1-Billion fund to tackle
climate change concerns Te Climate Change Commission (CCC) is
now
raising the capacity o local government units (LGUs) inthe
country to implement climate change action plansnext year that will
be financed through the P1 billionPeoples Survival Fund (PSF).
CCC Secretary Lucille Sering said that the Depart-ment o Budget
and Management, Department o theInterior and Local Government
(DILG) and her officerecently signed a joint memorandum circular to
trackclimate change expenditure in the local budget.
Te signing boosted CCCs effort to disseminate in-ormation about
climate change programs and activitiesto vulnerable LGUs.
By next year, we are looking that 50% o vulnerabletowns and
cities will comply with the policy directive,Sering told reporters
at the sidelines o climate changeworkshop or Visayas journalists

ACLOBAN CIY- Te United Nations High Com-missioner or Reugees
(UNHCR) started distributing onOctober 13 thousands o core relie
items to priority areasin this city as part o its on-going recovery
assistance.
Te UN reugee agency began its distribution o 4,000hygiene kits
comprised o toiletries, wrap-around cloth-ing and undergarments in
our transitional shelters in thenorth o the city where 372
displaced amilies rom thehardest-hit communities o the San Jose
district are tem-porarily relocated.
Te hygiene kits will be apportioned across the
agencyssub-offices in Ormoc City in Leyte and Guiuan, EasternSamar
or subsequent distribution in the coming days.
Te delivery o these core relie items rom the UNHCRis primarily
linked to their global protection mandate insituations o
displacement resulting rom conflict and nat-ural disasters.
Tese hygiene kits help improve the water and sani-tation
conditions or displaced amilies in their new and
temporary relocation sites by mitigating risks o
certaindiseases, said Eilish Hurley, UNHCR associate
protectionofficer in acloban.
UNHCR delivers fresh batch of
non-food items in areas in Eastern
Visayas hit by YolandaEarlier this year, the UNHCR completed its
distribution
o emergency core relie items such as tents, plastic
sheets,blankets, jerry cans, kitchen sets, solar lanterns and
otheressential non-ood items across three regions in the
centralPhilippines.
o date, and since November last year, we have de-livered core
relie items to more than 700,000 o the mostvulnerable o the
affected populations including those inar-flung areas, Hurley
added.
Meanwhile, the International Organisation or Migra-tion (IOM)
coordinated with UNHCRs protection team tobring their
energy-efficient charcoal-ueled stoves to thesepriority areas.
Te UNHCR is also set to distribute another batch osolar-powered
lanterns later this year. Solar lanterns areregarded as one o the
most innovative relie items in theagencys operations, lighting up
communities to help thesaety and security o amilies.
UNHCRs emergency and recovery efforts are part o an
inter-agency humanitarian response to typhoon Haiyan
incoordination with government authorities and local com-munities.

ACLOBAN CIY- Extending until 30 yearso age or one to be
considered as eligible as anSK (Sangguniang Kabataan) would entail
a longlegal process.
Tus said lawyer Jose Nick Mendros, re-gional director o the
Commission on Elections(Comelec), when asked on his stand on the
pro-posal to widen the age requirements or one tobe considered as
an SK.
Senator Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos fileda resolution extending
the age requirements orthe SK up to 30 years old rom the present 15
to17 years old.
According to Mendros, i the proposal o Sen.Marcos will be
considered, this will take a longprocess as Congress has to amend
the law on agerequirement or the SK.
On top o this, the age requirement or one torun or a local post
like mayor or even governorhas also to be amended considering that
even a22 year old could run or a local post, Mendrossaid.
Comelec-8 director not
incline to extend SK age
requirement up to 30Te Comelec regional director, however,
said
that he personally believes that or one to be eli-gible as an
SK, the age requirement must be rom15 to 25 years old.
Increasing the age requirements or SK mem-bers to 25 years old
would result to wider rangeo choices or youth leaders, Mendros
explained.
I we want to increase the age o SK to 30years old thereore we
need to amend the lawthat allows or a person to run or elective
po-sition like on local chie executive position byalso increasing
their age to above 30 years old,he added.
Leyte Vice Governor Carlo Loreto, meantime,said that while their
council continue to unctioneven without a representative rom the
SK, hestill want to see one saying that they are bettersituated to
really know the needs and concerns othe young sector they
represents.
During the recently listing up or the SK, thereare now 220,416
eligible voters or the youthelections slated on February 21, 2015.

