a two-day seminar-work-

Palo mayor and Leyte

pre s ident of mayorsleague Remedios Petilla

said that the gathering was

the result of a unied deci-

sion made by LMP presi-

dents in Eastern Visayas

to gather all municipal

mayors in the region for

one event which would

help them in the gover-

nance especially on the

sourcing out funds for

project implementation.

This is a good venue

for mayors to learn and

express what we really

want to learn and imple-

ment to our municipali-ties, Petilla in her speech

said.

There are problems

along the way but if we

will look into what we

can do together then the

problem would be much

easier to solve if we are

all working together, she

added.

Petilla added that said

seminar-workshop would

also allow mayors to look

and share with their fel-

low mayors programs of

best practices that some

municipalities are imple-menting which they can

replicate in their area.

The two-day event

was graced by Hapinoy

Movies in the past portrayed

simple shootouts, like my fa-

Ranger with his American In-

dian sidekick Tonto, and Rin

Tin Tin, a legendary story of an

amazing dog.

Now gory killings shown

in theaters and televisions are

the food for the young brains

thought to be part of the normal

life. Youths conscience is seared

without fear of vengeance, notby relatives of victims, but by

the unseen power in Heaven. For

some criminals there is no God.

The recent killings by the doz-

en are no longer normal. We are

living an abnormal environment.

It is a sign of the fruit of the el-

ders who did not stick to their

Law-abiding citizens shall be deprived with firearm for self-defense.

The present society is a crop of movies depicting violence.

God-given responsibility to

nurture their children.

The fear to be imprison-

ment for a long period in

the penitentiary is removed

after the illegal possession

of rearms penalty was

lowered to shorten Robin

Padillas incarceration. A

co-artist turned Senator Ra-

mon Revilla, Jr., sponsored

the law. Senator Revilla has

a good intent but turned to

a bad effect. It is similar

to the Juvenile Justice and

Welfare Act sponsored by

Senator Francis Kiko

Pangilinan, now becoming

the headache of society.

The Robin Padilla Law

or Revilla Law cut short

the stay in prison of Actor

Padilla. Republic Act No.

8294 reduced the minimum

sentence to six years from

17 years for illegal pos-

session of short rearms,

and to eight years from 21

years for long rearms.Now, because of the

shooting rampage done by

ing seven and wounding12

innocent people using a

Paul Lopez who did the re-

wards poor thieves and those high ranking rob-

bers who pose to grab credit and all rom theprojects made out o peoples taxes.

Most prominent are pictures o chie execu-tives o local governments whose aces are seen

everywhere within their territory. Such practiceis owing to the act that the implementation is

under the local chie executive. Programs and

projects are thereore realized through the nalact o the local chie executive than any o the

other offi cials o the locality. Tis is the reasonwhy all other offi cials who had actually done

their share in realizing a program or project areconcealed in the background o the main play-

ers.

Aside rom the local chie executive however,we ofen see the representative in congress or

the governor and senator who extended undsor the project as also credited in the bannered

project sign, with their equally large pictures

conjugal or amily affair. Te utter shamelessness oclaiming things as i o the amily when in truth are

these politicians whose aces are bannered in largeprint sinages are using taxpayers money or their

projects. Yet they put their pictures with their large

print names to announce as i the project is theirown. But the public does not mind at this practice

as they know too well that the unds behind thoseshameless aces are actually theirs.

Te practice is in essence thievery o the highestorder as it poses claim over a thing not belonging to

THE CLEANSING OF A LEPER

There was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where [Jesus]was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, andsaid, Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean. Jesus stretched outhis hand, touched him, and said, I do will it. Be made clean. And theleprosy left him immediately. Then he ordered him not to tell anyone,but Go, show yoursel f to the pri est and offer for your cleansing whatMoses prescribed; that will be proof for them. The report about himspread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him andto be cured of their ailments, but he would withdraw to deserted placesto pray.

WE CAN OVERCOME

God cannot create evil and so he is not responsible for disease,pain, and dea th. They are simply the natural result of human beingsdisobedience to God. Pain and disease are the outward and visiblefruits of the hidden and unseen disease of evil in human nature. Canwe overcome the world of evil? Yes we can, by faith in Jesus Christ.St. John asks, Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believesthat Jesus is the Son of God (1 Jn 5:51)? To believe in Jesus Christ isto possess him, and to possess him is to possess eternal life God hasgiven him (v. 12). And hence, to possess Christs life is to overcomedeath, and to overcome death is to overcome the world of evil. Leprosyis one kind of evil. But the leper was cured of his disease when hebelieved in Jesus, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean(LK 5:13). But if we want our faith in Jesus to be powerful enough toovercome evil, it has to be practical. We have to give esh and blood tothe teachings of Jesus in our personal life. There are number of wordsin the Scriptures that hint just how practical our faith in Jesus must be.

One word is race. Christian life is compared to a race. This indicatesthat our faith in Jesus has to urge us to be partners with God in buildinga kingdom on earth, as envisaged by Jesus Christ, a kingdom foundedon truth, justice and love.

loading of bullets into the

magazine, some of the law-

makers want to increase the

penalty or ban civilians to

own a gun. The shooting in

Kawit, Cavite, may turn to

something new for rearmownership. Whether a total

gun ban will be enacted will

depend upon the lawmak-

ers.

