Zosimo de la Rama shows the scars he got from his hell-likeexperience with the sinking of the Doa Paz 25 years ago. Of

the estimated 4,000 passengers of the said passenger vessel,

the 46-year old man was just one of the 24 or so who survived

in what is considered to be the worlds worst peacetime maritime

disaster.(JOEY A.GABIETA)

BARUGO, Leyte- Theinferno-like experiencemay have happened exactly25 years ago today but itremains vivid to the mindof Zosimo de la Rama who

was only 21 years of ageat that time of the tragedyconsidered to be the worldsworst peacetime maritimedisaster.

Whenever I see thescars in my body, I could nothelp but recall that tragedy. Ithought it would be the endof my life but I hold on to myfaith; that God will help mesurvive from that inferno,de la Rama,46, said in aninterview at their house inBarangay Minuhang, afarming village 1.5 kmsaway from the town center.

Indeed, he survivedthe harrowing ordeal. Hestayed at the aming waterfor eight hours before hewas rescued by a crew of a

passing passenger ship, M/VClaudio which was en routeto Manila.

He suffered a third-degree burn, particularly

both his arms and at hisface when he jumped to thewater which was practicallyon re. The wounds wereso severe that he stayed formore than two months ina hospital in Manila, de laRama said.

The tragedy was sopainful, he said, that resultedfor him to develop sometrauma. I could no longerwithstand seeing a re andgoing to the sea, de la Ramasaid.

But I am thankful thatdespite of that harrowingexperience, I survived andnow live a normal life,de la Rama, a father offour children and work asa pedicab driver, said. Hereturned to his hometownsometimes on April, 1988

after staying at houses of his

relatives.de la Rama was one of

the 24 or so passengers whosurvived when the passengership, the M/V Doa Paz,collided with an oil tankerM/T Victor, on the eveningof December 20, 1987 offthe coast of Tablas Strait inMindoro.

He survived by jumpingo f f f rom the s ink ing

passenger vesse l down tothe already flaming waterand swam, naked as he putoff his short and t-shirt tomake him lighter.

The whole area wasbu rni ng . I he ard cr iesfor help. And I kept onsaying, God, God why isthis happening as I wasimagining Satan laughing tous all victims, he said.

After two hours or so,he said, everything turnedeerily silent with him aloneat the vast waters. A oatinglog helped him carry thenight until a passing vessel,rescued him, de la Ramasaid.

The M/V Doa Paz was

on its way to Manila from

Tacloban City port when the

collision occurred, killingmore than 4,000 passengerswho were all from various

parts of Eastern Visayas.de la Rama said that

he and his sister-in-law,Sally Alipio, boarded theill-fated passenger vesselon December 19 whichdeparted at the Tacloban portfor Manila at around 4 p.m.

He said that he wasconvinced to leave hishometown by Sally to workin Divisoria, a market inManila known for wideassortment at low pricedgoods where the family ofthe latter owned a stall.

When we entered thevessel, it was already fullwith so many people. Infact, I learned that some

passengers chose not toboard Doa Paz as the shipwas already brimming with

passenger s, de la Ramasaid.

His sister-in-law was oneof those who perished withher body never recoveredor have known to have beenrecovered, de la Rama said.

He said that his name and

Survivor, relatives, kin remembervictims of Doa Paz tragedy

that of his sister-in-law wasnot included in the shipsmanifest of passengers asthey bought their tickets atthe last minute as they wereoriginally to board another

pa ss en ge r ve ss el , M/ VTacloban, which departedearlier on the day theyarrived in Tacloban City.

Prior to the passenger

ship docking at the Taclobanwharf, it first docked atCatbalogan (now a city inwestern Samar).

The list of passengerswas based on the numberof canvas cots available.The cots were already fully-occupied by passengers. Infact, two or three passengersshared for a single canvascot, he said, explaining whyhis name was not included inthe ofcial manifest.

The M/V Doa Paz hadonly a capacity of more than1,500 passengers but variousaccounts claimed that at thetime of the incident, it couldhave been carrying between3,000 to 4,000 passengers.

Meantime, the M/TVictor was an oil tankership which was loaded atthat time of the incident of8,800 gasoline and other

petroleum products and onits way to Masbate fromBataan.

While de la Rama has yetto fully come to terms withthe incident he experienced,some relatives of those

who died appeared to haveaccepted the fate.Edwin Fua said that while

it was at rst very difcultfor their family to acceptthe deaths of their motherand two of his brothers, theyhave no other recourse butto accept their cruel demise.

