Ghostly orbs gone
at Clark cemetery

CLARK FREEPORT - The souls that
used to hover as lighted orbs at night
over the neat rows of white tombstones at the Clark Veterans Cem-

been gone for good.
As All Saints’ Day nears, those
who tend to the 20,365-acre cemetery here share such observation.

PCCI names San Fernando ‘Most Business Friendly LGU’ anew
Punto! Central Luzon • October 29 - 31, 2015 • Thursday - Saturday
For the second year in a row, the
City of San Fernando was named by
the Philippine Chamber of Commerce
and Industry [PCCI] as the Most Business Friendly LGU in the entire country
during the 41st Philippines Business
Conference at the Marriot Grand Ballroom, Newport City Complex, in Pasay
City.
Held yesterday [October 27], the
annual search for local government
units by the country’s largest business
organization aims to promote and recognize good and effective governance
of towns, provinces and cities. President Benigno Aquino III is the keynote
2
speaker and guest of honor.
The award was received by Mayor
Edwin D. Santiago, Vice Mayor Jimmy
Lazatin, City Councilors Nelson G. Lingat, Angelica O. Hizon, Ayzel Marie N.
Macalino, Benedict Jasper Lagman,
Harvey A. Quiwa, Celestino S. Dizon,
Jacklyn Calimlim, and city department
heads led by Administrator Fernando
Limbitco.
San Fernando bested other contenders under component city level
category and was recognized for its
commendable efforts in adopting and
instituting innovative and best practices in good governance, in partnership
with private sector, significantly benefiting its business community and citizenry.
In an interview, Mayor Santiago
said that the award mirrors the city government’s effort in creating an environment conducive to business. “Through
our collective effort, we institutionalize
standards in delivering quality services
to the people.”
San Fernando was highly regarded
for its business licensing process that,
barring incomplete requirements, takes
only 19 minutes of an investor’s time
for his business permit to be issued.
“This is why investors have come to
recognize the ease in doing business
in San Fernando” he said.
The city was also cited for its outstanding efforts in instituting good governance reforms to promote local trade
and investments, transparency, accountability and efficiency in delivering
business services to fuel up inclusive
growth in the locality.
Earlier this year, the National Competitiveness Council named San Fernando as the second most competitive
city in the country.
As part of the award, PCCI will fund
the construction of a new school building in the city. –CSFP-CIO

A special mass was celebrated on October 27 at the Metropolitan Cathedral of
San Fernando as the Titular Archbishop of
Pandosia and Apostolic Nuncio in the Philippines, The Most Reverend Giuseppe Pinto, D.D. imposed the pallium on Archbishop
Florentino “Dong” Galang Lavarias D.D.
As per the January 12, 2015 mandate of
Pope Francis, new Metropolitan Archbishops will officially receive pallia in their own dioceses, rather than at the Vatican. The Most
Reverend Lavarias was the first-ever Filipino Metropolitan Archbishop who earned the
pallium in his own diocese.
Abp. Lavarias was very grateful for the
historical imposition that happened in Pampanga. “This symbolizes the union of the
archbishop and pope of Rome. The receiving of the pallium is not just a ceremonial
event, but an ecclesial moment that should
be celebrated by the whole diocese,” he
said.
A pallium is a sash material made of
white lamb’s wool worn around the neck
which rests on the shoulders of the chasuble having two black flaps falling in front and
behind. It is adorned with six crosses embroidered with black silk. Pallium also has
three pins made of gold and jewels.
As witnesses of said historic event were
Pampanga Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda,
San Fernando Mayor Edwin D. Santiago,
Vice Mayor Jimmy Lazatin and City Councilors Angie Hizon, BJ Lagman, Nelson Lingat
and Harvey Quiwa.
Also present were officers of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines
(CBCP), Suffragan Bishops (Diocese of
Tarlac, Iba Zambalesand Balanga Bataan),
clergy of the ecclesiastical province and
some cabalens of Pampanga. –CSFP CIO
OFWs maaari nang mag-apply ng Social Security Number online
regular na programa ng SSS,” dagdag
ni See.
Anumang halaga na hindi bababa
sa P200 na sobra sa ibinayad para sa
buwanang SSS contribution ay awtomatikong mapupunta sa Flexi-Fund
savings. Halos 47,000 OFWs ngayon
ay may aktibong SSS Flexi-Fund accounts at ang kanilang kabuuang ipon
o member’s equity ay umaabot sa
P508 milyon.
Ayon pa kay See, ang pagkuha
ng SS number online ay may dalawang bahagi. Sa unang bahagi, kailangang ilagay ng OFW ang kanyang
kumpletong pangalan, araw ng kapanganakan at email address. Titiyakin
ng web system kung wala pang SS
number ang nag-apply na OFW at ipapadala sa kanyang email address ang
resulta ng beripikasyon.
“Kapag pumasa sa unang bahagi
ng aplikasyon, hihingin ng web system ang iba pang personal na detalye
ng aplikante katulad ng pangalan ng
mga bepisyaryo, tirahan, civil status
at contact information. Pagkatapos ay
ipapadala sa email address ng OFW
ang kanyang SS number,” dagdag ni
See.
Ang SS number na inisyu online ay
“temporary” hanggang makapagprisinta ng iba pang dokumento ang OFW
katulad ng birth o baptismal certificate
o valid passport sa alinmang sangay
ng SSS sa loob at labas ng Pilipinas.
Kapag permanente na ang SS number, maaari nang mag-apply ang OFW
ng mga benepisyo sa SSS, loans at
maging ng Unified Multipurpose Identification (UMID) card.
Kung may mga katanungan tungkol sa online issuance ng SS number
at iba pang programa sa SSS, maaaring idulog ito sa OFW Contact Service Unit sa numerong 364-7796 o
364-7798, Lunes hanggang Biyernes
mula alas-6 ng umaga hanggang ala10 ng gabi (oras sa Pilipinas). Maaari
ding magpadala ng email sa ofw.relations@sss.gov.ph o mag-post ng tanong sa SSS Facebook page (https://
www.facebook.com/SSSPh).
–Press release
Kahit nasa labas ng bansa ay maaari
nang mag-apply ng Social Security
System (SSS) membership number
ang mga Overseas Filipino Workers
(OFW) sa pamamagitan ng SSS Website (www.sss.gov.ph) para masimulan
ang pag-iipon para sa pagreretiro.
Ayon kay Judy Frances See, SSS
Senior Vice President ng Accounts
Management Group at Concurrent
Head ng International Operations Division, ang online issuance ng social
security o “SS” number para sa mga
OFWs, pati na rin sa iba pang mga
empleyado, ay bahagi sa website enhancements na ipinapatupad ng ahensya.
“Noon, kailangang personal na pumunta ang mga empleyado sa anumang sangay ng SSS para personal
na mag-apply ng kanilang SS number
kaya hirap ang OFWs na makakuha
ng SS number bago umalis ng bansa. Nawawalan sila ng pagkakataong
mag-ipon at paghandaan ang kanilang
pagreretiro habang nagta-trabaho sa
ibang bansa. Ang online issuance ng
SS number ang siyang sagot sa problemang ito,” sabi ni See.
Ang nakuhang SS number mula sa
online facility ay maaari na ring gamitin
para magbayad ng kontribusyon. Bilang ispesyal na konsiderasyon, may
extended payment deadlines na inilaan
ng SSS para sa mga OFWs. Maaaring bayaran ng OFWs ang kanilang
kontribusyon mula Enero hanggang
Disyembre anumang araw sa loob ng
taong kasalukuyan. Samantala, ang
kontribusyon mula Oktubre hanggang
Disyembre ng taong kasalukuyan ay
tatanggapin hanggang January 31 ng
susunod na taon.
“Maaari ring gamitin ng mga OFWs
ang kanilang SS number para sumali sa Flexi-Fund Program ng SSS. Ito
ay isang voluntary provident fund para
sa mga miyembrong OFW na nagbabayad ng kanilang buwanang kontribusyon batay sa kanilang idineklarang buwanang kita na hindi bababa
ng P16,000. Ang Flexi-Fund savings
ay karagdagang paraan para makapag-ipon sa kinabukasan maliban sa

