More than half a million pesos worth of shabuwere confiscated recently following a searchconducted at the residence of a suspected drugpeddler identified as Melicio Semetara, also known asMichael, in Zone 2, Barangay Looc, Dumaguete City.

Like in most parts of the country the rushingof the passage of the BBL or theBangsamoroBasic Law has elicited cool reactions sayingthe proposed law needs to reflect the true sentimentsof the Filipino nation, not just the Bangsamoro mem-bers.

Participants of the forum at the capitol conventioncenter, to promote the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Lawtook turns in underscoring their serious reservations on thenecessity and practicability of passing such measure, whicheven the team of defenders sent by the Office of the Presi-dent admit will not guarantee a sustainable peace in theregion with the rising of BIFF and Abu Sayaff.

Commissioner Salem Meduna of the National Com-

mission of Muslim Filipinos said that pursuant to the 1979Tripoli Agreement 13 provinces compose the territory ofthe Bangsamoro: Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, Sulu, Zamboanga,Zamboanga Del Norte, Cotabato, Maguindanao, SultanKudarat, Lanao Del Norte, Lanao Del Sur, Davao Del Sur,South Cotabato and Palawan.

The speakers of the forum belonging to the NationalPeace Council, namely, Assistant Secretary of the Officeof the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process JenniferOreta, Floyd Gamino of the National Peace Council andCommissioner Denuma took pains to explain the need,strengths and main features of BBL amid a series of ques-tions, comments and even suggestions to hold in abeyanceCongress approval of the proposed law.

Branding the City of Dumaguete as a murdercapital in the wake of unresolved shooting incidents for many years, caused a verbal jostlebetween members of the Council during its regularsession, Wednesday.

3.8 EQUAKE HITS NegOr

The No Collection policy of the Department ofEducation (DepEd) is being challenged inNegros Oriental, following reports the same isa mere propaganda while collection still exists in theguise of being sanctioned by the Parent TeachersAssociation (PTA) or any other organization.

Liga ng mgaBarangays presidentArnulfo Arnie Teves whosits as ex-officio member ofthe SangguniangPanlalawigan has raised sev-eral concerns for DepEd torespond by inviting NegrosOriental division superin-

tendent of schools DrSalustiano Jimenez duringtheir next regular session.

Provincial government officials from the gover-nor, the presiding officer and members of theSangguniang Panlalawigan have the right to usethe vehicles issued to their respective offices by vir-tue of a Memorandum Receipt (MR) but in the ab-sence of the MR, concerned provincial officials haveno more authority to possess the same.

This was made clearby provincial attorney, Atty.Richard Enojo in response tostatements issued by BoardMember Rommel Eramesthat the governors EO is il-legal, even if he did not availof the vehicle.

According to Enojo, if

A magnitute 3.8 earthquake jolted Negros Orien-tal on Wednesday evening, state seismologistssaid.The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismol-

ogy (Phivolcs) said the quake occurred 17 kilometers south-east of Santa Catalina town at 9:26 p.m.

Phivolcs said it had a depth of 28 kilometers and wastectonic in origin.

It said intensity III was felt in Dumaguete City andSibulan, Negros Oriental.No damages or aftershocks were expected, it added.

May 25, 2015 is a new date in the History ofNegros Island , having been legalized thruExecutive Order 183 as a new administra-tive region in the Philippines signed by PresidentBenigno S. Aquino III..

-o0o-For many it is a dream come true, having been

advocated by our old past leaders notably the lateGov. Dodo Macias, and later his Occidental counter-parts, and political disciples and followers whose con-cept of one Negros Island Region was born out of bu-reaucratic frustration from his equally energetic , yetmore influential colleagues in Cebu and Bohol.

-o0o-To put it the other way, Cebu and Bohol had

more connections in the centers of powers so muchso that when it came to national funding thru theRegional Development Council (RDC) they had theedge. Records will show that Negros Oriental hadthe least fund releases from the RDC, when it shouldhave been just and equitable.

-o0o-

Negros Occidental also had the same predica-ment. Bacolod got the crumbs from national projectsthru the RDC of region 6 because Iloilo, and the Panayregion got the bigger chunk of infra fundings. So bothNegros Occidental and Oriental who had the same pre-dicament decided to form its own NEGROS ISLANDREGION. It was a long climb and struggle, but finally,we have arrived.

-o0o-Moreover, everybody is happy in Regions 6 and

7, because its good riddance for the Negros broth-ers. And Negros is happy too because we are nowall by ourselves, with only two to share nationalproject funds thru our own Regional DevelopmentCouncil.

-o0o-Thanks to a good Negros connection thru DILG

SEC. MAR ROXAS who really pushed for it, moresobecause he is a Negrense from Occidental. It couldnot have come at a more appropriate time when theman is groomed to be the next president of the Philip-pines. I was there when Roxas personally pushed for it.

