Sierra Madre Environmentalist: Hindi sapat ang pagtitipid sa tubig

Drama sa kapitolyo hinatiang pananaw ng Bulakenyo

Dating Gob. Roberto Obet Pagdanganan Gob. Joselito Jonjon Mendoza

MALOLOS Hindi sapat ang pagtitipidsa tubig upang tugunan ang taun-taongkakulangan sa tubig na inumin ngKalakhang Maynila at patubig ng magsa-saka sa Bulacan na kapwa nagmumulasa Angat Dam.

Ayon sa Sagip Sierra Madre Environ-mental Society (SSMES), kailangan angpolitical will o ang tahasang pagpapa-tupad ng batas para sa proteksyon ngmga watershed ng Angat at Ipo Dam salalawigan ng Bulacan.

Sa kasalukuyan, mas bumaba pa sa200 metro ang sukat ng taas ng tubig sa

Angat Dam na pinagkukunan ng 97porsiyento ng tubig inumin ng Kalak-hang Maynila.

Binigyang diin ng SSMES ang walanghabas na pagkasira ng kabundukansanhi ng pamumutol ng kahoy at pagga-wa ng uling doon, samantalang iginiit niBise Gob. Willy Alvarado na ang kakula-ngan sa tubig ay isa lamang pagpapati-bay ng pagkasira watershed ng dala-wang dam na ilang beses nang nagingbahagi ng kanyang privileged speech saSangguniang Panglalawigan.

Ayon kay Martin Francisco, taga-

pangulo ng SSMES, palaging ipinapayong gobyerno ang pagtitipid sa tubig kungtag-araw, ngunit hindi naman tinu-tugunan ang tunay na ugat ng problemasa kakulangan ng tubig.

Patuloy ang pagkakalbo ng kabun-dukan partikular na ang mga watershed,pero kapos ang pagkilos sa forest protec-tion, ani Francisco at iginiit na 12guwardiya lamang ang itinalaga ng Met-ropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage Sys-tem (MWSS) para magbantay sa 6,600ektaryang Ipo Dam watershed.

Dahil dito, sinabi niya na ang payo ng

gobyerno na magtipid sa tubig ay naka-kahalintulad lamang ng band aid oisang panapal butas lamang, at hindimakakatugon sa taun-taong problema sakakulangan ng tubig sa irigasyon atiinumin ng Metro Manila.

Ayon kay Francisco, higit na dapatmapigilan ang walang habas na timberpoaching o pamumutol ng punongkahoy sa loob ng watershed, maging angpaggawa ng uling kung saan ay mgamaliliit o batang punongkahoy angpinuputol upang gawing uling.

Para sa Commission onElections (Comelec) hindipa pinal ang desisyon saprotestang isinampa niPagdanganan kay Men-doza; samantalang sinabing Liberal Party (LP) namali ang desisyon ng Co-melec en banc at naka-handa silang tulungan siGob. Mendoza na kanilangkaalyado

Bawal ipasok ang sample ballotsa presinto sa araw ng halalanMALOLOSBawal ipasok sa mga pre-sinto ang mga sample ballot na ipami-migay ng mga kandidato sa araw nghalalan, ayon sa mga opisyal ng Commis-sion on Elections (Comelec) sa Bulacanat Gitnang Visayas.

Kaugnay nito, ipinaalala ng Comelecna nasa kamay ng mga mamamayan angtagumpay ng makasaysayang halalan saMayo at pinayuhan nila ang mga botantena makiisa lalo na sa pagbabantay sa mgaposibilidad ng pandaraya.

Ayon kay Abogado Sabino Mejarito,provincial election supervisor sa Bulacan,labag sa batas ang pagpapasok ng mgasample ballot sa loob ng presinto sa arawng halalan.

Ito ay dahil sa ang mga sample ballotna ipinamimigay ng mga tauhan ng mgakandidato sa araw ng halalan ay nabi-bilang sa kategorya ng election para-phernalia.

Bawal na bawal ang mga sample bal-lot sa loob ng polling precinct, ani

Mejarito nang makapanayam ngMa-buhaynoong Miyerkoles, Pebrero 10 sakanyang tanggapan dito sa Malolos.

Ganito rin ang naging pahayag niAbogado Rey Rene Buac, election direc-tor ng Central Visayas.

Matagal nang ipinagbabawal iyan,pero hindi lang nabibigyan ng pansin,ani Buac sa 32 mamamahayag na lu-mahok sa tatlong araw na pagsasanayhinggil sa pamamahayag sa halalan namay temang Ready for the Elections.