Pamintuan cites AC parks, Plaza Angel in urban forum
ANGELES CITY - This
city’s parks and public spaces took center
stage as Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan shared
the Angeles City experience on the topic Public spaces in the Urban
Environment during the
World Cities Day Urban
Forum held Tuesday at
the Blue Leaf Filipinas,
City of Dreams, Paran-
aque City.
Pamintuan was the
only mayor invited to become a resource speaker in the forum.
The mayor shared
the success story of how
the local government, in
partnership with stakeholders and the community, on the rehabilitation, improvement and
beautification of various
abandoned spaces, and
turn them into public or
community spaces.
“The formula in the
creation of these public parks is community
involvement, strong political will and the vision
to see and make things
happen.” said the mayor,
hoping that his presentation would inspire other
local government units
to transform their vacant
lots into beautiful public
spaces.
Among the highlights
of his presentation was
the transformation of the
abandoned PNR railways track into a fourzoned park that features
an ornamental plant
garden, vegetable garden, public playground,
sports areas and a cul-
Template. Mayor Ed Pamintuan’s city park projects raise interest among urban planners.

Bulacan ex-gov nagsampa ng P10-M
libel laban sa ex-vice mayor ng Makati
Ni Rommel Ramos
4
LUNGSOD NG MALOLOS --- Nagsampa ng
P10-million na kasong
libelo si dating Bulacan
Gov. Roberto Pagdanganan laban kina dating
Makati Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado at mamamahayag ng Tempo na
si Jun Ramirez.
Ayon sa walong pahinang reklamo ni Pagdanganan na kanyang
inihain sa Bulacan Prosecutors Office, inirereklamo niya sina Mercado at Ramirez matapos lumabas sa Tempo
noong ika-7 ng Oktubre
2015 ang artikulo na
may titulong “Binay faces plunder for Alphaland
deal”.
Binanggit umano ni
Mercado sa artikulong
ito na isa si Pagdanganan sa mga sinampahan ng kaso sa Ombudsman kaugnay ng umano’y bentahan ng Makati
land sa Boy Scout of the
Philippines sa umano’y
underpriced na P600
million sa P3 billion na
inabot ng transaksyon.
Ayon kay Pagdanganan, ni hindi siya na-notify ng Ombudsman sa
reklamong ito at ni hindi siya pinasasagot sa
reklamo.
Nilabag din, aniya,
dito ang batas na ang
mga kasong isinasampa
sa Ombudsman ay tinuturing na confidential at
tanging ito lamang ang
maaring maglabas ng
mga impormasyon na
ito.
Binigyang diin pa ni
Pagdanganan na isina-
ma siya ni Mercado sa
17 pinangalanan sa artikulo mula sa 45 na
miyembro ng Board of
Trustees ng Boy Scout
of the Philippines na
pinangalanan
gayong
batid naman nito na hindi siya kasama sa mga
nag-apruba ng joint venture agreement.
Hindi rin, aniya, tama
na batikusin ni Mercado ang Alphaland Boy
Scout deal dahil si Mercado mismo ang nag-negotiate at nagsara nito
sa Alphaland.
Layunin kasi umano ni Mercado na sirain
hindi lamang si Vice
President Jejomar Binay
kundi maging ang lahat ng nakapaligid dito
gaya ng mga miyembro
ng Board of Trustees ng
Boy Scouts na pinanini-
walaan nitong dikit kay
Binay.
Matapos na i-file ni
Mercado ang reklamong
plunder sa Ombudsman
laban kay Binay at mga
miyembro ng Board of
Trustees ng Boy Scout
ay
nagpatawag
ito
ng press conference
na isinulat naman ni
Ramirez ang artikulo
nang hindi umano inalam ang katotohanan.
Hinihiling ni Pagdanganan sa kanyang
reklamo ang moral damages na hindi bababa sa
P10 million.
Bukod kay Pagdanganan ay magsasampa
din umano ng kasong libelo laban kina Mercado
ang 16 pang miyembro
ng Board of Trustees ng
Boy Scout of the Philippines.