Grave need to reform judiciary

To page 5

FoundlingGrace Poe

Pretentious presumptions

The Binay camp has branded Grace Poe as notqualified to run for president because she hasnot complied with the 10-yr residency require-ment having lived abroad.

In response, Grace Poe in denying the residency issuesaid, a case of plunder against Binay is worse than her resi-dency issue. The presidential war has just begun.

The issue of Grace Poes residency cropped up whenthe Binay camp seemed to have expressed concern if notconsidered Poe a political threat about Grace Poes pos-sible candidacy for president. Grace Poe is 31% in thesurveys while Binay still remains a little higher at 36%.

Grace Poe who signed the senate sub committee re-

port recommending plunder case against Binay, his son Junjunet al, explained her vote saying that even the dullest personwill lend credence to the evidence of plunder against Binaywhich Poe described as overwhelming.

Poes accusers claim that in her 2013 certificate ofcandidacy, Grace Poe wrote that she was a resident ofthe Philippines for 6 years, plus 3yrs come 2016, Poestotal years in the country shall have only been 9 years.This runs short of the ten-year requirement of residencyfor those running for president or vice president. TheBinay camp said this makes Grace Poe unqualified torun for president in view of the residency issue.

On the other hand, Poe said, it is up to the people tojudge which is a worse crime, to lack one year residency, orto plunder millions of pesos from the public coffers in Makati.Let the people be the judge, residency or plunder suspect forpresident.

In a related issue on Grace Poe, she admits she isstill in search of her real biological parents in Iloilo. Poewas left right after birth, still in swaddling clothes in achurch in Iloilo where a nanny named Sayong pickedher up in 1968 and took care of her until famous actor-couple Fernando Poe Jr and Susan Roces adopted GracePoe in the early 70s. Grace Poe now 46 yrs old.

Let us avoid the complacency that since Philippine Economy is doing great guns everything is well and dandy in the nation.Despite being Southeast Asias bright young star there is no inclusive growth thepoor did not really proportionately benefit as much as the rich.

There are millions still without jobs partly because the Foreign Direct Inves-tors (that create jobs) are not really coming in significantly and our basic infrastruc-ture is inferior in Asia.

One of the reasons advanced is that the economic miracle has not been accompanied byjudicial reforms in the regular courts and the Sandiganbayan.

Let us remember that foreign investors (or investors in general) are concernedabout how their contracts will be respected, labor disputes adjudicated with justiceand tax liabilities not left to the whims of slimy BIR officers and tax settlers.

True, they are concerned that corruption is minimized, infrastructure done honestly andefficiently and peace and order a way of life. Let us not forget that the Executive may singtheir mantra of daang matuwid all night long,theLegislativepasssoundlawsandbantheporky pigs but it is the Judiciary that will eventually be the final arbiter between right andwrong.

IfthecourtsdonotcomecleantheAmpatuans,theGMAs,the Marcoses, the Coronas, the Enriles, the Revillas, the Estradasand the Napoleses of the world will be pilloried by public opinionbut they will not rot in jail and their possessions will not be re-turned to where they should be.

Remember that the most heinous political crime in the world the

Ampatuan Massacre case is going 7 yearsold and hangs like a dirty laundry in thePhilippine clothesline for all the world to seeand abhor. That is a peace and order issue.

Take the case of the Sandiganbayan.

t is now about time when thereought to be a law requiring thetranslation of ALL LAWS and or-dinances into major dialects of

the land so that all people will KNOWand UNDERSTAND the law.

There is this pretentious presump-tion that the citizen is presumed toknow the law. In fact there is a maximthat goes: ignorance of the law excusesno one. What a pretentious presump-tion!

Of course those who do not know theEnglish language cannot be presumed toknow the law. It is such a pretentiouspresumption for an illiterate to know thelaw. How can a non-English speakingFilipino native know the traffic rules, thelocal ordinances, the rights of womenand children, or what Negros Island Re-gion is all about if it is not translatedinto the dialect?

In fact in every arraignment in Court,the charges are read BOTH in Englishand Cebuano since most of the accusedneed it. This is the center of our under-development: illiteracy, ignorance.

In other developed countries, theyhave a law mandating that all laws andordinances of the land should be trans-

lated into the local dialect for all peopleand natives to know and understand.Funds are allocated for such purpose.

Can you imagine a non-collegegraduate occupying high positions, andsimilarly, a dropout involved in multi mil-lion peso scams? It is because they donot understand the law. They must havethought its ok.

In Dumaguete, there is now a groupadvocating for the translation of laws.In fact , the Dangerous Drugs Act is nowtranslated into Cebuano by a local judge,Judge Joseph Elmaco who is a strong ad-vocate of vernacularizing the law. He isa good Cebuano writer, too. We have lo-cal educators, professors even retireduniversity presidents who can translateour laws and create a team.