Ang seminar-workshop na pinangu-nahan ng Philippine Press Institute(PPI) kasama ang The Coca-Cola ExportCorporation (TCCEC) ay isinagawa saWaterfront Hotel sa Lahug, Lungsod ngCebu noong Pebrero 2 hanggang 4.

Jonjon, Among Ed kapwa talo sa protesta8 at 11, ayon sa pagkaka-sunod.

Ngunit magkaiba angnaging sitwasyon sa dala-wang magkatabing lala-wigan sa Gitnang Luzon.

Sa Bulacan, binarika-dahan ang mga kalsadangpapasok sa bakuran ngkapitolyo kung saan mag-kahiwalay na nagtipon ang

taga-suporta nina Gob.Jonjon at dating Gob. Ro-berto Obet Pagdanga-nan; at halos dalawangaraw din natigil ang ope-rasyon ng Kapitolyo dahilsa ikinandado ang mgapinto nito mula noong Mar-tes, Pebrero 9.

Sa Pampanga, nana-tiling bukas ang mga kal-

sada at ang mga pinto ngkapitolyo, at higit sa lahat,hindi nabalam ang ope-rasyon ng pamahalaangpanlalawigan, partikularna ang paghahatid ng mgaserbisyo.

Ipinahayag ni Gob. Jon-jon na hindi siya bababa sapuwesto, lalaban siya hang-gang sa Korte Suprema.

Sinabi naman ni Pagdang-anan noong Martes ng gabina dapat igalang ni KuyaJonjon ang batas.

Iginiit ni Pagdangananna malinaw ang isinasaadng resolusyon ng Comelecat siya ang tunay na halalna gobernador ng Bulacan;ngunit para sa kampo niMendoza null and void o

walang bisa ang resolus-yong ipinalabas ng Comelecen banc noong Pebrero 8.

Ang nasabing resolus-yon ay kumatig sa naunangdesisyon ng Ikalawang Di-bisyon ng Comelec na ipi-nalabas noong Disyembre 1na nagpawalang bisa saproklamasyon kay KuyaJonjon noong 2007, at nag-atas sa kanya na bakan-tehin ang tanggapan ngpunong lalawigang upangmagbigay daan kay Pag-danganan.

Batay sa desisyon ngIkalawang Dibisyon ngComelec, lumamang si Pag-danganan ng 2,341 botokayMendoza sa halalannoong 2007.

Narito ang aktuwal nabahagi ng 11-pahinangresolusyong inilabas ngComelec en banc noongLunes, Pebrero 8:

Accordingly, the Com-mission En Banc herebyISSUES a WRIT of EX-ECUTION directing theProvincial Election Super-visor of Bulacan, in coordi-nation with the DILG Pro-vincial Operations Officerto implement the resolu-tion of the Commission(Second Division)) datedDecember 1, 2009 and thisResolution of the Commis-sionEn Banc by orderingJOSELITO R. MENDOZAto CEASE and DESISTfrom performing the func-tions of the Governor of theProvince of Bulacan and VACATE said office in fa-vor of ROBERTO M. PAG-DANGANAN.

Ayon kay Kuya Jonjonat mga abogadong sinaCarlo Jollete Fajardo atEnrique Dela Cruz, walangbisa ang nasabing reso-lusyon, dahil hindi sapatang bilang ng komisyunerna bumoto ng pabor kayPagdanganan.

Tatlo sa 7 komisyunerang pumabor kay Pagda-nganan, isa ang bumoto ngpabor kay Kuya Jonjon, attatlo ang hindi nakibahagisa botohan.

The regions and areas in theULB collectively contributeabout 55% of the countrys GDP.

With hopes to eventuallytransform the area into a globallycompetitive logistics and serviceshub, the government, togetherwith the private sector, has in-vested in infrastructure, power,and the development of a skilledworkforce.

The government is strength-ening the ULBs infrastructureby investing in the development

of major airports, namely theDiosdado Macapagal Interna-tional Airport (DMIA) and theNAIA International PassengerTerminal 3 Expansion Project,spurring growth in the businessand tourism sectors.

Complementing the airports isthe development of the Subic Bayand Batangas Ports, interna-tional standard seaport projectsconnecting the Northern andSouthern parts of the super re-gion.

The Arroyo Administrationalso constructed, rehabilitated,and improved 4,406.77 kms. ofroads and 17,904.50 kms. of brid-ges from 2001 to 2009. Construc-

tion projects connecting CentralLuzon, NCR, and CALABARZONare also underway.