Estacion de Angeles
People’s Park became
the inspiration of other communities to turn
the unused space of the
PNR in their jurisdiction
into similar parks, gardens and community
centers. It spawned the
creation of other parks in
the city, such as the Plaza Sto. Cristo, Hardin de
Balibago, Jumong Park,
Friends of Ed Park,
Tabun Park, the Perimeter Fence and Plaza
Matua.
What impressed the
audience the most was
when Pamintuan said
that the development of
the parks came at no
cost to the city government.
The Angeles City
mayor also presented
the development of Plaza Angel and the Heritage District, which saw
the removal of the unused and unsightly wires
and cables that marred
the view of the centuries-old Holy Rosary
Parish Church.
“Today, we can probably say that the Plaza
Angel is one of the most
‘trending’ places to be
in Angeles City, where
people would sit down,
order a cup of warm and
hearty tsokolateng batirol from the Café Museo,
and enjoy the breathtaking view of the old
church.” he said.
Joining the mayor during the forum are
Nathaniel “Dinky” Von
Einsiedel, Urban Planner from UN-Habitat
and Atty. Ave Tolentino,
Director of the Housing
and Urban development
Coordinating Council.
The forum is part of
Urban October, which
started with the celebration of World Habitat Day on October 5
and ends with the celebration of World Cities Day on October 31.
The forum’s focus was
on Sustainable Development Goal 11, which
advocates making cities
and human settlements
inclusive, safe, resilient
and sustainable.
Said forum was organized by the Housing
and Urban development
Coordinating
Council,
League of Cities of the
Philippines, the Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners and
United Nations Human
Settlements Programme
(UN-Habitat).

Archbishop invites
faithful to ‘Kanawan’
Confab on integral dev’t, social responsibility
By Ashley Manabat
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – A conference on integral development and
social responsibility will
be held on Nov. 12 in
celebration of the Year of
the Poor and the Social
Action Center of Pampanga’s (SACOP) silver
jubilee.
The
conference
called, “Kanawan,” will
be held from 9 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. at the Good
Shepherd Hall, EPHATHA Development Center, SACOP, in Barangay
Maimpis here.
Kanawan is being
promoted by the Archdiocese of San Fernando,
Pampanga in collaboration with SACOP and
the University of the As-
sumption (UA).
Archbishop Florentino G. Lavarias, who also
chairs the SACOP Board
of Trustees, signed the
invitation to the Kanawan
conference which aims
to “provide a meaningful venue in disseminating relevant information
through short documentaries about poverty statistics and faces of poverty in the national and
local setting; identify the
social perspectives of integral development and
socio-economic gaps of
programs that fell short
in addressing the economic conditions of the
marginalized and indigents; benchmark various best practices in
facing challenges and
issues brought about
by poor socio-economic conditions; rekindle
greater commitment and
ownership in search of
a common vision and
strategy for integral development and social responsibility; and establish more opportunities
among decision makers
to re-engineer or create
more responsive programs on poverty reduction and alleviation.”
Lavarias said he is
promoting the Kanawan
conference and extends
the invitation to the Catholic faithful “as an advocate of and a major
stakeholder in the fight
against poverty.”
Kanawan is a Kapampangan word which
means “enlightenment”
in English.

IT WAS a picture that launched a hundred searches in the web, only to find an
interesting story in my own blog.
Do we still pray
on All Saints’ Day?

