A recent Energy Regulatory
Commission (ERC) memorandum ordering the Leyte
Electric Cooperative (LEYCO
V) to explain why its management should not be administratively and criminally liable for
flaunting the Magna Carta of
Residential Consumers law
may have repercussions on
SOLECO, which according
to reports was using the

delinquent customers.

denying it had reached
worldwide epidemic proportion, the World Health
Organization (WHO) has
finally admitted the obvious. The mystery flu now
plaguing 74 countries could
no longer be contained
and had to be dealt with up
close and personal. It was
the first time it has declared
a flu pandemic in 41 years.
When asked what took
them so long to announce
the virus’s global outbreak,
the health organization’s flu
chief Keiji Fukuda said they
wanted to avoid the adverse effects such an admittance would trigger. He
said people might panic
and take inappropriate action if the WHO declared
a pandemic.
“I believe we are already
in phase 6, or a pandemic
alert level,” admitted WHO
Director General Margaret
Chan.
Meanwhile in Manila,
Dr. Eric Tayag, the Department of Health’s chief epidemiologist said Filipinos
were already over reacting
to signs not even closely
related to the influenza A
(H1N1) virus and were
crowding
already
crowded hospitals out
of fear.
He cited the case of a
man who walked into
the Philippine General
Hospital fearing he had
the illness when all he was
suffering from was a
cough. While a middleaged army officer, who
had sore eyes, insisted he
had the flu and demanded he be treated.
Tayag assured the public
the mystery flu virus was
a “mild” one and could
be treated at home.
He admitted the
public’s exaggerated response to the virus was
partly the health
department’s fault, because in the past they did
not know much about
the virus. But now they
know its a very mild
illnes and are toning
down on some of their
responses.
“There is really no
magic formula in treating the virus, but it can
be managed at home the
same way we treat the
common flu.

Letters to the Editor
More News Please
Good day! I have been visiting your website for quite sometime hoping to find an
indepth reportage on issues and concerns of Southern Leytenos. So far, nothing much
has surfaced from your end, except for some insightful comments of your publisher.
If you review your pages the last couple of months there is a dominance of articles
about Maasin City and Representative Oging Mercado and Governor Damian Mercado.
Perhaps the time has come for you to make Southern Leyte times to be reflective of the
sentiments and aspirations of the people of our province.
I certainly look forward to reading features about the 18 other towns and what their
officials are doing, investment opportunities and attractions in these places. The website
of the provincial government isn’t any better. Except for doses of news articles done by
the provincial PIA, there are no interesting features coming out it on a regular basis.
Your effort in coming out with a weekly newspaper, however, is highly commendable and here’s hoping you will strive harder to be recognized as an outstanding community newspaper. Something that I look forward to happening very soon.
Good luck and may the lord bless our province and all of you people behind the
Southern Leyte Time.
Vic A. Endriga

Thank you for your constructive comments. Although we agree we should have
more news from the other towns of the province, as a community newspaper operating on a shoe-string budget, we simply cannot afford to hire enough reporters to cover
the entire province. This is why we are encouraging the 18 Municipal Public Information Officers to provide us with regular updates on developments in their towns. But so
far only Saint Bernard’s Rosalinda Araneta has responded.
If you could share with us your thoughts on the happenings in the province (particularly your home town of Libagon) we would certainly welcome it. I’m sure our readers
would appreciate hearing from the renowned Treasurer of Quezon City. As for your
request for more news about the political opposition here; our problem is that no major
opposition leader wants to be quoted as this point in time - for reasons only they can
understand. - ED

