by Anthony Taberna ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 962012 ndash Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Un-dersecretary Rico Puno and several police offi cers allegedly tried to enter the condominium unit of DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo in Quezon City last August 19 a day after his plane crashed in Masbate according to sources of ABS-CBN News

Confi dential documents are stored in Robredorsquos condo unit which were later secured by the Department of Justice (DOJ)

Sources said a certain Supt Oliver Tanseco was able to enter the pent-house of the condominium build-ing while Puno and several others waited outside

However the group was not al-lowed to enter the unit by Robredorsquos househelp

Tanseco then called Robredorsquos lawyer to ask permission but the lawyer also turned them down because the group did not have a search warrant

Based on the buildingrsquos security logbook the group composed of Tanseco Puno Sr Supt Joel Pagdi-lao and a certain Apollo Reuben To-ganon arrived at the condominium at 1030 am

Robredorsquos househelp called Robredorsquos wife Atty Maria Leonor ldquoLenirdquo Robredo to inform her of Punorsquos visit

The call was confi rmed by Social Welfare and Development Secretary Dinky Soliman who was beside Atty Leni when she received the call from the househelp

Robredorsquos offi cesThe source said the group also

tried to enter Robredorsquos offi ces at the DILG and at the National Police Commission (Napolcom)

Based on the logbook at Napol-com the group arrived at around 11 am

ldquoNoong pumunta si Usec Puno pinigil kaya tumawag sa akin Hindi naman alam ng guwardiya kung bakit nagpunta doon si Usec Punordquo said Napolcom vice chair Eduardo Escueta

Securing the documentsThe source said the incident

prompted President Aquino to secure documents stored inside the offi ces of Robredo

The DOJ then secured the clas-sifi ed documents kept by Robredo inside his condo unit

Justice Secretary Leila de Lima earlier said she personally picked up the ldquopersonal and offi cial docu-mentsrdquo per the request of Robredorsquos wife

ldquoHe handles many documents

Cayetano started the period of amendments after Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III wrapped up his controversial four-part ldquoturno en contrardquo speech on the bill

To allay fears the RH bill will promote abortion Cayetano deleted lines paragraph (i) of Section 3 which states ldquoWhile this Act does not amend the penal law on abortion the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post-abortion complications shall be treated and counseled in a humane non-judgmen-tal and compassionate mannerrdquo

rdquoIn lieu thereof insert a new subsection (j) which shall read as follows (J) Abortion is a criminal act in accordance with existing lawsrdquo Cayetano said

Cayetano also inserted a new sub-section which reads as follows ldquoAll complications arising from pregnancy labor and delivery shall be treated in a humane and compassionate man-nerrdquo

rdquoFilipinos are known to espouse a culture of kindness and empathy We uphold the tradition of reaching out and extending genuine care and concern for our countrymen in need more so for women who are pregnant and in need of special carerdquo she said

The lady senator also changed the title of Section 6 of the bill from ldquoProvision of Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Carerdquo to ldquoHealth Care Facilitiesrdquo where the local govern-ment units shall ensure the upgrad-ing of the hospitals and other related facilities with adequate personnel

President Benigno S Aquino III said in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) last July that he is hoping that the ldquoResponsible Parenthoodrdquo measure would fi nally solve the backlog in the countryrsquos public school system

The bill aims to construct at least one public or private hospital or four health facilities for every 500000 population

In response to critics that the RH bill promotes contraceptives as es-sential medicines Cayetano amended the title of Section 9 deleting the ldquoas essential medicinesrdquo

rdquoThus the title of Section 9 as amended shall now read as follows ldquoSection 9 The Philippine Drug Na-tional Formulary System and Family Planning Suppliesrdquo Cayetano said

In the same Section 9 Cayetano also inserted the sentence ldquoThe Philippine National Drug Formulary System (PNDFS) shall be observed selecting drugs including family supplies that will be included or removed from the essential drugs list (EDL) in accordance with existing practicerdquo

In Section 16 Cayetano also inserted the phrase ldquoeducation and information materials to be developed and disseminated for this purpose shall be reviewed regularly to ensure

their effectiveness and relevancerdquoAside from Cayetano other

senators who have already expressed interest to introduce amendments to the proposed bill are Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Senate Major-ity Leader Vicente Sotto III

Both Enrile and Sotto openly expressed opposition to the passage of the bill which they said aims to control the population of the country

Sotto stressed in his ldquoturno en con-trardquo speech that the country needs to create another law that would protect maternal health saying there are already 23 laws administrative orders and presidential decrees that address the reproductive health concerns specifi cally among women and their children

Recently Senator Panfi lo Lacson said at least 14 senators will sup-port the RH bill one of the priority measures of the Aquino administra-tion - PNA

It also reported that two bridges in Eastern Samar particu-larly the Buyayawan Bridge in Mercedes town and the Barangay Casuroy Bridge in San Julian town were partially damaged

The Philippine Institute of Volcanol-ogy and Seismology (Phivolcs) said that the quake struck 112 kilometers southeast of Guian Samar The quake which was tectonic in origin took place at 847 pm

It initially measured the quake at magnitude 77 and lowered it to mag-nitude 76 in updated bulletin

NAGA CITY Philippines ndash Lawyer Leni Robredo says that at present she is ldquo200 percentrdquo certain she will not run for senator in the 2013 elections despite a growing clamor for her to run under the Liberal Party the party of her late husband DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo

ldquoMaybe if it is the only way to keep my husbandrsquos legacy aliverdquo she told The STAR in an exclusive interview at the Avenue Hotel in this city ldquoBut over the years I have always been a fi rm be-liever that one does not have a monopo-ly of good intentions or capabilitiesrdquo

Leni says not even a million signa-tures urging her to run for senator will change her mind because she believes that unlike Corazon Aquino (who was the commencement speaker when she graduated from the School of Econom-ics at the University of the Philippines-Diliman in 1987) in the snap polls of 1986 she is not the unifying factor in the senatorial elections of 2013

ldquoBesides I feel like I will just be capitalizing on my husbandrsquos popularity if I run for offi cerdquo she added

Leni has retained the composure that won admiration for her in the aftermath her husbandrsquos plane crash But her eyes welled up when she revealed that just yesterday she received a sealed brown envelope addressed to her Over the tape that sealed the envelope was Jesse Robredorsquos signature

In it was a piece of paper detailing all of Jessersquos bank accounts and insurance policies

ldquoThat was Jesse a planner and a pro-vider till the endrdquo says Leni

Leni believes her husbandrsquos death was an accident and is consoled by what she saw when she viewed his remains in the body bag

ldquoHe was in a seating position his arms resting as if on arm rests not crossed in front his upper body I have a feeling he didnrsquot realize they were going to crash because he already saw the runway according to his aiderdquo

She is grateful for being in the short-list for regional trial court judge of the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC)

ldquoJesse and I thought that if I get ap-pointed and eventually decide to transfer to Manila it would be easier to request for a transfer I have been waiting for the JBC shortlist for a long time I submitted my application August of 2011 and I was interviewed last Feb 22 It is just unfortunate that when the list came out Jess was no longer around to celebrate with merdquo

She says she will endorse and cam-paign for the Liberal Party candidates in Naga that she knew her husband approved of

Jesses widow 200 sure

she wont run (Continued on page 22)

Perspectives

Our children grow up in a different world than we did

Every day every minute with ev-ery newscast or article we canrsquot help but notice how the world constantly changes around us Now change for changersquos sake isnrsquot always good and there is a lot of bad change as well as good But itrsquos just that trying to adapt to it ndash or help others adapt that can be so diffi cult

This now leads me to a question how would you like to be a child in

todayrsquos world What must it be like to be 6 7 8 9 10 12 years old and have to worry about all the things kids have to worry about today

So what do kids have to worry about in this day and age Well letrsquos seehellip

Just a few things to worry about

1 Ship captains apparently not paying attention

2 AIDS

3 SARS3 War 4 Violence on television5 Violence in schools6 Violence in playgrounds7 Violence in sports8 Violence in the home9 Drugs10 Being shot while riding in a

car (why should a child EVER have to worry about being shot Why should a childrsquos parents EVER have to worry about their kids being shot Why in the hell is it so necessary for the US to manufacture so many handguns and rifl es and offer them to the public It really is time to rationally consider ban-ning guns)

11 Kidnapping12 Sexual abuse 13 Pregnancy14 Cancer from any number of

things 15 New school exams compe-

tency exams exam after exam after exam so one political party can be seen trying to make our schools bet-ter and thereby claim votes Note our schools are good but they canrsquot do the job of parents and families Get off your rear end and help your child your nephew your niece your grandchild Donrsquot make the job of overseeing your childrsquos education someone elsersquos responsibility

16 Having an un-crowded school (yes schools cost money ndash so does having an uneducated untrained population)

17 Getting into college18 Paying for college19 Getting a college degree that

will enable them to actually get a job20 Getting a meaningful job21 Getting a job22 Getting a job23 Getting a job24 Getting another job because

careers rarely last a lifetime25 Going back to college to get up

to date on technology and up to date on their career

26 Technology technology tech-nology technology ndash itrsquos both good and bad and wersquoll have to help our

kids learn to use it responsibly (so they donrsquot unknowingly communi-cate with a predator over-spend or use it is any number of other anti-social ways) Does your child have a cell phone Why Why not Does shehe need one for safety

27 Having both parents around28 Having a parent or for that

matter having anyone around29 Being able to retire at a good

age or being able to retire at all

30 A So-cial Security offi ce that still has funds for their retire-ment

31 Own-ing a nice house

32 Own-ing any kind of house

33 Paying for the starter house that costs more than $400000

34 Global warming ndash and yes it does exist ndash even rabid out of control conservatives are fi nally admitting it (please understand that Irsquom not bad-mouthing conservatives ndash just those who think that the US should be how television portrayed it in the 1950rsquos ndash mostly white and run by men It was horrible then and returning to that is unthinkable ndash wersquore better than that now)

35 Pollution everywhere around the city the state the nation the planet We have to get it under con-trol or it will bury us

