Sen. legArdA
In light of the devastation wrought by Typhoon Pablo (Bopha) on Visayas and Mindanao recently, Senator Loren Legarda advocated a nationwide information campaign on geohazard maps.
Based on the latest statistics released by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, 1,025 have died and 888 more remain missing, while we have incurred about P15 billion worth of damages due to Typhoon Pablo. These would have been avoided if our local government units and all our citizens had knowledge of geohazard maps, she said. Legarda, UN Regional Champion for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation, said that everyone must have knowledge of their geographical location, and whether they are at high risk or not. During the briefing called by the Committee on Climate Change on the use and implementation of the geohazard maps, the Senator stressed that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources should not only distribute these maps, but also, and more importantly, educate LGUs on how to read the map and how it will help them in their disaster risk reduction and management efforts.

Christmas is a time for joy, peace & giving then what?
By Willie JOSe (Williejose1@gmail.com)
PHL Economy Up
(Atty. APA chairs Acyatan & Co., CPAsDFK International is PICPA past president and Hall-of-Famer, past chair of ASEAN Federation of CPAs, and ACPAPP Lifetime Achievement Awardee).
For most people, Christmas is a season of joy, peace and giving. I dont know why the Christmas spirit is so strong that throughout this holiday season people are becoming more generous and kind; they will move heaven and earth just to be with their families. Never mind if the plane fares are exorbitant, Filipinos will be hell-bent on visiting the Philippines. For overseas Filipinos and other Balikbayan, nothing can stop them from looking forward to spending their Christmas with their families, relatives and friends. How does this Christmas spirit affect the people in general? Last week, my wife and I were at the Scarborough Town Centre, one of the biggest malls in Toronto. We couldnt help noticing the rush of people shoppingand who could resist the 70 % -80 % discount and buy- one, take-one offerings by the various establishments in the mall? Some malls have even extended their shopping hours just to accommodate last-minute shoppers. I dont know how these businesses could cash in on peoples buying splurge and spree; maybe they are just being generous in sharing their blessings to their customers. Possibly, the past months, they have raked in enough profits, so this holiday season is the right time for them to offer huge discount to their loyal customers. Is this what they call responsive capitalism? Most people themselves are also extra generous; At Metro Supermarket close to our home in Scarborough, Ive seen people donating food packages for Torontos Food Banks. Salvation Army volunteers are in some malls and big stores busily manning their donation-dropin stations, accepting contributions from people. In the Philippines, most private companies have already given their employees their Xmas bonuses and even the government is planning to release some extra funds for the state workers. Well, this Christmas holiday is the time of the year when the country flows with milk and honeyand everyone is in high spirit. This holiday season is really a time for peace because traditionally the Communist rebels and the government have been forging a ceasefire agreement, which means that there would be a cessation of hostilities between them even for a few weeks. A respite from battles would give these rebels and the army soldiers a chance to enjoy a worry-free atmosphere with their respective families. In our country, the Christmastime starts in November, so from this period onward, our kababayans are always all-smiles, always greeting everybody Merry Christmas. And when December comes, the prices of prime commodities go sky-high but who cares when the spirit of the season calls for wearing of ones Sundays best and putting the most sumptuous food on the table for the familys Noche Buena and Media Noche. Pinoys would always go the extra miles to buy the best stuffs for their families simply because Its Christmastime, everybody deserves to be happy.

FDI AND CREDIT: We have best evidences that our economy is continually on the rise despite the economic downturns in the major industrial nations (including the USA and Europe). Net foreign investments inflows hit $1.008B just for the month of November. This is a good indicator of the trust that global investors are pouring in on our country. Last month, net money inflows totaled $1.008B. Another bright indicator of our economic upsurge is the big jump in bank loans which undoubtedly will fuel further business activities. Economic advancement is stimulated by recent rounds of monetary policy easing, alongside with the favorable outlook for domestic demand. The outlook is brighter as credit for production activities accounted for the bulk of total loans, growing 16.4% to P2.808 billion. OUTPUT: Production of the manufacturing sector rose by 22.2% in October the biggest increase in the last two years. The increase surpassed the factory output growth of 15.7% established in 2010 (September). Positive contributors are the high outputs of seven of the thirteen major sectors led by footwear and wearing apparel (128.9% increase). The other achievers are electrical machinery, basic metals, food manufacturing, and wood and wood products. The output record is matched by the positive registers in value of net sales,

