MANILA -- Govern-ment workers used a back-hoe and an incineratorFriday to crush and burnmore than ve tons osmuggled elephant tusksworth an estimated $10million (P430 million)in the biggest known de-struction o tracked ivo-

ry outside Arica.Te government saidthe destruction o thestockpile, gathered romseizures since 2009, dem-onstrates its commitmentto ghting the illegal ivorytrade.

It also eliminates anyopportunity or corruptocials to resell the ivory,as was the case in 2006when the largest singleshipment o 3.7 tones van-ished rom the inventory,according to an interna-

tional network that tracksthe illegal trade.

Ivory is known to havedisappeared rom a numbero government-held stock-piles worldwide, so it is vi-tal that proper protocols areestablished, said ColmanO Criodain rom the WorldWide Fund or Nature.

Te US Agency or In-ternational Development

and the anti-wildlie tra-cking Freeland Founda-tion said they were assistingthe Philippine governmentin conducting DNA analy-sis o elephant tusks at theCenter or ConservationBiology o the Universityo Washington so that lawenorcement agencies willhave inormation on theorigin and transit points othe smuggled ivory. It willalso help to dismantle crim-inal syndicates responsibleor poaching in Arica.

Tis not only sends amessage to wildlie track-

ers that the Philippine gov-ernment is taking rm ac-tion against the illegal ivorytrade, but also takes a standagainst corruption by burn-ing their ivory stockpile soit cannot be stolen then soldinto the black market, saidSteven Galster, director oBangkok-based Freeland

Foundation.Te Southeast Asian na-

tion has been used as a transitroute between Arica and therest o Asia. Ivory can etch upto $2,000 per kilogram ($910per pound) on the black mar-ket and more than $50,000or an entire tusk.

Te Elephant rade In-ormation System, whichtracks the illegal trade onbehal o the 1989 Conven-tion on International radein Endangered Species, saidthe Philippines is among

nine countries and terri-tories identied as being

most heavily implicated inthe illegal trade. Te othersare Kenya, anzania, SouthArica, Malaysia, Vietnam,Hong Kong, China andTailand.

Te Philippines is a tran-sit point but also is knownor its carving industry pro-ducing religious sculptures

and artiacts.Last year, National Geo-

graphic magazine eaturedan ivory collection alleg-edly belonging to a RomanCatholic priest, MonsignorCristobal Garcia o Cebu,who was suspended in 2012by the Vatican because oa sex abuse case. Te Phil-ippines National Bureauo Investigation has said itwould question Garcia overthe origin o the ivory icons.

Ocer Sixto Comia saidFriday he had not received

any reports on the result othe investigation. (AP)

AS OURISM stake-holders gathered or theourism Congress yes-terday, Cebu Chamber oCommerce and Industry(CCCI) president LitoMaderazo urged those inthe business to put moreemphasis on culture andheritage when develop-ing tourism products.

Maderazo, during theopening ceremonies, alsoasked those in govern-ment to do somethingabout inrastructure, cit-ing problems like traccongestion and foodingas becoming requentproblems.

Maderazo said it isculture and heritagethat makes a destinationunique or tourists.

He urged stakeholdersto sell the Cebu experi-ence and do away with

the usual tours and con-

ventional establishmentsand stores.

Daily Cebu lifeourists, he said,

should be immersed inthe daily lie o Cebuanos.Tey need to experiencewhat we ourselves enjoy inCebu.

He noted that tour-ists should be introduced

to street ood, markets,jeepney rides and the cre-ative things that are beingmade here. Along withthis, he said local and na-tional government unitsshould work to improvecleanliness and peace andorder, bringing the mes-sage down to market ven-dors and jeepney drivers.

During the conerence,the idea o oering clearerhome-stay arrangementswas brought up.

Governor-elect Hilario

Davide III acknowledged

the importance o tourismor Cebus developmentand assured that his ad-ministration will supportlocal government unitsin developing their owntourism programs.

He urged local leadersto highlight heritage intheir own towns and sup-port sustainable local eco-

nomic enterprises. As anexample, he said ownerso historical homes can beencouraged to turn theirhouses into home-stay ac-commodations or cas.

