- The mayor of San Policarpo in Eastern Samar holed himself up at his office after a regional trial court directed him to
step down from office declaring his rival as the duly elected
mayor of the town during the May,2013 polls.
Since July 18, Mayor Conrado Nicart III did not leave his
office, located at the second floor of the municipal hall, showing his defiance to the order issued by Judge Juliana White for
him to vacate the post in favor of Virginia Acol.
I will not give up my seat as I strongly believe that I was
the real winner and I was duly proclaimed by the Comelec,
Nicart said, adding that stepping down would do injustice to
the people of his town who put him into office.
He said he would fight his post by filing an appeal before
the Commission on Elections and even up to the Supreme
Court.
Nicart, however, said that he would only step down and
leave his office if there is already a final order and a directive
from the Department of the Interior and Local Government
(DILG).
The political impasse at the said town, 230 kilometers
from the regional Tacloban City, started when White, presiding judge of the Regional Trial Court Branch 5 based in Oras,
also in Eastern Samar, issued a ruling on June 30 directing
Nicart to step down in favor of Acol.
Acol filed a petition before the court to conduct a recount
of the votes of which the court ruled in her favor.
Based on the recount of the votes involving 18 clustered
precincts, the court declared that Acol had actually garnered
total votes of 3,773 against Nicarts 3,667 votes or a margin of
106 votes.
On May 14, 2013, the members of the elections board of
canvassers proclaimed Nicart with winning votes of 3,945 as
against Acols 3,857 votes or just a difference of 88 votes.
Nicart, who is serving on his third and last term as mayor, ran under the banner of Liberal Party and son of Eastern
Samar Governor Conrado Nicart, Jr. Acol, a businesswoman,

Prepare to be
a sacrificial lamb
TO be very realistic in
life, we have to be ready
and eager to become a sacrificial lamb. This is not bad
news. This is Good News.
Let me explain.
Our problem is that,
unfortunately, the expression, sacrificial lamb, has
suffered a great diminution of appreciation in the
world today. It is simply
considered in the context
of practical advantages and
disadvantages of a given situation.
Obviously, with that
frame of mind and only
and exclusively with that
attitude without any other
higher consideration, no
one would like to be a sacrificial lamb. Even the commonest of common sense
would be averse to that
idea. Everyone would like
to flee from that predicament as much as possible.
But the phenomenon of
sacrificial lamb actually has
a very wonderful significance. Our Christian faith
tells us that given who and
what we are, we have been
taught right from the beginning of humanity, that
we need to offer a sacrifice
as a way of expressing and
affirming the truth that we
come from God and we
also belong to him.
God, our Father and
Creator, has been the one
who teaches us about this
duty. He has also equipped
us in our nature so that we
can comply with this duty
that only shows the intimate relation we have with
God. In short, God, who is
love, has been teaching us,
who
are his image and likeness, how to love.
This whole business of

perfect love.
We have to understand
from all this that the life and
death of Christ, especially
the supreme sacrifice of his
life on the cross, should be
the model and motive of
our life and death as well.
This is when the worst
thing that can happen to us,
that is, to be in sin, alienated from God, can turn into
the best thing for us as well,
as long as we know how to
unite ourselves with Christ.
That is why we have to
learn to make sacrifice, first
of all, because, it is the most
natural thing for us to do
considering who and what
we are in relation to God.
Then, we have to make a
sacrifice because we have
to make up for our sins and
mistakes. And ultimately
we have to make sacrifice
because we have to follow
the example of Christ all the
way.
...from Page 3
That is why, if for some
reason or another we find
ourselves in situations
and predicaments that
make us feel like sacrificial lambs, that is, made to
suffer though we feel we
dont seem to deserve it, we
should actually feel happy
and privileged, because in
that way, we are being conformed to Christ in his best
act of love in a most intimate manner.
It is good, therefore,
that we condition ourselves
to aim at being sacrificial
lambs. We ought to welcome every opportunity
to be so and somehow be
happy with it. The saints
and holy men and women
through the ages have always felt that way.
Thus if we suffer some
extraordinary
difficult
problems and conditions,
we should never fail to see
the great blessing we are actually receiving.
