Kumusta ha iyo ngatanan mga Basaynon ha bug-os nga kalibotan. Birthday yana nga adlaw hit aton mayor ha Basey, Atty. Wilfredo "Didi" Olfato Estorninos. Paki-birthday kamo ha ira balay didi ha aton bungto. May marisyo nga party niyan nga kulop.

An diri makakadi yana nga kulop, siguro maupay maghatag kamo hin endorsement o komentaryo bahin han duha nga dagku nga ginpapangunahan yana ni Didi, ha kaupayan han mga Basaynon: Una, pagpaupay ngan paghuman han Basey-Sohoton national road; ikaduha, paghuman han Basey Irrigation Project nga adto ha Bugasan River kukuhaa an tubig para han kahagnaan ha Basey. Han Abril 18, Biyernes didi ha Pilipinas, kan Didi igprepresentar ini nga duha nga major development needs, ngadto han mga kaapi han Samar Provincial Agrarian Reform Coordinating Committee, ha meting hini ha Cal-apog Beach resort, unhan la hit Guinsorongan ha Catbalogan City.

Ngan maaram ba kamo? Abuyon an aton mayor nga magduha na nga probinsya an Samar. An sangguniang panlungsod han Calbayog City, pinaagi kan konsehal Julius Mancol, nagpasa hin resolution paghimo han Northwestern Samar nga kokomponeran han Calbayog, mga puro han Tagapul-an, Sto.

I will praise the LORD with all my heart in the assembled congregation of the upright. Great are the works of the LORD, to be treasured for all their delights. Majestic and glorious is your work, your wise design endures forever. You won renown for your wondrous deeds; gracious and merciful is the LORD. "The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty Savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in His love, He will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals..."

Greetings from Chicago! Hello CFC-FFL Brothers and Sisters, God is good! All the time!

Thanks for your prayers. Indeed God is good, He answers all prayers. I stayed overnight free, with other JAL passengers at NIKKO Hotel in Narita, Japan a beautiful place. I got home safely in the morning of the 25th of March, to the waiting arms of my loved ones and it is good to be home once again (away for 5 months for the glory of the Lord). In the evening My family took me out for dinner at the Olive Garden an Italian restaurant, here in Chicago.

God bless His people (CFC-FFL)! Regards to all CFC-FFL and all its Family Ministries (CFC-SFL, CFC-YFL, CFC-KFL, HOLD and SOLD): Catbalogan City, Jiabong, Brgy. Jia-an, Brgy. Malobago, Brgy. Catalina, Calbiga and Biliran.

Re: The Warden's Dilemma

Eastern Samar Provincial Warden Alexandrino Apelado was caught with his pants down. Having two successive “inmate busts” is no joke. Somebody interested in his position is pulling the strings. It is common practice in the Philippines to allow “trustees” of jails to temporarily go scot-free because of good behavior or some kind of an internal arrangement between the warden and the inmate. Unbeknownst to many, this privilege is also being abused by the authorities and to some extent the trustees themselves. It is common knowledge that “trustees” are being used as household helps by jail guards. Desperate inmates would accept the arrangement as it would be far better than being locked for hours in the dungeon. Fresh air, after all, is not a common commodity inside the country’s jails.

The explanation of the warden while humanely acceptable is not administratively acceptable. His nickname “Sangko” is appropriate. Sumangko hiya han ginhimo nga basehan han balaod ngan centido common. He is administratively liable for such culpable violations. On the part of the policemen of Borongan, they must have been tailgating Sangko because their successive “arrests” are never heard of in Philippine police history. Or, maybe Sangko is simply stupid flaunting his inmate alalays to the public so everybody will know that he is protected by “accused” criminals.

I do not blame the inmates for sucking up the asses of jail guards and wardens because life behind bars is not life at all but full blame should be on the warden for his brazen disregard of proper protocols. Sangko may become a candidate for beatification for his love and compassion for those whose liberties are curtailed but his person is now subordinate to his office. He should uphold the rules and procedures of running a jail.

An issue on warrantless arrests is now attendant in the case of Sangko and his inmate friends. Can a police officer, without warrant, arrest somebody he suspects as being criminal or an escapee from a jail? Warrantless arrests can be effected even by ordinary citizens when a person is about to commit a crime, is committing a crime, or just committed a crime. Escapees from the penitentiary or jail can be arrested without warrant. Well, the case is complicated as I’ve mentioned above because somebody wants the head of Sangko out of the jail. Powerful interests are in play.