These projects link the supplychain from free ports to the com-mercial centers and economic zo-nes. The reduced travel time alsoeases up traffic and substantiallylowers the cost of goods.

To provide safe, reliable, andenvironment-friendly transpor-tation services, the governmentand the private sector invested ineight railway and commuter trainprojects. The government alsocommissioned six power plants inLuzon to ensure the stable sup-ply of power to support thegrowth within the ULB.

Because of these infrastruc-ture investments, the Philip-pines ranking in the WorldBanks Logistics Performance In-dex report climbed up to 44 in2010 from 65 in 2007 and ULBsregional economies expanded by39% from P570.83 billion in 2002to P793.22 billion in 2008.

The ULB accounts for almost59% of national revenues. Withits development, government rev-enues from tax collection also in-creased by 33% from P501.58 bil-lion in 2005 to P667.38 billion in2007. ULBs growth also gener-ated more jobs, with employmentincreasing from 88% in 2000 to91% in 2009. PMS

Mendoza o PagdangananMARAMING mga Bulakenyo angnaguguluhan, sino raw ba talagaang punong lalawigan ng Bula-can? Si Mendoza o si Pagda-nganan?

Pagkatapos ng halalan noong2007 ay naupo si Gob. JoselitoJonjon Mendoza bilang gober-nador ng lalawigan ng Bulacan.

Dahil sa protesta ni datingGob. Roberto Obet M. Pagda-nganan na isinampa sa Commis-sion on Elections (Comelec) labankay Mendoza, nagpalabas ngresolusyon ang Comelec na nag-sasabing si Pagdanganan angnagwagi sa halalan noong 2007.

Hindi minaganda ni Mendozaang resolusyon at umapela siyasa Korte Suprema, na hanggangsa kasalukuyan ay wala pangipinalalabas na desisyon angKataas-taasang Hukuman.

Sana naman ay madaliin ngKorte Suprema ang kanilangdesisyon nang hindi parehongumasa ang magkabilang panig.

Buo o putol na katotohanan?SA digmaan, ang unang biktima ay katotohanan, ayon sa isangdokumentaryo hinggil sa mga digmaang tinutukan ng mga mamamahayagna ipinalabas sa telebisyon ilang taon na ang nakakaraan.

Ang pananaw na ito maiuugnay din sa kasalukuyang dramang

pampulitika sa kapitolyo ng Bulacan kung saan ay dalawang lalaki angumaangkin ng tagumpay sa halalan para sa pagka-gobernador nglalawigan noong 2007.

Ako ang nagwagi, dahil ako ang ibinoto ng mas nakararaming Bula-kenyo, ayon kay Gob. Joselito Jonjon Mendoza. Ngunit para kay datingGob. Roberto Obet Pagdanganan, dapat nang bumaba sa puwesto siMendoza at igalang ang resolusyon ng Commission on Elections (Comelec)en banc na inilabas noong Lunes, Pebrero 8.

Ang nasabing resolusyon ay kumatig sa naunang desisyon ngikalawang dibisyon ng Comelec na inilabas noong Disyembre 1 nanagpawalang bisa sa proklamasyon kay Mendoza at nag-atas sa kanyana bakantehin ang tanggapan ng punong lalawigan upang magbigay daankay Pagdanganan.

Para sa mga Bulakenyong nagmamasid sa mga kaganapan sakapitolyo, kalituhan at pagkakahati-hati ang bunga ng nasabing resolusyonng Comelec en banc dahil sa ang magkabilang panig ay kapwa may mgataga-suporta na naniniwala sa dalawang magiting na lider na kapwa nag-aangkin sa tagumpay.

Batay sa mga pananalita ng magkabilang panig, inaangkin din nila

na sila ang biktima ng kasalukuyang sitwasyon. Sa panig ni Mendoza,sinasabi niya na siya ay pinagtutulung-tulungan at inaapi; para namankay Pagdanganan, matagal na siyang naghihintay ng katarungan.

Ngunit sila nga ba ang biktima ng dramang pampulitika sa kapitolyokung saan tampok ang pagbabarikada sa mga kalasada, pagtitipon atpagdarasal ng mga taga-suporta ng magkabilang panig, at pagkakandadosa gusali ng kapitolyo na pansamantalang pumigil sa paghahatid ngpamahalaang panglalawigan ng serbisyo sa mamamayang Bulakenyo?