We went to variousfuneral parlors in Manilafor three weeks without letup when we learned thatmany of the dead passengerswere brought there. We werehoping that we could ndtheir (dead) bodies but to

our dismay, we never saw

them, Fua of Tacloban Cityand 46 years old, said.

Killed during that incidentwas his mother, Loreta and

brothers Saturnino and JesusIV, who was already makinga name in Tacloban at thattime as a basketball player.

During November 1 and2, they offered prayers andcandles for their mother andtwo siblings at the Tacloban

public cemetery, Fua said.We, of course, struggled

to come to terms that theyperis hed at that trage dy.

TACLOBAN CITY- Theleader of the soldiers who

were reportedly involved inthe killing of a well-knwonbotanist Leonardo Co and histwo companions two years

ago said that he is willing toproduce them as long as thereis an order for him to do so.

Colonel Joel Nacnac,commanding officer of the19th Infantry Battalion basedin Kananga town in Leyte,

said that they would abidewhatever will be the decisionof the Department of Justiceor the courts.

As long as there is anorder coming from the DOJ orthe courts for me to produce

the soldiers, I will abide thatorder. What we just want isthat a fair deliberations over

the case, Nacnac, said in aphone interview said.It was learned from

Nacn ac th at th e so ld ie rsaccused to be responsible in

the killing of Co and his twocompanions, Julius Borromeoand Sofronio Cortez, are still

active.He said that they knew

already the findings andthe recommendation of the

Commission on HumanRights seeking for criminal

and administrative complaintsbe led against them.

We will abide any orderissued by the court or the DOJ.We will not hide anything,the Army leader said.

D e s p i t e o f t h erecommendation of the CHR,Nacnac said that they stil l

hold on their earlier positionthat the three were killedduring a legitimate operationsby the soldiers agains t the

members of the NPA.Co,together with his

companions, were killed inthe mountains in Kananga

town last November 15, 2010.The group of Co was

conducting a bioderversity

research in the area ascommissioned by the EnergyDevelopment Corp.(EDC)

when the incident happened.The so ld iers , led byLt.Ronald Odchimar, claimedthat they were in the arearunning after members of the

rebel group, the New PeoplesArmy.

This ensued a firefight

between the two groups.At that time of the incident,

the 19th IB was headed byCol. Federico Tutaan who is

now assigned in Mindanao.This claim of the military,

however, was dismissed byvarious human rights group

saying that there was noencounter and that the threewere killed by the soldiersas they were mistaken to be

rebels.Ofcials of the Katungod-

Sinirangan Bisayas, a human

rights group based in the city,found the recommendationof the CHR rather slowconsidering that the incident

happened more than twoyears.

Irma Mepico-Balaba,regional coordinator of

the Katungod-SiniranganBisayas, said that initialinvestigations by various

groups have revealed thatthere was no encounter andthat the soldiers of the 19th

IB were the ones who shotand killed Leonardo Co andhis two companions.

We are not happy on thepart of the Katungod.That is

not the kind of justice that weare expecting so long as thoseresponsible are still active

in service and not in jail,Mepico-Balaba said.

We are sad that it tookthem (CHR) two years to

determined the fact that theyidentified elements of the

19th IB have violated humanrights and international

humanitarian law, she said.She said that the group

hopes that the case of Co andhis two companions would

be given justice and not onlyup to recommendation level.

Filing of charges must

follow soon right after ittook the CHR two long yearsof slow-paced progress.Ever since, the evidence had

been so strong against themilitary that they pointedtheir guns to Prof. Costeam and strafed them down

dead, Dean Lacandazo,regional secretary-general ofKatungod, said in a separate

interview.F o r l awy er Ka t r i n a

Castillo, the recommendation

of the CHR appears to be paconsuelo de bobo.This is nothing but a pa

consuelo de bobo consideringof the still many unresolved

cases of extrajudicial killingsin the country. It took twoyears of the CHR to come

up with its recommendationco n s i d e r i n g o f s t ro n gevidence against the military,Castillo,head of legal service

of Katungod-SB, said. (JOEY

A. GABIETA)

19th IB commanding ofcer says he will produce

soldiers involved in Cos killing if there is an order director of DTI, said.As of yesterday, Nierras

said they have not received

any complaint of abnormal

adjustments of prices.

Among the products

pr iori ti zed by the DTIs

several brands of ham, fruit

Although these items are

said they are not setting aside

other products. (SARWELLLQ. MENIANO)

who helped relatives ofabout 15 victims, said thatwhile many families wholost their loved ones weregiven compensation of P30,000 by the Sulpicio LinesCompany, owner of the ill-fated passenger vessel, itwas not enough.

