regional PNP headquarters,

Tingzon said that if ever

a police personnel would

be found out to have used

his service rearm during

the New Year reverly, he

could be charged both

a d m i n i s t r a t i v e l y a n d

criminally.Our policemen are

a l r eady aware o f the

consequences if ever he

will re his service rearm

during the celebration. We

believe that they will not

dare use their firearms to

celebrate the New Year,

Tingzon said.

According to him, for

the past years now, no single

member of the PNP from

the region have used their

firearms duringt the New

Year revelry.

TACLOBAN CITY-

Service rearms issued to all

policemen across the region

are to be sealed beginning

Saturday to ensure that these

would not be used during the

New Years eve celebration.

Senior Inspector Brigido

Tingzon, Jr.,spokersperson-

designate of the police and

community relations ofce

of the Philippine National

Police-8, said that the sealing

of service rearms will end

until January 7, 2013.This is part of the

campaign of the PNP that no

service rearms belonging

to policemen would be used

during the New Years Eve

celebration, Tingzon said.

Tingzon said about 6,000

service rearms would be

sealed, representing the

same number of police force

in the region.

He said that even Chief

Superintendent Elmer Soria,

police regional director, is

not exempted to this policy.

Sealing of policemens service rearms starts todayBut Tingzon claried that

while the service rearms

of the policemen would be

muzzled, this would not

mean that they could not

use them.

According to him, if it

is in line of their function

or duty, they could still use

their service rearms.

There is an exception to

this policy. There will be an

investigation if the discharge

(of rearm) is in line of his

duty or not, Tingzon said.

He also urged private

gun holders not to use

GSIS-PhilPost Agreement. GSIS President and General Manager Robert G. Vergara and

Philippine Postal Corporation (PPC) Postmaster General and Chief Executive Ofcer Ma.

Josena M. Dela Cruz shake hands after signing a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to

settle the latters premium arrearages. With this, PPCs 8,121 employees can now le for

a GSIS loan while its retirees can expect adjustments in their pensions corresponding to

the payments. Since 2010, GSIS has already signed 104 MOAs with other governmentagencies to restore their good standing status and employees benets.

On the achievements of the administration for 2012

When the Filipino people gave an overwhelming mandate to President Benigno S. Aquino III in 2010, there were thosewho remained skeptical of the extent of reforms that can be instituted, given the entrenched culture of corruption andmistrust of government.

The many achievements of the Aquino administration in 2012 should put those doubts to rest. At home and around theworld, the Philippines has become recognized as a bastion of stability and good governance. Through hard work, deftdecision-making, and intense political will, the President has laid down the foundations of justice and inclusive growth.Through it all, he continues to clean house, eliminate waste, and put primacy on restoring public trust in our institutions.

Almost a year after calls for all out war against Moro separatists were answered by a rm and sober all out justicestance by the President, the MILF and GRP signed a historic Framework Agreement that sets the stage for a nal, en-during peace in Mindanao. This is among the rst successful dialogues between a government and a Muslim separatistmovement in the modern era, and could set the template on how to peacefully handle such conflicts across the world.

While an atmosphere of peace is now beginning to set over the conflict-ridden south, the entire country is experiencinga newfound sense of justice and fairness. After the President publicly announced judicial reform as among the bedrocksof his agenda, the House of Representatives impeached former Chief Justice Renato Corona over allegations of betray-ing the public trust. He was later on convicted and removed from ofce by an overwhelming majority of Senators. Thisheralded the arrival of a judiciary characterized not by secrecy and patronage, but by integrity and competence. Theappointment of Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno, and later Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, sustained the momentumof reform in the judiciary.

