Another salvage victim found
MERIDA, LEYTE For the second time in the span of barely three months, another victim of what is believed to be a salvaging was found at Brgy. Can-unzo here on August 8. The new victim is one Kenneth Penida y Orias, 18, a resident of Punta in Ormoc City. He was identified by his father Conrado. When found, the victim was totally naked. He bore signs of torture and had a mark on his neck indicating he was choked to death, aside from gunshot wounds. He also had cigarette burn marks on the base of his left fingers believed to be the mark of a True Brown Style gang member. A witness, one Romeo Banos said he was around 50 meters away when two motorcycles stopped and its passengers went off. A short while after, shots rang out and by dawn, they found the victims body. It can be recalled that last July 9, a salvaging victim was also found thrown at an isolated portion of the highway at Brgy. Libas here. He was identified as Edward Zapanta, a resident of Albuera, Leyte and had cases of theft but was out on bail when he was killed. Last week, a salvaging victim was also found at Brgy. Valencia in Ormoc City, his death similar to that of Zapanta who suffered gunshot wounds. By Paul Libres

Commuters going to and from Calubian, Leyte using the Visares route got stuck for more than two hours after a backhoe fell into a hole it was digging. Except for motorcycles, four-wheeled vehicles could not pass because the engineer in-charge would not listen to appeals for them to make a temporary detour at the area where the motorcycle is manuevering. There was enough SAG on side and a grader to do it.

She recounted an incident when they chanced on three traffic enforcers just talking on the side and only moved to manage the traffic when they saw her and the Mayors daughter. Moreover, she has ordered the transfer of the PNP office at the market area to the terminal because if they have an office there, lesser criminality would have to be encountered or will occur, mababantayan ang mga roads natin there and most importantly, madidisplina ang mga police although disiplinado naman po sila. She also clarified that there is no problem with the budget for the transfer of PNP office.

Anti-greed campaign
YES, WHY not? Why not launch an antigreed campaign and keep it going like some lifelong maintenance mechanism in a world that has become rickety with all sorts of moral sicknesses, with greed among the prominent ones? We just have to look around, and see greed and avarice and their many faces proliferating like anything, from the individual level to the farthest global ends. Many people are trapped in an almost invincible grip of selfishness, pursuing nothing other than their own self-interest and throwing any consideration for the common good to the wind. This is not to mention that many have forgotten to relate their earthly business to God, to consider it as a prayer and even an act of worship that is not only pleasing to God but also most beneficial to everybody else. We have been reminded in the gospel about this aspect of our life. Take care to guard against all greed, Christ said, for though one may be rich, ones life does not consist of possession. (Lk 12,14) We have been warned against storing up treasure for oneself but not being rich in what matters to God. Nowadays, many, in fact, do not even know the idea of common good. And if there is anything they do that would contribute one way or another to the common good, its by sheer coincidence that it happens. Any deliberate effort to do things for the common good is practically absent, if not openly avoided. The world is drowning in a sea of materialism and consumerism, with the spiritual values and the supernatural destination of human life all but forgotten. Its still working under an increasing infusion of deceptive economic tricks, but the illusion is also getting so increasingly untenable that things now are approaching breaking point. It seems that we are being set up higher and higher in our materialistic and consumeristic ways for a deeper and more painful crash sooner or later. The signs are already there, and many of our leaders in politics, business, media and even in the church are hesitant to give the bad news. The predicament is practically left unattended. Productivity is dropping, even in an accelerated rate in some places, mainly because without the support of the spiritual and supernatural elements of our life, people have no way but to tend to become lazy, and simply wanting to be comfortable, rich and continually entertained, and with narrow and shallow understanding of things. In the corridors of power and influence, graft and corruption have practically become the SOP. Just read the papers, and thats just the tip of the iceberg. The banking and financial sector continues to blow bubbles in the hope of stimulating productive economic activity. But they now seem to pop out soon after being launched. We need to go back to God and seriously relate our earthly business affairs to him and to his plan and providence. We have to reassure ourselves that this is the proper way to do business, taking us away from the tendency to

