velopments KALAHI-CIDSS (Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive Integrated Delivery of Social Service),a program of the government which aims to improve the poor living conditions of the people in the countryside. In a press statement, Major General Gerardo Layug, commander general of the 8th ID, condemned the act of the rebels, involving the civilian workers. It is unfortunate that the NPA is targeting civilians doing community development works which is a clear disregard to Human Rights and violation of International Human Rights and Rule of Law Layug said.

court, I may do so, he said, referring to his fine. As of press time, Ysidoro said that he is still waiting for the advise of his lawyer in which he added that they might file for another motion for reconsideration but was convinced that this is impossible. We might file for another motion for reconsideration, but I dont think its possible because the decision was already from the
Supreme Court, he said. In the 9-page decision of the Supreme Court, it was said that Ysidoro has ignored the guidelines when he approved the distribution of goods. During the interview, Ysidoro admitted that he was not able to inform the Sangguniang Bayan in Leyte, Leyte about the alleged diversion of funds which resulted to his case. However, he is convinced that this is solely part of the political tactics
of his opponents. This is all politics, now all I have to do is to let the people judge about this. I know myself and I have a clean conscience, he added. The decision states that Ysidoros act, no matter how noble or miniscule the amount diverted, constitutes the crime of technical malversation. The law and this Court, however, recognize that his offense is not grave, warranting a mere fine. (ROBERT FRANCISCO)

t 11 oclock in the morning yesterday, the national weather bureau lowered the storm warning signal over Leyte province from Number 2 to Number 1, few hours following Pagasa s hoisting of the typhoon signal from 1 to 2 over this same area and Biliran province. The storm signal over the entire Samar Island was totally lifted. This lowering did not come a surprise if super typhoon Pablo would not alter its track any further. Although a bane to affected provinces, the shift in Pablos track was boon to the people of Eastern Visayas, except Southern Leyte which was nearer to the typhoon track. While the local disaster risk reduction and management councils in the region have started initiating preemptive measures, to say the least
evacuating residents in high risk areas even before this 700 km wide typhoon entered the Philippine area of responsibility in early dawn of Monday, the publics vigilance against the storms negative impact could not be undermined. The media and social networking sites are whooshing with advisories and other similar push messages to alert the people from the harm that the typhoon could cause. As Pagasa has announced super typhoon Pablo is perceived to be the strongest typhoon so far to hit the country this year. It is likened to typhoon Sendong that slammed Mindanao in December last year causing death toll of at least 1,300.

the penitent about the number and the gravity of his falls, necessary for the integrity of the sacrament, is not easy. But how to reassure the penitents that everything will be ok is even a lot less easy. A confessor, I believe, has to combine the qualities of a father, friend, judge and doctor to his penitents. And I understand why a priest, before he hears confession, really has to prepare himself. Thats because in the confessional, he gets to plumb

Rid risks
systems are clogged with solid wastes. Government needs to refocus its efforts towards the establishment of functional drainage systems. Local government units must be compelled to come up with a comprehensive drainage plan that would ensure effective disposal of floodwater at its peak levels during calamities. The need for drainage systems in communities, housing areas, subdivisions and in local government units is of paramount importance to promote public safety and public health. So much cost is being borne by taxpayers as a result of poor drainage. It is good that disaster response had been improved, particularly in the area of risk reduction where people and properties are brought to safety before the onslaught of calamity. But the magnitude of damage brought by calamities could be reduced further if there are adequate infrastructure that are functional, Drainage systems had not been part of local development plans, as projects are often limited to the construction of roads and highways without the necessary drainage systems that will greatly rid risks.

