Icot Petilla’s
resignation
Four bodies were retrieved under this ship that beached at Brgy. Apitong in Tacloban City, some 100 meters inland
from the shoreline. Note the concrete house that it crushed. There are three other boats nearby that also beached.
ORMOC CITY – “Suwaw rakaayo kun mamalit ta og mgasakyanan sa 2014 nga human palang ‘ta gikuso-kuso ni Yolanda” ,this was the frank observation ofcouncilor Tommy Seraca on theplanned purchase of P 23-millionworth of vehicles in 2014 by themayor’s ofce.
He said that rather than pur-chase vehicles, the city would bewell off spending the money reha-bilitating important public infra-structures and help constituents
rebuild their homes after Yolanda.Seraca added he is not evensold on the idea of purchasingthree KIA multi-purpose vehiclesfor the city’s social service depart-ment, saying that the CSWDOcan manage with only one newvehicle in addition to its currenteet of service vehicles.
Seraca made this observa-tion during a council deliberationon the budget. They learned fromvarious department heads that themayor planned to buy new servicevehicles for them. City accountantSabrina Duero also informed themthat among the planned purchaseswas a garbage compactor.
However, a request for a de-tailed list on what are the exactvehicles that the mayor’s ofcewould want to buy from the P23-million has been ignored upto press time.
Dr. Mario Rodriguez, chair-man of the committee on nanceat the council, shared Seraca’ssentiments. He said, “we feelthis is not the right time to buyvehicles”.
Serafica and Rodriguez are
Energy Secretary
Carlos Jericho L. Petilla
ENERGY SECRETARY and for-mer Leyte governor Carlos Jeri-cho L. Petilla lived up to his wordto resign from his post on Decem-ber 24, if the Province of Leyte is notyet fully energized by then. However,Pres. Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III re-
jected his resignation on December 26.Malacanang, in a statement issued
on December 26, said that P-Noy is“cognizant of the fact that accordingto original estimates, it would take 3-6months to restore power in town cen-ters, considering the extent of the dam-age caused by Supertyphoon Yolanda”.
Everything was down, it noted, in-cluding the Luzon-Visayas connection,the geothermal plants in Leyte; andgeneration, transmission and distribu-tion lines.
The announcement came after the
President met with Petilla in Malaca-ñang.
The statement said that P-Noyfound Petilla’s post-Yolanda perfor-mance as “excellent”, noting that “First,from his original target of six months,he was able to restore power in roughly40 days. Second, within that period,Secretary Petilla was able to energize317 out of 320 affected towns, leaving0.93% still to accomplish.”
This was even cited by foreignobservers, Malacanang said, who haveinspected the power restoration workbeing done in Yolanda-hit areas. P-Noy

organizations, both local and foreign, gave joy to 136 patients conned at the Ormoc District Hospital (ODH)
recently after they treated them to a surprise Christmas Party. Food packs were given to the patients and their
watchers while a group of young students who call themselves the Niños Foundation of Cebu joined in and gave
each patient a gift. A founder of the Niños Foundation is an Ormocanon, Ryd Depairene.

WHO issues dengue alert, says Yolanda
stricken areas are vulnerable
Atty. Pepito is city
administrator
44 escapees still at large
THE CITY council, on December 23, has concurred to theappointment of Atty. Francis Pepito as city administrator.
Atty. Pepito is a son of former city councilor Sotero “Chuchi”
Pepito. He was appointed city administrator by Mayor Edward
Codilla on November 7, a day before Yolanda hit the city. Pepito’s brother is married to the mayor’s youngest sister, Evelyn.
The new city administrator is 39 years old, married andhas two children. Aside from being a lawyer, he is also alicensed radiologic technician.
TACLOBAN CITY – Robinsons’Place, badly damaged and
victimized by looters in the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda,
has reopened December 19.
As expected, hundreds of customers braved the rains to ock
the mall even before its scheduled time of reopening that morn-
ing. Among the mall’s store that reopened are the Robinson’s
Supermarket and Robinson’s Department Store.
Robinson’s Place was forced to close the commercial estab-
lishment after it sustained millions in losses due to the looting.
