking where to get the support they need for their daily survival,” Torella added. The project was supposed to be completed in 2016 but was hampered due to funding problem. The resettlement site has its own multi-purpose building, day care center, health center, school campus, material recovery facility, commercial building and park and playgrounds. (ROEL T. AMAZONA)

ternational, a humanitarian organization which aims to promote children hit by super typhoon ‘Yolanda’ recover through sports, particularly football or soccer. Masubay, himself a survivor of the world’s strongest typhoon to hit inland, said that by being a life coach to these children, he finds meaning to his life and existence. By focusing as a coach, he chose to forget of becoming an engineer saying that as an engineer he could only build a solid structure ‘without an impact to a community.’ “I realized that football or soccer could help shape how the children sees their life in the future. That despite of poverty, they can do something and achieve in life,” Masubay, who himself is no stranger to daily life’s struggles, said. Masubay, second to the brood of three siblings whose parents are just average wage earners, became a coach of soccer of FundLife International sometimes in 2016 going around to various communities in Tacloban City, considered as the ground zero of Yolanda. As a coach, he teaches children the basic of the games while considered as the world’s most popular sports yet remain alien to most of the Filipinos, for at least two hours. But in so doing, Masubay inculcates some values which he said are needed for one to become a ‘champion in life.’ “The core value being promoted by FundLife includes commitment, creativity, courage, respect, and skills which are needed for one to become a champion in life and not just in sports,” he said. “Just coming to the session or by bringing a bottled
water help them become committed and responsible,” Masubay said. The young coach boasted that since they have started their mission, they have seen many of the children who attended their sessions showing some measure of success. He said that many of them have finished their elementary or secondary studies with good grades, if not topping their classes. Masubay himself said that joining FundLife International, funded by Marko Kasic, was one of the best decisions he has ever made. Aside from fulfilling his dream to become a soccer player-cum-coach, he gets to travel to foreign countries helping promote soccer as a life-changing tool. Recently, Masubay went to Buenos Aires, Argentina to joined a global event dubbed as ‘Sport at the Service of Humanity,’ a mentoring activity. He was the only Asian to attend the October 3-6 event participated by luminaries coming from various field of endeavors. The experience of attending a global affair made him realized that sports like soccer could be a big thing not just in breaking social barrier but a venue in achieving ‘social inclusion.’ “Each one of us has our own unique way. One should not be considered as above from the rest. We can achieve our dreams in life in our own ways but we have to work hard for us to achieve our goals in life,” Masubay said. (JOEY A. GABIETA)

Weighing the vendors
mid the rising costs of commodities nowadays that the average income earners can hardly cope with, any fraudulent scheme that the merchandisers do to fool the buying public is despicably unacceptable and should thus be penalized right away. The confiscation of defective weighing scales in the different markets of the city—around 99 in all—is a commendable sample for this. It’s a great thing the city government has this type of crackdown, destroying those tampered weighing scales. The people could not help commend the Office of the Market Superintendent which led this confiscation pursuant to City Ordinance No. 2008-10-71 providing for the regulation of weights and measures in public market and private establishments in the city. Surely, said practice on the part of vendors is a form of cheating and thus illegal. Consumers ought to be protected from it, more so that these scales mostly came from costly commodities like fish. Imagine a hard-up buyer shelling out a hardearned cash and not getting his money’s worth.

Discarded solutions It is doubtless wrong to say that many of our global problems do not have solutions at all for, as a matter of fact, potential remedies have been recently identified. It’s just that certain powerful and moneyed fig-

He pays the exact amount in good faith, yet he doesn’t get the equivalent item. So it’s just fair that violators be slapped with a maximum penalty of P3,000 fine and a revocation of the business permits of the vendor/business establishment. Supposed to be, weighing scales must be registered with, and calibrated by the Operation of Market Office with a corresponding fee of P200. But some fraudulent vendors are tampering with the weights by replacing the inside parts; by replacing the plates provided for such weights; by using the worn-out and rusted weighing scales; by manipulating the adjustments; by removing the seal on the weighing scale; by placing heavy materials that reflect greater weight than the true weight of goods; and by using defective weighing scales. If in doubt, buyers can check if the weighing scale has the sticker of the city government. They may also verify the weights in question using the ‘Timbangan ng Bayan’ found in the central public markets. Upon discovery that the vendors are cheating, the case should then be reported to the market authorities. What a commendable system, indeed. tries! They may be dumped in landfills, for a show, but eventually, they end up in the oceans, some of which would sink, the rest stay afloat on a massive scale. They poison the marine creatures like whales; they entangle and choke the rest to death; they pollute the waters into something inhabitable; and many more. Some advanced countries have already developed a technology that converts all sorts of garbage into building materials and other usable products. But why is it that politicians running the world’s governments do not even acknowledge these
breakthroughs? Well, it’s because, in one way or another, they are influenced by those who oppose such developments that, if implemented, could potentially render the existing building materials useless. Consider the problem of global warming. Many of its contributory elements can actually be discarded and replaced. The use of fossil fuels, for instance, is one of the main causes of global warming.

