UNA not using PNOY, says JV

TACLOBAN CITY-San Juan congressional representative and senatoriable Joseph Victor JV Ejercito Estrada said that the opposition party is not using President Aquino to advance their chances for the May, 2013 elections. Estrada said that while they acknowledge that the President is enjoying a high popularity rating among the Filipinos, they are not using him for them to ensure polls victory. The former presidential son, who was in the city on his way to an speaking engagement in Borongan City yesterday, said that the opposition, for one, is not wanting of popular figures who can match that of the President. We have the Vice President (Jejomar Binay), we have Senate President (Juan Ponce) Enrile and of course, President Erap, Estrada said. Earlier, Malacaang spokesperson Edwin Lacierda accused the opposition, particularly the members of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) of using the President for political gains. We are presenting ourselves as the alternatives. There is no monopoly as to who could only say that we are the only one who are clean and have the track record, he said. That just because we belong to the opposition, we dont have the right to love our country, Estrada said. He urged the electorate to see the performances of the candidates of both the opposition and the administration as he stressed that the UNA candidates have all the credentials and performances to be elected. Meantime, Estrada admitted that he has to drop Ejercito as a surname for political reason as he admitted that when he started using Estrada, his popularity rating has increased. In fact, based on a latest survey, he is now ranked number 4, a standing that could boost his winning for a Senate seat. Estrada also expressed his gratitude to the people of Eastern Visayas for their continued support to his father, former president Joseph Estrada. We are forever grateful to the people of Leyte and Samar for their continued support to my father. When he ran for President, he even emerged as winner in some parts of the region like here in Tacloban, Estrada said.

of the Philippine National Police-8, said that these officials would be only entitled to have two security escorts each. These security escorts could either come from the PNP or from the Philippine Army. Cubillo clarified that the security detail issued to them is only good for one month as it was only issued by the Regional Joint Controlled Center, which is headed by the Comelec with the PNP and the Philippine Army as members. They are only al-

lowed to have two security details and is only good for one month. It is the committee on the ban of firearms and security personnel of the Comelec central which grants a permanent security detail, Cubillo said. By permanent security escort, it means that those who requested of such can enjoy it until the end of the election period. Threat to their lives were the reason cited why these governors and congressmen applied for security detail,Cubillo said. Its the local police which made the assessment and forwarded to my office for validation, Cubillo said. Among the candidates of the region who applied for security detail

were Leytes governorin-waiting Leopoldo Dominico Petilla and his mother Remedios, who is seeking for a second term as mayor of Palo town, Leyte; outgoing Ormoc City Mayor Eric Codilla who is running for a congressional seat of Leytes third district against Rep. Lucy Torres Gomez. Gomez, based on the Comelec record, has not applied for a security detail. Samar gubernatorial candidate Rosa Jessica Uy-Delgado, also applied for security escort. Her father, former Calbayog city mayor Reynaldo Uy was gunned down last May 1,2011 by still unidentified suspects. Samar is considered to be among the countrys 15 hotspot or concerned areas due to the its intense

political rivalry,presence of private armed groups and that of the New Peoples Army. Cubillo said that while governors and congressmen are allowed to have security detail coming from the PNP and Philippine Army, vice governors, mayors, among others as well as candidates not in elective position yet could have their security through a private security agency. Just the same, they would only be allowed to have two security escorts, Cubillo said. If they will have more than the allowed security escorts, then its subject for questioning as to why he or she has more than two security details, he said.

(96,166 MT) and 1.60% (140,529 MT) increment, respectively. Apparently, this production performance was triggered by a higher average yield per hectare of the said provinces. The provinces of Eastern Samar and Northern Samar registered a high yield growth of 7.20% (2.82 MT/ha) and 4.65% (2.80 MT/ha), respectively. A positive yield growth was also posted by Southern Leyte (2.23%) and Samar (0.96%). Leyte remained as the regions highest rice producer with a total harvest of 521,115 MT while Biliran was the highest yielder with an average yield per hectare of 4.49 MT. This was despite attaining a negative 1.07% and 0.09% growth levels, respectively. These provinces had more than doubled their con-

tribution to the regions total output. It is noteworthy that this situation came about for the first time in many years, Ayaso, in a press statement, said. He added the rice production output in 2012 could be a result of a strong confluence of various growth driving factors involving the DA, its partner agencies, the local government units, the private sector and the farmers. The revitalized extension, training and research services contributed 30% to the regions yield growth. Irrigation support was also a major growth driver putting in a 25% contribution while both seed technology adoption and favorable environment accounted for 10%, Ayaso said. He also said that organic inputs and postharvest-related interventions both contributed 5% while other support services added a share of 15 %.( REYAN L. ARINTO)

These people or entities do not even care to coordinate with the concerned local government unit. It results to wastage, duplication, un-programmed and useless work.