The message is clear: If a Chief Justice can be impeached-- and a former president put under hospital arrest for allegedplunder and electoral sabotage-- then so can anyone; a crime is a crime, regardless of wealth or status in society. Withthis principle in mind, the President signed into law the Anti-Enforced or Involuntary Disappearance Act, the rst of itskind in Asia, which criminalizes the unlawful arrest of civilians and ensures the preservation and protection of every Fili-pinos civil liberties. This law clearly demonstrates the Presidents commitment to human rights. Through these reforms,we are strengthening a system where the law serves the people and works towards their full development. Withoutdoubt, we are moving towards a society where fairness reigns-- fueled by a people empowered by its government.

Nowhere is this empowerment more evident than in the investments that the government has channeled towards educa-tion, health, and poverty alleviation. Agencies such as the Department of Health, the Department of Education, and theDepartment of Social Welfare and Development (which spearheads the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program,) have allexperienced sharp increases in their budget, proving the Presidents resolve to lift our countrymen from the margins ofsociety.

Congress enacted the Responsible Parenthood Law to foster public health and access to information on reproductivehealth to citizens who are free to act in accordance with their conscience. In this manner, a deeply divisive issue was

nally resolved. Health for the citizenry also informed the momentous passage of the Sin Tax Reform Law. After languish-ing for several terms, and in the face of tremendous pressure from lobbyists, Congress responded to the bills certica-tion as urgent by the President, and passed the law before the end of the year. Legislators, commentators, and mediahave all lauded the Presidents political will in passing these laws.

These political initiatives came hand-in-hand with a roaring economy, one that has experienced strong growth and stableinflation despite the uncertainties of the global economy. Philippine GDP growth for the 3rd quarter hit a two-year highof 7.1 percent-- the highest in Southeast Asia, and among the top performing economies in Asia. Meanwhile, the Philip-pine Stock Exchange index this year broke record high after record high, soaring above expectations and breaching the5,800 mark. The Philippine Peso also appreciated by as much as 6 percent this year and is projected to gain even morestrength in the coming year.

These positive indicators are underpinned by an administration that has maintained scal discipline, initiated reforms toramp up quality public spending, and invested heavily in both social and physical infrastructure. This is manifested in the2.006 trillion peso General Appropriations Act for 2013, 10.5 percent higher than the 2012 budget. The 2013 GAA contin-ues the Aquino administrations tradition of an on-time passage of the budget-- eliminating leak-prone reenactments andshowing the determination of government to ensure that every peso of the budget is spent wisely.

Not only is the President enjoying the highest sustained public approval ratings in history-- he is also being recognized bythe international community as a true leader in foreign affairs. The Philippines has taken the lead in upholding a peaceful,multilateral, and consensus-driven diplomatic approach as regards territorial disputes. In this regard, President Aquinohas stood his ground thus gaining the admiration of his fellow leaders in the global arena.

While these past two and half years have been a period of continued renewal for the country, 2012 in particular hasbeen a year of rebuilding and restoration. This year we saw the full effect of political will used correctly and for the rightpurposes, knowing that power is merely lent by the people to their leaders to ultimately serve the countrys best interests.By all indicators, this was the best year for the Philippines in a long time, a time for celebration and pride for the reclaimedstanding of our country as we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other rising nations of the world.

In 2012, we turned the corner, xed the damage wrought by the crooked ways of the past, and established further that thestraight path is the only way forward. Despite the tragedies that have visited the country in 2012-- from natural disastersto the untimely demise of a beloved reformist-- the Filipino people have shown that their spirit cannot be broken. As theadministration embarks on 2013, there is all the more reason for Filipinos to travel on the straight path under the leader-ship of President Aquino and the adherents to his noble cause.

Commentary

fr. roy cimagala

ON the heels of the latest mas-

sacre of little school children in

Newton, Connecticut, is the raging

debate about gun control. One item

that caught my attention was that

of the pro-gun advocate, Wayne

Lapierre, executive vice-president

of the National Rifle Association.

He accused Hollywood, video

games, music, the courts and the

media of much of the culture of

violence that seems to be engulng

American society in general. My

spontaneous reaction was to agree

with him.

