onight we bid good-bye to 2012 and wel-

come with high hopes of year 2013 that

will cater in improved socio-economiclives of our people ringing alive in our system.

This is happening on account of good govern-

ance in the Philippines being effectively pursued

by a popular President, Noynoy C. Aquino III.

Investor condence is high. Economic experts

project it will remain high onwards. This spells

prosperity as an aftermath, again attributed to

a credible national leadership.

On the part of the governed the Philippine

citizenry, they have a role to play. That age-old

`new years resolution is still a viable game,

declaring unto ourselves changes of attitudes

thoughts and actions towards governance.

With faith and condence in national lead-

ership it is incumbent upon us to ask: What

can I therefore contribute to the develop-

ment of the nation?

Primarily each of us should ponder what

we can do rst to help ourselves for our own

progress. A progressive citizen can do a lot

to help our nation achieve its goals. With

such wholesome atmosphere of governance

we can initiate our own plans for our own

progress that will eventually make a lot of

good for our country.

We wish everyone a Happy and Prosper-

ous Year 2013.

Commentary

fr. roy cimagala

BEFORE we dismiss the idea

as being outlandish, outrageous or

whatever, we just have to remind

ourselves that we are meant to live

our life with God. And this is not

only in heaven, our denitive state

in eternity, but right here and now.

No matter from what angle we

look at the issue, even if we take the

atheist view, we cannot escape from

the reality that our life, in its utter

objectivity, not minding rst our

subjectivity, is a life with God.

And thats simply because God

is the one giving us our very exist-

ence. And precisely because it is

existence that he gives us, he can-not but be the one also to keep and

maintain it, otherwise, if he with-

draws from us, then we would cease

to exist.

For sure, our existence does not

depend solely on the food we eat,

the water we drink, the good health

and other things that we may enjoy.

They contribute, of course,

but it is God who is rst of

all responsible for our exist-

ence.With this clarication,

we overcome what may be

referred to as the deistic bias

which considers God only as

Creator, giving us our exist-

ence at the start of our life,

but leaving us alone after

that.

And so he is always in us

as he is also in all other crea-

tures and things. That is why

we say God is everywhere.He is omnipresent. And if

that is so, then he is also in

each one of us.

Except that in our case,

his presence in us is not

meant to be simply passive

or inert. It is an active pres-

ence that corresponds to our

nature as a person endowedwith the power to know, to

be free and responsible, to

choose, to love, etc.

In short, we are supposed

to correspond to that pres-

ence by at least being aware

of him and then start devel-

oping a relationship that re-

ects all the aspects of our

lifepersonal, spiritual, so-

cial, material, professional,

economic, political, etc.

This is where we have

to cultivate the skill of rec-

ognizing his presence wher-

ever we are. We need tocultivate this skill, exerting

the appropriate effort for it,

because being aware of his

presence does not come to

us automatically.

God is spiritual, and

more than that is supernatu-

Monday, 7th Day in the Octave of Christmas1 Jn 2:18-21 Ps 96 Jn1:1-18

THE WORD

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, andthe Word as God. He was in the beginning with God. All things cameto be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came tobe through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race;the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.A man named John was sent from God. He came for the testimony, totestify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was notthe light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlight-ens everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and theworld came to be through him, but the world did not know him. Hecame to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. Butto those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God,to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural gen-eration nor by human choice nor by a mans decision but of God. Andthe Word became esh and made his dwelling among us, and we sawhis glory, the glory as of the Fathers only Son, full of grace and truth.John testied to him and cried out, saying, This was he of whom Isaid, The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because heexisted before me. From his fullness we have all received, grace inplace of grace, because while the law was g iven through Moses, graceand truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. Theonly Son, God, who is at the Fathers side, has revealed him.

GOD IN HUMAN FLESH

As a builder carefully lays a strong foundation that will supportthe mass of the complete building, so the author of Johns gospel art-fully develops a powerful and poetic prologue that will support theweight of his theological structure. For John, everything hinges on theastounding premise that the Word became esh; God has become ahuman being! This changes everything, the understanding that followsis that God has offered a new covenant. He makes clear (and preach-ers need to make clear) that this is not the covenant of the law, the onewith Moses. This is not the Ten Commandments. This is the gospel ofGods grace shown to us in Jesus Christ. Mortal esh will no longerbe condemned by sin. Grace will win the victory! Prayer: With greatjoy I welcome you into my world, Lord Jesus. You are with me in myown body. You share my esh and blood. In you I nd hope, for in youmy sins are forgiven and I become a child of God. Action: close youreyes. Put all things out of your mind and listen to your breathing. Feelthe life in you. That is God dwelling with you. (Between Sundays byPaul Boudreau, published by Paulines.

