DSWD allocates P68-M for cashfor-work program in Borongan

BORONGAN CITY-Some 17,547 individuals from the 61 barangays of this
city who were affected by typhoon Ruby
are expected to benefit from the cash-forbuilding livelihood assets (CBLA) under
the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD).
Initially, five barangays have started
to implement the project. These are Barangays Sohotan, Bayubay, San Gabriel,
Maybacong and San Pablo.
CBLA is a strategy to help affected
communities restore damaged physical
and natural assets to rebuild their livelihoods.
DSWD Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman said that this initiative will
help beneficiaries achieve a sense of normalcy in their daily lives as they have a
source of income, while the government
prepares to implement more sustainable
recovery and rehabilitation projects for
them.
DSWD has allotted more than P68 million for CBLA implementation in the city.
Under the project, beneficiaries are engaged in the repair of small infrastructure facilities, dredging of canals, and in the clean
up of rivers.
They will be receiving P260 per day or a
total of P3,900 for a maximum period of 15
days.
On Monday, the city conducted the second community assembly to determine the
next set of five barangays which will be recipients of the CBLA and the activities that
will be undertaken.
Eligible to participate in the program is
any member of an affected family, a duly
resident of the affected barangay, in good
physical and mental condition, and at least
18 years old.
Only one family member is allowed to
be part of this income generating venture.

Easter Samar Bulletin
P1.6-B anti-poverty
program for E. V
The Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) is eyeing to get P1.6
billion funds for poor communities in Eastern
Visayas this year under a new foreign-funded
anti-poverty project.
Dubbed as the National Community-Driven Development Program (NCDDP),
the initiative covers 136 towns in the region
with 115 categorized as poor areas devastated
by supertyphoon Yolanda.
Eubolo Co, regional deputy program manager of the Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan
Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of
Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS) - NCDDP,
said that funds are expected to be downloaded within this year after the deployment of
community workers.
Each of the 136 towns gets a budget support of P2 million to P20 million for the implementation of community empowerment
activities and anti-poverty infrastructure
projects. The amount per area depends on
towns population.
Projects include water system, school
buildings, health stations, day care centers,
electrification, foot bridges, pathways, access roads, community production, common service facilities, harvest facilities,
irrigation systems, flood control system,
sea walls, artificial reef sanctuaries, soil
protection, and skills training and capability building.
We are targeting more releases this
quarter since its not anymore disaster
response if its too delayed although fund
availability is not within our control, Co
told reporters.
The government had already released
budget under the project but the amount
was not very significant, according to

Eastern Visayas, one of the poorest regions in the country, gets at least P4.2 billion from the P49.3 billion NCDDP funds.
The outlay is largely funded by loans from

Dealing with our

problems
WE will always have difficulties in life. They are unavoidable. They come with the limitations of our human
nature and aggravated by its condition of woundedness.
Usually they come as small disappointments and frustrations, little failures and setbacks we meet everyday. All of
them, more or less, manageable.
But they can also be big ones that can plunge us into
deep, long-running crises of fear, anger, anxiety, hatred
and despair. Cases of unsolvable predicaments, at least,
humanly speaking.
We have to be ready for them and know not only how
to deal with them but also how to derive something good
from them. In these instances of the hard predicaments,
for example, when we seem to be at a loss as to what to do,
we should just see at what God does, after we have done all
things possible to solve our problems.
We need to trust in Gods providence and mercy. We
have to learn to live a spirit of abandonment in the hands
of God. Yes, if we have faith in God, in his wisdom and
mercy, in his unfailing love for us, we know that everything
will always work out for the good. If we are with God, we
can always dominate whatever suffering can come our way
in the same manner that Christ absorbed all his passion
and death on the cross.
Lets always remember that God, in his ineffable ways,
can also talk to us through these crosses. In fact, he can
convey precious messages and lessons through them. It
would be good that we have a theological attitude toward
them, and be wary of our tendency to react to them in a
purely human way, based only on our senses and feelings
and on worldly trends.
We have to be quick to discern what God is telling us
through them. Lets be quick to see in these problems golden opportunities to receive more graces and other blessings from God. These graces and blessings can deepen
our love for God and neighbor, enrich our understanding
of things, occasion the birth and development of virtues.
They can truly do us a lot of good.
Thus, people who know how to suffer, bearing their
suffering with Christ, are effective in conveying to us sublime and divine messages. They are the most credible people who can surprise us with their deep insights and understanding of our life and the world in general.
This was what Pope Francis intuited when he saw thousands of people who withstood the rains and wind, the under and tiredness just to be with him during his pastoral
visit to our country. The sight was so powerful that he was
convinced, according to him, that God was telling him
something important.
On this, St. Paul has something interesting and relevant to say. In everything, God works for good with those
who love himIf God is for us, who is against us? He who
did not spare his own Son but have him up for us all, will
he not give us all things with him? (Rom 8,28ff)
It would be good if we have this conviction in our mind
and heart so as to avoid getting unnecessarily bothered
by our problems. Instead, we should see in them opportunities rather than problems, blessings rather than misfortunes. And so we would be filled with confidence and
serenity, hope and optimism.
With this mind, we can easily be patient, knowing how
to unite our sufferings with the redemptive passion and
death of Christ. Our problems acquire great meaning, and
can strike us as something to welcome and to be thankful
for, not something to run away from.
With this attitude toward our predicaments, we can
easily move on, without getting unduly entangled by them.
We can easily ride them out, never mind what effects and
consequences they may have in the other aspects of our
life.
Breach of rules
Forty-four members of the Philippine National Police - Special Action Force perished in
an eleven-hour cross fire with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in Mamasapano, Maguindanao. As expected, top honchos of the PNP
much less officials in Malacaang Palace denied having anything to do with the police entry into what is reported as camp of the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front. Wash hands is how
this gesture of the bigwigs can aptly be called,
but the people who could simply surmise what
must have actually happened cannot help but
pass the blame on those in the higher echelon
of the PNP.
Too many theories surmounted, too many
angles of these stories to consider, but none
as yet could prove the real happening. The
eyewitness account is so far the best evidence
to attest the veracity of these assertions. Circumstancial evidences can buttress these accounts to make them even more convincing
and infallible. Definitely, the truth will come out,
unless supressed by an invincible force or influence.
Was there really a breach of rules that resulted in the long battle? Was there a breach
of protocol alleging a lack of coordination or
treachery in either side? Was there a breach
of the unwritten agreement to reapect each
Our problems can actually lead us to live our life with
God, which is what proper to us. Understood in this way,
our problems are actually Gods blessings for us. No wonder, saints and holy men and women through the ages have
considered the cross as something lovable, not hateful.
We certainly have to make some adjustments in our
understanding and attitude towards our unavoidable problems. Our attitude towards them should go beyond what
our senses, feelings and our other human powers can handle. We have to allow Gods ways to work in our life.
There we will see the beauty of the cross, for which
Christ was sent to us!
others territory and that any surprise attack