36 H1N1 virus37 What will the distant future

hold38 What will tomorrow hold

Now yes I realize that most if not all of those things are also worries that we adults carry with us on a daily basis But here is the impor-tant thing most of those are worries that only adults should have not our children How sad that we worry about guns when dropping children off at school how even sadder that they have to worry about it

We need to do a better job of being the adult being the grown up being the mature one Hey we just need to do a better job

Children

My barber asked his friend who was attending the Republican National Convention ldquoHow is the platformrdquo His friendrsquos answer was ldquoWell-carpeted and fully vacu-umedrdquo

Of course the real intention was to fi nd out the details of the Republican Partyrsquos platform ndash the fundamental set of ideas policies and proposed programs that the party envisions to accomplish when given the opportu-nity to govern

However experience shows that party platforms are seldom read and actually disregarded This seems to be true in many democratic countries that follow the republican presiden-tial system

In the last Presidential elections in the Philippines I endorsed Benigno Aquino III to be president I read his partyrsquos platform but I knew that it would be ignored so I disregarded it This is what I wrote as his platform instead ldquoOn the reforms needed to satisfy the E-Generation he has a built-in Platform of Government It is a product of the People Power rev-olution written by wise men person-ally chosen by CORY and approved ratifi ed and therefore co-owned by the Filipino people It is clear brief and concise It is executable en-

forceable mandatory and supreme It is backed by implementing stat-utes adhering legislation accompa-nying executive orders regulations and jurisprudence It is protected and defended by the Armed Forces and police agencies as well as adhered to by every executive legislative and judicial offi cer It is the CORY CONSTITUTION

Others are encouraged to adopt it too but at this point of our history the best person trusted to execute enforce obey protect and defend it is Coryrsquos son NOYNOYrdquo Surely it is understood that the aforemen-tioned Platform of Government is something that cannot be ignored

The truth is every Chief Executive once he takes his oath of offi ce is mandated to execute enforce obey protect and defend the Constitution together with all the laws regula-tions executive orders and jurispru-dence This is true for the elected President of the United States as well Of course he hopes that work-ing with the new Congress laws that he wants passed and implemented would be included in this mandated platform

Party Conventions happen They are traditional events that expose rising political stars They are really what we call ldquoINFOMERCIALSrdquo Each party is given several hours daily for several days of free TV radio print and now social media to promote its presidential candidate select Senatorial and Congressional candidates and others I am with-holding my assessment on how effective the INFOMERCIALS were until both conventions-are fi nished

I will also wait for the debates to assess the chances of the candidates in becoming President of the United States However there is one cause that attracted my attention as I read about the two conventions The most signifi cant issue which both parties agree on is jobs andor job genera-tion

Gary Spiro is the president and CEO of the Consumer Electronic Association (CEA) that owns and manages the annual International CES held in Las Vegas Nevada I have been attending CES every year and correspondingly listening to Gary Spiro as he opens the very successful event Attending the Republican and Democratic National Conventions he and the Innovation Movement are promoting a ldquoCom-mon Cause for Both Partiesrdquo I sup-port the cause and also decided to join the Innovation Movement

Spiro says ldquoWe have to think economically not politically about building a future for our countryrdquo He is pushing for what he calls ldquostra-tegic immigrationrdquo He supports the changes proposed by Rep Zoe Lof-gren (D-Calif) ldquowhich would allow US companies to attract and retain immigrants with degrees in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) fi elds and create a new green card for foreign-born entrepre-neurs who begin startups and create jobsrdquo Spiro also likes the proposal of Rep Darrel Issa (R-Calif) to reform the Immigration and Nation-ality Act ldquoto eliminate the Diversity Immigrant Program and reallocate those visas (about 55000 a year) to immigrants with advanced degreesrdquo

The legislation (S 3217) intro-duced by Sens Marco Rubio (R-Fla) Chris Coons (D-Del) Jerry Moran (R-Kan) and Mark Warner (D-Va) would give foreign investors and certain highly educated students a streamlined path to citizenship In his article Gary Spiro wrote that a study found that 84 percent of pat-ents had a foreign-born inventor

He also cited that in the equally critical healthcare sector 79 percent of patents for pharmaceutical drugs or drug compounds were invented or co-invented by someone foreign-born Outside of Irsquos like Infl ation and Interest rates for economic concerns and Israel protection as a foreign issue Innovation is being proposed as a center-piece for job creation

Cause That Both Parties Could Support

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philip-pines 8272012 - Jesse Robredo may be gone but his spirit lives on

Thus declared agriculturist Romulo Davide who like Robredo is a recipient of the Ramon Magsaysay (RM) Award

Davide is the lone Filipino in the 2012 batch of RM awardees Robredo was cited by the RM Foundation in 2000

ldquoYung kanyang shoes mahirap tala-gang fi ll up-in iyan but yang shoes na iyan ay indication footprints It gives you an examplehellipitrsquos just like what President (Ramon) Magsaysay did He may die personally but his spirit and ideas will never dierdquo he told ABS-CBN

The agriculturist said Robredorsquos mis-sion of good governance is unfi nished He said there are more Jesse Robredos out there waiting to be discovered

He also drew parallelisms between Robredo and the Philippine leader who inspired the award President Ramon Magsaysay

ldquoPalagay ko marami iyan di pa lang natuklasan Bata pa yung mga yon on the road to greatness Kanya kanya yan gen-eration President Magsaysay 54 years ago inumpisahan niya as man of masses community development man of action Secretary Robredo did it Maybe other people will continue itrdquo

Davide said Robredorsquos style of gover-nance is something all local executives should emulate

ldquoRobredo started sa Naga City pobre mass-based in pagpatakbo ng gobyerno Dapat sila mauna Eto kay President Magsaysay he had on ideals how to serve poor people they shouldnrsquot remain poor If you make poor people progress yayaman ang bayanrdquo

Davide said reformation of local governments should start with the mayors He noted that Robredo did not like absentee mayors especially since he also served as mayor of Naga City for 18 years

ldquoAyaw niya nga absentee mayors Gusto niya na yoursquore with the people Governor or mayor service to the people kaya kita mo example niya sa Naga City napaunlad ng hustordquo he said

The RM awardee said the love shown towards the departed Robredo should challenge other offi cials to carry on with his good work

More Jesse Robredos waiting to be discovered

In its website the RM Foundation cited Davide for ldquohis steadfast passion in placing the power and discipline of science in the hands of farmers in the Philippines who have consequently multiplied their yields created produc-tive farming communities and rediscov-ered the dignity of their laborrdquo

While he may have never met Ro-bredo Davide said he feels for his goal of alleviating poverty by improving the lives of the masses by dealing with the masses himself Davide said the poor will not stay poor with leaders like Robredo

ldquoMagsasaka for example di mana-tiling pobre paano sila makaahon sa kahirapan Magagawa iyan sa magan-dang paraan kita mo naman hersquos a man of action Kasi oriented siya sa masa so pagnanduon siya sa mga farmers tala-gang he feels these are the people worth serving forrdquo

RM Awardees are billed as the ldquoNew Heroes of Asia ldquo according to its web-site

Davide is the lone Filipino in the 2012 batch of RM awardees The six 2012 Magsaysay awardees join 290 other laureates who have received Asiarsquos high-est honor to date This yearrsquos Magsay-say Award winners will each receive a certifi cate a medallion bearing the likeness of the late President and a cash prize They will be formally conferred the Magsaysay Award during Presenta-tion Ceremonies to be held on 31 August 2012 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC)

by Fat Reyes Inquirernet | MANILA Philippines 8302012 ndash United States Ambassador to the Philippines Harry Thomas Jr on Wednesday said that amid countriesrsquo territorial disputes over areas in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) the US would remain fi rm to its commitment under its Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) ties with the Philippines and its plan to reposition its military forces in the Asia Pacifi c region

ldquoRising tensions is in no onersquos interest but as Secretary Hillary Clinton has stated we are a Pacifi c nation the United States we stand by our Mutual Defense Treatyrdquo Thomas said

Speaking at the at a Makati Business Clubrsquos (MBC) general membership meeting on the topic The Signifi cance of the Philippines ndash United States Alliance in a Volatile Pacifi c Region Thomas said ldquoWe have made a re-balance or re-pivot to ASIA on all sides and that will continuerdquo

Thomas in his speech and in inter-views with reporters at the sidelines of the meet reiterated the United Statesrsquo position of having peaceful resolutions to the disputes in accor-dance with international law

He added that the West Philippine Sea issue was something that the US worked out on a daily business with concerned Philippine government offi cials but that they called on all nation states to ldquosit and decide on things at the negotiating tablerdquo

ldquoWe donrsquot want to further escalate tensions we want peaceful resolution of tensions but we want all countries to live up to their agreements and that is why we support the Code of Conduct between China and Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Na-tions) We think this is a better way to resolve thisrdquo Thomas said

Tensions in the West Philippine Sea internationally known as South China Sea have been rising in the recent months with countriesrsquo con-

testing their claims over the area and China deploying its ships around the Scarborough Shoal

Apart from China the Philippines Brunei Malaysia and Vietnam and Taiwan claim parts of the sea

Manila has been pushing for dip-lomatic legal and political solution to the dispute which began when maritime authorities caught Chinese fi shermen reportedly poaching in the disputed waters

China claims sovereignty over nearly all of the West Philippine Sea which is believed to sit atop vast amounts of oil and gas is one of the regionrsquos most important fi shing grounds and is home to shipping lanes that are vital to global trade

Asked about the specifi cs of the US plan to rebuild its forces in Asia in relation to assistance to the Philippines Thomas said that they were looking for a ldquobalancerdquo in the relationship not only focusing on military plans but also beefi ng up efforts for humanitarian assistance disaster mitigation efforts and eco-nomic investment

He however said that in terms of equipment they wersquore bringing the second cutter the Dallas to the Phil-ippines in about six to eight months He said that Filipino sailors were already training on manning the ship