From ADistance

joey e. clarin

This is the timely mo-

ment for Pacquiao to re-

ect/meditate on his box-

ing career. For the last 3

years, he had been pre-oc-

cupied with so many con-cerns aside from boxing.

There were other activities

which range from politics,

show business, product en-

dorsements, TV guesting to

preaching as a born again

Christian. These proved to

be too much for so serious

a business like boxing that

requires full-time attention.

In contrast, his opponent

Juan Manuel Marquez has

a 100% concentration on

boxing that he trained for 4months training.

Pacquiao abandoned his

faith that his mother, Di-

onisia raised him up. Pac-

quiao deliberately deviated

from his usual practice of

wearing a rosary when he

climbs into the ring making

the sign of the cross before

the ght and not attending

the usual Saturday morningpre-ght mass.

Instead, Pacquiao opted

to attend the bible service

which denitely showed

that he had abandoned his

Catholic faith.

The thought of Pacquiao

retiring should be seriously

considered by him. After

all, he has nothing more

to prove in boxing. He is

the only 8 times World

Champion in different di-

visions, was rated Fighter

of the Decade and 3 times

declared as Fighter of theYear.

He has done as proud as

Filipinos among the com-

munity of nations. Our

newest Filipino boxing

sensation Nonito Donaire

thinks its not yet time for

Pacquiao to hang up his

Before I thought of writ-

ing on the subject matter, I

was warned by my daugh-

ter never to use 4Ps to mean

Pantawid Pamilyang Pili-

pino Program as they have

received a Memorandum

from Secretary Soliman

regarding the issue. I hadto ask, why? To my mind,

4Ps is easy to remember

and easier to pronounce. I

was told that most often,

clients mispronounce it to

four sh or others mean

the Ps as Peace processes.

To most of my friends

who have aversion to

dole-outs, they think that

the Pantawid program is

a dole-out and is teaching

the poor to be lazy or even

lazier. This article to in-

tended for them.

The Pantawid Pamily-ang Pilipino program is

a strategy taken from the

Mexico Experience that

empowers the poorest of

the poor to participate in

economic activities like

budgeting, spending and

Senses and

buying. A family bene-

ciary gets educational and

health grants from the gov-

ernment. From the meager

amount of 300 pesos each

family gets for a child of 3

to 14 years old for a maxi-

mum of 3 children per fam-

ily, the family can sendtheir children to school and

for these children to be able

to have access to health in-

terventions.

It is not a dole-out pro-

gram as there are conditions

the family has to adopt in

order for it to be in the pro-

gram otherwise, the ben-

eciaries are not given the

cash grant. Aside from the

300 pesos per child with

ages 3-14, the family also

receives 500 pesos as health

grant for 0-5 years old chil-

dren including de-worming.The assistance ensures that

children of poor families

are able to acquire primary

education and are able to

get access to health ameni-

ties. This means that chil-

dren of poor families who

cannot go to school because

of hunger and poverty are

able to do so.

It is a way of contribut-

ing or realizing the Millen-nium Development Goals

that will be gauged by 2015

for its success. The rst 5

years of the program is a

kind of social preparation

that will ultimately cul-

minate into providing the

families with livelihood as-

sistance and infrastructure

support if needed through

other government pro-

grams. By this time, these

families will no longer re-

ceive the educational and

health grants but will be

provided with livelihoodpackages that will make

them self-reliant.

People are asking why

the families are given mon-

ey instead of livelihood or

work right away. Simply

put, the program addresses

among others, the need to

achieve universal primary

education which is 3 to 14

years old. It is also ad-

dressed at eradicating ex-

treme poverty and hunger;

promoting gender equality

and empowering women;

reducing child mortalityrate; and improving mater-

nal health.

It has been observed that

member beneciaries of the

program have become more

aggressive in their econom-

ic activities. They undergo

gardening in vacant lots;

half are intended for home

consumption, the other half

are sold in markets for addi-

tional family income. The

mothers look for work in

the community while the

fathers continue with what-

ever jobs they have. By the

end of 5 years, these fami-

lies will have children who

have successfully gradu-

ated from both elementary

and high school. Slowlybut surely, the Ps that stand

for Pantawid Pamilyang

Pilipino Program will have

bridged the gap and make

the poor families capably

equipped members of soci-

ety.

gloves however, other box-

ers and boxing analysts say

its time for him to retire.

