The Commission on Audit claims that the office of
the Presidenty mispent over
8.8 million pesos out of the
P65 million it had received
for the calamity victims of
Guinsaugon, Souther n
Leyte.
According to Danilo
Reyes of the Human Rights
Commission based in Hong
Kong the dubious expenses
included hotel expenses of
its officials and maintenance
of the Presidential Palace's
golf course acr ross the
Pasig River.
Reyes said three years
ago, when over 2000 people
were buried alive in the
deadliest landslide in Philippine history, foreign donations poured in by the millions to help the Guinsaugon
landslide victims victims.
However a large part of the
donations ended up being

The closure notice was
served by Pizon and
Elevera after talking with
the establishment’s managers.
She said the businesses
padlocked failed to comply
with BIR procedures and
have been repeatedly asked
to settle their accounts but
have not responded. She
added that these companies
would have to settle their accounts before they would be
allowed to operate again.
Pizon in an earlier interview with the Souther n
Leyte Times said Oplan
Kandado which began early
this year will continue to
padlock business establishments which don't file in-
come tax returns and understate their income earnings by more than 30 percent. Pizon said Oplan
Kandado is the f lagship
project of Commissioner
Sixto Esquivias.
Assistant Revenue District Officer Carlos Tambal
said the three business firms
were among those that were
under surveillance by the
government’s tax collecting
agency.
The BIR is encouraging
the public to report tax evaders and is offering a reward
equivalent to 10 percent of
the amount eventually collected.

Ironically, those were the positive

ON THE LOCAL FRONT: Kudos to
Presidential Assistant for Eastern Visayas
Cynthia Nierras for spearheading the
two-day tourism value chain workshop
at Maasin City Country Lodge last week,
together with the provincial government,
GTZ and the Department of Tourism.
The action plan output of the workshop, however, will still undergo refinements for a truly workable one-year plan.
But as it is, at least the tourism roadmap
for Southern Leyte has been laid out and
that's a good start.
LESSON FROM
ONDOY
BY WOWIE REYES
On my flight to Manila a few days
after typhoon Ondoy slammed into
Central Luzon, I got a bird’s eye view
of the devastation it wrought on our
riverbanks which were mostly occupied by squatters who should never
have been there.
Although the government had
warned them not to come back most
of the squatters had returned and
were already rebuilding their shanties.
This reminded me of Maasin’s burgeoning squatter colonies along the
Canturing River banks in barangays
Mambajao and Nasaug which are not
only polluting and constricting the
city’s biggest watershed but are a
health hazard and eyesore as well.
One lesson we should have learned
from these annual calamities is that
although we cannot control nature,
we can certainly minimize its damage to life and property. Former US
Vice-President Al Gore was right
when he said in his Nobel Prize winning documentary An Inconvenient
Truth that:
“Although the impact of global
warming is evident, most politicians
still refuse to acknowledge it, because if they did – they would be morally obligated to do something dramatic about it.”
Some might try to down play our
shabby treatment of our waterways
Guinsaugon...

spent for other purposes.
This he claimed was a common practice in the Philippines where aid is diverted leaving little or nothing for disaster victims. He said this was important
to remember because the government has
received a whooping 4.4 billion pesos or
US$94.7 million from foreign donors for
the victims of typhoon“Pepeng” and
“Ondoy.”
Yet despite the downpour of donations, Joey Salceda, the president's economic adviser wants an additionla 46 billion pesos in foreign grants and loans for
rehabilitation and relief of disaster victims.
Salceda said that out of the P46 billion fund 20 billion pesos would be for
relocation, 21 billion for infrastructure
rehabilitation, and 5 billion for livelihood
and agriculture.
It light of this proposal Reyes wants
donors to demand more transparency

