Loon: The Foundation of Rock Broken by the Heart of Stoneby: Arnulfo Laniba

Agape Foundation (Agasoft)

The spiritual meaning of the recent October 15, 2013 earthquake in Bohol

that devastated especially the rocky town of Loon,which has boasted for centuries of being invincible of any type of calamities,

thanks to its rocky foundation and strong religious devotion to mother Mary, its patron saint Kasilak (Lady of Light)

… which faith has been fast eroding…

Why did Loon,that rests on rocks, and protected from many previous quakes by its many caves

and the religious devotees,SUCCUMBED TO THE 7.2 QUAKE LAST TUESDAY OCTOBER 15, 2013,

and its concrete and steel beautiful housesfell like those made of cards?

October 23, 2013, Wednesday, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines –

I was born, grew up and live in Loon, has been a resident there for 46 years, therefore you can

believe what I am going to tell you, which I never thought I would.

Let me begin my story.

The bulk of the news, in every tragedy is in the present or ongoing sufferings, the magnitude of

the damage and anything that causes sensation.

That is called news. The evening TV news is full of the who, what when, where, how, how many,

how much – the questions reporters are told to answer in making reports.

And there belongs the first two groups of people: those who talk about people and those who

talk about events. They are not the wisest, so we are told.

The wisest are those who discuss ideas; in other words, those who delve into the why (causes)

and into the deeper how of things…. Those who seek to know the causes and effects and above

all, the solutions or medicines.

These are the wisest men.

And I think this group is not going to be the smallest in number when the majority, those who

are accused of being currently fond of talking about people and events, would shift to asking



the deep questions of why and how… even if few dare to ask, yet I believe an increasing

number, behold, everyone now who is exposed to such magnitude of sufferings, is now asking:

“Why?”

That is the center of our discussion today.

To seek to understand, not just to know. To seek to find the causes, the reasons, the meanings,

and the lessons behind.

Who or What is the Cause of the Earthquake, and to Blame? What meaning has it for us? What

are the Lessons? And equally important, How to avoid the same Tragedy in the Future?

These are the important questions we will attempt to answer in this article.

****

Immediately after every tragedy, the first interest of the people would be with the suffering or

destruction. Who suffered? What is the damage? How much is the damage? And the likes.

And there is also the sensation about the ordeals of different individuals, even the humor that

goes with the tragedy, the funny things.

But above all, there are the groans, the tears, the pains… which make up the main emotions.

And then, the dust settles down, the smoke clears up, and the flood dries up.

Then the time for pondering and deep thought follows… People begin to ask the question“Why?” “Who is to blame?”

This makes the behind-story that does not make to the TV news but can be more interesting.

Look, I have heard such stories peddled, circulating among the people, as if in whisper, partly

because they are not in the news, and partly because there is some sort of confidentiality and

culpability in it.

Let me begin with the Ormoc City Tragedy – to my mind, in my 46 years of existing in the

Philippines, the first major flood in the country. If I have not forgotten, more than 5,000residents died from the sudden burst of the water that reached the second story of most

houses in that unfortunate city that day.

It was found that a tornado or two fell on the upper dam, releasing tons of waters that buried

the city for days!

Why?



Yes, now we are asking why?

There are two sides of the answer to this most important question.

The first side is the physical-scientific answer.

The second side is the spiritual-attitude cause of the effect.

Focusing on the specific part of the cause, namely: the tornado, the physical-scientific cause of

it is the destruction of the forests, resulting to what we know in physics as imbalance of forces

in the area. The wind whirls or forces, we are told, and create what we know as whirlwinds… in

the middle of the forest, up in the atmosphere.

This whirlwind turns into a tornado (or hurricane if it is in the sea) as soon as it catches water or

clouds into its vortex and becomes visible to the human eye.

As more clouds or waters are pulled into its vortex, the tornado or hurricane becomes heavy

and it will soon fall on some areas nearby, or will first roam around and do terrible destruction.

There is a difference between the Atlantic hurricanes that wreak havoc in America to our

upland tornadoes in the Philippines.