? Cemetery - Public
EV MAIL Publisher Lalaine Jimenea had an eye opener July 8-14 this year. She said most adequately that the state of the cemetery is a health issue. In all societies we humans, already as babies sucking in the first moments after delivery, are aware of life. Later we get aware of death. We can never deny that awareness, which brings us reluctantly or not to respect Life and death. Burials have been performed from earliest human eras and cultures. Small or vast cemeteries have been and are public. Many philosophers have commanded simplicity even before Christianity. So did e.g. epigrammatic Krinagoras in the 100th year B.C.: Do not estimate the dead by the tombstone. History witnesses to pompous mausolea and expensive tombstones and make us think more of gold than person. Life and death are involved in mysteries, the innermost elements, which Remain mystic. We may wonder if Jesus, Matthew 8:22, included cats, dogs, swallows and other pets in His command. His command: let the dead bury the dead. Gregorius of Nazians, dead ca 390, was a Christian priest and theologian, who directed commands against extravagancies in festivals meant to honor saints. The festivals had often degenerated into festivities with no or little spiritual content. Also non-Christian thinkers at times commanded simplicity of burials. Papyri from Africa/Asia and Europe mention that Christian and not Christian children, who had died at low age, were bestowed expensive funerals and graves. In the last 200 years, many papyri are found to cover more than 3000 years. Some inform us of rites of burials. How abovementioned priest Gregorius and his children (yes, he was married) got in touch with papyri, I do not know. WHY he was studying them, gets clear to us from some of his comments and conclusions. From what I have said so far it will be clear that I do underline what Publisher Lalaine proclaims: Dead or alive, people need to be

3-D Printing
WHEN I WAS a student back a zillion years ago, I would painstakingly copy pages and pages of notes for my research. A copying machine that came later was then heaven sent and considered to be a marvelous invention. But now theres a completely different printer. The three-dimensional printing (3-D printing) is becoming the latest technological marvel in manufacturing. People have traditionally made things in one of two ways. They start with a solid block or sheet of metal, wood or other material and cut, stamp, drill or shave it to create a desired shape. Or they use a mold made of metal or sand, pour liquefied plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a metal casting or molded plastic part. With 3-D printing and other forms of what is known as additive manufacturing, no shaving and molds are used. They build an object using a machine, generally the size of a microwave oven, by piling thin layers of material (wood, plastics or metals) on top of each other, then heating or binding them until a three-dimensional shape emerges. Once a science-fiction fantasy, 3-D printers are showing up everywhere from military research centers to the desks of home hobbyists (Sheldon and Leonard of The Big Bang Theory own one). Users are able to make just about anything they like: iPod stands, guitars, earrings, pendants, toys, chocolate molds, even guns. On ground, sea or air, when parts break, new ones can be made on the spot, and even the tools to install them can be made, eliminating the need for staging parts in warehouses around the world. Airplane mechanics could print a replace

ment part on the runway. A dishwasher repairman could make a new gasket in his service truck. A surgeon could print a knee implant custom-designed to fit a patients body. But the military is likely to be among the first major users of 3-D printers. In the past two years, the U.S. Defense Department has spent more than $2 million on 3-D printers, supplies and upkeep, according to federal contract records. Their uses range from medical research to weapons development and building weapons parts. While the U.S. is pursuing the military advantages of 3-D printing, its also dealing with the potential dangers of the technology. The State Department ordered a group to take down online blueprints for a 3-D printable handgun, and federal lawmakers and some state legislatures are contemplating proposals to restrict posting weapons plans in the future. The world-wide market for 3-D printing, which includes materials, machines and service, totaled $2.2 billion in 2012, based on industry estimates. But the process has some limitations. For high-volume jobs, 3-D printing cant yet match the speed and efficiency of traditional fabrication methods and machinery. 3-D printing is changing the manufacturing system in its entirety how and where products are made and by whom. In 25 years, entire industries are going to disappear. Countries like the Philippines and China relying on mass manufacturing are going to find themselves with no revenues and no jobs unless they make adjustments now.

charity should be the be-all and end-all of our economic affairs. We just cannot stop at the level of profitability or practicality, making them the supreme goal of our businesses. Without discarding them, we need to go beyond them and aim at what really is the goal for usGod and charity, which is the very essence of God and also the essence meant for us precisely because we are Gods image and likeness, and Gods children. Doing business with God as the origin, way and end in no way harms our economic activities. On the contrary, it will broaden our perspective, sharpen our creativity, foster our
be swallowed up by the logic of the flesh and the world that cannot help but lead us to greed and its ilk. God and economics are not two mutually exclusive realities. Gods eternal law includes the economic laws proper to us as image and likeness of his, and children of his. At the moment, we seem to do economics by practically ignoring God, or even openly opposing his laws. The supreme law of charity is often considered as impractical and impracticable. In short, that it is inhuman, anti-business and all that. We need to change that mindset. God and
productivity, and increase our capacity to tackle whatever challenges, burden or trials we may meet along the way. Doing business with God in mind and heart melts away the fears and doubts that often lead us to be greedy and to pursue only our selfinterests at the expense of the common good.

