He emphasized to thelocals gathered that the proj-ect funds was ldquostretchedrdquo toinclude the road openingthat was 5-kilometers longwhich now connects Ormocto the town of PalomponLeyte

Aside from reducingthe cost of transportingfarm produce to the city hesaid that the travel distancefrom Ormoc to Palompon a

popular tourist destinationhas been reduced to 22 kilo-meters only from the usual70 kilometers it would takea traveller coming fromOrmoc to go to PalomponTo motorists this means abig savings on gas and time

In her short speechesthe congresswoman alwaysurged the locals to take careof the roads as this will notonly be good for the presentgeneration but also for thefuture

In Domonar she said itwas unfortunate that thereis a stretch of the road thatremains unpaved becausethe landowner would notallow it to be cemented

WHAT ARE the origins of All Saints and All SoulsDay Are these linkedwith paganism and Hal-loween

Both the Feast of AllSaints and the Feast of AllSouls evolved in the life ofthe Church independentlyof paganism and HalloweenHowever elements of pa-gan practices were perhaps ldquobaptizedrdquo by some culturesor attached themselves tothe celebration of All Saintsand All Souls

Let us rst address theFeast of All Saints

The exact origins of thiscelebration are uncertainalthough after the legaliza-tion of Christianity in 313a common commemora-

tion of Saints especiallythe martyrs appeared invarious areas throughoutthe Church For instance inthe East the city of Edessacelebrated this feast onMay 13 the Syrians on theFriday after Easter and thecity of Antioch on the rstSunday after PentecostBoth St Ephrem (d 373)and St John Chrysostom(d 407) attest to this feastday in their preaching In theWest a commemoration forall the saints also was cel-ebrated on the rst Sundayafter Pentecost The primary

reason for establishing acommon feast day was be-cause of the desire to honorthe great number of martyrsespecially during the perse-cution of Emperor Diocle-tion (284-305) the worstand most extensive of thepersecutions Quite supplythere were not enough daysof the year for a feast dayfor each martyr and manyof them died in groups Acommon feast day for allsaints therefore seemed

most appropriateIn 609 the Emperor Pho-

cas gave the Pantheon inRome to Pope Boniface IVwho rededicated it on May13 under the title St Mariaad Martyres (or St Mary

and All Martyrs) Whetherthe Holy Father purposefullychose May 13 because of thedate of the popular celebra-tion already established inthe East or whether this was just a happy coincidence isopen to debate

The designation of Nov1 as the Feast of All Saintsoccurred over time

Pope Gregory III (731-741) dedicated an oratoryin the original St PeterrsquosBasilica in honor of all thesaints on Nov 1 (at least ac-cording to some accounts)and this date then becamethe ofcial date for the cel-ebration of the Feast of AllSaints in Rome St Bede (d735) recorded the celebra-tion of All Saints Day onNov 1 in England and sucha celebration also existed inSalzburg Austria Ado of Vi-enna (d 875) recounted howPope Gregory IV asked KingLouis the Pious (778-840) toproclaim Nov 1 as All SaintsDay throughout the Holy Ro-man Empire Sacramentariesof the 9th and 10th centuriesalso placed the Feast of AllSaints on the liturgical cal-endar on Nov 1

Acco rd ing to an ea r-

ly Church historian JohnBeleth Pope Gregory IV(827-844) ofcially declaredNov 1 the Feast of All Saintstransferring it from May 13However Sicard of Cremona(d 1215) recorded thatPope Gregory VII (1073-85)nally suppressed May 13and mandated Nov1 as thedate to celebrate the Feastof All Saints In all we ndthe Church establishing aliturgical feast day in honorof the saints independent of

any pagan inuenceNow for the pagan con-

nection Nov 1 markedSamhain the beginning ofthe Celtic winter (The Celtslived as early as 2000 yearsago in England Scotland

Wales Ireland and northernFrance) Samhain for whomthe feast was named wasthe Celtic lord of death andhis name literally meant ldquosummerrsquos endrdquo Since win-ter is the season of colddarkness and death theCelts soon made the con-nection with human deathThe eve of Samhain Oct 31was a time of Celtic pagansacrice and Samhain al-lowed the souls of the deadto return to their earthlyhomes that evening Ghostswitches goblins and elvescame to harm the peopleparticularly those who hadinicted harm on them inthis life Cats too were con-sidered sacred because theyhad once been human be-ings who had been changedas a punishment for their evildeeds on this earth

To protect themselvesfrom marauding evil spiritson the eve of Samhain thepeople extinguished theirhearth res and the Druids(the priests and spintualteachers of the Belts) builta huge new yearrsquos bonreof sacred oak branchesThe Druids offered burntsacrices (crops animals

even humans) and told for-tunes of the coming yearby examining the burnedremains People sometimeswore costumes of animalheads and skins From thisnew re the home hearthswere again ignited