will be dealth with no mercy? Whatever the answer is one thing is definite - breach of peace.
Maguindanao is still reverberating the popularity as site of a massacre that wasted the
lives and dreams of 59 innocent souls, largely newsmen. The gory and strongly detedtable killing that happenef in Shariff Aguak this
province in November 2009 remains fresh in
peoples mind. Now this incident in Masasapano town, this province, that shocked humanity
anew. The PNP-SAF men, almost a battallion,
were pushed into what analysts call a killing
zone - right in the crossfire between the MILF
and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters. The victims ended like sacrificial.lambs
just to push some kind of cause that hopefullynis now laced with ulterior motives.
Their death should not be laid to waste. All
those who erred should have their heads axed
and roll, not physically though. The truth must
come out and those responsible for this unimaginable bloody incident should be made to
answer for their follies.

classrooms in E. Samar school

accommodate 50 students, is equipped
with tables, chairs, electric fans, blackboards, reading materials like books, encyclopedia and other learning materials.
Atayde added that they chose PCMNHS as beneficiary of their first set of classrooms in Eastern Samar because it is one
of those schools in the said province badly
damaged by supertyphoon Yolanda.
During the turnover ceremony, Atayde

said that the school officials, teachers and
students were very, very happy when
they saw their new classrooms including
the library and cultural center named as
Center for Korea Culture.
She said that while the schools location is within the so-called no build zone,
the classrooms were built at the elevated
portion of the school compound.
The classrooms, aside from being
learning spaces, will also serve as evacuation center during a natural calamity like
flooding or typhoon.
Atayde emphasized that the classrooms they built at the PCMNHS in Hernani was the first that the SM Foundation
constructed in Eastern Samar.
She also said that five students from
the school will be granted scholarship for
college.
The SM Foundation has so far constructed 40 classrooms in areas hit by
Yolanda such as Cebu, Capiz, Aklan,
Tanauan (Leyte) and Tacloban City.
Next month, the foundation is set to
turn over classrooms in Tanauan and Tacloban. (RYAN GABRIEL LLOSA RANI

Operations
Office Secretary Herminio
Coloma Jr. Said in a radio
interview.
Coloma asked Filipinos to support the ongoing
peace efforts to eventually
achieve an enduring peace
in Mindanao.
There is no way but
through dialogue to ensure
a more stable Mindanao, he
said adding decades of war
has not made the region

stable and progressive.
Kaya mainam po siguro ang pagtalima natin
doon sa panawagan na give
peace a chance. Magkaisa
po tayo sa layuning matamo ito habang ipinupursigi
po natin ang paggawad ng
katarungan at pagpapanagot sa mga naganap sa Maguindanao noong nakaraang
linggo.
Army exhumed skeletons

