International Agencies Launch Health Project in Bikol (http://www.voxbikol.com/article/international-agencies-launch-health-project-bikol)

ARTICLE | DECEMBER 29, 2010 - 1:16AM | BY PIA

NAGA CITY, Dec. 22 2010 — The Philippine Red Cross local chapter here, in cooperation with the Agencia Española Cooperacion Internacional para el Desarollo (AECID), Spanish Red Cross, and Australian Red Cross, has recently launched a new project in the province of Camarines Sur to reduce the vulnerabilities of communities to health risks and natural disasters

The project, dubbed as Convenio 10-C01-033 is a community-based health development and disaster risk reduction project, will soon be implemented in selected communities in the province to reinforce the capacity of the communities and local structures to improve their basic health management. Aside from the project’s health component, it also aspires to strengthen the community’s capacity in disaster preparedness.

Target areas for project implementation are the municipalities of Siruma, Lagonoy, and Garchitorena. The municipalities of Buhi and Iriga were also added but the direct beneficiaries would be the Indigenous People in its respective selected barangays.

IPs in the two aforementioned municipalities are considered the most vulnerable and tagged as marginalized communities as they live along the slopes of Mount Asog and its many tributaries.

Nanette Rodrigazo, PRC Camarines Sur chapter administrator, said that the province is indeed lucky for having been chosen as the recipient of several projects funded by AECID, particularly the Spanish Red Cross.

“The Spanish Red Cross in particular, and of course AECID and now the Australian Red Cross have been our constant ally in alleviating and uplifting the condition of our constituents here in Camarines Sur, particularly those communities which we consider vulnerable and prone to natural disasters. We are indeed thankful that they never grow tired in supporting our chapter’s endeavors.”

The project will have the following components: capacity building for the staff, volunteers and local special bodies, organization, training and mobilization of volunteers on Health, disaster, water and sanitation , provision of equipment and supplies to health and disaster volunteers, repair and rehabilitation of health and water facilities including the provision of basic medical equipment to BEMONC (Basic Emergency Maternal, Obstetric and Neonatal Care) including establishment of Botika ng Barangay.

Information-education-communication campaigns, drills and collaboration meetings with key stakeholders and other project partners and the development of mechanisms for project monitoring, evaluation, and reporting will also be undertaken.

The project is a partnership between the provincial government, the LGUs of the municipalities aforementioned, the Philippine Red Cross-Camarines Sur chapter, Spanish Red Cross, and Australian Red Cross. (PIA CamSur)

Here's my final translation. You guys could still re- edit for a better version;

Dakilang bayan, ang iyong magandang watawat-
Sagisag ng buhay na alay mo sa amin.
Sa ilalim ng malinaw at bughaw mong langit-
Kapayapaang naghahari, malinis at dalisay.

Sa madugong digmaan, tagumpay na nakamit-
Nagdala ng galak sa iyong mamamayan…
Sa iyong mga anak na magasasaka
Nagdulot ng paghanga, pagpapahalaga at dangal.

Mabuhay,O bayang magiliw!
Mabuhay,O Inang mapagmahal
Kung may yuyurak sa iyong dangal
Bayan ay lalaban ng buong tapang,
Iiwan ang sakahan para sa lumaban.

Mabuhay, O aming bayan! Lupang hinirang
Sa ami'y nagkukupkop at nagbibigay buhay
Sa ilalim ng malinaw at bughaw mong langit
Kapayapaan at kasaganahan sana'y maghari.

More improved version:

Dakilang bayan, ang iyong magandang watawat-
Sagisag ng buhay na alay mo sa amin.
Sa lilim ng malinaw at bughaw mong langit-
Kapayapaang naghahari, malinis at dalisay.

Sa madugong digmaan, tagumpay na nakamit-
Nagdulot ng galak sa ‘yong mamamayan…
Sa iyong mga anak na magasasaka
Nagdulot ng paghanga, pagpapahalaga at dangal.

Mabuhay,O bayang magiliw!
Mabuhay,O Inang mapagmahal
Kung may yuyurak sa iyong dangal
Bayan ay lalaban ng buong tapang,
Iiwan ang sakahan para sa lumaban.

Mabuhay, O aming bayan! Lupang hinirang
Sa ami'y nagkukupkop at nagbibigay buhay
Sa lilim ng malinaw at bughaw mong langit
Kapayapaan at kasaganahan sana'y maghari.

The Hospital would either be called Naga Doctors Hospital and Medical Center or Medical Center Naga.

Really nice architecture.

wow another big thing coming to naga and camsur.

Monica Palomares is Ateneo de Naga's representative. I'm so waiting for news from her.:D

I think I asked this before @Father but I'll ask it again, anyway I forgot the answer.:lol:

How are Archbishops selected?

all the best to monica and to the other bikolano/ nagueno among the finalists.

bishops are appointed by Rome, by the Pope himself. the current bishop sends a shortlist of who he thinks are prospective bishops from among the priests in his diocese. the shortlist of three names is sent to the papal nuncio (i.e., the Vatican's ambassador) who in turn submits it to Rome.

when the nuncio submits the list to Rome he already includes background inf on each of the three.

same process for the archbishop who is only called "arch-" in view of the Metropolitan See that he occupies, that is, the chief among the grouping of dioceses. the other dioceses are "suffragan" to it. an archdiocese is the biggest diocese in terms of territory and population among the grouping of dioceses.

the Archdiocese (or Metropolitan See) of Caceres is chief among Bikol's 7 dioceses as it is one of the country's first four dioceses created by Rome in 1595.

while each of the bishops has independent jurisdiction over his own diocese, the archbishop exercises some overseeing function over his fellow bishops in the area. (the Archbishop of Caceres, for example, over other Bikol bishops)

Thanks for the explanation Father Xave. Very informative. How many archdioceses do we have now in the Philippines? Those I know are:

Nueva Segovia - Vigan
Tuguegarao
Lingayen
San Fernando - Pampanga
Lipa
Tacloban
Jaro
Cagayan de Oro
Zambonga
Butuan
Davao
Manila

Bigger things, bigger plans in 2011
DIRECTLINE By Boy Abunda (The Philippine Star) Updated December 29, 2010

Iriga mayor Madelaine Alfelor Gazmen: If people want something, they must work hard and sacrifice to achieve it

Like many people who will make a list of things that happened in the last 12 months as well as those they’d want to achieve in the next year, Iriga Mayor Madelaine Alfelor Gazmen can spend New Year’s eve looking back at 2010 with pride even as she plans greater things for her city and its constituents in 2011.

In 2010, the good mayor had key infrastructures built for the Irigueños. These include a new market, a fire station and a center for Special Education for gifted children, all of which were inaugurated in December. The new public market actually has an entertainment venue which will feature local and national performers every month starting January.

The inauguration was made even more special by a series of concerts that featured popular artists Aiza Seguerra, Juris, Noel Cabangon, True Faith, Cueshé, Brownman Revival, Gerald Santos and Ian Batherson. The concerts were held in the streets as it was the only way to accommodate the 40,000 spectators.

The new fire station is a far cry from its predecessor. There are now quarters for the firemen, a stock room and a parking lot big enough even for seven fire trucks. Iriga, to date, has five fire trucks — an amenity that not all cities have.

Mayor Madelaine was first in line in providing the gifted children of Iriga with a SPED center. She couldn’t bear seeing the children in their former quarters that leaked when it rained and so she provided them with a new home.

For 2011, the city government will construct a building adjacent to the new supermarket. Being the center of trade in Rinconada area, Mayor Madelaine realizes that an efficient transportation system is essential and so, the construction of a train station at the new building. She is especially excited over this project as the trains could be run using solar power.

And then there’s the facelift of the city library. The first floor will soon house memorabilia of famous Iriguenos including no less than superstar Nora Aunor. The office of Mayor Madelaine is already in coordination with the family of these famous Irigueños who pledged to donate very interesting items.

Iriga is also beefing up its tourism attractions by opening a gym and spa. Though some might scoff at the idea of putting up establishments that usually cater to an urban clientele, Mayor Madelaine believes having these in Iriga will help reshape the psyche of her people positively.

“If people want something, they must work hard and sacrifice to achieve it. Providing the Irigueños with these opportunities will make them realize that every one has a choice to stay in poverty or rise above it. Let it never be said that they did not have anything to aspire for,” she said.

And once again, and as always, they have Mayor Madelaine to thank for it.

Kagagaling ko pa lang sa Plaza Rizal, merong joint program ang provincial and city govt. Nagkaroon rin ng wreath laying. We were required to attend kasama ang iba pang mga agencies dito sa CamSur.

Nakikita na rin natin ang unity ng Provincial and City Govt kya hindi malayong mas uunlad pa ating lugar. :):):)

^^Maray 'yan. Sana dagos-dagos na para mas lalong mag-asenso lugar ta.

good sign alright. :okay:

kakauli ko lang hali centro. i was surprised by all the fruit and firecracker vendors :ohno: mayo na ngani tultol na parking area, pano-pano pa ning paratinda. :ohno: maliwananag man kuta sa Plaza Rizal pero nasa gilid (kaliwa't kanan) kang tinampo si mga paratinda... good thing may mga permit na nakapaskil, tapos para sa mga nagtitinda ning paputok may mga nakalaag na NO SMOKING.

it was not even rush hour kasubago pero sobrang traffic! sana ginamit nalang si Plaza Quezon as parking area. :( hayy kaya kung mapa centro kamo, mag commute na sana and do all the walking :lol:

^^ Really beautiful and colorful presentation from SJS!:applause:bishops are appointed by Rome, by the Pope himself. the current bishop sends a shortlist of who he thinks are prospective bishops from among the priests in his diocese. the shortlist of three names is sent to the papal nuncio (i.e., the Vatican's ambassador) who in turn submits it to Rome.

when the nuncio submits the list to Rome he already includes background inf on each of the three.

same process for the archbishop who is only called "arch-" in view of the Metropolitan See that he occupies, that is, the chief among the grouping of dioceses. the other dioceses are "suffragan" to it. an archdiocese is the biggest diocese in terms of territory and population among the grouping of dioceses.