Particular ethnic groupsdeveloped their own lorewhich was merged with thecelebration In Ireland peo-ple held a parade in honorof Muck Olla a god Theyfollowed a leader dressed

in a white robe with a maskfrom the head of an animaland begged for food (Ire-land is also the source of the jack-orsquolantern fable A mannamed Jack was not ableto enter heaven because ofhis miserliness and he couldnot enter hell because he

played practical jokes on thedevil so he was condemnedto walk the earth with hislantern until Judgment Day)

The Scots walked throughelds and villages carryingtorches and lit bonres toward off witches and otherevil spirits

In Wales every personplaced a marked stone in thehuge bonre If a personrsquosstone could not be found thenext morning he would diewithin a year

Besides the Celtic tradi-tions in place the Romanconquest of Britain in AD 43

brought two other paganfeasts Feralia was heldin late October to honorthe dead Another Autumnfestival honored Pomonathe goddess of fruits andtrees probably throughthis festival apples becameassociated with HalloweenElements of these Romancelebrations were combinedwith the Celtic Samhain

With the spread of Chris-tianity and the establish-ment of All Saints Day someof these pagan customsremained in the Englishspeaking world for All Hal-

lows Eve (or Halloween AllSaints Eve) perhaps at rstmore out of superstitionand later more out of funNevertheless All Saints Dayclearly arose from genuine aChristian devotion

Along with the Feast of AllSaints developed the Feastof All Souls The Church hasconsistently encouraged theoffering of prayers and Massfor the souls of the faith-ful departed in Purgatory At the time of their deaththese souls are not perfectlycleansed of venial sin orhave not atoned for pasttransgressions and thereby

are deprived of the Beatic Vision The faithful on earthcan assist these souls inPurgatory in attaining theBeatic Vision through theirprayers good works and theoffering of Mass

In the early days of theChurch the names of thefaithful departed were post-ed in Church so that thecommunity would rememberthem in prayer In the 6thcentury the Benedictinemonasteries held a solemncommemoration of deceasedmembers at Whitsuntide thedays following Pentecost In

Spain St Isidore (d 636)attested to a celebration onthe Saturday before Sexag-esima Sunday (the secondSunday before Lent theeighth before Easter in theold calendar) In GermanyWidukind Abbot of Corvey(d 980) recorded a specialceremony for the faithful de-parted on Oct 1 St Odilothe Abbot of Cluny (d 1048)decreed for all of the Cluniacmonasteries that specialprayers be offered and the

Ofce of the Dead sung forall of the souls in Purgatoryon Nov 2 the day after AllSaints The Benedictines andCarthusians adopted thatsame devotion and soonNov 2 was adopted as theFeast of All Souls for thewhole Church

Other customs havearisen over time in the cel-ebration of All Souls DayThe Dominicans in the 15thcentury instituted a customof each priest offering threeMasses on the Feast of AllSouls Pope Benedict XIVin 1748 approved this prac-tice and it rapidly spreadthroughout Spain Portugaland Latin America DuringWorld War I Pope BenedictXV recognizing the numberof war dead and the nu-merous Masses that couldnot be fullled because ofdestroyed Churches granted

all priests the privilege ofoffering three Masses on All Souls Day one for theparticular intention one forall of the faithful departedand one for the intentions ofthe Holy Father

Other customs havedeveloped regarding AllSouls In Mexico relativesmake garlands wreathesand crosses of real andpaper owers of every colorto place on the graves ofdeceased relatives the morn-ing of All Souls The familywill spend the entire dayat the cemetery The pas-

tor will visit the cemeterypreach and offer prayersfor the dead and then blessthe individual graves ldquoSkel-etonrdquo candy is given to thechildren

Similar practices occurin Louisiana The relativeswhitewash and clean thetombstones and preparegarlands wreathes andcrosses of real and paperowers to decorate them Inthe afternoon of All Saintsthe priest processes aroundthe cemetery blessing thegraves and reciting the Ro-sary Candles are lit near thegraves at dusk one for each

member of the deceased On All Souls day Mass is usuallyoffered at the cemetery

In the Middle Ages su-perstitious belief probablyinuenced from Celtic pa-ganism held that the soulsin purgatory appeared on AllSouls Day as witches toadsgoblins etc to persons whocommitted wrongs againstthem during their lives onearth For this reason someethnic groups also preparedfood offerings to feed andto appease the spirits onthis day These practices areprobably remnants of the

Celtic Samhain festivitiesNevertheless All Souls

Day as well as All Saints Dayare rooted in Christian beliefand arose in this life of theChurch through a healthyspirituality despite some pa-gan trappings that may havesurvived and have remainedattached to their celebrationhttpwwwcatholiceduca- tionorgarticlesreligion