Sila nga ba ang mga biktima o ang sambayanang Bulakenyo at angkatotohanang magpapalaya sa bawat isa, ngunit patuloy na nalilingid sasambayanan? Sino nga ba ang tunay na nagwagi bilang gobernador sahalalan noong 2007? Si Mendoza o si Pagdanganan?

Kung ang ating pagbabatayan ay ang kasalukuyang pananaw atkultura sa pulitika sa bansa na tigang at dahop sa pagiging maginoo,masasabing kapwa sila nanalo. Ito ay dahil sa wala daw natatalo sa pulitikasa bansa, nadadaya lang.

Kung ganoon, sino naman ang nandaya? May nandaya ba sa bilanganng boto noong 2007 at sa pagrebisa ng Comelec sa mga balotangiprinotesta? Kung wala, sino ang tunay na nanalo?

Isa sa mga dapat sumagot sa katanungang iyan ay ang Comelec

dahil sila ang pangunahing ahensiya ng pamahalaan na nangunguna sapagsasagawa ng halalan. Sila ang dapat tumindig at maghayag ngkatotohanang hindi lamang magpapalaya, sa halip ay magbibigkis sasambayanang Bulakenyo na nagluwal sa magigiting na bayani ng mgahimagsikan at rebolusyon sa mga nagdaang panahon.

Samantala, nararapat lamang na maging mapagbantay, mapagsuri,mapagtanong para sa kalinawan at katotohanan ang bawat Bulakenyoupang ang minanang kadakilaan mula sa mga bayani ng bayan at mgatanging alagad ng sining na iniluwal ng liping Bulakenyo ay hindi masayang.

Mga kababayan, mailap pa rin sa ating ang katotohanan kayat patuloynating hanapin ang buong katotohanan. Ito ang magpapalaya sa atin, hindiang mga lider-pulitikong may mga lihim na interes kayat ang hatid lamangay putol na katotohanan.

Sumunod ay ang sistemati-kong pagbili, pagsuhol at pag-ligaw sa mga oportunista, masi-sibang tonggresista (sa pangu-nguna ni Espiker De Venecia)para ibasura kaagad ang de-mokratikong proseso ng pagpapa-talsik ang paghahain ng im-peachment complaints.

Pagkaraan, bilang pagsuboksa Korte Suprema, hinalukay atginamit ni GMA ang lahat ngpoder at prerogative ng Presi-dentenagpalabas ng mga kau-tusang tagapagpaganapsa ma-kinis na pagsikil sa kalayaan ngtaumbayan, na kaagad ibinasurang Korte Suprema.

Hindi tumigil saglit man angMalakanyang sa pag-iisip, pag-gamit ng lahat ng pakana, paraanat taktikapara hindi mapatal-sik si Aling Gloria sa Malakan-yang, tulad ng charter change ocha-chasa pamamagitan muna

ng peoples initiative, pagkaraanay Con-Ass, nitong huli ay Con-Con naman.

At hanggang ngayong matata-pos na ang pinagdududahan ha-los isumpang may 10 taong pa-mamahala ni Pangulong Maca-pagal-Arroyo, hindi pa rin maka-alis ang bansa sa bingit ng pag-katakotsa panghuhula sa bina-balak ni Pangulong Macapagal- Arroyokung paano makapa-nanatiling nasa kapangyarihanpara maiwasan ang katakut-takot na hablang isasampa sakanya pagkatapos ng kanyangtermino.

Sa unang pagdaraos ng auto-mated election sa Mayo 10, na-natiling nagdududa at nag-aala-ala ang mamamayan, na bakamabigo ang halalano sadyainang failure of electionparamakapanatili pa si Aling Gloriasa poder.

Pero dahil malinaw na hindipa mauupo si Pagdanganan noon,hindi pa inawit ni Father Pedringang kantang close open. Sahalip, ang kanyang inawit ayabaruray, abarinding.

Pulitika sa Meycauayan

TATLO ang naghahangad namaging alkalde sa bayan ngMeycauayan. Sila ay sina kasa-lukuyang Mayor Joan Alarilla,kasalukuyang Bise Alkalde BogsViolago at dating Mayor DanDaez.

Si Alarilla ay nahalal na alka-lde, bago pa man sumakabilangbuhay ang kanyang kabiyak nasi dating alkalde Eddie Alarilla atkasabay niyang nahalal si BiseAlkalde Bogs Violago.

Si ex-Mayor Dan Daez aynaupong alkalde noong 1986matapos ang EDSA Revolution.

Ayon sa ilang taga-Meycau-ayan na aming nakausap, walaraw nakasisiguro sa tatlongkandidato. Pare-pareho raw maykanya-kanyang lakas ang tatlo.