IT’S PICNIC time. With all those baskets of food
and chichiria edging out the flowers and candles
atop the whitewashed tombs.
It’s a family feast. Catered culinary delights in
stainless food warmers laid out atop linened tables
inside stately mausoleums.
It’s the kids’ selfie and groufie time. Flashes off
iPhones recording, uploading, sharing every atthe-moment move.
It’s the casino, a la pobre, not royale. Pekwa,
pusuy, tonghits, sakla – the tombs again serving
as convenient tables. For the sosyal, it’s mahjong,
complete with the felt-topped four-drawered mesa.
And in the not so distant past – before the police
crackdown – it was libation time for the devotees
of both San Miguel and markang dimonyo, in a
clear parody of the moment, given the drinks’
representation of heaven and hell, the very core
of the celebration of the feast of all saints and
all souls. Thereby the Pinoy banal transformed
into the English banal. The spirituous diluting the
spiritual.
Truly, with the loss of campo santo in favor of the
sementeryo in our local vocabulary, the holiness of
the ground upon which we lay our dead to rest lies
now blasphemed in cemented edifices to vanities
of material wealth.
Really now, pray tell, do we still invoke the
intercession of the saints and offer some prayers
for our beloved dead on these holy days?
That was that of Mabalacat City Mayor
Marino “Boking” Morales at his best oratorical
pose addressing his supporters prior to filing
his certificate of candidacy. Which he withdrew
days later.
What caught the eye of readers was the
dominant titan of Mabalacat politics for over two
decades, uncharacteristically dwarfed by the
bold brass inscription “DELFIN S. LEE BLDG.”
on the façade of city hall.
Did we see some augury for Boking there
that piqued our curiosity? No, we just suddenly
missed Delfin Lee. Hence, this reminiscence
from a 2009 feature headlined San Delfin de
Xevera
THERE MAY be no “Delfin” entered as
yet in the Calendar of Saints of the Roman
Catholic Church but already a San Delfin de
Xevera is enshrined in the hearts of many
Kapampangans.
Hear Mabalacat Mayor Marino “Boking”
Morales speak of Delfin Lee and come to the
conclusion that, indeed, the man – Delfin, not
Boking – has met the full measure of miracles
requisite to a canonization.
“Delfin Lee is the greatest miracle that
has ever happened to my town. See how he
transformed the howling wilderness of lahar
that is Barangay Tabun, into the bustling,
cosmopolitan community that is XeveraMabalacat,” the mayor said in awe.
“There is inherent goodness in his heart, so
manifest in his willingness to invest, not only his
material resources, but his very self in uplifting
the dignity of his fellowmen, most especially the
small people. When you come to think of it, isn’t
that what sainthood is all about, the giving of
self for others?”
On Delfin Lee, the very secular, even
bohemian Boking suddenly turns theological!
Isn’t this a miracle in itself?
On a purely secular level now is Pampanga
1st District Rep. Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin
speaking: “If there is one person that can
help uplift the lives of Filipinos by solving the
problem of informal settlers in the country, that
will be Delfin Lee.”
The scion of Pampanga’s landed gentry
could only gush in admiration: “I am also a
developer but with what Delfin Lee did to
Xevera, he upped the ante, making it a difficult
challenge for us to emulate.”
In his column Etcetera in the weekly Banner,
Emilio Sese-Cruz had this to say in the piece
headlined “Only Xevera, only Delfin Lee,” to
wit: “Delfin Lee never ceases to cause wonder.
No, make that awe…This is one guy who has
redefined the whole concept, and practice, of
land development.
Where other developers simply build houses,
Delfin Lee – ALONE – builds communities.
Not just communities, mind you, but total
communities not simply meeting the needs of
the inhabitants, but respecting, if not uplifting,
their very dignity.”
A tough act to follow indeed!
For no less than the United Nations
recognized the Xevera projects as “the
template for urban development” and
Delfin Lee as “a developer who, through
harmonious relationships among the private
sector, government sector, and various nongovernment organizations, has come up with
a sustainable project that will help decongest
highly-urbanized areas.”
Of deeper appreciation for Delfin Lee’s
vision, mission and initiatives than that stated
in the UN citation is the fact that he built his
templates upon virtual wastelands – Calibutbut
in Bacolor which may not have been swamped
in the lahar rampages but was not spared from
the heavy ashfall of the Mt. Pinatubo eruptions,
and now, Tabun in Mabalacat which – true to
its Kapampangan name – was indeed buried
in lahar. A missionary spirit obtains in Delfin
Lee there, treading – so to speak – where
even angels feared to tread. So how many
missionaries have become saints?
A church builder, Delfin Lee is too – the place
of worship ever at the center of the communities
he builds: Sanctuario de San Miguel in XeveraBacolor, and Sanctuario de San Angelo in
Xevera-Mabalacat, which immediately upon
completion of construction are turned over to
Mother Church, with deeds of donation to the
Archdiocese of San Fernando (Pampanga).
In early medieval times, Delfin Lee’s churchbuilding efforts would have easily merited a
cardinal’s hat for him, and a sure beatification.
That’s too far-off an era now, and Delfin
Lee would be the first to disavow any claim to
holiness.
The accolades heaped upon him, Delfin Lee
accepts with all humility, and considers them as
challenges for him to do even better: “We feel
honored (by the recognition). These will further
inspire us to provide optimum services for the
betterment of the lives of Filipinos.”
As a Punto! editorial once concluded: “More
than a field of dreams – remember that line,
“Build it and they will come”? – Delfin Lee has
made that cherished dream of every Filipino
– to have a house of his own – come to full
realization. And more – a home in a community
befitting of human dignity.”
Fittingly then – even unbeatified and
uncanonized and therefore without the
reverential “San” before his name, Delfin Lee of
Xevera is enshrined in every heart in every one
of those homes.

AH, the vagaries of fate! The man virtually
revered atop a pedestal then languishes now in
the Pampanga Provincial Jail.
Ah, the viciousness of politics! The man twice
set to testify at the Binay “corruption” hearings
at the Senate -- with advice from the Supreme
Court at that! – barred at the last moment.
Ah, dura lex! How many TROs, petitions and
other remedies have been issued, reaching the
SC itself, still Delfin Lee has yet to have his day
in court.

Narcisa de Leon is born
in San Miguel, Bulacan
On October 29, 1877,
Narcisa de Leon, AKA Doña
Sisang, the “Grand Old Lady”
of the Philippine movie industry, was born in San Miguel,
Bulacan to Justo Buencamino and Anastacia Lim.
Doña Sisang headed as
president the family-owned
L.V.N. pictures, the pillar of
local filmmaking, producing
big stars, and helping popularize Tagalog movies.
In 1904, she married a former capitan municipal of San
Miguel, Jose “Pepe” de Leon.
She bore him five children:
Florencia, Encarnacion, Pelagio (who died in infancy),
Manuel, and Amanda (Mrs.
Bienvenido Eraña).
In 1938, her friends
asked Doña Sisang to invest in the movie industry.
She was elected president of
L.V.N. Pictures, Inc., in 1940.
Through her stewardship, it
became the primary company
to popularize Philippine movies.
Doña Sisang died on February 6, 1966, three months
after her 88th birthday.