Three senatorsreportedly resigned

RELIGIOUS CONFUSION amp THE STATE OF

OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

NOW THAT we are into some disasters and

calamities itrsquos good to remind ourselves that

God writes straight with crooked lines We

need to strengthen our faith making deliber-

ate acts of faith to avoid letting the pillars of

our ultimate beliefs eroded by the many trials

and difculties we are and will be experienc-

ing because of them

God is all good all wise all merciful He

does not want to play tricks on us He is not a

hunter who likes to harass us and to strike us

in our most vulnerable moments He is a good

father who understands us well loves us no end

provides us with everything we need and solves

our problems in their nal terms

He even assumes the mess that we make

due to our sinfulness and converts them into

our way of reconciliation His will and ways

are actually simple and straightforward What

makes them to appear crooked are our own

natural limitations personal weaknesses and

our own sinfulness that tend to complicate what

is actually simple

The gospel gives us the basis for all these

claims and beliefs We are told to see and assess

things more by faith rather than just our com-

mon sense and the power of our sciences and

natural knowledge

ldquoYou know how to interpret the appearance

of the earth and the sky why do you not know

how to interpret the present timerdquo he said (Lk

1256) somehow telling us that we should not

just look at the externals and appearance of

things but rather into the internal and spiritual

aspects where the interplay of Godrsquos provi-

dence and our correspondence takes place

This is the challenge we have to tackle We

need to study the will and ways of God that

actually are revealed to us with enough if not

abundant clarity in spite of the mysteries that

they also contain Are we doing something

about this challenge

The faith broadens our mind and leads us to

brace ourselves to the full range of reality that

we live in a reality that includes the natural and

the supernatural the material and the spiritual

Itrsquos the faith that sheds the proper and ulti-

mate light to everything in our life including

not only the good things that happen to us our

victories and successes but also the bad and sad

things that spring not so much from our natural

limitations as from the infranatural or sub-

human frailties that arise from our sinfulness

Itrsquos the faith that gives meaning and salva-

tion to the suffering that we unavoidably will

have in this life In another part of the gospel

for example we are told that whenever some ca-

lamities occur one thing that we should remem-

ber as we go about tackling the consequences of

such calamities is that we need to repent

Our life here on earth can be described in

many ways most of them beautiful and of the

fell-good type But one realistic way of describ-

ing it is that it is also a life meant to elicit in us

sentiments of repentance and conversion Thatrsquos

because of our sinfulness

The pertinent gospel passage is the fol-

lowing ldquoSome people told Jesus about the

Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with

THE READERS of this column will no doubt

claim that I am jumping the gun on the

much-ballyhoed resignation of Sens Jing-

goy Estrada Bong Revilla and Juan Ponce

Enrile The said Senators have been reviled

no end and there seems to be no end to their

supposed involvement in the PDAF scam

Before going any further please allow this

corner to elucidate For this reason allow

it to quote verbatim an item that appeared

in the Freeman edition of the 18th October

2013 as follows

ldquoOttawa ndash A Canadian Senator at the center

of an expenses scandal sought medical leave

yesterday as he and two colleagues were set to be sacked from government

ldquoSenator Mike Duffy said in a statement that

he would be absent from work due to health

concers

ldquoThe Senate has been asked to consider a

motion calling for the suspension without pay

of Duffy as well as fellow Senators Pamela

Wallin and Patrick Brazeau

ldquoThe trio -- all appointed to the upper house

by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper

-- face a criminal probe after an audit revealed

ldquotroublingrdquo expense claims

ldquoAll three have been stripped of their po-

litical resources but that was not enough to

quell an uproar which has been a drag on the

Coservativesrsquopopularity -- now at an all-time

low according to polls

ldquoDuffy is also being investigated for having

accepted a Can $90000 check from Harperrsquos

chief of staff to help the lawmaker repay funds

he had wrong claimed as Senate expenses

(AFP)rdquoThe above item is quoted in its entirety and

being reproduced because it seems to be in the

same plain as that of ours Since the Napoles

scam was unearthed no such movement from

the House of Representatives to that of the

Senate has been heard or seen This corner has

to admit that any man can always claim he is

ON A holiday season where the souls of

the dearly departed and all saints known

to the Christian faith are remembered a

controversy crops up in this city preying on

the emotions of Ormocanons still raw from

remembering their dead

Last Tuesday members of the Aparis and

Omega clans including supporters came in

full force to the City Hall to attend the Sang-

guniang Panlungsod session where the matter of

the appointment of Mrs Evangeline Cotiangco

the lady chosen by the majority Liberal Party

to ll up the vacancy left by the late councilor

Nepomuceno Aparis I would be taken up

I also noticed that a lot of them were City

Hall employees A councilor noted it indicates just how many people related to Aparis have

been absorbed at the LGU

Their champion councilor Ruben Capahi

took the cudgels for the choice of the ldquominority

blocrdquo appealing to the ldquoChristian Charityrdquo of

the LP members to appoint the son of the late

Aparis I

It was hinted that a reason why they should

nominate him was ldquofinancialrdquo considering

Nepnep died from cancer that could be nan-

cially debilitating Honestly when I heard this

it left a bad taste in my mouth I have always

admired Nepnep as a person who was proud of

what he has achieved in political and personal

life and never giving in even in the face of criti-

cisms and groveling to anybody for nancial

reasons is the last thing I imagine him to do

Especially for his family who I know he andMarsquoam Thelma worked hard to provide well