Their hurricane, that forms in the Atlantic oceans, is scary in the sense that it has no desire to

fall into a place until it has roamed around a wide area, picked up many houses, buildings and

things, whirl them up in the air, turning them into small debris and dump them in one site!

In the Philippines, our upland tornado, in contrast to their sea tornado (hurricane), becomes

quickly heavy with water and tends to be content in falling into nearby areas. This becomes

very destructive when the area chosen is a river course…. or worse, if there is a dam. The

tornado water plus the dam water flowing on course of the river = huge destruction.

This is usually the pattern here in the Philippines.

The Cagayan de Oro flooding was also traced to a tornado that fell into a dam somewhere in

the upper part of Bukidnon, Mindanao. We have been waiting the media to make clear reports

and their findings about this, but the media owners, I think, have no interest. They are moreinterested in making sensations by focusing on the who, what, when, where and shallow how

of the news because it is what makes sensation and makes money.

As to the why and the deeper how, they do not have interest… They are afraid to! Why?

Because this will lead to some kind of culpability that may include themselves!

Let me continue deeper.



The “why” of the continuing destructive flooding in the Philippines is found in the practice of

irresponsible logging, where they continue or persist to remove the trees, destroy the forest,

and thus, create an imbalance in ecology, causing whirlwinds, causing tornadoes to form.

This would not be the case had the loggers and the people replanted the cleared area rightafter the cutting.

O yes, we come to think of the Kaingin system of the farmers, the slash and burn farming

practices of the people… But what we do not want to accept that besides the Kaingin, there is

the more destructive logging that destroys the ecological balance in the forests, be it legal or

illegal logging does not make a difference, since in both cases, trees are cut and imbalance is

created.

To me, the better practice is that which has been stipulated in the law, namely: replant as soon

as it is cut, and let the young trees catch up with the big ones; what I mean is: Don’t cut the old

trees too fast!

But the best practice to me is: Leave the forest at peace, and seek other materials to meet our

construction needs.

Sure, there are at least good alternative materials to serve our construction needs. One is the

use of concrete and steel bar, which we are now using.

NEW BUSINESS PARADIGM/ NEW BUSINESS MENTALITY/ NEW BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE

The other option is hemp fibers. Hemp, which is the cousin of marijuana, both of which belongto the cannabis specie, is known for its very strong fiber that if it is used to make our clothes,

shoes, slippers, lumbers, etc., the textile, shoe and construction factories et al would have a

long holiday before they will resume operation!! Why?

Because the lifespan of our clothes, shoes, slippers, and houses would be more than doubled

the present weaker materials that we are presently using! The hemp fiber is verrry durable. And

the world’s businessmen know that, and the Illuminati businessmen as well. And they figured it

out that IF THEY WILL PREFER QUALITY, WHICH THE PEOPLE PREFER, THEY WOULD MAKE

SMALLER SALES BECAUSE QUALITY DOES NOT ALLOW AS MUCH REPEAT ORDERS FROM

CUSTOMERS AS WHEN YOU USE INFERIOR PRODUCTS!

Therefore, they worked out to exclude hemp fiber (up to the extent of making law that outlaws

hemp-marijuana) so they and their fellow manufacturers will use the inferior materials for our

clothes, shoes, slippers, lumber and the likes! These perversely wise and greedy businessmen

sees more money – read: more repeat orders – if they can make products that pass out as

quickly as possible, thereby, causing the customers to need a new replacement, thereby,

creating new sales, hence, more profit for the businessmen!



I have a discussion with my friends regarding the day when materials for a product are as

durable as to last forever! What would it look like? How does it allow people to prosper?

Well, let us think for a moment these things that we need and when we have them, they would

not get destroyed but last forever or until we decide to replace them with an ungraded version.

Let us start with clothes. How much money would you be able to save (and how will it allow you

to use it for other things) if your clothes do not wear out no matter what, including their colors

and their state of being new? Well, you can decide to buy new styles but your old ones will still

look new no matter how old they may be!

