Honest tricycle driver returns City visitor’s phone

http://dumaguetemetropost.com/clients/dumaguetemetropost/2-5-2012-5-00-19-PM-1092431.jpeg

Blackberry cellphone that he found but tricycle driver Miller Rio Janayan got the surprise of his life and a few minutes of fame when he was ushered to see Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria in his office.

Janayan, driver of tricycle number 1026, had just dropped off a passenger last Thursday and was in search of more passengers when he heard a ring tone of a cellular phone in the empty passenger seat beside him.

Instead of answering the call, Janayan proceeded directly to the Traffic Management Office (TMO), who returned the cellphone to its owner--Acting Deputy Executive Director Carminda Arevalo of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.

Arevalo was in Dumaguete to witness the transfer of the historical marker of Dr. Jose Rizal at the Quezon Park Thursday afternoon. Arevalo was happy to see her cellphone that she left a cash reward of P1,000 for Janayan.

TMO Chief Danny Atillo contacted Janayan Friday morning and as soon as Janayan showed up at the TMO, he was immediately escorted by City Tourism Officer Woodrow Maquiling Jr. to the Mayor’s office.

There, Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria handed over the cash reward and expressed his admiration to Janayan for being an example to his fellow tricycle drivers in the city.

Sagarbarria said Janayan proved that ordinary people are capable of doing extraordinary deeds for the betterment of society.

Some people did wait out for the tsunami. :ohno: Be safe everyone. God bless Negros and the ever resilient Negrénse spirit!

NEVER WAIT FOR A TSUNAMI...ONCE YOU SEE IT, YOU CAN'T OUTRUN IT.

ONCE THE SEA RETREATS UNUSUALLY OR RISES UNUSUALLY, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO HIGH GROUND. ITS BETTER TO HAVE RUN HIGH AND THE TSUNAMI DID NOT ARRIVE THAN GET CAUGHT AND OVERWHELMED BY THE TSUNAMI AND FOUND OUT ITS TOO LATE TO ESCAPE

The Run for Love: Run for Sendong Victims is a project of the Silliman University Student Government Health Committee and the SU College of Nursing with technical assistance from the Metro Dumaguete Roadrunners Club and Gawad Kalinga. More than 1,000 runners participated in the 1.43k, 3k, 5k and 10k events to raise funds and help rebuild communities devastated by Sendong. It was great to see so many people running for a cause while advocating a healthier lifestyle. Congratulations to the organizers! Until the next fun run.

I was at the Silliman Med. Center - Med Arts Bldg when the quake happened. And I was at the third flood. Goodness, that was hella scary. The shake was intensified since I was on top and the bldg is made of steel so shaking is more defined. People were running outside. I did not know how I got out! After a few minutes and after the first aftershocks, patients were evacuated from their rooms in orderly fashion..

Robinsons is sitting on a very unstable ground. It used to be a swamp. So naturally, any quake is being intensified in the area.

Minutes after the earthquake. This is at the city downtown area. Shoppers from the surrounding department stores and mall rush out and gather on lower grounds to seek safety.

In reality, the tsunami alert was only for a 1-meter water to hit the shoreline, or for "unusual waves near the shoreline...Going to Valencia was actually unnecessary as the near Junob/Talay would have sufficed to offset the expected 1-meter rise in sea level...I remembered a Silliman Professor once said that chances of a full blown tsunami in Dauin-Sibulan area is slim:

Tsunami Warning/ Alert:
Provinces of Negros and Cebu under tsunami alert level 2 after series of eathquakes hit these areas. "Philvolcs tsunami alert level is now 2. The concerned public is advised to be on alert for unusual waves. People are advised to stay away from the shoreline. People should not go to the coast to watch the tsunami. People whose houses are very near coastal areas in Negros and Cebu islands areadvised to be watchful" Phivolcs said. PHIVOLCS, recorded 6.9 magnitude. Some people panicked upon hearing and reading the report from text and verbal communication. There were many misinterpretations, some say that Negros was hit by tsunami which is not true, but it was a warning or alert to make the people be more prepare in case the the tsunami will hit. Francisco Ablong, Physics Professor said that having a tsunami in Dumaguete was slim since we are surrounded by islands. Nothing to worry no tsunami will hit your places, announced by local and national news. You can see below the list of places that was affected by the earthquake.

What do you guys suggest the city gov't should have done to prevent panic? We have very few policemen and personnel and they too, just like everyone else, would obviously try to save their own lives and their families first...the tsunami didn't come but it was a POSSIBILITY, otherwise a an alert would not have been issued. Like everyone else nakulbaan pud cguro ang SAGARR task force because unexpected gyapon ang panghitabo like what happened during Sendong...IT'S DISHEARTENING THAT EVERYTIME DISASTER STRIKES WE ARE SO WE QUICK TO CRITICIZE THE GOV'T UNYA KITA WALA PUD GYAPON MABUHAT.

Some facts:

1. Huge waves washed out five bamboo and wooden cottages at a beach resort in La Libertad, but there were no reports of injuries, said police Superintendent Ernesto Tagle (La Limar)

2. the quake triggered another landslide in the mountain village of Solongon in La Libertad. An unknown number of people were trapped, people are now getting shovels and chain saws to start a rescue because there were people trapped inside. Some of them were yelling for help...