the Archdiocese (or Metropolitan See) of Caceres is chief among Bikol's 7 dioceses as it is one of the country's first four dioceses created by Rome in 1595.

while each of the bishops has independent jurisdiction over his own diocese, the archbishop exercises some overseeing function over his fellow bishops in the area. (the Archbishop of Caceres, for example, over other Bikol bishops)

Thanks again Father Xave. I'll keep that in mind.:D

Thanks for the explanation Father Xave. Very informative. How many archdioceses do we have now in the Philippines? Those I know are:

Nueva Segovia - Vigan
Tuguegarao
Lingayen
San Fernando - Pampanga
Lipa
Tacloban
Jaro
Cagayan de Oro
Zambonga
Butuan
Davao
Manila

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is there an Archdiocese in Southern NCR?:dunno:

Paskong dala ng hangin ,san man sa pinas mangaling
Mula pa pagkabata, isa lang ang naaalala
Ang tangi kong hiling, ika'y makapiling

Nais na makasama , ki itay ay nangungulila
Dala man ng ula’y lungkot, si inay ang aking kumot
Ngayong Pasko, maghihintay ako

Ako ay nananabik sa Paskong galak ang hatid
Hali ‘nat sama-sama, masdan ang ngiti ng mga bata
Dito tayo magsimula ng pagkakaisa

Tara mag noche buena kasama ang pamilya
Kulang man ang pera, regalo ko'y pagibig,
Unti unti, pangarap mo’y matutupad
Ngayong Pasko (ngayong Pasko)
Ngayong Pasko

Gising na bumangon ka’t magsimba
Magpasalamat sa pagibig Nya
Lahat ng iyong, pangarap ay matutupad

Ngayong Pasko.. Ngayong Pasko.. BIGG'S TAYO!

^^Nice pics, Ms. NCD!

the photographer was the same photographer/studio who covered my cousin's wedding. most of the posted photos are unprocessed, that is where you can see the real beauty of the subjects. Their multiply album http://ylcdigital.multiply.com/ is a haven of CamSur Events that we also missed posting somehow :cheers:

colorful st jo presentations! alum homecoming yesterdat at st jo, right, jo?

ateneo man ngonyan :-)

usually may wreath laying and program dyan sa Plaza Rizal.

trivia: one of the narra trees in the plaza rizal area started as a seedling from a narra tree planted by the national hero in Dapitan :-)
Kagagaling ko pa lang sa Plaza Rizal, merong joint program ang provincial and city govt. Nagkaroon rin ng wreath laying. We were required to attend kasama ang iba pang mga agencies dito sa CamSur.

Nakikita na rin natin ang unity ng Provincial and City Govt kya hindi malayong mas uunlad pa ating lugar. :):):)

^^Maray 'yan. Sana dagos-dagos na para mas lalong mag-asenso lugar ta.

good sign alright. :okay:

kakauli ko lang hali centro. i was surprised by all the fruit and firecracker vendors :ohno: mayo na ngani tultol na parking area, pano-pano pa ning paratinda. :ohno: maliwananag man kuta sa Plaza Rizal pero nasa gilid (kaliwa't kanan) kang tinampo si mga paratinda... good thing may mga permit na nakapaskil, tapos para sa mga nagtitinda ning paputok may mga nakalaag na NO SMOKING.

it was not even rush hour kasubago pero sobrang traffic! sana ginamit nalang si Plaza Quezon as parking area. :( hayy kaya kung mapa centro kamo, mag commute na sana and do all the walking :lol:

Salamat naman at nagkakaisa ang probinsiya at siyudad. Sana magtuloy-tuloy na ito tungo sa ikauunlad ng ating lugar.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is there an Archdiocese in Southern NCR?:dunno:

Ang aram ko sa Novaliches pero parang diocese lang yun.

Pero parang nasa northern part yata ng NCR ang Novaliches :D

Oh, by the way, when my daughter told me that those short-shorts that are now in vogue is now called "pekpek", I almost fell on my chair. :lol: If you go to Greenbelt and Rockwell, all those pretty young ladies show off their legs wearing those pekpeks. Wala silang pakialam. :ohno:

That's Jef Gaitan.

Together with Pinoy Idol/Philippine Idol (ABC5 version), Survivor Phillippines are the only Pinoy shows that could stop us from doing anything.

I cannot imagine Philippine TV without GMA.

pretty girl indeed :okay:
nice one Doc, i really do not know her as i rarely watch television now :lol:

just last Monday, me and my high school friends were at CWC and we were also talking about that "pekpek" shorts. one of my friends didn't knew that it's called that way and he kept on laughing and laughing until we tried to identify those ladies passing by if they are wearing that short shorts :rofl:

Thanks again Father Xave. I'll keep that in mind.:D

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is there an Archdiocese in Southern NCR?:dunno:

welcome, kevin.

there is only one archdiocese covering the metro manila area and even beyond. it is the original archdiocese in the country, the archd of manila whose original suffragan dioceses are cebu, nueva caceres (naga) and nueva segovia (vigan).

the three as we know have become archdioceses themselves and have given birth to their own suffragan dioceses.

today the Archdiocese of Manila includes the dioceses of antipolo, pasig, paranaque, novaliches, cubao, kalookan, malolos, san pablo, even the vicariates of taytay and puerto princesa, both in palawan.

manila itself started as a suffragan of Mexico.

Naga starts quest for city monument
By Shiena M. Barrameda

NAGA CITY --- After the launching of the “Salog Kan Buhay: Contest for Best Conceptual Design for the Revitalization of the Naga River,” the City Hall has bared another contest this time for the design of an emblem that shall embody the historic significance of this city as the heart of arts, culture and faith of Bicol.

In the same event that the 12 entrants to the Salog Kan Buhay Contest presented their concepts last December 15 Wednesday, City Engineer Leon Palmiano IV together with City Mayor Executive Assistant Alec Santos formally presented the guidelines of the “Monumento de Naga,” a competition open for all individuals (students, professionals or private citizens), groups and organizations based in the Bicol Region with a vision for a monument that will embody the historical and cultural importance of Naga City.

Organizers envision the winning design to show the religious significance of Naga in Bicol, being the home of Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia, the Patroness of the region, and the newly-recognized Pilgrimage City of the South as pursuant to Presidential Decree Number 33 and Sangguniang Panlungsod Resolution Number 2010-280.

“The winning design will automatically be owned by the City Government of Naga and may be subject to modifications in order to suit our resources,” Palmiano explained. “It will be erected at the Concepcion-Panganiban intersection.”

According to guidelines, said monument must show the pre-colonial and Spanish heritage of Naga as well as the unity, diversity and images of Bicolano faith and devotion.

Such creation should have a base not exceeding nine meters in diameter with a height that must not be more than eight meters.

Participants must submit their entries both in compact disk (CD) format and scrapbook with illustrations and perspectives from the four directions as seen from Maharlika Highway from Manila, Maharlika Highway from Legazpi City, Panganiban Drive and Magsaysay Avenue. The scrapbook must have the participant’s complete name and contact details with a brief abstract of the design.

Such entries must also be detailed in a PowerPoint presentation contained in the CD which will be used during the presentation on January 28, 2011 to the Board of Judges which will be composed by representatives from the academe, private sector, Department of Public Works and Highways, media, Department of Transportation and Communication and the local government of Naga.

Entries will be judged according to historical and cultural relevance (40%), aesthetic impact (30%) and practicability of the design (30%).

The First Prize shall win P30,000 cash, a certificate and trophy. Second prize shall be given P20,000 plus certificate and trophy while Third Placer shall have P10,000 plus certificate and trophy.

Interested parties must pass their entries on or before 5pm of January 21, 2011 to the Arts, Culture and Tourism Office at the City Hall.

Winners will be announced on February 4, 2011.

DA holds regional gawad Saka Award

For twenty three years the Department of Agriculture Region 5 has produced national gawad saka winners. But what is so unique with this year’s search is that all seven regional winners became national finalists. Thus, the DA recently held the awarding of the regional winners at the RIARS Training Center , DA compound San Agustin, Pili, Camarines Sur.

Gawad Saka is an annual search of the Department of Agriculture for outstanding farmers, fisherfolk and institutions whose contribution have significantly promoted agricultural development and sustainable agriculture in the region.

The following are this year’s regional winners: Eduarda V. Ayo of Capuy, Sorsogon City as Regional Outstanding Agri-entrepreneur; Jeffrey D. Mabesa Regional Outstanding Young Farmer;,AFC Gubat Regional Outstanding Municipal Agricultural and Fishery Council (MAFC); Burabod 4-H Club, Burabod, Castilla, Sorsogon Regional Outstanding Young Farmer Organization; PAFC Masbate Regional Outstanding Provincial Agricultural and Fishery Council (PAFC); Barangay Bagsakan of San Miguel Catanduanes, Regional Outstanding Barangay Bagsakan and MFARMC Tiwi, Albay, Regional Outstanding Municipal Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council.

Meanwhile, Regional Executive Director Jose V. Dayao said that regional awarding is an important occasion since recognition is given to the unsung heroes - the farmers, fisherfolk and entrepreneurs . He also lauded the efforts of the LGU for supporting the search. Since they are in the frontline they were the ones who endorsed and nominated these achievers. Dayao challenged the achievers since they were looked up as role models in their communities and their farms serve as showcase of the different technologies. He urged them to share the technologies to others and sustain their projects.

RAFC Chair David Z. Canet on the other hand considered the achievers as champions in their respective fields. He encouraged them to continue with their projects and the Agriculture and Fishery Councils will continue to support these groups in terms of providing technical assistance and empowering them in line with the AFC’s roles and functions as a consultative, monitoring, evaluating, integrating and coordinating body. He emphasized that they are models of strong GO-NGO partnership in people empowerment and promotion of the agriculture sector in the region.

The winners received plaques of appreciation and cash awards.(MRilan)

Catholic group combines spirituality
with food on the table
Text and Photos by: Juan Escandor Jr.

