NAGA CITY In a unanimous vote, officers of the League of Vice Governors of the Philippines Bicol Chapter, declared former Senator Juan Miguel F. Zubiri as adopted son of Bicol Region, specifically citing his steadfast support to the region and for not forgetting his ancestral roots being the son of Victoria Calleja- Zubiri, a native of Libon, Albay.
Zubiri, who was in Camarines Sur on Tuesday, (April 3), greatly appreciated the gesture and vowed to pursue his unrelenting effort in alleviating the conditions of the poor communities in the region. During his incumbency as Senator, Zubiri put in place viable and economic projects in partnership with the local government units through his Isang Bayan, Isang Proyekto ni Migz Zubiri. These projects have helped the municipal constituents to engage in productive endeavors and lifted them from the mire of poverty. Some of the towns that benefited from the Priority Development Assistance Fund or PDAF of the former Senator includes Lagonoy, San Jose, Goa, Pili, Magarao, Buhi, Baao and Nabua- all in Camarines Sur. During his two-day provincial tour, Zubiri checked on the repair and rehabilitation works of six (6) school buildings located in Lagonoy to ensure that the students will have a decent classroom once they get back to school
after the long vacation. After which, the Bukidnon lawmaker trekked to the adjoining municipality of San Jose where he spearheaded the inauguration of a newly- built school building there. San Jose Mayor Tony Chavez warmly welcomed Zubiris team in Pugay Elementary School. If his first two visited sites were for the students his next stop was for the senior citizens who eagerly waited for Zubiri to inaugurate their newly constructed senior citizens building. The former lawmaker also believes that young at hearts still need to relax thats why he helped build a place where the oldies can still have

(Atty. APA chairman of Acyatan & Co., CPAs-DFK International - PICPA past president/Hall-of-Famer, ACPAPP Lifetime Achievement Awardee, and past chair of ASEAN Federation of CPA writes this syndicated column for selected CALABARZON & Bikol newsweeklies). RECOLLECTION: Aside from the many family and class reunions attended by everyone, there are also the traditional PABASAs. Some of us mostly devout Catholics also found time to join Recollections and Retreats as our way of re-assessing our lives. The key question to ask is whether we are spending our life in the right direction, and if we are happy with what we have done so far. What then is our proper measuring stick to know if we are truly happy? For the mundane the usual bases are our human measurements money, power, popularity and self-satisfaction. Beyond all those and better yet, above all those is the sincere feeling that we are nearing our aspiration to be with our God when He calls us. When we stand up for providential evaluation, the real question is not what we have achieved for ourselves, but what we have done for others, especially for the least of our brethren. MODERNITY: We shudder to think of what our world has become with the advancement in technology and the discovery by man of temporary sources of relief and happiness (particularly drugs). There are many young criminals who commit offenses almost with impunity, aware as they are that our laws exempt them from punishment. The Juvenile Offenders Law must be scrapped now, or

