The P1 billion fund will focus on providing technical assistance to 4th to 6th class towns
where local resources are not
enough to hire experts to support less competent planning
officers.
Capacity building is twice
or three times more valuable
than putting up hard infrastructure in mitigating the impacts of
climate change. It requires political will especially if it would affect their development agenda,

The assistance will concentrate on local governments harmonization of climate change

Two earthquakes
Hoax it is
At the height of the media blitz on the coming of Pope Francis to the Philippines from
Jan 15-20 next year, news relative to this
much-awaited event unceasingly grab the
headlines, good or not quite so. This is perfectly normal and even appreciated because
the people are becoming more aware of the
details about this rare visit of the Vicar of
Christ. What is devastating is that there are
people whose motive could be just like that
of pranksters, who ride over a hype to sow
deceit, confusion and division.
Very recently, one article popped in the Internet purporting to be an independent news
provider masquerading as depository of
truth but ultimately turned out to be a hoax.
This pertains to the alleged strongly-worded
letter sent by His Holiness Pope Francis who
is the biggest guest of Tacloban City and Palo
town in Leyte province reportedly on January 17. And this hoax has got to do as well
with the sensational move of the municipal
government of Palo in finally transferring the
Typhoon Yolanda victims from their makeshift
bunkhouses in Brgy. Candahug to a distant
Brgy. Tacuranga.
The untruthful news wanted the people to
believe that the Pope, who is exemplifying the
virtues of kindness and amity, being the Vicar
of Christ, was infuriated by the resolve of the
mayor of Palo to remove the displaced vicdeepening of those.
We have to revisit the doctrine on graduality and conversion as articulated in Familiaris consotio and see to
it that it does not degenerate into relativism, which is to
make God according to our designs. Everyone needs continuing conversion, you, me, priests, bishops and even the
Pope. Lets help one another instead of quarreling.