Meanwhile, it is expected that other stalls and concessionaires
inside the mall will also reopen their businesses to the publicsoon.
Tacloban City Administrator Atty. Tecson John Lim an-
nounced Robinson’s re-opening. By Consuelo Alarcon/PIA
Robinson’s Place re-opens
TACLOBAN CITY – 44 inmates out of 160 who escaped
while Yolanda rammed the defenses of their prisons remain
at large and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology
(BJMP) in Leyte are urging the escapees to surrender to
avoid complication of their pending cases.
Leyte Provincial Jail Administrator Ch. Insp. Riel Sonon said
that of the 44, 41 are from the Tacloban City Jail while three are
from Palo. He made the announcement in recently concluded
Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) meeting held at
Leyte Sports Development Center (LSDC), this city,
Sonon also acknowledged the contribution of the Philippine
National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines for beinga big help to them in their efforts to recapture the escapees. The
escapees were either recaptured with the aid of the PNP and the
Army, while others voluntarily surrendered. PIA
THE WORLD Health Orga-
nization cautioned the public
on the likelihood of a dengueoutbreak in Yolanda affected
areas in the country.
Ms. Aphaluck Bhatiasevi
of the WHO Communication
Team said the possibility is
due to several factors such
as containers of water and
debris accumulating rainwater
which may become breeding
grounds for dengue-causing
mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti
that breed in clean, stagnant
waters.
Another is that people
displaced by Yolanda could be
more vulnerable because their
homes have been destroyed
and they are living in tents
and temporary shelters withless protection from mosquito
bites.
Moreover, the public
health infrastructure has been
compromised with destruction
of many health care facilities
and sub-optimal access to
water, electricity, internet, etc.
The WHO recommends
that should a suspected caseof dengue be reported, for fog-
ging to be done twice a week
for at least two weeks in and
around the area within a radius
of up to 200 meters where
the patient possibly acquired
infection.
Under the current circum-
stances in typhoon-affected
areas, Bhatiasevi said it is
extremely difcult to eradicate
the Aedes and other mosqui-
toes and their breeding sites.
The WHO reiterates that
prevention is better than cure
and in order to prevent the
mosquitoes from breeding, to
cover water containers.
Dengue-causing mosqui-toes bite predominantly dur-
ing daytime, between 6:30 to
8:30 AM and in afternoons,
between 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
They also advice commu-
nities to do cleanup campaigns
to avoid mosquito breeding as
much as possible. Individu-
als are recommended to use
topical repellants for personal protection especi ally if they
are outdoors during the above
mentioned hours.
Focal fogging around
evacuation centers and health
facilities may be done as a
preventive measure, in areas
where no dengue case has been
detected.
The DOH, with assistance
from WHO and the Research
Institute for Tropical Medicine
has introduced rapid tests for
dengue in selected health facil-
ities as part of dengue outbreak
surveillance in Region 8. With
this proactive surveillance in
place, there is likelihood that
more cases will be detectedand reported, compared to the
routine surveillance.
Dengue is already endemic
in the Philippines. It occurs
throughout the year in the
country, with peak period in
the rainy season from July to
August. Department of Health
statistics show that from Janu-
ary to mid October 2013, morethan 154,000 cases, including
545 deaths, were reported in
the country. Eastern Visayas,
on the other hand, had the low-
est number of dengue cases in
2013. PIA

members of the LP major-ity at the city council ledby Vice Mayor Leo CarmeloLocsin Jr.
The LP majority is bat-ting for a responsive bud-get to a “post Yolanda”
scenario.The 2014 annual budget
was submitted to them be-fore Yolanda, and they feelthat it is not reective to theneeds of Ormoc anymore,said Vice Mayor “Toto”Locsin Jr.
Since Duero has notgiven the SP a detailed listyet, Vice Mayor Toto Loc-sin Jr. has already formallyrequsted the ofce of MayorEdward Codilla for it buthas received no reply yet.
Atty. Bennet Pongos Jr.added they hope the mayorwould open a dialog withthem over the proposedexpenditures.