3. three key bridges in La Libertad cracked and were no longer passable

4. a child was killed in a church when a wall collapsed during a funeral in Jimalalud

5. two died in Tayasan, including a child when a concrete fence of a house collapsed

6. Negros Oriental police chief Edward Carranza said the temblor damaged many houses in Guihulngan

7. A three-story office building also collapsed in La Libertad, but occupants escaped.

Guihulngan is cut off

Guihulngan Mayor Ernesto Reyes said about 100 people were injured and brought for treatment to Guihulngan District Hospital and neighboring district hospitals.
Reyes said Guihulngan had about 100 patients who are in need of immediate medical attention. “We need to transport these patients to Bacolod, Cebu or Dumaguete but our roads and bridges are impassable,” he said.
Food and medicines were waiting in the provincial capital of Dumaguete, but the aid could not reach the villages in need because of damaged roads and bridges.

The Landbank building is leaning on one side while a portion of the public market collapsed.

Dumaguete all the way to the end of Tanon Strait is not prone to tsunami...

Hmmm, I think that will change since that map was made when the fault wasn't yet discovered....its still a body of water and could be tsunamigenic on quakes more than Magnitude 6 and/or Intensity VI that are shallow, near the shoreline and displaces a substantial volume of water.

Marami ding islands around Mindoro when the quake hit Verde Island Passage but tsunamis did occur since the epicenter is close to the shoreline.

the epicenter of Feb.6 was centered just 5 kilometers from Tayasan, which is a coastal town

Cradle of Culture, Heart of the Arts
Siliman University
Feb. 4, 2012 :: Manila Bulletin (http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/350366/cradle-culture-heart-arts#.Ty5d8HPoW_k.facebook)

http://www.mb.com.ph/sites/default/files/Untitled-1_1041.jpg

MANILA, Philippines — The rich history of Silliman University (SU) runs parallel to its excellent academic achievements and significant contributions to the country.

Aside from being home to a number of Centers of Excellence such as for nursing and teacher education, biology development, and biodiversity conservation, SU is one of the few places in the country that has a deep appreciation and genuine passion for culture and arts. Situated in Dumaguete City, the capital of the province of Negros Oriental, SU is a known haven for artists in the southern Philippines.

On Silliman grounds, for instance, is the amphitheatre where the first Shakespearean plays were performed in the country by an all-male student ensemble. The catacombs of the nearby church, on the other hand, became a sanctuary for artists and musicians during World War II.

“The cultural life at Silliman has two aspects — BL (‘Before Luce auditorium) and AL (After Luce auditorium). Before the construction of this beautiful building, there was already a lot of culture going on. Our biggest venue after the war was the gymnasium. Who performs in an airplane hangar? We did. Big performances were showcased there,” shares professor Isabel Vista, advisory council member, SU Cultural Affairs Committee (CAC).

The auditorium being referred to is of course the Marie Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium, which was built in 1975 and thereafter became the seat of the culture in the university. It is the only theater south of Manila that has a proper arts season.

Today, as the Silliman University Cultural Affairs Committee is set to celebrate its 50th year, the esteemed university opens its doors to its brightest cultural season yet.

GRATITUDE TO THE GIVER

The 50th anniversary celebrations to start in June will be called Handulantaw, which literally means “a tribute to the great giver of talents.’’

“The golden anniversary of cultural affairs in Silliman University is a testimony to God’s blessings to SU. It is for this reason why Handulantaw is a tribute in gratitude to the great giver of talents,” explains CAC chair Prof. Diomar Abrio.

This year-long celebration directs SU’s goal to spread culture and arts with fire, faith, instruction, research, and extension.

“Faith that God, the great giver of life, will continue to bless the university, educate the academe and the community, intensify our research program component through cultural research and exhibitions, and strengthen the extension program by supporting local entities through workshops and teacher trainings and bringing presentations to various local communities and encourage participation in the larger community,” Abrio adds.

BRILLIANT 50 YEARS

The committee launched the 50th cultural season, which will run from June to May 2013.

Different performing companies from Dumaguete and Manila will showcase their talent for this cultural season. Among the performers are the Philippine Opera Company (in season opener “Ang Bagong Harana), the Loboc Children’s Choir, the Philippine Educational Theater Association ( “William”), Ballet Philippines in Sleeping Beauty,” Octava Choral Society, the Kahayag Dance Company, the Silliman University Symphony Orchestra, and Ryan Cayabyab in ‘’A Night with Maestro Ryan Cayabyab.’’

The season will also feature events such as Cinemalaya goes to Silliman; The Man and the World: A Tribute to Edilberto K. Tiempo on the Centenary of his Birth, the Albert Faurot Lecture Series, the Eddie Romero Film Series; the Annual Himig at Sayaw competition, etc.

Silliman University is not only a venue for art appreciation but it is also an institution that has produced some of the country’s best artists in the fields of music, literature, and film.

Among them are filmmaker Eddie Romero, National Artist for Cinema; writers Edith Tiempo, National Artist for Literature, Edilberto Tiempo, and Cesar Cruz Aquino, four-time Palanca awardee.

It is also the breeding ground for budding writers, with its long-running Silliman National Writers Workshop founded by Edilberto Tiempo.

SU also has its own College of Performing and Visual Arts which has a roster of student artists who go around to perform. SU holds regular workshops for music and visual arts, and offers scholarships to talented yet underprivileged high school students.

This nurturing environment for cultural appreciation has inspired its student body to truly appreciate the arts.

“One of the things that awed me is how truly appreciative the students are. They know what a good performance is. I think what this tradition has given to young people is really a grounded aesthetic of appreciation. You usually see this reaction to pop culture and media. You get a classical group and they really like the show and not because they are being tutored but because they know that it is good art,” shares Dessa Quesada Palm, CAC committee member and a former resident of Manila.