It was the worst seadisaster during peacetime.And we hope that this kindof tragedy will never happenagain, especially involving

p e op l e f r o m E a s t e rnVisayas, Menzon, a formervice governor of Leyte, said.(JOEY A. GABIETA)

But in the end, we have norecourse but to accept it,Fua said.

For Jazmine Bonifacio,who lost her mother Pureza,younger brother Antonio,an uncle, an aunt and fourcousins, she still nd it hardto accept the kind of deathsthat they have.

Up to this time, I stillwant to see their remains andit would only be the time thatI would totally accept theirdeaths. In fact, I refused to

a suggestion that we makegraves for them, she said.

Twenty-ve years afterthe tragedy, she still missesher mother and younger

So, you are still alive

FIDEL D. BANZON

You wake up today with the

same world you saw yesterday,

right?

Are you happy the end of the

world predicted by philosophers

and false prophets did not come

true? The December 21 dooms-

day is a plausible theory that cre-

ates uncertainty for some.

The Mayan of Central Amer-

ica, according to Ned Potter of

abcnews.go.com, made a new

calendar that started on year 3114

BC that to end after 5,126 years.

It replaced the old cylinder calen-

dar that lasted for 52 years only.

Hence, the 5,126 that began

on 3114 ends today.

Some astronomers

watching the sky calculated

today is the date of the plan-

etary alignment. They cal-

culated derailment of one

of the planets will hit earth,

so, the end of the world.

If you believe you are still

alive enjoying the coolness

of December then the as-

tronomer must be laughing

this moment.

The Mayans lamented

their calendar was used by

unscrupulous persons want-

ing to be known in the ex-

penses of other persons.

The event supposed to hap-

pen today is used by mon-

eymakers, businesspersons

promoting products.

False prophets flourish. Philosophers sprout.

mid the nancial difculties that people

face, Christmas seems bleak and silent a

celebration this year than in the past. Wehad been hit by various disasters, both natural

and man-made with repercussions devastating

to the lives of the greater number. Only the rich

and powerful seem enjoying the season while

the less privileged make do with whatever bless-

ings they have at hand this Christmas. Many of

our people had been hard-pressed making both

ends meet that they miss to realize the coming

of the yuletide season and eventually this great

day, Christmas day.

We had been used to the practice of the less

signicant and less essential, mainly with merry

celebration of sumptuous meals and overflowing

drinks. That had been the binding factor that

draws every family into the dining table as the

clock ticks into the day past midnight on Christ-

mas eve. Families no matter the socio-economic

condition, would nd the means to put some-

thing for the family to partake on the eve we

mark as the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Others are into various practices that pose

danger and risks to lives and properties. Ignit-

ing recrackers and reworks somehow add

to the merriness of the celebration although

to the peace-loving and those wanting silence

for the soul, nd recrackers irksome and an-

noying. Many people are duped into spending

so much for noise and hazardous celebration,

sacricing what ought to be spent for basic

needs and food for the family.

Some people are into buying gifts for pre-

sents to those people they love, forgetting

if not purposely excluding those whom they

consider unworthy for being not their friend

anyway. The gift giver is in a good mood of

Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town ofJudah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.When Elizabeth heard Marys greeting, the infant leaped in her womb,and Elizabeth, lled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice andsaid, Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit ofyour womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my

Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greet-ing reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed areyou who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would befullled.

LABOR PAINS

As the pain subsided, Tonya glanced nervously at the lighted clockon the dresser. She wished she could have a cigarette. The hardest thingabout pregnancy so far was giving up smoking, but she wanted to do itfor the baby. Besides, it wouldnt be too much longer now. The ultra-sound showed it was a girl so she and Rick named her Nykesha. Shecould feel Nykesha now, moving inside her, maybe getting ready to beborn tonight. When Nykesha moved like that, Tonya would sing her anold African song her grandmother taught he r when she was small. So shesang softly and wondered of this was how Mary felt the night baby Jesuswas born. A baby stirring in a mothers womb always seems to give riseto thoughts of Christmas. She heard Rick fumble for his glasses. Whattime is it, honey? he asked, groggy. Tonya smiled and touched her hus-bands handsome face. Its time for us to get up. I think this is going tobe Nykeshas birthday. Prayer: O Mary, mother of Jesus and mother of

the church, you were so fully and completely a woman the night you feltGod was ready to be born from your body. Pray that I, too, may bringforth the Christ for others. Action: Think of a time when you reallybrought the grace of Christ into the life of another person. Rememberwhat it was like and how you felt. (Between Sundays by Paul Boudreau,published by Paulines.