SAN FERNANDO, Camarines Sur---Erlina Mayores, 48, answered with a wide smile when asked how much percentage of her livelihood comes from her work in the 11-hectare organic farm owned by the Christian Life Community (CLC), a Catholic group who follows the teaching and spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Stopping on the way to answer the query, on her side she carried taro seedlings wrapped in a sack, Mayores answered: “We earn half of our earnings from farming here. The other half of our earnings comes from our own farm.”

She later joined her co-members in the rolling field they have weeded with machetes and hoes. Their children played around digging cassava which they cooked and ate with their parents during lunch break and took it with rice and vegetable viand.

Mayores is among a five-member Badang (upland farm) Group, a CLC unit, based in Barangay San Joaquin, one kilometer from the highway, 300 km south of Metro Manila.

Lydia Ercia, 55, said that aside from group farming, the CLC has also implemented animal dispersal program which she has been a beneficiary.

Ercia received three geese and she has already paid back to the CLC the same number of geese that were given to other members with some 20 members already benefiting from the project.

Sabas Mabulo, volunteer farm manager of the CLC Organic Farm, said they deepen their Catholic faith through discernment during regular retreats conducted in the office-cum-retreat-house at the poblacion.

“We are in a fourth-class municipality with majority of our members belonging to farming and fishing families. So, to practice our faith our discernment calls for us to do something to alleviate poverty which can be done through collective work in order to ensure food on the table,” Mabulo explained.

He said that with their judgment of the situation of their members they decided to aim to at least combine spirituality with food on the table for every member.

Demonstration farm

Mabulo said the CLC Organic Farm is a demonstration farm where members work in groups to plant crops and raise animals using organic farming technology.

He said they believe spirituality becomes more discernable with actual collective action of facing and resolving the worldly situation as it comes with the guidance of God which gives the members a sense of empowerment.

Mabulo explained they practice organic farming because it is one of the farming technologies that respects and enhances the natural creations of God.

He revealed the CLC Organic Farm was bought in 2006 from donations to the group. They started developing the area of rolling terrain with patches of hardwood, fruit-bearing and coconut trees crisscrossed by two creeks.

Mabulo showed a map of the farm that indicates the specific production areas wherein its middle part is dedicated to raising goats and sheep and root crops while on one side the cultivation of malunggay and vegetables together with free ranged chickens, geese and turkeys; and on the other side, a chapel will be constructed near a tree plantation and banana farm.

He said the farm has yet to be fully utilized even as he said they have started marketing their produce at the organic market in Naga City every weekend.

Another working group of male members were preparing the land. One was plowing the field and three others were hoeing to build the plots for eggplants.

Organic farming

Virgilio Torres, 64, has been working in the vegetable farm for three years now practicing farming technology without chemical inputs as they use farm-produced fertilizers and pesticides.

Torres said they produce fertilizer through vermiculture or composting which free them from buying expensive chemical fertilizers while pesticides are a concoction of fermented gin and crushed onions.

He said they also produce liquid fertilizer from molasses and naturally produced ingredients which they can spray directly to the plant even though they are already fruit bearing.

Torres has been working full-time at the CLC Organic Farm that he said has supported his simple lifestyle while serving God and practicing his spirituality even in farming where he always prays for good harvest every time he starts work.

Deacon Stanley Lee, a Fil-Am missionary from Auckland, California, United States of America, started the CLC organizing here under the Sodality of Mary way back in 1972 until 1982.

Lee said he left for work at Auckland diocese serving Filipino seamen where he did the extension service for them until it was stopped in the 2004 which made him come back to Bicol.

He was surprised that after decades of absence the members of the core group of those he organized under the Sodality of Mary were still there and willing to serve the community when he came back in 2005.

With an authority and mandate from the Auckland diocese, Lee reorganized the group into CLC which they were able to register as a non-stock, non-profit organization at the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2007.

Lee said they envision of a “journey with the poor in creating a community where there is love, equality, empowerment and fullness of life because this is what God desires.”

He recalled that they have a different organizing technique during the Martial Law years wherein he said they focused on organizing lay people to protect their civil rights.

Livelihood projects

“But now it is different. We have to address the gnawing poverty of our members to at least help them provide food for their families through agricultural production and other livelihood projects,” Lee said.

At the poblacion of San Fernando where they hold office, the CLC has started mushroom culture that they sell fresh or dried in the local markets.

Started on Dec. 27, 2009, the project mobilizes women in all stages of the culturing the mushroom, from preparing the medium to harvesting and packaging of the products.

Che Sandagon, mushroom production coordinator, revealed they are now harvesting an average of three kilos of mushroom every day which they sell at P400 per kilo.

Sandagon mused the production is still small but they hope that they could improve their culture technique for greater production.

Mabulo, who is one of the members of the core group Lee recruited in the 1980s, believes it is more meaningful and effective to combine spirituality with food on the table because it mitigates the dehumanizing effect of poverty on the people.

“We want people to pray for and ask guidance from God at the same time that we encourage them to solve their problems through action which in the case of our poor members we have idle lands that they can plant so they have food to eat,” he said.

The CLC is an international network of lay people practicing the teachings and spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. St. Ignatius of Loyola, according to the on-line Catholic Encyclopedia, was a rich Spanish captain born in the castle of Loyola who experienced great sins that go with wealth, and then turned his back from the life of privilege to the practice of exterior mortifications, begging, fasting, going barefoot which transformed him into deep spirituality following the discernment of the life and sufferings of Jesus Christ

New Year’s Wishes
in the column "As I See It" by Joey D Co

My ardent wish for the New Year is for peace and reconciliation in the world and our nation to prevail. Peace in the Middle East, Korean peninsula, Africa, and Mindanao. I also wish for peace talks with the MNLF, MILF, and NPA to prosper.

I wish that there will be closures to the anomalies and abuses committed by the GMA administration, and that justice be meted by punishing the guilty culprits and exonerate the innocents. I wish that members of the Arroyo family that include Gloria, Dato, Mikey, and Iggy use their positions in the House of Representatives to serve the interest of the Filipino people and their respective constituents instead of enriching themselves, and self-aggrandizement.

I wish that Pres. Noy Aquino will focus on attracting foreign and domestic investors that will generate more employment and to provide livelihood opportunities for the Filipinos, instead of resorting to palliative measures like the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) and similar dole outs that promotes mendicant mentality.

I wish that P-Noy appreciates what DILG acting Secretary Jesse M. Robredo is doing, and recognizes the fact that Robredo is an invaluable asset to the Aquino government. I wish that Robredo would be able to transform the mindset of the local executives to efficiently and earnestly utilize the IRAs and its funds with transparency and honesty. I also wish that sufficient funds will be allocated for the purchase of more fire trucks, fire fighting equipment in every municipality throughout the archipelago.

I wish that the Supreme Court justices base their decisions on the merits of the case and not on their personal bias and inclination, returning favors, or payment of political debts. I also wish that the administration of justice in the country improves, and the corresponding budget needed be allocated.

I wish that Pres. Noy finds his true love, and that his sister Kris leaves him alone. Kris should focus on making her love life and marriage exemplary instead.

I wish for the speedy trial of the Maguindanao massacre, and for justice for the victims to prevail. Furthermore, I wish that the government neutralize the Ampatuans by confiscating all their assets and cache of arms which they accumulated with impunity through massive corruption. I also wish that the guilty perpetuators of the massacre rot in jail.

I wish that Naga City no longer smells, and the Balatas dumpsite closed.

I wish that Naga City streets are safe and secured, and more CCTV cameras installed. I wish that the Naga City Police Office (NCPO) is ably managed and that all the 265 police officers are competent, fully-armed and properly trained to accomplish their jobs. I also wish that the police get rid the city of motor-riding criminals, drug pushers, and would be able to solve the celebrated killings and robberies in due time.

I wish that Naga City implements its NO SMOKING ordinance especially in the bus and jeepney terminals. I also wish that all its city ordinances are fully and properly implemented before its City Council craft more ordinances.

I wish for continuous good business environment in Naga City and Camarines Sur. I also wish that tourism thrive and more tourists come to generate more employment and income-generating opportunities for the local communities.

I wish good health and prosperity to my friends, relatives, colleagues in media, and officemates. May God bless them with peace of mind, contentment, and abundance. I wish that the Bicol Mail continues its publication, and may God bless publisher Nilo Aureus, editor Joe Perez, staffers, contributors, and columnists with good health, protection, wisdom, and prosperity for the new year. I also wish the same for all our advertisers and readers.

I wish God’s blessings for my family and in our church, that we may have fulfilled and happy lives. HAPPY NEW YEAR

The martyrs of Bicol

in the column Selda Numero 10 by Jose B Perez

JANUARY 4 next year will be the 114th year of martyrdom of Bicol’s Quince Martires. Except for the simple rites traditionally spearheaded by the city government, along with a handful of the martyrs’ descendants, our patriotic fervor seemed to have been lost by the lukewarm attention we give to the occasion. A civic organization was an active partner in the preparations for the annual celebration at the Plaza Quince Martires until last year when its members were conspicuously absent following the removal of the Rotary wheel within the plaza because local historians and those with deeper sense of history argued that the plaza as a hallowed ground should be reserved only for the memory of those who died for our freedom.

Only eleven of the 15 immortalized in the plaza were actually executed, wrote Naga-based historian Jose V. Barrameda, a descendant of one of the 15 martyrs. “Three others died following their exile from the Philippines and a fourth one, Leon Hernandez, expired inside the oppressively hot and fetid Ciudad de Nueva Caceres (now Naga City) prison even before any of all those arrested in 1896 could face trial in court.”

No less than Gregorio Zaide, author of Philippine history books, lamented that many Bicolanos have seemed unfaithful to the memory of their glorious martyrs. He reminded that “a mere marble monument dedicated to the martyrs is worthless and meaningless if the living generations do not cherish in their hearts the martyrs’ heroic sacrifice and are indifferent or lazy to celebrate the glorious date of their martyrdom with appropriate ceremonies.”