Anyway back to Tuesdayrsquos session the

Liberal Party majority would rise up to Ca-

pahirsquos appeal In the spirit of ldquoChristian Char-

ityrdquo Tommy Seraca stood up asked for the

resolution recommending Cotiangco as the

sole nominee to be amended and the name of

Nepneprsquos junior to be included Bennet Pongos

Jr proponent agrees

Those present predominantly members of

the Aparis family all dressed in white T-shirts

with the writings ldquoCelebrating the life of Nep

Aparisrdquo applauded the magnanimous move

of the LP They applauded them thrice if I

remember right

Since the ldquorewordingrdquo of the resolution

was ticklish two long breaks were called for

All the councilors went to the backroom of thesession hall and had a marathon meeting By

around 600 PM they all come out smiling and

looking pleased

After the title of the proposed amended

resolution was read those present again gave a

loud applause And while the body of the reso-

lution was being read Capahi in a loud clear

voice would read paragraphs he helped reword

ldquoby way of assisting this bodyrdquo to include the

information that they are not admitting that the

late Nepnep was an ldquoindependentrdquo I checked

my notes Capahi said ldquoby way of assisting

this bodyrdquo in rewording the resolution at least

two times

Then all 10 present voted on the ldquowin-winrdquo

resolution At my back I heard ldquoJRrdquo Aparis

telling an SP staff he would be submitting his

ON THE occasion of All Saintsrsquo Day amp All

Soulsrsquo Day I am at a loss and wondering

why the TV networks and radio newscast-

ers in Manila are calling the two holidays as

ldquoundasrdquo I could not get the true meaning of

this term undas describing the two holiday

occasions It has not been explained by the

Manila-based TV media I could still remem-

ber that Nov 1 was called by the media as

ldquoTodos los Santosrdquo a Spanish name Maybe

the term ldquoundasrdquo was just coined by the Ma-

nila media to have a shortcut term for the two

religious holidays I am afraid that the media

in Manila may invent another shortcut term

to name the two most holy religious days of

holy week Holy Thursday amp Friday

Every rst of November we are forced by

religious tradition and the declared holidays to

remember our dear departed and to visit their

gravesites or tombstones to offer our prayers

for them to rest in peace We also bring owers

and light candles at their tombs together with

our prayers perhaps for our dead to remember

their scents from the far beyond This practice

was further reinforced by a poet who declared

his wish before he died that owers be brought

often to his grave so that somehow he can smell

their scents

The Chinese tradition aside from the ow-

ers and the burning of incense includes the

offering of food and fruits not only for their

scents but with the Chinese belief that somehow

their departed can partake some of the offered

food and fruits later when the visitors leave the

cemetery The food and fruits left at the tombs

almost always disappear but taken by hungry

living persons or cemetery thieves when the

paid guards are not alert anymore

The annual dash to cemeteries is also often

the only time that we can clean or spruce-up the

SEE MERCADO P 6

I USED to tune-in to PRTV-12 to listen to

the morning commentators After a brief

comment on the still raging issue of the Pork

Barrel Scams a commentator made the ob-

servation on a lawyer who led a case against

60-year old Freddie Aguilar for falling in love

and planning to get married to a 14-year old

maiden with her parental consent I was

silently cheering on the PRTV-12 commen-tator I think he was Atty Nick Esmael for

lambasting the ldquoAbogado de Campanillardquo for

ling the case against Aguilar instead of those

clearly guilty of the ldquoPork Barrelrdquo Scams He

is obviously an ldquoAbogado de Palagapakrdquo and

no ldquoAbogado de Campanillardquo

Tradition forbids the ringing of altar bells

during Holy Week Instead of ringing the small

bell during Mass small wooden boards tied

together are shaken by the altar boys to give

off rattling sounds This is in lieu of the lively

small bells

What reminded me of this was Freddiersquos

song ldquoAnakrdquo It became the top tune world-

wide In my 2nd ofcial trip to South East

Asian countries from Japan up North down the

south of Singapore ldquoAnakrdquo was sang in many

languages It was translated to Japanese InHongkong it was translated to major Chinese

