Only 30 of the 149 LGUs in EV have institionalized PESO

TACLOBAN CITY - Only 30 of the 149 local government units here in the region have Institutionalized Public Employment Service Oce (PESO), a unit in the local area tasked to address employment-related concerns.
In a meeting with local chief executives Tuesday, the Department of Labor and Employment said that e orts to establish PESO are moving slowly, although some governors and mayors have already designated PESO managers. A PESO is institutionalized if its creation is by virtue of sanggunian resolution or an ordinance provided with regular plantilla positions and funds, said DOLE assistant regional director Cyril Ticao. Ticao said there are some local employment o ces in the region through a memorandum of agreement with their o ce but some are not really performing the basic their functions. Norman Victor Ordiz, president of PESO Managers Association of Eastern Visayas, said that for many employment o ces, their functions have been con ned on the implementation of Special Program for the Employment of Students. Of the 166 o ces in the region, to include those established by schools and non-government organizations, only 77 of them are actually performing their basic functions, Ordiz said. DOLE records show that among six provincial governments, only Southern Leyte and Biliran had employment o ices. In Leyte, only Tacloban City, Barugo, Dulag, MacArthur, Isabel, Palompon, Hindang had established PESO out of 43 cities and towns. In Southern Leyte, these towns are Saint Bernard, Silago, Hinundayan and Padre Burgos. e remaining have no institutionalized PESO. to page 7

Sevilla narrated that what actually encouraged him to install the CCTV in their village was due to an incident on November last year wherein the barangay-owned two mountain bike units were stolen. e mountain bikes were being used by the three village watchmen

(tanod members) during their night duties. We bought the mountain bikes last November but these were stolen inside our barangay hall on December 16 last year, Sevilla. According to him, he proposed for the barangay to buy the CCTV during their barangay assembly which immediately generated positive response from the barangay residents. e CCTV really helps in our campaign against criminality not only here in our village but even those from other barangays because Luntad has become a sort of a short cut in going to other points in Palo, Sevilla said.(JOEY A.

PALO, Leyte Trading price of commercial rice has signi cantly increased in the region but the government sad the situation is still normal this o -harvest months. Records from the National Food Authority (NFA) show that prevailing price of well milled rice rose to P40.33 per kilogram as of August 31, up than the P37.48 price in July and P35.60 in June this year. NFA regional information o cer Mary Agnes Militante said theres nothing to worry about since July to September is considered lean months, hence, there are less rice stocks in commercial warehouses. Militante said average retail price of well-milled rice has been consistently increasing in the past three months. Regular milled rice is cheaper at P36.83 per kilogram based on NFA regular price monitoring report but it has been increasing from P32.33 recorded in June. Stocks of rice in NFA warehouses is substantial but our sales is still calibrated since the price of regular milled rice is still below the P40 per kilogram, Militante said. As of August 31, there are 390,962 bags of NFA rice. It will last for 68 days based on the 5,721 average daily sales. NFA sales rice at P27 per kilogram. But for Ma. Eliza Pita, a rice retailer in a public market in Tanauan, Leyte, recent price adjustments is

abnormal considering the signi cant jump buoyed by supply shortage. In June we can store up to 100 bags of rice but now traders would only allow us to procure 20 to 30 bags in every purchase, Pita said adding that an average buying price per sack is already P2,100 from only P1,200 to P1,500 early this year. Pita believed traders are hoarding staple food to create a scenario of arti cial shortage but NFA denied theres such practice since they have been regularly inspecting commercial rice warehouses. Prevailing prices in Tanauan public market of both regular milled and well milled rice ranged from P39 to P50 per kilogram. e impact recent of staple food price increase is more severe among poor families, where cost of buying rice eats up to 50% of their daily income. Joven Caonas, a 28-yearold pedicab driver from Barangay Baras of this town said that between May and June, price was still normal at P32 to P35 per kilogram. Recently, it went up to P50 per kilogram in our barangay. I now spent P100 of my P200 daily income for rice. ere are many times that we just ate rice and lawlaw( sh paste) or cheap vegetables, said Caonas, a father of three children. Lawlaw is a mbriated sardine buried and preserved in salt, commonly eaten by impoverished families who have no other alternative to enhance the taste rice. Department of Agri-