Sa tatlong nabanggit ay mashigit na kilala si Daez dahilmadalas ako sa Meycauayannoong siya ang mayor noon.

Pulitika sa 4th district ng Bulacan

NAPAG-UUSAPAN na rin la-mang ang pulitika, tukuyin nanatin ang 4th district na binubuong mga bayan ng Obando, Mey-cauayan, Marilao at Sta. Maria.Nahiwalay ang San Jose delMonte dahil naging lone districtna ito.

Dalawa ang naglalaban sapagka-kinatawan ng ika-apat nadistrito, Sina Linabelle Villaricang Meycauayan at Ador Pleyto nataga Sta. Maria.

Maugong ang balita na siPleyto ay ikinakampanya ni Kint.Neneng Nicolas.

Samantalang si Villarica aykinakampanya sa bayan-bayanng distrito na kasama ang kanyang mga masusugid na mgalider at mga tagahanga.

Sa sarili kong palagay medyollamado si Villarica sa labanan saika-apat na distrito. Sabi namanni Mang Andoy ng Obando, surewin daw si Villarica.

Kayo, ano sa palagay ninyo?

sacrifice. In such desperate occa-sions I usually turn to my Guard-ian Angel for ideas. He wasntvery much up to it either.

I started tinkering with pos-sible titles like A ValentinesCard from Heaven or A Christ-mas Greeting on ValentinesDay but I could not bring outanything from them except theirempty catchy titles. I then real-ized how funny it is when onethought leads to another in therandom threads and colors of myimagination to finally come outwith: An Arrow or Song for inthe Heart.

Heres how it came out. Firststage of imagination: I recalled adessert that mom bakes. Secondstage: she made this heart-

An arrow or a song for the heart

THAT was the drift of an articleI read recently. The president ofthe Institute for the Works of Re-ligion, aka Vatican Bank, EttoreGotti Tedeschi, claimed thatbankers are not the cause of thecurrent global economic crisis,but rather the low birth rate ob-taining in many countries thesedays.

The true cause of the crisis isthe decline in the birth rate, hesaid. The cause is ordinary peoplewho do not believe in the fu-ture, and have few or no chil-dren. The bankers and other eco-nomic players are only agents andtools of an ailing social structurethat needs to be transformed.

The Vatican economist saidthat since people are not anymoreinterested in having children, weare creating a negative economiccontext that can only lead to re-cession.

He noted that in Western de-veloped countries, the birth ratehas fallen to 0%, i.e., 2 childrenor less per family. This can onlymean impending disaster to saidcountries.

I personally feel there is atleast a correlation between low

Q. WHAT utilities could be pro-vided within the UNIDA housingclusters?

A. The clusters could generatetheir own electric power tosupplement the local electric sup-ply. The alternate energy sourcecould be turned on and off de-pending on the price and avail-ability of the local power source.They could also improve upon thepower quality by controlling thepower surges through a central-ized Universal Power Supply(UPS). They could also improveupon the water supply through acentralized water filtering sys-tem, thus saving the residentsfrom the costs of buying filteredwater. As an alternative to buy-ing Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG),the clusters could pipe in meth-ane gas through a centralizedbiogas digester. Commonly useditems such as cooking oil, vinegarand liquid detergents could also

be piped into the homes. Depend-ing on local conditions and appli-cable franchise rules, the clusterscould also operate as retail dis-tributors of telecom services suchas cable television, telephony andInternet access. All of these ser-vices could be owned and oper-ated by cooperatives.

Q. Where will the UNIDAhousing clusters be located?

A. All the UNIDA housingclusters will be located near thetrain stations and the bus sta-tions. This will correct the com-mon error in previous housingprograms wherein beneficiariesobtained access to affordablehousing, but could not get accessto affordable means of transpor-tation.

ample, deployed candidatesagainst those from the Ampa-tuan-Abutazil stem.

Manguindanaos populationgrow by 5.4 percent. This doublesthe national growth rate of 2.04percent. It outpaced Metro Cebu,and 79 other provinces (ExcludeDinagat. The Supreme Court juststruck this islet from the rolls.)

In all regions, populationgrowth is easing except in the Autonomous Region of MuslimMindanao. Yet, this impoverishedeconomically stagnant regiongrew, by 3.7 percent. None of 177countries, tracked by UN Devel-opment Report 2009, resemblesthis bloating.