Historian Luis C. Dery acknowledged that while it is true that the Philippine Revolution of 1896 broke out in Bicol two years after it began in the Tagalog region (that’s why Bicol is not included in the eight golden rays of the Philippine flag), a growing number of the incidents during the years preceding it heralded the gradual involvement of the Bicolanos into the maelstrom of the revolution. In a keynote speech he delivered during a conference on Bicol history, the late Sen. Raul S. Roco said that anti-Spanish materials believed written by Marcelo H. del Pilar were being circulated in the towns of Baao, Nabua and Bula in Camarines Sur as early as September 1889. Spanish authorities, in fact, arrested local printing press owner Don Nicolas Beltran of Baao and Don Eugenio Ocampo of Nabua in whose possessions were found these subversive materials. Mass arrests followed in other parts of Bicol, especially in Nueva Caceres (Naga’s Spanish name) where many were rounded up and subjected to unfair trial. On January 4, 1897, or five days after Dr. Jose Rizal was martyred in Bagumbayan, eleven of the 15 Bicol martyrs who were brought to Manila were executed on the same ground we now call Luneta. The other four either died in prison or were exiled in an island in Africa.

But armed uprising against the Spanish government actually began in Camarines Norte eleven months later. In Nov. 1897, Ildefonso Moreno started organizing a Katipunan unit, under the orders of Don Vicente Lukban of Labo town, a Bicolano general in Aguinaldo’s revolutionary troops. Moreno’s group launched their attack against the Spanish forces in Talisay, Labo and Daet from April 13-17, 1898 but they were routed because of a forced confession to the Spaniards of the planned attack by one of their colleagues, Juan Pimentel. The ensuing arrests and persecutions led to the murder and execution of about 500 men and women in that province. The news caused panic in Naga. Fearful that after being disarmed they might also suffer the fate of their colleagues in Daet, the civil guards in Naga, led by Elias Angeles, a Tagalog, and Felix Plazo, a native of Tigaon, Camarines Sur, revolted in the early morning of Sept. 19, 1898, just after the celebration of that year’s Penafrancia fiesta. By 2:00 p.m. of the same day, gun shots stopped as Spanish representatives met with the triumphant forces of Angeles to discuss the terms of surrender. On Sept. 21, 1898, after accepting the rebels’ demands, Spanish Governor Vicente Zaidin finally turned over the government to Elias Angeles which thus ended the 300 years of Spanish rule in Bicol.

The deaths of the Bicol martyrs did not end in vain.

Barrameda in his paper, “A Roll Call of Bicol Martyrs of 1896” wrote that “(C)ertainly there were more than fifteen who were dragged from their homes, mostly in the dead of the night, by Civil Guards, Spanish Volunteers, or cuadrilleros, for incarceration and unspeakable torture.” He stated there were at least 78 persons (although 6 of them were eventually released, including patriot Tomas Arejola who was arrested in Madrid, Spain), including those who came from Ambos Camarines, Albay and Sorsogon, who all suffered “death-like torments” before they were executed or died in prison. Another Bicol historian, Danny Gerona described the physical abuse suffered by the Bicol prisoners: “For most of those arrested, preliminary tortures began [in the] headquarters of the civil guards (where the Naga PNP now stands) and under the infirmary building situated beside the San Francisco Church. Torture consisted of 100 lashes, water and vinegar cure, hanging upside down, kicks and rifle butts. Leon Hernandez was tortured by applying on his heels a flaming iron rod. The pain was enormous that he died on the tenth day of his execution.”

My favorite concoction:

Blueberry and Nata de Coco.

Blueberry goes well with the sourness of yogurt and neutralized by the sweetness of the Nata Syrup.

The bits and pieces of Nata de Coco makes the mixture chewy.

Yum!

Toyota pays family of Bicolana $10M
A family of a Bicolana who is a native of Nabua, Camarines Sur received a windfall of $10M before Christmas Day this year after a world-known car manufacturer agreed to settle a lawsuit out of court.

Family of the late Cleofe L. Saylor, 45, a native of this town, lately received $10M cash from Toyota Motor Corp., a famous multinational car manufacturer, after they decided to settle off court the case against the car company as a result of an August 2009 Toyota car crash in San Diego, California.

The road mishap which was allegedly caused by a Lexus, one of Toyota’s luxury brand cars, “accelerating on its own” while on the freeway resulted to four deaths which included Saylor herself, her younger brother Christopher N. Lastrella, her husband California Highway Patrol officer Mark Wesley Saylor, and their daughter Mahala Manda Saylor.

According to the San Diego counsel of Saylor’s family, the $10M amount resulted for the charges against the Toyota manufacturer to be dropped, however civil case against Toyota car dealer Bob Baker Lexus will still continue.

In a statement, Toyota said though that the settlement is not an admission of guilt and rather suggested that it is Bob Baker Lexus who should weigh the responsibilities most as his dealership installed the wrong floor mat in the car the victims used.

Authories determined that a wrong-size floor mat trapped the accelerator resulting for the car to accelerate on its own and eventually crash. About 8.5M cars were then recalled by the car company for mat replacement..

The accident also became a big issue in the car industry which even prompted Akio Toyoda, current president and CEO of Toyota, to repeatedly apologize for three hours to the US Congress, millions of Toyota owners and to the Saylor family during his testimony in February this year.

Both the family and the company decided to just arrange the case but with a desire to hide, especially the $10M amount, from the public. But despite of their efforts, paparazzi in the United States have gained access to the news leading to its publication in Yahoo! and other media outlets abroad.

“Toyota and the Saylor and Lastrella families reached a private, amicable settlement through mutual respect and cooperation without the involvement of the courts, so we are disappointed that the amount of this settlement has now been made public against the express wishes of these families and Toyota,” the company lamented in a statement.

Agta community gets free medical treatment for Christmas
http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2010/dec30/pictures/xservi.gif
IN THE SERVICE OF THE AGTA. Jinky and Mark Saliva, siblings who are both nurses attend to the needs of an Oyango tribeswoman during the medical mission in Sta. Teresita, Iriga City.

IRIGA CITY, Camarines Sur --- Two days after a gloomy Christmas day spent in poverty, a community of agtas in this city was touched by the hands of high-caliber doctors and nurses in a free medical mission last December 27 Monday in the rocky slopes of Mt. Asog.

The Oyango Tribal Community, found at Sta. Teresita village here, were roused from their homes by the arrival of a team of medics coming from Naga City, the provinces of Camarines Sur and Albay and Hawaii in the United States of America early in the morning for free check-up and distribution of free medicines and vitamins for children and adults.

Said activity was spearheaded by the Perez clan, led by historian and photographer Ricardo Perez, eldest son of the family. The medical team itself was composed by the Perez siblings and other relatives.

Among the participating doctors were Mary Joy Coner, physician, chemist and computer scientist who topped the 2006 Physician Licensure Examinations, and general surgeon Dante Perez from the Bicol Regional Training and Teaching Hospital in Legazpi City, Albay. Coner has been practicing her profession at Mother Seton Hospital in Naga City for four years now while Perez has been treating patients for more than 20 years. Completing the team is Hawaii-based nurse and first aid instructor Yoly Perez-Agsalud who came home to the Philippines with her husband and son for the holidays.

Coner admitted that it was her first time to see the tribe that her family had been assisting since 2008, saying that she was quite surprised at how the tribesmen survive in a community with little medical help.

“The government has to address these people’s needs,” Coner said. “They should be recognized and be given assistance. As private citizens or groups, we can only treat the illnesses we see now here, but we can’t do anything more for them for their future medical problems because we won’t always be present.”

Dante Perez, also a first-timer to the community, said that before the trip to Iriga, he was preparing himself for the bahag-wearing and bow-wielding agta and was pleased at the well-clothed members of the Oyango tribe.

According to the facts gathered by the medical team from the 47 patients they had on that day, the tribe’s primary concern is the common cold, especially among young children.

“We also have patients who complain of general weakness and hypertension, particularly with the adults and the very old,” Mark Saliva, a registered nurse said.

His sister and nurse-in-training Jinky Saliva stated that this could be due to poor nutrition and hygiene. Both Salivas recommend that all 32 households of the Oyango must be trained in keeping themselves clean and must be educated in the importance of wearing slippers.

The doctors, however, were mildly alarmed at the presence of a single case of tuberculosis in the person of former tribe chieftain Pedro Sentillas.

Sentillas, apparently, had to resign from his post due to his illness and is already receiving medical help from the Perez family.

Confronted with the issue of the Oyango’s belief in herbal remedies and the albularyo, both doctors admitted that such tradition must not be forcibly taken away or dispelled from such peoples.

“Herbal remedies has been around and used for many centuries. We cannot discount its effectivity. Anyway there are really sicknesses that the body can naturally heal,” Coner said.

“We can’t dictate them what to believe in. We can only tell them the right thing to do,” seconded Perez.

Ric Perez, author of the series The Oyango Odyssey published in previous issues of the Bicol Mail, professes that his interest over the Agta community here sprang from his own family’s blood affiliation with the indigenous people, dispelling all rumors that he has ambitions of running for office in the third political district of Camarines Sur under where the city of Iriga is included a component city. http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2010/dec30/xgets.html

Catholic group combines spirituality with food on the table
SAN FERNANDO, Camarines Sur---Erlina Mayores, 48, answered with a wide smile when asked how much percentage of her livelihood comes from her work in the 11-hectare organic farm owned by the Christian Life Community (CLC), a Catholic group who follows the teaching and spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Stopping on the way to answer the query, on her side she carried taro seedlings wrapped in a sack, Mayores answered: “We earn half of our earnings from farming here. The other half of our earnings comes from our own farm.”

She later joined her co-members in the rolling field they have weeded with machetes and hoes. Their children played around digging cassava which they cooked and ate with their parents during lunch break and took it with rice and vegetable viand.

Mayores is among a five-member Badang (upland farm) Group, a CLC unit, based in Barangay San Joaquin, one kilometer from the highway, 300 km south of Metro Manila.

Lydia Ercia, 55, said that aside from group farming, the CLC has also implemented animal dispersal program which she has been a beneficiary.

Ercia received three geese and she has already paid back to the CLC the same number of geese that were given to other members with some 20 members already benefiting from the project.

Sabas Mabulo, volunteer farm manager of the CLC Organic Farm, said they deepen their Catholic faith through discernment during regular retreats conducted in the office-cum-retreat-house at the poblacion.