DOLE restarts inspections among business
establishments in EV to check labor law complianceACLOBAN CIY Te
Department o La-
bor and Employment (DOLE) has resumed itsfirst post-Yolanda
routine inspection o establish-ments in the region to come up with
updates odestroyed establishments and check their compli-ance to
labor laws.
Te DOLE regional office targets 1,120 estab-lishment or this
years inspection launched twomonths ago and will be completed on
October 31.
We are supposed to start the routine inspec-tion early this year
but we were preoccupied withemergency jobs and livelihood programs,
said
DOLE regional mediator-arbiter Roy Buenae.Te official said that
aside rom tracking theestablishments compliance to more than 70
laborlaws, they will also assess the status o establish-ments in
Leyte, Samar, and Eastern Samar aferthe super typhoon.
Afer the rapid assessment last year, we donthave any survey o
typhoon-related impacts to es-tablishments. We need to know o their
situationand find ways to assist them, Buenae said.
He even raised doubts that the region will beable to meet the
target o 1,120 firms since havenot yet resumed their operation afer
November8, 2013.
As o end o September, 711 establishments
have been inspected by nine labor laws compli-ance officers,
accounting 63% o the target.Tis years inspection applies the rules
on la-
bor laws compliance system under DepartmentOrder 131 issued July
o last year.
Henry Cua, president o the Leyte Chamber oCommerce and Industry,
said the national gov-ernment should ocus on assisting business
own-
ers instead o checking whether some standardsare not
ollowed.
Its hard to ollow all the standard given oursituation afer
Yolanda. Te national governmentis very slow in assisting us so we
just have workwhatever is lef in our business, said Cua, whoowns
the acloban Ultrasteel Corp.
O the three branches that he owns, only onehas resumed its
operation.
Buenae, however, said that the new routineinspection is not just
design to detect violationsbut to encourage compliance.
Te old inspection aims to compel ownersto comply but the new one
is developmental ap-proach. I there are deficiencies, we will
guideemployers how to comply instead o punishingthem, he added.
In the priority list are establishments withmore than 10
workers, contractors, engaged inhazardous word, employing child
workers, reg-istered sea vessels engaged in domestic shippingand
bus companies.
Others are also covered in the inspectionbut they are not the
priority establishment. Forsmaller businesses, our intervention is
trainingand advisory visit where we inorm them o oth-er options so
they could be exempted, Buenae
explained.Te DOLE earlier reported that 2,290 busi-ness
establishments have been destroyed bystrong winds and storm surges
here in the regiondue to the onslaught o Yolanda.
Te destruction orced 1,558 firms to shutdown their operations.

sure that local officials are capa-ble o utilizing the budget
prop-erly, Sering added.
Te P1 billion und will o-cus on providing technical as-sistance
to 4th to 6th class townswhere local resources are notenough to
hire experts to sup-port less competent planningofficers.
Capacity building is twiceor three times more valuablethan
putting up hard inrastruc-
ture in mitigating the impacts oclimate change. It requires
polit-ical will especially i it would a-ect their development
agenda,Sering added.
Te assistance will concen-trate on local governments
har-monization o climate changemitigation, disaster responseand
development plans.
Te official noted that manyclimate change-related
projectsproposed by LGUs are just reg-ular inrastructure, without
sci-entific considerations, such astwo-storey buildings,
basketball
courts, and waiting sheds.Te CCC secretary empha-sized the need
to adapt climatechange strategies since it would
be more costly i the governmentwould act late.Approved in 2012,
the PSF
provides the long-term financestreams to enable the governmentto
effectively address the impacts oclimate change.
Te und can be used to imple-ment local climate change
actionplans and make communities moreresilient to climate-induced
disas-ters, according to the CCC.
Adaptation activities are relatedto water resources
management,land management, agriculture andfisheries, health,
inrastructure de-velopment, natural ecosystems and
capacity building.In 2009, the government enact-
ed the Philippine Climate ChangeAct (CCA). Afer a year, the
Phil-ippine Disaster Risk Reduction andManagement Act was passed,
com-plementing the CCA.
Planning took place in 2011 andit was ollowed with a climate
tag-ging in 2012. Tis year is the issu-ance o supplemental
guideline orCCA implementation.
We really work hard on thisbecause we have a timeline, but wecan
only have this implementedin 2015. We will start the compli-
ance monitoring early next year.We might be surprised that a lot
othem have complied already, Ser-ing added.