Go visit dead on Nov. 1, but...
November 1 is becoming less and less All Saints’ Day. For kids, especially, it’s halloween, the time to don costumes, preferably terrifying ones, to scare for fun
or fear. Gone is the lesson of death whose meaning is, perhaps subconsciously,
distorted by the suggestion that passing on means turning into a zombie. No one
wants zombiehood. Thus, death becomes terror.
More than anything else, Nov. 1 (include Nov.
2 which is All Souls’ Day) is not only time to
remember the beloved dead, but to pray for
them. In Medjugorje, the Blessed Mother said
that most people who die land in Purgatory,
there to stay until they are purgated of impurities
to make them worthy of perfect Heaven. The
period of their purgatorial cleansing, however,
could be hastened by the Church militant, that
is, all who are still living on earth.
Let’s recall that the Blessed Mother said in
Medjugorje on Nov. 6, 1986:
“Dear children: Today I wish to call you to
pray daily for souls in Purgatory. For every
soul, prayer and grace is necessary to reach
God and the love of God. By doing this, dear
children, you obtain new intercessors who will
help you in life to realize that all earthly things
are not important for you, that only Heaven is
that which is necessary to strive for. Therefore,
dear children, pray without ceasing that you
may be able to help yourselves and the others
to whom your prayers will bring joy. Thank you
for having responded to my call.”
This message conveys two very important
points. First, that prayer is needed by those in
Purgatory and, second, that those in Purgatory
are grateful and would intercede for us in return.
There’s yet another very important
matter on our departed. While sympathizers
during wakes tend to comfort bereaved
relatives with statements like “Don”t worry,
he is in Heaven now,” or statements from
the bereaved consoling themselves with yet
another declaration that their dead are “In a
better place now and are happy with God,”
presumptuousness could only push the
departed to misery. The Blessed Mother, as
already stated here, had said in Medjugorje
that most people pass through Purgatory and
this passage could be shortened by us on
earth through Masses, prayers. To declare the
dead as already being in Heaven is also to
say they no longer need prayers for liberation.
Consoling ourselves is good, but never at the
expense of the departed whose fate lies solely
in the hands of earth dwellers.
In a documented case of communication
between an earth-living nun and a departed
who had landed in Purgatory, the soul said the
following: “I know when you pray for me, and it
is the same with all of the other souls here in
Purgatory. Very few of us here get any prayers;
the majority of us are totally abandoned, with
no thought or prayers offered for us from those
on earth.”
If we love our departed, shall we allow them
abandoned to such fate? Okay that we visit
cemeteries on Nov. 1, but beyond the physical
externals, we must pray for them. If we still
love them, we must pray for them. If we want
intercessors in Heaven, we must pray for them. Batas sa
eleksyon dapat
nang baguhin
Sa pakiwari ko, ang ating halalan
Dito sa atin ay parang laruan lang
Nitong iba nating mga kababayan
Na nag-file ng kani-kanyang CoC riyan
Partikular na sa pinakamataas
Na puestong dapat ay taong de kalidad
At nakapag-aral lamang itong sukat
Payagan, (at yan ay dapat isabatas)
Upang magkarun ng tamang panuntunan
Ang gobyerno hinggil sa puntong naturan,
At di tulad nitong kahit sino na lang
Ay basta na lamang puedeng humabol diyan.
Papano nga kasi, dala na rin nitong
Ang batas tungkol sa ‘Philippine Elections’
Ay sobra kaluwag kaya’t di makontrol
Ng COMELEC mismo ang gustong humabol.
At yan ay sanhi na rin syempre marahil
Nitong ‘welcome’ kahit sino ang dumating
Diyan sa ‘Commission on Elections’ natin,
‘Provided that he can read and write everything?’
Kaya naman hayan ng dahil sa batas
Na yan ng Comelec, na sobra kaluwag,
Aba’y suma-total ang mga ‘aspirants’
Na maging Pangulo, siyento beinte (120) lahat?
Bakit di baguhin ng mga Congressman
At mga Senador ang batas hinggil diyan
Upang sa gayon ay magkaroon naman
Sila ng respeto sa bagay na iyan?
Sana baguhin na ang kasalukuyang
Batas sa eleksyon ng pamahalaan,
At hangga’t maari kanilang higpitan
Ang mga dapat na maging panuntunan.
Solidong lakas ng Bayung Capas
team sa pangunguna ni Mayor TJ
Buo at solido ang lakas ng Bayung Capas Team
sa pangunguna ni incumbent
Mayor TJ Rodriguez katuwang
si Vice Mayor Boots Rodriguez at ang buong sangguniang bayan nang sila ay magfile ng Certificate of Candidacy
nitong Oktubre 16, 2015.
Ang lahat ng 20 Punong
Barangay ng Capas sa pangunguna ni ABC President
Arnold Arcilla ay dumalo at
ipinakita ang kanilang pakikiisa, gayundin ang ibat-ibang
sektor tulad ng mga Kebabaynan, magsasaka, kabataan,
senior citizens, Gaybabaynan,
mga TODA at JODA, pati ang
business at religious sector.
Dumalo rin si 3rd District
Rep. Noel Villanueva, 2nd District Rep. Susan Yap, at ang
tatlong Board Member ng 3rd
District na sina BM Tootsie
Cruz. Carlito “Casada” David
at Saturnino “Boy” Mandal.
Mahigit isang libo katao ang
dumalo sa Misa na ginanap
sa San Nicholas De Tolentino
Parish Church Church alas-siyete ng umaga na sinundan
naman ng parade patungo sa
municipal covered court na
kung saan ay ginanap ang
isang programa bago nag-file
ng candidacy sa Comelec ang
line-up ni Mayor TJ.
“Ang pagkakaisa ng lahat
ng elected public officials sa
Capas mula sa barangay level, municipal level hanggang
sa provincial level ay susi sa
mabilis na pag-unlad ng aming bayan na aming nakamit
at ang paglawak ng mga serbisyo para sa mga Capaseño,”
paliwanag ni Mayor Rodriguez.
Si Mayor Rodriguez ay kakandidato sa kanyang pangatlo at huling termino. Sa
kanyang administrasyon ang
budget ng munisipyo ay lumaki ng 80% mula P156 Milyon noong 2009 at ngayon ay
P278 milyon na o paglaki ng
P122 milyon. Sa susunod
na taon ay madodoble na ito
at magiging P310 million na.
Ang Capas na ngayon ang
may pinakamalaking budget
sa lahat ng mga munisipyo sa
buong lalawigan ng Tarlac.
Ang mga local sources of
revenue o kita ng munisipyo
ay lumaki ng P164 % mula P24
milyon noong 2009 na ngayon
ay P63 milyon na. Ang Internal
Revenue Allotment o IRA ay
P240 milyon na ngayon kumpara sa P132 milyon noong
2009 o 62% na paglaki. Consistent No. 1 din ang Capas sa
real property tax collections.
Ang line-up ni Mayor TJ sa
Sangguniang Bayan ay ang
mga incumbent councilors na
sina Juliet Cabagan, Ford Laxamana, Jake Lopez, Dan Dizon, Clarita Macaraeg, Benz
Pineda, Alex Espinosa at dating Punong Barangay Reynaldo Ramos. –Press Release
Una ay depende sana sa posisyon
Ng sinumang nagnanais na humabol
Ang sukatan ng kanyang kualipikasyon,
Upang ang ganyan ay lubusang makontrol.
Kung saan dapat ay nakatuntong man lang
Ng kolehiyo at yan ay may kakayahang
Gumastos para sa kandidatura niyan
Ng ‘millions of pesos’ bago ma-qualify.
Hindi sa gusto kong hamakin ang iba
Na nagsipag-file ng ‘candidacy’ nila,
Pero anong kakayahang mangampanya
Ng ‘tricycle driver’ at karpintero pa?
At baka sa lungsod lamang ng Maynila
Ang maglibot ay di niya kayang magawa,
Dahilan na rin sa sila ay kapos nga
Sa perang kailangan para makagala.
At upang lubusang mawala ang ganyang
Kahit sino na lang ay puedeng sumawsaw,
Di kaya marapat ay itaas naman
Natin ang antas ng pambansang halalan?
At ito’y takdaan natin ng ‘filing fee’:
Na ‘fifty millions’ para sa Presidente,
‘Twenty millions ‘ para sa magiging Bise
At ‘five millions’ para sa Senador pati.
Upang itong mga magsasamais lang
Ay di na maaring bastusin ng ganyan
Ang maselang bagay na kinakailangang
Ilagay sa wasto at dapat igalang!
At di gaya nitong parang binababoy
Na ng ibang tao ang ating eleksyon,
Dala riyan ng batas, na aywan kung sinong
Mga mambabatas ang mga nagsulong?