He urged Cebuanos towork hard to get the cov-eted chance to host theprincipal event o the AsiaPacic Economic Coop-eration (Apec) Summitin 2015. With the ApecSummit meetings and theWorld Eucharistic Con-gress to be held in Cebu

in 2016, Davide said Ce-

buanos should grab thechance to take Cebu tour-ism to a new level.

Cebu Vice Gov. AgnesMagpale, who gave thekeynote message, cred-ited the CCCI or comingup with the Suroy-SuroySugbo, saying it was a coregroup that rst brought itup during the Balik Cebu

Program, which welcomedbalikbayans arriving to at-tend the Sinulog Festival.

The Miami Heat is

NBA Champion again. A

Game 6 comeback when it

appeared to be over and a

strong Game 7 victory over

an equally strong team ce-mented a place for Miami

among NBAs great teams

in the company of LA Lak-

ers, Boston Celtics and the

San Antonio Spurs.

The Heat ran off with

its 2nd straight NBA cham-

pionship series. It became

the NBAs first repeat

champion since the Lakers

The Miami Heat

in 2009-2010 and the first

team to beat the Spurs in the

NBA finals.

The San Antonio Spurs

will always remember its a

title they let slip away.The Heat finally re-

pelled the tenacious San

Antonio Spurs, 95-88 and

clinched their 2nd straight

NBA championship.

Miami made it difficult

for San Antonio to hit the

outside shots. They chal-

lenged almost every shot

forcing Danny Green and

Leonard to put the ball on

the floor and face their Mi-

ami defenders.

After their remarkable

come back in Game 6, Mi-

amis confidence was so

high. They knew that the

overtime loss of the Spurs

would drain them. This

was where homecourt ad-

vantage made all the dif-

ference. But the victory of

Miami redound to excellent

teamwork of all the players

especially Lebron James,

Dwayne Wade, Chrish

Bosh, Ray Allen and ShaneBattier.

Congratulations also

Solemnity of the Birth of John the Baptist

Is 49:1-6; Ps 139; Acts 13:22-26; Lk 1:57-66,80

BIRTH OF JOHN

When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child she gave

birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had

shown his great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. When

they came on the eight day to circumcise the child, they were going

to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said in reply

No. He will be called John. But they answered her, There is no

one among your relatives who has this name. So they made signs,

asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tab-

let and wrote, John is his name, and all were amazed. Immediately

his mouth was opened, and his tongue freed, and he spoke blessingGod. Then fear came upon all their neighbors, all these matters were

discussed throughout the hill country of Judea. All who heard these

things took them to heart saying What, then, will this child be? For

surely the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became

strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifesta-

tion to Israel.

BIRTH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST

The greatness of John can be seen in the announcement of his birth

and the event itself, similar to the same occurrences in the life of Jesus.

John attracted countless people to the banks of the Jordan and some

people thought he was the Messiah. But he constantly deferred to Je-

sus, even to the point of sending away some of his followers to become

the first disciples of Jesus. John the Baptist spoke for those who were

suffering. He pointed out the faults, especially of those in power, those

who were in a position to improve and alter things. So genuine was the

man that people went to him in crowds. When they listened they were

cut to the heart. They went down into the Jordan to be cleansed of theirsins and to renew their lives in this world. The Lord himself joined

them and was baptized. John called the people to justice as the basic

foundation for good and peaceful world. The voices of many modern

day followers of John the Baptist call out today. News reporters and

aid workers continue the work of the Baptist, calling us to turn our

hearts in compassion towards each other. (His Word is Life by Vima

Dasan, S.J., published by Paulines. Visit us at www.paulines.ph or at

Paulines Media Center, Real St., Tacloban City, Tel. #321-31-95)

present in our souls in body, blood, soul, and divinity, so in his Truth

he is really with him who carries his Holy Gospel. (Blessed James

Cge la nabubuhi man gihap.

I further learned that he re-

signed from a previous job,

which had a better compen-

sation package, because he

did not like his uniform.

What a lousy excuse.