AS I SEE IT
MENDOZA
ANTONIO
REYES
Are We Really
ndependent?
When I was asked before
the exact date of our independence, I would quickly
answer June 12, 1896. For
this was the day we declared
our independence from
Spain and formed our first
revolutionary government at
Malolos, Bulacan.
Yet if you look back in
time, you wonder where we
stand as a people today. Are
we truly an independent
country?
For after the US Army
stole General Emilio
Aguinaldo’s amazing victory
over Spain and ruled us for
the next 48 years - we were
again ruled by another foreign nation.
Although the US government formally granted us
independence on July 4,
1946 it maintained its economic hold on us through
the Laurel Langley Agree-
ment, and the military pacts
that converted us into a
huge military base which
served as magnets that
would draw enemy nuclear
missiles away from the US
mainland.
The difference between
June 12 and July 4 Independence Day is that we that
we earned the first through
the blood, sweat and tears
of our forefathers. While
the second was granted to
us by a government which
was then under pressure
from its citizens who had
grown tired of war and any
for m
of
foreign
adventurism.
The first was conclusive
because we kicked out the
Spaniards who had colonized us for over 400 years.
The second was inconclusive for our rulers never left
and still dictates our eco-
nomic policies through its
Embassy along Roxas Boulevard and its representative
at our Central Bank .
Ambassador Narciso G.
Reyes who was then our
Permanent Representative
to the United Nations believed it was imperative for
our leaders to issue a “Second Declaration of Independence” which would
free us from the United
States. For only when we
could stand up for ourselves
could we be considered
truly independent.
He said our relationship
with the United States was
similar to that of a mother
and her new born child
who was still attached to
her through the umbilical
cord.
He said the scene was
acceptable at the moment
of birth, but for the child
to remain attached to his
mother 63 years afterwards
was obscene.
As the country celebrates
its sixty-third “independence” day its imperative
for our national leaders to
severe this umbilical cord
which connects us to Uncle
Sam.
It’s time we grew up.

Guest Commentary
by Bendever Gerona
Internet Filtering is senseless
“We can follow either
the Chinese or Middle
Eastern model where all
ISPs are required to block
online pornography. For
me, these people must rot
in jail so they will not be
able to do any more harm
to anybody,” said Senator
“Bong” Revilla Jr.
The Senator got his
chance to get the publics
as well as his colleagues
sympathy when it came to
issues on pornography by
riding on the Hayden Kho
and Katrina Halili sex
video scandal. Perhaps it
is part of the Senator’s
agenda to railroad the passages of Senate Bill No.
12 otherwise known as
the Pornography Bill seeking to punish those who
publish or broadcast materials considered as porn.
The bill may have won the
support of the religious
sector, but he still has a lot
of persuading to do to
convince Internet users
who include bloggers,
social network enthusiasts
and even regular users
who may or may not be
into online porn.
According to No
Clean Feed, an Australian
movement to stop their
government’s attempt to
filter Internet content,
implementing the bill has
a lot of major technical
drawbacks such as high
cost of maintaining a filtering system which
would also slow down
Internet access by 80 percent. Such a system could
also be bypassed by most
tech savvy children.
In shor t, Revilla’s
proposition is not only expensive but useless.
Money spent on filtering
the Internet could buy
more books for children.
Even if the senator
would add a provision
that Internet Service Providers would shoulder the
cost, who would be willing to pay for an Internet
connection that’s 80 percent slower than what they
used to get?
Isn’t filtering the
Internet a violation of our
basic freedoms? Should
we allow our politicians to
dictate what information
we are allowed to access?
Is China, North Korea,
and Burma now our models for running our government? This is not what
Ninoy Aquino and our national heroes have died for.
Filtering the Philippine
Internet is like treating pubic lice with chemotherapy. You may kill the
lice, but you kill the genital as well.

Another Near Disaster
A Maasinhon aboard the MV Filipinas Iloilo of the Cokaliong Shipping Lines
whose engine conked-out near the treacherous Camote Straint told SLT the
incident nearly turned into another mega-shipping disaster.
She said they were floundering for hours before the captain told them they
would be transferred (in the open seas) to the Filipinas Dapitan.
“We were lucky no passengers fell into the rough sea as we transferred to the
rescuing boat,” she said and “there were reports from the crewmen themselves
that the ship had been having engine trouble the past few months and still the
shipping company allowed it to continue plying its route.”
She promised to send us photos of the actual rescue operations which we
assured her we would publish.
Sex Terminal
The park across the Maasin Cathedral has now become the meeting ground
for DOMs and young female students who are selling themselves for money.
All these aging Romeos have to do is park there and loiter for awhile until they
are approached by the youngsters (or their bugaws). The ice breaker of these
budding prostitutes is that they want to go to Ormoc and do some shopping.
According to a regular client the starting rate is P1000, but that this could be
haggled down to P500.
Can’t the DSWD and city health officers do anything about this situation? If
any of these young women contacts AIDS it could lead to an epidemic in no
time.
Climate Change Taskforce
With all the disaster coordinating councils in the province, we are surprised
we still don’t have a taskforce on Climate Change which the United Nations
believes is the Mother of All Disasters.
Although the DENR is now organizing its own Climate Change Office in Manila we should not rely on the CENRO office here to prepare a climate change
mitigation plan since all they do is denude our forests and grant mining permits.
Adulterers Beware
Womanizers in Southern Leyte now have something to really worry about.
Representative Liza Masa of Gabriela has authored a bill that would punish
male adulterers as severely as their female counterparts. The Male Adultery Bill
is expected to be passed when the fourteenth Congress reconvenes in July.
This landmark legislation not only punishes men who are caught committing
the crime, but also punishes those who live with another woman while still
married to their spouse. Although we support this legislation, I’m afraid our
jails would overflow once it’s imposed. In fact there are several judicial officials in Southern Leyte who would end up in jail once the bill passes.