It is not about commodization, Palm qualifies. “I think, it is the value of the arts. Even if there are circumstances, we think that it is an integral part of education,” she adds.

STRUGGLING BUT SURVIVING

The committee admits that although the appreciation is already there, they are still struggling to sustain it especially today when young people spend most of their time on computers and social networking sites.

To face this head-on, the administration has incorporated art appreciation in the curriculum. For example, Fine Arts students are required to watch cultural shows.

“Some of the students actually would like to join. But we have a difficult time now because some of the students would rather just go play with their computers and do Facebook. There is really a struggle against this, because what they see on TV is totally the opposite of what we show. But thankfully, many students now really come to buy the season tickets,” CAC Advisory Council chair Dr. Elizabeth Susan Suarez laments.

“How were we able to reach 50 years? It has not been easy. The first vision of CAC differed from the vision we have now. That is because of the changing times and the people going and coming. It has not been easy for all these years to keep the creative juices alive for the ones who have the passion for it,” adds Dr. Suarez

SU has always considered the youth as the grassroots in building culture. ‘’We want to be seen by the world as a community that continues to celebrate arts and culture. Hopefully we can get the financial support to sustain what we have already started,” Dr. Suarez says.

OUTSIDERS LOOKING IN

People outside of Dumaguete and the SU community regard these places with much respect and awe.

“It’s so hard to sustain the arts. In fact I’m envious of what you have here because you have really the community responding to your call for sustainability. In Manila, of course, we find it rather challenging, an uphill battle to rally the community, especially our business community. But we don’t lose hope,” shares Cultural Center of the Philippines president Raul Sunico.

On the other hand, Paul Morales, artistic director of Ballet Philippines, says the presence of a cultural theater like the Luce Auditorium has played a major role in spreading the love for arts among in the community. “They have a significant season here. Having a local theater gives space to the local artists and it helps professionalize and sustain the industry as a whole,” Morales says.

Through the years, there is only one thing that has remained constant in SU’s history — that it will continue to nurture anyone who cares for the arts. Silliman University is a dream place for artists, and with all the concerted efforts being exerted by those who believe in its vision, SU will continue to be the haven that it already is for a long, long time.

...NOT!!!

THIS IS GUIHULNGAN

HINAKPAN HILLS
Brgy. Hinakpan, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental

Hinakpan Hills are situated in the peak of Guihulngan so one can feel the extreme coolness of the air while viewing its beauty as well as that of the other places such as the Canlaon Volcano. Unlike the Chocolate Hills of Bohol, no two hills are alike in Hinakpan. Geologic forces cast all 237 limestone peaks in unique shapes and sizes. The picturesque barangay of Hinakpan was named after the abundant hardwood takpan trees in the area.

ABS CBN Cebu, in coordination with the the Cebu City gov't., organized a relief campaign for quake victims. They set up a booth at Fuente Osmena and are accepting cash donations and supplies. I am appealing to Dumaguetenos and other Oriental Negrenses for help. Christmas is over but we should exhibit the same level of generosity we did during Sendong. Medicines, food and other basic supplies are badly needed. Donations can be dropped off at the local Red Cross office but I'll go to ABS CBN later, I'm sure they accept donations too.

"Antibiotics, cough medicine, antihistamines, anti-malaria medicine and other healthcare supplies worth $2.1 million have arrived at Silliman University from the New York-based Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB) for victims of Tropical Storm Sendong.

The donation, which arrived January 27, will be distributed following an orientation on February 6."

Just in time. Some of these supplies should be used for quake relief instead. Sobra2x na ang relief nga gihatag sa mga Sendong victims.

Looks like another bakeshop República Negrénse is interested to review. I hope I can finally push through with my trip to Dumaguete. :)

I highly recommend their cheesy rolls, focaccias, italian tuna/pizza folds, apple-cinnamon surprise, coffee bread, cinnamon clusters, bagels, ciabbatas, sunflower seed loaf and coffee crostinis.. They are pretty similar to breadtalk, self-service bakeshop with gourmet bread selections but their ambiance is more on the rustic side. My friends from Bacolod hoard Focaccias as their pasalubong when they get tired of sans rival and silvanas, which easily melt and make a mess while commuting..:)

Occidental to help Oriental

The Negros Occidental provincial government will give assistance to Negros Oriental for its earthquake-stricken towns and cities, Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. yesterday said.

The governor could not disclose yet the amount of the financial assistance, as it will still be discussed and approved by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) during its regular session today.

Marañon hinted that it might be the same procedure last December when the Provincial Capitol bought goods and kitchen wares using the money approved by the SP for the flood-hit towns and cities of Negros Oriental.

Actually, with the pics, the ambience is way better than Bread Talk. :eat: With the San Rival, I would go for miles just to have that. My last visit in Dumaguete, I ordered and ate as many as I can for I know I can't bring it by bus. :lol:

Aid is coming from Bacólod since roads to Dumaguete are cut. As far as I know, Provincial Government in Occidental is sending heavy equipment and needed personnel as Doc Muscovado has also heard. Anyway, here is one relief effort:

Stay put Negrénse brothers and sisters, we are coming in with help.