The power to destroy

he very conventional notion is that money is the root of all evil. That may be true but taking a very hard look at it, it is the implement by which money is earned and generated that ought to be blamed for the greed that is bred in the hearts of the likes of Napoles. It is taxation that is the real culprit but money seems to be taking all the blame. Taxation, to be sure, is a power that belongs to a state. Like the police power and the power of eminent domain, taxation is inherent in every state, i.e. the power exists by the fact alone that a state exists. Hence, the power need not be expressly conferred to a state in its laws, not even the most fundamental. Whether or not there is express conferment of that power, a state may exercise the power of taxation. The principle behind the power is that it has the end of exacting contributions from a states citizens to be used for the betterment

of the state itself. For a particular exercise of that power to be valid, it need not be shown that those who contribute, technically termed as taxpayers, will actually receive something tangible in return from the government to whom the contribution is made. It is enough that they are bound to benet from any improvement in the services that the government offers brought about by their contributions. From all these hullabaloos on the pork barrel and how money paid out by the people as taxes have been dissipated for the benet of an undeserved few, it is not too ironic to realize that the power of taxation has sometime ago been referred to as the power to destroy. But the reason before for such unfair nomenclature has never been made clearer and more elaborate until the recent mishap on the pork barrel. It has indeed destroyed us a thousand and one ways.

Were not almost there yet in Noynoys tuwid na daan goal

Were not almost there yet in Noynoys tuwid na daan goal The road to ending corruption in the Philippines, truly falling under the tuwid na daan banner goal of President Benigno Noynoy Aquino, has already stretched, would we say, about one-fourth of its intention, as the Noynoy Administration gears up to complete its fourth year of genuine public service. Last year, the whole world saw the ouster of impeached chief justice Renato Corona (by the way, he will turn 65 by October 15, being born in 1948). Then the whip was cracked on some money-generating government agencies, with radical changes going on up to press time. And then this year, all heads turned as the will also come to light. Because of her, the plunder cases will move fast. There are more and more corruption events in the Philippines that have yet to be vigorously investigated, and most of them, taken severally and on the aggregate, continue up to now at the barrio level. The government needs more honest and competent lawyers and prosecutors to unravel them and pursue cases against the thieves of government funds. That being the case, more individual taxpayers, in their own right, must voluntarily come out in the open, to reveal those events and file charges. At the same time, the government must now adopt and implement a reward system to accommodate and satisfy, not

pork barrel scam continued to hog the headlines. This last discovery, however, will not yet conclude with the incarceration of Janet Lim Napoles whose being in detention has a remote, but indirect, relation to the piles of scam, for the scam remains to lead to other cans of worms in which JLN is seen by many as the lock and key to their final opening. That being the case, the govern-

ment must do everything to keep her alive and unharmed. There is no special treatment accorded to JLN, as some prefer to imagine. The nation must understand, JLN is herself the evidence and proof. From her, all other events leading to the scam and the resultant plunders of government funds will come out with final clarity. From her, all other personalities who profited from the scam

just encourage, legitimate volunteer complainants. It is not enough that only the lot of whistleblowers be attended to. There are many more among the Filipino citizens who have personal knowledge about those instances of corruption or events leading to corruption. The tuwid na daan can have more teeth, to be effective, efficacious and effectual, if it looks beyond just extending security or protection to the lives of whistleblowers and volunteer complainants as well as their immediate families. Further to that beyond, tuwid na daan must now also look forward to their future in the next five to six years. This period of time can mean that indeed the government is bent on institutionalizing its anti-corruption and freecorruption-Philippines campaigns. As of date, that is much absent, hence, many are still reluctant. Corruption begets deaths (not just one death) to preserve itself. Short of plunder case recitals, the crime of malversation (whether technically, or by direct action, or by indirect participation, including assumed negligence) may come earlier. Article 217 of the Revised Penal Code (Codigo Penal, as it was known since the Spanish regime in the Philippines) may provide they key to that. Article 217, as amended by Republic Act No. 1060 (approved on June 12, 1954), is found in Chapter Four - MALVERSATION OF PUBLIC FUNDS OR PROPERTY of the Revised Penal Code. It provides as follows: Article 217. Malversation of public funds or property; Presumption of malversation. - Any public officer who, by reason of the duties of his office, is accountable for public funds or property, shall appropriate the same or shall take or misappropriate or shall consent, through abandonment or negligence, shall permit any other person to take such public funds, or property, wholly or partially, or shall otherwise be guilty of the misappropriation or malversation of such funds or property, shall suffer: 1.