Getting pregnant in the past was simple without much snag. A girl watches her tummy grows as months go by. The mood swings, depending on the stimuli in the surroundings. Complications get in the way when the husband could not give what she craves for or when an irritant appears, mostly people who are not flavors of the day. Cravings are naturally tolerated by the husband, the family and even friends until the phenomenon stops. These are not only on food, there are other things that stir the taste and imagination of the pregnant girl could be the unthinkable: soil, roaches, other pests, petroleum gas, dirt and many more. The phenomenon includes the aversion for water that the girl would not take

It could be dislike for certain foods that a whiff could make her throw up without let up or it could be the smell of the husband. The pregnancy experience is quite something. It is a phenomenon that is mindboggling. No one can understand the mixed feeling of uncertainty, joy and anxiety but the thought of producing a small icon of the love shared is enough to wipe away all the fears, tears, apprehension and uncertainties. Today, getting pregnant is more complicated. The girl is subjected to two or three ultrasounds, the second resulted to a daughter,

It is not easy thinking where to get the 50K professional fee as the doctor tells the girl she might have to go through the knife. But definitely, getting pregnant today is a lot safer and secured with all the available birthing facilities around. Not only are the hospitals facilities complete, professionals are available to handle cases with some of them trained outside the country, doctors who have had the opportunities to deliver babies in hospitals abroad. They just do this for the sheer experience to be able to apply here.

In Gods hands

A proverb says, Dont take credit for what God does. As you enjoy His blessings in your family, your business, or your ministry, keep in mind that you are an instrument in the hands of the Master. This is a fundamental precept that Christians hold on to, and the reason many would usually utter To God be (all ) the Glory especially after a favorable event has just taken place. God is the ultimate source of all things that are good and the power that gives meaning to hopes and aspirations. Is this not also the reason that Christians oftentimes call on God for succor in times of need and even desperate want? It is as it God is the genie in the bottle that makes all three wishes come true in his snap. It should be remembered, as said in the Book of Proverbs, (which goes in gist) Man pro-

Like Glicyl Arante Alvero, a cum laude of Colegio de Sta. Lourdes of Leyte Foundation in Tabon-Tabon town and topnotcher in the December 2012 Nursing Board Exam, the three must also be grateful to God for their achievement. They were all raised as they placed their fate in Gods hands. Glicyl, in said LSDE chit-chat, disclosed I persevered In everything I do I always ask Gods guidance. I have faith in God and, of course, I want to succeed in life. The news written by correspondents Joey Gabieta and Ricky Bautista stated, Alvero said that her faith in God and strong determination in herself to succeed could be the reasons that made her finish on the top of the examination. Her prayers answered. Indeed there is no worry if we put our trust in Gods hands.

Most often the success of plans, programs and activities are affected by the timing these were initially done. These have nothing to do with superstitions but according to the Chinese beliefs, it pays to balance the effects of energies in the world. It is believed that correct timing and balancing of energies make the difference. Sometimes, projects are done hastily because the budget is late or these were not planned out well.

Presentation of the Lord [Feast] Mal 3:1-4; Ps 24; Heb 2:14-18; Lk 2:22-40 [or 2:22-32]

THE PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE

When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and to offer a sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Messiah of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him, he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying: Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel. The childs father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem. When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.

PRESENTATION OF THE LORD

When the Infant Jesus was brought into the Temple in January by his parents to be presented to the Lord, he was just a face in the crowd. Thousands of people thronged in the Temple precincts every day, and regularly children were presented there. Nobody knew the child, Jesus, and nobody had the least suspicion of the good that he would do; nobody except the old man Simeon, and the prophetess Anna. They were on the lookout for such a child. They looked for the comforting of Israel, and for the salvation of the Gentiles. When a young couple came cradling a child, their hearts leapt for joy and they held the child realizing that it was the light of the world. Today there is the ceremony of the blessing of the candle and procession. The lighted candle represents Christ. The procession symbolizes our journey to the heavenly Jerusalem. We must always have this light of Christ. This light will disperse the darkness of our mind. It will enlighten our mind. It will make us see things in their true reality. (His Word Lives 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 thought: Jesus came for the Redemption. This means that all the prophecies regarding the passion, the agony, the betrayal, the scourging, the condemnation, the crucifixion, the painful death refer to this Child. And the mother would share his sufferings. The measure of her sufferings was the measure of her love for her Son and God. Blessed James Alberione, founder of the Pauline Family

The fight against corruption has been successful but much more needs to be done. It should improve the flow of foreign direct investment. The country must assure potential investors of the sustainability of the on-going reforms. The Philippines would have to invest more infrastructure and human capital to attract more investments. Public spending on healthcare and education should increase to enhance human capital. We must improve per capital income, address pervasive rural poverty and better prepare for natural disasters.

The Philippines reached an impressive 6.5% growth from 2012 and it should be sustained to allow it to filter to the grassroots and benefit the masses. This growth should be sustained to benefit the broader part of our society, especially the poor. It takes several years of sustained growth before a country can reduce poverty. The on-going conditional cash transfer (CCT) program that gives monetary incentives to poor families

who sent school age children to school would have poverty- reducing effect but it is a short term effect.