^^ we silently pray for all of you guys out there... thanks migo @RN for posting this contact for us to coordinate as i'm lobbying within my family to share whatever they and i can, knowing that it's of great help to our brothers in need. God bless everyone!!!

we at Negros Occidental are still in shock with the scope of the disaster. It was still my childhood memory travelling Bacolod to Dumaguete via Canlaon or San Carlos every summer and Christmas and love the beautiful coastal road bordered by the steep mountains. I really cant imagine the devastation now. :(

I hope ma paspasan ang pag dala sa relief goods like water and food

One clear thing with this photo that I have observed! It seems that this mountain side did experience a landslide in the past! Look at the background cliff, it is an old indication that this side of the mountain dropped from its original level at the peak! Can you see it guys?

from Dumaguete, you can ride a Ceres bus going to Zamboanguita (routes could be Dgte-Bayawan, Dgte-Hinobaan, or Dgte-Sipalay.. then you tell the conductor to drop you off at Malatapay, Zamboanguita.. from the highway, it's just a short walk towards the jetty port with trips to Apo Island v.v.

Negros Occidental to Give P500K to Oriental Negros

Negros Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. said the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) approved the budget during its regular session yesterday. Last December, the Provincial Capitol also gave P500,000 to Negros Oriental when it was also severely hit by floods. Rep. Albee Benitez (3rdDistrict) yesterday said he gave Negros Oriental P500,000 from his personal money. He added that he has also raised P500,000 from his colleagues in the House of Representatives.

Reyes said patients in critical condition have been brought to Bacolod City as they have no means of transportation going to the provincial capital of Dumaguete City.

full story (http://www.ndb-online.com/local-news)

^^on top of this, i heard the province will be sending its heavy equipment to help in the early restoration of damaged infras. BFP trucks from bacolod city were also instructed to bring in potable water to the seriously hit areas. the private sectors are also initiating relief assistance in their own little way.

relief efforts are coming in trickles due to the geographical limitation of the stricken areas plus the damaged access roads. And the Dumaguete Airport would be burdened with this overwhelming arrival of relief efforts.

Why not make use of the Bacolod-Silay Airport, San Carlos Airstrip and San Carlos Port.

Relief by air could be brought thru Bacolod-Silay Airport then brought by land thru Don Salvador and San Carlos City. Then from San Carlos City it could be brought by land thru Vallehermoso or directly thru the sea. Same with the San Carlos Airstrip

Another option would be thru La Carlota City, La Castellana, Canlaon City and thru Vallehermoso

In that way important aid comes from all directions and would make it faster

then those injured and need medical support could be brought to San Carlos City for further management or to Bacolod and Cebu

Ask ko lang dokey. Did the earthquake damaged the roads up to that Bagawines Crossing? (right after Vallehermoso?) If so, La Carlota, Canlaon City, and San Carlos City option will be hard, IMHO.

I suggest NGO's sending help by boat instead. I guess there are Ro-Ro ports along the West Cebu side and can dock at Guihulngan port (or if Basak, Guihulngan wharf is still available). I'm not sure but Guihulngan Port used to be able to accommodate 3 boats with 4-meter draft before (longest berth about 70 meters). I could be wrong, but I'm just trying to picture out how things can be done there.

Or, government can get assistance from the PN and borrow any LST from the Navy.

Maayong Buntag Dumaguete & Negros Oriental!

kumusta namo dinha? medjo OT ni akoa pero mushare lang ko gamay. Estorya ra ni ato ha. Ako hinuon, dili biya gyud ko mutuo ug mga superstitions pero nakahinumdum man gud ko sauna nga gibalita dinha sa Dumaguete nga naay nadakpan nga serena. hain naman diay to sya? tinuod ba gyud to? nisangpot lang ni sa akong huna2x ba kay diba according to folklore kung naay serena nga madakpan or pasakitan, naay katalagman nga mahitabo? I don't know lang ha

We have always been spared from the worst of disasters, and these interruptions rarely visit our place, especially the southeast portion of the island...Would I believe in superstitions or things such as karma? I do believe in supernatural beings (but not in superstition), because I believe in cause and effect. But I believe in science as well...and the fact that there is just a spate of "unfortunate" events in our province could be traced to decisions or activities made by some people. Think of bad karma, although I am not saying that that's really it 100%...

fire trucks from San Carlos, Sagay, and Cadiz have already reached Guihulngan since Tuesday, so i think the roads starting from the Occ.-Or. boundary at Buluangan, San Carlos all the way to Guihulngan are not damaged

As per NDRRMC the Crossing Bagawines and other access roads in Vallehermoso and Canlaon City did not report any damages and are passable.:):)

By sea, the port of San Carlos will be a major transloading area for relief too just like what they did in small fishing wharves in Mauban and Atimonan after TD Winnie destroyed the coastal roads of Quezon Province in 2004. :):):):)

there's no such thing as karma... well unless if your not a christian.
Other provinces/cities have worst leaders governing them and they don't have these calamities.

the earth is changing, climate change is real and these are some of its consequences.