Other unnecessaryitems
The LP majority in thecouncil has also taken noteof other items in the pro-posed 2014 budget thatthey deem is not necessaryanymore.
Among these are theallocations for electricityof government infrastruc-tures like the Superdomeand streetlights. “We allknow that we only have afew streetlights left stand-ing so the allocation forit could be used for other
important matters like re-habilitation or putting upnew streelights”, notedAtty. Bennet Pongos.
The LP majority said
some P 72-million can be“slashed and moved” to thedevelopment fund.
Meanwhile, it was alsonoted that for 2014, MayorCodilla proposed to in-crease the allocation for “job
orders” from P 50-million toP 80-million.
The mayor also wantsto lay off 444 casual plan-tilla workers from the citypayroll, retaining only 120for his ofce and 37 for thevice-mayor’s ofce.
Pongos said “It mightbe true that the JO can beaffected … but the develop-ment fund can be used bythe executive at the baran-gay level to create job op-portunities for the locals”.
Councilor Roland Vil-lasencio, on the other hand,also wants that the projectsfor the development fund
to be itemized. He said eachbarangay should get a fairshare of the funds, consider-ing all barangays in Ormocwere affected by Yolanda.He added that the prioritiesreected in the city’s annualinvestment plan may havechanged after Yolanda.
Only P 73.5 million incalamity funds
The city council havealso asked councilor Go-die Ebcas, an independentcouncilor allied to MayorEdward Codilla, to apprisethem of what has beenspent from the city’s calam-ity funds already.
To recall, the city coun-cil immediately passed aresolution on November10 authorizing the mayor

to access the city’s calam-ity funds estimated at P130-million then.
The council later foundout that the city only hadactual calamity funds of P73.5-million.
Among the big ticketitems spent from the ca-lamity funds were the gen-erators used for the city’spumping stations. There isalso the repair works of thecity hall.
Bloated estimates?Dr. Rodriguez com-
mented he was even un-comfortable with the esti-mates presented to them forthe repair and rehab of cityinfrastructures affected byYolanda.
The repair of the cityhall, for one, was peggedat P 100-million. Rodriguezalso noted that the repairs of
the 3-in-one buildings werepegged at P 1.5-millioneach, adding he’d inspectedthem himself and they don’tneed that much.
“I have seen it. Some just los t the ir doors andatop (roof). I don’t thinkit needs that much”, hesaid. “With the bloated es-timates”, he added, “the g-ures are so big that it seemsour problems are very big.”
Ebcas, on the otherhand, said that the esti-mates were done through“rapid assessment” thatis why it seemed bloated.He said detailed estimateswould follow. “As soon asthe detailed estimates aredone, then we would knowhow much gyod.”

THE FIRST recorded “stray
bullet” incident over the
holidays happened in the
town of Isabel, not Ormoc
as reported in national news
outlets. The suspect, on the
other hand, is reportedly a
policeman though investiga-
tors have not yet revealed
his name.
The victim was identied
as one Rommel Nahine, 23,
a resident of Brgy. Sto. Niño,
Ormoc City but was in Isabel
when it happened. SPO1 Mark
Alexis Ruita, who investigated
the report, told the EV Mail
that the incident happened at
Brgy. Mahayag in Isabel, Leyte
while the victim was visiting
relations of his wife.
Accounts indicate that thevictim is the brother-in-law of
the policeman whose rearm
discharged accidentally and hit
Nahine on the leg.
The incident happened on
December 23 in the afternoon.
The victim, who suffered a
bullet wound on his left leg,
was brought to Gatchalian
Hospital which is probably
why it was reported that the
incident happened in Ormoc.
Then, he was transferred to
the government-ran Ormoc
District Hospital.
As of press time, the victim
is at the Don Vicente SottoHospital in Cebu City. He was
brought there by Dr. Gavino
Greeneld, a volunteer doctor
of the International Confed-
eration of Red Cross currently
station at ODH. The victims
leg was reportedly shattered
and needed delicate surgical
procedure, hence the decision
to bring him to Cebu. By Paul

The suspect was identied as one Renato
“Gaga” Surigao, 40, married, jobless and a resi-
dent of Brgy. Marvel here. Conscated from his
possession and control were one plastic sachet
of allegedly methamphetamine hydrochloride
or commonly known as “shabu”, P 4,350.00
in various bills including the marked money
used in the buy-bust, a cellphone, two pieces
SIM card (TNT and TM), a mountain bike and
handkerchief.