And before such translation of thelaws to be funded by Congress is evenrealized, Dumaguete is now doing it.Thanks to our intellectual civic citizenswhose genuine concern for the peopleswelfare deserves our commendation.They are inviting similar advocates tojoin the new NGO now undergoing organi-zation. Just contact this papers editor.

Lets ignite the fire for the massivevernacularization of our laws. We hopethis will catch fire.

541June 7, 2015BBL panel gets...

Among the issuesraised on the proposedBangsamoro Basic Lawduring Thursdays forum or-ganized by BantayBayanihan Negros OrientalChapter include:

1. Bangsamorosadoption of a parliamentaryform of government whenthe national government ofthe Philippines is presiden-tial, which sends a signal thatthe former is a separate gov-ernment after all.

Office of the Presi-dential Adviser on the PeaceProcess Assistant SecretaryJennifer Oreta replied thatConstitution merely providesthat Local Governmentsmust be representative andelectoral, which gave birth totwo interpretations that first,a parliamentary form of gov-ernment is allowed for aslong as it is democratic andrepresentative and second,that regional or local govern-ment must conform with theset-up of the national gov-ernment.

2. It was requestedthat Section 3 of Article IXof the proposed BBL, whichprovides the laws onShariah should explicitlystate that disputes involvingMuslims and non-Muslimsshould be tried and resolvedin the regular courts to set-tle anxiety of the non-Mus-lims residing on theBangsamoro areas that theywill be subject to Shariahsdefinition of crimes and pre-scription of penalties.

3. It was also re-quested that for Section 9 ofArticle VI criteria or basisfor the Bangsamoro Parlia-ment to invoke good gov-ernance as the reason toalter, modify and reform lo-cal government units alreadygoverned by the Local Gov-ernment Code of 1991 mustbe clearly provided to pre-vent abuse by theBangsamoro Government.

4. It was also im-pressed upon the repre-sentatives of the peace panelthat Section 11 of Article VIthat mandates a policy forthe appointment of qualifiedBangsamoro inhabitants ofat least one Cabinet Secre-tary, one each of the otherdepartments, offices, andbureaus, holding executive,primarily confidential, highlytechnical policy-determiningpositions and one commis-sion on each of the constitu-tional bodies as unfair to thenext President of the Philip-pines as it injures his discre-tion of appointing only thosewho enjoy his trust and con-fidence. Others view this aspart of the expansionistagenda of the Bangsamorogovernment which generallyresents the national govern-ments intervention to theirlocal affairs but would wantto place Moros in sensitivepositions in the national gov-ernment as a matter ofpolicy.

5. It was also deemedunnecessary to include Sec-tion 12 of Article VI thatmandates the national gov-

ernment to ensure the pro-tection of the rights of theBangsamoro residing out-side its area and to under-take programs for rehabili-tation and development oftheir communities as if thenational government hasnever provided the Muslimsall the assistance and rightsprior to the BBL negotia-tions. It merely perpetuatesthe notion that the Non-Mus-lims have alwaysmarginalized the Moro peo-ple therefore must assumethe guilt and must pay repa-rations through the nationalgovernment in the amount ofP 35 billion as BBLs initialfunding upon inception andentitled to get 75% shares inthe national taxes, fees andcharges collected within itsterritory besides the annualblock grant equivalent to 4%of the net national internalrevenue collection of theBureau of Internal Revenueless the IRA of the LGUsautomatically appropriated tothe Bangsamoro govern-ment.

6. Since the nationalgovernment is asked to fi-nance the Bangsamoro Gov-ernment as sort of repara-tions and a means to cor-rect the injustices committedagainst the Moros in thepast a participant sug-gested that it should also befitting that victims of theatrocities of the MILF begiven compensation throughthe BBL. The peace pan-els response suggests thatit will be considered oncethe BBL is approved.

7. Section 2 of Ar-ticle XV provides that theBangsamoro Transition Au-thority shall be led by theMoro Islamic LiberationFront, which has so far failedto significantly disarm theirfighters. Yet there is no guar-antee of open, fair andpeaceful elections, sincethe MILF, still armed andpresumably dangerous, willconvert itself into a politicalparty that will compete in theregional polls. It will be theheight of irony that while therest of the country observestotal gun ban on election pe-riod, the MILF under thecover of the BangsamoroTransition Authority willcampaign for the victory oftheir preferred bets at allcost, which may not alwaysbe the true will of the ma-jority to institute a demo-cratic and representativegovernment.

8. Proponents of theBBL assert that theBangsamoro is a seculargovernment, not an Islamicstate. But ironically, it shallbe ceremonially headed bya wali, which in Islam pur-portedly means Muslim Saintor to denote that one isvested with the authority ofGod and BBL devotes sev-eral sections to strengthenthe imposition of ShariahJustice System within its ter-ritory rooted to the Koran,Al-Sunnah (prophetic tradi-tions); Al-Ijima (consensus)and Al-Qiyas (analogy).