Since an average Filipino eats banana almost everyday, here are some of the benefits of our well love fruit which I read at dietmotion.com. Source of energy For example, a banana provides the energy for a fitness session of one hour. It contains important quantities of Vitamin A, iron, phosphorus, natural sugars and also potassium that assure a good level of energy in your body. What better snack could you think of? Reduces blood pressure Because of the high amounts of potassium, bananas will boost up your circulatory system, will regulate blood pressure and will also keep the health of your heart. Many benefits from a piece of fruit, right? Natural remedy for constipation Instead of taking medicines, protect the health of your digestive system with the help of banana. You can avoid constipation and other similar problems. Mood booster It has Tryptophan, a substance which researchers said will make you feel more relaxed and even happier. So, as you can see, banana improves also your mental health. Speeds up neurological processes Recent studies have showed that if you consume a banana three times per day as a complement to daily meals, you will boost your brain activities. Apparently, the potassium is responsible for an increase of the brain power. The list could go on. It is no surprise that many people refer to it as the super food. Rich in nutrients and loaded with good compounds, the banana is your devoted friend. Put one or two in the blender then add a cup of plain yogurt and maybe a teaspoon of honey.yummy and healthy!

A peer counselor is an invaluable partner for mothers in their journey through parenthood, helping them gain confidence in their ability to breastfeed. Peer Counselors can be anyone from the community who is trained to learn to support mothers. Continued support to sustain breastfeeding can be provided in a variety of ways, she said. There are the five Circles of Support identified by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) that contribute to a mothers posi-
tive breastfeeding experience. The first circle is the Family and Social Network, the second is Healthcare Systems, third is Workplace and Employment because support from the workplace is vital and necessary for employed women as they transition back into work. The fourth circle is Government and Legislation and fifth is Response to Crisis or Emergency which involves special planning in order to properly care for the breastfeeding mother and her baby such as in times of natural disasters, family problems such as separation of husband and wife, or critical illness of the mother or child.

quence of this redemption. Who can ever question Gods decision? If there were several young virgins in a particular village gathered for an event, only one can be chosen. This is where Mama Mary was chosen just like with the prophets when some of them were chosen even when inside the womb of the mother. If God can do this, how much more for the one to be the Mother of Jesus? Because of this choice, the parents of Mama Mary became Saints. How did Elizabeth, the cousin of Mama Mary address her when she visited Elizabeth who was now six months pregnant at the old age of about 80? It was in this particular visit that Mama Mary worded that famous Magnificat. You should hear the sung version of this Magnificat. Beautiful! This corner can distinctly remember the lyrics which is continued to be sung in churches, Since the discovery of the written and the spoken word, how many millions upon millions of books haven been circulated throughout this vast universe of ours. And, whats more, there can be no end in sight. As long as man continues to use his coconut, the generation of the future can be expected to benefit in the endless search for man to use his brain. They are now toying to control age by the use of stem cells. What a world of a difference from the man that was of the cave age to the present man who has a complete control of the vastness of his knowledge and making full use of the universe. With this insatiable thirst, this corner can only surmise and wonder the prototype man of the future. Can we have the modern version of the Tower of Babel that was done in the biblical past? the said book. Those who do not will be sent to the concentration camps or to see the Gestapo to explain why not. Robert Ludlum, a writer of the cloak-and-dagger type fiction, must have written so many books and all of them were instant hits. And to even think those women authors are just as good as any man writer. Todays best authors have the use of gadgets that make it easier. These gadgets make it more practical because of the savings on scratch paper. The computers or iPods or iPads have made writing less cumbersome. During the time of Ernest Hemingway, he must have thrown away reams of paper each time he would rewrite his articles. With the flick of the keyboard, you can always insert a word or a whole paragraph without deviating from the trend of thought. We have to admit that the best-selling book of all time is the Bible. And you do not have to be a Catholic to have it. All other denominations have it and some are even proud to show it off. Even if the Bible is written by so many, it still has only one single author: God. It was then the practice to provide a way to lock the book so that not all can read the bible. They changed it all by allowing freer access; after all, the bible is meant to reach out to all individuals. This corner has several bibles and several versions and languages. You should get hold of a Spanish version. It makes the words sound flowery. There are bibles without mention of Mama Mary. Why is it that some people resent the Motherhood of Mary? Can it be that they are jealous that God the Father made it that way? During the time of Mama Mary, it was already foretold that there wilkl be a woman that will save Man from perdition. The choice therefore of the Virgin Mary is the conse-

Symptoms may include fever, rashes, headache, anxiety, irritability, muscle pain and nausea. Nonetheless, Mayor Romualdez said, there is no cause for the public to panic as the transmission of Meningoccemia is not the same as AH1N1. As such, there was no need to use gas masks while going on about their daily business. The mayor said that to prevent Meningococcemia infection, that the populace practice a few healthy tips: Proper handwashing, covering the mouth when sneezing or coughing, eating a balanced diet, seeking early consultation when one feels feverish and exhibit other symptoms; limit alcohol intake and avoid smoking and crowded places. The local health board said that regional health authorities reported that as of August 8, 2013, there are only 12 cases of Meningococcemia in Eastern Visayas and only but only one in Tacloban City.