at least the exempted age bracket should be lowered to say, twelve years old! Moral values of our youth must be strengthened preferably by way of religious institutions of learning. We must not follow the US example where teaching of religion in public schools has been banned. The crazy Americans even want to remove from the US Dollar bill the words In God We Trust. Satan and his evil minions have apparently gain footholds in the minds of our young and even in those of their overly tolerant parents (perhaps too busy making money). ACCEPTABILITY: In all surveys, Vice President Jejomar Binay always outranks P-Noy. The president should reshuffle his cabinet especially those in charge of public information. Binays info-men regularly send me (by text) the latest activities and accomplishments of the vice president. There appears to be a sustained popularity campaign for Binay who has openly declared that he is running for president in 2016. The PDP Laban has already started nominating senatoriables including PNRC Chairman Dick Gordon. VP Binay is stacking perceived winning cards early through his partys preparations for the mid-term elections. There are rumors that he will include in his senatorial list the Bicolano Chiz Escudero, possibly as a stepping stone for the latters vicepresidential quest. Chiz co-authored the successful Noy-Bi tandem in the last presidential elections. SURVEYS: Modern methods of research feature impromptu surveys more so those relating to common preferences of respondents. Latest results include - the reduced net popularity ratings of P-Noy, the guilt of the impeached Chief Justice, and the exercise of presidential emergency powers in order to solve our energy problem (electricity and cost of fuel). Its nice to get the public pulse but the survey organizers must insure that the questions are clear, and reply-friendly. It is about time that our Legislature comes up with precise rules to regulate the conduct of surveys, more so on political issues. The survey results which were released on a date that was very close to last presidential elections sort of served as beacon light for those still undecided then. It is not unusual for people to go for likely winners. Positive survey results usually foretell realization for the reason that everybody wants to be on the winning side. Most people will go with the favorites! WISDOM: Gods standards are not given to spoil our fun but to protect us from the follies of life.
Life to Life
For sure, this is just an ordinary everyday scene. Once a week, while I was doing volunteer duty at a nearby public hospital to cover in behalf of the assigned chaplain, who is having a day-off, and while I was standing by the chaplaincy office door, I was struck by what I saw whereby while a gravely sick person on a gurney was being wheeled towards the operating room, his wife, walking by the side with a very concern and worried look on his face, was holding firmly one of his foot trying to give his husband the encouragement that he badly needed. By the looks of the wife, she was clearly on edge to what her husband is about to undergo. She was all alone. I did not see anyone besides her like a child, loved one or a friend, perhaps. However, she was being strong in order to communicate the hope of a new life to her husband after the operation. The couple was clearly a Catholic. As the wife, while seated just outside the operating room, continually and silently was praying the rosary. In faith, I am sure her husband will be able to successfully go over the darkness of his illnesses, the operation, perhaps, the painful recovery period towards a new life of health. We love ourselves. In case, we get sick, we do our best to fight and bring back our usual strength and health. We all agree that health is a great wealth. On the other hand, for those who are sickly, we all knew how is it to be in bed weak and sick. It is, as if, being mercilessly thrown out at the other side of the fence. In this kind of situation, seeing how others are in their pink of health, there are some who even undergo extreme form of self pity. How come I am this way while they are so happy and strong? It is, as if, death is just nearby . As mortal humans, we have to accept a thousand and one limitations in our lives. Things such as many of our lingering illnesses, death... are all outside our control. Humankind, eversince, have been but were not able to crack its mysteries. It is just something outside and over the top for us. What we can manageably do is to ask the help of someone who is equal to it and he is no other than the LIFE itself, God. He is the creator of everything and it is he, alone, who can be able to successfully confront them. Whereas, we need to break all of our piggy banks to help find the cure to all of our medical conditions, we merely need faith to have the fulness of life in God. Be holy, as your heavenly Father is holy. Matthew 5:48 It is extremely advantageous to be a person of faith. For to be one is to be a lover of virtues. A person of faith is prudent, just, temperate, courageous. More so, he is rich in faith, hope and love. In short, he is a healthconcious person who continually take good care of the temple of the Holy Spirit. Just as our spiritual directors often advice that to maintain our state of grace, we have to avoid the places and occasions of sin. And so, in the same way, with regards to our health, to keep it for a lifetime, we have to avoid vices like excessive drinking, smoking, stress, eating.... Most of all, always maintain God nearby our side. This is our guaranteed total LIFE to LIFE experience.
Theres Money for Plebiscite & Budget Sec. Abads letter to Comelec Chairman Brillantes
There is money for the plebiscite, Cong. Arnulfo P. Fuentebella informed the House Committee on Local Government hearing House Bill No. 4820 that propose the creation of the province, Nueva Camarines. He said COMELEC chair Sixto Brillantes and budget officials had made the assurances during budget deliberations on the 2012 Appropriations act in the House of Representatives. He said Brillantes pointed to the P2 billion in savings from the postponement of the elections in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as a possible source of fund which could amount to P50 million, while DBM officials cited the savings of all government agencies for 2011 as another source. So, it was agreed upon that there was no need to insert a budget for the plebiscite because we were assured that it could be taken from savings, Fuentebella said when the issue of none availability of fund for the plebiscite was raised. There will be one of two more hearings of the House Committee on Local Government before it will be voted upon in the Senate Plenary session. Then, it will be submitted to the President for

his signature. As Senator Joker Arroyo said, the problem on funding depends on Malacaang. If P-Noy signs it, he will release fund for it. We believe that because of the effort of P-Noy to institute electoral reforms, he will allow the people to decide in the plebiscite. Congressman Luis R. Villafuerte offered their pork barrel as a source of fund for the plebiscite. This is noteworthy because the oppositor is his son, Gov. L-Ray Villafuerte. The camp against the creation of Nueva Camarines keeps saying they are strong and that the people are against
it. If so, why are they blocking or preventing the holding of a plebiscite where the people can express their true will and sentiment? Isnt that illogical? They keep on raising many issues that tend to do this. We should allow the people to decide on what they want in the plebiscite. That would be real democracy. ***** Hereunder is the letter of Budget Sec. Florencio Abad to COMELEC Chairman Sixto S. Brillantes dated March 27, 2012 which urge the Chairman to prioritize the re-registration for ARMM voters, the plebiscite in Camarines Sur and the recall elections in such places as Samar and Danao City in the use of COMELEC savings.