by arguing that a super typhoon like
Ondoy would never happen here.
Yet it has, for who among our parents could forget Typhoon Ruping,
which hit Maasin head-on in the 1980s
and made Maasinhons scamper to their
roof tops. And the deadly rain storms
that triggered the Panaon Islands landslides in 2003 that killed over 300
people. Or the mega-landslide disaster
of 2006 that buried a whole village in
Guinsaugon under 30 feet of mud and
boulders the size of dump trucks.
The recent typhoons and the deluge they caused once again revealed
the government’s lack of foresight and
political will in performing its constitutional role as the guardians of our
environment.
These latest events should prod us
into reminding our political leaders
that it is their responsibility to protect
and conserve our rivers and streams
and free it from squatters who constrict its flow and turn its once pristine waters into foul-smelling garbage
dumps.
We are so obsessed with coordinating disasters that we have forgotten
that an once of prevention, is indeed, worth a pound of cure. With
foresight and ample preparation I am
sure we can minimize the damages
that weather disturbances like
Ondoy will bring.
from the Philippines government on how
their donations are spent.
He said the Office of the Philippines
president had a shameful record of diverting foreign donations and aid that
were originally intended for victims.
The COA's findings, he insisted,
should serve as a warning to all foreign
aid agencies which want to make donations to the Philippines.
Reyes said that when COA questioned
the president’s office about the questionable expenditures, it defended its actions
by saying, it had the discretion to spent
the money as it so fit.
Their arguement, Reyes insisted, did
little to justify its stand on faithfully observing the the General Appropriations
Act of 2005, as reenacted for 2006,
which clearly states that "donations,
whether in cash or in kind shall be
deemed automatically appropriate for the
purpose specified by the donor."
However three years after the COA's
findings, none of those responsible for the
questioned expenses have been punished.

It was a relatively peaceful week
in Southern Leyte with only 3 non-fatal stabbings in the province. According to police reports the stabbings
which occurred in Pintuyan, Tomas
Oppus and Maasin City were all triggered by grudges and too much rum
consumed on empty stomachs. All
involved farmers or standbys who
had nothing to do, but drink and reflect on imagined slights, which could
have been settled peacefully but
were allowed to fester.
Meanwhile at the PNP headquarters in Canturing newly installed Provincial Director Pepito Pacada wonders how he can upgrade his police force with no funds for training,
zero forensic capability, no bullets
for target practice and only one liter
of gasoline a day for his mobile
units.
He says the only time their vehicles get a full tank is when they escort motorcades around the city.
But what is particularly alarming
is that his police chiefs have not had
any training to sharpen their investigation skills because they have no
budget for it.
He said he would bring this up at
the next Provincial Peace and Order Council meeting where he would
ask Governor Damian Mercado for
help.
We are hoping the council will understand Colonel Pacada’s dilemma and provide him with funds
for the training seminar he is proposing.
Another matter that Pacada
should attend to is the reckless motorcycle drivers in the city who have
turned our streets into killing fields.
Accidents involving motorcycles
along Ruperto Kangleon national
road from Barangay Pugaling to
Abgao have killed more than a
dozen people including my motherin-law who was rammed by a
drunken motorcyclist while crossing
the street. There is anarchy in our
streets and something should be
done about it.

Filipino World War II veterans have
until February 16, 2010 to file their
claims for financial benefits they are
entitled to under the American Recovery Act of 2009 which was passed by
the U.S. Congress and signed into law
last February 17 by U.S. President
Barack Obama.
The Act formally recognizes the service of Filipino veterans as active military service in the U.S. Armed Forces.
It authorizes a one-time lump-sum payment of US $15000 to Filipino WW II
veterans with U.S. citizenship, and US
$9,000 to non-U.S. citizen veterans.
The United States has approved
$198 million for the benefit of all eligible Filipino WWII veterans. This additional payment will not change or
affect other benefits an individual may
be currently receiving.
The US Embassy, through its Department of Veterans Affairs Manila
Regional Office has already processed
more than 11,000 veterans claims and
has paid out almost $100 million for
this benefit.
For those claimants who have not
yet filed an application, instructions are