Thomas also said that he would be heading to Puerto Princesa Palawan Thursday to donate the last of the six ships the US had been providing to the Philippine National Police (PNP) to help the agency capture smug-glers

He said that the White House would also be sending a team to the country next week to meet Filipino offi cials and engage sectors in efforts to combat human traffi cking

He said he was also pleased that members of other Asean were also stepping up to assist the Philippines militarily across a broad range espe-cially in disaster and humanitarian

Thomas US remains fi rm in commitment to defense treaty

IMMIGRATION 911 by Atty Susan V Perez

Maria a Mexican citizen came to

me for legal advice Her US citizen husband Barry had filed a divorce and her legal permanent residence card is expiring in two months They were married for less than two (2) years when Maria became a legal resident of the United States Barry does not want to help her obtain her permanent resident green card I asked Maria if Barry was abusive to her Her response was ldquonot reallyrdquo

I asked her to describe Barry as a husband She said Barry was very possessive and controlling She wonrsquot let her get hold of their contract of lease utility bills and other documents that are important to her immigration case For this reason she has very little documents to prove good faith marriage Barry wonrsquot let her work she cannot have her own friends and she cannot go grocery shopping without him There was some physical abuse but not enough to make a 911 call As Maria was narrating her ordeal I realized she was not aware she was a victim of domestic violence Like the rainbow domestic violence has many colors Domestic violence is not limited to broken bones bruises and scars

Emotional abuse is often ignored and undetected because it leaves no visible trails Most of my clients who need help with their conditional resident status as spouse of US citizens were victims of emotional abuse but they did not realize it until they spoke with me They did not know that our immigration laws protect them from abusive relation-ships In this article we will discuss extreme cruelty as a form of abuse

and what legal options they have under our immigration laws

Foreign nationals who obtain immigration status through mar-riage to a US citizen or LPR are granted conditional resident status if the marriage is less than two (2) years old at the time the residence is granted During the 90 days preced-ing the expiration of the temporary green card the foreign national and sponsoring US citizen spouse are required to take steps to make the conditional status permanent This is generally accomplished by jointly filing a petition to remove the condi-tions on residence However if the marriage falls apart during the two-year conditional residence it may be necessary for the foreign national to file a waiver of the requirement that both spouses sign the petition

There are four types of waivers available for the foreign national spouse and one of them is extreme cruelty by the US citizen or LPR spouse A conditional resident spouse can file a waiver if it can be shown that the marriage was entered into in good faith but he or she was subject to extreme cruelty by the US citizen spouse or LPR during the marriage If the waiver is not available because there was no I-130 petition filed by the US citizen or LPR spouse the foreign national can file his or her own petition under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) The VAWA immigration provisions benefit not only women but husbands and children as well Yes VAWA is open to both genders but the vast majority of victims are women The foreign national can file a VAWA petition even if the mar-riage ended in divorce so long as there was a connection between the divorce and domestic violence The law also requires that the petition is filed within two years from the termination of the marriage

The one million dollar question is What is extremely cruelty and how do I prove it While the law pro-vides that the foreign national must have been the subject of extreme cruelty during the marriage it does not provide an exhaustive list of acts that constitute ldquoextreme crueltyrdquo According to our immigration regu-lations the definition is flexible that includes but is not limited to threats of violence forceful detention psychological abuse sexual abuse exploitation rape molestation incest (if the victim is a minor) and forced prostitution Other abusive acts that are not violent may also be acts of ldquoextreme crueltyrdquo under certain circumstances Examples of nonviolent acts that if part of an overall pattern may constitute extreme cruelty are social isolation of the victim accusations of infidel-ity threats of deportation or other

kinds of threats incessantly calling not allowing the victim to get a job degrading the victim and inter-rogating the victim her family and friends and humiliating the victim in front of her friends and relatives Whether a foreign nationalrsquos experi-ence constitutes extreme cruelty mainly depends on the facts of his or her case taking into account their personal history vulnerabilities or past experiences with abuse Marital tensions and incompatibilities which cause severe strains on a marriage and in fact may be the reason of the marriage breakdown do not by them-selves constitute extreme cruelty

Unlike physical abuse extreme cruelty is hard to prove Most of the time acts of extremely cruelty are not reported to police or medical personnel and they happen within the confine of their own homes with-out witnesses It is extremely impor-tant that the victim can recount the details of each act of extreme cruelty such as the date time place if it happened at home which part of the house how long did it last how did the victim feel about the incident what happened after the incident did the victim leave the house if the victim spoke with a friend of relative give his or her name address and phone number did things go back to normal after the incident

How the victim felt after the abuse is also very important Corroborat-ing evidence from professionals such as therapist medical staff or domestic violence counselor will make the foreign nationalrsquos declara-tion credible Since USCIS will merely rely on documents when ad-judicating VAWA or waiver cases it is extremely important that evidence and declarations are well prepared and presented

We welcome your feedback If you have any immigration questions please feel welcome to email me at HYPERLINK ldquomailtosusanlaw-usimmigrationcomrdquo susanlaw-usimmigrationcom or call 619 819 -8648 to arrange for a telephone consultation

Authorrsquos note August 21 1983 Exiled Senator Benigno ldquoNinoyrdquo Aquino the charismatic opposition leader arrives at the Manila International Airport to a returning herorsquos welcome Escorted by government soldiers Ninoy is shot to death as he steps on the tarmachellip Kumander Gusi watches video clips of the assassination in a hospital He is recovering from wounds sustained during an encounter with commandos of the Philippine Constabu-lary led by Lt Col Sulog Years earlier Gusi was the newly-ordained and affable Father George Madrid whose social justice work among oppressed farm workers (sacadas) in the parish of Santa Lucia eventually led to his defection to the Communist Party of the Philippines In short order the rebel priest had risen to the rank of commander of the dreaded New Peoplersquos Army Injured and on the run from Sulogrsquos men Gusi is attended to by rebel physician Dr Fred Delima The NPA commander undergoes emergency surgery in a jungle hideout Critically ill he reminisceshellip


tista was celebrated at least seventy years ago Very few except for the townrsquos bea-tas had attended much less remembered the event

It was diffi cult to contain his emo-tions As he stood behind the pulpit to read the Gospel of St Mark and to deliver his fi rst homily his heart pounded his temples throbbed his hands shook his knees felt weak Everyone in the crowd looked at him looked up to himhelliphis parents his teachers his elders the throng of local students and well-wishers from out of town Just about everyone in the crowd would line up after Mass to pay homage and greet their newly ordained priest He would soon be standing in front of a long line of people ndash some would hold his hands in reverence most everyone would kiss his anointed palms some would cry in speechless joy (his mother his godmother his aunt for sure)

others would simply express their admiration with words with their eyeshellipWas he worthy of this adula-tion Was he not a human being like everyone else subject to the same weaknesses of the fl esh tempted by the same demons vulnerable to the same vices

ldquoItrsquos not you ndash itrsquos Christ in yourdquo he heard the voice of Fr Hernandez

ldquoKumanderkumander rdquo the urgent voice snatched him from his reveries ldquoWersquove got to go Nowrdquo

Before he could get his bearings powerful arms yanked him and transferred him to a stretcher The hard edge hit his thigh and he felt a searing jolt

ldquoThey are catching up to us Ku-manderrdquo said another

ldquoA Special Forces unit was spot-ted down the hill sirrdquo yet another voice He recognized the heavy ac-cent of Tacio his bodyguard

ldquoWhere are we going What time is itrdquo he asked feebly

Someone responded but the jeeprsquos engine roared ferociously and drowned everything else though he did hear the sound of distant

gunshots It was too dark to see anything

There was a big commotion behind them He was on the run again Life was back to normal

Notes1 Canta Misa ndash literally ldquoSung

Massrdquo in Spanish In thanksgiv-ing with family and friends newly ordained priests formally celebrated their fi rst solemn Mass (High Mass or Sung Mass) in the parish church where the priest was baptized or re-ceived his fi rst communion or where his family had its ancestral roots It was cause for the entire town or bar-rio to celebrate in grand style much like its annual fi esta Most if not all seminarians attended the event in fellowship with the newly ordained hoping to one day follow in his footsteps The Canta Misa usually coincided with the fi rst weeks of summer vacation which made it dou-bly raucous in a good way

2 Beatas ndash Spanish literally meaning blessed or holy women Refers to elderly women mostly widows who attend church services every day and spend their character-istically contemplative lives attend-ing church related activities

moved to have Roxas con-fi rmed immediately in the next hearing

Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III chairman of the committee on interior and local government of the CA told the panel that Roxas re-quested over the phone last Tuesday that the hearing on his confi rmation be rescheduled from Sept12 to 19

Sotto said Roxas requested for a rescheduling because the new DILG

Mar Roxas(Continued from page 1)

chief wanted fi rst to wrap up his work at the Department of Transpor-tation and Communication before assuming the DILG post

With the hearing reset to Sept 19 the notice and publication require-ments may no longer apply Roxasrsquo appointment to the top DILG post as replacement of Jesse Robredo came less than a week ago Robredo died in a plane crash last Aug18

It was Sen Panfi lo Lacson who moved to fast track the confi rmation process for Roxas

ldquoMaybe we can schedule the confi rmation hearing of Secretary Mar Roxas because the agency he is about to head is a very important sensitive agency Crime rate is fast rising at least in Metro Manila and we need somebody on the saddle right awayrdquo Lacson said during yes-terdayrsquos plenary session of the CA

ldquoMy proposal is to waive the requirements of publication and schedule him in the next hearing (of the CA)rdquo Lacson said

Lacsonrsquos manifestation led other lawmakers to raise proposals for a suspension of CA rules in Roxasrsquos case including foregoing the publi-cation requirements and suspending all the rules on confi rming appoint-ments

Nueva Ecija Rep Rodolfo An-tonino even proposed that Roxas be confi rmed right away even in absentia

ldquoPerhaps this may be a precedent we do not want to do I leave it to the body I propose to suspend all the rules that would have to do with the confi rmation of Secretary Mar Roxas and I would move in this plenary session that Mar Roxas be confi rmed as secretary in plenary today even in absentia because we have done that before so that tomor-row he can take his oath of offi ce as Secretary of DILGrdquo Antonino said

