Palo, Leyte Mayors
across the region attended
a two-day seminar-work-
shop on Public Private
Partnership yesterday.
Palo mayor and Leyte
pre s ident of mayorsleague Remedios Petilla
said that the gathering was
the result of a unied deci-
sion made by LMP presi-
dents in Eastern Visayas
to gather all municipal
mayors in the region for
one event which would
help them in the gover-
nance especially on the
sourcing out funds for
project implementation.
This is a good venue
for mayors to learn and
express what we really
want to learn and imple-
ment to our municipali-ties, Petilla in her speech
said.
There are problems
along the way but if we
will look into what we
can do together then the
problem would be much
easier to solve if we are
all working together, she
added.
Petilla added that said
seminar-workshop would
also allow mayors to look
and share with their fel-
low mayors programs of
best practices that some
municipalities are imple-menting which they can
replicate in their area.
The two-day event
was graced by Hapinoy
Founder Benigno Bam
Aquino who discussed
Social Entrepreneurship
and Department of Energy
Secretary Carlos Jericho
Petilla who shares his
expertise and experience
in implementation of PPP
projects while he was still
the governor of Leyte.

Movies in the past portrayed
simple shootouts, like my fa-
vorite cowboy lms the Lone
Ranger with his American In-
dian sidekick Tonto, and Rin
Tin Tin, a legendary story of an
amazing dog.
Now gory killings shown
in theaters and televisions are
the food for the young brains
thought to be part of the normal
life. Youths conscience is seared
without fear of vengeance, notby relatives of victims, but by
the unseen power in Heaven. For
some criminals there is no God.
The recent killings by the doz-
en are no longer normal. We are
living an abnormal environment.
It is a sign of the fruit of the el-
ders who did not stick to their
Law-abiding citizens shall be deprived with firearm for self-defense.
The present society is a crop of movies depicting violence.
God-given responsibility to
nurture their children.
The fear to be imprison-
ment for a long period in
the penitentiary is removed
after the illegal possession
of rearms penalty was
lowered to shorten Robin
Padillas incarceration. A
co-artist turned Senator Ra-
mon Revilla, Jr., sponsored
the law. Senator Revilla has
a good intent but turned to
a bad effect. It is similar
to the Juvenile Justice and
Welfare Act sponsored by
Senator Francis Kiko
Pangilinan, now becoming
the headache of society.
The Robin Padilla Law
or Revilla Law cut short
the stay in prison of Actor
Padilla. Republic Act No.
8294 reduced the minimum
sentence to six years from
17 years for illegal pos-
session of short rearms,
and to eight years from 21
years for long rearms.Now, because of the
shooting rampage done by
Ronald Baquiran Bae kill-
ing seven and wounding12
innocent people using a
handgun assisted by John
Paul Lopez who did the re-
wards poor thieves and those high ranking rob-
bers who pose to grab credit and all rom theprojects made out o peoples taxes.
Most prominent are pictures o chie execu-tives o local governments whose aces are seen
everywhere within their territory. Such practiceis owing to the act that the implementation is
under the local chie executive. Programs and
projects are thereore realized through the nalact o the local chie executive than any o the
other offi cials o the locality. Tis is the reasonwhy all other offi cials who had actually done
their share in realizing a program or project areconcealed in the background o the main play-
ers.
Aside rom the local chie executive however,we ofen see the representative in congress or
the governor and senator who extended undsor the project as also credited in the bannered
project sign, with their equally large pictures
conjugal or amily affair. Te utter shamelessness oclaiming things as i o the amily when in truth are
unded by public unds is common practice amongpoliticians. One need not look too ar to know that
these politicians whose aces are bannered in largeprint sinages are using taxpayers money or their
projects. Yet they put their pictures with their large
print names to announce as i the project is theirown. But the public does not mind at this practice
as they know too well that the unds behind thoseshameless aces are actually theirs.
Te practice is in essence thievery o the highestorder as it poses claim over a thing not belonging to
the claimant. It truly is ironic that we are inuriatedat the sight o street snatchers and pickpockets grab-

THE CLEANSING OF A LEPER
There was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where [Jesus]was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, andsaid, Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean. Jesus stretched outhis hand, touched him, and said, I do will it. Be made clean. And theleprosy left him immediately. Then he ordered him not to tell anyone,but Go, show yoursel f to the pri est and offer for your cleansing whatMoses prescribed; that will be proof for them. The report about himspread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him andto be cured of their ailments, but he would withdraw to deserted placesto pray.
WE CAN OVERCOME
God cannot create evil and so he is not responsible for disease,pain, and dea th. They are simply the natural result of human beingsdisobedience to God. Pain and disease are the outward and visiblefruits of the hidden and unseen disease of evil in human nature. Canwe overcome the world of evil? Yes we can, by faith in Jesus Christ.St. John asks, Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believesthat Jesus is the Son of God (1 Jn 5:51)? To believe in Jesus Christ isto possess him, and to possess him is to possess eternal life God hasgiven him (v. 12). And hence, to possess Christs life is to overcomedeath, and to overcome death is to overcome the world of evil. Leprosyis one kind of evil. But the leper was cured of his disease when hebelieved in Jesus, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean(LK 5:13). But if we want our faith in Jesus to be powerful enough toovercome evil, it has to be practical. We have to give esh and blood tothe teachings of Jesus in our personal life. There are number of wordsin the Scriptures that hint just how practical our faith in Jesus must be.
One word is race. Christian life is compared to a race. This indicatesthat our faith in Jesus has to urge us to be partners with God in buildinga kingdom on earth, as envisaged by Jesus Christ, a kingdom foundedon truth, justice and love.

