    A neighbor in acloban highlyurbanized city had observed orthree days until yesterday aer-

    noon (December 11, 2012) thatsmoke was coming out o theplastic container (emptied min-eral water 6-liter gallon) that wasbeing lled with the hot waterrom a aucet connected to a linewhich Leyte Metropolitan WaterDistrict installed a long time ago.Aer a ew moments, the gallon

    shrinked rom its originalshape. It was really hot.

    Last Sunday, anotherneighbor noticed that blackbugs that began invadingher home a week ago sud-denly disappeared. Shewasnt sure though i the300-milliliter Advanced

    Aerosol Odorless multi-in-sect killer (anti-dengue oil-based ormulation) that shebought a week earlier roma big downtown pharmacyhad anything to do withthat sudden disappearance.

    Just last week, unirri-gated rice armers waiting

    within this week and next.A armer in Villa Aurora,Basey, Samar, Philippines,concluded last Friday withhis partner landowner-rep-resentative that he could al-ready transplant by Dec. 14.Last Sunday, though, trans-

    t is sad that while deaths, destruction, devasta-

    tion and misery were being experienced by thepeople in Surigao del Sur, Compostela Valley,

    Davao Oriental, Cagayan de Oro and other partso Mindanao brought about by typhoon Pablo, 26

    members o the House o Representatives ew to

    Las Vegas to watch Pacquaio-Marquez 4th boxingshowdown. As responsible government offi cials and

    direct representatives o the people although theymay not have been representing those places men-

    tioned that bear the brunt o typhoon Pablo theyshould not have gone there out o sympathy to the

    typhoon victims.Even i they may have spent their own money

    in the are and expenses going there still it was not

    appropriate to enjoy pleasure watching the boxingbout when devastation and death is widespread

    in Mindanao. Tey should have been contented towatch it at home and donate the money to the vic-

    tims. I the money they spent came rom the taxes othe government and rom the people who suffered

    the tragedy that would have been very outra-geous. While some offi ces, organizations, agen-

    cies and even school children have donated theirmoney or plan to donate their money intended

    or Christmas party, it was callous or indifferent

    o those congressmen to have done that.It would have been enough that other Fili-

    pinos were there to give moral support to

    Pacquaio in his boxing bout with Marquez al-though they are his colleagues in the House oRepresentatives.

    As or Manny Pacquiao, it should not be ex-pected that he would always win in every ght.

    He would experienced deeat, too. Nothing and

    nobody who has reached the zenith would bethere always because the natural tendency is

    to go down. It is time or him to hang up hisgloves. In act, i he has retired beore he would

    have remained undeeated. alks o a rematchis only or the promoters to try to regain lost

    money during the boxing bout.

    Thursday of the 2nd Week of Advent

    Is 41:13-20; Ps 145; Mt 11:11-15

    JESUS PRAISE OF JOHN THE BAPTIST

    Jesus said to the crowds, Amen, I say to you, among those bornof women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet thelest in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of Johnthe Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and theviolent are taking it by force. All the prophets and the law prophesiedup to the time of John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah,the one who is to come. Whoever has ears ought to hear.

    JOHN IS GREAT

    Jesus mentioned John the Baptist as one greater than any other manthat has come into the world. The Jews even of that time had knownmany great men: Abraham, Moses, David, even Nebuchadnezzar whohad enslaved them, then Cyrus and Darius who had set them free. ButJohn was not a great man in that sense. The Patriarchs and even Dariushad been agents of God, but John had a special assignment as Godsagent. He pointed out Jesus to the people. They did not know him but

    when Jesus came to John for Baptism, John spoke those famous words:This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Johnidentied Christ for the people. How do I show Christ to others? DoI show Christ-like examples in my behavior? Am I Christ-like in mythoughtfulness and kindness to others? What have I told others aboutChrist since the beginning of this Advent? (Daily Gospel Now, R. Sul-livan, OMI, published by Paulines, visit us at www.paulines.ph or atPaulines Media Center, Real St., Tacloban City, Tel. 321-31-95)

    Natural calamities and crown-of-thorns destroy corals

    Dr. paciente cordero, jr.