Maguindanao Rep Simeon Da-tumanong seconded the motion of Antonino but this was not consid-ered because of concerns raised by other CA members

Sen Joker Arroyo said the pro-posal of Antonino would take away one of the most important aspects of the confi rmation process which is to notify the nation of the appointment and give everyone an opportunity to challenge such appointment

ldquoThere are certain aspects that we would not have the power to abdicate which is notice We cannot agree among ourselves to con-fi rm We have to satisfy the notice because that is a notice to everyone else that if there is anyone who may object they can objectrdquo Arroyo said

ldquoBut we cannot foreclose much as we are eager to confi rm his confi r-mation by acclamation but still the public cannot be deprived of the right to know and to opposerdquo he added Enrile agreed

ldquoThe chair must be cautious here because the institution may suffer they might think that we are unduly favoringhellip a tayo-tayo system is coming to play Can we just give it one week so that the institution and the process will not be compro-misedrdquo Enrile said

on important matters We need to conduct inventory and preserve the records and documents in the offi ce of Sec Jesse including those in his condominium We need to know what these documents are because wersquore sure these are sensitive re-cordsrdquo de Lima told reporters last month

De Lima did not say what the documents are noting only that they are ldquosensitive recordsrdquo

The source said Puno and several offi cials of the Philippine National Police are the subjects of an investi-gation being conducted by Robredo prior to the crash

Two weeks before the crash Robredo allegedly informed the President of the investigation

ABS-CBN News tried to get the side of Puno regarding the matter but he declined

By Alexis Romero Home | MA-NILA Philippines 962012 - A United States (US) submarine is expected to dock in Subic on Friday four days after another US military ship made a port call in the area

USS Hawaii a Virginia-class submarine was scheduled to arrive in Subic Bay for a routine port call and goodwill visit a media advi-sory from the US Embassy said on Thursday

The US Embassy said the visit ldquohighlights the strong historic com-munity and military connections between the United States and the Republic of the Philippinesrdquo

ldquoThe USS Hawaii will pull along-side the USS Frank Cable an LY Spear class submarine tender that arrived in Subic Bay on Mondayrdquo the US Embassy said

Navy spokesman Col Omar Ton-say said the ship will dock in Subic until September 12 He said the US sought permission to dock last July 31

USS Hawaii is commissioned on May 5 2007

The website of the Commander Submarine Force US Pacifi c Fleet said USS Hawaii is manned by 132-member crew that can launch Tomahawk land-attack missiles and advanced capability torpedoes

ldquoHawaii will be able to attack targets ashore with highly accurate Tomahawk cruise missiles and con-duct covert long-term surveillance of land areas littoral waters or other sea forcesrdquo the website read

The submarine is also capable of conducting anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare special forces delivery and support and mine delivery and minefi eld mapping

ldquoWith enhanced communica-tions connectivity Hawaii also will provide important battle group and joint task force support with full integration into carrier battle group operationsrdquo the website read

ldquoThe Virginia-class of attack sub-marines surpasses the performance of any current projected threat submarine ensuring US undersea dominance well into the next cen-

turyrdquo it addedUSS Hawaii is the fi fth US ship

to dock in Subic since Washington bared plans to increase its presence in the Asia Pacifi c last January

The fi rst US vessel to arrive this year is the USS North Carolina which docked in May This was fol-lowed by USS Louisville a nuclear-powered vessel that made a port call in Subic last June 25

Eight days later hospital ship USNS Mercy docked in the area to replenish its supplies

The fourth ship USS Frank Cable arrived in Subic last Monday for a 12-day visit USS Frank Cable is an LY Spear class submarine tender used to carry vital military supplies

Offi cials have repeatedly clarifi ed that the port calls were not related to the territorial row over the West Philippine Sea which is being claimed in whole by China a coun-try perceived to be a rival of the US

The Philippines is claiming several islets shoals reefs and sandbars in the Spratly Group of Islands in the West Philippine Sea Its neighbors Vietnam Malaysia Brunei and Taiwan also have overlapping claims in the area

The US said it is not taking sides on the dispute but cited the need to settle the disputes peacefully

Pero ang nakakaintriga na interview ni Ate Vi sa DZRH nang magsumbong si Tita Swarding na binato raw siya noon ni Nora Aunor ng Drumstick buti na lang daw at nakailag siya kundi bulag na siguro siyaIsa rin ito sa dahilan at kung bakit dati siyang Noranian at kay Vilma na siya ngayonpagtatanggol pa ni Tita Swarding

Nagalit raw sa kanya si Nora kaya raw siya binato nito ng drumstickDapat linawin ni Ate Guy tungkol sa kwentong ito na nakakasira sa kanyang personali-dad ayon sa asal niyaAbangan na lang natin kung anuman ang paliwanag dito ng Superstar

ALMA MORENO MAY INIIN-DANG SAKIT Napapaiyak si Alma Moreno nang sabihin niya na may sakit siya ngayon noong 1990 pa ito na-diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis ang tawag dito wala pa raw lunas sa sakit na itoSinirsira nito ang nerve cell utak at spinal chord hanggang sa manghihina ang katawan nito mahihirapan ito lumu-nok problema sa paninginpaggalaw at pagsasalita apektado na kasi ang lahat ng muscles ng katawan

Hindi pa alam kung anu ang sanhi ng ganitong sakit pero maliwanag wala pa rin lunas o anumang gamot na puedeng magremedyo sa ganitong sakit

Maswerte pa rin daw siya at mahal siya ng diyos dahil hanggang ngayon wala pa rin daw siya nararamdaman na sakit pero handa siyang sumailalim kung anumang remedyo o gamot na puedeng

Jokes of the Week Little Jack was inordinately proud of the big round badge that his father had brought from the auto-mobile show It had a picture of a famous automobile on one side and a motto in large golden letters on the other So fond of the badge was little Jack that one morning he wore it to Sunday school The pastor walked down among the ldquoscholarsrdquo The badge on the little boyrsquos coat caught his eye ldquoAh my son what have you thererdquo

ldquoThatrsquos my golden textrdquo answered Jack eagerly beaming like a Chessy catldquoYour golden text Thatrsquos very nice indeed And what does it sayrdquo Little Jack held it up for inspection The pastorrsquos fatherly smile did not disappear but you might say it stiff-ened as he read Jackrsquos golden text ldquoAinrsquot it hell to be poorrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Isaiah 35 4-7 Through poetic and concrete language Isaiah communicates a vision of a new and faithful community The Hebrew people have allowed social division to grow in their community It was a failure of their calling to be Godrsquos people living in justice and righteousness To the victims of

injustices the prophet offers Godrsquos word of hope Second Reading James 2 1-5 The author encourages all followers of Christ to treat everyone equally and indiscriminately Faith is incompatible with discrimination and favoritism To discriminate against the poor who have no human resources is against the whole Torah To favor the oppressive rich over the poor is against the Hebrew tradition (Deuteronomy 1 16-17 16 18-20 Leviticus 19 15) Gospel Mark

We are All Poor in Spirit

Praying Rightby Michael Brown SpiritDaily

com 942012 -- In a little-known but Church-approved set of mes-sages from the Blessed Mother at San Nicolradicdegs Argentina were these interesting words ldquoDaughter pride is a very serious sin and like all sins is the work of Satan Pride is evil against which I fi ght I invite all my children to banish it to bury it and they will please Godrdquo That was on June 23 1986 and reveals secrets to us -- one of which is the reason we so frequently have trouble fi nd-ing peace in our lives Pride is not just an imperfection It is serious We are told in Scripture that God gives ldquopeace to those who fi nd His favorrdquo (Luke 214) at the same time that He ldquoresists the proudrdquo (James 46) as Mary at San Nicolradicdegs is saying Our time is the Era of Pride and Celebrity and Egocentricity We have pride in our clothes We have pride in our cars We have pride in our homes We have pride in our ed-ucation We have pride in our work We have pride in our achievements (when nothing is a real achievement but through God) We have pride sometimes in our spirituality we are proud that we donrsquot have pride

Crucial it isnotdagger to pray with the heart to rid yourself of hidden ar-rogance and celebrate God not self or others which is idolatry When we are proud we judge instead of praying in a fashion that has ef-fects which is not with struggle or irritation or impatience or anger or reluctance but for the subject of your concern to remove and lose whatev-er bad negative or sinful traits and habits are causing the blocks and resistance If a person is greedy pray that the person removes this inclina-tion toward selfi shness If a person is critical pray that this person is drained of that spirit of criticality See it If a person is himself haughty pray that he loses that haughtiness or your prayers will bounce off It is a very great plague in our time

The Blessed Mother said ldquoThe world is condemning itself Truth comes and is not heard there is great confusion in souls All humanity is contaminatedrdquo Be humble Until we remove the log in our own eyes we are confused and donrsquot have the humility to pray that others be humble or lose whatever nullifi es the effects of prayer When a person is contaminated we feel it and it may perturb or aggravate and as a result we often neglect to pray in the right way for the person due to resistance and yet must do just that pray to remove this contamination instead of butting up against it and focus-ing on the insult or haughtiness or aggravation See it -- any bad thing -- fl owing out of a person Here you will fi nd peace Here you will feel love In this way can you bless your enemies -- with the heart (which exceeds the mind) Peace will come Grace is your relief If someone is bothering you pray for them in the correct manner -- that is for them to be delivered pray for not against You need them We are in it together and should seek to rise as inter-wound rings of light It is when we focus on the negativity of a person and donrsquot pray to remove it that we ourselves resist a person and thus prayers are not effective as oil does not mix with water because there is impermeability and resistance Think of how many people you have tried to pray for and found diffi culty in doing so and now during Mass go back and pray that they be delivered and healed of whatever it was that blocked your previous (imperfect) prayers

Powerful it is to say ldquoI ask You Lord to bless everyone for whom I should have prayed in a proper manner and grant them benefi t as if I had done so please Lord through a miracle of the Holy Spiritrdquo