Sr. Insp. Florando Sevilla Relente, OIC-
Chief of Police, said the raid was witnessed by
a media representative and Sto. Niño barangay
chairman Paterno Hermoso. As of press time, the
police have already led a complaint of posses-
sion and drug pushing against the suspect. By

Christmas Faces
A “post Yolanda”responsive budget
SEE FR. ROY P. 5SEE MERCADO P. 5
“RAUL” TOPS our Christmas Eve check-
list. He’s a 55-year old who collects empty
bottles and scrap for a living. He looks 80
from having had one “altanghap” too many.
That’s jargon for breakfast (almusal), lunch
(tanghalian) and dinner (hapunan) crammed
into one.
The 7.2 magnitude earthquake of October
15 proved the deadliest in 23 years. It shattered,
among other places, the Cebu Capitol post
ofce building. Raul could no longer use it’s
front steps for “sleeping quarters”. Evenings,
he’d shufe from one other building to another,
seeking patchy shelter --- until November 8.
Super typhoon “Yolanda” that day ram-
paged through Visayas. That slashed Raul’salready limited options. “There was no room
in the inn” on the rst Christmas Eve too.
Penury ratchets the pain. The poverty rate
here brackets us with Haiti. We lag behind
China, Thailand and Indonesia in tamping down
indigence. More than a quarter of Filipinos
hobble below the poverty line, despite claims by
Senators Bong, Juan Ponce Enrile and Jinggoy
that their pork slabs went to the poor.
More Filipinas die in childbirth today
than in the early 1990s. And more infants are
orphaned than in 2006. Most of those deaths
were preventable. Malaysia slashed maternal
death rates to 31 and China to 38. “Sri Lanka
and Honduras led the way in slashing maternal
mortality,” New York Times reports.
It is harsh to say that we’ve turned a deaf ear
to the death rattle in the throats of thousands ofyoung mothers and infants. But it is true.
“No beggars here Lola,” our grandchildren
Kristin, 9, and Katarina, 7, Skype-d from Swe-
den. They’re in a rural town for a year to pick up
their mother’s language. A couple of Christmas
Eves back in Cebu, they gave food packs to
beggars. “The lola sat down and ate the rice and
sardines we gave”, they said, “Then, she cried.”
That was Kindergarten 101 on hunger.
Later, they’ll learn that about 6 percent of 12.6
million kids drop out from primary school.
Then, they may see that kids they shared food
had little chances for full human lives. “I don’t
like marshmallows,” Kathie gripes. “Don’t
say that,” Kristin snaps. “Many children have
nothing to eat.”
On Christmas Day, churches will be
crammed. But Raul and the Lola who wept are
the faces of those who probably won’t shufein. We’re locked into a society where lifestyles
of the few rich excludes others, Pope Francis
said, “Almost without being aware of it...,we
end up incapable of feeling compassion (for
the poor) and the need to help them, as though
all this were someone else’s responsibility, not
our own”
Christmas “is either the tale of a prophet,
a political agitator or the Messiah”, Columnist
Anna Quindlen wrote in “Frankincense in Aisle
Five.” “His name was Jesus...And there’ve been
horric wrongdoing from the Inquisition to the
Holocaust by the very people who embraced
(Christmas). Schisms from Luther’s manifesto
to Henry VIII’s marriages, (erupted) They have
not been able to to kill it:
“Through plague and war, famine and inva-sion, the tale was told and the lesson learned, of
love for neighbors, of charity toward the poor.
Carols were sung in foxholes and prisons... .O
ye of little faith, who believe that somehow the
birth of Christ is dependent upon acknowledg-
ment in a circular from OfceMax.”
“The Messiah was sent to save us from our
sins, but not our silliness... Now, the cycle has
once again wound to the anniversary of that
(birth) and it is surprising to discover that some
believe the enduring power of the story of the
Child born in Bethlehem to be so shaky that it
must be shored up by plastic creches...