Why People
Are Fat
(Second installment)
Since most people want to remain slim and attractive, we are featuring the ten major reasons why people get fat according to Kevin
Tradeau the author of the best selling book “Natures Cures They Don’t
want You To Know about.” We published the first 4 reasons for being
fat last week.
Most fat people eat before going to bed
When you sleep your body’s metabolism slows dramatically. So
when you eat late at night, the food does not get a change to burn off
and converts to fat.
Most fat people are affected by the hormones put in meat and dairy products
Our meat and dairy products are loaded with growth hormones. These hormones are
given to the animals to speed growth in order to increase production and profits. When
you consume them you are ingesting massive amounts of growth hormones. This leads
to obesity and is one of the reasons why children today are fatter and age quicker.
Most fat people have hormonal imbalances
If you are overweight statistics show that you find yourself physically hungry most of
the time. This hunger is generally caused by your body’s inability to assimilate nutrients
due to lack of digestive enzymes and yeast overgrowth. Another reason you are hungry
is that certain common food additives actually increase your hunger.
Most fat people have under active thyroid glands
If you have an under active thyroid, your body’s ability to convert food to energy is slow
and you have a higher change of having the food you eat convert to fat in your body. One
cause of this is the fluoride in the water we drink. This is one of the reasons Americans
have such a high propensity for an under active thyroid and for being overweight.

Bill” Gadget LEYCO was using and its
imposition of a 5 percent surcharge on
unpaid bills.
The order signed by ERC’s Executive
Director Francis Saturnino Juan dated 24
February 2009 and addressed to LEYCO
management was in response to a complaint by Emiliano Codero, a former manager of Leyco who claimed the company
was violating the Magna Carta of Residential Consumers.
The ERC said under the guidelines on
administrative sanctions the electric utility
could be slapped a P100,000 fine and P100
a day for every day it violates them.”
It also ordered them to explain why no
administrative or criminal action should be
instituted against its directors and officers
for imposing a 5 percent surcharge on unpaid bills which the ERC claimed was another violation, since it had no prior approval from them and was not included in
its approved “unbundled rates.”
Leyco General Manager Jovenal Alesna
admitted that the fine had been imposed
since 1999 and started at 2 percent, but was
increased to 5 percent in 2003. Alesna said
it was imposed to improve their collection
efficiency because it made their consumers
pay on time.

CARP gets 5 year extension
CONGRESS, QUEZON CUTY – The con-
troversial 20 year old land reform program will be extended for another five years
when its current six month extension ends
on June 30, 2009.
In a phone interview with the Southern
Leyte Times Representative Roger
Mercado said they decided to give the program a new lease on life to forestall the
nationwide unrest the program’s sundden
stoppage would have triggered.
Law makers took only a day to reconcile the lower house and Senate version of
the bill extending the Comprehensive
Agrarian Reform Program for another five
years.
“The bicameral conference committee
resolved all major differences between Sen-
ate Bill 2666 and House Bill 4077 in a marathon session last Tuesday paving the way
for the approval of the CARP extension,”
said Mercado who is also the chairman of
the House Committee on Public Works and
Highways.
In a surprising move, Congress even increased the program’s budget to P150 billion and authorized additional appropriations for CARP when called for.
The funds will be used for the acquisition and distribution of farmlands and for
support to land reform beneficiaries to
make their land more productive. The consolidated CARP bill will be ratified when
congress opens in July 27, the solon concluded.