When you do this and feel no pride you are imitating Jesus

and human alternatives to poverty The option for the poor should be everyonersquos responsibility the rich who protect their own vested interest at the expense of the poor and the poor themselves who lack the initiative to rise out of their misery

There are two important themes that are central to the Catholic social teaching One is a particular concern for the poor the marginalized the oppressed and the powerless and a strong denunciation of the system that keeps them under such condi-tions The other is an advocacy for certain personal rights against collective forces Though many radicals (who are against the marginalization of the poor and propose drastic change in society) and liberals (who champion personal rights and individual-ism) could fi nd a common ground with the Churchrsquos teachings yet there are impor-tant differences among them Though the Church criticizes unjust social structures yet she still favors stability and order in so-ciety Though the Church defends personal rights against the Statersquos suppression and curtailment of those rights yet she is very selective in her choice of those rights spe-cifi cally the right to own private property

In this concern for the materially poor the Church is also reminded that her min-istry should also be concerned with those who are materially rich but spiritually poor Marie-Dominique Chenu wrote ldquoThe ecclesiological signifi cance of this broader perception of lsquopovertyrsquo is of enormous importance for it allows us to overcome an overly confi ned perception of where the efforts of the Church need to be directed today I am not saying that Jesus was not on the side of the poor I am saying he was also on the side of those among the materi-ally rich who were nevertheless numbered among those who were lsquopoor in spiritrsquo and that the efforts of the Church must be directed toward those as wellrdquo

Todayrsquos scriptural readings clearly stress the preference of God for the poor the blind the deaf the lame the tongue-tied and the unclean Isaiah announced Godrsquos preference for the poor and Jesus realized that option throughout his ministry The author of the letter of James further cautioned the Christians not to show partiality and favoritism in their dealings with the rich because Godrsquos Kingdom is universal and for all

Quotation of the Week ldquoIt is a good thing to have money and it is a good thing to have the things that money will buy It is good too to check up once in a while and make sure you havenrsquot lost the things that money canrsquot buyrdquo George Horace Lorimer

ANAHEIM Calif (CNS) -- In addition to the usual teen and chil-drens programs and the expected selection of workshops on such top-ics as the power of God and healing relationships the 41st annual Catho-lic Renewal Convention sponsored by Southern California Renewal Communities offered a look into the reality of evil in the world today But the conference workshops focus-ing on exorcism and deliverance ministry were a far cry from the sensationalistic Hollywood versions of exorcism that have hit the silver screen recently

Its not all about high drama said Father Gary Thomas exorcist for the

Diocese of San Jose and the subject of the book (and fi lm of the same name) The Rite

The sense of the horrifi c is not at the heart of exorcism healing is at the heart of exorcism he said The Aug 31-Sept 2 gathering at the Anaheim Convention Center featured two tracks on exorcism -- general and pastoral

Father Thomas -- also the pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Sara-toga Calif -- said 80 percent of the people he meets with to discern whether they have a demonic attach-

Charismatic conference in California includes two tracks on exorcism

APPLEThe iPhone still rules So does the IPAD

According to Apple Inc it sold 26 million iP-hones last quarter 28 more than last yearrsquos There were also 17 million IPADs sold an 84 increase a quarterly record

The patent rights case that resulted in a billion dollar ruling in favor of Apple and against Samsung devices that utilizes the An-droid OS further reinforces Applersquos current frontrunner status

On September 12 2012 Apple will launch the iPhone 5 and a new iPod The launching of the IPAD Mini sometime later will follow it We expect that these new devices would generate more sales and would again increase the Apple stock price and should let the company maintain its lead

GOOGLEGoogle Inc which owns and pushes the

Android OS to compete against Applersquos IOS has not given up On the contrary with the purchase of Motorola with its several patents are determined to go after Apple in the battle for the smart phone and tablet markets

On September 5 2012 Motorola will be unveiling the DROID RAZR M 4G LTE Of course the Intel-powered DROID RAZR HD will be in Verizonrsquos Fall lineup Motorola jointly with Verizon will launch it on September 18 2012

Unbeknownst to many there was ac-tually a win for Samsung in the patent case with Apple In 2011 there was an injunction against the Samsung Galaxy 101 Tablet in the United States In the patent case the jury ruled that there was no patent infringement by Samsung in its Galaxy tablet This is why you now see aggressive advertising marketing and selling of the tablet

MICROSOFTThe other aggressive firm that both

Apple and Google should really worry about in the smart phone and tablet wars is Microsoft with its Windows Operat-ing System

While it is true that Samsung as smart phone and tablet manufacturer would be affected by the patent rights ruling in the United States pending

its appeal it is now aggressive in pursuing its tie-up with Microsoft

Recently it launched a new family of SmartPCs tablets and smartphones called ATIV based on Windows 8 and Windows RT and Windows Phone for the new smartphone line ATIV brand is the reverse spelling of VITA which is Latin for ldquoLiferdquo signifying Samsungrsquos pledge to ldquomake everyonersquos life extraordinary with excitementrdquo The devices launched were the 101 ndash inch ATIV Tab the 48 ndash inch ATIV S (smartphone) the 116 ndash inch Smart PC and the 116 ndash inch Smart PC Pro

NOKIANokia is formerly the largest cell

smart phone manufacturer and distributor worldwide In fact I still have 4 working Nokia phones that are based on the Symbian Operating system The assumption is that it

knows how to sell and still has access to the worldwide distribution network for smart phones

Nokiarsquos decision to give up the Symbian OS in favor of Microsoftrsquos Windows OS for its very powerful smart phone is indeed a major shot at regaining the market share that Apple Google and Samsung took from it

On September 5 2012 Nokia and Micro-soft will be launching together the Lumia 920 and smaller Lumia 820 that will run on the latest Windows Phone (8) Operating System Both hopes that outside of its current 100000 apps that are available more devel-

opers would create applications that could compete with Apple and Androidrsquos 500000 apps

BLACKBERRYResearch in Mo-

tion (RIM) does not want to be forgot-ten It continues its drive to have its Blackberry devices as an alternative to the others In a press release it will launch its new Blackberry 10 OS sometime in 2013 and correspond-ingly debut six new smartphone devices that will be powered

by the QNX-backed OSSONY Sony has proven skills in video

games cameras and audio players It expects to draw from such skills in developing smartphones and tablet computers It intends to catch Apple and Samsung in this race in the future

Sonyrsquos entry into the smartphone and tablet wars is its Xperia brand for both devices

Excitement is in the air Competition whether we call it battle or war is good for the consumers It breeds innovation encour-ages creativity and of course brings down prices

Health Care Law Helps

Strengthen Medi-Cal

ldquoCommunity First Choicerdquo program helps States to provide home and community-based services to enrollees with disabilities

California will be the fi rst State in the country to receive new Medicaid dollars under the Affordable Care Act to provide community-based personal attendant services and supports to ben-efi ciaries as an alternative to nursing facility and other institutional services according to an announcement made today by the Centers for Medicare amp Medicaid Services (CMS) Acting Ad-ministrator Marilyn Tavenner

ldquoThanks to the Affordable Care Act seniors and persons with disabilities in California will have better options that will help them get the care they need in their own homes and communities rather than institutions like a nurs-ing homerdquo said Acting Administrator Tavenner

The ldquoCommunity First Choice Optionrdquo was established under the Affordable Care Act and is a new State plan option under Medicaid It allows States to provide home and community-based attendant services to certain Medicaid enrollees who require an institutional level of care States choosing to participate in this option receive a 6 percentage point increase in their federal medical assistance percentage for expenditures related to this option California will receive an estimated $258 million for the fi rst year of implementation and $315 million for the second year The increased funding is available as long as the option is included as a benefi t in the Statersquos Med-icaid program known as Medi-Cal

Community First Choice ensures that each benefi ciary has a person-centered plan that refl ects the individualrsquos choic-es and preferences about how services and supports are provided to achieve or maintain independence

August 16 2012 ndash All US baby boomers should get a one-time test for the hepatitis C virus ac-cording to fi nal recommendations published today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) One in 30 baby boomers has been infected with hepatitis C and most donrsquot know it The baby boomer generation are those born from 1945 through 1965 who are currently between 47 and 67 years old Hepatitis C causes serious liver diseases including liver cancer (the fastest-rising cause of cancer-related deaths) and is the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States

Industry and community mem-bers of the CDC Foundations Viral Hepatitis Action Coalition (Coali-tion) applaud CDCs efforts to pro-tect people from hepatitis C through expanded testing The Coalition is a public-private partnership devel-oped by the CDC Foundation to help CDC make meaningful advances in the prevention screening and treat-ment of viral hepatitis

The Viral Hepatitis Action Coali-tion has produced a video stories project Faces of Hepatitis to sup-port CDCs efforts to raise aware-ness about the disease and who is at risk In line with CDCs new testing recommendations the videos show stories of baby boomers with hepati-tis C Many are unsure of how they were infected with the virus Faces of Hepatitis helps illustrate that viral hepatitis is not just one story or face or voice but many

Members of the Coalition have also helped CDC launch Know More Hepatitis CDCs multimedia cam-paign to educate healthcare provid-ers and baby boomers about the new testing recommendations As part of the campaign CDC developed an online risk assessment tool to help people determine their risk for viral hepatitis Know More Hepatitis post-ers fact sheets and digital media tools are available online wwwcdcgovknowmorehepatitis

In addition to education activi-

ties members of the Coalition have provided grants to the CDC Founda-tion to support CDC-led hepatitis research projects A groundbreaking study called the Chronic Hepati-tis Cohort Study (CHeCS) is the largest observational cohort study of persons in care for viral hepatitis in the US Through the multi-year study CDC monitors more than 10000 HCV infected patients to learn more about disease progres-sion clinical management practices and the impact of care and treatment on patients health Moving forward CDC will use data from the study to evaluate the health impact of the new testing recommendations and to inform future testing care and treat-ment guidelines to ensure that more persons living with viral hepatitis get the help they need