Whenever I take a boat in myoccasional trips to the islands, I end

up having a terrible time because I

cannot help but watch at least a lit-

tle of the movies and hear the music

shown and played in the vessels.

They all seem to swing between

two possibilities onlyviolence

and sex, and of course, a dam burst

Trapped in the senses

of inanities, senselessness

and ridiculous plots and sto-

rylines that sometimes lead

me to wonder whether theworld has really gone crazy.

The little consolation I

get is that many of the co-

passengers appear not to be

paying much attention to

these movies. I only hear

their reactions when the

scene on the screen is comi-

cal. Otherwise, like me they

seem to avoid looking at

them.But I worry about those

who nd these lms and mu-

sic interesting. And these are

mostly the young people.

What do you think would

happen if everyday you get

a heavy dose of sex and vio-

lence around? I would say

that no matter how we con-

sider ourselves as mature

enough to be able to distin-

guish between real life and

ction, sooner or later we

will be affected by what we

see and hear often around us.

These days, there are

many people whom I con-

sidered trapped in the world

of the senses, ruled mainly

by their instincts and emo-

tions, and easily vulnerable

to mere impulses of the flesh

and the usually improperly

grounded worldly valuesand ways.

I dont refer much to

those who are already emo-

tionally or mentally dis-

turbed and even sick. I refer

more to the so-called normal

people, who can manage to

he statistics of people losing a part of their

limbs and experiencing unnecessary pain

has denitely gone down through the yearsbut there is still some who are deaf to the massive

campaign of the Department of Health cautioning

families to discourage people especially children

from using recrackers to celebrate the holidays.Since Christmas Eve, there are already 1000 cases

brought to hospitals in Metro manila alone. This

does not include the statistics during the New Year

where it has been the tradition to meet it with noise

and recrackers.

Families are too stubborn and hard-headed to

heed the warnings; that they just ignore the advi-

sory given by the authorities. The government has

to come up with a stiffer action to thwart ac-

cidents, loss of properties and lives due to the

wanton use of recrackers and dangerous ma-

terials from being used to celebrate the holi-

days.

It is very possible to meet the New Year, and

other festivities with merry-making and jovi-al mood free from the usual dismemberment

and unnecessary pain. The practice has been

successfully implemented in Davao City and

in other local government units. The enjoy-

ment and celebratory mood of the people in

these places are not lessened, and at the end

families are happy that no one from among

1 Jn 2:3-11 Ps 96 Lk 2:22-35

THE PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE

When the days were completed for their purication according tothe law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took Jesus up to Jerusalem to pre-sent him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Everymale that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and tooffer the sacrice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, inaccordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Now there was aman in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteousand devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the holy Spirit wasupon him. It had been revealed to him by the holy Spirit that he shouldnot see death before he had seen the Messiah of the Lord. He came inthe Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the childJesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him, he took himinto his arms and blessed God, saying: Now, Master, you may let yourservant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seenyour salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a lightfor revelation to the Gentiles, and glory to your people Israel. Thechilds father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and

Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this childis destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign thatwill be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that thethoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

CONSIDER DEATH

Browsing through the books in the childrens section, Holly cameacross a nicely illustrated book of prayers that would be perfect for herniece, Allison. She paged through it and liked what she saw until shefound a little prayer she learned as a kid: Now I lay me down to sleep.I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Stay close to me throughout the night.,And wake me with the morning light. She thought, Whatever hap-pened to If I should die before I wake? Holly just discovered that inthe culture that sells youth and vitality, death has become a well-keptsecret. Thank God that the church encourages us to prepare ourselvesfor the hour of our death (CCC#1014). We still pray todays gospel,called Simeons canticle, at Night Prayer and ask for Marys prayerfulhelp at the hour of our death. Prayer: Oh Master of my life, if I wereto die this day I would not be disappointed; nor would I feel as thoughI missed anything. For you have shown me love and salvation. Guide

me to death and beyond. Action: Consider how you would feel if youdied today. Think about what you would angry about and what youwould be grateful for.

