ACLOBAN CIY- Te Phil-ippine Fiber Industry Develop-ment Authority 8 (PhilFIDA-8)here in the region is set to pro-

vide abaca plantlets and farmingtools to support the needs of theabaca farmers recover from lossesthey sustained due to devastationcaused by supertyphoon Yolanda.

Aside from mainly helping theaffected abaca farmers, the inter-

vention by their office would helprevive the industry itself, said Jo-seph Salas, officer-in-charge fortechnical assistance unit of Phil-FIDA-8.

Te farming tools to be dis-tributed to the abaca farmers willinclude sharp bolo, shovels andhoes.

“Farmers are motivated towork when there are materials onhand and when they know thatthe government is ready to helpand support them. We will pro-cure these tools for them to pushforward and go back to farming

and plant more,” Salas said.PhilFIDA has allocated ten setsof farming tools for each munici-pality identified under the projectthat includes the city of Ormocand the towns of Albuera, Kanan-ga, Burauen, Hindang, Hilongos,Javier, Abuyog, and Inopacan inLeyte; Bontoc and St. Bernardin Southern Leyte; Victoria and

PhilFIDA to provide plantlets, farming tools to abaca farmersin Eastern Visayas

Lavesarez in Northern Samar; andDolores in Eastern Samar.

Moreover, PhilFIDA alreadydistributed a total of 14,805 tissuecultured abaca plantlets in 14 mu-nicipalities in the region as part ofits rehabilitation activities.

Te said plantlets were releasedto the Eastern Visayas Fiber Re-gional Experiment Station andSeed Bank (EVERFESS) in Abuy-

og, Leyte.Te cultured abaca plantlets or

young plants were distributed toBontoc, Southern Leyte; Abuyog,Jaro and MacArthur, Leyte; Mar-abut, Samar; Calbayog City and,Almeria, Biliran. Farmers werealso provided with training by thePhilFIDA under the said project.

Aside from distributing offarming tools, plantlets and pro-

viding trainings for farmers, Phil-FIDA also continue to implementthe Abaca Expansion Project to re-habilitate and restore nurseries fornew abacas and provide technicalassistance to farmers in establish-ing plant sale outlets.

Eastern Visayas is consideredas a major abaca-producing regionin the country but its productiondecreased due to the incidence ofpests and diseases and natural ca-lamities like Yolanda. (JEFFREYDADO CONSULTADO, LNUIntern)

I

t’s been 28 years since PresidentFerdinand Edralin Marcos fled the

country- driven out of the countryvia the historic EDSA I People Pow-er revolution on several chargeslike plunder, ill-gotten wealth accu-

“End this kid gloves treatment of

the Marcos cases” Rep. Walden Bello

mulation, human rights violation to include the re-cent discovery of some 156 expensive artworks offamous world artists. It is believed that these havebeen acquired by former First Lady Imelda Romual-dez Marcos, now representative of Ilocos Norte.

Administrations after administrations that fol-lowed after the Marcos – fall from power have treat-ed these serious crimes with kid gloves. The Pres-

idential Commission on Good Government (PCGG)has recovered only about $4 Billion, about one halfof the ill-gotten believed to be P10 Billion to in-clude $658 millions in Swiss bank deposits, theseartworks and prime properties abroad.

There are suspicions.However that agencies

tasked to recover this ill-gotten wealth may havebeen taking advantage of this stolen wealth via

machinations of dishonest administrators of theaccused heirs of the dictator who now are back topolitical power.

Akbayan party-list Representative Walden Belloand other militant legislators are calling for the im-mediate resolution of the Marcos cases. It shouldresult in the confiscation of those millions of stolenwealth back to government coffers. It could alsopave the way to put those guilty behind bars. Itshall likewise result in the restoration of a good

judicial fairness and integrity, an unsullied breast-plate of officials of our Philippine justice system.

Our prison cells have people who stole but a fewhundreds. The Marcos loot is believed to be $10Billion and look at where the clan is?

The early resolution of the Marcos cases willresult in the restoration of judicial integrity andfairness.

WE have just celebrated the liturgical memorial o OurLady o the Rosary (October 7). It’s this celebration thathas made the whole month o October the month o therosary. Let’s hope that we appreciate the true value o thisprayer.

I still remember my childhood days in the provincewhen we were “orced” or at least “pressured” to say therosary with Lola and Mama and other siblings who were

“caught” at the time o this prayer. We did it kneelingdown. O course, I didn’t quite like it, but neither did I eelmistreated. Filial obedience played a big role in this.

Since I could not escape, I just played along, but won-dered why this prayer was so important it had to be thatway. In a sense, I was both there and not there, my mindalternating between praying and getting distracted. Pre-tension reigned ofen.

It was only late in my youth, while I was already sep-arated rom the amily to study in Manila, and thereorequite independent but aware I had to end or mysel, thatI realized how important this prayer was. For a start, itgave me a tremendous calming effect.

o a person who was extremely excitable and sensitiveas I was—though I would also know how to cover these

traits—the rosary was most welcome. It gave me time andspace to breathe and consider things more calmly.

But I soon discovered other more important aspects othis Marian prayer. I realized the value o vocal prayers.What I tended to take or granted actually containedprecious ideas. I somehow discerned a certain beauty inthem, ar removed rom merely physical beauty and tran-sitory worldly pleasures.

And so to prevent me rom alling into mere mechani-cal praying, I would ocus on some phrases o the prayers,one at a time, and try to understand and athom theirmeaning and figure out how they can affect my lie.

Tat’s when I relished the reality o God being a atherto me, o what my attitude should be toward him, what Ican expect rom him, what I ought to ask rom him, etc.

Also, that Mary is such a wonderul mother who is a mostworthy model to ollow, the most competent teacher withrespect to the virtues I ought to develop, etc.

More importantly, the rosary would start to give me aglobal picture o the redemptive lie o Christ which I usedto take or granted. Even a cursory meditation o the mys-teries o the rosary would elicit all kinds o insights andconsiderations that I elt were very useul to me. I coulduse the youth-speak o ‘cool’ to describe them.

With the rosary, I get the sensation that I am seeing thedifferent parts o the lie Christ through the eyes o Mary,the one who understood perectly the lie o Christ andconormed hersel to it is the most intimate way.

In other words, the rosary helped me to be a practicalcontemplative right in the middle o the world, teachingme how to see things through the eyes o aith and devo-tion. It inculcated in me a living piety that knows how tobe lived right in the midst o the secular world.

Tis, to me, is the greatest effect o the rosary. It is in-deed an effective means to instill a supernatural outlookin us, a handy tool to ask or special avors through ourMother’s intercession, a good way to spend time and knowmore about Christ and about her.

I there are pressures to bear, problems to solve, chal-lenges to ace, and even special intentions to pray or, therosary is a good companion. Even when we get visited byinsomnia, the rosary helps us go to sleep.

Especially these days when we are buffeted with allkinds o tension-causing predicaments, the rosary is agood antidote. It puts our mind and heart in their properplace, firmly rooted on Christ and oriented toward him.

It makes us conscious o our human and Christian duties.Te rosary can be done anytime, anywhere. It need not

be finished in one seating. And with the new technologieswhich enable us to ollow it while listening to its recording,it can be done quite easily, even while we are driving.

It’s good to spread this devotion as widely as possible,first in the amily, then in the neighborhood, in schools,

parishes, offices, etc. We can also organize pilgrimages toshrines o our Lady. All these can only have good effectson us all.