According to CDC risk-based screening will continue to be im-portant but is not suffi cient alone More than 2 million US baby boomers are infected with hepatitis C ndash accounting for more than 75 percent of all American adults living with the virus Studies show that many baby boomers were infected with the virus decades ago do not perceive themselves to be at risk and have never been screened

CDC estimates one-time hepatitis C testing of baby boomers could identify more than 800000 addi-tional people with hepatitis C And with newly available therapies that can cure up to 75 percent of infec-tions expanded testing ndash along with linkage to appropriate care and treatment ndash would prevent the costly consequences of liver cancer and other chronic liver diseases and save more than 120000 lives

(In the last chapters Noel explains why he became an activist argues with Nanay Conching stating the Yuletide is vanishing because prices of products and services are becom-ing more expensive)

Chapter 9 - Conching

ldquoLina pass more of the rice to Noelrdquo Conching said ldquoHis plate is almost empty againrdquo

Everyone around the table laughed Even Noel did

Lina who sat beside Noel picked up the bowl in front of her and passed it to him He gingerly shov-eled a mound unto his plate which still teemed with adobo and lumpia

Conching mused as Noel grappled at the food like he had not eaten for weeks

Oh Well she said to herself He had always been like that That is why he is so fat

And she wondered how he could be an aktibista how he could be a komunista how he could be a rebolusyonaryo How will he live in the mountains He will starve there

She does like Noel for he could be fun to be talking with given all his crazy ideas Plus his parents are infl uential in the community besides them being her clients in various items she sells them But would she continue liking Noel now that he ap-pears to have become a komunista

Conching hates communists She hates them because they hate her God To them religion is an opiate that makes people forget their prob-lems What problems Everyone has problems You cannot solve them without believing in God

The greatest problem of the world

now is communism Those Reds want to take over the world They use the young kids make them rebel against their parents make them drug addicts They sow wars which she hates

Yet she might still have to like war

Conching glanced at Julius His military cadet bearing made his pac-ing in feeding himself in a rhythmic fashion

Conching does hate war but when it comes to Julius she has to like wars that he could be engaging in If we donrsquot have fi ne offi cers who will defend our country against invaders against komunistas who are already within our midst We need offi cers like Julius who will defend the motherland to fi ght against evil to fi ght for Godrsquos sake

Nonetheless Conching hates wars really Why should people have to kill each other War is waged by those who suffer early senility whose brains are eaten up wrested off feelings of sympathy blind to the sufferings of men War is a game for those who had unhappy childhood deprived of time unable to play to their heartsrsquo content They now continue to play play with the lives of men that they may die ndash all in the name of glory power

Glory and power for whoNobody wins a war Even vic-

tors lose blood of their own kindred spilled over the vanquished

But Conching could like war that Julius could be waging against the communists Julius could be avenging her husband He died in the hands of komunistas during the Korean War

With tiny wrinkles and cries He entered the world Wrapped in strips of cloth He took His fi rst nap on a bed of straw Subject to time and parents He grew to manhood in Roman-occupied Palestine His gentle hands becoming strong and calloused in Josephrsquos wood-working shop

As a man He walked through the countryside and city touching individu-als preaching to crowds and training 12 men to carry on His work At every step He was hounded by those seeking to rid the world of His infl uence

Finally falsely accused and tried He was condemned to a disgraceful execution by foreign hands He was spat upon cursed pierced and hanged on the cross for all to see Jesus the Son of God gave His life so all might live

But He is coming back At Godrsquos appointed time the risen and ascended Lord Jesus will burst into the world scene once more ndash resplendent in glory not like a meek lamb but a triumphal King

In a major prophecy before His death Jesus listed signs to look for that would precede His return and the end of this present age of man They read much like todayrsquos headlines religious confu-sion and deception wars and rumors of wars ethnic unrest famines diseases epidemics earthquakes other natural disasters and more Ultimately Jesus said these horrors will build to a cre-scendo in a time of ldquogreat tribulationrdquo so dangerous and devastating that without Godrsquos intervention humanity would face extinction

Those who love Him will rejoice greeting their Savior with hearts over-fl owing into songs of praise But His enemies will be fi lled with fear Allied with Satan the enemies of Christ will marshal their legions against Christ and His armies

But who can withstand Godrsquos

wrath Christ will win the battle and reign victorious and forever

What I have described leads us to the last book of the Holy Bible the Revelation Revelation is written in apocalyptic form a type of Jewish literature which uses symbolic imagery to give warning and hope to believers to reveal the events that will happen when the present age as we know it will end

The apostle John wrote Revela-tion from Patmos in about AD 95 to the seven churches in Asia at that time Most scholars believe that the seven churches of Asia were experiencing the persecution which took place under Emperor Domitian in AD 90-95 The Roman authorities had exiled John to the island of Patmos off the coast of Asia

While there John had a vision of the glorifi ed Christ God revealed to the apostle what is to take place in the future ndash judgment and the ultimate triumph of God over evil God is sovereign He is greater than any power in the universe He is not to be compared with any lead-er government or religion He controls history for the purpose of uniting true believers in loving fellowship with Him

Revelation is a book of hope One day God will create a new heaven and a new earth All believers will live with Him forever in perfect peace and security Those who have already died will be raised to life These promises for the future bring hope to a seemingly hopeless world

John the beloved apostle and eyewitness of Jesus proclaims that our Lord will surely return to vindicate the righteous and judge the wicked One day Godrsquos anger toward sin will be fully and completely unleashed Satan will be defeated with all of his agents False religion will be destroyed

But Revelation is also a book of warning Things are not as they should be in the churches so Christ calls them to live in righteousness This warning is not only for the seven churches of Asia during that time but also those of us in

The Future Revealed

the present Remember churches are not buildings but people

Although Jesus gave this revela-tion of Himself to John over 2000 years ago it still stands as a warning to Godrsquos people today We can take heart as we understand Johnrsquos vision of hope ndash Christ will return to rescue His people and settle accounts with all who defy Him

Revelation closes human history as Genesis the fi rst book of the Bible opened it ndash in Paradise With one distinct difference evil is gone forever ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

The Wounded Healer

Nobody escapes being wounded

We all are wounded people whether physically emotionally mentally or spiritually The main question is not How can we hide our wounds so we dont have to be embarrassed but How can we put our wounded-ness in the service of others When our wounds cease to be a source of shame and become a source of healing we have become wounded healers

Jesus is Gods wounded healer through his wounds we are healed Jesus suffering and death brought joy and life His humiliation brought glory his rejection brought a community of love As follow-ers of Jesus we can also allow our wounds to bring healing to others

76 Quake(Continued from page 2)

The PTWC lifted the alert two hours after the quake struck

The PTWC said that based on sea level readings the earthquake gener-ated a tsunami

ldquoThis tsunami may have been destructive along coastlines of the region near the earthquake epicen-terrdquo the center said ldquoThis center will continue to monitor sea level gauges nearest the region and report of any additional tsunami wave activityrdquo

The PTWC said that ldquowhen no major waves are observed for two hours after the estimated time of arrival or damaging waves have not occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume the threat is passedrdquo

At 9 pm Phivolcs issued a tsunami alert level 3 in coastal areas fronting the Pacifi c Ocean particularly the provinces of Northern Samar Eastern Samar Leyte Southern Leyte Su-rigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur

Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas announced over microblogging site Twitter that the tsunami warning alert was lifted at 1210 am Saturday

Phivolcs chief Renato Solidum said that thetsunami warning was sup-posed to have been lifted at 1047 pm or two hours after the earth-quake but they decided to extend it after detecting tsunamis as high as 19 centimeters in Surigao provinces

Solidum said that there were no reported damages from the tsunamis as of midnight

Ramos said that local government units in provinces covered by the tsunami warning alert were able to immediately evacuate residents living along coastal areas

Solidum said that the hundreds of families that evacuated can already return to their homes

ldquoIyong mga nagsilikas ay puwde nang bumalik Tingnan nila ang mga babalikang bahay ay lsquodi nasira Kailangan tingnan at i-assist ang mga lumikasrdquo Solidum announced in a press briefi ng after lifting the tsunami alert - with AP

54-Day Rosary Novena To Our Lady The Immac-ulate Conception Patroness of our Country for

the Election of November 6 2012

St Paul said to pray ldquofor all in authority that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity

This is good and pleasing to God our savior who wills

everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truthrdquo (1 Timothy 21-4)

The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in Indiana to Sister Mildred in 1956 and identified herself as ldquoOur Lady of America The Immaculate Virginrdquo She asked for purity and promised peace and protection if we responded to her requests

The following novena corresponds to the request However to this day the final condition of the private revelation -- the enthronement of the image in the Basilica of the Immacu-late Conception in Washington DC -- has yet to be fulfilled

Day OneOur Lady of America you asked

that the United States of America ldquobe the country dedicated to my purityrdquo and that your children in America ldquobe the children of my Pure Heartrdquo

Please intercede for us that we may be granted this grace and morally good leaders who will act accord-ing to the revealed will of God and the foundational principles of the Declaration of Independence and the

Constitution of the United States of America

Day Two Our Lady of America you said ldquoI desire through my children

of America to further the cause of faith and purity among peoples and nations Let them come to me with confidence and simplicity and I their Mother will teach them to become pure like to my Heart that their own hearts may be more pleasing to the Heart of my Sonrdquo

Please intercede for us that we may be granted this grace and morally good leaders who will act accord-ing to the revealed will of God and the foundational principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America

Day Three Our Lady of America you said ldquoWhat I ask have asked and will

continue to ask is reformation of life There must be sanctification from

within I will work my miracles of grace only in those who ask for them and empty their souls of the love and attachment to sin and all that is displeasing to my Sonrdquo


Day Four

Novena to Our Lady of AmericaOur Lady of America you said ldquoMy dear children either you will

do as I desire and reform your lives or God Himself will need to cleanse you in the fires of untold punishment You must be prepared to receive His great gift of peacerdquo