loading of bullets into the
magazine, some of the law-
makers want to increase the
penalty or ban civilians to
own a gun. The shooting in
Kawit, Cavite, may turn to
something new for rearmownership. Whether a total
gun ban will be enacted will
depend upon the lawmak-
ers.
If the penalty will be
increased for illegal posses-
sion of rearms and another
actor committed the offense
of carrying without license
or permit to carry outside
residence, the lawmakers
who are now with several
colleagues from the lm in-
dustry may merely lower it
once more, could it be pos-
sible?In year 2009, amnesty
to license loose rearms
was held. Many applied for
it, and one of them own-
ing a revolver caliber .22
submitted his for licensing.
However, like him, many
of those who applied nev-
er received their License
Identication Card. So, he
inquired then Ormoc City
Chief of Police Nilo Don-
ayre who replied that even
his is not yet received.
The man forgot all about
it until the announcementthat those expired license
not renewed before the
2012 year ended shall be
subject to criminal prosecu-
tion for illegal possession.
So, sometime in the month
of the recent December he
went to the Ormoc City
Police Ofce and inquired
about the license.
The record was search
by the policewoman in-
charge and nd out there is
no record of receipt. Instead
she looked into the com-
puter. It manifested the Ad-
min Control No. I-F072253
with date of issue 5/6/2010and expiry of 5/6/2011. It is
clear the gun was issued a
license, but not received.
The man went to PNP
regional ofce at Palo,
Leyte, where he was given
the gure of P4,258 for re-
newal. The total amount

On December 31, he de-

City Police Ofce, and re-
ceipt acknowledged by Po-
lice Senior Inspector Rudy
Hiso Conejo Jr., operations
ofcer. He did deposit the
gun to avoid being accused
of illegal possession of
rearms.According to the police-
man in the Firearms and
Explosive Unit, Region 08,
they received the license
identication card, but no-
body claimed for it; hence
it was returned to Camp
Crame. The man during

It is one event in his

the renewal has a penalty.

The incidents during
the New Year where bullets
killed 2 children and the
deadly random shooting of
8 people in Kawit, Cavite
by a drug-crazed gunman
should push our lawmakers
to revisit our laws on gun
control.
There should be a com-
prehensive regulation of
rearms, ammunitions,
strict requirements for
those applying for guns and
imposing harsher penalties
on the use of unlicensed
rearms.
Civilians should no
longer be given permits to
carry rearms outside their
residence. When this hap-
pens, a lot of lives can be
saved and would have a big
impact on the peace and or-
der situation in the country.
Civilians should keep their
rearms in their homes for
self-defense purpose only.
A gunless society is bet-
ter than one whose citizens
stock rearms out of fear
from lawless elements.
Only members of the mili-
tary and the police should
have rearms in public
places.
There are 800,000 reg-
istered guns and equivalent
number of unregistered
guns in the Philippines.
This means that all the
guns out there are illegal
and could be used for crim-
inal activities.
President Aquino
should support the call for
stricter gun control even
if he is a gun enthusiast.
Gunless Society Founder
Nandy Pacheco has said
the President should cancel
all permits to carry guns
outside homes pending the
approval of a law penaliz-
ing the carrying of rearms
outside residences by un-
authorized persons.
I visited mom last
night and barged into
her room with brother
Mike. The aura just re-
minded me of Grand-
mother Paulita.
Alone in a quitebig house, I reminded
her against leaving the
house all alone by her-
self. That is why daugh-
ter Vida is around, but
ironically occupies one
big room by herself.
Hence, it is only dur-
ing dinner time that the
threesome are together.
I am so glad that
mom has been blessed
with good health. In her
85 years, she has not
been hospitalized forany minor health prob-
lems. But now, I see
another problem. She
is all alone by herself
most of the time, except
when she talks to three
German shepherds who
would just howl when
called in their cages. Of
course Myrna and Albert
are caregivers, but mom
is quite reticent withthem.
Although her sociali-
zation has been reduced,
a certain sadness can be
seen through her deep
set eyes the loss of ac-
tive friendships, includ-
ing religious outings
with friends, visits with
neighbors including
government ofces like
DAR and the DENR. I
check on her regularly,
her breakfast, and her ac-
tivities for the day. I haveyet to coach her what to
do in case of emergency
like earthquakes and re.
The latest was the DAR
assignments I posted on
her wall, lest she forgets.
Mind you, her papers
are organized, complete
with labels, thank you
notes from here andthere, and piles of read
magazine neatly stacked
so I can readily nd what
subscription date I want.
If there is anything I
inherited from moms
unique genetic code, it
is this trait of neatness
and efciency. How
my kids bully me for
my scrupulousness. Her
closet is immaculate,
medicines so secured
and laundry basket nev-
er overows. Also, herplants are never unne-
glected. And I have to
collude with Albert to
smuggle a twig or two
for my personal plant
collections.
If I were moms pri-
mary caregiver, how
relaxing. No pressures,
nor resentments, only
recitals of verses John
Milton, Shakespeare,
Bryant, Emerson and
Robert Frost. A rare,
sweet mom, never incit-
ing riddles and intriguesfrom her siblings. What
a mom! Once more, I
will remind her that be-
ing all alone is not really
a bad idea.

timately close to thelocal chie executive
