Re the article "Print Edition of Samar News.com is Born" (March 4, 2010) – Congratulations to the publishers, Engr. Ray Gaspay and Ms. Imelda Bonifacio for this worthwhile endeavor. I'm pleased to know that Samareños who have no access to the internet can now avail of the news on print edition in their own Waray dialect. I sure hope Samar News.com tackles significant issues affecting not only Catbalogan City but Samar province in general. I also pray the truth gets published even if at times it hurts. Thank you and keep up the good work. Bravo!

Halu. Happy Valentines to all of us all over the World Wide Web.

Pangamuyo unta.

Adton may kaya nga makatambulig kan Ray para gastos pagmaintain ngan bayad han hosting hini nga website, bulig gad kamo. I have been in America for a long time now, and before that I was in Diliman where I studied, worked, and taught, it is only now that we can have direct news about Samar. Hadto anay, we in Manila, and bisan an nakada na mismo ha Samar, depende ha Manila-based radios and periodicals ang notisya hi-unong han Samar. Actually, kulang pa ngani. Kay tungod nga waray kapas, diri kita maaram hiton nahitatabo han iba nga parte hit isla. Waray naggagather hit news, waray nagsusurat in tawon kay mga busy man hira dida hin panginabuhi. Survival anay.

Kami ha Gugma Han Samar Cyberspace Movement, natambulig gad. Pero agidaw, makaluluoy kay makuri na liwat amon kinabuhi didi ha America tungod hini nga Global Economic Meltdown. Sanglit bisan $50 unta nga regular kan Ray ngan iya grupo, makuri gud.

Pero kon mga $5, %10, $20 kun asya la iton aton kaya, if they are all combined together, makakabulig na kanda Ray ngan hiton iya grupo dida ha Catbalogan, ha Samar, ha Pilipinas.

Iton mahilig hin mga piesta, didi ha America, ayaw pagdako-an iton iyo gala han mga kuracha. Pagbilin hin guti-ay para kanda Ray. Ngan kon mga birthday nga damo iton irignom ngan mga pagkaon nga damo an tambok, minosi niyo. Reserve a portion of of your planned expenses to help Ray.

Salamat.

THE REAL VALENTINE "This is how we know what LOVE IS: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers" (1 John 3:16). "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).

He is the supreme Valentine of all time. The Lord Jesus Christ who because of His love for mankind "did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross! (Philippians 2:6-8).

Happy Valentine’s Day EVERYONE!

Dear Samar News and Readers:

I have read the latest poll survey dated 5 February 2010. I wish to thank you for providing a rough estimate of the candidates' standing in the survey. It is not however a determinant as to the candidates' chances of winning in this coming elections as this is not a popularity contest.

I therefore encourage Samar News to sponsor or co-sponsor a public debate regarding each candidate's program of action. You can separate the positions for Governor, and Vice-Governor, as well as the 2nd district of Samar for Congress, and the Provincial Board members as well.

It is very important for your publication to engage in a highly regarded intellectual fashion the issues that is demanded for each candidate, and his or her agenda for the development of Samar.

As for myself, I have already laid out my program of action for the 2nd district of Samar in my website: www.bannipaulalliforcongress.weebly.com

Thank you.

Best regards,

Banni Paul C. Alli, Jr.
Congressional Candidate
2nd District of Samar

Magandang araw sa inyong lahat. Tayo ay galit sa profit maker dahil they oppress and exploit the workers. Pero galit ba tayo sa politiko na ibinuto natin at pinagnakawan ang ating kaban ng bayan at within six years naging mga multi millioners sila? You don't need the factors of production. All you need is to be a winner by hook or by crook at wela at the end of six years you are a multi millioner.

Ang farmers is the backbone of the nation. What did we do or the government do, to help alleviate the economic conditions of the farmers; to be able to raise the production of their products and live a decent life. When I watch the GMA Correspondents I saw a farmers weak and hopeless in Laoang, Northern Samar In Mountain Province and in Zamboanga and other parts of the Philippines. El Nino ang sinisisi, when they can build irrigation system in every farmland. And don't give me builshit about land conditions. Because if in the desert in Middle East, can build water system to water their plants, how much more for our lands which is full water falls and source of water. At ang ibang candidato, gustong pagbayarin ang ibang bansa sa ating kakulangan. US money comes their taxpayers, same as the money from China. Will they give money to a corrupt government? Without string attached?