Jesus threw the money-changers out of the
temple, saying that they’d made his father’s
house into a den of thieves. Quindlen asks:
“Does that sound like someone who’d hanker
to be formally recognized at (department stores)
as though his legacy depended upon being given
pride of place among teddy bears in Santa hats?
“The star of Bethlehem was nothing like a
blue-light special. For those things, see Mat-
thew, Mark, Luke and John, the greatest story
never sold. It’s an insult to the power and the
glory of faith to seek it in fried foods, statuary
or perfunctory greetings of overworked store
clerks.”
Or ask Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Bi-
nay? He denied that he, and bodyguards with
pistols cocked, threatened Dasmariñas Village
guards who insisted on enforcing the rule: No
exits permitted after 10pm that gate. They were
directed to another exit ve minutes away. They
insisted, resulting in an hour-and-half stand off.
Binay insists he did not say “Do you know
who I am?”. Years back, a Cebuano congress-
man slapped a trafc aide saying: “Don’t you
WHILE WE all have to pursue the long and
winding road to sanctity, we have to remem-
ber that we also have to be sinner-friendly,
but not sin-friendly. We have to be most
careful with the distinction.
It would be a disaster if in our earnest effort
to be holy, we become monsters instead, because
we become proud and vain, feeling ourselves
superior to others, making rash judgments right
and left, and reeking with self-righteousness.
To be sure, it would not be true holiness
if the struggle in our spiritual life takes away
charity, understanding, patience and compas-
sion towards others. The contrary should be
true. Authentic sanctity should make us more
charitable, merciful, understanding and patienttowards others.
This is what we see in Christ. Accused by the
leading people of the time to be “a glutton and a
wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners,”
(Mt 11,19), he did not correct that impression,
but rather went along with it.He fraternized with sinners. Zacchaeus, for
example. Matthew was another one. When awoman, caught in adultery, was presented tohim for condemnation, he refrained from doingso. Instead, he dismissed her with the simpleadmonition to sin no more.
Right there on the cross, a thief cruciedwith him, simply begged, “Lord, rememberme when you shall come into your kingdom.”And Christ, without further ado, readily saw thecontrition and said, “Amen, this day you shall be with me in paradise.” (Lk 23,42-43)
Jesus was very liberal with his mercy. Hedid not make unnecessary demands. He whotaught his disciples to forgive others not onlyseven times, but seventy times seven—mean-ing always—practised what he preached. The parables of the lost coin, the lost sheep and the prodigal son can attest to this.
More than that, he told his followers to lovetheir enemies. For that precisely is the truecharacter of charity. It’s when it’s given gratiset amore, without expecting any return, thatits authenticity is shown, that is, that its divineorigin and character is shown.
This is most vividly expressed in his passionand death on the cross. With that, he assumedthe sinfulness of all men, from the rst to thelast, without committing sin himself. In short, hemade his very own self as the very expiation forour sins. He did not merely offer some things asransom for our sin. He offered himself.
That’s why, Christ declared that “no manhas greater love than he who lays down his lifefor his friends.” (Jn 15,13)
Christian life would not be complete if thisinnite mercy of God is not preached and livedtogether with the rigor and discipline that fol-lowing Christ also involves. We have to be care-ful in presenting the true essence of Christianity.While it has its very strict aspect, it also has itsmost lenient part. The two should go together.
We need to reassure everyone that thereis always hope regardless of whatever faults,mistakes and sins we commit. And in this taskof reassuring everyone of hope, we cannot be passive, but rather proactive by reaching out tothose who may not yet feel the urge to returnto God.
The gospel of hope, love and mercy should be spread far and wide, even in those areas
where this good news is not yet welcome.
BEFORE ANYTHING else, allow me to greet
everyone a Blessed Christmas and hopefully,
a less stressful New Year.
I doubt, however, if 2014 will be less stress-
ful to our city ofcials.