9. As is BBL will pro-

vide the MILF with all theelements of a state: territory,people, government andfunds yet there is nothing inthe proposed law that givesconcrete measures that thenational government can pre-vent the dismemberment ofthe country if theBangsamoro parliament de-clares its independence fromthe Philippines. A member ofthe peace panel admittedthat Bangsamoro could ac-tually mean a moro nation.

In conclusion, thepeace panel, which has beengoing around the countrycampaigning for BBL, wastold pointblank by the partici-pants that there is no needfor the BBL to replaceARMM, and even if passedinto law BBL will suffer thesame fate of ARMM if theleaders of the Moro commu-nities will not reform them-selves.

ARMM is a recipientof tens of billions of pesosfrom the national govern-ment and foreign fundingagencies, yet if the Morocommunities remain poor, itonly reflects the capacitiesand character of theirpresent leaders, who by theway have the means to winthe elections even underBBL.

The nationwide nega-tive view of the BBL isfueled by the very fact thatit is advocated by the MILF,which figured prominentlyduring the Mamamsapanobloodbath.

In response, thepeace panel expressed hopethat Congress would pass aBBL version that will standchallenges of its constitution-ality and one that is widelyaccepted.

Meanwhile, Cong.Roman Romulo, who at-tended Wednesdaysmonthly regular meeting ofthe League of Municipalities,admitted that even as a mem-ber of the ruling LiberalParty he has misgivings onthe draft BBL which containprovisions that will hurt theterritorial integrity of thePhilippine republic.

Negros Orientalsthree congressmen haveearlier registered their deepreservations of the draftBBL. Romulo admitted thatBBL has 50-50 chances ofpassing in the lower house.(By Dems Demecillo)

the One-Negros dream come true. Of course Negroswill vote for him as one, for the presidency in casehe finally decides to make good his much-announcedreadiness.

-o0o-But should another man or woman capture the presi-

dency in 2016, the fate of One Negros Island Region re-mains, although the challenge to survive the jungle of get-ting shares from the national infrastructure coffers will begreater.

-o0o-Now what? After having signed E0183? Comes

the hard part: the transition period for five years atleast. There will be no funding budget dislocation,the Negros leaderships agreed. Instead, they will uti-lize their old fund allocations in Region 7 and 6 anduse it as our transition budget.

No new personnel movement, just re-assign-ing regional staff into Negros to familiarize the ter-rain, and the work. Once the administrative flow ofthings gets normalized, then it is time to expand anddecide which areas to assign regional centers.

-o0o-But with the online mania, it wont be a problem

because the transmission of documents will be done inseconds. Travelling from one Negros end to another willbe minimized because of online communications.

Moreover, each regional sub-office inDumaguete or Bacolod can inter-function online.

-o0o-Most of all, the sharing of national infra funds has

already been settled: 60% for Negros Occidental and40% for Negros Oriental. Even future governors or re-gional chiefs cannot alter this arrangement because theyneed the signatures of both governors for major decisions.So the 60-40 sharing is set to remain respected until king-dom come.

-o0o-Finally, the nightmare of getting crumbs for

Negros infra funds is over. We can now work in peace,with just and equitable fund allocations from our ownRegional Development Council, whose first chair-manship is in fact offered to whoever is the governorof Negros Oriental: Roel Degamo or George Arnaiz.

The good news is, either of the two will do. Butthe sad news is: we will have to make one choicebetween the two.

street killings in the last twoyears.

Mostly were brandedby police as illegal drug traf-fic vendetta by and amongtheir own rival stakeholdersin the illegal trade.

Feeling alluded to,Councilor Manuel Arbonquickly retorted that the se-ries of unresolved killingscannot be denied that it wasin fact condemned by theCatholic Church and the lo-cal media. He deplored theinclination of the administra-tion for its critics to shut theirmouths and ignore the kill-ings just to preserve the im-

age of the city.In her rejoinder,

Councilor Lani Ramon un-derscored the need to acceptthe facts that there are un-resolved killings and every-body is called upon to helpthe community deal with theproblem head on even as thecity tries to lure tourists here.

She pointed out that anordinance authored byCouncilor Antonio Remolloestablishing theBANKATFED under theconcept of neighborhoodwatch was not enforced bythe administration. Membersof BANKATFED couldserve as force multipliers ofthe PNP.

COP IN COUNCILMeanwhile, after

three invites, Supt. JamesGoforth appeared before theCity Council to provideinsights and status of thedata gathering and case buildup pursued by authorities toprosecute those responsiblefor the killings, majority ofwhich were attributed to theongoing internecine drugswar.