Ormoc Fiscal dismisses complaints versus Dumaguit couple, cohort for sloppy CIDG raid
ORMOC CITY Prosecutor Marcelo Oate dismissed the complaints filed by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) against District 4 barangay chairwoman Jocela Jojie Dumaguit, her husband Mario and one Kelvin Juntilla for a sloppy raid. To recall, the CIDG raided two houses of the Dumaguits at the notorious Mabini Street here, known for its shabu trade, on August 3, a Saturday. Armed with a search warrant from Tacloban Executive Judge Alphinor Serrano, the raid started at around 2:00 early in the morning and ended up at around 2:00 PM. All through out the raid, the CIDG team, which was split into two to cover both houses, were elusive to media. Those who witnessed the raid were barangay councilwoman Rosalina Omega and two barangay tanods. When they announced the raid, one Kelvin Juntilla reportedly ran away and was chased by two members of the team. While running away, he threw some things out of his pocket. It was a gun, 8 bullets and one sachet of shabu, the raiding team alleged. All three suspects were subsequently brought to Tacloban City for processing. Armada said they are bringing them to Tacloban where their head office is, because the Ormoc office is just a satellite office. Four cases were subsequently filed against the three. Juntilla was charged for two counts, one for illegal possession of firearm and the second, for possession of illegal drugs. Barangay Chairwoman Jocela Jojie Dumaguit, on the other hand, was charged for illegal gambling. Some Swertres paraphernalia were allegedly confiscated from her room. Lastly, Mario Dumaguit was charged for illegal possession of firearms, after the CIDG found two Black Widow Cal. 22 Magnum and an snub nose Cal. 38 in his room. In dismissing the complaints against the three, Fiscal Oate noted that in Juntillas case, there was no representative from media and the Department of Justice who witnessed the raid. While the search warrants were for guns admittedly, the possibility of finding drugs incidental to the conduct of the search made it imperative for the presence of media and DOJ. Second, Oate said that the two officers who issued an affidavit against Juntilla could not even synchronize their stories. One police officer said that Juntilla ran through a side door after they announced the raid while the other could not state which door he passed through. There was also no witness to corroborate that the gun, the bullets and one sachet of shabu really came from Juntilla. The fiscal also made the observation that there was an attempt to plant evidence on the suspects. The inventory, he noted, showed one tea bag of suspected dried marijuana leaves. While it was erased with the use of a liquid eraser, it was still legible, giving him doubts. He also noted that the place indicated in the search warrant was Brgy. Mabini which is a barrio some 15 kilometers away. Granted that it was a typographical error, Oate was obviously not impressed by the way CIDG prepped their cases. In the complaint for illegal gambling versus barangay chairwoman Jocela Dumaguit, Fiscal Oate noted that the bets were dated June yet. Furthermore, he said, the barangay official was not caught in the act of betting or indulging in the illegal numbers game. As for the possession of firearms versus Mario Dumaguit, Fiscal Oate said that the search warrant for guns was specific. It was claimed that it was inside a vault but the CIDG themselves claimed finding it in another area. Oate said the alleged evidences against the Dumaguits and Juntilla were fruits of a poisoned tree, hence he was dismissing the complaints. By Lalaine M. Jimena

Printed in toto is a letter by PNP regional director Elmer Ragadio Soria to a Tacloban Star publisher denying that Sa Pula, Sa Puti illegal gambling games disguised as parlor games existed at the Ormoc City Plaza for the duration of the fiesta until July 15. In response, Mr. Abrematea has requested that pictures he took while in Ormoc City be published, wryly noting that the city police station 1 was just nearby. Here are some of them......
I was in Manila to apply for a visa. I had to wake up early and line up to be called first. I was lucky enough to be included in the magic 20 for the day. Only 20 visa applications were entertained that day and another 20 for citizenship and OFW concerns. Inside, we had to wait for about an hour before the first call was made. We meekly followed the guards instructions to sit on designated chairs. Mine was on the end by the wall and I drifted off to a light sleep. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Waking up, I saw all the seats were full already and a staff was going about some brown envelops. Most of those in the room were seniors. I kidded the one beside me, Naku ang bait-bait natin ano, behave masyado. Kung andun pa siguro tayo sa Philippine Embassy baka minura na natin yong mga staff for making us wait this long. My comment generated laughter from three seniors beside me. One nodded in agreement, saying talagang napaka-behave nating lahat sa ibang bansa! All of them were veteran globe-trotters, I soon found out. We laughed at how respectful we are at the yellow line in other places, but seems to disregard it here. The yellow line is where one stops while an immigration officer processes the person before you in the line. In fairness to us, the last time I was at our international airport, there was no yellow line. It was already faded and a dirty white. So we can always say, what yellow line do you mean?