languages like Mandarin or Fookien It was

also sang in Indian by the Indian community

in Singapore I even heard ldquoAnakrdquo also has a

Spanish Italian French etc translations These

are main languages in Europe

I humbly assumed the song ldquoAnakrdquo was

a protest song of the ongoing Worldwide

Population Control Program In one of my early

ECHOES columns I wrote that the whole world

population that time of 7 billion if gathered in

one place and told to stand comfortably at two

persons per one square meter of that area the

world population can be accommodated on

Billiran Island with lots of grounds to spare

An old scientist-philosopher formulated

his Malthusian Theory of over population that

will result in incessant wars and epidemics that

will nally result in annihilation of the worldrsquos

population Of course Malthus a old philoso-

pher and maybe also as a scientist of his times

did not foresaw the vast improvement of the

human species and science eliminating deadly

epidemic viruses and the rise of tall buildings to

increase living spaces in urban areas He never

foresaw the Empire State building or Manhattan

Twin Towers in New York Or the skyscraper

in Saudi Arabia that turns with the rising and

setting of the sun The old Philosopher did not

foresee the eradication of malaria fever When

the Suez and Panama canals were built hun-

dreds of workers died during its construction

because of the malaria-infested swamps turning

the focus of scientists to defeat the plaque

The scourge of tuberculosis has been mini-

mized even in our nation resulting to closures

of TB Pavilions setup in every province of the

country The biggest TB Pavilion was in Quezon

City Even the dreaded Bbible disease leprosy

was totally eliminated with the closure of the

Leper Colony in Culion Island of Palawan

As to wars among nations all thoughts of

war for domination by a single nation was to-

tally eliminated by the invention of atomic or

nuclear bombs forcing nations to be at peace

with each other or fully destroy each other with

nuclear bombs

Hence the Malthusian Theory of Population

Explosion is a false theory of causing the end

of Civilization However recent headlines are

about recurrences of the incurable HIV disease

caused by same sex copulation (To be conrsquot)

ldquoDeath washes some things cleanrdquo Where

Why

Itrsquos not simply because the death changedthe chemistry and took someone out of the fam-

may seem the case the source of the tension

It happens because as Lukersquos account of Jesus

on the cross teaches ldquoToday you will be with

me in paradiserdquo

ldquoJesus speaks those words to the good thief

on the cross And theyrsquore meant for every one of

us who dies without yet fully being a saint and

without having had the time and opportunity to

make all the amends and speak all the apologies

for reconciliation and healing to happen Inside

MALES OF ALL SPECIES love to strut call

themselves top of the heap and feel entitled to

every female in sight It is also considered a

given that a man could not control his sexual

urges and would in fact be just too willing to

bed his friendrsquos wife Is it based on research

or is it just a myth

Scientists have found that men are biologi-

cally inclined toward avoiding a close encounter

with the mate of a buddy Testosterone seems to

be depressed if a friend is involved but elevated

if there is no close relationship

Menrsquos testosterone levels generally increase

when they are interacting with a potential sexual

partner or an enemyrsquos mate researchers report

It suggests that menrsquos minds have evolved to

foster a situation where the bonds of friendship

are respected

The apparent lowering of testosterone levels

when interacting with friendsrsquo mates is consis-

tent with mutual respect of mating relationships

and enhanced cooperation among group males

the study notes

The scientists see their study as much

broader than just the sexual temptation involv-

ing a friendrsquos mate because another research

showed that testosterone is also involved in a

wide range of human activities

They found for example that the level of

testosterone soared in young men when they

competed in sporting events with a rival from

another community but it remained unchanged

if the rival was a close neighbor And that they

suggest shows we are biologically determined

to act less aggressively within our group but we

are more willing to attack outsiders

A victory against friends does not affect

testosterone signicantly whereas a victory

against outsiders results in elevated testoster-

one the study concludes Likewise a defeat by

friends has little effect on testosterone whereas

a defeat by outsiders results in decreased testos-

terone from pre-competition levels

The researchers further suggest that testos-

terone remains low to help members of a com-

munity work together and it rises to help defeat

a threat from outside the community Thus it

may play a critical role in human interactions

even at the international level

However there is still some debate among

scientists over testosterone Other scientists

found that testosterone does not cause aggres-

sion if that would threaten onersquos own status as

in donrsquot pick a ght with a bully if hersquos really

gigantic

Another study found that testosterone makes

us less cooperative even with our friends and

more egocentric And other researchers found

that subjects who had received an extra dose of

testosterone lied less frequently so the effect can

sometimes seem contradictory

But one thing is certain Sex may not neces-

sarily be destiny but sex hormones determine

what and who we are as far as gender orienta-

tion is concerned Perhaps the hate bashers now

show more empathy for Charice and others who

came out of the closet by supporting Thatrsquos My

Luke 20 27 - 38

There came to him some Sadduceesthose who say that there is no resurrectionand they asked him a question sayingldquoTeacher Moses wrote for us that if a manrsquosbrother dies having a wife but no children

the man must take the wife and raise upchildren for his brother Now there wereseven brothers the rst took a wife and

died without children and the second andthe third took her and likewise all seven leftno children and died Afterward the womanalso died In the resurrection thereforewhose wife will the woman be For theseven had her as wiferdquo