Ive known a lot of high

school batch mates who

spent fat matriculations

in college. Some of themlavishly spent for more

than what was required (as

flaunted in social network-

ing sites). I come across

them only to learn how

much they are enduring the

volunteer and contractual

life of a laborer. The beer-

and-skittles of their life,

perhaps, came in first and

had been exhausted in col-

lege, compromising prac-

ticality and wisdom over

trend and social receipt.

People across the coun-

try keep on complainingon how little employment

there is for a bulky group of

graduates. Year after year

universities and schools let

their students out theoreti-

cally groomed up and ready

for what the real world of-

fers. To stiffen the compe-

tition, previous graduates

who have failed to find

employment, squeeze in

with the freshies. The gov-

ernment is addressing the

problem by broadening the

list of jobs through overseas

involvement. Pointless tosay, its obviously not ad-

equate.

However, I feel we are

biased. We actually have

jobs. We actually have

places to generate revenue.

We have been unidirection-

al all this time and we have

been casting our stones to

We deserve our stones

our authorities only. For a

fact, we also deserve our

stones.

We need to acquire per-

severance and satisfaction

and we need a nudge in

the rear when we make our

choices. The opportunity

is in plain sight but we re-

fuse to grab it because we

choose to go for something

which can fuel our wants.

More often than not, some

choose to dwell with the

sex, drugs and rock and

roll lifestyle rather than

to put all potentials into

good use. Some do not go

for their dreams; they go

for what their wallets can

materialize and what oth-

ers dream and accept about

them. The administration

has lapses; and yes the edu-

cational system can address

to page 7

There must be a clean-

up of our party- list sys-

tem and it should be done

sooner. Such move would

eliminate groups that are

unnecessary and are only

there to take advantage of

the loopholes of the po-

litical-electoral system in

the country. Paramount

consideration is to preventfamilies and clans from

entering into the system

where other members are

already entrench as district

representatives. So much

for redundant positions and

waste of funds.

It will be noted that

before the 2013 election,

there was clamor by no less

than COMELEC Chairman

Sixto Brillantes to consider

removing certain groups

that do not represent mar-

ginalized sectors. It was

noted that numerous par-ty- list groups do not actu-

ally represent basic sectors,

those that remain voiceless

in our society. One of these

party -lists that became

controversial recently due

to what happened to its

first nominee, Jude Acidre,

SC must reconsider its ruling

on party-list system

is the An Waray party -list.

Congressman Bem Noel

finished his three terms,

only to be succeeded by

his sister if the results of

the elections would war-

rant. There are other party-

lists that are represented

by families and political

parties whose members are

already district representa-tives. It is one ploy of po-

litical families to perpetuate

themselves in power. Ugly

as it may seem, it is as if

these families have found

means to expand their op-

portunities to be in power.

Clearly, political families

find ways to run and get

elected in various positions

all at the same time which a

UP social scientist terms as

horizontal dynasties.

The party- list system

has to undergo a transpar-

ent and honest cleaningoperation. Only legitimate

groups that really represent

the basic sectors must be al-

lowed to register as party

list. Even the membership

of the organizations espe-

cially those that are listed as

nominees (who would later

represent the group as Party

list Representative) must un-

dergo scrutiny. Hiding in the

structure are family members

who are not the right person-

alities to represent the sector.

Most of them are related byblood or affinity. If found to

be relatives of sitting repre-

sentatives, these clan mem-

bers who are under the guise

of party list nominees must

be prohibited or the party list

group they represent must

be disqualified. Clearly, as

members of political clans or

political parties they are not

marginalized and cannot rep-

resent a marginalized group.

The worst scenario is

the possibility that the par-

ty- list system evolved as

need or scapegoat of po-litical wannabes that are

too weak to run right away

as district representatives.

Or, they could be deriva-

tives of political parties.

They could have been orga-

nized to become machinery

groups of those running in

the presidential elections in

2016 and beyond. They use

these groups for financing

and campaigns.

The Supreme Court

decision prior to the May

13 elections that ruled that

non-marginalized groupsand political parties can

take part in party-list elec-

tions must be reconsid-

ered. It is complicating

the political system in the

country. It is being used

as vehicle for circumvent-

ing the law.