Goforth requested foran executive session withthe members of the Councilaway from the glare of themedia which might unneces-sarily expose to the publicthe assets and many wit-nesses, which will prejudicethe investigation.

He assured thecouncilors that his leadershipis sincere in solving thecases and reiterates his re-spect for life even as hepointed out that other citiesand even some barangayshave higher number ofshooting incidents.

Emerging from theclosed-door meeting,Councilor Remollo said thatit was clarified that thenumber of shooting incidentsrecorded in 2013 totaled 33;38 in 2014 and 10 fromJanuary to June 2015. (ByDems Demecillo)

The World Bank said in2003 and confirmed in2006 that it takes an av-erage of 6.6 years to re-solve a graft case; now ithas worsened to 8 years.

Take the collective is-sues of violation of humanrights, killings of media,murders, security of per-sons, police abuses, dueprocess violations andharsh conditions in the cor-rectional facilities. Againstthese issues, RP has wors-ened in rank from (2011)40th down to 59th place(2012-2013) a grand slipof 19 slots.

In the legal front,touching on issues likedeficient enforcementmechanism, corruptionamong judges and lawenforcement agencies(emphasis ours) andlengthy duration ofcases, RP slid from 56thbest (2011) to a worsen-ing 84th place (2012-2013), a dramatic fall of28 slots.

I am glad that there isa Fathers Day in themonth of June. Wayback when there was onlya Mothers Day in May, Ialways wondered whathappened to the fa-thers? Why wasntthere a day when wehonor our fathers? Afterall, we wouldnt be hereif it werent for our fa-thers! Let me share afew memories about myfather.

My father, JarvisNathan Russell, died in theearly 70s when I was al-ready married and living inthe Philippines. It was ashock to receive a telephonecall from my mother sayingthat Dad had had a massiveheart attack and died on theway to the hospital. It wasdoubly shocking since wechildren didnt know he hada heart problem and there-fore, were not prepared inany way for his untimely de-mise. I was devastated thatI had not had time to tell himhow much I loved him be-fore he left us.

My father was atrue farmer, even as hisfather was before him.He taught me to love theland with all its beauty andugliness, with its promiseof harvest and the chang-ing of seasons. I grew up

on our small family farmin the mountains of Ver-mont, USA, and as theeldest child was respon-sible for helping Dad carefor our small herd of 20dairy cows, the youngercalves, and other as-sorted animals. I alsohelped during the sum-mer haying season whenthe f ield grasses werecut, baled and stackedinto our barn to be usedas feed for the animalsduring the long wintermonths. Although thework was hot, sweaty andconstant, I enjoyed caringfor the animals and beingout in the fields with Dadworking side by side.

He taught me to be

Last Thursday, May28, 2015 which co-incided with Philip-pine Flag Day the writertogether with Atty.Jeremy Gatdula of theUniversity of Asia and thePacif ic and a few con-gressmen led by LitoAtienza and JonathanDela Cruz filed a caseagainst the PhilippinePeace Panel or OPPAPfor sedition and treasonin connection with thesigning of the Compre-hensive Agreement onthe Bangsamoro and theBBL.

For the uninitiated se-dition or inciting to seditionis defined as overt conduct,such as speech and organi-zation, that is deemed by le-gal authorities to tend towardinsurrection against estab-lished order. Sedition in-

cludes subversion of a con-stitution and incitement ofdiscontent to lawful author-ity. A seditionist is one whoengages in or promotes theinterest of sedition.

We filed our case inthe firm belief that theaccused are guilty of the

Governor Degamo issued an Executive order calling upon National Law enforcement agencies to retrieve the Governmentissued vehicles to Vice Governor Mark Macias and the mem-bers of the Sangguniang Panglalawigan. According to Degamos Or-der the Memorandum receipts allowing the Vice Governor and theBoard Member to use these vehicles have already been revoked.However, not included in the order are the vehicles issued to boardmembers Liland Zoila B. Estacion, and Erwin Macias, who are bothidentified politically with the Governor. The vehicles were purchasedthough appropriation ordinance 37 Series of 2010, where the Sangunianallotted money to buy the vehicles for the Vice Governor and for theSanguniang Panlalawigan Members. This was signed by Degamo, whowas then Vice Governor. Now, the issue is whether the executive or-der of Degamo calling on National Law enforcement agencies to re-trieve the Government issued vehicles to Vice Governor Macias andmembers of the Sangunniang Panglalawigan except vehicles issuedto Board Member Liland Zoila B. Estacion and Erwin Macias is valid.

(Prometheus in Henry Wadsworth Longfellows poemThe masque of Pandora)

At the outset, it is clear that such Executive Order isnull and void for the following reasons:

1. It is null and void for being constitutionallyinfirmed, because it is violative of the due process clause.Under our Bill Of Rights, No person shall be deprived oflife, liberty or property without due process of law, norshall any person be denied the equal protection of thelaw.