And Jesus said to them ldquoThe sons ofthis age marry and are given in marriagebut those who are accounted worthy toattain to that age and to the resurrectionfrom the dead neither marry nor are givenin marriage for they cannot die any more

because they are equal to angels and aresons of God being sons of the resurrectionBut that the dead are raised even Mosesshowed in the passage about the bushwhere he calls the Lord the God of Abrahamand the God of Isaac and the God of JacobNow he is not God of the dead but of theliving for all live to himrdquo



curriculum vitae ldquotomorrowrdquo

The session would end by 630 PM Everybody was wreathed

in smiles and seemingly happy over the decision

On my way out I asked Romy Aparis Neprsquos brother what

he felt about the ldquoSolomonic decisionrdquo (as Capahi paraphrased

it) and he said it was okay just leave the choice to the president

However what ended well was not to everybodyrsquos liking

it seems By Thursday morning an Ivan Delgado and ldquoOrmoc

Hubrdquo began to circulate on FB a letter by Aparis II telling the SPthat he wanted his name withdrawn from the resolution nominat-

ing him alongside Mrs Cotiangco The ve other independent

councilors Capahi Ebcas Codilla Placido and Corro also did the

same writing formally that they were withdrawing their afrma-

tive votes to the resolution in a copy also posted at the website

Aparis Jr refers to a certication from the COMELEC

claiming his father led as LAKAS-CMD and was not an ldquoin-

dependentrdquo I read the certication carefully as posted Oddly

it states that attached is a CONA (the late Aparisrsquos) ldquoexecuted

under oath on October 2 2013 which was received by the Of-

ce of the Election Ofcer COMELEC Ormoc City and by this

Department (the law department of the Comelec Central Ofce)

on October 5 2012 and October 8 2012 respectivelyrdquo I cannot

fathom how a CONA executed just this year (2013) could have

been received by the Comelec last year

Anyway I decided to check the ofcial website of the

Comelec at wwwcomelecgov ph Just like in the ballots last

May 2013 Aparis was declared a winner by the Comelec as an

independent candidate To jog every Ormocanonrsquos memory that

Ondo and his ldquoslaterdquo were reduced to ldquoindependentsrdquo in the May

2013 elections was a public knowledge Only one in their slate

had a party and that was their congressional candidate Why

They should probably be asking their congressional candidate

why since he was supposed to be the authorized signatory to

their CONArsquos

What was smugly ignored in the past as a ldquonon-necessityrdquo

(mudaog man mi bisan partido a radio spokesperson boasted)

has now become a lifeline

It is understandable why the ldquominority blocrdquo is ghting so

hard to have another ally in the council even to the point of

using a dead manrsquos popularity Itrsquos plain and pure politics and

politics is a numbers game

The LP majority in the council challenged to act as states-

men has already given the minority bloc what they wanted a

nomination Now for that inch they want the arm

VIEW FROM ORMOC from P 4

innocent of any crime unless proven otherwise Ergo all of

them are innocent

What has become of that age-old value of ldquodelicadezardquo which

is a Spanish word for the honor system where you are the only

one who can do something out of the ordinary and voluntarily

resign because the demand for it makes it so As an analogy

take the case of an incident in the Bible when Jesus said that if

you are invited to a party and you do not know the seating ar-

rangement take the last place and when your host nds you not

on the right seat he might ask you to go higher This way you

will be elevated whereas if you take the higher one which was

reserved for another one you will feel embarrassed in the eyes

of the other guests

None of the lawmakers are making a move for fear of being

considered as an admittance of guilt In the Biblical analogy by

taking the blame and if it was found out you were all the timeinnocent you will have been exalted to the seventh heaven For

sure some ndash or heaven forbid ndash all of them are involved in the

PDAF scam Sen Jinggoy already showed the way By so do-

ing he has put the noose around his neck Are there any other

takers Is there therefore a need to make a roll call How about

the Chair ofthe Blue Ribbon Committee who is now taking the

cudgels for an investi-gation Is he (Sen T Guingona) clean

Except for the newly elected Senators ndash three of them ndash are the

rest just as clean or not so clean as the others

Since time immemorial and as far as this corner can go back

to the past there has not been a Senator that resigned from the

Senate Does it mean to say that all of the Senators in the past

who got involved in some foolishness were all innocent If any

of them resigned out-right and are eventually found innocent

would it not have been very dramatic that he would have been

asked to take back his seat Lots of kudos to that Senator Un-

fortunately none of them came out real statesmen Take the case

of the deposed Erap He had the guts to go through the whole

process of impeach-ment He had nerves of steel Perhaps not

after all because he probably knew that he had a majority vote

Remember the ldquodancing queenrdquo who danced a jigon the oor

She happened to be the Tita of Pres P-noy

Can it be that it is only in the Western hemisphere that theower of chivalry is still blooming Have we not acquired the