    While Australia has tocontend with only natu-ral calamities and biologi-cal factors contributing tothe destruction of the GreatBarrier Reef, the Philip-pines has yet to attributecertain man-made practices

    as contributory to causingthe decline of the coun-trys coral cover. Filipinomarine biologists continueto report the massive coralbleaching caused by GlobalWarming that hit the marineecosystem of Luzon (e.g.Pangasinan), Visayas (e.g.Negros), and Min-Su-Pala

    Part II - The Philippine Experience

    (e.g. Palawan).The biological factor

    includes the alarming in-crease in the population ofthe crown-of-thorns (Acan-thaster planci) observedduring the assessment anddocumentation of the ma-

    rine algae of NortheasternLeyte Island (NRCP-DOSTfunded Project). Thismember of the starsh fam-

    ily, voracious eater ofhard corals, has colonizedthe coastal towns of LeyteProvince facing the LeyteGulf from Tacloban (DiyoIsland), Palo, Tanauan,

    Tolosa (Puntod, an offshorecoral formation), Dulag,Mayorga, Macarthur, and

    Abuyog!An abandoned shsanctuary roughly a hun-dred meters off Palo Town,where this writer and hisresearch team, doved into,showed how the crown-of-thorns have destroyed itsrelatively extensive coralsubstratum! At that time,the Bantay-Dagat units ofPalo and Tanauan towns,who were represented dur-ing the exploration cumeld data gathering trip,

    were surprised to see sam-

    ple specimens of the de-structive starsh brought

    and killed ashore.Adding to the woes in

    Leyte (and possibly else-where in the country), is thedestructive shing methods

    practiced by scrupulousshermen using dynamite

    and muro-ami. The ef-

    Some people are blam-ing Manny Pacquaios re-cent loss to his new-foundfaith and eventual abandon-ment of his old religion.They look at it as a chas-

    tisement, or some sort of acurse because now, he nolonger crosses himself anddoes not climb the ring withhis crucix worn around his

    neck like he used to have inhis previous ghts.

    Could this indeed be thereason for his humiliatingdefeat? Is it due to his fail-

    ure to wear the rosary, or tokeep crossing himself, or tostay faithful to his old reli-gion?

    According to BishopOscar Cruz, it is a very shal-

    low reason to say that Pac-quaio was defeated becausehe changed his religion;he was just overwhelmedwith his opponents unusu-ally powerful punches thatcaught him by surprise,thats why. This is, so far,the most sensible insight re-

    Things To

    Minddoms pagliawan

    Religion in Pacquaios loses

    garding his loss from an au-thoritative religious gure.

    Why, if we will blamehis defeat to his changing ofreligion, we are inviting areligious debate. Thats be-

    ing superstitious to say that.Holding that view would betantamount to saying that,in order for Pacquaio tocontinually reap victories,he must remain in his oldreligion, which is question-able, because if it indeedis the secret to his boxingtriumphs, then why did heaccumulate his rst three

    loses when in fact, he wasstill faithful then to his oldfaith?

    Clearly, religion hasnothing to do with his loss.

    It could be due to some fac-tors, the greatest of whichis Juan Manuel Marquezs

    burning desire and hungerfor a big win. He had pre-

    pared a lot for the ght,

    with much focus and im-mense determination. Hehad bulked, exceedingly

    improved his skill, andgreatly enhanced his pow-er-punching. He had stud-ied and eventually masteredPacquiaos movements,aws, and weaknesses. One

    false move and Pacquaiowould pay the prize. Andthats what exactly hap-

    pened.While Marquez was bus-

    ying himself with all this,Pacquaio was preoccupiedwith commercial endorse-ments, his businesses, his

    political career, his showbiz

    commitments, his musicprojects, etc. His trainingfor this ght then was obvi-

    ously inadequate and, whenght night came, one could

    tell who was ready and whowas not.

    But if people would stillinsist on linking his loss tohis new-found faith, then

    perhaps the following an-gle would apply. Having

    been exposed to the Bible,Pacquaio must have learnedthat he is a hell-bound sin-ner, that through repentance

    and faith, he should acceptJesus Christ as his Lord andsavior to be saved. If hedid just that, then he musthave been born spirituallyinto the family of God, re-deemed, and heaven-bound.

    As a new creature inChrist, salt of the earth

    and a vessel unto honor,he would be disallowed

    by God to be instrumen-tal in the perpetuation of

    big-time, worldwide gam-bling that is feasted on bygreedy, blood-thirsty crimi-

    nals, gamblers, fornicators,drunkards, etc. He shouldlive for God, not for theworld. From this premise,one could tell that he willnot succeed in boxing any-more, and his loses shouldhe continue will just accu-mulate.

    fect of the dynamite sh-

    ing method contributed tothe broken hard coral bot-tom of the abandoned sh

    sanctuaries in Barugo, Ba-batngon, and Palo towns,all facing the NE plank ofLeyte Island.