Bishop issues pastoral letter vs. mining
From page 1
with green, fertile fields
and mountains, rivers
with clean and enough
waters for bountiful harvests. “But these will all
go to naught if we permit
mining to push through.
Mining will bring destruction to our environment,”
the prelate said.
He said areas that
undertook mining have
barren lands, dried and
polluted rivers, impoverished agriculture, deforestation and natural reserves depleted. He said
that workers in mining
firms are in dire poverty
and their health threatened.
Santos claimed that
only to benefit from mining are the capitalists and
government officials who
will permit the operation.
“We will be the ones to
shoulder the problems
caused by mining during
and after it ceases operating,” he said.
“Sa pagpapahalaga
at pagmamahal sa mga
nilikha ng ating mahal
na Panginoong Diyos at
tungo sa tama at totoong
pangangalaga at pag-iin-
gat sa ating lalawigan ng
Bataan, kami na inyong
mga pari ay tutol at tututol sa ano mang balaking
pagmimina sa Bataan,”
the bishop said.
Santos is Episcopal
chairman for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and
Itinerant People of the
Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.
Ghostly orbs gone at Clark cemetery
From page 1
8
The orbs, or balls of
light, have never been
reported since last year.
Guy Hilbero, executive officer of the
26th Cavalry Philippine
Scouts Memorial Regiment here, said the
souls of the hundreds of
people, mostly veterans
of US-fought wars before World War II, must
have found rest.
He noted that it was
last year that the American Battle Monuments
Commission
(ABMC)
took over the responsibility of maintaining the
Clark cemetery, after
Pres. Obama signed in
2013 a law that allowed
this.
Hilbero recalled that
last year, the US and
Philippine governments
signed an agreement
that paved the way for
the ABMC to restore and
operate the cemetery,
largely through the Veterans of Foreign Wars
(VFW) Post 2485 based
in nearby Angeles City.
The cemetery was
badly damaged by the
1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo a few days after
the Americans abandoned the US Clark Air
Force base here. VFW
members in Angeles,
mostly American expatriates, volunteered to
maintain the cemetery
through donations.
“Most of those buried
at the Clark cemetery
suffered sudden deaths
in US-fought wars before World War II, so
their souls did not immediately find rest because
of their trauma. That
could explain reports of
apparitions at the cemetery, at least before the
US takeover of the cemetery’s management,”
Hilbero said.
He noted that the remains of at least one
Aeta count among the
thousands of the remains of Americans, Filipinos, and others of various nationalities buried
at Clark.
“His name was Kudiaro Laxamana who was
given the honorary rank
of colonel by the US
Air Force for his bravery during World War II,”
Hilbero said. Laxamana
was killed in the 1970’s
over ancestral land conflict, but was posthumously honored by the
Americans in 1995.
Laxamana reportedly
killed 50 Japanese soldiers in his effort to hide
and protect the lives of
10 US soldiers on the
slopes of Mt. Pinatubo during the last world
war.
“I think that Kudiaro
is again honored by his
being buried in the Clark
cemetery now officially under the care of the
American Battle Monuments
Commission
which honors those who
had valiantly died in US
wars,” said Hilbero.
Hilbero noted that
the present Clark Veterans Cemetery, near
Clark Freeport’s main
gate, was actually established in 1948 to accommodate the remains
of some 5,000 persons,
mostly Americans who
had died in US foreign wars before WWII,
who were buried in Fort
McKinley in the outskirts
of Manila, as well as remains from yet two other American cemeteries
within Clark.
“Now, the location of
one of the former cemeteries, somewhere within Mimosa golf area, is
said to be more haunted
than the present cemetery. A building for a
restaurant was built on
that site after the Americans left and Clark converted into a Philippine
economic zone, but
the building has never
been completed amid its
haunted reputation,” Hilbero said.
With the US government now maintaining
it, the Clark cemetery
is well kept, its uniform
white tombstones upright amid a carpet of
green bermuda grass.
But most of the dead
there will remain unvisited on Nov. 1, because
apart from some markers that extol them as
heroes, decades have
made them anonymous
to relatives.