This writer is afraid that

Pacquiao might lose again

against Marquez in their

next ght as Marquez obvi-ously knows his weakness

and on the part of Pacquiao,

there is that psychologi-

cal effect that he has been

knock-out dead by Mar-

quez.

Pacqiuao, who is va-

cationing with his family

in the Holy Land should

do some soul searching on

what is his priority in life,

meditate and converse with

the Lord on what suits him.

This is the best time for

to retire. He should not

wait for time that he is de-feated again by knock-out.

He should remember the

wisdom of the Bible which

says that there is a time for

every season. There is a

time to begin and there is a

time to stop.

ral, innitely above our nature.

Nothing in our human natural

powers would enable us to de-

tect his presence without his

grace, his sharing of what hehas with us.

God takes the initiative

rst. St. Augustine expressed

this truth well when he said,

God created us without us.And he continued by saying,

But God cannot save us (or

cannot perfect us) without us.

In other words, while Godgives us always this grace, a

truth that is abundantly proven

in God sending his Son to us,

and this Son, Jesus Christ, both

God and man, accomplishedhis redemptive mission by of-

fering his life on the cross, we

on our part need to marshall

everything that we have to en-

gage ourselves with him.That is why we need to ex-

ert effort to at least be awareof his presence. We have to

nd ways for this purpose in

all situations and circumstanc-

es of our lifewhen we arealone or with others, when we

are working or resting, when

we are with the family at home

or with friends outside, when

we are in a trip, in a hotel roomalone, etc.

Each of these situations

calls for an appropriate plan

and strategy, since many arethe factors to be considered.We need to develop a certain

discipline, since we tend to be

held captive only by our hu-

man and worldly appetites,

and we nd it hard to be spir-itual.

We have to make many

acts of faith to crank up our

spiritual energies and enterinto the spiritual and supernat-

ural world. For this, we needto nd time to consider and

savor the doctrine of our faith

that would feed our prayer and

spiritual activities.

Besides, we have to do this

not only in some special mo-ments of the day, but rather

all the time, in all the circum-

stances of our life. Thus, we

need to nd ways of being in

Gods presence in every mo-ment of the day in a natural

way.

Like when things are go-

ing well or when we have

problems, when we are study-ing or doing some manual,

even menial work, when we

are using the internet, when

we do business or politics, etc.

We have to learn to live

with God always!

Although the entry ofnew players increased com-

petition and affected their

sales, local retailers theywere forced to identify newways to set themselves apartfrom the competition.

Competition breedsinnovation, said Go, Al-though it eats everybodysrevenue we have to innovateand renovate to be morecompetitive.

Go said they changestrategies to stay ahead.When somebody kicks you,you start kicking around too.So we have to expand andgo everywhere where thereis opportunity, he said.

PRA board director Jon-athan Jay Aldeguer identi-ed fashion and electronicsas among the sub-sectors inretail that are facing toughercompetition these days.

ExpansionBut he said the competi-

tion prompted local retailersto expand. Earlier this year,fashion store What A GirlWants expanded operationsin Mindanao. It also upgrad-ed its store in Ayala CenterCebu.

Yap said Cebus retailmarket has become ma-

tured, allowing local brandsto co-exist with importedand Manila-based brands.

Yap, however, said on-line retailing is a challengefor the industry.

The social media typeof marketing and online

buying has not picked upin Cebu and Region 7 yet,although most businessesthese days have slowlyadopted technology to lowertheir cost and improve ef-ciency, said Go.

Because of the highbusiness condence, con-sumers are not afraid tospend their money on thingsthey want, Calooy said.

Yap, who owns the Jun-

GadgetsConsumer spending on

gadgets rebounded from theweaker purchases last year.Consumers now purchasegadgets with advancedtechnology and improvedfunctionality despite beinga little bit pricey, Yap said,referring to mobile deviceswith Wi-Fi connectivity andsocial media tools.

Easy payment schemesoffered by banks also en-couraged consumers to in-crease spending on gadgets.

The sector, however, alsofaced challenges this year.One of these is the entry ofimported brands and the ex-

Several retail storesopened this year, amongthem JCentre Mall and Insu-lar Square in Mandaue City.

The countrys high andunexpected gross domestic

Our masa has more jobstoo. So, even sari-sari storesare enjoying better sales,said Go, whose businesssupplies goods to sari-saristores all over the Visayas.