THE GOOD NEWS IS UNIVERSAL

After he left the synagogue, Jesus entered the house of Simon. Simons mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them. At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He laid his hands on each of them and cured them. And demons also came out from many, shouting, You are the Son of God. But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Messiah. At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them. But he said to them, To the other towns also I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this purpose I have been sent. And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

Partly a victim
Had they not made her do so, she would not be able to access to the taxpayers hard-earned money, try as she would. But they did, in exchange for a share of PDAF, which they could not just pocket directly as the funds have to be invested in projects that could benefit the people. The real culprits then are those corrupt lawmakers who, out of greediness, had partnered with her, knowing that it is she who could make their anomalous dreams come true. They just used Napoles, in a way the victim, and rained her with money that, in the process, will return to them, albeit sliced already of the part that belonged to her. The more greedy lawmakers flocked to her, the bigger money she got, and that explains her unthinkable hoard of wealth. On her part, Napoles was merely a recipient of what corrupt lawmakers were willing to give away if only to get the portion that they wanted. They came to her, in increasing number, having learned that, by in-

SEEDS OF RIPE CORN

During World War II, members of a London congregation decorated their church with stalks of ripe corn for a harvest liturgy. That night, the church was destroyed in bombing raid. All that winter it lay in ruins. When spring came, green sprouts emerged from the churchs rubble. All summer long, the sprouts grew. When fall came, the churchs congregation reaped a remarkable harvest of corn. The Gospel is like those seeds of ripe corn. Nothing can keep it from bearing fruit, but there are two conditions. For the Gospel to bear fruit, it has to e lived as well as to be announced, in fact, the Gospel (Col 1:5) St. Paul refers to, was also called living tradition, that is, it was the Good News heard and lived, remembered and celebrated. Jesus himself is seen in todays Gospel, preaching in the synagogues of Judea (Lk 4:44) and laying his hands (v.40) on all the sick and curing them. Preaching is a responsibility of every Christian. If a Christian is not called to preach, then he or she is called to send other Christians to do so. Likewise witnessing to what is preached, is of equal responsibility, if not a greater one. In fact, a good example, is the best sermon. Precepts may lead, but examples draw. (His Word for Today by Vima Dasan, S.J., published by Paulines. Visit us at www.paulines.ph or at Paulines Media Center, Real St. , Tacloban City Tel. #321-3195) Sowers seeds: Let yourself be attracted by the Lord: There is no force more powerful than the Lord to attract our hearts to him. If we dont have other attachments, the soul goes directly to the embrace of God. Let us break our attachments. Blessed James Alberione, Founder of the Pauline Family

Everyone looks at her now as the most despicable person in the country. People hate her much that, given a chance, they would perhaps crush her into pieces. The least that they are itching to do with her is to punch her on the nose, pull her hair, or kick her in the belly. Thats how Janet Lim Napoles is presently regarded. But while most people single her out as the prime culprit in the alleged 10-billion-peso pork barrel scam, she could also be a victim for being the perfect person for the job. Yes, the problem with her is that, she possessed all the necessary qualifications that the real culprits were looking forshrewd, greedy, genius in cheating, business minded and, most of all, quick to return percentage

commissions from allotted pork barrel funds. Having had numerous lawmaker-investors in her bogus NGOs, however, she ended up the riches of them all. Those who thought they were smart enough to be able to use her turned out to be the outsmarted. That made Napoles the most wanted of allshe got the lions share of the pork. Imagine her having bank accounts totaling more than four hundred; and its just in the Philippines. Outside, in the United States in particular, she also has bank accounts. And who knows where else did she deposit her overflowing riches! We could not really blame her singlehandedly for having siphoned the peoples money into her bank accounts. Some people allowed her to do it.

vesting their PDAF in her NGOs, they could pocket a big portion of it, with necessary papers for liquidation purposes. All that Napoles had to do was to keep on organizing more and more NGOs, even running out of names that would act as officials. No wonder even her housemaids became presidents and managers of said NGOs. Who could blame her for that when she was just responding to the growing demand from the House of Representatives and the Senate? Before blaming her for all this, do blame her clients likewise, for it is they who hired her for that loathsome partnership.