believed to be victims
of NPA purging in 1980s
MACARTHUR, Leyte
After 30 years of searching, 43-year-old Bartolome
Custodio found the remains of his father Lolieto
in a shallow grave discovered on the outskirts of
Barangay San Vicente, this
town, on January 23.
They forcibly took my
father to go with them because the rebels believed
that he was involved in
military intelligence, Custodio recalled. He was 13
years old when the abduction happened.
Based on his recollection, the armed group, believed to be members of the
New Peoples Army, took
his father, who was then
38 years old, while collecting copra in Brgy. Mag-aso,
Lapaz town.
In a shallow grave in the
middle of coconut and abaca plantation, the Philippine Army and Philippine
National Police exhumed
the skeleton of the elder
Custodio with his feet still
tied and with a piece of
cloth wrapped in his skull.
Few meters away, authorities also unearthed
the remains of Necostrates
Novio from San Antonio
village of this town.
Novios son Reynaldo,
59 broke into tears when he
saw the same shirt worn by
his father at the time of his
abduction in August 1984.
Reynaldo recalled that
his father was abducted
while hiking to a nearby
village to join a fiesta cel-
ebration more than three

decades ago.
I know that remains
belong to my father. Its
the same shirt and pants
he wore when I last saw
him. We have been searching for him for 30 years.
We even joined CAFGU
(Citizen Armed Force
Geographical Unit) so we
could easily find him, he
told reporters.
Sr. Insp. John Ilao, Philippine National Police regional medico legal officer,
said they will conduct an
autopsy to find out the real
cause of deaths of Novio
and Custodio.
We will conduct a
thorough
investigation
On Saturday, the United Nations in the Philippines said it will extend a

UN Peace Building Fund to
support various aspects of
the peace process as it looks
forward for more progress
through the combined efforts of all parties involved.
With regards to the po-
licemen who were killed

in Maguindanao, Coloma
said the public should include in their prayers the
44 SAF men who gave their
lives for the sake of freedom
and safety of communities.
The public could give the
policemen a fitting tribute
for their sacrifices through
prayers, he said adding that
they must also pray for their

families to help strengthen
them in this difficult time.
The government vowed
to extend assistance to the
families of the SAF men
through livelihood programs, educational grants
and
housing
benefits.

GPH, MILF committed to pursue peace in

the wake of the Mamasapano incident
-- The Government Peace Panel and the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) on Saturday committed to continue to work for peace in the wake of the tragic Mamasapano
incident that killed 44 Special Action Force Commandos on
a law enforcement operation.
GPH chief negotiator Miriam Coronel-Ferrer during a
press conference in Kuala Lumpur Saturday said that they
wanted this tragic incident to be the last in the difficult
journey to peace in Mindanano and the country.
She said that both the GPH and the MILF peace panels
are exerting all efforts to pursue the road to peace with our
brothers and sisters in Mindanao.
Ferrer said the GPH and the MILF peace panels have
agreed to undertake specific actions as part of their confidence-building measures, to wit:
1. Begin preparations for the turning in of the first set of
MILF weapons which will signal the start of the decommissioning process laid out in the Annex on Normalization as
Phase 1. This will be done with the help of the Independent
Decommissioning Body (IDB) and other security mechanisms,
2. Hold within this month a joint security assessment
of the situation that will address criminality and terrorism,
with the end in view of enhancing the security cooperation
between the GPH and the MILF.
3. Continue with the investigations. The International
Monitoring Team (IMT) has already announced the conduct of its own official field verification mission.
She added that last January 22 (three days before the
fateful events in Mamasapano), MILF Chair Ebrahim Murad already personally handed over the list of 75 weapons
(20 crewserved, 55 high-powered arms), including their
make and serial numbers, to IDB Chair Turkish Ambassador Haydar Berk and the rest of the members of the IDB who
visited him in Camp Darapanan.
The list of first 145 MILF members to be decommissioned, we understand will be handed over to the IDB this
week, Ferrer said. Government in turn will prepare the socio-economic package that will be given to the decommissioned combatants in order to facilitate their path to productive, civilian lives in their respective communities.
Regarding the panels joint security assessment of the situation, Ferrer said, the peace panels have standing protocols
on ceasefire and the conduct of law enforcement operations.
These were well thought out protocols that had from the
very beginning involved AFP and police generals, Ferrer
said. They aim to prevent unwanted hostility between the
ceasefire parties without I repeat, without- impeding law
enforcement operations.
She added that these protocols have worked well in the
past, have helped save lives, prevented escalation of conflict,
and also provided a stable environment for the peace negotiations.
However, she conceded that, Operationally, they are not
perfect and therefore there is room for improvement.
And there is more to be done in order to quell the infiltration of terrorist cells and neutralize all sorts of lawless
elements in these marshlands, hills, coasts and cities of Mindanao, she said.
She added that this will be discussed as they agreed to
hold this joint security assessment which will be participated by high ranking security officials on the government side
and on the side of the MILF, especially of the BIAF.
She also assured that investigations will continue with
both parties pledging full cooperation to this mission and

the other investigations being undertaken by the Board of
Inquiry and the Special Investigative Commission of the
MILF.
During the press conference, MILF chief negotiator Mohagher Iqbal also said that MILF is fully committed to the
peace process. He likewise appealed for sobriety.
Let me appeal to everybody, especially members of the
media, to journey with us in this peacemaking in Mindanao
and to treat the tragic incident in Mamasapano, Maguindanao on January 25 with utmost consideration of what really
happened and not to fan the emotions, hatred of people,
Iqbal said. (PIA)