“We are in a fourth-class municipality with majority of our members belonging to farming and fishing families. So, to practice our faith our discernment calls for us to do something to alleviate poverty which can be done through collective work in order to ensure food on the table,” Mabulo explained.

He said that with their judgment of the situation of their members they decided to aim to at least combine spirituality with food on the table for every member.

Demonstration farm

Mabulo said the CLC Organic Farm is a demonstration farm where members work in groups to plant crops and raise animals using organic farming technology.

He said they believe spirituality becomes more discernable with actual collective action of facing and resolving the worldly situation as it comes with the guidance of God which gives the members a sense of empowerment.

Mabulo explained they practice organic farming because it is one of the farming technologies that respects and enhances the natural creations of God.

He revealed the CLC Organic Farm was bought in 2006 from donations to the group. They started developing the area of rolling terrain with patches of hardwood, fruit-bearing and coconut trees crisscrossed by two creeks.

Mabulo showed a map of the farm that indicates the specific production areas wherein its middle part is dedicated to raising goats and sheep and root crops while on one side the cultivation of malunggay and vegetables together with free ranged chickens, geese and turkeys; and on the other side, a chapel will be constructed near a tree plantation and banana farm.

He said the farm has yet to be fully utilized even as he said they have started marketing their produce at the organic market in Naga City every weekend.

Another working group of male members were preparing the land. One was plowing the field and three others were hoeing to build the plots for eggplants.

Organic farming

Virgilio Torres, 64, has been working in the vegetable farm for three years now practicing farming technology without chemical inputs as they use farm-produced fertilizers and pesticides.

Torres said they produce fertilizer through vermiculture or composting which free them from buying expensive chemical fertilizers while pesticides are a concoction of fermented gin and crushed onions.

He said they also produce liquid fertilizer from molasses and naturally produced ingredients which they can spray directly to the plant even though they are already fruit bearing.

Torres has been working full-time at the CLC Organic Farm that he said has supported his simple lifestyle while serving God and practicing his spirituality even in farming where he always prays for good harvest every time he starts work.

Deacon Stanley Lee, a Fil-Am missionary from Auckland, California, United States of America, started the CLC organizing here under the Sodality of Mary way back in 1972 until 1982.

Lee said he left for work at Auckland diocese serving Filipino seamen where he did the extension service for them until it was stopped in the 2004 which made him come back to Bicol.

He was surprised that after decades of absence the members of the core group of those he organized under the Sodality of Mary were still there and willing to serve the community when he came back in 2005.

With an authority and mandate from the Auckland diocese, Lee reorganized the group into CLC which they were able to register as a non-stock, non-profit organization at the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2007.

Lee said they envision of a “journey with the poor in creating a community where there is love, equality, empowerment and fullness of life because this is what God desires.”

He recalled that they have a different organizing technique during the Martial Law years wherein he said they focused on organizing lay people to protect their civil rights.

Livelihood projects

“But now it is different. We have to address the gnawing poverty of our members to at least help them provide food for their families through agricultural production and other livelihood projects,” Lee said.

At the poblacion of San Fernando where they hold office, the CLC has started mushroom culture that they sell fresh or dried in the local markets.

Started on Dec. 27, 2009, the project mobilizes women in all stages of the culturing the mushroom, from preparing the medium to harvesting and packaging of the products.

Che Sandagon, mushroom production coordinator, revealed they are now harvesting an average of three kilos of mushroom every day which they sell at P400 per kilo.

Sandagon mused the production is still small but they hope that they could improve their culture technique for greater production.

Mabulo, who is one of the members of the core group Lee recruited in the 1980s, believes it is more meaningful and effective to combine spirituality with food on the table because it mitigates the dehumanizing effect of poverty on the people.

“We want people to pray for and ask guidance from God at the same time that we encourage them to solve their problems through action which in the case of our poor members we have idle lands that they can plant so they have food to eat,” he said.

The CLC is an international network of lay people practicing the teachings and spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. St. Ignatius of Loyola, according to the on-line Catholic Encyclopedia, was a rich Spanish captain born in the castle of Loyola who experienced great sins that go with wealth, and then turned his back from the life of privilege to the practice of exterior mortifications, begging, fasting, going barefoot which transformed him into deep spirituality following the discernment of the life and sufferings of Jesus Christ. http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2010/dec30/xgroup.html

Bill strengthening construction industry filed
LIBMANAN, Camarines Sur --- A congressman filed a bill before the House of Representatives last week in hope of fast tracking the modernization and improvement of the country’s construction industry.

In a press statement released by the House of Representatives last December 24, Camarines Sur 2nd District Representative Diosdado “Dato” Arroyo, together with his mother former president and now Pampanga 2nd District Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as co-author, have filed House Bill 1473 seeking to strengthen the construction industry in the Philippines.

According to Arroyo, the bill will create an institute so-called Philippine Construction Industry Development Authority (PHILCIDA) that will have the mandate of supervising, maintaining and boosting the best standards in the construction industry of the country.

Arroyo said the bill seeks to “raise the standards of construction work, upgrade the skills of workers through training, promote occupational safety and health standards at the workplace and foster greater public-private partnership in construction industry development.”

“The measure is pursuant to the declared policy of the State to recognize the potential of the construction industry to trigger and sustain growth of the economy and employment through a program of integrated and balanced development,” Arroyo explained.

The congressman said that the said sector should be given importance as it currently accounts for about 43 percent of the country’s Gross Fixed Capital Formation and 4.2% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

“A heavy employment-generating sector, [it] was able to create 1.7 million jobs or approximately 5.3 percent in 2005. It provided the basic physical, industrial, commercial and social infrastructure facilities necessary for the growth and sustained development of different sectors of the economy such as housing, manufacturing, commerce, transport, agriculture services and other various industries,” he added.

Dato also emphasized that the industry is a vast source of export receipts and overseas remittance saying, “Filipino engineering and construction firms have succeeded in taking their businesses to the Middle East market since the 1970s. The sector earned roughly US$25 million a year from international projects and generated thousands of jobs.” http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2010/dec30/xbill.html

Si Ram Samar lider kan Casureco II Consumers Group nagpahayag na suportado ninda an decicion kan consumedores huli ta dapat masunod an decicion kan AGMA bako an mga saralto nang accion kan junta na afectado na an miembros consumedores.

Naging cuestionable sa Consumers group an resolucion kan junta contra ki Sañado huli ta base sa by laws kan cooperativa an proceso dapat nag-agi sa arbitration committee antes naghaman nin ano man na accion.

Si Rojo, kabali sa mga director na nagparticipar sa board meeting kan Julio 3, 2010 sa pag-aprovar kan resolucion na halion na si Sañado bilang director kan Naga North District kan Casureco II huli kan perming palta sa mga regular asin special board meeting.

Kabali pa sa dahilan iyo an pagsayuma ni Sañado na magfirma sa P740,000 na tsikie kan cooperativa asin padagos na pagsayuma na reconosiron si Jane Barrameda bilang OIC General Manager. An incidenteng ini nangyari kan si Barrameda sipaon kan junta bilang OIC GM alagad pigsurog pa kan NEA apesar kan mga reclamo sa mismanagement kan cooperativa.

Segun pa ki Rojo si Sañado naglaog sa contrata sa LGU kan Ciudad nin Naga sa paghali na kan 25 por cientong penalidad sa power bill asin an pagpapaluwas nin mga negativong informacion sa manijamiento kan cooperativa.

Sinabi pa ni Samar na si Director Sañado nagtutuyaw sana kan mga sala nang gawi kan oficiales kan cooperativa nganing mapatama asin na-aaraman kan consumedores an pang-aabuso sa pagpadalagan kan cooperativa alagad iyo pa an gustong haklason sa puesto na baliktad na lugod an pangyayari.

Antes nagdecicion an junta contra ki Sanado, segun ki Rojo pigpadarahan nin noticia nganing magpaliwanag kan acusacion. Nagpaliwanag man an director kan Naga North District na dai niya narecibe an pigsasabing noticia.

Kan hapoton kan junta an messenger na nagdara kan surat sa oficina kan Msgr. sa Naga Metropolitan Cathedral pigsabi na pigparecibe sa empleado, sabi pa kan pamayo kan junta.

Venus showers major, major graces on ma, builds house for family
BATO, Camarines Sur—Venus Raj, 4th runner-up in this year’s Miss Universe pageant, has showered her family with graces from her earnings, unloading a lot of weight from her mother’s shoulders.

Esther Bayonito, 60, said she no longer worried about debts, food on the table and other deprivations that her family had suffered before her daughter won major beauty pageants.

“Our family had a painful experience in our community. Because of our poverty, we were talked about behind our backs. We heard comments about our poor state, like our inability to own a lot for a residence and the debts we owed to many people,” Bayonito said.

Neighbors in San Vicente have changed since Raj competed in the Miss Universe pageant. The community now gives Raj celebrity treatment every time she drops by her house.

Gracious

Bayonito said her daughter was very gracious in heeding requests for photo ops with her townmates.

People get to notice Raj when she goes to public places like when she went to a mall in Naga City to buy clothes, said her elder sister, Lilibeth. “Everyone wanted to have a solo picture with her. So, she was not able to buy the clothes and decided just to go home,” she said.

Since Raj regained her crown as Binibining Pilipinas-Miss Universe, she has been sharing whatever she earns, Bayonito said.

Less than a month after winning the crown, she was stripped of her title for inconsistencies in her birth records. Pageant organizers said Raj’s birth certificate stated that she was born in Bato, Camarines Sur, her father is a Catholic Filipino, and her parents are married.

However, it was learned that she was born in Doha, Qatar, her father is Indian and she was born out of wedlock. Raj disputed pageant organizers’ claim of misrepresentation. She said she never hid the truth. The inconsistency was a result of the delayed filing of her birth certificate.

Her aunt, Josephine Ramos, filed the document three years after she was born. Raj said her aunt did what she did to protect her family from embarrassment.

The organizers restored her crown amid growing public support for Raj.

“First, before she left for the Miss Universe pageant she told her cousin that she would buy this lot where our hut is built,” Bayonito said.