Is this statistically possible?asked Asian Development Banksenior statistician DalisayMaligalig at the Philippine Popu-lation Association meeting. Of

course not.But there are more things in

heaven and on earth, Horatio,than are dreamt of in your phi-losophy? one reads in Hamlet.Like AK15 rifles unearthed in Ampatuan gardens. 50. Riggedelections grow from the barrel ofa gun, to paraphrase Mao ZeDong.

Are you sure ka na ba? thedazed observer is apt to ask. Ex-cept for those aged 10, the larg-est age group in Maguindanao is18, notes Joel Landingin of Phil-ippine Center for InvestigativeJournalism. On turning 18, oneis qualified to vote.

Look at the youth surgechart painstakingly crafted bydemographers from UP, Xavier toSan Carlos University. The thirdcluster of those aged 30 to 59 with a huge glob of 18 year olds is largest in Maguindanao.

Senators Benigno Aquino andManuel Villar lead todays packof 10 presidentiables, tied at 37to 35 percent. Each was preferredby just over a third of total vot-ers interviewed, political scientistJose V Abueva points out.

Why did dad have such a pro-found interest in memorizing po-ems, majority of which wereabout love? Roses are red, vio-lets are blue Undoubtedly, thisgave him something up his sleeveto recite and woo the woman heloved.

Q. How will the UNIDA hous-ing clusters be funded?

A. The funds that will be usedfor the acquisition of the real es-tate properties could either comefrom the local government units(LGUs) or from the cooperatives.The LGUs could be the origina-tors of the housing projects, butin order to sustain the long termexpansion of this approach, theywould have to be refunded by thedevelopers of the project, whichin this case are the cooperatives.Construction costs will also befunded by the cooperatives.

Q. What are the advantages ofcooperative housing?

A. Cooperatives are exemptedfrom paying import duties andfrom the payment of Value AddedTaxes (VAT). That means thatthey will be saving a lot of moneywhen they import constructionmaterials and equipment or ifthey will buy these from local re-

tailers.Q. What are the advantages ofcooperative processing?

A. Since the cooperatives haveduty free and VAT free privileges,they could also save money whenthey buy materials, equipmentand other supplies for the opera-tion of centralized processing fa-cilities. These pieces of equip-ment could be in the form of dri-ers, shredders and extractors. Ifthey have these pieces of equip-ment, they could dry, shred orextract juices and oils from anyfruit or vegetable, or any form ofanimal product.

Q. How can cooperative hous-ing help the environment?

DREAM the dreams that havenever been dreamt, urged DavidBower. And dont allow thatdream to go into oblivion. If otherpeople have reached theirdreams, surely you can do, too.Langston Hughes reminded,Hold fast to dreams for if dreamsdie, life is a broken winged birdthat cannot fly.

When we were young, we haddreams and expectations. Weimagine things. We keep think-ing about what we want to be,what we want to do, what makesus proud and happy, and what wewill become. Dream loftydreams, and as you dream, so youshall become, James Allen said.Your vision is the promise ofwhat you shall one day be andyour ideal is the prophecy of whatyou shall at last unveil.

But things seemed like havingtheir own way when we grew up.We accept our successes or fail-ures and we move on. The rapidchange, the need to do the urgentthings, the works, the pressuresand the failures, all kill part ofour visions.

Phillips Brooks reminded,The ideal life is in our blood andnever will be still. Sad will be theday for any man when he be-comes contented with thethoughts he is thinking and thedeeds he is doing -- where thereis not forever beating at the doorsof his soul some great desire todo something larger, which heknows that he was meant andmade to do.

Yes, things may have changed(we become older and wiser; oth-ers got married while a few re-

mained single), but these changescannot really take away ourdreams. When you cease todream, you cease to live,Malcolm S. Forbes commented.

At one time, a highly success-ful businessman was once asked.How have you done so much inyour lifetime? the reporter in-quired. This was his reply: Ihave dreamed. I have turned mymind loose to imagine what Iwanted to do. Then I have goneto bed and thought about mydreams. In the night I dreamtabout my dreams. And when Iawoke in the morning, I saw theway to make my dreams real.While other people were saying,You cant do that, it isnt pos-sible, I was well on my way toachieving what I wanted.

Remember what did NobelPeace Prize winner WoodrowWilson say before? We growgreat by dreams. All big men aredreamers, said the 28th Ameri-can president. Pulitzer prize-win-ning author Pearl S. Buck alsosaid, There are many ways ofbreaking a heart. Stories werefull of hearts being broken bylove, but what really broke aheart was taking away its dream-- whatever that dream mightbe.