    An area with no stand-ing and healthy coral reef/

    bottom is not likely to at-tract sh population. Coral

    sh feeds by nibbling small

    green, brown, and redmarine algae growing onhard corals. Some speciesof algae grow in associa-tion with corals, showingsymbiotic relationships.The importance of main-taining a healthy coral reefassures shallow water sh-

    eries to subsist, i.e. parrotsh, wrasse sh species,

    and siganids are among themore common inhabitants

    of coral habitats.Of the afore-mentioned

    enemies of coral reefs,man-made once are easierto control, stop. An LGUheaded by ofcials with

    distributed by Human LieInternational, saying:

    Merciul God and Fa-ther, Source o all Physicaland moral lie, at this timeo our nations history, di-rect our leaders with yourwisdom not to pass the Re-productive Health, Divorce,Same Sex Marriage, and

    other bills that do not con-orm to your divine will.

    Notice the commandingtone o the prayer. It doesnt

    begin with a please. Itcommands instead o begs.I think, as in my Catechismdays, children are told tobe humble when askingor something. But hereit seems we are taught tocommand God to directour leadersnot to pass theReproductive Health.,

    For: Declaration ofNullity of Marriage

    x- - - - - - - - - -xPETITION

    Petitioner, by and throughundersigned counsel, unto thisHonorable Court, most re-spectfully states:

    THE PARTIES

    1. Petitioner is a Filipino,of legal age and a resident ofBarangay Macabug, OrmocCity, Philippines.

    2. Respondent is likewiseof legal age, a Filipino andwith residence Catandala, Iba-an, Batangas, where he may

    be served with summons andother processes of the Honor-able Court.

    3. Both parties have thecapacity to sue and be sued.

    THE RELEVANTANTECEDENT FACTS

    4. The copy of the mar-riage contract of the partiesstate that they entered into amarital union on February 14,1998, their marriage appear-ing to have been celebrated bythe Municipal Mayor of Ibaan,

    Batangas on said date. A copyof their Marriage Contract isattached hereto and marked asAnnex A.

    5. The marriage of theparties bore one child, namelyChristine Necole DiasantaIlao who was born on Febru-ary 14, 1998. A copy of theBirth Certicate of said childis hereto attached as AnnexB.

    6. During their apparentstate of marital union, they didnot acquire any real or person-al properites.

    7. Prior to their mar-riage, the parties rst met onDecember of 1996. Not longthereafter, the respondent theirrelationship developed into aromantic one.

    8. Having gained the af-fection of the petitioner, re-spondent asked the former toelope with him to Manila. The

    petitioner, motivated by her

    desire to see her sister, DivinaDiasanta who was then livingin Pasig City, acquiesced tothe proposal of the respondentand sometime on April 1997,they were bound for Manila.Much to her dismay, whenthey got to Manila, respondentrefused to bring the petitionerto her sister. Not knowing herway around Manila, petitionerwas compelled to stay andlive with the respondent in theapartment rented by the lat-ters family. On July 1997, pe-titioner realized that she was

    pregnant with the respond-ents child.

    9. To add to her woes, re-spondent had no steady sourceof income, nor did the lattermake any earnest efforts to

    provide for the petitioner andthe child she was bearing. Re-spondents employment wasfew and far in between andin those rare instances whererespondent was able to secureemployment, petitioner wasalways left in the less than de-sirable state of having to begthe respondent for nancialsupport.

    10. When petitioners duedate for her delivery was fastapproaching, the spouses de-cided to live with the parentsof the respondent in Batangas.

    11. On February 13, 1998,petitioner was admitted tothe Mahal na Virgen MariaSto. Rosario District Hospi-tal in Rosario Batangas. Onthe same day, petitioner was

    subjected to an emergencycaesarian operation due to ec-lampsia. On the same proce-dure, petitioner also deliveredher child with the respondent.Petitioner was dischargedfrom the said hospital only onFebruary 19, 1998. Attachedhereto as Annex C is a ma-chine copy of the OperationRecord of the petitioner, andas Annex D, is a machinecopy of the medical certica-tion of the petitioner.