The Vice Governor and the Board Members con-cerned are entitled to the use of these vehicles as pro-vided for by the Provincial Ordinance duly signed andapproved by Degamo.

Hence, Degamo by Executive Order cannot modify,amend or abrogate an existing ordinance approved by himby mere executive order disregarding due process requiredby law, otherwise, there is no need for a Provincial BoardPower. water cannot rise higher than its source.

2. It is null and void for being violative of the equalprotection clause. By exempting Board Members Estacionand Erwin Macias, the governor by his Executive Order

made a clear violation of the constitutional requirementthat no person shall be deprived of the equal pro-tection of the law.

When the governor exempted provincial membersEstacion and Macias, the governor is making a classifi-cation without any reasonable and justifiable basis, ex-cept for political reasons.

Being violative of the constitutional rights of theconcerned Vice Governor and Board Members, theycan ask for a Temporary Restraining Order and a Pre-liminary Injunction, to restrain its enforcement tempo-rarily and permanently, and sue for damages for viola-tion of their constitutional right to due process and equalprotection of the law.

WE have just cel-ebrated thegreat solemnityof the Most BlessedTrinity. It is supposed tobe, and in fact it is themost important mysteryof our faith, the fount ofall the other truths andmysteries of our faith,since it shows us the in-most, intimate life of Godin himself, even beforebeing the Creator of theuniverse.

The relevance of thismystery in our life stemsfrom the basic truth that we,as man, are created in Godsimage and likeness, adoptedchildren of his, and thereforemade to reflect and, in fact,participate in this veryTrinitarian life of God. Theimplications and conse-quences of this truth areendless, but lets tackle atleast a few of them later.

Through this mys-tery, which was revealed

to us in full by Christ, weare told that God, thoughone, are three persons,Father, Son and HolySpirit, because the abso-lutely one and simple Godis never an idle God, nora lonely God.

MT 28:16-20

I would like to sharewith you this articleaboutmarriagefromthe Secretariat for ProLife Activities-UnitedStates Conference ofCatholic Bishop.

For Catholics marriageis a sacrament, revealingChrists indestructible love.The Catholic tradition hasalways recognized that mar-riage is also a natural relationship. Peopleof any faith or none can marry, and theirmarriages matter to God, to each other, totheir children, and to the community.

A group of respected marriage andfamily scholars recently met to documentthe social science evidence that marriagematters. While there are, of course, singleparents who do a splendid job of child-rear-ing under very difficult circumstances, thescholars reached these conclusions amongothers:

Marriage reduces the risk of pov-erty for children and communities. Themajority of children whose parents dontmarry or do not stay married experience atleast a year of poverty.

Fatherless households increasecrime.Boys whose parents divorced ornever married are two to three times morelikely to end up in jail as adults.

Marriage protects childrensphysical and mental health. Childrenwhose parents marry and stay married arehealthier and much less likely to suffer mentalillness, including depression and teen suicide.

Both men and women who marrylive longer, healthier, and happierlives.On virtually every measure of healthand well-being, married people are betteroff.

Cohabiting is not the same asmarriage.Coupleswhojust live togetherwithout the commitment of marriage do notget the same boost to health, welfare, andhappiness, on average, as spouses. Childrenwhose parents cohabit are at increased riskfor domestic violence, child abuse, and ne-glect.

hen you will ask in my name. Im not saying I will ask the Fa-ther on your behalf, for the Father himself loves you dearlybecause you love me and believe that I came from God. John

16:26-27Jesus is talking about a new relationship between the believer

and God. Previously, people approached God directly. A new day haddawned, and now all believers are priests and can talk with God per-sonally and directly. We approach God, not because of our own merit,but because Jesus, our great High Priest has made us acceptable toGod.

On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed thePassover lamb, Jesus disciples said to him, Where do you want us to goand prepare for you to eat the Passover? He sent two of his disciples andsaid to them, Go into the city and a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water.Follow him. Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, The Teachersays, Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disci-ples? Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Makethe preparations for us there. The disciples then went off, entered the city, andfound it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover. While they

To page 10

The point of this promise is that God the Fatherloves us just like a loving father would loveand have mercy on his own children. I am con-tinually amazed to see the ongoing analogies through-out the Bible where God wants us to know that He is really a Father to us! Notjust a father figure, but a real Dad!

Some of you might be reading this promise and thinking about negative past expe-riences that you have had with your own father and shudder to think that God wouldtreat you in the same way. I think that is one of the most common roadblocks that manyof us experience in our journey to know God as Father.

It is very natural for us to project onto God many of the same life experiences thatwe have had with our earthly fathers. Over the years, we have even heard somecomments where people have said to us... I have had one father and I dont want

The earlier part of Luke, chapter nine, gives an account of Herod wonderingin amazement when He had heard rumors about people saying that Jesuswas John the Baptist who had risen from the dead. Dismayed, Herod asked,John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?