them as child workers.Guzman also said that as o this year, they
have moni-
tored our cases o child labor in the province.
Te labor official said that poverty remains to be themain reason
why cases o child labor exists in Eastern Sa-mar, considered to be
one o the most depressed provincesin the country.
Parents require their children to work instead o at-tending
school to gain income or the amily and this isconsidered as child
labor, said Guzman.
As stated in Article VIII o R. A. No. 7610 otherwiseknown as the
Special Protection o Children AgainstChild Abuse, Exploitation and
Discrimination Act on
Section 12, children below 15 years o age shall not be em-ployed
except when a child works directly under the soleresponsibility o
his parents or legal guardian and whereonly members o the employers
amily are employed.
DOLE strongly calls or the barangay and the localgovernment
units officials on the rampant cases o childlabor in the
region.
We also work together with the DSWD (Departmento Social Welare
and Development) to reduce cases ochild labor by providing
livelihood assistance to priori-tized parents who have minor
children and is vulnerableto child labor, Guzman added.
Apart rom the livelihood programs, DSWD alsoconducted parents
counselling or them to be inormed
about the child rights and protection to lessen the ram-pant
cases o child labor. (JEANE MARIE M.FAMINO-GAN, LNU Intern)

At the height of the media blitz on the com-
ing 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 per-fectly 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 ar ticle popped in the In-
ternet purpor ting to be an independent news
provider masquerading as depository oftruth 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 Janu-
ary 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 distantBrgy. 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 vic-
Hoax it istims of Yolanda from their temporary shelters
in Candahug. The equally destroyed Govern-
ment Center located also in Candahug is being
lobbied by the Palo government to Vatican to
be a site of the Holy Mass that the Pope willcelebrate in his
visit here.
Reports have it that the Palo government
endeavors to fasttrack the transfer of the
victims from Candahug to spruce up the sur-
roundings in preparation for the visit of the
Pope. Bashers commented that this intends,
too, to hide the truth that until now these dis-
placed victims have nowhere to go and are
not well served with their survival needs by
the local and national governments. The localgovernment denies
the purpose as bashers
put forward but admitted the need to relocate
the victims.
The archdiocese of Palo also claimed this
news on the Papal letter is untrue. However,
there is no official statement from the Bish-
ops Residence obtained so far by LSDE on
this issue as of this writing. The Archdiocesan
Vicar-General Rev. Fr. Rex Ramirez disclosed
WO items grabbed my attention these past days.oth commanded
intense prayerso thanksgiving, expi-tion and petition. One was the
first anniversary o the 7.2remor that hit my beloved province o
Bohol, and Cebuhere Im now assigned.
Te other was the Synod o Bishops on Family now go-ng on in the
Vatican, which some observers also consid-red as a kind earthquake.
Its mid-Synod report generateduite a heat among many who certainly
are seeing thingsrom different angles.
Te Bohol earthquake destroyed a lot o churches, butt
strengthened also the aith o many. It also brought outhe resilient
character o the people. Its a good reason toe happy and thankul,
and to still hope that things, andhe people especially, continue
improving.
Its different with respect to the Synod. Te cracks, po-ential
destruction and havoc it is producing are so very
subtle that many do not even notice them. Tats why, thatathering
to the eyes o many has become more disturb-ng.
But there is always hope, and so lets pray that with thepen,
candid but respectul discussion the Pope is pro-oting in this
Synod, the issues would be resolved prop-
rly, with every voice and observation given due attentionnd
blended, hopeully seamlessly, in one organic, livingiece, with the
divine spirit animating it.
Its not an easy task, o course. And so we really haveo implore
the help o the Holy Spirit to guide our Churcheaders to come out
with a document that would makeverybody happy. Tat may sound
impossible, or at leastmprobable, but hope always springs eternal.
We just haveo try to be most receptive to the Spirits