A visiting Canadian doctor is in awe at the dedication and selflessness of the medical staff at the Guihulngan District Hospital who, even as the walls and floors were rent and parts of the ceiling were falling, doggedly went on working during Monday’s devastating earthquake in Negros Oriental.
“The nurses were doing a fantastic job organizing casualties. We worked through the night as the injured and even the dead were rushed in,” said Dr. Hugh Parsons, an ophthalmologist.
“I was aware of the Filipino people’s resiliency, but what I saw there drove it home for me,” said the Canadian ophthalmologist.
He cited the case of a nurse, whose name he failed to take down, who was taking care of the injured even while she worried about the fate of her father who lived in Barangay (village) Planas, which was badly hit by the 6.9-magnitude temblor.
Parsons, a retina specialist who is married to Filipino physician Tina Aquino, has been conducting medical missions in China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines. He was on his way to La Libertad town at the head of a 15-member team of doctors, nurses and medical staff when the tremor struck.
When the team could not get through the roads to La Libertad, it was decided to proceed to Guilhulngan.
Hospital scene
Parsons said he had never seen anything approaching the scale of what he saw in the city.
“Everybody was dazed. Quite a lot of people moved out of their homes for fear of a tsunami. A lot of places were empty. Churches, buildings and houses had collapsed,” Parsons said.
At the Guihulngan District Hospital, the staff tried to deal with so many persons with fractures, cuts and abrasions from falling debris. The patients had been moved out to a portion of the lawn protected by tarpaulin as the hospital was already considered unsafe, Parsons said.
The dedicated nurse, he said, did not abandon her post even as she kept trying to call her father in Planas. But the phone lines were down. When a connection was finally made at about 2 a.m. the next day, she could not reach her father.
Among those who died in the quake were four high school classmates of the nurse’s daughter, Parsons said. He said he did not know if the nurse finally had reach her father.
Because the hospital was lacking in facilities, the medical staff could only stabilize the critically ill patients until the ambulances were finally able to pass through the road between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. on Tuesday, Parsons said.
Guihulngan could only be reached from the north since the roads and bridges in the south had been destroyed.
“We could only put splints on those with fractures. There were no supplies to set fractures nor anesthesia,” Parsons recalled. He said he sutured a lot of wounds.
They tried to send home people who were stable as quickly as possible to make space for more quake victims coming in, he said.
Hands full
Parsons said he could not say how many patients were brought to the hospital because the medical staff had their hands full with people coming in and out.
In between treating the patients, the doctors and nurses would rest on a cemented area inside the hospital, but aftershocks prompted them to run outside and stay there.
Parsons said he was informed that the hospital in La Libertad had also sustained damage.
“I don’t know where they will treat patients in serious condition,” Parsons said.
“They have no capability to sterilize hospital equipment. They are running out of medical supplies, local anesthetics, sutures, syringes and needles,” he said.
Yes-we-can attitude
Parsons said he was amazed at how people were ready to work and to help others, were polite and even managed to smile despite what they went through.
“Somebody brought us as far as he could never expecting anything for it, and the police and Army helped us move our supplies,” he said.
“The people there all seemed to have this ‘yes, we can’ attitude, and the spirit of wanting to help in whatever way they could,” said Parsons.

if we say it in the context of environmental neglect by our politicians (turning a blind eye to the illegal logging activites and not being able to enforce waste segragation laws) then certainly the calamity of Sendong and the landslides has been sort of a "payback" by Mother Nature..

but yet again, politicians do not make the society alone, if we blame them for neglect, then certainly the people also have their own lapses..

Indeed, karma is a very Christian thing...You reap what you sow, cause and effect.

Got this from an email...

Reap What You Sow
If we always reap what we sow, the Bible would clearly confirm this. To the contrary; let’s look at just a few passages of scripture that contradict karmic philosophy:

In Jeremiah 12:1 we see that the wicked actually REAP (prosper) in this world! “Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?”

On the other hand, God can thwart the reaping of the wicked. This truly shows that karma is not a Biblical concept:

Jeremiah 12:13: “They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns, they have strained themselves to no profit. But be ashamed of your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD."

Hosea 8:7: “For they sow the wind and they reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it yields no grain. Should it yield, strangers would swallow it up.”

Micah 6:15: “You will sow but you will not reap. You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil; and the grapes, but you will not drink wine.”

And sometimes, God works quite the opposite of karma:

Psalm 126:5: “Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.”

Matthew 6:26: “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?”

But what about the scripture that says, “Whatever a man sows, this he will also reap”? Let’s read this in context, and then understand its meaning:

Galatians 6:7-9: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.”

What is this talking about? When we put our faith in works in order to determine our earthly outcome, we are sowing to the flesh. When we put our faith in Christ we are sowing to the Spirit and reap eternal life!

Canadian doc awed by heroism of Guihulngan hospital staff

A visiting Canadian doctor is in awe at the dedication and selflessness of the medical staff at the Guihulngan District Hospital who, even as the walls and floors were rent and parts of the ceiling were falling, doggedly went on working during Monday’s devastating earthquake in Negros Oriental.

“The people there all seemed to have this ‘yes, we can’ attitude, and the spirit of wanting to help in whatever way they could,” said Parsons.

The Chief of Guihulngan District Hospital is Dr. Edgardo Pialogo. His house in Jimalalud was also damaged during the earthquake and had to temporarily live in a tent, but due to the higher call of duty, he had to leave his family in Jimalalud and go to Guihulngan amidst the aftershocks and damaged roads and bridges to help the victims and patients of his hospital.

Here are his pictures and captions of what he call as "field hospital" since they could not go inside the hospital and they had to operate and work outside and under the tents.

Quite a long reply for such a small matter...Cause and effect is a basic premise in our physical world. And in our daily lives and business, cause and effect/reaping and sowing are basic principles that people follow. Of course it is not that simple, it is a given. If you plant, there are a lot of factors. But people plant for the basic reason that they want to harvest...If you do bad you are supposed to reap a bad reward, but it is not that simple. Along the way while waiting for the bad reward you might repent and get forgiveness. Then what is the bad thing due you might be withheld, and instead you get favor. But of course you reap the consequence, but the full force of your bad deeds may not fall on you, such as losing eternal life or paradise. Again everything is not really that simple. Some people may prosper because of their treachery, and maybe because the people they have dealt with are wicked as well. But again the basic principle is people reap what they sow, more so if that has been for a very long time already, there ought to be some results, whether physically or spiritually, and spiritual punishments could be reflected in some very physical events.

I heard that the Albay province sent there relief response team to Negros to help everyone that's affected. Thank you God for people like them!