Who is this Jesus?One answer to Herodsquestion is Lukes accountof the transfiguration of Je-sus which is one of the mostsignificant passages in theGospels for it tells us threethings about Jesus identity.

In the first place, thetransfiguration identifies Je-sus with Moses andElijah,.two crucial figuresfrom Israels past. Bothwere associated with theJewish belief in the comingof the Messiah, and, accord-ing to certain traditions, bothwere taken up into heaven,as Jesus was soon to betaken up. In the Old Testa-ment, Moses is associatedwith the Law and Elijah withProphets. For Luke, there-fore, the presense of Mosesand Elijah served to confirmthat in Jesus the long-awaited Messiah of theworld had come, and that itis in Jesus that the divinecalling of the Messiah isvalidated. This is very sig-nificant for our way of un-derstanding the nature of ourChristian faith heritage. AsLuke sees it, with the trueIsrael (Walter RusselBowie, Interpreters Bible,Vol. 8, p.175). Sometimes,knowingly or perhaps un-knowingly, we think that

Gods revelation of himselfthrough Jesus stands abso-lutely alone, or that it is apartfrom what the Old Testa-ment says about it. This wasthe view of theMarcionites, pseudoChristians in Lukes time,who claimed that the OldTestament had no rightfulplace in the whole bible. Theearly Christian church sawthat denial of the Old Testa-ment as dangerous and re-jected it. To the church therevelation in Christ would notbe completewithout theO.T. The O.T. anticipatesand supports the N.T. TheN.T. does not merely corrector supersede the O.T.; italso confirms and validatesit. What is best and centralin the O.T. leads directly intothe N.T. Much in the N.T.could not be understoodwithout the O.T. (Bowie,Ibid, p. 175).

An airplane can flywith two wings intact, notwith only one wing. Christi-anity is like that. Its deeptruths are rooted in both theOld and New Testaments.This is the significant andsymbolic meaning of Mosesand Elijah talking to Jesus,not just listening to him.

Who is this Jesus?In the second place, although

the image of Moses andElijah talking with Jesus sug-gests some sort of peer re-lationship among the threefigures, it is only to Jesus ofwhom a heavenly voicespoke, and that after Mosesand Elijah had disappearedfrom the scene. It is Jesusalone who is my Son, myChosen. If Jesus stands inthe line of Moses and Elijah,he is nevertheless far supe-rior to that line (Cousar,Texts for Preaching, Year C,p. 178). Or as we say it to-day, Jesus is the first amongequals. For us Christians,the true meaning of the OldTestament can be seen onlyby one who also sees Christand listen to him. For notonly did Jesus validate theOld Testament, he also in-terpreted it. Moses and Elijahwere also transfigured butonly because of Jesus. Itwas in the presence ofChrist that they also ap-peared in glory. the central-ity of Jesus in the transfigu-ration story stands for thecentrality of Christ for thebiblically based Christian

It does not escape me that our LordGod has a special providence for man andmost especially for the faithful religious, whowithout material possessions gain every-thing; but with firm conviction that my faithprovides, I might not be frank if I might notraise up to the paternal heart of Your Emi-nence the sufferings and fears that I endurein what future the order holds.

Y menos mal, sipor fin se puede conseguir que el gobiernode Wshinton o alguna otra compaacompre la hacienda, por ms que gran partede su crdito est pignorado para poderatender a las necesidades del momento;pero siempre quedara algo para echarlneas para el porvenir.

Fr. Jaime Bulatao, a well-known Atenean Psy-chologist used to give the residents in Psy-chiatry at the UP-PGH Medical Center in Ma-nila years ago on the interesting topic of Psychic Phe-nomena. All were amazed with the valuable discover-ies of psychic powers that could benefit mankind, iffully developed and properly harnessed.

When we talk aboutpsychic, we mean a per-son who possesses super-natural powers. Parapsy-chology is the study of psy-chic phenomena. Extra Sen-sory Perception (ESP) isthe reception of informationby non-sensory means, notinvolving the 5 senses likesight, hearing, smell, taste andtouch. Psychokinesis (PK)is the exercise of direct men-

tal influence over a physi-cal object or process. Ex-ample: A person with PKis able to will the dice tocome to rest at a desirednumber. Dj vu, is thefeeling that one has seen orexperienced somethinghappening in the present orat some previous time.There are persons who ex-perience unusual state ofwhich they claim that theywere able to see the placebefore even if they have notactually seen the place.

Another psychic giftof some is the ability to pre-dict events in the future. Forinstance, the crash of anAmerican Airline wherehundreds died at theOHare Airport in USAwas accurately predictedby a psychic. This is knownas precognition.