Ang naglilingkod at nagmamahal sa Bayan,

Can someone please give us an update on the status of Catbalogan City's airport? I read in Samar News in the past about Samar province's plan to complete and operate the airport for commercial aviation. What happened? It is high time, indeed, that the Catbalogan City airport be completed for the benefit of all Samareños.

To Paul from London

If this is the Burgos I knew in Basey you will enjoy your visit. Basey is surrounded with gorgeous caves, Jasmin beach among other beaches resort with good accomodation and services available in the area about 3 hours away from Calicuan beaches a popular water skiing resort of Eastern Samar close to Sulangan. Roads had been renovated improved over the 30 years time since your wife left our island. You can rent a Van or Jeepney anywhere in Samar daily, weekly or monthly for about 2 thousand pesos per day. Beach hotels picnic areas also provide the best services which can be rented on a daily basis.

Tacloban consist of so many hotels, restaurants, beaches, shopping centers and special transportation, you select. You will cross gorgeous San Juanico bridge to Basey and to Burgos giving you the most attractive sight simple life and peace, the most historic the Visayan Islands has to offer. The last time I was in Samar was in 2007 touring the whole island in a week was such a pleasure. Accommodation is available everywhere and restaurants along the highway are available. To share ideas browse at philippine photo guide under wwwlawaan.com came from a foreigner who tour the P.I. the towns of Samar with his wife. It might help you to carry first aid kit just in case medical emergency comes along and oh, don't forget your flu shots. Ask your doctor for anti malaria tablets before you leave the country. Enjoy the gorgeous view, simple life, hospitable people of Samar.

To Paul of London, England:

Re ur request which I happened to read just now (it's only January 27, 2010, 11:34 p.m. in the Philippines), the only Burgos village that I know of is barrio Burgos of Basey, Samar, Philippines. You need not hire a boat for so many days from Tacloban until you're through visiting Burgos. Burgos is a riverine village, along Golden River, to the left. A pumpboat (boat with outriggers) can be taken from Tacloban City, Leyte, leaving hourly and taking about an hour to Basey town proper's wharf then after a few minutes leaves for Golden River barrios. You can also take a Basey-bound van, or a Basey-bound jeepney, at Tacloban's new bus terminal. You don't need to charter any ride. In Basey, you can stay at the town's "hotel". From Basey, you can also take a pumpboat (it's not advisable this time to take any overland transportation) and get off right at the wharf in Burgos. You can return to Basey before 4 p.m. every weekday (Monday thru Friday) or early morning the following day. Should you be interested, you may want someone in Burgos to meet you at the airport in Tacloban to guide you to Basey and then to Burgos.

Let us see your face; Lord, and we shall be saved

O, LORD, our God from eternity to eternity, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Abba Father, from your throne upon the cherubim, rouse your power, and come to save us. "The world is perishing!"

Lord, your heart is beautiful! Come and soften my heart, and re-create it to be like yours—a heart of mercy, justice, and compassion.

My Prayer: Lord, another week has passed in your company, in your service. What a joy, what an honor, what a glory to be the subject of a king like you! Lord, I know that you make all things new and that through this moment of prayer you can give me new vision of faith to see you more clearly. Lord, help me to strive to be a source of happiness for others. Thank you, Lord, for the gift of faith. It is a gift more precious than life itself. Help me to see others with the eyes of faith, to pour myself out in loving and serving them, just like you did. Help me to love you with madness as I serve each of my brothers and sisters.

Resolution: At the end of the day, I will pay special attention to fulfilling the needs and desires of my family members.

Just trying to get some information. My wife comes from a village called 'Burgos' and she would love to go and see it, she has been away for 30 years. As there is nowhere to stay there, we were wondering if it is possible to hire a boat from Tacloban, for a few days so we could sleep on it. Any help would be appreciated.