Christmas...from page 4

While America grieves

over the Sandy Hook mas-

sacre, gun buyers trooped

to gunshops and salvaged

whatever gun they can pos-

sess with the fear that Presi-

dent Obama may ultimately

ban guns.

In Delhi, the most brutalgangrape of a paramedical

student has also stirred the

leadership to restore death

penalty. Meanwhile, the

Philippine bicameral body

has nally passed the Re-

productive Health Bill.

With all these global and

local concerns this Christ-

mas, I, on a recent Decem-

ber night, found myself au-

diting what I have reected

on and written for LSDE to

consider as printworthy for

the year. I am lucky to have

churned in at least aroundfty or so with favorite fa-

miliar themes to include:

patriotism and governance,

relationships, humor and

adversity, family lives and

selected global issues.

The night being a rainy

one, was not a good idea to

start an argument. But I did

say that I recalled that most

of my columns were home

consumption and none were

combative nor offensive. Isthat right? Most having in-

consequential arguments,

but were of genuine con-

cern and empathy towards

the subject matter. Should

I say I never wrote anything

that buttressed prejudice

nor enmity. Of course, as

I am always, matters and

ideas were always inspired

by idealized imageries.

Whatever else I did,

the great spread of mobile

phones and the internet

does not help in getting us

to know each other. Indeed,bigotry and half-baked,

manipulated fact spreads

only faster. As one Nigeri-

an-American writer says,

We are unreconstructed

but our technology is re-

newing itself. In my case,

I just write and spin in an

effort to reach out fans like

Tutz in Afghanistan, Tmar

in New York and Cynthia inNorth Carolina.

The internet technology

has created one global vil-

lage, with each netizen de-

veloped a strong, emotional

narrative of victimhood and

life without the other. In our

heaving cities, where life

is more rushed and stress-

ful than ever, people retreat

into their ats and increas-

ingly segregated enclaves,

divided by economic class.

They may share public and

work places but they usu-

ally remain strangers. Inmy neighborhood, I hardly

know anybody, and the op-

posite is true. This segrega-

tion extends across physical

spaces and religions. The

media ourish but they lo-

calize their programming

faster than ever, further

isolating people across re-

gions.

As I write this, the head-

lines discuss the conten-

tious church opposition

against divorce, the need

for recracker zones come

New Years Day, and of-

cials under suspension for

misdemeanors. All these

however, will forever, be

strangers from another.

Commentary

fr. roy cimagala

Hope amid gloom

have to exert some effort.And that effort is the virtueof hope which in the rst

place is a gift also fromGod. We need to take careof it and cultivate it to itsfullness.

Amid the darkness that

is descending in the worldtoday, a darkness that ischaracterized by false andseductive lights, we needto approach the baby in themanger surrounded by hisadoring mother and fos-ter father, and by the purehearts of simple but privi-

leged shepherds.He is the true light who

can generate hope in usand in the world today that

seems bent in plungingdeeper into the morass ofimmorality, now multiply-ing in cancer-like rate andsupported systematically byall sorts of rationalizations.

We have to go beyondsentimentalism and thefrills with which commer-cialism has shrouded thisevent, and discover the truespirit of Christmas, imbib-ing it as fully as possible.

It shows us the ways ofdivine love, the love meantfor us, the ultimate founda-tion of our hope that dispels

the darkness of the modernlights. It is the Son of God,this helpless infant in themanger, who can truly testand determine the authen-ticity or falsity of the manyideologies presented to ustoday.

He is not afraid to live

with us in any condition

we might nd ourselves in.In fact, we are told that hehas assumed our humanityin its fullness, including inits wounded state now with-out committing any sin, toshow us the way of how tolive in the world of today.

We need to get to knowhim more and more, andfollow his path as closelyas possible. He already toldus that if we want to followhim, we should be will-ing to deny ourselves andto carry the cross. With isgrace and our efforts, lets

be prepared for this.But lets be familiar with

his teaching and his ways.In him, truth and charity

become one, all virtues, allthat are good are happily

blended in him. He is pre-

Remember Harold

Camping predicted May

21 and October 21, both of

year 2011, the world end to

happen, but it never did.