RE: Petition for CARP coverage filed by
Herminia Belleza, et al., noted by Freddie I.
Belleza, Jr., as BARC Chairman of Barangay
Sto. Niño, Lubao, Pampanga, involving
landholding identified as Lot No. 1-1-4-C
with an aggregate area of 8.1115 hectares,
more or less, previously owned by Dennis
Dayrit, et al., situated at Barangay San
Rafael and Prado, Lubao, Pampanga.
x-------------------------------------------------------x
ORDER
The above-named petitioners, namely: Herminia Belleza, Reng
Ocampo, Alberto Roldan, Alberto Mallari, Crisanto
Cruz, Julieta Laxamana, Maricar Ocampo, James Cruz,
Sonny Cruz, Jeffrey Belleza, Charley Corollo, Zenaido
Macaspac, Ernesto Datu, Sharon Gozun, Conrado Reyes,
Glenn Belleza as herein noted by Freddie I. Belleza, Jr., in his
capacity as BARC Chairman of Sto. Niño, Lubao, Pampanga, jointly filed this
instant Petition, seeking among others for the coverage involving that property
located at Barangays San Rafael and Prado, Municipality of Lubao, Province
of Pampanga.
As culled from the records, the subject matter of this controversy involves
two [2] parcels of land indentified as Lot 1-1-4-B embraced under Transfer
Certificate of Title (TCT) No. 299653-R; and Lot 1-1-4-C covered by Transfer
Certificate of Title (TCT) No. 299654-R with an area of 8.1115 hectares, more
or less.
The subject properties were originally registered in the name of landowner,
Dennis Dayrit. Subsequently, the same were sold and consequently transferred
in the name of Marlene G. Base; Malliza I. Fortaliza and Edwin Roceles,
respectively.
According to the report, prior to the resolution of the instant petition, the
landowners seasonably filed an Opposition to the petition for coverage with
prayer for disqualification and exclusion.
In their opposition, oppositors-landowners asserted that the petition came
as a surprise since the petitioners are not even legitimate/bonafide tenants of the
land. Conversely, there are legitimate farm workers within the said lands but due
to force, intimidation and threats they were forcibly dispossessed of said lands
by herein petitioners.
The petition was initially evaluated by the Legal Services Division (Legal for
brevity). After considering the allegations proferred by the contending parties,
the Legal opined that the subject properties were among those identified and
recommended for coverage and now being processed by the Land Tenure
Services [LTS] Division of Pampanga.
The basis upon said coverage made was due to the fact that based on
ocular inspection only Lot 1-1-4-C was found to be still classified as agricultural.
Thus, a Notice of Coverage has already been sent thereto by the LTS Division.
Hence viewed therefrom, the Legal Services Division recommended that
Lot No. 1-1-4-C embraced under TCT No. 299654-R be covered under CARP
pursuant to R.A. 6657 as amended.
Records show that prior to this instant petition, a similar case was filed
wherein an Order has been issued, the decretal portion of which reads as
follows:
“WHEREFORE, premises considered, x x x
“x x x DAR Personnel/Officers concerned are directed to
determine whether Lots 1-1-4-B and 1-1-4-C are indeed coverable
under the land reform program of the government.
SO ORDERED.” (Underscoring supplied)
wherein the report and recommendation submitted by the Legal in support
hereof appeared to be a compliance of said Order issued thereunder.
It was further established by the Legal that the Land Tenure Service [LTS]
of DAR Provincial Office of Pampanga has already prepared and sent notices of
coverage over the subject landholdings recommending for its coverage.
In resolving the matter at issue, this Office ought to revisit the law where
the barometer in placing a particular land under the operation of land reform is
its suitability are arability to agriculture.
This finds support in Republic Act No. 6657, as amended, which
provides that “The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law of 1988 shall cover,
regardless of tenurial arrangement and commodity produced, all public and
private agricultural lands x x x including other lands of public domain suitable
for agriculture: Provided, that landholdings of landowners with a total area of
five hectares and below shall not be covered for acquisition and distribution to
qualified farmer beneficiaries.
More specifically, the following lands are covered by CARP: x x x [d] All
private lands devoted to or suitable for agriculture regardless of the agricultural
products raised or that can be raised thereon x x x.” [Italics with emphasis
supplied]
Considering that it was found that one of the subject land is agriculturally
productive, thence, the foregoing provision is squarely applicable hereto.
Besides, the subject land is owned by the afore-named individuals whose
ownership exceeds the allowable ceiling or limit of five [5] hectares provided
for by law.
Finding valid reason exists in the instant case, ergo, this Office rules and so
holds that the coverage of the subject land in so far as Lot 1-1-4-C is concerned
under the operation of land reform is justified.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, an Order is hereby issued directing
the PARPO and DAR Personnel concerned to continue the processing and
documentation only is so far as Lot 1-1-4-C with an area of 8.1115 hectares,
more or less, covered by Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) No. 299654-R for
distribution to qualified beneficiaries in accordance with law.
Further, the issue as to the disqualification of beneficiaries is a matter which
will be properly threshed out in the process of acquisition and distribution in
accordance with existing policy guidelines on the matter.
Finally, the DAR reserves the right to withdraw this Order in case of
misrepresentation of facts material to its issuance and violation of pertinent
agrarian laws including applicable implementing guidelines or rules and
regulations.
SO ORDERED.