ORDERThis is a verified peti-

tion for the cancellation of

cal Civil Registrar of BaybayCity, Leyte, filing this peti-

tion through counsel. Peti-

tioner alleges, among others,

that she is a Filipino citizen,

of legal age, single and a resi-

dent of Brgy. Ciabu, Baybay

City, while respondent Local

Civil Registrar of Baybay

City is a government entity

in-charge of recording and

registering the facts of births,

marriages and deaths in the

City of Baybay, Leyte, and

the National Statistics Of-

fice also a government entity

which in-charge of recording

and registering the facts of

births, marriages and deaths

in the City of Baybay, Leyte,

and the National Statistics

Office also a government

entity which also records all

the facts of births, marriages

and deaths, etc. all over the

born an illegitimate child on

March 12, 1991 in Pulan-

duta, Balud, Masbate whosemother is Nita Lumanas Gon-

tinias and her father is Fred-

die Vargas Opano; that sev-

eral years after her birth, her

family transferred to Baybay,

Leyte; that when petitioners

mother failed to secure a

copy of her birth certificate

from the National Statistics

Office, she applied for a de-

layed registration at the Lo-

cal Civil Registrar of Baybay

City sometime in February

2004 and erroneously stated

therein petitioners place of

birth to be Baybay, Leyte

instead of Pulanduta, Balud,

Masbate and the said registra-

tion was forwarded to the Na-

tional Statistics Office which

bear the same erroneous entry(Annexes A & B); that

when petitioner learned that

erroneous registration, she

informed her father and the

latter applied for delayed reg-

istration of her facts of birth

at the Local Civil Registrar

of Balud, Masbate where an-

other certificate of birth was

issued (Annex C); that at

the moment, petitioner has

two existing registrations of

her facts of birth, thus, there

was a double registration; that

with the recent online comput-

erization sytem of registration

of births in the Philippines,

the second registration of pe-

titioners birth which contains

the correct entries of her birth

is not available at the National

Statistics Office due to the

first registration in Baybay

City; that in order to correct

the mistakes as to the place

of birth of herein petitioner,

the birth certificate issued by

the LCR of Balud, Masbateshould be followed and not

the erroneous registration

made before the LCR of Bay-

bay, City; that to prove that

the place of birth of petitioner

is Balud, Masbate, petitioners

Educational Records, Philip-

pine Passport thereto attached

(Annexes D & E); that

petitioner prays for the cancel-

lation of the birth certificate

issued by the LCR of Baybay

City, Leyte and at the National

most respectfully prayed of

this Honorable Court that

after due notice, publication

and hearing, an order be is-

sued ordering the Local Civil

Leyte to cancel all the entriesin the Civil Registry regarding

the facts of birth of Rugelen

COMPLAINTCOMES NOW plaintiff

through counsel unto this

Honorable Court most re-

spectfully state:

1. That plaintiff is of le-

gal age, Filipino, single and

a resident of Sitio Alimasag,

Brgy. San Jose, Tacloban City,

whereon he may be served

with court processes;

2. That private defen-

dants are of legal age, Fili-

pinos and both are residents

of 609 Pearubia, Binondo,

Manila, whereon they may

be served with summons and

other court processes; while

defendant Register of Deeds

of Tacloban City, is the chief

of office of the Registry of

Deeds of Tacloban City and is

joined herein as party defen-

dant by virtue of the fact that

he is tasked with the duty of

registering documents on real

estates located within his ter-

ritorial jurisdiction;

3. That all parties hereto

have the capacity to sue and

be sued;

4. That plaintiff owns aparcel of residential land situ-

ated at Brgy. San Jose, Taclo-

ban City, which is more par-

ticularly described as follows:

A parcel of land des-

ignated as Lot 1388-C of

the subdivision Psd-08-

010978-D, being a portion

of Lot 1388, Cad. 220 (LRC

Rec. No. 1058), bounded on

the SE., SW, along lines 5-1-

2-3 by Lot 1388-D of this sub-

division, on the NW., along

line 3-4 by Lot 1387, Cad.