Day Five Our Lady of America you said ldquoIt

is the wish of my Son that fathers and mothers strive to imitate me and my chaste spouse in our holy life at Naza-reth We practiced the simple virtues of family life Jesus our Son being the center of all our love and activity The Holy Trinity dwelt with us in a manner far surpassing anything that can ever be imagined For ours was the earthly paradise where once again God walked among menrdquo

ldquoThe Divine Trinity will dwell in your midst only if you are faithful in practicing the virtues of our life at Nazareth Then you also my chil-dren you also will become another paradise God will then walk among you and you will have peacerdquo

Please intercede for us that we may be granted this grace and morally good leaders who will act accord-ing to the revealed will of God and the foundational principles of the

Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America

Day Six Our Lady of America you asked

your beloved sons the priests ldquoto practice self-denial and penance in a special manner because it is you who must lead my children in the way of peace

Thus by sanctification from within you you will become a bright and burning light to the faithful who look to you for help and guidancerdquo


Day Seven Our Lady of America you asked

that the youth of our nation be the leaders of a movement of renewal on the face of the earth

You asked that they be prepared by instilling into them not only the knowledge of the Divine Indwelling but a serious study of it living it in such a way that the Divine Presence becomes as it were an intimate and necessary part of their life and daily living

From this will flow a great love a conflagration that will envelop the world in the flames of Divine Char-ityrdquo


Day Eight Our Lady of America you said that

those who wear your medal ldquowith great faith and fervent devotion to you will receive the grace of intense

purity of heart and the particular love of the Holy Virgin and her Divine Sonrdquo

You also said lsquoSinners will receive the grace of repentance and the spiri-tual strength to live as true children of Mary As in life so in death this blessed medal will be as a shield to protect them against the evil spirits and St Michael himself will be at their side to allay their fears at the final hourrdquo


Day Nine Our Lady of America you asked

that a statue be made in your image and placed after being solemnly car-ried in procession in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC You said that you wished to be honored there in a special way as Our Lady of America the Immaculate Virgin You promised that the placement of your statue in the Shrine would be a special safeguard for our country


(The following prayer is said each day after the above prayer is com-pleted)

Prayer of Sister Mildred to Our Lady of America

O Immaculate Mother Queen of our Country open our hearts our homes and our Land to the coming of Jesus your Divine Son

With Him reign over us O heavenly Lady so pure and so bright with the radiance of Godrsquos light shining in and about you

Be our Leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself in union with Him from that same Savior Who loves us with infinite charity

We gather about you O chaste and holy Mother Virgin Immacu-late Patroness of our beloved Land determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that would make all the world an abyss of evil without God and with-out your loving maternal care

We consecrate our hearts our homes our Land to your Most Pure Heart O great Queen that the king-dom of your Son our Redeemer and our God may be firmly established in us We ask no special sign of you sweet Mother for we believe in your great love for us and we place in you our entire confidence We promise to honor you by faith love and the purity of our lives according to your desire Reign over us then O Virgin Immaculate with your Son Jesus Christ May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever en-throned and glorified among us

Use us your children of America as your instruments in bringing

peace among men and nations Work your miracles of grace in us so that we may be a glory to the

Blessed Trinity Who created re-deemed and sanctifies us

May your valiant Spouse St Jo-seph with the holy Angels and Saints assist you and us in ldquorenewing the face of the earthrdquo

Then when our work is over come Holy Immaculate Mother and as our Victorious Queen lead us to the eter-nal kingdom where your Son reigns forever as King Amen

Our FatherHail Mary and Glory Be

By thy holy and Immaculate Con-ception O Mary deliver us from evil

Note On October 5 1956 Sister Mildred felt a sudden urge to write the aforementioned prayer to Our Lady of America as the Patroness of our land

Although she did not hear any words the thoughts came into her mind with such profundity that she could not stop until the beautiful Prayer to Our Lady of America Pa-troness of Our Land was finished

THE FIAT OF THE ETERNAL FATHER

say every morningMy Beloved Father Thy will be

done on earth as it is in Heaven Be Thou my Father Be always my Eternal Father Do not leave my soul Do not abandon me Do not leave me out of Your sight my Fatherfor I am Your child whom You have created to please You to adore You to honor You living my days as You have given me the license to live it (I offer up this Fiat through Mary to Jesus to You Eternal Father]

ldquoDay after day my children say that in your mind That will be the way you will say your FIAT to your Father And I your Father will open My arms like this (and He stretched out his arms) and I everyday will gather you in My arms and I will hold you and I will rock you as your BELOVED MOTHER (Blessed Mother) rocks each baby in her arms For yes you are My children Remember the FIAT of each day as you live As you do this from the beginning of the day I promise you My children I guar-antee you I will cover you in My arms I will send you My angel s with St Michael to protect you and all the saints of your baptisms and of your devotions to be with you during the day to guide you and assist you I promise you you will feel the power of My great LOVE for you that I will send you day in and day out But you have to offer me - everyday - as you get up in the morning - that FIATrdquo -- Maryrsquos Call 12400 Olive bull Kansas City MO 64146 816-942-9783 bull Fax 816-942-4313 bull raymc777yahoocom

The Human Beast German Expressionism

at The San Diego Museum of Art

Featuring nine paintings on loan from the Museo Thys-

sen-Bornemisza

San Diego Calif- The Human Beast German Expressionism at The San Diego Museum of Art highlights the recent bequest of 48 German Expres-sionist paintings watercolors drawings and prints from the Estate of Vance E Kondon and Elisabeth Giesberger and will also feature nine oil paintings on loan from the Museo Thyssen-Borne-misza in Madrid Spain Accompanied by additional works from the Museumrsquos permanent collection and private loans The Human Beast will display a total of 84 works

The exhibition dedicated to the mod-ernist movement that developed in Ger-many and Austria in the early twentieth century will offer a broad survey of German Expressionism Expressionism was not the work of a single closely associated group of artists but rather it is a movement associated with painters sculptors and printmakers in Berlin Dresden Munich and Vienna who were united by common interests and artistic styles Together they created art that explored themes such as primitiv-ism raw emotion the solace of nature the terror of the First World War and the social chaos of Weimar Germany Depictions of unidealized nudes and prostitution are likewise typical of the Expressionistsrsquo attempt to evoke primal emotion The Human Beast will explore the complexity of these themes

ldquoWe recognize this movement among the most relevant of the past century It is with great pride that we receive this loan from the Museo Thyssen-Borne-misza such a prominent international institutionrdquo says Roxana Velasquez Maruja Baldwin Director of The San Diego Museum of Art ldquoWith the ad-dition of the nine oils the exhibition tells a comprehensive story of German Expressionism The exhibition truly refl ects the soul and spirit of human beings as they navigated the emotions and questioned the social movements surrounding World War Irdquo

Works of art on loan from the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza include paint-ings by George Grosz Egon Schiele and Wassily Kandinsky among oth-ers Major new acquisitions from the Kondon-Giesberger bequest include paintings by Otto Dix Gabriele Muumlnter and Max Pechstein as well as water-colors and drawings by Gustav Klimt Egon Schiele Ernst Kirchner and Emil Nolde These join a strong group of Ex-pressionist paintings and drawings that have long been at the Museum among which works by Alexei Jawlensky Gabriele Muumlnter Max Beckmann and George Grosz are particularly notable

Medical Missions To The Philippines

May DisappearBY CESAR D CANDARI MD

FCAP EMERITUS HENDERSON NEVADA

FOR A NUMBER OF years before and after my retirement I joined

groups of medical missionar-ies to the Philippines From 1987 (after the People Power Revolution) to the present I participated to help the poor people in our country who needed medical care In some instances I was a leader in this project The medical mis-sion was the vanguard human-itarian endeavor of any Fili-pino medical and civic orga-nizations It showed no limits in their dedication kindness sympathy charity and genu-ine love for the poor people in our homeland Looking back at my accomplishments thus far I felt intense pleasure from knowing that I have touched many lives

The June 21 2012 Republic Act No 8981 declared that the Philippine Professional Regulatory Commis-sion (PRC) has recently issued regulations for issuing temporary permits for the conduct of humani-tarian missions by foreign medical professionals in the Philippines This law will negatively impact all medi-cal missions in the country There are requirements regarding fees administrative civil penal sanctions liability malpractice insurance that unquestionably have a nefarious impact to Fil-Am doctors nurses and dentists from foreign countries who conduct medical missions to the Philippines We are infuriated about this arcane change of heart in our Motherland I maybe wrong but it is a blatant inanity that the PRC in our country are imposing unwarranted regulations

As a result of this unilateral PRC decision several missionary groups have cancelled their forthcoming Medical Mission projects to the Phil-ippines We feel we are unwanted We are being subjected to superfl u-ous administrative civil criminal and malpractice liabilities because of the unnecessary requirements We do not wish to be subjected to unscru-pulousfrivolous medical lawsuits in

our humanitarian medical services to the Philippines The PRC offi ce stated the regulations would be strongly implemented this year

We are really hurt and feel the frustrations if not disgruntled by our

inability to render assistance to our poor kababayans We pray that a waiver by the President of the Philippines to these PRC regulations must be instituted

This is of particular interest to us - a Filipino American doctor in this

country who volunteer our ser-vices A popular word of wisdom says ldquoEvery good act is charity A mans true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellowsrdquo

We have relentlessly done our calling for humanitarian medical ser-vices to our country for several years now - performed by several groups from all over the US Many Filipino American doctors nurses and other civilian volunteers are organized for this purpose Missionaryrsquos services benefi ted the poor of the poorest in the different regions in the Philip-pines who otherwise are unable to

be seen by a physician in their whole life Sad to say Good Samari-tans shall be eventually gone

How frequent do we perform these medical missions Some groups will go yearly and others maybe twice or thrice yearly These mis-sionaries spend their own money and on top of that lose patients and daily income Indeed it is a sacrifi ce to do medical missions in general What we spend for missions is not a joke It is enormously expensive Nonetheless it is extremely uplifting to help our countrymen

The following requirements are 1 Copy of your passport (expira-

tion date must not exceed 6 months prior to departure)