Relations between the two branches are
chilly right now. Mayor Edward Codilla was
reportedly displeased with the LP majority’s
choice for the late councilor Nepomuceno
Aparis I’s replacement and has stopped “talk -
ing” to the LP members. The joviality shown
during the rst few days just shed off and today,
communication lines are strained.
Nonetheless, the LP majority at the councilheaded by Vice Mayor Toto Locsin Jr. is un-
fazed. Right now, they are scrutinizing the city’s
annual budget, as proposed by the executive
which in this case is the mayor, and do not like
the “lump sum appropriations” that they see.
They want a clear cut, detailed list on what
are the proposed expenditures because trans-
parency and prudence in government spending
are among the platforms that the Liberal Party
ofcials promised during the campaign.
The council has the power of the purse,
Atty. Bennet Pongos Jr. explains, and with it
comes the heavy responsibility of making sure
that every centavo spent of taxpayers money
is put to good use. The council is the people’s
watchdog, and the LP majority is taking their
jobs seriously.
More importantly, the LP majority insiststhey want a budget that is responsive to a “postYolanda” scenario. But requests for revisionshave been stonewalled. It’s almost the end ofthe year, they’ve been told.
I couldn’t agree more to the LP majority. Inthe months to come, we are sure to get a share ofthe rehab funds from the national government.However, that will come much later. Lacson andhis rehab team just had a “consultation” overhow rehab should be done in Makati, and in themeantime, some local problems need immediateand more permanent solutions.
And by now, our mayor should have his pri-orities set. And he should not be shy in detailingthem to the council. After all, if he has nothingto hide, then what is wrong in revealing it?
I also salute the LP majority in the councilfor batting for a transparent budget. I’ve seenthem stonewalled in their quest for transparency,
but they’ve prodded on. We should support themin this quest.

I met a friend at Gaisano Riverside Mall andhe asked why there were no soft drinks beingsold in major stores in Ormoc. Instead, there isa lot at the sidewalks, being sold at exorbitant prices. In major stores, he said, these soft drinkswould be sold at pre-Yolanda SRP (suggestedretail price). On the streets, they fetch for P 60to P 75 each.
He asked why the DTI was not regulatingthe obvious proteering that was happeninghere. Well, obviously, there is a puppet master behind all this.
Councilor Bennet Pongos Jr., in a delibera-tion this week, said he had asked city admin-istrator Atty. Pepito to suggest to the mayorto convene the price monitoring council. Heforwarded this suggestion to Pepito less than aweek after Yolanda. But it seems that it has not been convened yet.

FR. ROY ... from P. 4MERCADO ... from P. 4
When hair is goneIs Christmas
relevant?
GOD THE Father must have been so dis-
gusted with Man that even in the frst book
of the Bible, Genesis, He caused the GreatDeluge to happen because of the sins com-
mitted by man.
According to Gen 6:9, all the water in the
heavens disgorged its contents in torrents for
forty days and forty nights. The whole world
was inundated up to 15 cubits above the highest
mountain. A cubit is the length measured from
the elbow to the tip of your middle nger; about
15 to 22 inches. This was how they measured
lengths in the absence of a tape measure. The
highest mountain on record is Mt. Everest which
is 29,035 ft in heigth. Fifteen cubits above it
makes it about 29,400 ft. With this amount
of water, all humanity perished except for
Noah who was made to build an ark to house
his three sons with their wives and all beasts
and creatures. We are therefore descendants
of Noah. The very thought makes this cornershiver whether I am worthy to be a descendant
of Noah.
God must have loved Man so much that
He sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to
come down and assume human nature, to be the
Redeemer of man. God could have done what
a teacher does when he commits a mistake: use
the blackboard eraser and start all over again.
He chose to use a circuitous alternative. Jesus
had to go through the same grind as any of us
goes through. He had to suffer like any of us
does. He had to be insulted, slapped, beaten, spat
upon, carried the load of a cross and eventually
crucied. Crucixion is the kind of death they
give to criminals. Was Jesus Christ a criminal?
What crime could He have committed? Even the
criminal beside Him said that He was innocent.
This kind of death is inhuman. Your own chestwill eventually choke your lungs little by little
until you gasp for air up to your dying moment.