She said Raj paid P100,000 for the 378-square-meter lot from the prize money she received from the Miss Universe beauty pageant, removing the threat that any day the family hut could be removed from the property.

Bungalow

Some 400 meters away from the main road passing through a narrow path going to rice fields, a bungalow, measuring 12 meters by 14 meters, is rising in front of the nipa hut where Raj grew up.

“It’s a gift from my daughter. It will have two rooms, a kitchen, living room, toilet and shower and garage. She took care of the construction work details so I don’t have to worry about it. I know nothing about construction,” Bayonito said, with a hearty laugh.

She said that when Raj was still fighting to regain her crown, she was featured in GMA 7’s “Wish Ko Lang” program. She was given a hand tractor, P10,000 and 70 bags of cement.

“But most of all, she was given back the crown taken away from her,” Bayonito said, pointing at a tiara kept in a cabinet inside the hut made of bamboo and nipa shingles.

Bayonito heaved a sigh of relief and gladly said she stopped working on the farm and just paid for the labor from the financial support Raj provides her.

First birthday celebration

She was also happy that her daughter pampered her during her 60th birthday on October 25. She said it was the first time she celebrated the occasion.

Together with Raj’s three other sisters, they marked her birthday at the famous Camsur Watersports Complex in the province, where lots of bonding opportunities and new perspectives opened up.

Bayonito said her daughter would consult her whenever she made major decisions, especially during the time when she was at a crossroads—whether to become a stewardess or join the Bb. Pilipinas pageant.

“Venus called me up to ask whether I agreed with her to forgo the PAL opportunity for the Bb. Pilipinas pageant. She explained that if she failed to win the pageant she could still apply at PAL because she was just going on 22. If she got accepted at PAL she would be tied to a five-year contract, depriving her of the chance to join the pageant as the age limit is 24 years old,” she said.

Melody Gersbach

She said it was the late Melody Gersbach, Binibining Pilipinas International 2009 and a fellow Bicolana, who egged Raj to join the Bb. Pilipinas pageant.

(Gersbach died in a vehicular accident in August in Camarines Sur.)

Bayonito recalled that her daughter had her first taste of victory in a beauty contest when she joined the Ms Intramurals beauty pageant while she was in Grade 5.

Other victories followed—Ms. Palaro while she was in third year high school; Ms. Bato when she was 15 years old; Ms. Rinconada and Ms. Camarines Sur and Ms. Bicolandia when she was 18; and Ms. Tabak in Tabaco, Albay.

For Raj’s mother, her daughter’s triumph has brought things they had not expected—being resigned to a life on the farm.

Christmas together

Bayonito said that for the first time their family was together for Christmas because Raj had prepared a special celebration on December 22.

She said that in the previous years, they would celebrate “noche buena” in the morning because they would just sleep on Christmas Eve.

“We had no electricity, so we just cooked the food for noche buena in the morning of the 25th. Now, I am excited that we could really celebrate it at midnight,” Bayonito said.

She said she had seen on television the condominium owned by her daughter, adding that Raj was also able to buy her own car.http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20101231-311784/Venus-showers-major-major-graces-on-ma-builds-house-for-family

ComVal bags CSC’s Seal of Excellence
COMPOSTELA VALLEY, Dec. 30 (PIA)-- No less than a Seal of Excellence was awarded to Governor Arturo T. Uy by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) for having the provincial government obtained a descriptive rating of Excellent.

Hon. Mary Ann Fernandez- Mendoza, the CSC Commissioner led the awarding rites for the “2010 Seal of Excellence” held on December 28, 2010 at the Grand Men Seng Hotel in Davao City.

The score was based on the results of the Report Card Survey, a CSC’s system of obtaining information on how an agency is performing in terms of frontline services.

The provincial government is noted for its adherence to the requirements prescribed by Republic Act 9485 or the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) of 2007 and its excellent performance in providing services to the public especially the five areas covered by the survey which are the following: compliance with the ARTA provision, frontline service provider, service quality, physical working conditions, and client satisfaction.

A cash reward of P75,000.00 was also given to ComVal for the purchase of equipment and/or other materials and services that will help further improve the delivery of the frontline services.

Governor Uy was very much thankful and deeply honored for the privilege and recognition. “The people of Compostela Valley can be truly proud of this significant accomplishment especially our provincial employees who are my front liners in public service,” he said.

He also recognized the efforts of the department and division heads whom he said deserve such honor. With such achievement, the governor stressed, “What a good way to start the new year!”

Gov. Uy further shared that during his first term of office, one of his advocacies in governance is an effective and efficient public service. And when ARTA is launched on July 3, 2009, his leading concern in serving the constituents with utmost efficiency is strengthened even more.

ComVal is the only local government unit in the whole bureaucracy rated as “excellent” in the ARTA implementation with a 95.5% Excellent descriptive rating.

Other Citizen’s Satisfaction Center Seal of Excellence Awardees are the City Government of Mati, Davao Oriental with 87.15% Very Good descriptive rating; City Government of Tacurong, Sultan Kudarat, 85.10% Very Good rating; City Government of Borongan, Eastern Samar, 83.86% Very Good rating, Municipal Government of Burauen, Leyte, 81.88% Very Good rating and; the Provincial Government of Camarines Sur with 81.14% Very Good rating.

The CSC further announced that they shall be conducting the Report Card Survey in the year 2011 to the 17 local government units in the region.

“Thanks to the ARTA and with our stern implementation of such, it reinforced my thrust for transparency and good governance. I am hopeful that inspired by this award, we can continually improve our services to our constituents,” Gov. Uy ended. http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=1&t=1&id=9581

Kin to give Iriga some Nora Aunor memorabilia
MANILA, Philippines - Iriga City Mayor Madelaine Alfelor-Gazmen is turning the first floor of the city’s library into an area for memorabilia of famous Iriguenos including actress Nora Aunor.

Gazmen disclosed to Bulletin Entertainment and select members of the press last Dec. 23 that she is already in talks with the relatives of these personalities and that Aunor’s cousins from the Cabaltera side have “pledged” the superstar’s Long-Playing (LP) record albums.

“We honor them for helping put Iriga on the map as well as to remind people that they come from a line they can be proud of,” she said.

Aunor is widely acknowledged as the Philippine’s superstar. According to Wikipedia, she is the first Filipino actress to win an International acting award in a major Film Festival (Cairo 1995 for the movie “The Flor Contemplacion Story”). She has been directed by four Philippine National Artist Awardees and has appeared in more than 170 films so far.

The albums that her relatives promised to donate will come from a discography of 500 songs, some 30 of which hit Gold status.

Music runs deep among the Iriguenos. The recent inauguration of their new supermarket, fire station and SPED center for gifted children was marked by a series of concerts featuring Aiza Seguerra, Juris, Noel Cabangon, True Faith, Cueshe, Brownman Revival, Gerald Santos and Ian Batherson.

The city also boasts of having its school-based chorale, orchestra and rondalla group. It even has its own theme song, the mid-tempo and uplifting “Beautiful City of Iriga,” sung by Cabangon.

For 2011, the city government will construct a building adjacent to the new supermarket. The edifice will have a train station that could be run using solar power.

There are also talks about the construction of an amphitheater, gymnasium, a museum, a spa, etc., though the good mayor refused to give an official statement about these matters for now.

The year 2010 has been a banner year for Iriga. The University of Northeastern Philippines (UNEP) won as Grand Champion in the Voyodores Festival Street Dance Competition in Naga City as part of the 2010 Penafrancia Celebrations.

Last October, Iriga Central School won first place in two categories in the nationwide 2010 Palamatasan National Competition held at the University Theater in U.P. Diliman. These triumphs were in the Sabayang Bigkas and Cheerdance categories.

Indeed, Mayor Gazmen’s focus on character-building for her constituents seems to be paying off handsomely.

“I want Iriguenos to realize that they have a choice to stay where they are or rise higher. Let it never be said that the city did not remind them of these or that they didn’t have anything to aspire for,” she said. http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/295020/kin-give-iriga-some-nora-aunor-memorabilia

Mawot ko na sa pag bago kan taon naini,
saro ka sa mga mina osbong na dahon

My favorite concoction:

Blueberry and Nata de Coco.

Blueberry goes well with the sourness of yogurt and neutralized by the sweetness of the Nata Syrup.

The bits and pieces of Nata de Coco makes the mixture chewy.

Yum!

Kin to give Iriga some Nora Aunor memorabilia
http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/295020/kin-give-iriga-some-nora-aunor-memorabilia

was in iriga this afternoon to visit one of our students from the ateneo de manila, whose family owns the Bigg's Iriga franchise and whose house is the 2nd flr of Bigg's. the family also recently opened a spa.

saw for myself the physical progress of Iriga as we toured the city: iriga plaza hotel, lourdes grotto (spectacular view of Mt Asog! even saw the rooftops of the GK bed and breakfast), LCC and the marketplace.

took a GT express van: 1hr 15mins to iriga; 50mins back to naga. thanks, myonee, for the welcome- even if we didn't see each other. i was a few steps away from MCM, though.

Too many people at the SM Supermarket this afternoon.

So off I went to Robinson's Supermarket in Centro- the line was shorter but took me almost an hour on line to pay for our last minute shopping for our new year dinner.:ohno::ohno:

more taxi units ahead. and more are lined up in pili, at the airport! there's a regular taxi line there now. and taxis get a killing these days with the influx of people coming home for the holidays. airport to naga centro is usually Php250-300. to SM naga is php200, i think.

We shopped at LCC instead of SM. We took only minutes to pay for our items bought. One of the shoppers at LCC said she left her already taken items at SM when she saw the lines were too long and off she went to LCC instead.

LCC made our shopping very fast and easy! :D

While the Mayor came to the fruitstand where I was and we exchanged some greetings, she made the vendors promise to clean up their mess after yesterday. She made them promise not to do it again as well when February comes, during the Tinagba Festival. :)

^^Nice market! :okay:

I think, that's the most beautiful market I've ever seen. Clean an beautiful!