If the penalty will be

increased for illegal posses-

sion of rearms and another

actor committed the offense

of carrying without license

or permit to carry outside

residence, the lawmakers

who are now with several

colleagues from the lm in-

dustry may merely lower it

once more, could it be pos-

sible?In year 2009, amnesty

to license loose rearms

was held. Many applied for

it, and one of them own-

ing a revolver caliber .22

submitted his for licensing.

However, like him, many

of those who applied nev-

er received their License

Identication Card. So, he

inquired then Ormoc City

Chief of Police Nilo Don-

ayre who replied that even

his is not yet received.

The man forgot all about

it until the announcementthat those expired license

not renewed before the

2012 year ended shall be

subject to criminal prosecu-

tion for illegal possession.

So, sometime in the month

of the recent December he

went to the Ormoc City

Police Ofce and inquired

about the license.

The record was search

by the policewoman in-

charge and nd out there is

no record of receipt. Instead

she looked into the com-

puter. It manifested the Ad-

min Control No. I-F072253

with date of issue 5/6/2010and expiry of 5/6/2011. It is

clear the gun was issued a

license, but not received.

The man went to PNP

regional ofce at Palo,

Leyte, where he was given

the gure of P4,258 for re-

newal. The total amount

On December 31, he de-

City Police Ofce, and re-

ceipt acknowledged by Po-

lice Senior Inspector Rudy

Hiso Conejo Jr., operations

ofcer. He did deposit the

gun to avoid being accused

of illegal possession of

rearms.According to the police-

man in the Firearms and

Explosive Unit, Region 08,

they received the license

identication card, but no-

body claimed for it; hence

it was returned to Camp

Crame. The man during

his application was not in-

formed he has to go to the

said unit at Palo, Leyte.

It is one event in his

life charged to experience,

though for a cost, because

the renewal has a penalty.

The incidents during

the New Year where bullets

killed 2 children and the

deadly random shooting of

8 people in Kawit, Cavite

by a drug-crazed gunman

should push our lawmakers

to revisit our laws on gun

control.

There should be a com-

prehensive regulation of

rearms, ammunitions,

strict requirements for

those applying for guns and

imposing harsher penalties

on the use of unlicensed

rearms.

Civilians should no

longer be given permits to

carry rearms outside their

residence. When this hap-

pens, a lot of lives can be

saved and would have a big

impact on the peace and or-

der situation in the country.

Civilians should keep their

rearms in their homes for

self-defense purpose only.

A gunless society is bet-

ter than one whose citizens

stock rearms out of fear

from lawless elements.

Only members of the mili-

tary and the police should

have rearms in public

places.

There are 800,000 reg-

istered guns and equivalent

number of unregistered

guns in the Philippines.

This means that all the

guns out there are illegal

and could be used for crim-

inal activities.

President Aquino

should support the call for

stricter gun control even

if he is a gun enthusiast.

Gunless Society Founder

Nandy Pacheco has said

the President should cancel

all permits to carry guns

outside homes pending the

approval of a law penaliz-

ing the carrying of rearms

outside residences by un-

authorized persons.

I visited mom last

night and barged into

her room with brother

Mike. The aura just re-

minded me of Grand-

mother Paulita.

Alone in a quitebig house, I reminded

her against leaving the

house all alone by her-

self. That is why daugh-

ter Vida is around, but

ironically occupies one

big room by herself.

Hence, it is only dur-

ing dinner time that the

threesome are together.

I am so glad that

mom has been blessed

with good health. In her

85 years, she has not

been hospitalized forany minor health prob-

lems. But now, I see

another problem. She

is all alone by herself

most of the time, except

when she talks to three

German shepherds who

would just howl when

called in their cages. Of

course Myrna and Albert

are caregivers, but mom

is quite reticent withthem.

Although her sociali-

zation has been reduced,

a certain sadness can be

seen through her deep

set eyes the loss of ac-

tive friendships, includ-

ing religious outings

with friends, visits with

neighbors including

government ofces like

DAR and the DENR. I

check on her regularly,

her breakfast, and her ac-

tivities for the day. I haveyet to coach her what to

do in case of emergency

like earthquakes and re.

The latest was the DAR

assignments I posted on

her wall, lest she forgets.

Mind you, her papers

are organized, complete

with labels, thank you

notes from here andthere, and piles of read

magazine neatly stacked

so I can readily nd what

subscription date I want.

If there is anything I

inherited from moms

unique genetic code, it

is this trait of neatness

and efciency. How

my kids bully me for

my scrupulousness. Her

closet is immaculate,

medicines so secured

and laundry basket nev-

er overows. Also, herplants are never unne-

glected. And I have to

collude with Albert to

smuggle a twig or two

for my personal plant

collections.

If I were moms pri-

mary caregiver, how

relaxing. No pressures,

nor resentments, only

recitals of verses John

Milton, Shakespeare,

Bryant, Emerson and

Robert Frost. A rare,

sweet mom, never incit-

ing riddles and intriguesfrom her siblings. What

a mom! Once more, I

will remind her that be-

ing all alone is not really

a bad idea.