same traits as them If we are considered as Godly as any Catho-

lic believer can we not have some of the true characteristics of

a man of God Why donrsquot the whole Senate resign en masse

and an investigation be done to determine who will be retained

Whoever will be retained will surely feel very great and much

vindicated The though of it makes this corner wonder in awe

ldquoWhy do you seek the living among the deadrdquo those words

were spoken by an angel to Mary Magdalene when she came to

anoint Jesusrsquo body in the garden tomb Curious words Perhaps

They contain though a secret Seek for them among the living

not among the dead ldquoWe will meet the ones we can no longer

touch by placing ourselves in situations where their spirits can

ourishrdquo John Shea writesEvery good person shapes the innite life and compassion of

God in his or her unique way When that person dies we must

seek him or her among the living

Whether in the dim catacombs off Rome rsquos Appian way or

in our garishly lighted cemeteries All Soulsrsquo Day 2012 speaks

think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were

greater sinners than all other Galileans

ldquoBy no means But I tell you if you do not repent you will

all perish as they didrdquo (Lk 131-3)

May we not get lost in the drama provoked by the calami-

ties and disasters that visit us from time to time a drama that

inevitably sparks off strong natural feelings of fear We have to

see the whole picture painted by our faith There we can see that

God actually is conveying a beautiful message for us a message

we need to know and live

Thatrsquos the reason why we have to pray always Prayer for

us should not just be an on-and-off affair It should be like our

breathing our very heartbeat Itrsquos what connects us vitally with

God and enables us to see things the way God sees them

We ought to remember that we actually cannot live without

God Thinking otherwise would lead us to some fantasy world

that for sure cannot cope with all the fullness of the reality of

our human life here on earth

With prayer we somehow can detect that God actually writes

straight but his writing may look crooked because of our limita-

tions and sinfulness

gravesites of our dead especially in the provinces since most

cemeteries or burial places here have no hired hands to maintain

and clean them unlike the memorial parks in Metro Manila and

urban cities But with the many imposed prohibitions and strict

inspection of visitors to public cemeteries in Metro Manila

such as the ban on bringing of bolos and other cleaning tools

the provincial folks are better off that they can bring their clean-ing tools to clear and repaint the tombs of their dead While in