In a couple of days, cal-

endar year 2012 bids fare-

well. Customary among

Filipinos is coming up

with New Years Resolu-

tion along with the current

years exodus. From chang-

ing lifestyle and improving

health habits to amend-ing crucial decisions and

rebuilding relations with

friends and kin, these plans

for reform are vast and

myriad as there are millions

of warm and living souls

who believe in it, regardless

of whether they succeed or

Self-rule in Old Age and Little Help

Of Cabbages

& Kings...dr. nila l. filamor

My 85 year-old mom,

who is cognitively smart

and gets around more than

I do, still lives in the ances-

tral house, bathe, dress and

undress, and go outside

each day for some fresh airwith alternating little help

from Vida, Albert, Sherwin

and Cleofe. Sweet Myrna

shops, prepares and serves

meals, do light housekeep-

ing and make sure she

takes her medications on

time.

Last weekend, mom at-

tended the Clan Reunion

with Vida on her toes. Then

what? She was requested

to make the Christmas

message being the oldest

. Vida was anxious what

poor gradmom wouldsay. Vida was amazed how

mom delivered her mes-

sage with clarity and vivid

memory recall.

Mom has outlived the

universal health indica-

tor of women which is 72

years old for developed na-

tions. Complicating mat-

ters, her small pension is

still coming and am afraid

the social security ofce

might knock at our door

realizing that given such

a case might bankrupt the

system. I have warned ourgatekeeper never to admit

anybody in the house of

this and similar concerns,

and she knows I am kid-

ding but serious.

When asked to visit

Cebu for the holidays, she

wanted to remain in her

own home as long as pos-

sible. She thinks the situa-

tion is too burdensome for

her aide, and such sweet

thoughtfulness is truly

mom even in her pre-depar-

ture stage, as my late dad

describes. Never a burden,

even the driver is dispensa-

ble to her flights.

Mom lives in self-rule

and needs little outside

help. All she does is ring

the phone for any concern:

her range of issues cover

from land titling, daily

menu, the picture frame on

the wall, the lavatory gone

awry and inventory of dear

friends who has joined our

Creator. I think she is ter-

ried of the idea that she is

the lone survivor of John

Bunyans innumerable

caravan that leads to the

mysterious realm.

On the other hand, see-

ing her age gracefully, I

think we have to retrot

our homes, neighborhood

networks reconnected and

new villages planned. To

assist declining eye sight,

brighter bulbs may be t-

ted at home and access ar-

eas like rest rooms be so

guided with night lamps. I

am thinking of myself too,

in old age - if I grow old

at all like mom, although I

am only half of moms age.

For my retirement, I have to

renovate a home package

which could include roller

kitchen, bathroom, show-

ers, faucets from nowhere

and zero-step aisles and

wide hallways. Maybe, in

my twilight years, my Du-

lag farm can be converted

into a retirement destina-

tion for anybody willing

to grow old with me of

course with independence

and little assistance as can

be.

Mama, Merry Christmas

and more years to cheer!

not. For them, the promise

of a new beginning comes

with ushering in the dawn

of a new year with trumpets

and reworks.

Constant as there are

countless who indulge in

having for themselves the

New Years Resolution,some persons could not

help but ask: Is it neces-

sary? Really, one could

quip, Do we need to have

this New Years Resolution

when we can make such

restructuring in our lives

as soon as possible wher-

ever we are and whenever

we have to? Antagonistic

yet pragmatic, this query

is. Try to check the answer

yourself. Ask right upon

your own countenance howmuch you have accom-

plished your New Years

Resolution. What reply do

you get?