2 An authenticated copy of valid professional licenses issued by the country of origin

3 Proof of purchase of liability insurance in the Philippines

4 Special Temporary Permit ID For former Filipino professionals

who wish to renew their Philippine medical licenses

1 A notarized application form to renew the

Philippine Medical License (PRC professional application form)

2 A photocopy of applicants pass-port (must not exceed 6 months prior to departure)

3 Original and photocopy of previously issued Philippine Profes-sional ID Card

4 An authenticated original and photocopy of the LicenseCertifi cate of RegistrationPermit in the adopted country

5 Four (4) Passport size ID pic-tures

6 You will be assessed penalty for the number of years your license has been allowed to expire

Volunteers are required to pay P300000 pesos for each application of Special Temporary Permit and are also required to pay P800000 pesos for the issuance of Special Temporary Permit ID In terms of dollar value this is equivalent to approximately $30000 out of your pocket just to offer your voluntary services for the medical mission For 15 to 20 doctors in the group will cost a signifi cant amount of money In addition each MD volunteer has to purchase liability insurance in the

Philippines It is not only another expense but we have to submit our-selves to unnecessary exposures frivolous lawsuits in the Philippines and probably subject to defense ex-penses waste of time in court hear-ings and possibly lose of license We doctors are already burdened by enormous prices of liability insur-ance in America

Like any surgery it is diffi cult to predict when complications arise that includes post-operative bleed-ing post-op infection intra-oper-ative or post-op death and many others There are many incentives for medical malpractice lawsuits es-pecially when the Philippine lawyers assume Fil-Am doctors have the dollar Whether there may have been incidents of medical complications incurred by previous medicalsurgi-cal missions resulting to implemen-tation of stringent regulations is not clear

The leaders of various Alumni and Physician organizations in America are in shock obviously disappoint-ed and outrage of the PRC regula-tions and are rebutting the issues

The root cause of this PRC action is indeed interesting to know They may have strong reason I have however a strong suspicion that the presence of Filipino American doc-tors is anathema to the local doctors Is the PRC regulations supported by the PMA of the Philippines If they do then that means we expatriates are not welcome period It appears noticeable that the regulations are contrary to the goodwill amp honorary intentions of expatriate volunteers

What does the Philippines got to loose Are they trying to protect the populace from supposedly incompe-tent foreign medical people Many questions no defi nite answers

Universal HealthCare is now intro-duced by the Aquino administration 52 million ldquopoor householdsrdquo that were identifi ed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development are covered by PhilHealth insurance and foreign doctors are therefore not needed The budget that the govern-ment allocated for this year is P12 billlion to enroll the poorest Filipi-nos According to Herbosa DOH Undersecretary ldquo the government is close to reaching 100 universal healthcare coverage for the popula-tion as of todayrdquo

As cancellations of medical mis-sions are in progress the ultimate victims will be the less fortunate Filipinos the underserved people in the Philippines who have been the benefi ciaries of these medical missions

We missionaries are driven by the desire to live in peace and nay- to fi nd relief for the people from the specter of poverty We love to serve our country but if our country does not need us then we can probably seek for other alternatives Our ser-vices are surely needed in other third world countries

Africa India Nepal Nicaragua Belize Peru will welcome mission-aries and none of these countries requires to pay any permit or tem-porary license or purchase liability insurance What is needed is simply the submission of CV diploma and current medical license

If yoursquore having a medical emer-gency the best thing you can do is get to the nearest hospital

But if you need non-emergency treatment and you have time to plan how do you fi nd a hospital that best fi ts your needs

A good place to start is the Medicare website wwwMedicaregov There yoursquoll fi nd an easy-to-use tool that has quality-of-care and patient- satisfac-tion information on more than 4000 hospitals around the country that par-ticipate in Medicare and Medicaid

The tool is called Hospital Com-pare We have a similar user-friendly tool ndash Nursing Home Compare ndash to fi nd skilled nursing homes More than 17000 skilled nursing facilities in the United States are listed We recently redesigned and added more informa-tion to both tools

Hospital Compare and Nursing Home Compare have two purposes One is to help people make good deci-sions about where they get health care By making quality-of-care informa-tion easily accessible to the public we also hope to encourage hospitals and skilled nursing homes to improve their performance

You donrsquot have to be enrolled in Medicare to use Hospital Compare or Nursing Home Compare ndash anyone can access them

Both tools give you a good snapshot of the overall quality of care at various local hospitals and skilled nursing facilities

Hospital Compare shows for example how often and how quickly hospitals give recommended treat-ments for heart attack heart failure pneumonia and childrenrsquos asthma

It also shows the percentage of patients who developed serious condi-tions such as bloodstream infections and bed sores while in the hospital Such conditions are often preventable if the hospital follows best practices

You can fi nd out how often patients returned to the hospital with the same condition and how that rate compares with the national average

We recently began posting infor-mation on how often a hospital uses imaging procedures such as CT scans or MRIs on patients with Medicare Thatrsquos important because some imag-ing tests carry potential health risks including unnecessary exposure to radiation

Hospital Compare also lets you read the responses of patients to a detailed questionnaire that asks about their experiences and level of satisfaction

The questions include how well doctors and nurses communicated with patients and whether patientsrsquo pain was well controlled Patients also are asked if the hospital kept their room clean and whether they received information in writing about what symptoms or health problems to look out for after they were discharged

Finally patients are asked to rate their overall hospital experience on a scale of zero to 10 ndash and if theyrsquod recommend that hospital to a relative or friend

Nursing Home Compare shows the results of health inspections and provides information on staffi ng including the number of nurses physi-cal therapists and nursing assistants at each facility

It also has a variety of measures that describe the quality of care in skilled nursing homes such as the frequency of pressure sores and urinary inconti-

Cayetano started the period of amendments after Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III wrapped up his controversial four-part ldquoturno en contrardquo speech on the bill

To allay fears the RH bill will promote abortion Cayetano deleted lines paragraph (i) of Section 3 which states ldquoWhile this Act does not amend the penal law on abortion the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post-abortion complications shall be treated and counseled in a humane non-judgmen-tal and compassionate mannerrdquo

rdquoIn lieu thereof insert a new subsection (j) which shall read as follows (J) Abortion is a criminal act in accordance with existing lawsrdquo Cayetano said

Cayetano also inserted a new sub-section which reads as follows ldquoAll complications arising from pregnancy labor and delivery shall be treated in a humane and compassionate man-nerrdquo

rdquoFilipinos are known to espouse a culture of kindness and empathy We uphold the tradition of reaching out and extending genuine care and concern for our countrymen in need more so for women who are pregnant and in need of special carerdquo she said

The lady senator also changed the title of Section 6 of the bill from ldquoProvision of Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Carerdquo to ldquoHealth Care Facilitiesrdquo where the local govern-ment units shall ensure the upgrad-ing of the hospitals and other related facilities with adequate personnel

President Benigno S Aquino III said in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) last July that he is hoping that the ldquoResponsible Parenthoodrdquo measure would fi nally solve the backlog in the countryrsquos public school system

The bill aims to construct at least one public or private hospital or four health facilities for every 500000 population

In response to critics that the RH bill promotes contraceptives as es-sential medicines Cayetano amended the title of Section 9 deleting the ldquoas essential medicinesrdquo

rdquoThus the title of Section 9 as amended shall now read as follows ldquoSection 9 The Philippine Drug Na-tional Formulary System and Family Planning Suppliesrdquo Cayetano said

In the same Section 9 Cayetano also inserted the sentence ldquoThe Philippine National Drug Formulary System (PNDFS) shall be observed selecting drugs including family supplies that will be included or removed from the essential drugs list (EDL) in accordance with existing practicerdquo

In Section 16 Cayetano also inserted the phrase ldquoeducation and information materials to be developed and disseminated for this purpose shall be reviewed regularly to ensure

their effectiveness and relevancerdquoAside from Cayetano other

senators who have already expressed interest to introduce amendments to the proposed bill are Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Senate Major-ity Leader Vicente Sotto III

Both Enrile and Sotto openly expressed opposition to the passage of the bill which they said aims to control the population of the country

Sotto stressed in his ldquoturno en con-trardquo speech that the country needs to create another law that would protect maternal health saying there are already 23 laws administrative orders and presidential decrees that address the reproductive health concerns specifi cally among women and their children

Recently Senator Panfi lo Lacson said at least 14 senators will sup-port the RH bill one of the priority measures of the Aquino administra-tion - PNA

caught fi re sparked by a gas lamp that was toppled during the earth-quake

It also reported that two bridges in Eastern Samar particu-larly the Buyayawan Bridge in Mercedes town and the Barangay Casuroy Bridge in San Julian town were partially damaged

The Abreeza Mall in Bajada Davao City suffered minor cracks on the fl oor due to the earthquake the NDRRMC added

The Philippine Institute of Volcanol-ogy and Seismology (Phivolcs) said that the quake struck 112 kilometers southeast of Guian Samar The quake which was tectonic in origin took place at 847 pm

It initially measured the quake at magnitude 77 and lowered it to mag-nitude 76 in updated bulletin

The US Geological Survey initially measured the quake at magnitude 79 It later said that the quake measured at magnitude 76 It said that the quake hit at a depth of 349 kilome-ters and was centered 106 kilometers (66 miles) east of Sulangan town on Samar Island

Phivolcs said in its bulletin that the quake was felt at

Intensity 7 in Guian Oras Sulat Borongan City Eastern SamarIntensity 6 in Siargao Surigao del Norte Tacloban City Palo Leyte Saint Bernard S LeyteIntensity 5 in Mati City Compostela Compostela Legaspi City Iloilo City Beilig City Iligan CityIntensity 4 in Butuan City Catbalo-gan City Butuan City Cagayan De Oro CityIntensity 3 in Cotabato City Mamba-jao Camiguin General Santos City andIntensity 2 in Marawi Sipalay City Phivolcs said that residents in the coastal areas of northern Samar eastern Samar Leyte southern Leyte Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Sur were advised to evacuate their homesTsunami alert