Rico J. Puno The popular OPM singer, Rico J. Puno is gone. He died of heart failure due to complication as he was diabetic. Indeed, death is like a thief in the night and he is gone at the age of 65. Rico J. Was a guy who loved crowds. He loved being around people. He always had a joke to share. He was always full of zest. He enjoyed his status immensely. He loved the trappings of fame, wore gold watches, bracelets and neclaces. He enjoyed the mass
adulation. He is the King of Original Pilipino Music (OPM). These are songs in the vernacular that spoke of genuine Filipinos experiences. Rico’s appeal catered more to the masa. People loved his soulful voice and his songs talked about the simple joy of life – such as “Alaala” a Tagalog version of Barbara Streisand’s “The Way We Were”. Who will forget the lyrics, “Namamasyal Pa sa Luneta ng Walang Pera”.
The right pro-choice WE have to be more familiar with what we may term as the right pro-choice. That’s because what is now more popular, especially in the more developed countries, the so-called liberated ones, is the wrong one, the bad one. And we have to do something about it. At least, we have to be clear about why it is wrong and why we should protect ourselves from it. In these countries, it is now lawful to abort babies, for example, and to resort to divorce, even a no-fault divorce, to have same-sex marriage, to practice euthanasia, and a long litany of practices that go against God’s law and our very human nature. We have to remember that our life will always involve a choice. That’s because we are free. We
have a will whose proper exercise is precisely to make a choice. We have the capacity to shape our own life precisely because of our power to choose. But in all this, we should not forget that there is God who gave us that power. And that power is subject always to his law which, in our case, is called the natural moral law. That power is not simply generated by us and subject purely to our own designs. Stressing the point that our life will always involve a choice, St. Augustine once said: “Two loves have made two cities— love of self unto the contempt of God, and love of God unto the contempt of self.” In short, the choice we have to make is between God and ourselves. We have to train ourselves to make the proper choice. We always have

He recorded inspirational songs that were huge hits, “Kapalaran”, “May Bukas Pa” and “Lupa” were some of them. They were soothing and reassuring to the Filipino soul. Rico J. Puno will be greatly missed. He will be remembered as a great OPM legend who defined music and left indelible happy memories in the Filipinos collective psyche. Farewell Rico J.

to choose God before anyone and anything else. And we have to do this explicitly many times, because we have the tendency to take this choice for granted, not realizing that we have begun to distance ourselves from God. In this regard, we have to make sure that God is given priority especially when we are doing many good things. Let’s learn that precious lesson Christ is teaching us in that episode about the sisters Martha and Mary. (cfr. Lk 10,38-42) Martha was doing well in welcoming Christ to her house and in serving him. But when she complained to Christ about her sister, Mary, who was sitting before Christ, attentively listening to what he was saying, Martha received a kind rebuke: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” (41-42) This episode is very relevant to many of us. Like Martha, we are also believers of God, we can welcome him to our homes, we serve him, we do many good things, and yet he may not be the first priority of our life. We can

This revenue generating agency by the way, had not earned a complete positive image since the beginning of its existence.

ments have the authority and the power to do that! It’s just a matter of exercising political will on the part of those who rule. The lives of the majority and the welfare of this only planet we live in are of tremendous importance than the interests of these people. Just because business and income will be affected doesn’t mean that governments will just have to allow
the operations of destructive companies. Politicians must take a stand against bribery, knowing that they also have children and grandchildren whose lives are at risk in the face of the world’s greatest threats. Anything that contributes to the earth’s destruction must be stopped, or else we would all suffer the consequences.

Based on the records of the City Housing and Community Development (CHCD), of the identified 14,433 families who need to be relocated, the government through the National Housing Authority still need to transfer 3,621 families who are still living at their old houses which are located in the coastal areas now declared as danger zones. And while there are already 10,821 families awarded of their new houses, several of these families chose not to occupy these units. And one of them is Albeth Moreno,48, who is the

She was awarded a housing unit in Guadalupe Heights 2 December, 2016 but only ‘visits’ the unit every weekend or if her schedule permits. “My work as a barangay secretary demand that I should always be in our barangay hall to attend the needs of my barangay mates. That is why, we still live here and we just repair our house,” the mother of three children said. She said that in due time, they would relocate to their new house as she was aware that there is an order from both the NHA and the city government to demolish their houses once they were awarded of their units as these are located within areas declared by the government as danger zones.