Let us take a realistic

outlook on this New Year

craze. Was it not supposed

to be the end of the world

on December 21, 2012,

according to doomsay-

ers (now called amalay-

ers)? Had it occurred and

you were not bent on doing

your personal transforma-

tion, like not being nasty

anymore, or not crashinginto someone elses party

or throwing gossips here

and there, because it was

not New Year yet, do you

honestly believe you will

die in peace? Had you been

among those who perished

but you failed to reconcile

with your enemies and

those whom you hurt or

have hurt you, do you think

you will nd your way to

Heaven?

I vividly recall the hom-

ily of Rev. Fr. Wilson Chu

in a Sunday Mass he cel-

ebrated at Sto. Nino Church

in Tacloban. One phrase

strongly captured my mind:

Edit your life. He said,

our life is like a compact

disc that will be presented

before God on the day we

pass from this life. This CD

of our life will be shown to

Him in the condition that it

ended and will be His basis

in judging each and every

human. Meaning, as Fr.

Chu explained, whatever

appears there if one re-

mains in the state of sin, so

be it. Thus, it is of utmost

importance that while hu-

mans have the opportunity

to do so, he should rather

edit his life. Edit your

life, Fr. Chu exclaimed as

he stressed this vital point

necessary for our eternal

life.

behave well in a civil way

when in the open, but cannot

regulate their wild instincts

and emotions when they are

hidden and solitary.

Their imagination can run

amuck. The direction of their

thoughts and feelings can re-

ally go berserk. And since

these are mainly hidden, then

they usually go unchecked

and are allowed to fester.

This is when people can

go spiritually lukewarm,

losing interest in prayer, in

keeping the effort to be in

Gods presence, and in mak-

ing sacrices which are an

indispensable ingredient of

any follower of Christ.

This is when people start

making compromises with

evil, starting with little ones

like the venial sins and wors-ening as time passes by, until

big and horrendous crimes

and other malicious acts

can be done with hardly any

pangs of conscience.

Sex is trivialized. Sacred-

ness of life, of marriage, of

delity and the other virtues

ebb away like the sea in low

tide. Since this condition

usually prevails where the

environment is not only spir-

itually lukewarm but also

bombarded with sex and vio-

lence, then immoralities be-

come social norms and caneven be made into laws.

We need to be freed from

the trap of our senses and

merely worldly values, and

thus some extraordinary

measures would have to be

used from time to time. The

lives of saints show us this.

It is said that to preserve

their purity, St. Francis of

Assisi rolled on the snow, St.

Benedict threw himself into

a thorn bush, St. Bernard

plunged into an icy pond.

Many of us are averse to this

idea, given our current cul-ture, but measures like these

are but the most logical thing

to do to effectively counter

the enemies ranged against

us.

We also need to ll our

mind with things of God. We

should not just be contented

with being naturally good,

or good according to human

standards, or to merely so-

cial and legal norms.

Christ himself said that

unless your justice abounds

more than that of the scribes

and Pharisees, you shall not

enter into the kingdom of

heaven. (Mt 5,20)

We need to make a con-

scious and abiding effort to

be Gods presence and tomake our relationship and

working relationship of love.

Outside of these, we can-

not expect to be freed from

the grip of the sensual and

the material. Outside of

these, we will always remain

vulnerable to the impulses of

the flesh and the erratic ways

of the world.

Case No. 656

For: NULLITY OF

MARRIAGE

x- - - - - - -x

PETITIONPETITIONER, though

the undersigned counsel and

unto this Honorable Court,

most respectfully states:1. That petitioner is of

legal age, Filipino, married

to herein respondent, with

residence at Brgy. Wilson,

Mayorga, Leyte where he

may be served with notices,

orders and legal processes of

this Honorable Court; that re-

spondent is likewise of legal

age, Filipino, married to here-

in petitioner, with last known

address at Brgy. Wilson, May-

orga, Leyte where she may be

served with notices, orders

and other legal processes of

this Honorable Court;

2. That both parties have

the capacity to sue and be

sued.