The mayor seemed to be angry :D

It's a good move that she scolded the vendors so as for them to know they are becoming irresponsible... Nice move mayor! :okay:

Approximately how big is it, Doc? Could it be as big as the Bicol Access?

welcome, kevin.

there is only one archdiocese covering the metro manila area and even beyond. it is the original archdiocese in the country, the archd of manila whose original suffragan dioceses are cebu, nueva caceres (naga) and nueva segovia (vigan).

the three as we know have become archdioceses themselves and have given birth to their own suffragan dioceses.

today the Archdiocese of Manila includes the dioceses of antipolo, pasig, paranaque, novaliches, cubao, kalookan, malolos, san pablo, even the vicariates of taytay and puerto princesa, both in palawan.

manila itself started as a suffragan of Mexico.

Thanks again, Father! :D

Fruit vendors went over the "line". They expanded their goods up to the sidewalks.

After 5 minutes of ordering the fruits, the good Mayor came and scolded most of the vendors. :lol:

While the Mayor came to the fruitstand where I was and we exchanged some greetings, she made the vendors promise to clean up their mess after yesterday. She made them promise not to do it again as well when February comes, during the Tinagba Festival. :)

no prob, myonee. it must've been you i saw in MCM from the outside as we walked past it.

mayor madeleine did the right thing. a good way of showing people that she means business, and that they have to follow rules and do what is right and proper.

i noticed that iriga adopts a value for each month of the year- and the value/ virtue for the month is prominently displayed on a large tarp in the city plaza. this is n excellent idea. tagaytay has also done this in the past.

Happy New Year to all!

Thanks again, Father! :D

a radio station's news updates mentioned this new hospital in its morning report today.

always welcome, kevin. now do help us find out who the "bishop-ables" are! (i think all current bikol bishops are prospects somehow; we just don't know who among them are included in the terna- the list of three submitted for consideration)

from 10 am to 7pm i was disconnected from the online world. no phone no laptop.
we celebrated our 1st day of 2011 at our 1st house in Pili.

we had nothing to do but cook, eat, cook, eat :lol: then sleep then eat again. the sound of the branches of trees as blown by the wind was very relaxing.

January 1st, 2011, 06:39 PM

no prob, myonee. it must've been you i saw in MCM from the outside as we walked past it.

mayor madeleine did the right thing. a good way of showing people that she means business, and that they have to follow rules and do what is right and proper.

i noticed that iriga adopts a value for each month of the year- and the value/ virtue for the month is prominently displayed on a large tarp in the city plaza. this is n excellent idea. tagaytay has also done this in the past.

Kung magayon tsaka sexy su nailing mo po, it sure was me. :banana::banana:

Happy new year Father! :D

She was stern at the market on the 31st. And even roamed around and talked with the vendors. She told them hey dismay on the way they were selling their goods. :)

And yes, Iriga has a tarpaulin hung at the City plaza facing the Lourdes Grotto every month. "Compassionate" (???) I think is the core value last december. I can check tomorrow when I pass by it again.

it's EXTENDED!

Funny po doc, I was at Naga Centro at around 8am too. I even parked just beside that blue car at Mcdonald's when I got two servings of my hash browns and 2 muffins which I gave to the two children begging. Could not help not do so on the first day of the year. :lol:
I bet I was just behind your car. :D

I wanted so much to take photos of naga as well but realized too late that i did not have my camera with me (except of course of my camphones which I seldom use unless I take a pic of myself. :lol: ). I liked the scene I saw this morning, Naga was so clean and so quiet. :)

Penafrancia Avenue
On my way to Starbucks

How'd you get your Starbucks servings at 8:30A.M doc? I went there at around 9:10am after I attended the 8am mass at the Basilica but it was still closed.
I got my servings before I drove myself home tonight and was told they opened at 10am today. :)

Kakatuwa ka naman doc, you did what I was thinking of doing this morning, and that is to take photos of how the roads and the shops were on the first day of a sure-blessed year! :banana: I should have taken photos of my drive from Iriga to Naga at 5:30am too. I think I did not use the "brake" of my car because there was literally noone and nothing on the streets at that hour. :lol:

The time may not be very accurate.

I started roaming Naga ealy until the newspapers arrived at about 8:30. My son had a muffin at Dunkin Donut in Center before we went to Masaysay.

Starbucks opens at 7 AM at weekends. I don't know if they have a different schedule on January 1, since its new year. Most of the shops are closed.

One thing for sure, Naga was clean and tidy this morning.

By the way, I aways use a camera phone in my posts.

evening sir!

visited a while ago Mother Seton Hospital and saw construction at the back of the main building of the hospital, not sure if its still part of the MSH. Nwiez, gtg guys, naki internet lang...thumbs up to the staff and personnel of MSH for a good service and also to Dr. Magnaye for a successful operation to correct a blood clot in the brain after a stroke of a mother of our fellow employee at UNC. The doctor recommended for an immediate transfer to East Avenue Med Center early morning today and an ambulance was needed (I even texted Mayor JB for an assistance and luckily they were not disappointed) however, the patient cannot bear anymore the long and arduous travel to Manila so they've decided to continue with the operation.

kudos to MSH for a superb service!!:okay:

marhay na bangui!

Bicol has two very good Neurosurgeons, Dr. Maganaye of Sorsogon and Dra. Lucena of Legazpi City.

Fortunately, they are both based in Naga City and this is due the the availabilty of hospital equipment in Mother Seton used for delicate brain surgeries, not found in any other hospitals in Bicol public or private

New Year Rip Off

For the New Year,
we sent out three types of
Gift Packs for our employees
last December 31, 2010.

Marks and Spencers
for our long time employees of more than 10 years

http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/af218/rrntcaceres/day1085.jpg?t=1294012914

Rustans for our employees who
had been with us for more than five years

http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/af218/rrntcaceres/day1084.jpg?t=1294012945

And Metro(Gaisano) for everyone else
which we bought in Pacific Mall Legazpi
shortly before Christmas.

http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/af218/rrntcaceres/day1002.jpg?t=1294013018

To my disappointment, some of our employees
were telling us that some items in the Metro gift packs
have expired very recently or nearly expiring.

http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/af218/rrntcaceres/day1004.jpg?t=1294013077

I asked our yaya to open the gift pack we gave her-
true enough there were items that expired before the year end.

http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/af218/rrntcaceres/expired.jpg?t=1294013204

Why would they sell something
that would expire in less than a week?:ohno::ohno:

Thanks,doc for teh pics! :okay:

Looks like nothing really happened :D

All streets were clean yesterday. At 3pm, I went to Centro yesterday and there were indeed very few people strolling the city center and few tricycles roaming the streets.
I think the city cleaners cleaned the mess just before the sun rise.

Yup, Tim has a future in show business. He's already well-exposed here :D. He posesvery well on cam....

Tim is my passport to take of pictures I could post without being very obvious.

I would just ask him to pose and he would do so without any protest as I take my main subject with my Camphone.:lol:

Really bad Father Xave.

Imagine the embarrassment of giving expired gifts that you are not aware of.

We purposely bought our gifts outside Naga (where most of our employees are based) and shied away form LCC, Robinson's and SM Gift Packs so they could not peek at the price of the gift.:lol:

I cannot believe that a big player like Metro Gaisano- having partnered with prestigious institutions like Ayala (Market Market, Marquee Mall and Ayala Center Cebu) would do such thing in their Pacific Mall Legazpi branch.

evening sir!

visited a while ago Mother Seton Hospital and saw construction at the back of the main building of the hospital, not sure if its still part of the MSH. Nwiez, gtg guys, naki internet lang...thumbs up to the staff and personnel of MSH for a good service and also to Dr. Magnaye for a successful operation to correct a blood clot in the brain after a stroke of a mother of our fellow employee at UNC. The doctor recommended for an immediate transfer to East Avenue Med Center early morning today and an ambulance was needed (I even texted Mayor JB for an assistance and luckily they were not disappointed) however, the patient cannot bear anymore the long and arduous travel to Manila so they've decided to continue with the operation.

kudos to MSH for a superb service!!:okay:

marhay na bangui!

I'm not aware of any construction at the back of the Mother Seton Hospital. I'll check it out this after noon when I make my rounds.

But the new Medical Center Naga will start its construction soon.

My wife and I have already found a perfect venue for out Nuclear Medicine Facility. We already had an initial talk and we will be negotiating very soon.

Wow! A nuclear medicine facility?!?! :banana:

It will be the first in Bicol doc, right? I do not even know of nuclear med practitioners in the Philippines. Are there any?

Anyway, it will be one great move in medicine for Bicol doctors to have a facility like that around. :clap:

Anyway, it will be one great move in medicine for Bicol doctors to have a facility like that around. :clap:

There are already training hospitals for Nuclear Medicine in the Philippines (UST and UP- PGH) and we already have doctors with specialty training in Nuclear Medicine.

But there is not much Nuclear Medicine facility in other parts of the PI except for Manila, Cebu, and Davao- so we could not attract Nuclear Medicine practitoners in Bicol as they would be doing nothing without a Nuclear Medicine Setup.

Opening a Nuclear Medicine Facility has been in on my expansion plan for the Endolab but we have not found a place suitable for the said provision

We have already considered Bicol Access Health Centrum, St. Louise Center and Aquinas University in the past.

Lately we have already decided to build one at the third floor of Plaza Medica until this hospital came along.

The Medical Center Naga allows investment package where we could own a unit in the hospital and we would in turn own the facility. It would not be under the hospital jurisdiction but it would co- exist and would be an added attraction to the new hospital. The Endolab has been operating that way- we have a symbiotic relationship the other hospitals and doctors in the area. We offer a different fare from what they do- so we are not considered competitor.

I have not been a believer of co- owning a business with other people. If it is possible that I open up on my own, I’ll do it.

I’ll just open the facility for other doctors to use without them spending a single peso for just like I did with the Endolab.

It is simpler that way.

Bikol Book Cited

Bikol Book Cited
ARTICLE | JANUARY 3, 2011 - 4:39AM | BY VOX BIKOL

Sayod kong Tataramon (National Commission for Culture and the Arts, 2009) by Carlos A. Arejola (left, back row) was among the five literary titles cited in the 10th Madrigal Gonzalez Best First Book Award.