Disaster response had taken a paradigm shift from rescue operations of old to risk reduction strategy at present. This is a proactive stance that puts government efforts at the fore by taking measures that would prevent impending damage to lives and properties that calamities may cause. Evacuation of people and properties that are likely to be hit by calamities are now undertaken before disaster strikes. People are brought to safety at the initial notice of upcoming calamities while advisories are issued to prevent people from going to places where disaster is bound to go. Forecast of calamities serves as guide for people to take precautionary measures aimed at reducing adverse effects that calamities may bring. This reduces the risk that people may fall into if not admonished on what appropriate actions must be taken to avoid disastrous and fatal effects of calamities. Preemptive measures are truly effective than reactive responses given in
the aftermath of calamities. We recall how lives and properties are lost during calamities due to the lack of preparation on the part of government agencies and local government units. The usual actions from government are in the aftermath of calamities when people had already fallen victims of disaster. We have witnessed undue loss of lives and properties mainly because people had not taken proper precautions due to lack of advice and information. But while response to calamities had improved due to the shift in strategies, public infrastructures and facilities are still inadequate to contain adverse effects of calamities. The perennial problem of floods for instance, had not been addressed by government with effective solutions that would mitigate the harmful effects of inundations. Apart from destructions of houses and buildings, roads and highways are cut and become inaccessible. Sludge from drainage canals are carried up to inundated places as drainage

As of late morning yesterday, Pagasa reported that Pablo is packing maximum sustained winds of 160 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 195 kph and has rainfall that amounts from 10 - 20 mm per hour (heavy - intense) within the 500 km diameter of the typhoon. These figures are remarkably smaller than the numbers released by Pagasa before Pablo made a landfall over Baganga, Davao Ori-
ental. The typhoon slightly weakened, according to weather authorities. This and the slight shift in Pablos track placed the region, again except Southern Leyte, in a better condition. Not wishing for tragedy to happen in places that should have been out of Pablos track, the shift in the typhoons direction was a prayer answered. In the occurrence of this natural calamity that is wreaking havoc in practically two-thirds
of the archipelago, two hands are among the most useful parts in a persons body. Two hands clasped in sincere prayer to God Almighty for the safety and protection of the people, especially those who are weak to defend their own selves from natures wrath. Two hands extended in loving care and affection for those who are victims of this calamity, the hands of help to those in need. These are the hands needed amidst this stormy weather.
deep into the hearts and consciences of the people. Things can be known there, but a lot of mystery is involved also, for which a lot of prudence is needed. Obviously he is not there out of curiosity. He has to administer nothing less than divine mercy, the one that can bring back a moribund soul to life again. He definitely needs the grace of God, a good training and tested discipline to go through the process. He has to be all things to all men, as St. Paul once said, because in the confessional he is going to meet all sorts of personalities, from the most delicate soul to the most hardened and treacherous criminal. He should be able to handle everyone well, with Gods mercy, as each penitent deserves to be taken care of. Lets remember that Christ was open to everyone, even to the most vile men who repented. He only had hard words on those who refused to acknowledge his divinity in spite of all the evidence shown. In short, on those who refused to live by faith which is a gift given to all of us. Or on those who are self-righteous. In one episode, he clearly spelled out his attitude of mercy by saying that it is the sick, meaning the sinner, who needs the doctor. Thats why he went with those who were generally considered then as public sinners, a fact that elicited criticism from the leading men of that time. Lets follow the observation of St. Paul who once said that where sin has abounded, the grace of God has abounded even more. Paraphrasing that statement, we can say that no matter how miserable
ing, again in the culture of that time, always or as often as needed. Theres no limit to divine mercy. It might be good to call to mind the example of the repentant thief who managed to be forgiven just before passing away. And the other sinners Mary Magdalene, and all the other characters, including Peter and the rest of the apostles, and the parables of the lost coin, the lost sheep and the prodigal son. Theres hope in Gods mercy always. What we have to avoid nursing our sinfulness by our own selves, relying only on our feelings and estimations, where we will surely get discouraged. We need to go to God. Its his delight to forgive!

