TACLOBAN CITY - The Department of Labor and Employment here in the region is looking on the possible liability of the subcontractor in relation to the deaths of 14 workers who were entombed in a landslide accident inside the geothermal complex of the Energy Development Corp.(EDC) in Kananga, Leyte last March 1.
This after they have discovered that many of the workers hired by the JE Arrazada failed to provide the necessary benefits to the workers, including those who were killed, labor regional director Exequiel Sarcauga said. Among the failure of the JE Arrazada was its non-compliance on the granting of SSS (Social Security System) and PhilHealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corp.) benefits to the workers who were hired to work on shelter concreting to protect the steam pipes of House Assistant Minority Leader and Leyte (1st dist) Rep.Ferdinand Martin FM Romualdez (center) turn over a com- the EDC from falling deplete set of high-tech desktop computer to Marasbaras National High School principal Jessica Abril (6th left).Looking on bris from the mountain. are grateful teachers and students.

EDITORIAL
he week preceding an election is usually the most crucial time of the campaign period for all candidates. Its the time when they unleash everything they have in store to get the peoples votes. All efforts are to be exhausted here, poured into the last campaign sorties in hopes of making it to the aspired positions. This midterm elections, its the senatorial bets who get the lions share of attention and interest, owing to the gravity of the position they run for. They determine the kind of Senate there is to be, the future we are to have, the history we are to tread. Much campaign time, money, and efforts then are invested for catapulting them to those lofty positions in the land. In the midst of campaign strategies, gimmicks, and even vote-buying toward the elections eve, there lies a glaring truth that every national candidate is greatly aware of and craving for, and thats the so-called religious votes. These are solid votes from certain religious
groups that have mushroomed throughout the country, which are sometimes more than enough to make a candidate win sans those tiring efforts at campaigning nationwide. Inasmuch as some of these religious votes actually amount to millions, they almost dictate the election results. At the end of the day, then, after much debates and mudslinging among political rivals, these solid votes finally determine who among the candidates are to emerge victorious. Lucky for those who successfully earn those votes, because though they might have started as underdogs, they would ultimately make it. It is no wonder then that candidates for national positions have been scampering for these religious votes that could make them sure winners. We can expect it as usualhe who gets such votes is likely to win. This is what survey leaders should think about. Unless they get for themselves a big religious vote, they are likely to lose. Its anybodys game until one captures such a solid vote.
Fresh grads
Wide grins signal their relief that, at last, they have hurdled those multifarious tasks required of them to finish their studies. Their excitement and victorious revelry overwhelm them to the point of fortunately missing the sad realities that await them after graduation. These unpleasant realities are not much experienced by graduates of elementary and secondary schools whose apprehensions are rather limited to the financial handicap of their parents and guardians. These are mostly faced by fresh college graduates who must soon brave the world of work in preparation for their future that is rid of parental support. old age, even by death. This is the most common of all the sad realities confronting the graduates in our country. Tens of thousands graduate each year only to end up in the dark world of the unemployed. Why, while huge numbers of graduates emerge every year, the number of vacant positions they can grab is very small, creating an alarming imbalance. We produce and produce new graduates that simply go nowhere, the jobs overseas being their only option. Sadly, these are risky jobs, away from home, used as milking cows by numerous
Now that most schools just turned out graduates in various levels, thousands of the latter will again troop to the long lines of job applicants. The excitement will then subside as they perspire to get the much needed job. Its a different worlda real one sans the rituals of music and togas. Beyond the graduation
ceremony lies the monstrous figure of massive unemployment that had been victimizing countless number of graduates in the previous years and decades, leaving them poor and deprived of economic benefits stable jobs can offer. These former graduates remain applicants for years, most of them just overtaken by

Pope Francis
When it comes to friendships, I am always a chief worrier. A very uncomfortable position one person will do. Everyone else can just enjoy. But with friends all around, we need worriers, weeders or nurturers. And thats a main key to personal effectiveness. Relationships are gardens. We are all gardeners and we work for our gardens to grow, bloom and bear fruit. Once in a while, it withers, but come spring or summer, the garden is back to its foliage and verdant green. In other words, for gardens to leave an essence, its tillers must inspire and nurture one another. But how unfortunate was the weekend. Two
bosom friends heartily accepted their fates of being admonished. Given the longevity of the friendship, I acted as convener. As memory keeper, I traced each ones blunder employing sensitivity, compassion and due respect to the other. Bubbly as I am, breaking the silence required creativity and imagination. Always busy, teaching life in the fast lane has gotten . . . faster. When I was able to corral both over fried chicken, beef stew and soda, I asked the questions only both could answerregarding initial hopes, and what has been most gratifying, surprising, and dismaying in what transpired.

Today, Feast of St. Joseph and a Vatican holiday, shall witness another significant milestone in the history of the Roman Catholic Church when Pope Francis is installed in a solemn ceremony and celebrates his installation Mass. It is reported that during the inauguration, Pope Francis (Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, touted as the Pope of many firsts) will receive his papal regalia, including a pallium, which is a wool cloak or a mantle worn over his shoulders, and his gold fishermans ring, to remind that the pontiff is a successor of Saint Peter, who was a fisherman. The event, much awaited by
about 1.2-billion members of the Church is viewed by some critics to fulfill the call on St. Francis of Assisi for him to rebuild the church. Pope Francis election came following the surprising resignation of Pope Benedict XVI primarily for reason of health issue. Along with the naming of a new supreme pontiff is the reverberation of the alleged St. Malachy prophecy that a pope shall soon be elected, who will be the last pope in human history. In web posts, it is stated that St. Malachy, an Irish bishop who lived in the 12th century, disclosed many judgment day prophecies the more famous of which

Along this line, there is an instruction for them to comply with the deficiencies, he added. While Sarcauga was not able to provide ex-
act figures as to how many of the 45 workers do not have the SSS or PhilHealth benefits except to say more than 50 percent of them do not have these benefits. He said that under our labor laws, the moment a company hires workers, they are mandated to provide all the benefits to their workers like SSS and PhilHealth. Sarcauga, however, said that any possible sanction to the JE Arrazada is not within their jurisdiction on what particular action to take. He said that they would just make a recommendation to the SSS or PhilHealth on what appropriate action should be taken against