with the annual increment rising to 7.1% in October, compared with just 3% in September. Increments in sales were posted by footwear and wearing apparel (126.9%), beverages (57%), non-metallic mineral products (51%), electrical machinery (34$) publishing & printing (31%), food manufacturing (11%). Output records mean more workers are now onthe-job. INTEREST: Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is maintaining the historic low interest rates which may persist until mid-year 2013, or just before the midterm elections. If there be any changes, these could be triggered by the results of the national voting as new active leaders may emerge that could trigger policy evolvements. The current BSP policy rates stand at 3.5% for overnight borrowing, and 5.5% for overnight lending. The lower interest rate policy of the Monetary Board will translate to wider financial lending which drives upward
both consumption and investments. Financial leaders are looking at money supply level in relation to inflation rate. The current economic state resulted in the higher than expected growth rate of 7.1% for October, raising the year-todate growth to 6.5%. What is remarkable here is with the growth, inflation rate was held at just 3.2%. TAXATION: The Gospel for today makes special mention of the advisory to taxmen to collect just the right amount without any wang-wang. We reiterate here the findings of Opinions Unlimited that the Office of BIR Commissioner Kim Jacinto Henares is corruption-free. The Tuwid na Daan call of our President is keenly observed at the highest echelon of the internal revenue bureau. We also know that our friend the BIR Director of Makati Region is promoting clean governance! Honesty at the top is the prime key to good governance. Pres. P-Noy may have many shortcomings, (including smoking?) but so far- nobody has directly accused him of dishonesty in any government deal (unlike that of the previous regime). The systemic graft in the BIR (which I personally witnessed) may take time to be cleansed. But first our taxpayers must file correct returns and pay the right amount of taxes. CPAs must help all reformed taxpayers to rightfully comply. Amen! WISDOM: When the righteous thrives the people rejoice. When the wicked rules, the citizens groan!

last Sunday from the hands of Mexicos Manuel Marquez as unthinkable but not me. I watched their previous fights on TV with my husband and to me it was a close fight of these two boxers. Because I remember what happened to Mohammad Ali, the popular heavy weight champion of the world who was knocked out by a lucky punch of Sonny Liston, I thought it can also happen to Pacquiao. Manny was even defeated by Timothy Bradley in a previous fight to this. But all the while, I was rooting for him because he is our countryman and he has brought honor not only to himself but also to our country. I was not happy with the result.
Pacquiao lost the fight but he earned $2.5 million dollars or P400 million pesos for it. He is still the Pambansang Kamao who has eight world titles which no other boxer has. There are people reportedly urging him to fight Marquez or Bradley again to recover from his defeats. But what if he loses again? His mother Dionisia Pacquiao reportedly said, Thats what he gets for changing religion. Her son, Manny Pacquiao, had been losing sleep because of night Bible studies with Protestant pastors. He has not focused on his boxing. They always pray with Manny losing sleep. I hope he will listen to me when he returns and be a Catholic again. The Daily Tribune reported they are not Protestants but Christian Bible Fundamentalists. The Catholic church is practicing ecumenism. I dont want to comment on Pacquiaos new religion but his mother has a point. Losing sleep makes one weak. A boxer needs to be strong. Thats what Juan Manuel Marquez focused on: to be strong because he knows Pacquiao will knock him out. I only observed that when Pacquiao was a Catholic,

Pleasurable journey
There is nothing more pleasurable than taking a trip back to the old birthplace. For me, it is an obsession, a yearning. But even if I can not make the journey in person, I can go there on the wings of imagination. Romantic, is it not? This Christmas, I promise myself I will do it to bring back a part of me, a part which refuses to grow old. It is a trip back to my old home. That home was in the Caramoan barrio of Paniman with Lolo Eleno and Lola Anis, an impoverished home of marginal fishermen but a home filled with love. It, however, vanished when they both died. Our house became empty. Eventually, it was torn down. But the memories remain within me. Paniman is now a tourist haven, a far cry from the day of my childhood. The whole year particularly during summer, droves of foreign tourists come to the barrio and stay there for days. They love