    12. The next day, or onFebruary 14, 1998, the parentsof the respondent made hersign a document and informedher that she had to sign thesame so that it would appearthat the child was born dur-ing a valid marriage betweenthe parties herein. Heavilydrugged and still recuperat-ing from her major surgicaloperation, petitioner thoughtnothing of what the respond-ents parents were asking herto do. She afxed her signa-ture on the documents and itwas only after she obtained acopy of the birth certicate ofher child did petitioner realizethat it was made to appear thatshe had gotten married to therespondent on February 14,1998 and gave birth on thesame day. This is completelycontrary to the actual stateevents as in fact petitionergave birth on February 13,1998 and never declared cat-egorically that she took him asher husband.

    11. From the time that thepetitioner gave birth to herchild with the respondent anduntil the child reached the ageof three (3), the parties hereinwere residing in Batangaswith the respondents grand-mother. Petitioner not onlyhad to look after the grand-mother who was sickly, butshe likewise had to tend to herchild and worry about theirabsolute lack of income since

    the respondent showed an ab-solute lack of determinationto provide for his family. In-stead, the respondent showedan inclination to while histime away, drinking beer withhis friends.

    12. This dismal state ofaffairs went on for the partiesherein and their child untilsometime in 2005-2006 whenthe respondent was offeredemployment in Dubai. Think-ing that their family would -nally be able to enjoy a more

    comfortable life, respondentcruelly dashed the hopes ofthe petitioner by not sendingto her any portion of his in-come.

    13. Due to the respond-ents refusal to send any andtheir child any support, pe-titioner was forced to plantand tend to some vegetabes inthe small yard at the back ofthe house of the respondentsgrandmother. She would then

    peddle the vegetables just soshe and her child could havesomething to eat. Aside fromthis, petitioner laundered andironed the clothes of other

    persons so that she could sim-ply make ends meet.

    14. By this time, respond-ents mother had become ex-

    tremely antagonistic towardsthe petitioner, and made lifefor the latter so miserable,such that petitioner, was leftno other choice but to leavethe respondent sometime in2006.

    CAUSE OF ACTIONPetitioner repleads the

    foregoing allegations by refer-ence and additionally states:

    15. Petitioner anchors herclaim for the nullity of hermarriage with Respondent onArticle 4 of the Family Codein correlation with Article 3 ofthe same code.

    16. Articles 3 and 4 of theFamily Code states, to wit:

    Art. 3. The formal requi-sites of marriage are:

    (1) Authority of the solem-

    nizing ofcer;(2) A valid marriage li-cense except in the cases pro-vided for in Chapter 2 of thisTitle; and

    (3) A marriage ceremonywhich takes place with the ap-

    pearance of the contractingparties before the solemnizingofcer and their personal dec-laration that they take eachother as husband and wife inthe presence of not less thantwo witnesses of legal age.

    Art. 4. The absence of anyof the essential or formal req-uisites shall render the mar-riage void ab initio, except as

    stated in Article 35 (2)17. The facts as narrated

    by the Petitioner clearly showthat there was an absolutelack of absence of a marriageceremony wherein the partiesherein appear personally be-fore the solmenizing ofcerand declared in the presenceof not less than two witnessesof legal age that they take eachother as husband and wife.

    18. In fact, it would nothave been possible for the

    petitioner and the Respondentto appear before the Ofce ofthe Municipal Mayor in Ibaan,Batangas on February 14,1998 as in fact the former had

    been admitted to the Mahalna Virgen Maria, Sto. RosarioDistrict Hospital on February13, 1998 and had undergonean extremely sensitive surgi-cal operation on February 13,1998, the same day that theirmarriage appears to have beensolemnized.

    19. Due to the major sur-gery that petitioner underwenton February 13, 1998, peti-tioner was still recuperatingfrom the same on February14, 1998. This allegation is

    buttressed by the records ofthe aforesaid hospital whichstate that the petitioner herselfwas discharge only on April19, 1998.

    20. Due to the medicalcondition that the petitionerwas in on February 14, 1998,she was merely asked to signseveral documents. This wasmotivated by the desire tomake it appear that the childof the parties herein would ap-

    pear to be legitimate. In fact,their daughter was actually

    born on February 13, 1998,but because they could onlymake it appear that they ob-tained the marriage licenseon said date, the parties were

    forecd to make it appear thattheir marriage was celebratedon February 14, 1998 and assuch they likewise had to statethat the child was born onFebruary 14, 1998.