Many are misled be-

cause they do not inves-

tigate carefully the pro-

nouncements of personswhose real motive is for

money. Prophesying is a

good source of money. Un-

wary ones are easily gypped

for failure to gure out the

message conveyed.

Although, we do not ex-

pect that all people can in-

vestigate or study carefully

the statement of another

person, still it is advisable

to do the comprehension.

A persons life cannot be

entrusted from other per-

sons perception. The worldis full of unprincipled per-

sons.

Do not ever think the

prediction is not yet over

because we have not passed

the 24-hour day. That kind

of thinking will not be help-

ful, because if we think that

way, we have to consider

the Western Hemispheres

December 21 will start after

12 midnight here.

In my article World

will not end December 21

of recent December 7, I

wrote: Reading the Holy

Bible in the Book of Mat-

thew Chapter 24, in one of

its verses, states that the

day and the hour of the last

days of this wicked system

of things, even Jesus Christ

while on earth did not know

when.To be precise let me

quote verses 36 to 39, 40,

chapter 24 of Matthew:

Concerning that day and

hour nobody knows, nei-

ther the angels of the heav-

ens nor the Son, but only

the Father. For just as the

days of Noah were, so the

presence of the Son of man

will be. For as they were in

those days before the ood,

eating and drinking, men

marrying and women be-

ing given in marriage, until

the day that Noah entered

into the ark; and they took

no note until the ood came

and swept them all away,

so the presence of the Son

of man will be. xxx Keep

on the watch, therefore,

because YOU do not know

on what day YOUR Lord is

coming.

It was in reply to the

disciples of Christ while he

was sitting at Mount of Ol-

ives in Jerusalem. Tell us,

When will these things be,

and what will be the sign

of your presence and of the

conclusion of the system of

things?

Christ gave the signs

of the conclusion, but

not the day to occur. The

conclusion of the system

of things from the New

World Translation Bible is

another phrase end of the

world written in other Bi-

ble translations.

Any prediction regard-ing the end of the world

giving specic date should

be ignored, because as in

the days of Noah until the

day they entered into the

ark they took no note until

the ood came.

However, be on guard

because the Word of God

will not return to Him un-

fullled. Meaning there is

really an end of the world

to come in the immediate

future. Are you ready to see

the annihilation of wicked-

ness? That end of the world

is the end of wickedness,

not included are those peo-

ple who obey the teach-

ings of Christ. Are you one

of them? If you are one ofthem, raise your head up be-

cause your deliverance is at

hand. (Feedback welcome,

It should be with himwhen we strive to preservethe truth about ourselvesin this world. It should bewith him when we try to

transform the world, puri-fying it of its worldly ethos,defending and protectingit from the subtle ways ofGods enemies, and instill-ing it with Gods spirit ofharmony and peace, joy,

justice, beauty, etc.As we go through the

unavoidable discussion ofissues, lets always be withhim so we may know exact-ly what to say, how to sayand when to say. With him,the doctrines of our faith,the ultimate truths that saveus, cease to be mere abstract

ideas. They acquire life andexert remendous power andwisdom.

But for this, we shouldbe ready to go all the way,the way Christ himselftook. It is the way that leadsto the Cross. Thats whenwe with Christ can draw allmen to God, in the mannerexpressed by Christ him-self: And I, if I be liftedup from the earth, will drawall things to myself. (Jn

barrage of insults, mockery,ridicule that we can receiveas a consequence of our -delity to Christ. In our case,we can deserve ome if notmuch of the dirt thrown atus. But Christ will take it allfor us and with us.

What we have to do isto conduct our discussions,our efforts to proclaim, ex-

plain, and clarify the truthsbehind the issues of ourtimes with consistency,competence and always inclose delity to Christ.

This may look like anugly hand-to-hand combat,

but as long as we are withChrist we can manage to

proclaim and defend thetruth always in charity. Thisis how we can have hope

who showed their opposition

to the RH bill.

I salute them, she said.

The pro-life advocate

said Congress passed the

RH bill using deception and

pressure coming from no

less then Malacanang.

She claimed that huge

amount of money was used

by Malacanang to ensure

that the RH bill would be

approved.

But in an earlier interview,

Rep. Neil Benedict Montejo

of the An Waray party-list

group who voted no for

the passage of the RH bill,

denied that Malacanang

exerted pressure or use

money for them to be

persuaded to cast their voters

in favor of the RH bill.

Acosta said that the RH

bill is anti-life which could

result to the destruction of

human values.

The measure is anti-

life;anti-God and anti-poor.

It is really an attack to our