Let's keep praying and our faiths stronger! :)

Albay is one of the most disaster-visited province in the country. Living with the country's most active volcano and suffered three of the deadliest and record-breaking typhoons in our history is already a feat to behold.

Albay does not only give but they inspire us all on how to suvive against all odds....Kudos and salamat to Albay

^^ Being inspired by somebody (Albay) who've gone through various disaster/calamities one can easily act and response accordingly esp to those
hardly hit. :okay::okay::okay:

NEGROS Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon asked seismologists to closely monitor Mt. Kanlaon of possible eruption after the 6.9-magnitude earthquake.
The governor made the appeal to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) to allay fears that the quake, which was followed by several aftershocks, may trigger the eruption of the volcano, although the Capitol’s Provincial Disaster Management Program (PDMP) office earlier said the quake may not trigger eruption.
Water sources found near the vicinity of the volcano were believed to have been adversely affected, as indicated by water discoloration from these sources.
Based on the updated report of PDMP head Vicfran Defante, the sulfur pool of Mambukal Resort is also affected.
Residents in Barangay Minoyan in Murcia, which is close to Kanlaon volcano, reported that water coming from Kanlaon sources had turned black, making it unfit for drinking.
The Municipal Government of Murcia and the office of third district Representative Albee Benitez have been supplying water to the affected residents.
Water discoloration was also experienced in Moises Padilla, La Castellana and La Carlota, which are also near the volcano.
Marañon reiterated his appeal to the public not to panic in case of earthquake and instead pray for the safety of everybody.
He assured that the Provincial Government will extend assistance to the victims of the earthquake in Negros Oriental.
The Provincial Government will determine the exact amount, during its session Wednesday, which will be used to buy relief goods for the victims of the quake.
On the other hand, the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) reported cases of evacuation in Hinoba-an, Sipalay City, Kabankalan City, Hinigaran, Pontevedra, Calatrava, San Carlos City, Binalabagan, Sagay City, Isabela and Himamaylan, reportedly due to tsunami fears.
The residents reportedly went back to their respective houses early in the morning Tuesday.
Most of the evacuees said they received text messages about the tsunami alert after the earthquake.
Marañon asked residents that, before evacuating, they should first verify with authorities any text messages, which they may receive.
PDMP also reported that the earthquake also resulted in cracks on the walls of Sagay City and Cadiz City Halls and in the Unitop Building in San Carlos City.
In Himamaylan, the City Risk Reduction Council declared the suspension of work on the Himamaylan City Hall Monday afternoon.
The group also observed cracks in the walls and floors of the Himamaylan new hospital building, cracks on the bridges in Barangay 1 and Talaban in Himamaylan and the Himamaylan gym Entrance and in Talubangi bridge.
Gaisano Kabankalan building also suffered cracks.
At the Provincial Capitol, cracks were also noted at the SP office walls and flooring, tile floorings at the Vice Governor's Office, walls and flooring of the Accounting Office and the Public Affairs Office, PSWDO office, flooring of the DILG office, walls of the PHO office and administrative office.

One thing marring the whole relief efforts of the North, is discrimination. Non-Catholics are not receiving fair distribution of goods like others. I have many friends who are pastors in these areas, and they have been overlooked. I wish these relief workers would forget biases, and just help any they see who are in need at this time.

If that is true, that is terrible but which relief organization did the discrimination? I am a non-Catholic myself, an Evangelical Christian and one thing I know is that there is no such thing as religious delineation in an event of a disaster. :ohno:

Can you PM me and spell out some names and places? I am a Catholic but I don't believe that practice of not giving to non-Catholics is one of the teachings of our universal church! Maybe I can help by calling important friends in the area!

Hmmmm...I think this needs investigation.:ohno:

For me it might be some kind of misunderstanding or a different perception of each one of the evacuees on whats happening. I know the Diocese of Dumaguete and nearby Dioceses of San Carlos, Bacolod and Kabankalan are also sending aid thru local vicariates and parishes. So the aid is streaming out through these chaplaincies, parishes and churches. So most of the first recipients of the relief will be their parishioners. So this might be giving a perception to some that only catholics are being given relief.

By the way, the 2nd wave of aid from Provincial Government of Negros Occidental will be coming by Monday. :banana:

Aid is really coming in trickles. Most of the aid are coming from our neighboring islands, provinces and regions but it seems like aid isn't full blast from the national gov't

I remember the same slowpoke relief after Typhoon Ruping in 1990 when the govt at that time was so busy with political skirmishes and affairs in Metro Manila while the Visayas was waiting painfully.:ohno:

^^ Perhaps, naa pud ingon ana... taking advantages of the situation to get even with those who they think is not good or have grudges against with thinking that it's payback time... dili ingon ana...coz, we're all brothers regardless of religious affiliation. :ohno: :dunno: :nono:

Hello Albay Cares! Godspeed Recovery!
if u dont mind..hehe..
Team Albay goes to Negros for 6th mercy mission
LEGAZPI CITY - In response to the emergency appeal by Negros Oriental officials, Albay has dispatched its nationally acclaimed Team Albay on another mercy mission to Guihulngan City. The team is now in the earthquake-ravaged Central Visayas area.

Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said Team Albay’s mission is to help provide potable water, evacuation management, emergency pre-hospital and pre-emptive public health care, and psychosocial assistance to displaced residents, as well as assist in the search and retrieval of victims still missing in landslide-hit areas.

Salceda ordered the deployment of the team consisting of 86 personnel and their support staff, mostly veterans of five previous mercy missions, following the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that hit Negros Oriental that triggered massive landslides, chaos and evacuation.