I received this message through an email and I wanted to share this to my countrymen…Why the Philippines is POOR !

Dear friends, here is a good article sent by Dr. Arsenio Martin of Fort Arthur, Texas. We should really reflect on this and ACT!

THE DIFFERENCE

The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country: This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt, that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor. On the other hand, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries, and are rich.

The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources. Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.

Another example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate in the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality! It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order & labor, which made it the world's strongest, safest place.

Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.

Race or skin color are also not important: immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.

What is the difference then? The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture & flawed tradition.

On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:

1. Ethics, as a basic principle.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. Respect to the laws & rules.
5. Respect to the rights of other citizens.
6. Work loving.
7. Strive for savings & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.
10. and of course...Discipline

In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.

The Philippines is poor not because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in natural resources. We are poor because we lack the correct attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies.

If you do not forward this message nothing will happen to you. Your pet will not die, you will not be fired, you will not have bad luck for seven years, and also, you will not get sick or go hungry.

But those may happen because of your lack of discipline & laziness, your love for intrigue and politics, your indifference to saving for the future, your stubborn attitude.

If you love your country, let this message circulate so that many Filipinos could reflect about this, & CHANGE, ACT!

Congratulations to the governor of Samar for being in the news as reported by the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Not that she is being praised for her innovative ways in managing the provincial government, she is being suspended for squandering the limited funds of the province.

Well said Mr. Antonio Morales. I am in full agreement with your feedback particularly with regard to the hidden motives of these politicians. Actually it is not anymore hidden coz' we all know about their greed for power and money which is the bottom line. It is very sad that their minds are always busy trying to create situations to their own advantage and not for the betterment of all Samarenos.

I guess we, the Samarenos, need you to lead and help us avert this move. We need someone like you with so much knowledge and depth in analyzing situations to lead us in bringing this matter - its merits and demerits, to the attention of the Province of Samar Officials.

We need your help before things get too late and the evil imaginations of these self-serving politicians come to fruition. We are counting on you Mr. Morales. God be with us.

The possible spin-off of the first district of Samar to become separate and distinct province of Northwestern Samar proposed by many political leaders in the first district is largely inimical to the interest of the entire province of Samar.

While the narration of their reasons are somewhat believable, they try their best to hide the very evil reason of their contentions. They want a piece of the meat so graduating politicians can have some office to suck dry after the lapse of their mandated terms.

First district congressman Ining Uy is ending his third and final term in congress and he surely could not win a province-wide election. Calbayog City Mayor Sarmiento who is likewise barred to seek another term could run for congressman but a family successor in the Uy political household may decide to run to keep the "cash-rich" office under their control. Like torrens title, public office is passed on as an inheritance within the family. So, to abort a possible costly collision of titans, they will try to create more offices so politicians could have a better leverage upon which to jockey political positions.

The real issue should be whether a divided Samar will bring more progress to the Samarenyos. The answer is no. It will not uplift the sorry state of Samarenyos' life. It will only enrich those in power. The great provinces of the Philippines: Cebu, Negros Occidental, Pangasinan, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, and Laguna are super provinces. They have 4 to 7 congressional districts yet they remain solid because there is an advantage in being big in a field of dwarfs. Samar's further division will not improve the lives of its constituents but merely create miniature provinces that are nobodies. In the Visayan region, the strength of super provinces are felt tremendously due in fact by their economic and political clout. Cebu is the richest province in the nation, Negros Occidental is leading in region 6 even defeating in performance the provinces in Panay island.

Re the article "Samar's 1st District Officials Push for the Creation of a Separate Province," I find it very hard to believe that Calbayog officials are only wanting this now for the "promise of fiscal and political autonomy." It seems that this is being done more to satisfy these officials' narcissistic political needs and raw ambitions.

Please don't balkanize Samar Province any more. Samar's Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Congresswoman Sharee Ann Tan, Governor Milagrosa Tan, Vice Governor Jesus Redaja, Samar's city and municipal mayors and all Samareños should strongly oppose this ludicrous plan of creating "Nortwestern Samar."

A while ago I posted a message about bribery. It rained money, lots of money in Samar. Now, is the time to rain money from those vote buying politicians if they have decency at all and love Samar.

LET IT RAIN MONEY LIKE IT RAINED LAST ELECTION. YOUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE VERY RICH...