    21. In sum, the partiesnever, at any point in time,categorically and publiclydeclared that they took eachother as husband and wife, in-stead they opted for the easierroute and simply afxed theirsignatures on their marriagecontract. Honorable as theintention of the parties mayseem, their declaration shall

    be contained in the marriagecerticate that they did so in acomplete and utter sham.

    22. The law has alwaysupheld the sanctity of mar-riage and as such, marriagewas never intended to be amere agreement to be enteredinto for the convenience of the

    parties. In obtaining and sign-ing a marriage certicate is a

    contravention of the relevantprovisions of the law andmakes the marital union ofthe parties void from the be-ginning for lacking the formalrequisite of marriage.

    PRAYERWHEREFORE, it is most

    respectfully prayed that judg-ment be rendered DECLAR-ING the marriage betweenthe Petitioner and Respondent

    NULL and VOID.Other equitable reliefs

    and remedies are likewise

    prayed for.RESPECTFULLY SUB-MITTED.

    LOS ANGELES, Cali-ornia -- Manny Pacquiaoschie trainer Freddie Roachassured that the career othe Filipino boxing champis not over yet despite his

    recent deeat to Mexicanboxer Juan Manuel Mar-quez.

    Roach even said thata rematch with Marquez,who scored a sixth-roundknockout over his wardlast Saturday (Sunday inManila), should be held assoon as possible.

    Te 52-year-old Hallo Famer also assured thatwhat Pacquiao showed inhis three-month prepa-rations and his peror-mance in his ourth ghtwith Marquez is proo thatthe eighth-division world

    champion still has gottenwhat it takes to continueghting.

    I saw Manny at his bestin our training camp inmany years and I saw himat his best atop the ringlast Saturday, Roach said.Manny should be back insaddle at once and ght asearly as possible. I reportsare true that he wants Mar-quez or the h time, so beit.

    Te ve-time rainer othe Year honoree, inciden-tally, lost or the rst time to

    Marquezs trainer IgnacioNacho Beristain in theirve meetings, includingthat o the Pacquiao-OscarDela Hoya won by the Fili-pino in his rst ght as a

    welterweight.Pacquiao told Filipi-

    no sportswriters during agroup interview while intransit back to Los Ange-les that he would be ready

    to ght again, possibly inApril, against his recent tor-mentor.

    You saw the ght, eve-rybody saw the ght whereManny was dominatinguntil that crucial momentwhen he became care-less and caught Marquezsright head-on, said Roach.Manny got careless andMarquez got lucky. Tat waswhat Saturdays (Sunday inManila) ght was about andthats what boxing ans saw.

    Roach said that he andPacquiao talked about therematch a day aer the

    welterweight conronta-tion and they agreed thata rematch should be held,although promoter BobArum has somebody else inmind as the ormer pound-or-pound next assignment.

    Tat somebody whomArum preers can wait. IMarquez is agreeable tothe idea, then lets have itanywhere, even in Mexico,which I think Marquezwould be demanding, hesaid. We all know Manny.He will ght anybody andanywhere. Tats what he is.

    He never turned his backrom a ght i only to giveboxing ans the ght theywant.

    He lost by knockout,so what? Tat happens in

    boxing where you can winas many as you can andlost some anytime in yourcareer, Roach stressed. Insports, you cant win all thetime.

    He said Pacquiao wasrushed to the hospital aerhis ght with Marquez asa precautionary measure,precisely to determine theextent o damage.

    Te doctors, in act,released him immediatelyaer it was assured that hesout o danger, he said.

    Roach, likewise, agreedwith his ward that thepunch that foored Pacqui-ao or the second time wasnot that hard as others be-lieved it was.

    It just so happened thatManny was too ar a dis-

    tance to a running Marquezso that when he loungeorward with his right andwhen he missed, he gotinto Marquezs right swing,Roach said. It wasnt thathard really, but the orce ohis lounging and that o theright swing made it so.

    Asked i he will attendPacquiaos birthday bashon December 17, Roachsaid he couldnt becauseo the many things he hadneglected as he was con-centrating on the pound-or-pound kings training at

    Wild Card.I might come to thePhilippines a little later. Iwant to spend Christmasthere, he said. (SUNNEX)