JESUS PITY
Jesus was in a distant place but crowds of people came to him bringing their sick relatives and friends like the handicapped, the blind and the lame. He cured them all and the people marveled at this. Jesus had pity not only on the sick and the handicapped but also on their kind relatives who had brought them to him. It was a great effort and sacrifice on their part. Many of the patients had to carried since there was hardly any transportation. Jesus loved them for their generosity and kindness to the sick and he rewarded all of them with the miracle of multiplication of the loaves. With seven loaves, thousands of people were given as much as they wanted and there were seven baskets full of left over fragments. Jesus pity for the sick and his generosity to all the people are models for me. Am I sympathetic to the handicapped? Do I try to understand their difficulties? Do I try to extend any help that I can give to them? (Daily Gospel Now, R. Sullivan, OMI, published by Paulines, visit us at www.paulines.ph or at Paulines Media Center, Real St., Tacloban City, Tel. 321-31-95) Sowers Seeds: Lets no think that love has to be noisy. Love is collecting ones thoughts. The stronger, more unitive and transforming love is, the more it tends to recollection and effectiveness in the works of the apostolate.

Malots city councilor candidate claims Mayor Cari maltreated
BAYBAY CITY I thought she would be only make a beso-beso to me but she held my face with both hands, applied enough force to crumple my face and with anger told me in vernacular, siguraduha lang nga mudaog ka ha? - kay kung dili gukuron ta dyud ka.

This was how Elita Mantajas Datahan narrated to Leyte Samar Daily Express her very surprising sad experience allegedly did to her by the mayor on December 1, around 2:00 oclock in the afternoon at the Bamava Chapel situated in the vicinity of the public market. Baybay City Police blotter entry No.231 dated December 1, contains the complaint of the victim wherein she named Mayor Cari to have allegedly committed such act against her publicly. Complainant who is popularly known as BB Datahan is running for city councilor under the slate of mayoralty candidate Marilou Malot Veloso Galenzoga. Datahan who is the chairman of the meat section of the Baybay Market Vendors Association, further revealed that they were having an activity at the market place, and after the mass at the chapel Mayor Cari reportedly approached here and just did that to her in front of people that, she said, caused her bad pain and almost made her cry. Feeling humiliated of what Cari allegedly did to her, Datahan immediately ran to the police station and have this recorded on blotter for future legal action against the suspect. Galenzoga could not help but react on this incident involving one of her candidate councilors, calling it a desperate act and harassment of her political rival to her group because, she said, numerous group of wom-

as of 9 am on Tuesday the regional office of the Office of Civil Defense. The town is the site of massive mudslide incident in Guiunsaugon which killed up to a thousand of people in 2006. An afternoon report of the regional office of Office of Civil Defense has placed the number of families preemptively evacuated in Southern Leyte towns at 3,000 families. The families were from the towns of Sogod, San Juan, Padre Burgos, Saint Bernard and Limasawa. Pablo was earlier projected to hit Tacloban and the rest of the region but changed its course making a landfall in Davao Oriental. We should be happy that we were spared by the typhoon, Romualdez said. Meantime, as of 10 am yesterday,209 passengers from various seaports in
Southern Leyte and Leyte were stranded. In the port of Hilongos,50 passengers were stranded; another 16 in the port of Bato and 33 others in Liloan port. All the three ports are located in Leyte. While about 105 passengers were stranded in the port of Benit in San Ricardo, Southern Leyte. In the port of Calbayog City, Samar, about 15 passengers from six motor bancas were stranded and 72 others were also stranded in the port of Allen, Northern Samar. The Coast Guard in the region is strictly enforcing the no-sailing policy amid the threat of Pablo to ensure that no sea incident would happen just like in previous times, says John Rey Gopit of the Catbalogan Coast Guard. Elsewhere in the region, some cottages located in a beach resort in the island of Divinobo in Borongan City were destroyed due to the
storm surge, says provincial disaster risk reduction management chief Peregrino Balase. Otherwise, everything is normal in the province, he said. There is no report of evacuation nor any flooding or landslide incidents in any part of the province, Balase, in a phone interview, said. The same is true in Samar which is only experiencing scattered rain shower, Judy Bantulan, provincial director of the Department of Interior and Local Government. But we remain vigilant, he said adding that they have convened their provincial risk reduction management council to monitor the situation in the province. In Northern Samar, the typhoon was hardly felt as there was no suspension of classes and work across the province, a spokersperon of the provincial government Arlene Cui said.