dent of the Coconut Federation of the
Philippines said the COMELEC’s decision was ridiculous since the Supreme Court had already ruled in favor of his and other party list’s petition to include their nominees in congress. The House of Representatives
however claims that COCOFED had
not met the two percent requirement
for them to get a seat in the lower
house.
The two percent threshold rule for
party list representation is based on the
premise that a sectoral organization
must garner at least two percent of the
over all votes cast for party list groups
in the country. This is to ensure that
the sitting party list nominee has a sizable following and mandate.
posted on the U.S. Embassy website at
http://manila.usembassy.gov. Claimants are requested not to file duplicate applications if they have already
received acknowledgement of receipt
of their claim.
Applications should be mailed to
the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Manila Office located at the U.S.
US Embassy, 1131 Roxas Boulevard
0930, Manila, Philippines. U.S. citizens
are asked to submit their U.S. passport.
Those who need assistance in completing their application can make an
appointment with a USDVA representative by calling (632) 528-2500.
The USDVA will conduct targeted
outreach throughout the Philippines to
increase awareness about the February
16 deadline among Filipino WW II veterans who may be entitled to receive
the benefits. An announcement of the
dates and times of these outreach
events will be released shortly. The
USDVA pays approximately $17 million per month to veterans residing in
the Philippines. Some $8 million of
this goes to Filipino WWII veterans or
their survivors.
Nonetheless Espina said they had
already filed their request for re-accreditation with COMELEC and was
confident it would be approved by the
commission before the 2010 national
elections.
Supporters of the former mayor
claimed the Comelec was depriving
Southern Leyte of an additional representative in congress who could help
the province because a sectoral representative has the same powers and
Countywide Development Funding
privilege as a district congressman.
As COCOFED president Espina
spends most of his time in Manila as
chief executive officer of the federation and as board member of its affiliate entities which include UNICHEM,

plantations and 11 other COCOFED
controlled companies. (By ANTONIO M.

AS I SEE IT
By ANTONIO MENDOZA REYES
Enemy Within
If, I Were...
If I were the opposition candidate for city
mayor, which I’m sure I’ll
never be, these would be
my top priorities.
My first official act
would be to read the City
Master Plan which was
prepared by a Manila
based management consulting firm several years
ago so I would know
where we are, and where
we are going.
I would then send all
the city councilors to the
UP Graduate School of
Local Governance for
crash courses in public
administration so they
will know what it is
they’re supposed to do.
My third priority
would be to recr uit
Quezon City Treasurer
Victor Endriga as my fiscal policy adviser. He has
done wonders for QC
and can do the same for
our city. Endriga is due
to retire soon, and since
he is a Southern Leyteño,
I’m sure he would want
to help the city solve its
huge debt problem.
I would then request
the line departments in
Manila to assign their top
technocrats here because
we need them badly.
Most of our national
agency heads have been
here too long and have
run out of ideas.
My fifth priority would
be to stop the construction of all multi-storied
buildings at the reclamation site, because its base
is porous and unstable,
and since global warming
is an “Inconvenient
truth” that we must accept and prepare for.
My next act would be
to create a lean (but
mean) task force on Climate Change. so we’ll be
ready when our coastal
barangays start to sink
and its residents have to
be relocated and provided with basic services
like water, electricity,
roads and alternative
means of livelihood.
I would then confiscate all illegal chainsaws
in Maasin; for no matter
how many trees our good
congressman plants, illegal loggers in connivance
with CENRO foresters
will cut down a lot more.
My eight priority
would be to reconstruct
all the city’s drainage canals so they won’t be
stagnant, foul smelling,
and havens for dengue
carrying mosquitoes - and
God knows what else.
And since water is the
source of life, I would
have the squatters along
our river banks removed,
for they are not only eyesores and flood hazards,
but a reminder of bad
local leadership. I would
also have the Maasin
Water District filtration
and piping system analyzed to ascertain our tap
water is safe enough to
drink.
These are some of the
more urgent issues I believe any aspirant for city
mayor should, but are not
addressing.
And I sincerely hope
that a candidate in the
coming mayoral election
(irregardless of party affiliation) will confront
them head-on instead of
harping on marginal accomplishments and the
weaknesses of ones protagonist.
editorial
The Yap family of Sogod are an enterprising lot. Their annual anniversary
celebration of their JYSMI enterprises is a three-day affair which includes a
drum and bugle corp, motorcades, sportsfests and entertainment by celebrities from Manila. It’s like a town fiesta, but better organized.
Motorcab Bottleneck
Students of the Southern Leyte State University are complaining about the
growing number of motorcabs which block their main entrance as they wait
for passengers. SLSU President Gloria Reyes claims they have complained
about this to the municipal government, but so far nothing has been done
about it. We are therefore requesting Mayor Shefferd Tan to act on this matter Asap.
Letters to the Editor
PNP Needs More Recruits
Please help me prod Southern Leyte's youth to take the Philippine National
Police Academy examinations. I was a proctor for the last examination and noticed only a few took the test there. I would like to encourage more young
people to take the examination which could lead to a very exciting career with
the PNP. Our next entrance examination is scheduled this october 25. For more
information please contact me at my email below.