Vina Morales nahihilig
sa mga lalaking may sabit
Kontrtobersyal na naman ang buhay-pag-ibig ni Vina Morales. It’s common knowledge she has a
daughter with the controversial Cedric Lee of Vhong Navarro-Deniece Cornejo fame. Cedric is very much
married with kids and she came out like the number 2 in their relationship. Recently, she admitted she has
a new BF but she wants to keep him private. It turns our her beau, a Frenchman named Marc Lambert,
just sired a daughter with Avi Siwa, a model and former FHM cover girl who once claimed she’s bisexual
in a short-lived TV show, “Out”, about gays that she hosted on GMA-7. Avi has posted some derogatory
revelations about Vina in her social media account and we’re sure Vina will not be pleased about it. Here are
some of the posts that are self explanatory and which we abbreviated because they’re kilometric. It seems
Vina thought Marc has called it quits with Avi, but Avi denies this: “NO, we didn’t just break up, me & Marc are
hooking up during the 9 months (of her pregnancy) so you were fooled. NO, you don’t know everything abt
me & Marc so stop talking like u do, just based on some emails. Why dont u instead spend your time caring
for Ceana [name of Vina’s daughter] instead of trying to be d ultimate desperate (literally) housewife. Yes, we
know you’re 40 years old & desperately needing a husband who can take ur shit because no one wants to,
makes a lot of sense.”
Another post of Avi says: “@vina_morales I changed my mind. Stay d hell out of my parenting w/ MARC
LAMBERT. Ur a new girlfriend & u don’t have any right to tell me how I should deal w/ this. Even if u get a ring
on ur finger, u have no right to stand between my child & her Dad. Don’t bring your insecurities in my social
media. But if u like to embarrass urself more, go ahead pls do so & I’ll spill here how your fans are so wrong
abt their ‘goodie-two-shoes’ idol. You’re no angel, & I surely am not one too - it takes one to know one - so
pls stop trying to look innocent to Marc to get him to the altar, we can smell your stink miles from here. You
are flipping out w/a small cropped photo of Marc, saying I can’t post his photo w/ his child & then stopping
his visitation to his daughter because he wasn’t @ your birthday. Then sending nasty comments here & then
saying u want to meet my child. You are d biggest plastic loser I’ve ever met. I don’t buy ur lies, & NO we
don’t have the same story - u’ve been spoiled by Cedric during ur pregnancy & got paid good support while I
was alone all throughout mine w/ support not as huge as yours - so be grateful. So let me be d one to give u
a ‘very friendly reminder’, know ur position (you’re only 2 months w/ Marc), recognize AVI SIWA the mother of
ur current BF’s child is NO SUCKER & don’t stop Marc again from seeing his child. If your game is destroying
families, then u made the wrong move on destroying mine. Don’t u ever talk to me that way again. Watch what
u say next if u don’t want the whole country knowing your dirty little secrets Ms. Pa-Innocent Face. You’re
disgusting.”
There are other posts but from the above alone, you’ll more or less already get the picture. Looks like Vina
has gotten herself into another messy relationship as Avi is a combative type, very palaban and not afraid
to display her dirty linen in public. It’ll be recalled that this also happened before when she fell in love with
Robin Padilla, who she didn’t know was then already very much married to Liezl Sicangco. As one newshen
quipped: “Hindi ba siya puede kumuha ng lalaking walang sabit?”
When someone tried to interview, she chose to just keep quiet, saying ‘’hayaan na lang natin siya.”
Aljur in slow recovery
Masama ang mga nakaraang taon para sa career ni Aljur Abrenica. He’s hoping the historical movie
“Hermano Puli” where he’ll play the title role and which is an entry in the coming Metro Manila Filmfest will
help boost his currently dormant career. But it has now been officially pulled out due to lack of financiers so
his hopes of having a filmfest entry just went up in smoke.
As we all know, after Aljur rebelled against GMA-7 and filed a case for the termination of his contract with
GMA Artist Center, his career took a nosedive as no one sided with him. He was then obviously in a hurry
to hit it bigger after Paulo Avelino, who was also in his batch, became a bigger star when he moved to ABSCBN. But GMA-7 doesn’t really neglect him as he’s given shows regularly.
He was only 17 when he started in Starstruck 5. He’s now 25 years old.
We hope he has now learned his lesson: that you can’t rush things.
That things will happen, if they’d indeed happen, sa tamang panahon, just like in the case of Alden
Richards who was even rejected then in Starstruck.
Aljur is thankful that after doing a guest stint in “The Half Sisters”, he is now finally given a regular show in
“Dangwa”, where he’ll figure in a love triangle with Janine Gutierrez and Mark Herras.
“Finally, I’m here again,” he says. “I’m thankful sa naging journey ko. I’ve always been a Kapuso naman.”
So is his legal case with GMA now officially settled? “Hindi pa totally fixed but the results for both sides are
positive naman, so far. As much as I want to share what’s happening, ‘yung mga good news na nangyayari,
I’d rather iwan na lang sa lawyers ang details, out of respect sa kanila, sa GMA at sa kaso mismo.”
At the height of the controversy, did it enter his mind to quit showbiz? “I’ll admit, pumasok ‘yan sa isip ko
and I got worried na baka hindi na ako makabalik, eh sayang din naman ‘yung pinaghirapan ko, kung nasaan
man ako ngayon. But faith helped me go on. Mas nakilala ko ang sarili ko. Yung suporta ng family ko. Now,
I’m glad we got the chance to reconcile with the network. Nagpapasalamat akong kahit ongoing pa rin ‘yung
kaso, binibigyan na nila ako ng trabaho.
Parang walang nangyari. Right now, I’m very excited sa bagong relationship ko sa GMA, sa trabaho ko
and even sa relationship ko sa mga katrabaho ko at sa sarili ko.”
Sarah gustong pakasalan ni Matteo
WIT pala si Shaina Magdayao sa tsismis na nagkakalabuan sina Sarah Geronimo at Matteo Guidicelli, ayon
sa aming source.
Eh, mas madalas pa kasing magkasama sina Shaina at Matteo dahil sa series nila sa Cinema One na
Single/Single kaya may usok na lumalabas sa apoy.
Heto namang si Matteo, agad nagdayalog sa interview niya kay Boy Abunda na si Sarah ang gusto niyang
pakasalan.
Sa statement na ’yon ng boyfriend ni Sarah, siyempre, pamatay rin sa baka nga naman maging sunog na
nagmula sa usok.
Waiting tuloy ang media sa reaksyon ni Sarah sa tsismis kina Matteo at Shaina, pati na sa statement ng
boyfriend na siya ang babaing gustong mapakasalan. So, once and for all, kailangan nang magsalita ng ating
Pop Star.