220; on the NE., along line

4-5 by Lot 1388-A (Road Lot)

of this subdivision, containing

an area of TWO HUNDRED

SEVENTY FOUR (274)

SQUARE METERS, more

or less, covered by Transfer

Certificate of Title No. 122-2011000326, of the Registry

of Deeds of Tacloban City.

A copy of the said TCT

No. 122-2011000326 is here-

to attached as ANNEX A,

The said property is now cov-

ered by Tax Declaration No.

01513231 and has a market

value of P60,280.00. A copy

of said tax declaration is here-

to attached as ANNEX B;

5. That plaintiff acquired

the said propety through do-

nation from his aunt, Floren-

tina Basiano, a sister of his

mother, per Deed of Dona-

tion dated January 26, 2011,

a copy of which is hereto at-

tached as ANNEX C;

6. That the said FlorentinaBasianos title over the said lot

was TCT No. T-52133, and by

virtue of the donation, it was

cancelled and in lieu thereof,

the afore-mentioned TCT No.

122-2011000326 was issued

in favor of plaintiff. A copy

of the said TCT No. T-52133

is hereto attached as ANNEX

D;

7. That Florentina Basia-

no acquired the lot from her

father, the late Luis Basiano,

through donation as evi-

denced by a Deed of Donation

dated Oct. 26, 1998, a copy of

which is hereto attached as

ANNEX E;

8. That shortly after Flo-

rentina Basiano was able to

obtain a title over the property,defendant Angelina Esperas

Garcia caused the registration

of an AFFIDAVIT OF AD-

VERSE CLAIM dated Oct. 2,

2000 over TCT No. T-52133

and said defendant claims that

she has hereditary rights over

the property covered by it, a

copy of said Affidavit of Ad-

verse Claim is hereto atatched

as ANNEX F;

9. That the said adverse

claim was then carried over to

defendants title, under Entry

No. 2011000614 dated Feb.

25, 2011 and it now operates

to harass him and prevents

him from using the property

in loaning purposes as well as

in putting up a viable business

project thereon, to his detri-

ment and prejudice;10. That the claim of said

defendant is baseless and un-

founded, the fact being that

she is not in anyway related to

the late spouses Mariano Ba-

siano and Rogelia Pretencio,

predecessors-in-interest of the

late Luis Basiano, in regard to

my above-described property;

as in fact, the latter, per his

documents properly registered

before the defendant Registry

of Deeds of Tacloban City was

the true and legal direct heir of

said spouses;

11. That additionally, said

Adverse Claim is infirm and

should not have deserved reg-

istration with the office of de-

fendant Register of Deeds asdefendant did not allege any

muniments of title and neither

did she present proof of her

being an heir;

12. That clear proof of

said adverse claim being one

designed to harass plaintiff

or whosoever may own the

property is the fact that de-

fendant Garcia has not filed

any complaint before a court

of law to enforce her alleged

hereditary rights even up to

this time;

13. That a continued an-

notation of said adverse claim

of defendant Garcia on the ti-

tle of plaintiff albeit the same

is baseless and unfounded cer-

tainly works to the great detri-

ment and prejudice of plain-tiff; hence, the same must be

cancelled and rendered of no

further legal force and effect.

14. That because of the

baseless and whimsical act

of filing said adverse claim

by defendant Garcia, plaintiff

was compelled to hire services

of counsel for which he spent

P20,000.00 as Acceptance Fee

and shall spend the sum of

P1,500.00 as per Court Ap-

pearance Fee.

WHEREFORE, premises

considered, it is most respect-

fully prayed of this Honorable

Court that an Order be issued

directing defendant Register

of Deeds of Tacloban City to

CANCEL and RENDER of no

further legal force and effect

the Adverse Claim annotated

under Entry No. 2011000614

at the back of Transfer Cer-

tificate of Title No. 122-

2011000326 registered in the

name of plaintiff.

Further, it is prayed that

defendant Angelina Esperas

Garcia joined by her spouse be

ordered to re-imburse plaintiff

of the sum of P20,000.00 by

way of Attorneys Fees as well

as all expenses plaintiff shall

have paid as Appearance Fees

as may be shown in evidence.

Plaintiff further prays for

such other relief and remedy

available in the premises.