He arrived on the precise

My name is Mariko Tinaya. I am a graduate student currently studying in Pennsylvania USA. I have been assigned a research project which require current
information about two world cities. I have chosen employment rate fluctuations over the past five years in Maasin, Southern Leyte and Johannesburg,
South Africa I have been looking through your bewspaper's archives and found
the article "2,000 Skilled Workers Leave Province Yearly" to be quite intriguing. Would you have any more information on Southern Leyte's employment
rate? If not, could you tell me where I can get them? Thank you in advance for
your assistance. I have enjoyed reading your newspaper and acquainting myself
with some of the concerns of the people there.

Thank You SLT
I would like to extend my gratitude for your help. I sent you a request 5 or 6
months ago to help me find my Serenio family in Southern Leyte and sure enough,
everything worked out great. I heard that you guys posted my comment in your

now have a part of my past that I have never known. Thank you for all your

Vital tips on waste segregation
1. The best thing to do with waste is not to create it at all. Reduce waste at
home by sensible purchasing such as buying reusable packaging instead of one
time use containers like tetrapacks. Buy glass insted of plastic bags Do not buy
small quantities in mini-packs or sachets, because it means more packaging
waste.
2. A good way to look at solid waste handling is through the 3R's. This means
Reduction, Reuse and Recycling. When you think of the 3R's they inform you
clearly that the managing and handling of waste begins long before it is ever
created. It begins with reduction and avoiding waste in the first place. Only
after that do reuse and recycling come into play. This will lead to Zero Waste
Movement for proper Waste Management.

3. Citizens must segregate their garbage, they must be resposible for ensuring
that it reaches the dust bins in segregated form. They must be resposible that its
thrown inside the bins. Citizens should think about teaming up with local waste
pickers for better recycling and cleanliness because they are a clean locality's
best friends.
4. Understand where each piece of garbage you throw out is classified. Don't be
lazy in doing such a simple task for the environment. If we properly segregate
our waste our community will be a much healthier place. (BY WOWIE REYES)

SMART to expand services here
SOGOD - SMART Broadband Inc.
(SBI) the company that provides Smart
Bro’s wireless service, was given the
go ahead of the National Telecommunications Commission last week to operate a more advanced technology involving data communications in
Southern Leyte and other provinces in
the visayas that would cost the cellular firm P341.25 million.
Smart will establish a data leased
channel circuit network service in the
provinces of Southern Leyte,
Zamboanga Sibugay, Sultan Kudarat,
Biliran, Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental, Dinagat Island and Shariff
Kabunsuan.
The NTC, however, has not yet assigned SBI the necessary frequencies
for it to operate the said service. The
frequencies, the agency said, would still
be subject to availability.
SBI continued to expand as its wireless broadband subscriber base grew 26
percent to reach 689,000 as at end-
MONTANO
June 2009. Of this number, 261,000
were on SmartBro’s prepaid service
while 428,000 are postpaid subscribers. Smart Bro is today’s most widely
available broadband service provider
in the country.
The frequency bandwidths are essential to SBI’s planned deployment of
WiMax, or Worldwide Interoperability
for Microwave Access. WiMax is a telecommunications technology aimed at
providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from pointto-point links to full mobile cellular
type access.
SBI had told the NTC that there are
various services that it could offer to
the public using WiMax technology
operating on the 700MHz. Among the
basic services include broadband
Internet, voice over Internet protocol,
text messaging, electronic messaging,
wireless video streaming sharing and
digital voice communicator on a handheld radio.

sa edukasyon ng mga kabataan at mga
disenteng hospital na kailangan namin.
Unang-una, gusto kong i-regulate ang
fishing sa Bohol, dalhin ang quality
education dito sa Manila sa Bohol, [at]
dumami ang prep schools sa Bohol,"
Montano said.