The team is composed of specialists from the Office of Civil Defense V, the Albay Provincial Health Office and the Albay Water and Sanitation (Watsan) unit, the DOH Center for Health and Development V, the Philippine Air force Tactical Operations Group V, Naval Forces Southern Luzon (Navforsol) and the Albay-based 901st Army Brigade whose members are highly trained in search, rescue and retrieval, and armed with modern equipment.

GUV VISITS NEGROS, AID POURS FROM CAPITOL

http://cebu.gov.ph/_ssi/articles/images/200120215negros.jpg

Aftershocks continue to hit and sow fear among the people in Negros Oriental nine days after the 6.9 magnitude quake left them homeless and buried their loved ones alive last February 6.

This was the situation that Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia saw when she visited the affected local government units (LGUs) as she personally turned over P17.2 million in financial assistance for their rehabilitation.

Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo said the amount was the biggest they received from a single local government unit or donor.

The local chief executives, except the mayor of Bindoy, had to receive their financial aid from Cebu outside their municipal or city halls for fear of the aftershocks.

Ayungon, La Libertad, Tayasan, and Guihulngan City received P1 million each while Bindoy, Jimalalud and Vallehormoso were given P500,000 each.

“I would like to thank to Gov. Gwen for reaching out to us in spite of the bad roads, and the weather is not cooperating, but still she made an effort to come all the way from Cebu Province,” first district Representative Jocelyn Limkaichong said.

The Province of Negros Oriental also received P3 million and P7 million cash assistance for the damage caused by typhoon Sendong and the quake, respectively. ...

Precisely my question. I tried Googling this picture and saw that this pic was grabbed from the CentCom web. Here's the caption on that same picture:
Philippine Navy’s largest transport ship is scheduled to arrive in Cebu on the 31st of December to transport relief goods to flood stricken Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental.
Barko ng Republika ng Pilipinas (BRP) Bacolod City, LC-550 will be proceeding to Cebu after it completes its delivery of relief goods to Cagayan de Oro and Iligan cities.
Leo Lastimosa, TV Patrol Central Visayas’ anchor, announced thru DYAB, its local AM radio station that the ship will be transporting the relief goods they have repacked at their regional complex in Jagobiao, Mandaue City, Cebu.
Lastimosa lauded the Navy’s deed. He also thanked PN’s Flag Officer in Command, Vice Admiral Alex Pama and Naval Forces Central (Navforcen) Commanding Officer, Commodore Zyril Carlos for the assistance they have extended to the relief operations of their station.
Commissioned in 1993, the ship has a capacity to transport up to 48 TEU or 2,280 tons vehicles/general cargo, or up to 900 tons on Logistics Over The Shore (LOTS) / amphibious operations. Its ramps and the main deck are able to withstand roll on/roll off operations of even heavy main battle tanks.

Officials from the Department of Public Works and Highways have begun to repair roads and bridges damaged by the February 6 killer earthquake in Negros. The road network, they assured President Benigno Aquino III, may take at least 40 days to become passable even as repairs to bridges may take months to complete.

The power lines in northern Negros Oriental, which were damaged by the earthquake, were also being rebuilt with the help of neighboring electric cooperatives in Negros Island. Linemen were expected to complete the task by Saturday.

Soldiers find P90,000 cash in landslide area

Two soldiers from the 32nd Division Reconnaissance Company of the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division turned over the P90,000 cash found in the retrieval site of quake-hit Barangay Solonggon, La Libertad, Negros Oriental.

Privates Danny Faigane and Marlon Vera who found the money were part of the retrieval teams assigned in La Libertad, following the 6.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Negros Oriental last February 6.

Faigane and Vera at once informed 1st Lieutenant Gerald Deles, Commanding Officer of 32DRC, of the money found in the retrieval site yesterday morning.

Virginia Callora, owner of the money, could not hide her joy upon receiving back the money and expressed genuine gratitude to the two soldiers and lauding them for their honesty.

By the way, the 2nd wave of aid from Provincial Government of Negros Occidental will be coming by Monday. :banana:

Aid is really coming in trickles. Most of the aid are coming from our neighboring islands, provinces and regions but it seems like aid isn't full blast from the national gov't

I remember the same slowpoke relief after Typhoon Ruping in 1990 when the govt at that time was so busy with political skirmishes and affairs in Metro Manila while the Visayas was waiting painfully.:ohno:

GUV VISITS NEGROS, AID POURS FROM CAPITOL

http://cebu.gov.ph/_ssi/articles/images/200120215negros.jpg

Aftershocks continue to hit and sow fear among the people in Negros Oriental nine days after the 6.9 magnitude quake left them homeless and buried their loved ones alive last February 6.

This was the situation that Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia saw when she visited the affected local government units (LGUs) as she personally turned over P17.2 million in financial assistance for their rehabilitation.

Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo said the amount was the biggest they received from a single local government unit or donor.

The local chief executives, except the mayor of Bindoy, had to receive their financial aid from Cebu outside their municipal or city halls for fear of the aftershocks.

Ayungon, La Libertad, Tayasan, and Guihulngan City received P1 million each while Bindoy, Jimalalud and Vallehormoso were given P500,000 each.

“I would like to thank to Gov. Gwen for reaching out to us in spite of the bad roads, and the weather is not cooperating, but still she made an effort to come all the way from Cebu Province,” first district Representative Jocelyn Limkaichong said.

The Province of Negros Oriental also received P3 million and P7 million cash assistance for the damage caused by typhoon Sendong and the quake, respectively. ...