Manila the cleaning up of tombs has become a business with the

authorized cleaners asking for a minimum of P400 just to clean

up one tomb and another P1000 for repainting it

And now the eternal question for all of us Is there life after

death Most of all faiths and religions teach and believe that there

is life after death granted by God or an Ultimate Being Bud-

dhism however modies this belief by their reincarnation belief

in other forms of life Aside from faith there is no real physical

evidence like a personal testimony from someone who died who

came back to tell personally or describe what is there beyond I

personally believe that this physical absence of a returning dead

to give testimony is part of the design of an Ultimate Being since

if there will be an exact testimony from one returning from the

dead either negative or positive that there is life beyond then

there will be no more surprises remaining in life for all

likewise wrote the SP that they

were also withdrawing theirafrmative votes to the reso-

lution as Aparis II had already

expressed to withdraw his

acceptance of the nomination

ldquoJay-Rrdquo refers to a letter

from the Comelec Law De-

Certificate of Nomination

and Authority (CONA) as

LAKAS-CMD on October 2

2013 which was received by

the Comelec in Ormoc City

and their ofce on October 5

It is not explained how-

few days after the councilor

An appeal for ldquoChristian

Charityrdquo

Last Tuesday October

29 the council held its regular

session Among the items on

agenda was Resolution No

2013-076 recommending

Mrs Evangeline Laurente Co-

tiangco to ll up the permanent

vacancy at the SP

The session hall was full

of people mostly relatives of

Aparis and his wife Thelma

who comes from the Omega

family There were also Crimi-nology students from the Sto

Nintildeo College where the late

councilor was President of the

board Aparis II is repor tedly

the Dean of Criminology in

the same school

Councilor Bennet Pongos

Jr proponent of the resolution

rst gave a committee report

on the matter When the matter

was formally taken up Atty

Ruben Capahi ldquospeaking in

behalf of the minorityrdquo argued

for ldquoChristian Charityrdquo from

the Liberal Party bloc to allow

the Aparis family to nominate

their choice

Another independentcouncilor Pedro Godiardo

Ebcas made another appeal

He said there was no urgency

to replace the vacancy and

that they the minority bloc

were willing to take care of the

barangays assigned to Aparis

even if it meant extra work for

them The audience cheered

Capahi and Ebcas

After their speeches LP

councilor Tomas Serafica

asked to be recognized In a

surprise twist he asked the

council to amend the resolu-

tion and include the name of

Aparis II in it

Speaking in Bisaya and

English Serafica explained

that Cotiangco was their ldquopar-ty choicerdquo as Liberal Party

members ldquobut in the spirit of

fairnessrdquo he also suggested

that the name of Aparis II is

included

Cheers and applause lled

the session hall especially

after councilor Bennet Pongos

Jr agreed to the amendment

The amendment was approved

by the body to the applause of

the audience

Since the resolution need-

ed to be reworded Vice Mayor

Toto Locsin Jr called for a

10-minute recess The eleven

councilors six from the LP

and 5 from the independentsthen withdrew for closed-door

deliberations at the backroom

of the session hall The 10

minutes stretched to almost

two hours

They would emerge from

the backroom at around 610

PM with the reworded resolu-

tion

Pongos again took the

matter up on the oor which

Capahi ldquoby way of assisting

this body hellip given the limited

time to arrive at a Solomon-

ic decisionrdquo helped explain

the major amendments done

Among the amendments was

the phrase that the resolutionldquodoes not conrm in no way

that Aparis was an independent

candidaterdquo as interpreted by

the majority

After the full resolution

was read Vice Mayor Toto

Locsin Jr asked the councilors

to vote on it All 10 councilors

present voted ldquoyesrdquo raising

their right hands to the cheersand applause of the audience

They were Rolando Villasen-

not participate in the delibera-

tions

Anrsquoyari

That was October 29

Tuesday By October 31

Aparis II and the five inde-

pendent councilors changed

their minds and withdrew their

conformity to the resolutionKnown Codilla supporters

have also brought the issue

to the social networking sites

through real and ctitious ac-

counts

There are also threats

posted that at least 80 people or

families will lose their jobs for

the LPrsquos magnanimous move

to accommodate Aparis II Ac-

cordingly the mayor wanted

him alone in that resolution

and because there were two

nominees 80 people will be

red from City Hall

These are reportedly the

ldquojob ordersrdquo given by the

mayorrsquos ofce to the LiberalParty SP members to accom-

modate their own people

Meanwhile legislative

consultant Atty Coeli Fiel said

she is still studying the matter

of Aparis IIrsquos withdrawal and

that of the ve councilors

As for inserting Aparis IIrsquos

1 To remove the salt deposits that form on claypots combine equal parts white vinegar rubbingalcohol and water in a spray bottle Apply the mixtureto the pot and scrub with a plastic brush Let the potdry before you plant anything in it

2 To prevent accumulating dirt under yourngernails while you work in the garden draw yourngernails across a bar of soap and yoursquoll effectivelyseal the undersides of your nails so dirt canrsquot collectbeneath them Then after yoursquove finished in thegarden use a nailbrush to remove the soap and yournails will be sparkling clean

3 To prevent the line on your string trimmer from jamming or breaking treat with a spray vegetable oilbefore installing it in the trimmer

4 Turn a long-handled tool into a measuring stickLay a long-handled garden tool on the ground and nextto it place a tape measure Using a permanent markerwrite inch and foot marks on the handle When youneed to space plants a certain distance apart ( from justan inch to several feet) yoursquoll already have a measuringdevice in your hand

5 To have garden twine handy when you needit just stick a ball of twine in a small clay pot pull theend of the twine through the drainage hole and setthe pot upside down in the garden Do that and yoursquollnever go looking for twine again

6 Little clay pots make great cloches for protect-ing young plants from sudden overnight frosts andfreezes

7 To turn a clay pot into a hose guide just staba roughly one-foot length of steel reinforcing bar intothe ground at the corner of a bed and slip two claypots over it one facing down the other facing up Theguides will prevent damage to your plants as you dragthe hose along the bed

horted close to one hundred

beneciaries of the Pantawid

Pamilyang Pilipino Program

(Pantawid Pamilya) to take

advantage of government

programs especially that

which would help lift them

out of poverty

She specifically pointed

that of the Department of So-

cial Welfare and Development

(DSWD) citing the PantawidPamilya as a good poverty alle-

viation strategy which invests

on human capital particularly

on the health and education of

children aged 0-14 years old

through a conditional cash

transfer scheme

The newly ndash elected city

official told the community

folks who come from nearby

barangays of Tacloban City

never to lose hope but to strug-

gle hard and enjoy whatever

opportunities the government

offers Erpe told them that

be ing a Pan taw id Pamil ya

grantee is a ldquo blessing ldquo

On the other hand DSWDAssistant Regional Director

speech that poverty is a global

phen ome non Hence sh e

added there is a need for all

sectors of society to stand unit-

ed in the ght against poverty

gram held at the Family Park

in Tacloban City thanked the

City Government under Mayor

Alfred Romualdez and the Li-

ons Club of Tacloban headed

by president Alfredo ldquoJunjunrdquo

Cua for lending support tothe activity

She said that the DSWD

organized a half-day event to

increase public awareness on

the need to come together to

build closer partnerships and

hear from the people living in

deep poverty themselves their

experiences of battling with

their day-to-day living

gans were entries to a competi-

tion with cash prizes at stake