A QuESTION Of PrIVILEgE

Pilate was pictured by some Bible scholars as a man more interested in justice. But an Alexandrian Jewish writer, Pilo, said Pilate was a merciless man. Pilo was a contemporary of Jesus. From the time Jesus was taken into custody to his crucifixion at Mt. Golgotha, the trial could be labeled as a kangaroo court proceedings. He was denied all his
rights as an accused. The trial was speedy but not impartial. At the start of the hearing, he was presumed guilty. He was not informed of the accusations against him nor assisted by counsel nor allowed to confront the witnesses against him. The high priests where Jesus was taken conducted a mock trial. Interested only in destroying him, they sentenced him to death. But since only Pilate as Roman governor had the sole power to enforce the death verdict, they took him there. The whole trial lasted for only a few hours from the time Jesus stood before the high priests, before Pilate, before Herod Antipas and before Pilate again. The hours immediately before the crucifixion were the worst. Repeatedly flogged by soldiers with iron chains and forced to carry a heavy cross up to

a Question of . . .
Golgotha, Jesus, however, endured them in silence. At Golgotha, Jesus was nailed on the cross and hoisted up. For six hours, from 9 am to 3 pm, he stayed there between two convicted thieves. The soldiers placed a sign above his head which read: Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. That was the official charge, written in three languages, according to the Gospel. Why did Pilate and his Jewish collaborators put Jesus to death? The answer was in their belief that Jesus as a religious political rebel was bent on destroying the Roman Empire and changing the social structure in Jerusalem. The social change in Jerusalem would mean to the Jewish high priests the loss of their privileges and sources of income. The Jews, not Pilate, were blamed for the death of Jesus, according to some scholars. The Jews were called deicide, a term which means people who killed God. The belief had given Christians the motives to kill Jews. One result of this belief was Hitler Nazi Holocaust, the extermination of millions of Jews in Europe. None of the four evangelists wrote a detailed chronicle about Jesus death. Their real interest was in the theological significance to Christians and how the death occurred. The four evangelists were Mark, Mathew, John and Luke. Their accounts were the only ancient sources of who killed Jesus. All of them said Jesus was arrested, tried and sentenced to death by crucifixion. Crucifixion was a Roman punishment for slaves and rebels around the first century AD. The usual Jewish mode was death by stoning. Christians believed that Jesus death was a knowing and willing sacrifice, meaning he probably knew he would die by the most horrible way. His death was foretold in the Jewish Bible.

Message for lent 2012 . . .
Jesus (Porta Fidei, 2). The Year of Faith calls Catholics for the profession of faith, especially public profession of faith (PF, 8). Our theme allows us to remember that the most basic expression and manifesta tion of the faith is the Sign of the Cross. It expresses our Faith in the Trinity: The Father, Son and Spirit. The Sign of the Cross is elaborated by the Credo. Thus, bearing the Cross on our fore heads on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, praying the Via Crucis, etc., are public professions of our Faith. The Year of Faith also calls for interiorization of our life of faith (Pagsaboot kan satong buhay sa pagtubod) our practices and customs as Catholics. This is our response to the Holy Fathers call to New Evangelization (PF, 7,4). We do not simply know, but we live our faith with conviction, especially in these challenging times, when the role and importance of faith is eclipsed by many factors. The Way of the Cross is one concrete, prominent practice in this season of Lent. For us Catholics, the Way of the Cross, the Way of Jesus, is also our way (Dalan sa sakong pagmidbid sa Dios). This signifies that knowing God and Jesus is a process, a journey, a lifetime journey (PF, 1-2). The Lenten observance is a call to set the journey out of the desert towards the place of life, towards friendship with the Son of God, towards the One who gives us life, and life in abundance (PF, 2). Thus, the season of Lent, like any journey, is a period of preparation like training for a battle, for the struggles in daily life. And just as training demands sacrifice, so does this season calls us to fast, to abstain, to give alms, all these in the spirit of penance (CCC, 1438). We enter into the mystery of Christs suffering, passion and death. And just as Jesus was raised to life by the Father (Rom. 6:4), we may also arrive at our destination the triumph of Jesus Resurrection. Lent is a time for us to under stand our Faith in the light of the Paschal Mystery. With these, I enjoin everyone to encounter Jesus in this season rich with Catholic liturgical and devotional practices. To all the Clergy, the sisters, catechists and all those who ac tively work in the field of evangelization: it would be profitable to explain the nature, the importance and the reason of the different Catholic practices and customs during this season: e.g., pagpangurus, pag-estasyon, pag-prusisyon, visita iglesia, penitencia, paglimos, pag-ayuno asin abstinencia, acts of mortification, Lenten recollections and retreats, the practice of spiritual and corporal works of mercy, acts of charity, and the preparation of the catechumens for baptism on Easter. In explaining these, let us be guided by the Teachings of Vatican II and the Catholic Catechism of the Church as we celebrate the 50th year of the opening of Second Vatican Ecumenical Council and the 20th year of the publication of Catechism of the Catholic Church.