From the above-picture, this clearly is the Guihulngan City Wharf! MV Leonor 3 plies the Tangil, Dumanjug Wharf - Guihulngan City Wharf. IIRC, the other vessels plying this route were Sta. Ana and Sta. Maria, both sister boats of M/V Leonor (IDK if those boats have been retired).

50th Anniversary
Cultural Season

Since Silliman University's founding in 1901, a very important part of campus life has been its cultural fare. Every week, there is always a concert, a literary workshop or poetry reading, a play, a dance, an exhibit, a film showing, or some other cultural activity taking place in a number of exhibition halls and performance spaces, such as the Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium and Gallery, the Woodward Little Theater, the Guy Hall Music Sala, the Silliman Hall Gallery, the Amphitheater, the Main Library, the Gymnasium, the Audio-Visual Theater, the End House Gallery, the Silliman Church Catacombs, and others. Before the Luce Auditorium's completion in 1975, Shakespearean plays were regularly presented in the Amphitheater, and prestigious performing companies such as Le Grand Ballet Classique de France and such musical luminaries as pianist Susan Starr have performed in the Gymnasium.

In 1962, the Cultural Affairs Committee was formed under the able chairmanship of Prof. Miriam G. Palmore, who was the former director of the School of Music and Fine Arts (now the College of Performing Arts). Among the famous artists and performers in those early years of the Luce Auditorium included the Cultural Center of the Philippines Dance Company, Taipei Children's Choir, French concert pianist Nicole Delannoy, German violinist Denes Zsigmondy, American soprano Julia Finch, Swiss pianist Nicole Wickihalder, Filipina pianist Cecile Licad, American violinist Stanley Plummer, and popular local singers such as Pilita Corrales who was then a singing superstar in Australia. Silliman's own artists and performers also dominated the cultural landscape, including the Men's Glee Club under the baton of maestro Albert Faurot, the Silliman Young Singers and the Luce Choral Society under Mrs. Isabel Dimaya Vista, the Silliman Dance Troupe (now the Kahayag Dance Troupe) under Mrs. Lucy Jumawan, the Aldecoa Family Ensemble, and the Portal Players under Mr. Amiel Y. Leonardia.

Cradle of Culture, Heart of the Arts

CULTURED CAMPUS — Silliman University’s campus is in itself a cultural heritage. Photo By ANDREW PAMORADA
MANILA, Philippines — The rich history of Silliman University (SU) runs parallel to its excellent academic achievements and significant contributions to the country.

Aside from being home to a number of Centers of Excellence such as for nursing and teacher education, biology development, and biodiversity conservation, SU is one of the few places in the country that has a deep appreciation and genuine passion for culture and arts. Situated in Dumaguete City, the capital of the province of Negros Oriental, SU is a known haven for artists in the southern Philippines.

On Silliman grounds, for instance, is the amphitheatre where the first Shakespearean plays were performed in the country by an all-male student ensemble. The catacombs of the nearby church, on the other hand, became a sanctuary for artists and musicians during World War II.

Silliman U.'s Golden Year of Arts & Culture
KRIPOTKIN By Alfred A. Yuson (The Philippine Star)
February 13, 2012

A weekend in our adopted hometown of Dumaguete is always welcome, especially if it has to do with helping promote a facet of Silliman University that has yet to be fully appreciated.

On the last weekend of January, arts and culture honchos from Metro Manila as well as a media contingent were invited for proper immersion, and came away enthralled over a tradition that started all of fifty years ago.

That was when Silliman U’s Culture and Arts Committee was founded, with Miriam G. Palmore, then director of the School of Music and Fine Arts (now the College of Performing Arts) serving as the first chair. The idea was to have the university offer a regular series of cultural presentations, not simply as individual offerings by the various university departments.

For many years after finishing college, during my annual vacation leave from the newspaper writing business in Manila, I took sentimental journeys to Silliman in Dumaguete, where my heart belongs, as it does too, to my hometown of Gingoog City in Misamis Oriental. A couple of weeks ago, I returned to Silliman, thanks to an invitation to join a bunch of Manila-based journalists to observe the celebration of the 50th year of the founding of Silliman’s Cultural Arts Committee. This committee has been responsible for the artistic and cultural outputs of the university’s literati and culture vultures — of novels, poems and essays; concerts and operas, Broadway musicales, lectures and national and internationally-known workshops that trained many of the country’s topnotch writers.

The Manila media were given a glimpse into this year’s series of cultural presentations, through a looking back and looking forward musical, Handulantaw, and a production directed by the late Evelyn Rose Aldecoa, of Broadway’s Stephen Schwarts and John-Michael Tebelak’s Godspell, which demonstrated that imagination, dance and artistry and proper English diction are alive and well in this famous university.

Cristine Coyiuto received her Master of Music degree from the Julliard School as a pupil of Jacob Lateiner.

She was a laureate of the Académie Internationale de Musique “Maurice Ravel” in St. Jean-de-Luz, France, and Genève Conservatoire in Switzerland.

Michael Emery began his musical studies with Alfredo Cavalieri in Albany at the age of 10 and in two years was selected to perform in Carnegie Recital Hall by the Teacher’s Guild of New York. While earning his Master’s degree in Music Performance as a scholarship student at the Manhattan School of Music, Emery studied with the late Erick Friedman and Raphael Bronstein and served as concertmaster of the Manhattan Symphony. Hailed by the late Henryk Szeryng as “a joy to hear,” Michael Emery divides his musical career between performances in the United States and Europe and teaching at Skidmore College, New York, where he is on faculty as Artist-in-Residence.