3. That herein respond-

ents became pregnant while

they were still in a relation-

ship with each other; that it

is for this reason that they

entered into a contract of

marriage on May 13. 2000 at

Viga, Catanduanes, Philip-

pines; that despite this fact,

petitioner became a good

husband to herein respondent

and was never oblivious of

his responsibility of being the

provider of the family; a copy

of their marriage certicate

is hereto attached as Annex

A and made an integral part

hereof.

4. That a year after their

rst child, Gwyneth Jasareno

Bernal, was born, herein re-

spondent labored their sec-

ond child, Ian James Jasareno

Bernal; machine copies of the

childrens live birth are hereto

attached as Annexes B and

C respectively and made in-

tegral parts hereof;

5. That this prompted pe-

titioner to look for a better and

brighter opportunity abroad inorder to provide sufciently

for thr needs of his growing

family; that in as much as he

would want to see his children

grow, he chose to sacrice and

work in a place miles apart

from his family to secure their

future --- a temporary separa-

tion in exchange of a brighter

and secured future together;

that petitioner can only close

his eyes while he faces the sad

reality;

6. That their actual cohab-

itation lasted only for more

than one (1) year since herein

petitioner went to Dubai,

United Arab of Emirates on

August 11, 2001 (one month

prior to the birth of their sec-

ond child) to work as a super-visor in the butchery depart-

ment of an enterprise; that he

worked there for more than

two (2) years and went back to

the Philippines on January 22,

2004 only; that after a month

of vacation in the country, he

went back again to Dubai to

continue his work;

7. That during his em-

ployment in Dubai, herein

petitioner has been hearing

rumors from the townspeople

in Viga, Catanduanes, which

are corroborated by their rela-

tives, that herein respondent

is having an illicit relation-

ship with petitioners rst

degree cousin, Joshua Turado-

Turirit, who was only, during

that time, 21 or 22 years old,

that said illicit affair started

just after petioner departed

for Dubai; that it was not re-

spondents rst and last act

of indelity for she also had

subsequent dishonest relation-

ships with different men the

petitioner was torn whether to

identify all of them or not for

the consequence was still the

same;

8. That being far away

and unable to go home as

much as he wanted to, herein

petitioner could do nothing

but sop up the painful truth

about his wifes indelity, that

he was as much worried about

their childrens welfare as he

also learned from their rela-

tives that respondent started

neglecting and reneging her

obligations to their children;

9. That when petitioner

returned to the Philippines on

June 17, 2007, he immediately

found a way to clear things up

and thereafter conversed with

his wife for him to see pointblank the truthfulness of the

report; that to his dismay, nei-

ther did her wife conrm nor

belie the buzz; that for him,

her apathy was a conrmation

of the news; that either way,

it was then impossible for re-

spondent to deny everything

for the surrounding circum-

stances would undoubtedly

prove her indelity;

10. That to avoid the over-

whelmingly scandalous situa-

tion, petitioner, together with

herein respondent and their

children, decided to transfer

to Mayorga, Leyte and start

anew; that despite everything,

he dicided to give his wife a

chance to change and to be

able to x their marriage andfamily as petitioner values the

importance of a family that is

whole and instilled with great

values; that this is the very

reason why he is working hard

abroad;

11. That petitioner left

again and continue to work

abroad; that contrary to his

expectations, respondent had

not, after all, changed; instead

she continued her old doings

and engaged into another re-

lationship taking advantage

of the fact that petitioner was

nowhere near to monitor what

is happening;

12. That words came to

petitioners knowledge that

respondent eloped with her

boyfriend, who was said to be

a teacher;

13. That petitioner tried

his best, through the help of

their relatives; to locate the

whereabouts of his wife but

they failed; respondent hadnt

had any plan of showing her-

self up and explain everything

to her husband;