Also cited were Batbat ni Udan (Central Books) by Telesforo Sungkit, Jr.; Tugmaang Matatabil: Mga Akdang Sinulat sa Libingan ng mga Buhay (Southern Voices) by Axel Pinpin; Kantilaho (University of Santo Tomas Publishing House) by Joseph Saguid, and Agaw-Dilim, Agaw-Liwanag (University of the Philippines Press) by Lualhati Abreu (front, center), which eventually won the top honors in the said first-time author book award, given December 10, 2010 at the Toyota Hall of Wisdom of the University of the Philippines in Diliman.

The five books were chosen from literary titles in Filipino published in 2008 and 2009.

ADNU has a Center for Psychological Services and they are accepting clients from outside the university. I want one like that but not school based of course with all the kinds of Psychological Assessment (i'm dreaming big :nuts:) , minsan kaya gates of an institution already hinders clients to visit the center.. others are even shy.. hayyy Filipinos are not yet that fully aware if what does a Counselor or Psychologist do as a Profession.. a lot still has this misconception that when we talk about anything Psychological... it's near to being :nuts:

Start one Jo.

That's a very good idea.

Almost 70% of our daily consultations are what we call Acute Anxiety Reaction which are stress related. Most Filipinos would not want to be seen by a psychiatrist as it gives then the stigma of having psychosis.

Going to a tamer psychologist is a better option for Filipinos- but there are no Psychologists practicing privately in Bicol.

A privately owned Psychology Wellness Center is not a unique idea as there are several in Metro Manila but we badly need one in Bicol.

Go for it Jo. Be a pioneer practitioner- it pays to be one.

I did the same thing in 1994 when I returned to Bicol as its first Endocrinologist. Most of my fellow endos were thinking I was nuts- an Endo in Bicol? Bicolanos may not even know what an endocrinologist is.

When I pioneered the practice in Naga and in the Bicol Region- I was able to recruit several Bicolano doctors to go into the field, established hormone laboratory for them to use, a facility in SM which they could also use as clinics- rent free. We are already waiting for our permit for the Endopharma at Plaza Medica ( a pharmacy for hard to find hormone prescriptions and hard to find endocrine related medicines). The Nuclear Medicine is a part of my expansion plan.

You'll have my support and first referral should you decide to open one.

I am not aware the Ateneo is offering these services.

Believe me Jo- it would be easier for me to convince my patients to go to a psychologist rather than a psychiatrist.

Just think of a business name that would shy away the the word Psyche, Mental Health and Psychiatry.

Think something a Wholistic Approach to health and well being or something closer to that...

Cause of Nabua Fire Still Uncertain
Nabua, Camarines Sur (28 December 2010) --Investigators of the Bureau of Fire Protection in this town are still uncertain on the cause of a deadly blaze that killed five people at Zone 1, Barangay Santiago Old, Nabua town, about nine kilometers from the town proper, midnight of Sunday (Dec. 26).

Nabua Fire Marshall Nonito Biares said that fire investigators are still trying to determine what started the fire at the Pariña residence which was also used by the owner as upholstery and welding shops.

Reportedly, adjacent neighbors failed to wake the sleeping occupants in the house when the fire had rapidly spread, causing the latter to be trapped in the blaze.

Sources at the Nabua Local Government said Mayor Simbulan has initiated to give financial assistance to the surviving members of the Pariña family.

Spokesman of the Camarines Sur Police Office in Naga City, SPO4 Romulo Pabiano, identified those who perished in the blaze as: Anastacio Perez Pariña, 68, owner of the house; his wife Norminda Gavina Pariña, 37; and their three children Alvin, 5; Erlinda, 3; and one-year old Vincent.

The deadly fire that claimed the lives of the Pariña family started shortly after 11:00 P.M. on Sunday, and was reportedly put out by Nabua firefighters at 12:00 midnight.http://voxbikol.com/article/cause-nabua-fire-still-uncertain

Alfelor Matriarch Celebrates 96th Birthday
A life well-lived and a loving family around her --- only few of the things that Dra. Remedios Rigoroso-Alfelor, the loving wife of the late Camarines Sur Governor Felix O. Alfelor Sr. still enjoys. Indeed, she could not ask for more having been blessed with so many good things that life has to offer.

On December 30, 2010, Dr. Alfelor, fondly called “Wawa” by her loved ones and friends, celebrated her 96th birthday. As expected, it was colorfully marked with both presents and presence, especially by her siblings who never forget to come home just to join her on her special day.

A simple yet remarkable ceremony was held at the UNEP Gymnasium and was attended by UNEP personnel, faculty members, relatives, friends and colleagues, particularly from the academe.

Ms. Deli Alfelor-Tibi, UNEP Executive Vice President and concurrently the university’s VP for Finance was on top of the preparations.

“My sisters coming from the other side of the coast came to see our mother and celebrate another year of blessings with her. We are also thankful for those people who stay and keep sharing this special day with us. This is again another year of giving joy and inspiration to every soul and life that she has touched.”

Wawa was known for her dedication to promote quality education, not to mention her affiliation to various civic and socio organizations which caters to the needy and the less privileged.

“Wawa is not just a teacher to her students- she is also their mother who treats her students like her own siblings. She encouraged them, above all things to pursue their education and use it as tool to better themselves,” Ms Deli recalls.

Where UNEP is now, it is because Wawa have poured not just her time and talent, but also herself into making the university one of the institutions that stands out from the rest. Now, it is living up to its name as the HOME OF GLOBAL Achievers, a legacy that UNEPians will continue to celebrate today and onwards. http://voxbikol.com/article/alfelor-matriarch-celebrates-96th-birthday

Bus companies suspended over fatal accidents
MANILA, Philippines – Public utility bus companies that own vehicles involved in deadly accidents have been suspended, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said Monday.

The LTFRB suspended the operation of Gasat Express after one of its units was involved in a vehicular accident in Batangas that killed 7 people on Sunday.

LTFRB spokesperson Sonia del Mundo said the suspension is effective 30 days upon receipt of the order by the bus company.

The bus company’s 17 units will not be allowed to operate during the period.

"Ang presumption is that they are in the same condition, kung isa magkaroon ng problema, it's due diligence na tingan din ang condition of the rest," Del Mundo explained.

The Batangas accident was the 9th major bus accident since 2010 and the first in 2011.

The LTFRB Regional Office in Benguet has also recommended an unspecified penalty on the company operating the ESO Nice bus that plunged into a ravine last August 18.

The accident killed 42 people and injured 7.

Other bus companies are still serving suspensions over similar accidents.

These include a JAM Liner bus accident that killed 5 people and injured 5 at the STAR tollway in Quezon province last August 23, and the Twin Hearts bus that fell into the ravine also in Quezon last December 29 wherein 3 people died.

CUL Transport, which owns a bus that fell into a creek last August 29, killing 5 people and injuring 52, has already complied with a safety inspection and drug testing requirements, the LTFRB said.

The bus company’s suspension has already been lifted.

A court hearing, meanwhile, is ongoing for CORIMBA Express, which owns a bus that figured in an accident in Commonwealth Avenue that killed Makati Regional Trial Court Judge Reynaldo Laigo and his wife.

The LTFRB, on the other hand, does not have any status report yet on the Guevarra Bus line unit that collided with a private vehicle in Camarines Sur, killing beauty queen Melody Gersbach, and the Corominas Bus unit that crashed into a house last July in Toledo, Cebu, killing 21 Iranian students.

New training, accreditation for bus drivers proposed

With the spate of road accidents involving buses, drivers should undergo thorough training and proper accreditation to professionalize the sector, a government official said Monday.

Technical Education and Skills Development Authority Director General Joel Villanueva said they have been meeting with Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) officials on requiring public utility vehicle drivers to undergo accreditation under the National Competency Programs 2 and 3.

The program is required for overseas Filipino workers who want to work as drivers abroad.

"Ang nakikinabang sa training na ito ay ibang bansa, sa mga nag-aabroad nirerequire ito ng mga employer na TESDA accredited sila," Villanueva said.

He added that it is high time that the same professional certification be given to drivers of public buses and trailer trucks in the country.

He cited a DOTC study showing that 85% of road accidents are caused by drivers themselves.

"Pag naa-assess sila, hindi dapat katakutan ng mga matitinong driver ito, dahil pag alam mo ang road safety, makakapasa ka," he said.

Villanueva assured that TESDA has the international modules and professionals to train and certify around 4,000 drivers in Metro Manila and at least 50,000 across the country if the proposal is approved.

He said the proposed program is apart from the driver’s license issued by the Land Transportation Office.

The difference between the 2 lies not only in the technical capability in driving but also professionalism in following rules and regulation and the common courtesy required among drivers worldwide. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/01/03/11/bus-companies-suspended-over-fatal-accidents

PSC starts search for beach games venues
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) will begin the search for a city that can play host to the 2013 Asian Beach Games, PSC chairman Richie Garcia said.

While places like Subic and Cebu are both renowned for their beaches, Garcia said it could not yet be determined if they are capable of accommodating between 3,000 to 4,000 athletes from 45 countries.

“We have lots of beaches that can host the events but finding the city that can accommodate the big number of delegates is our primary concern,” said Garcia.

Apart from Subic and Cebu, also being eyed are the scenic beaches of Bohol, Negros Oriental and Siquijor, while the local governments of Camarines Sur, Bataan and the surfing haven of Siargao have also expressed their desire in having the event played there.

Garcia said the number of sports disciplines will also be tackled soon by the PSC and POC, adding that it might be reduced to just 12 from the average of 15 or 16.

Haiyang in China will host it in 2012, according to the Olympic Council of Asia, while the 2014 hosting belongs to Phuket, Thailand.

This would be the first time the country is hosting an Asian multi-event since the 1954 Asian Games was staged in Manila.

In the last Asian Beach Games held in Muscat, Oman, Thailand wound up with the overall title with a collection of 15 gold, 10 silver and 11 bronze medals.

The Filipinos came home empty-handed although triathlete Lea Coline Langit made it to the medal round, finishing fourth behind two Japanese and Chinese rivals.

Joel Mejarito of sailing also finished fourth.http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/296222/psc-starts-search-beach-games-venues