Scientific researchesin USA have evidentlyproven the true happeningof psychic phenomena inthe World. It is claimed thatthe Russian researchers are

more advanced in terms ofpsychic phenomena. UriGeller incredibly demon-strated his psychic featwhen he bended metalspoons with his powerfulgaze, a psychokinesispower!

Our Filipino PsychicSurgeon, Agpawa fromBaguio City successfullyoperated our local and for-eign clients through his pow-erful psychic hands.

Teresita Basa fromDumaguete City who wasmurdered in the US was ableto reveal her real murdererthrough a co-worker whomshe used as a medium, byidentifying the true murderer.

Reports of amazingpsychic power are comingup. Hopefully science will beable to harness the valuableprocess or tool of psychicpower to help mankind solvehis various problems.

He instilled in me thevirtues of hard work, of hon-esty and integrity, of finish-ing what I had begun, of find-ing something to like or evenlove about whatever I wasdoing.

Dad had a wrysense of humor, too; hecould find something tolaugh about in most allcircumstances. His tem-per flared when he gotangry but he never raiseda hand to us kids or toMom; he would go out-doors and chop up woodfor our furnace, or dosome other physical taskto work off his anger.

In other words, hewas human with his good andnot-so-good sides. As a fa-ther, he was the best one at least to me. He was aman of few words but Iknow that he felt deeplyabout many things. I treas-ure my memories of him.

Please dont waituntil your father passeson to begin rememberingthe good things abouthim. Today is the besttime to tell him that youlove him and appreciatethe many things that he

He is rather a Godwho is full of dynamism, aneternal dynamism of know-ing and loving. His knowingand loving are no mere actsthat begin and end, thatcome from potency to act,but are so perfect that theycreate the three eternal per-sons in that one God.

Gods eternalknowing and loving giverise to the eternal rela-tions within God. TheGod who knows and wholoves is the Father. Thesame God who is knownand is loved is the Son.The same God who is thevery love between theFather and the Son is theHoly Spirit. The Father,Son and Holy Spirit areeternally inseparable intheir dynamic life ofknowing and loving.

With respect to Godscreation, the three personsare also all involved, with theFather being the decider orauthor of it, the Son as thepattern of creation with us,man, as the masterpiecesince we are his image andlikeness, and the Holy Spiritas the implementor and thekeeper of creation, and thusour sanctifier.

The whole God isinvolved in our creationand keeps it according tohis will, his designs andthe natures in which eachcreature is created. In ourcase, God created us withthe power to know and tolove through our intelli-gence and will, which pre-cisely make us his imageand likeness.

He will always re-spect us the way we are,even if we abuse these pow-ers by making them as ifthey are solely our own, tobe used exclusively accord-ing to our own designs, in-stead of referring them al-ways to God and his will.

But God, being aFather to us, full of love,mercy and compassion,will also do everything tobring us back to him evenif we stray. Just thesame, there is always thepossibility, given ourfreedom which can bemisused, that in spite ofwhat God is doing for us,

The key relevance ofthe mystery of the MostBlessed Trinity to us is thatits a truth that sets the ba-sic tone and attitude weought to have toward Godand toward everybody andeverything else.

1. By deliberatelyproposing to usurp Con-gress power and preventit from freely exercisingits legislative authority asprovided by the Constitu-tion.

2. Proposing theasymmetric relationship be-tween the BBL and the gov-ernment thus inciting peopleto strip away the superiorityof the National Governmentand preventing its executivedepartment to freely exer-cise its power as provided bythe Constitution.

3. By promoting theappointment ofBangsamoro inhabitantsto certain positions in theNational Government,thus curtailing the powerof the President to ap-point any persons he/shedeems fit and qualified theintention clearly to vio-late the Constitution bypreventing the Office ofthe President from exer-cising its appointing pow-ers.

4. By proposing to cre-ate a Shariah High Court, aBangsamoro Commission onAudit and a Commission onElections which violates theconstitutional mandate thatthere is only one SupremeCourt in the Philippines oneCommission on Audit andone Commission on Elec-tions.

5. By declaringand promulgating theBasic Bangsamoro Lawwhich authorizes aBangsamoro Parliamentwith parity of esteem toimpose Capital GainsTax, Documentary StampTax, Donors state withtaxing powers that conflictwith the taxing powers ofthe Republic of the Phil-ippines thus instigatinga prevention of theproper execution of Phil-

means through the BBL pro-visions, which are clearlyunconstitutional, the inhabit-ants of the still undefinedBangsamoro are being insti-gated to make continuingdemands for independenceand self-determination.

7. Through the pro-posed BBL, Respond-ents are inciting theBangsamoro to asserttheir right to self-deter-mination and to launch asecessionist movement.The proposed BBL, withall its unconstitutionalprovision, is the mecha-nism used to induce theBangsamoro people tomake continuing de-mands for independenceas provided for in the saidproposed legislation.

8.