promptings.
Te main issue, to my mind, is how to use together thexclusivity
o truth and the inclusivity o charity. In this re-ard, it may be
useul to keep in mind all possible leaningsnd biases people can
have and try to craf a documenthat would be kind o politically or
pastorally correct orveryone, not avouring one over the other.
We have to presume that everyone is or God, thatveryone is or
the truth, charity, justice and mercy, thatveryone is a sinner
called to become a saint, etc. But weave to get real on how each
one is in his concrete condi-
ion.Some can be described as conservatives, others liberal,some
saintly and pious, others openly sinul, some are ohe intellectual
and theoretical type, others are more o theragmatic kind, some
steeped more in tradition, mould,een in innovations, etc. We also
have straight and gayeople.
Tis is not to mention that people are classified accord-ng to
age, sex, proession, social, economic and healthondition, talents,
charisms and other endowments. Somere healthy, others not, others
may even be in the ICU. Ev-ryone has to be respected, loved and
cared or.
Yes, we have to give more attention and care to theeedy, conused
and lost but not at the expense o sacrific-
ng those who are well-off, clear-minded and very much inhe
mainstream o orthodoxy.
A way has to be ound to make everyone care or one
nother, with the better-off giving more to those who areore in
need who actually can also give something pre-
ious, i intangible, to the better off.Whatever document or
comment or initiative our
Church leaders make about his pastoral ministry shoulde tactul,
avoiding anything that can disparage, much
ess, alienate in any way certain sectors. Tey have to learno be
most prudent, discreet and delicate especially inheir words.
O course, man will always be man, still haunted by hiseaknesses,
mistakes and all that, but Christ has already
ome and redeemed us with his death and resurrection,nd all we
need to cure what is sick, right what is wrong,eal what is wounded
is already given to us, entrusting the
Church with the power to dispense those means.Its right that
Christs redemptive work, while already
erect and made available to us, still remains a mysteryhat can
spring surprises to us. But these surprises willever be a denial o
what is already known and lived bys as authoritatively taught by
the Church, but rather a
Two earthquakes
deepening o those.We have to revisit the doctrine on graduality
and con-
version as articulated in Familiaris consotio and see to
it that it does not degenerate into relativism, which is tomake
God according to our designs. Everyone needs con-tinuing
conversion, you, me, priests, bishops and even thePope. Lets help
one another instead o quarreling.

pres-ervation o the remainingorests in the Island oSamar serving as

He pointed out that theparticipation o the publicand other

and
As habitat of the Philippine eagle

Dili-man has sighted twice andreconfirmed the existenceo the

He said that the teamreports sightings o themighty eagle in the

theirexpedition, September 19to October 4, 2014, bothareas within

Te Philippine eaglewas first spotted in Pa-ranas, Samar on June
15,1896 by a British naturalistJohn Whitehead.
Sibbaluca said that the
existence o the Philippineeagle in Samar orests hasalso been
reported o inthe early 1980s and thesightings o the bird in1997,

Sibbaluca pointed out
that the existence o Phil-ippine eagle and otherwildlie in the

He said thatthe presence o the Philip-pine eagle in Samar

The regional ofce of the Department of Environment and Natural

that the archdiocese
was notified of the
Palo governments
timetable of remov-
ing the bunkhouses
in Candahug and
relocating the occu-
pants therein by end
of November.
No word yet thoughfrom the Catholic
Bishops Conference
of the Philippines as
well as to whether
or not the relocation
is objected by the
Church, particularly
the Vatican.
Unless these vic-
tims who are subject
of relocation fromCandahug were mo-
mentarily placed in
the area by the local
church, transfering
them is a preroga-
tive of the Palo mu-
nicipal government.
The Church could
only give comfort
to the weary heart
of the victims, this
matter being out of
the concerns of the
church in its post
Yolanda relief and
rehabilitation pro-gram. However, what
it could do is to help
facilitiate that these
victims who truly de-
serve a place near
the Pope really finds
their way to him, and
not just the special
treatment to the
VIPs.