its exotic atmosphere. Many years ago, nobody had a hint that the barrio, two kilometers north of the world famous Gota Beach,would become a playground for European and American tourists seeking far off places. Tourism has completely changed the sleepy image. It is now prosperous. Aircon hotels have sprouted. The highway connecting it to the town proper has been
paved. Despite the trappings of progress, to me, Paniman is still the same old place, the place of my childhood home. Where the house of Lolo Eleno and Lola Anis once stood is unrecognizable. Another house has been built there. The chapel, the school house, the rock mountain back of the chapel seem to be different. Perhaps because of my long absence, they looked unfamiliar. They, however, remind of the years when grandparents were still alive, when my uncles and an aunt were around. I am the only surviving member of the family of my Lolo. But wait, I have a cousin, David Delloro who transferred to Polillo Island, in Quezon province many years ago. I have not heard from him for 30 years. Another cousin, the daughter of Aunt Felicidad, my mothers younger sister,

Breathe life into a Party
This is the season of parties. Christmas is not Christmas without parties. There are parties just about everywhere. But sometimes parties are just too boring you regretted having attended at all. You felt like you just wasted your timeyour new dress, your best make up, the gift for exchange which got a lot of your time choosing the best. And the party was boring really. It was, in fact, some kind of a hell. What went wrong? Everything. The food, the music, everyone. But parties can be exciting. It could be one great evening of fun. It takes a lot to make a party enjoyable. Of course, you can not expect a perfect party. But you can have one good party one that is full of life and it is something you wouldnt want to last. And memories of the party are yours to treasure. Vital to a party is food. Food need not necessarily be very expensive. Just delicious. One that everyone would devour with gusto. And of course, the drinks. They are necessary. Whether you care for soda or beer or hard, there ought to be drinks. But they should not be the reason to get drunk. Music is very important. It is that which makes the party alive. Music played must be well chosen. It would be wise to have some Christmas carols (it is Christmas!) and they could give meaning and spirit to the season. Since ballroom is very common nowadays, then select good danceable tunes. It takes a good host to make a party interesting. He must be versatile and knows how to stay attuned to everything. Normally, Christmas parties are not without exchange gifts. Gifts for exchange must really be chosen with care. A raffle draw will likewise be just fine and very interesting. Attractive items must be raffled. Maybe a round trip ticket to Boracay or Palawan might be yours. It might be your lucky night. Just hope it will be a trip for two. (for only one, God forbid. You will not enjoy it surely). But, the ticket may be convertible to cash. Christmas parties are not without games. There are many new games and very exciting too. Not the old Trip to Jerusalem (this is already outmoded.) The games should be played fast and prizes should be attractive. This could also be the chance for people who do not know one another to get to know one another. A contest in dancing might also be done. Or singing out of tune. This is novel and many may want to join the contest if only for fun. Christmas parties, no matter how enjoyable they are, must bring home happy memories. The party could end with a collective singing of a favorite or popular Christmas carol after which everyone greets everyone with the best greetings of the season and keep alive the spirit of that one night when a baby was born in a manger and he did not have a crib for a bed.

A teacher
A good teacher must know how to adapt well to his surroundings and be flexible enough to deal with different kinds of students. A teacher should determine what teaching strategy that will maximize the ability and skills of each of the student to obtain understanding and leanings. Teaching can be difficult at times as it requires a lot of patience, perseverance and persistence to withstand and overcome various factors and elements that hinders the learning process. Time management should also present in the work plan of every teacher, since it helps in using available resources and energy with achieving the desired results. Teachers inculcate values in order to make them well-rounded and refined with their dealings inside the school, on their homes and later on their respective work environment. Teaching job is not a joke for it is dignified and equips an individual especially the youths, the necessary knowledge, wisdom and skills that will later make them responsible and productive citizens of our society. Thus, teachers are unsung heroes since they build a strong nation by virtue of making globally competitive workforce that can get the job done in various fields of endeavors.