When a dream takes hold of you, what can you do? askedPatch Adams. You can run withit, let it run your life, or let it goand think for the rest of your lifeabout what might have been.

If along the way, you have ahard time making your dreamcome true, try again and again.

birth rate and recession. I wontgo so far as to affirm a cause-and-effect link, since there are just somany factors affecting the dy-namics to isolate low birth rateas the cause of recession.

But I also believe that lowbirth rate is a significant factor,if not the defining one. We in theend are the ultimate resource re-sponsible for our economicgrowth. Of course, its not justnumbers that matter, but also thequality. Just the same, all thingsconsidered equal, the more weare the better we are going to be.

We just have to make the nec-essary investment, the necessarysacrifice, trying to make it effec-tive and productive, so that wecan put everyone in his best con-dition to be assets not liabilitiesto our economic development, aswell as in the other aspects of ourgrowth. Education and continu-ing formation should be a primeconcern.

My exposure to different fami-lies leads me to conclude that thebigger family more than thesmaller one is better able to fendoff all sorts of difficulties and totackle all sorts of challenges.

Of course, this is easier saidthan done. In real time, the dy-namics can be so complicated todare to simplify it with sometheoretical guidelines. For sure,there are moments, when asmaller family would have theadvantage over the bigger one.

But we cant stop there. Thereare short-term and long-termconsiderations to be made, and aproper blending and schedulingof these aspects is important. Inany event, some amount of sacri-fice is unavoidable, and we shouldbe ready for it.

To me this question of the re-lationship between populationlevel and our economic statusshould not be framed only withinpurely economic and financialterms. That would impoverishthe analysis of the issue.

We always have to considerthe moral and spiritual dimen-sion, since we are not only eco-nomic entities, but firstly andlastly, moral and spiritual per-sons. Much of the economic cri-sis we are suffering can be tracedto moral and spiritual causesvices, laziness, greed, lack of care

Prusisyon ng Sto. Nio sa Baliwag

Believe in yourself and what youcan do. A little boy walked into a largefirm one day and asked for a job. Hewas so small, the owner was amused.What is your motto, my son? heasked. The same as yours, was thebrisk reply.

The owner was puzzled. What isthat? he asked again. Why? theboy answered, the motto you haveon the door there it said PUSH!

The boy got the job.Never give up

Yes, never give up what you havealready started. As one poet puts it,When care is pressing you down abit, rest if you must, but dont youquit. Life is queer with its twists andturns, as every one of us sometimeslearns, and many a failure turnsabout when he might have won hadhe stuck it out.

Dreaming is not only for the chil-dren, but for the old folks as well.Whatever our age is, we still have todream on, to visualize our desires, ourwants, our vision of our future, evenwhen we are considered too old forsuch things. Cornel Sanders startedhis business when he was sixty, andstarted the whole successful KFC

business. The main thing is not theage -- whether being too old, or tooyoung, but it is the desire to dreamon, and the courage to realize it.

Dream the impossible

Do you still remember the themesong of the movie, The Man from LaMancha? The two paragraphs wentlike this: To dream the impossibledream, to fight the unbeatable foe, to

bear with unbearable sorrow, to runwhere the brave dare not go. To rightthe unrightable wrong, to love pureand chaste from afar, to try whenyour arms are too weary, to reach theunreachable star.

Star reminds me of the movie,Bituing Walang Ningning. The pro-tagonist dreams of becoming like heridol one day. But she was told, Yourenothing but a second-rate trying hardcopy cat. This drives her to evendream bigger that she could everimagine. And becomes a bigger starthan her idol.

Always dream and shoot higherthan you know you can do, WilliamFaulkner pointed out. Dont botherjust to be better than your contem-poraries or predecessors. Try to bebetter than yourself.

Ability to dream

The ability to dream on is one ofthe fine qualities of human race thatother species do not possess, some-one once explained. So dream on, andput a deadline: make it a giant dream,a tiny one, an old everlasting one, anewfound one, a hobby related one,a change of life one, a religious one, astupid one, a stroke-of-genius one, or

just whatever -- just continue todream on.Dreams come true; without that

possibility, nature would not incite usto have them, John Updike said.

for the others, and worse, lack of faith and charity.There are now many studies that reinforce the thesis

that in the end the main cause of our current global cri-sis is precisely our crisis in the spiritual and moral life.We are spending more than we earn.

Theres a lot of imprudence in our spending behavior,focusing more on instant comfort and pleasure than onproductive investments, on self-seeking than on solidar-ity.