Jesus Christ could have asked a host
of angels to save Him. He did not. He offered
His life for us. Can we say it was his Christmas
present for us? How many of us remember togreet Jesus on his birthday? Hardly if at all.
After the mass, many of us will go home to
partake of the “noche buena” and spend the rest
of the morning indulging in food and wine. Too
bad though that we are still in the after-effect
of typhoon Yolanda. No electricity. Nothing
in the refrigerator. Nothing to offer; nothng to
give. It was not so bad even during the time of
the Japanese Occupation. It is so bad that the
people of Tacloban are here in Ormoc to live
like any human being. This is the reason why all
the streets are clogged up, including the hotels,
apartments, eateries, malls.
Now that Jesus Christ redeemed us after
taking on the role of any person, it appears we
have not changed for the better. Crime conti-
nues unabated. We seem headed to the very
reason God’s ire was aroused. The sins thatman committed prior to the Great Deluge are
still being committed: fornication, same-sex
marriage, wife-swapping, husband-swapping,
perversion, killing, robbery, prostitution, etc
continue without let up. To my mind, govern-
ment corruption is worse because it involves
billions of pesos. It has reached a proportion that
became more manifest with the episode of the
coming of Yolanda. Again, it is the people that
is made to carry the burden that was carried by
the generation before us.
Christ cannot be made to redeem us again.
The next time He comes, it will be as Judge. Are
we prepared to accept our judgment? We have
been given our chance to make up. He does not
have to say anything. Our life is shown in a ash
and you yourself cannot deny anything. There
can be no better judgment than this. No moreneed for a lawyer. No more need for witnesses.

Happy New Year to one and all of the read-
ers of this column.
MANY MEN and women over age 50 expe-
rience hair loss, from thinning of their scalp
to male pattern baldness. And their optionsare limited.
Comb overs and toupees are not very sat-
isfactory. While medications can delay the rate
of loss, surgical strategies essentially involving
hair transplants are met with varying success.
In both cases, generating new hair growth does
not happen.
The ideal solution would be one that
prompts defective hair follicles to sprout new
hair, or that allows transplanted follicles to have
a greater chance of laying down roots.
It is good that now bald is the new sexy so
some men (including our 3 sons who have only
receding hairlines and still a far cry from natu-
ral cue balls) have opted instead to completely
shave their heads. Even so, hair challenged peo-
ple are excited that researchers have developed
a way for growing new human hair. It is part ofa long-term quest to dramatically improve the
medical treatment of hair loss.
The technique centers on the behavior of
human dermal papilla cells, the ones that make
up the base of hair follicles. While the idea of
using dermal papilla cells to generate new hair
growth has been around for about 40 years,
scientists have had a hard time doing it since
the cells simply revert back to basic skin cells
when they’re put into a culture.
Rodent papillae don’t have that problem,
because they clump together and make it easier
for the cells to communicate with each other.
Taking a clue from the rodent example,
researchers gured out how to encourage the
human papillae to aggregate in a culture. After
harvesting samples from human donors, the
researchers transplanted the cells between thedermis and epidermis of human skin and grafted
them onto the backs of mice. After a few days,
scientists found that the hair was growing like
normal.
Researchers are not suggesting that we
should grow for ourselves a new head of hair
on the back of a mouse. This research is in the
very early stages. A magical hair growth tonic
is probably still at least a few years away, if it’s
coming at all.
The ndings may not be the much-sought
x for receding hairlines or bald patches. But
they do offer fresh hope for those who suffer
from such “pattern baldness”.
Researchers still do not know exactly how
papilla cells interact with skin cells. They also
need to understand the control mechanisms that
determine the various properties of hair, suchas color, angle, positioning and texture to make
more meaningful recommendations.
Nonetheless, the ndings suggest some
potentia lly new approach es for gene rating
hair growth. Researchers may now be able to
identify a few “master genes” that regulate
the process, and try to inuence them. Or, by
analyzing how the spheroids work, it may be
possible to nd drugs that similarly inuence
hair papilla function.