his life became a from rags to riches story. I hope he will also remember this. We know that boxers can die fighting in the ring. There are boxers who got their brain damaged after being badly boxed on the head. Mohammad Ali is one. If he can advise Pacquiao, Ill tell him to quit boxing and not to risk anymore. He is super rich now with eight world titles. As Julie Y. Daza wrote in the Tempo dated December 11, 2012 refering to Pacquiao as fast, strong but aging like the rest of us, by the hour, by the day.

to promote the viability of their growth as instruments for equity, social justice and economic development. The DAR and the CDA will also provide technical assistance to newly organized cooperatives to help them prepare the documents required to register with the CDA, which assists cooperatives improve their operations and preserve and build up their capital. De los Reyes said the project is in line with the DARs continuing efforts to implement programs and provide services that will improve the quality of lives of farmerbeneficiaries. This project is in response to the clamor of ARB cooperatives for government to assist them in their re-registration, a critical starting point for their farm business engagements. Moreover, as partners between agencies and grassroots organizations, this project is also an innovation on convergence initiatives, de los Reyes said. The DAR chief added that the signing of the agreement would help develop strong and stable cooperatives to harness economic and social opportunities and help them cope up with the challenges. By doing so, they will be able to better serve their members and contribute to improving the quality of life of our ARBs, their households and rural women, De los Reyes explained. The agreement is the latest in a series of programs langui. He noted that public campaign and intervention to control the spread of these diseases, resulted to the decrease of the number of six in 2009 and no new cases reported this year.

A Man of character
by JOey M. zAMOrA
One of the secrets of success is possessing a genuine character. Your character is what makes you uniquely you. And character plays the most important role in your day to day existence. A good character has been validated by your commitment and sincerity in performing the work with an electrifying energy even without supervision from your superior. Accept wholeheartedly the added tasks and performed them even beyond the required period of time without expecting rewards in return from the company. If you were such, surely you are badly needed by any of the private and public business companies and enterprises of the entire country or all over the world. As your getting mature for whatever endeavor you learn much in your relationship with people with whom you work in solving complex problems and in sometimes seeing your ideas put to work and value them so much like a treasure of diamonds or a masterpiece of an award winning artist. The character with which you approach all your tasks eventually shapes your individual style and determine your career success or failure. To reach excellence you must be a man of good, strong and honorable character. eXtrAJUdiciAl SettleMeNt OF eStAte With SAle Notice is hereby given that the named parties are the legitimate children and the surviving heirs of the late Spouses lOreNzO c. rOSAleS and SAlVAciON MArgAllO rOSAleS, who died on July 25, 2002 and October 3, 3003, respectively both in Naga City, Camarines Sur, without any WILL or TESTAMENT and with no known debts, left a parcel of land situated at Concepcion Pequea, Naga City with OCT No. 265, that the parties adjudicate among themselves the described property; that for and in consideration of the sum of SEVEN MILLION pesos (Php7,000,000.00) in hand paid by Sps.

a question oF . . .
is in Laguna. She is a retired district supervisor. Her younger sister, Sonia, is in Naga City. There is another, Panio Delloro, the son of Uncle Santos, a trader in Metro Manila. I have taken roots in Legazpi City. It is where fate has taken me after my years of wandering in search of adventure and a place under the sun. Legazpi is my new home. My retired teacher wife keeps house for me. In the absence of my two boys who are both abroad, the house is only half full. However, when my two grandsons, Vincent and Renzo, come for a visit, the house is full with their laughter. My two grandaughters, the twin Kate and Sophie, who are in the Middle East, come home every two years. When I was in Paniman about a year ago with my high school pal, businessman Kekoy San Pablo, I sought out another old friend, Badong Alarcon. I found him at home. He looked much older. We talked of old times. He was a cashier at a gas station a little distance from where I worked as a cashier. I regularly walked to his station when I was not busy, It was my way of fighting homesickness. Kekoy who was vice mayor of Caramoan years ago is my best friend since high school. In July, 20l3, Kekoy and his wife, Mely, will mark their 50th wedding anniversary in Caramoan with a renewal of marriage vows. He has asked me to be one of the wedding sponsors. I could not say no. When they were married in Garchitorena many years ago, Kekoy invited me. I failed to attend. I do not want to miss the rare chance to see my best friend wed again after 50 blissful years . Although the old home is no longer there, the people I once knew in my youth are very much around, enough reason for me to make the journey back..