What happened in the States regarding the sub-primecrisis, what is happening in Dubai and in Greece now,are all indicative of a lifestyle that is more wasteful thanproductive. Perhaps, we can say they are getting whatthey deserve, a comeuppance they have been building upthemselves.

Its a lifestyle that is afraid of the authentic responsi-bilities and sacrifices in life. It tends to create a fictionalworld, its own version of the land of milk and honey. Itluxuriates in consumerism and all forms of hedonism andintemperance. It is allergic to having children, to caringand bringing children up to maturity. They even kill ba-bies.

It is this sick mindset that needs to be broken andreplaced with a healthy one. Now, do we like to get intothat anti-life culture? Lets be very careful with thingslike the RH bill. Lets elect leaders who are truly compe-tent, with integrity and pro-life, pro-God, pro-country.

ship and love was composed by none other than H.W.Longfellow.

The entire poem reads as follows:

I Shot An Arrow Into The Air

I shot an arrow into the air,It fell to earth, I knew not where;For, so swiftly it flew, the sightCould not follow it in its flight.I breathed a song into the air,It fell to earth, I knew not where;For who has sight so keen and strong,That it can follow the flight of song?Long, long afterward, in an oakI found the arrow, still unbroke;And the song, from beginning to end,I found again in the heart of a friend.

Reading through it again reminds me how dad oncetold me the lesson he had learned from the poem. In hissimple way of explaining lifes many wonderful realities,he said in more or less these words: The arrow would bethe bad things we say or do. The hurt that it causes ishard to uproot from anothers heart. But if you sing asong, our kind words and deeds it will not only con-tinue to be sung, but it will be treasured forever in theheart of someone we love.

When it comes to loving, there can really be only twopossibilities for mans heart: loving self (the small heart)or loving God (the big heart, and this naturally includes

Forward to Basics from page 5ones neighbors). As Valentines Day approaches, its goodto ask ourselves: How have I spent my life up to now?Have I been shooting arrows or singing songs? What willI be remembered for one day, when I would have passedaway, for the arrows or for the songs?

On the other hand, Gods love for us comes to us mys-teriously in both forms: consoling as a song and some-times painful like an arrow. We are more inclined to hearGod singing to us His blessings and graces: when ourprayers are answered, when we see light in the midst oftrials, when we are consoled and forgiven.

We are not so open, however, to the arrows or dartsof His love, and yet they are the most important ones.Remember Simeon prophesied something along the samelines to Mary: and a sword will pierce through your ownsoul.

How then can God even think of piercing the heartsof His loved ones here on earth? This is strange but weunderstand this is His way of purifying our hearts of at-tachments to earthly things and sin. Once emptied ofthese temporal deadweights will the person trust only inHim and have space within the heart only for His loveand peace.

Now our pierced and converted hearts are capable ofmuch more love! Now they can shoot piercing songs backto Gods heart when our prayers, sacrifices and goodworks offered with the intention of saying, doing and lov-ing only and in all things the will of our Father God.

As in the 1992, 1998 and 2004 elections, the next Presi-dent will sweep into Malacaang by a plurality of thevotes, not a majority. The winner will be the one whoadds to actual votes he secured, plus those he corralledfrom other losing candidates. That includes Estradas 13percent, if he doesnt quit.

Will 18-year old spook voters of Maguindanao, andother ARRM provinces, tip the scales? They could, if aflawed census and padded registration lists are not exor-cised before May 10.

Our answers have been prayered, an Amptuan par-tisan explained. The May election could see Maguindanaoas brand as new. Chuckle or weep.

and the housing clusters in particular could organize thecollection of factory returnable post consumer waste,which could all be sold to the buying stations. In addi-tion, they could also produce fertilizers, fermented prod-ucts, fine arts items (crafts), filler materials, fuel ingre-dients and other functional materials from the segregatedwaste. These are the six Fs of recycling as expounded byDr. Metodio Palaypay, MD.

Q. What is the correlation of the environment to HDI?A. The poor people are the first victims of natural di-

sasters and manmade destructions. When disasters strike,poverty rate go up as people lose their means of liveli-

hood. The mortality also goes up as disaster fatalities arecounted. Consequently, the illiteracy rate also goes up asthe people lose the support mechanisms to go to school.

Q. What are the scientific ways of reducing environ-mental damage?

A. Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and DisasterRisk Reduction (DRR) are the known scientific ways ofreducing environmental damage, as acknowledged bymost international organizations. To these two, theUNIDA has added the new scientific way of Environmen-tal Re-Engineering (ERE) which should be a step priorto CCA and DRR.