14. That these negative

attributes of the respondent

which borders on her indel-

ity and irresponsibility are

clear manifestations of her

being unable to perform the

essential marirtal obligations

expected of a spouse; that her

continued engagement into re-

lationships with different men

caused her to be truly incogni-

tive of the basic marital cov-

enants that concurrently must

be assumed and discharged

by her to their marriage which

include their mutual obliga-

tion to live together, observe

mutual love, respect, delity

and render help and support;

15. That above premisesconsidered, the respondent is

psychologically incapacitated

to assume and perform the

essential obligations of mari-

tal life; thus, under the New

Family Code, their marriage

is practically null and void;

16. That the cause of this

incapacity of the respondent

is rooted on a psychologi-

cal disorder which is deeply

rooted from her childhood and

has been persistent until her

adulthood such as a cure of the

same becomes vain; this men-

tal or psychological condition

will be medically or clinically

certied by proven experts as

grave and incurable;

17. That having been ac-

tually separated from the re-spondent for quite a time, pe-

titioner no longer has the love

and affection for her; earnest

efforts towards a reconcilia-

tion have been made but the

same have failed; hence, for

society to compel petitioner to

live together with his wife is

tantamount to forcing him to

once again suffer the insuffer-

able, endure the unendurable

and bear the unbearable;

18. That the parties hereto

did not acquire substantial as-

sets during their brief union.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, in view

of the foregoing it is most re-

spectfully prayed of this Hon-

orable Court that a decree be

issued declaring the parties

marriage void ab initio on

the ground of psychological

incapacity on the part of the

respondent, with all the legal

consequences thereof.

Other reliefs just and eq-

uitable under the premises is

also similarly prayed for.

This editing waits no

time, no season. It is always

ASAP. If we have to make

amends with our neighbors

and especially family mem-

ers, as our beloved cler-

ics have been telling us, we

should do so without wait-

ing for New Year. Rev. Fr.

Amadeo Alvero, in a homily

during the Christmas Party

Mass he celebrated at the

Bulwagan ng Katarungan in

Tacloban last December 20,

exhorted the congregation to

e at peace with one another

now that we are still living

ecause it is already too late

to regret not having said sor-

ry to the person we hurt if he

has already passed away.

With these words to pon-

der, a gem of thought, I live

to you the same message

Do not procrastinate in do-

ing what is right and pleas-ing before the eyes of Father

The dawn...from page 5

God. Tomorrow, indeed, may

be too late if the end of your

world comes.

Likewise I extend my

deepest gratitude to those

who have stayed with me

through my ups and downs,

who cheered me up in my

lowest moments and pro-

pelled up my spirit to the

point that I could almost

shout for joy. For those who

have showed their support,

graciousness and coopera-

tion, my sincerest thanks.

To all of you, May Gods

countenance be upon you

and bring you peace, happi-

ness, much love and prosper-

ity through the days of your

Above all, my soul re-

joices in Christ my Savior for

He has rescued me. There-

their love-ones and kin

has been hurt.

The suggestion to des-

ignate specic areas as

recrackers area is a

laudable one. It will make

sure that children are not

allowed in it. This prac-

tice is being implemented

in the US and other coun-

tries. Such practice if

employed in the country

will ensure that recrack-

ers-instigated res are

lessened if not totally pre-

vented. Loss of lives and

properties will be pre-

vented from happening.

In these hard times, the

government has to push

extra measures that will

prevent unnecessary inci-

Meeting...from page 4

dents and accidents

from happening

that only worsen

the economic situations

of hapless individuals

and families. It is also

high time that more

stringent penalties are

put into place.

Remembering the

New Year three years

ago still brings some

pain and fear when aneighbor, a family of

Indian nationals used

a high-powered re-

cracker out of incon-

siderate display of clout

and power led to the

bursting of the cable

wires that rendered us

cable-free for one day.

Instead of being sorry,

the family just closed

their door and glee-

fully laughed aloud, it

is good that no one washurt during this episode

of wanton outburst and

disrespect for others.