If the results are validated, the scientists an-
ticipate that the technique could be used to treat
everything from male pattern baldness to female
hair loss and hair loss that results from disease,
wounds or from burn patients who have lost the
upper layers of skin that contain hair follicles.
know who I am?” Contrast that with John’s
account read on Christmas Day. “He came unto
his own, and his own received him not. He came
unto is own, and his own received him not.”
Thieves are lionized here, not ostracized.
Cash ushers them to rst places at tables. Those
in a position to adopt reforms are the very per-
sons who scavenge without let up.
Raul and the Lola who wept never read
the 92-word greeting that Nobel Laureate (1928 ) Sigrid Undset sent. But they embody
it’s message:
“And when we give each other Christmas
gifts in His name, let us remember that He has
given us the sun and the moon and the stars,
and the earth with its forests and mountains
and oceans --- -and all that lives and move
upon them.
“He has given us all green things and every-
thing that blossoms and bears fruit and all that
we quarrel about and all that we have misused.
And to save us from our foolishness, from all
our sins, He came down to earth and gave us
Himself.”
This is the challenge we all have to confront.For sure, it can only be handled properly if wetry our best to conform ourselves as intimatelyas possible to the mind, will and heart of Christ.There can be no other way.
For this to happen, we need to pray andmeditate on the living and eternal word of God,avail of the sacraments, study the catechism, de-velop and grow in the virtues, and ll ourselves
with the holy zeal to bring others closer to God.This is how we can have a true encounterwith the living Christ who often is caricaturizedand disgured by us through our inadequateeffort to follow him closely. We many times re-duce him to our own terms and schema becausewe fail to enter by the narrow gate, or we areaverse to the sacrice needed in following him.
We have to have the living Christ before wecan present and give him to others. Though therewill always be obstacles along the way, we areassured that if we persevere and are willing togo all the way—even to our version of crucix-ion—the truth and beauty of Christianity wouldsimply be irresistible.

Matthew 2: 1 - 12
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehemof Judea in the days of Herod the king,behold, wise men from the East came toJerusalem, saying, “Where is he who hasbeen born king of the Jews? For we haveseen his star in the East, and have cometo worship him.”
When Herod the king heard this, he wastroubled, and all Jerusalem with him; andassembling all the chief priests and scribes
of the people, he inquired of them wherethe Christ was to be born.They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea;
for so it is written by the prophet: ̀ And you,O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are byno means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler who willgovern my people Israel.’”
Then Herod summoned the wise mensecretly and ascertained from them whattime the star appeared; and he sent themto Bethlehem, saying, “Go and searchdiligently for the child, and when you havefound him bring me word, that I too maycome and worship him.”
When they had heard the king they wenttheir way; and lo, the star which they hadseen in the East went before them, till itcame to rest over the place where the childwas. When they saw the star, they rejoicedexceedingly with great joy; and going intothe house they saw the child with Mary his
mother, and they fell down and worshipedhim. Then, opening their treasures, they of-fered him gifts, gold and frankincense andmyrrh. And being warned in a dream not toreturn to Herod, they departed to their owncountry by another way.
ENERGY ... from P. 1
said they “pointed out that repair and re-habilitation of energy infrastructure wasdone faster.”
“For all these reasons, the President,in rejecting Secretary Petilla’s offer to re-sign, reiterated that he has no intention of
losing the services of an honorable publicservant,” the statement said.
To recall, Petilla earlier vowed to resignfrom his post if the Department of Energyfails to restore power to Leyte devastatedby Yolanda by Christmas eve.
“Do you want my position if I don’tmake it by December 24? You will have it….I’ll submit my resignation if that is whatyou want,” Petilla told reporters in Palo,
Leyte, last November 18.By Christmas, Petilla admitted thatthree towns hit by Yolanda remain withoutaccess to electricity and because of this,he was tendering his resignation. “I willhave no word of honor if I stay on and inpublic service, word of honor is extremelyimportant,” he said.
As of presstime, only commercial ar-eas of Yolanda-hit cities and towns haveelectric connections. In Ormoc City, resto-ration work has slowed down as servicecrews from other areas went home beforeChristmas to spend the holidays with theirfamilies. Many portions of the city properare still powerless.