What implication – what economic benefit – would it be – if all businessmen will look for

materials that are the most durable?

“Well, that would be making people rich since that give them much savings and would allow

them to direct these savings on other useful things! Viva for the customers! The people. But

alas for the businessmen, for having no more repeat orders, they are thus like killing

themselves out of business!” you might say.

Well, if you are looking to create a world where businessmen are there to make money and

impoverish the people – if you want a world where the businessmen’s objective is to enrich

themselves, then, you are correct in your worry!

But if you are envisioning a new world where businessmen aim to make durable, everlasting

products – businessmen who do not fear seeing their products becoming obsolete (no longer in

demand) once market saturation has been reached, simply because of the fact that after

people have bought them, they would last for a lifetime because they are very durable – if youare envisioning a world where businessmen aim to give people product they can use and

benefit forever – and at the same time businessmen who are ready to move on to other needs

of the people – then, expect to get excited! Because not only that these innovative, creative

and responsible businessmen will still get rich, even richer, you will also see the world prosper!

Because the logic is very simple: My shoes no longer wear out, and so I can continue to use it

forever and will only change it if it no longer fits me; the repeat expenses due to shoes being

unduly destroyed because of low quality materials, are the money you will be able to save

when businessmen will stop believing that the way to get rich is by repeat orders and the way

to cause repeat orders it to make their products last only for months!

This is GREED!

This kind of businessmen is causing people, the masses, unnecessary expenses. The people –

the customers, get stuck at buying the same things over and over and over and over again,

instead of having the freedom to have their money directed for another useful appliance or

equipment or investment that would farther enrich their lives!



WANTED: BUSINESSMEN WHO MAKE EVERLASTING PRODUCT, PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM

BUYING IT A SECOND TIME, AND WHO MOVE ON TO MAKE NEW PRODUCTS TO MEET OTHER

NEEDS, THEREBY, HELPING PEOPLE TO PROGRESS BY BUYING THEIR EVERY NEED ONLY ONCE

AND BEING ABLE TO SAVE THEIR MONEY FOR THE NEXT NEED OR INVESTMENT!

So, to make it clearer, here is what a family looks like under the new world: They only buy

woods, nails, roofings, etc for their house once and no longer need to worry about repairs,

since these materials do not deteriorate, therefore, there house does not experience

deterioration or destruction. Next, the family bought clothes only once or only when their

present clothes do not fit. They may buy new styles but they no longer buy because their

clothes wore out.

Shoes today are a big financial problem to families, because these shoes are made of very

inferior materials and wear out easily long before time, thereby causing the families to suffer to

buy another pair of shoes when the money could have been allocated for other useful things!

Here we can see businessmen helping people (customers) save money and become more

prosperous. Imagine everything, every appliance, every gadget, every tool, every equipment,

every property of every family, as EVERLASTING!

What a huge money every family saves and is able to use for other things that will further

enrich their lives!

We are looking for such businessmen!

We are looking for businessmen who make medicine that will repair a sick or damaged cell ortissue or organ forever and which does not poison or destroy other adjacent cell, tissue or

organ. We are looking for businessmen who make medicine that can give permanent healing to

any sickness.

We are looking for businessmen who do not MAKE BUSINESS OUT OF DISEASE – WHO DO NOT

CONSPIRE WITH OTHERS TO LACE FOOD AND DRINKS AND OTHER PRODUCTS WITH POISONS

SO THE MASSES WILL GET SICK AND BUY THEIR MEDICINES OR CHEMOTHERAPY.

We are looking for businessmen who make medicine that when used at first time, it will result

to permanent healing, instead of producing an average of 70 harmful side effects over lifetime,resulting to poisoning of the cells and organs, leading to cancer.

We need chemists who can formulate medicines whose effect do not expire next day, thus, no

longer needing additional dosage. We need medicines that do not cause patients to be

dependent on them till death – medicines that heal you instantly or immediately, AND

permanently and so, the patient will no longer need to take it over and over and over again and

become dependent on them forever!



WE need cooks and chefs who realize that FOOD IS THE BEST MEDICINE. Food must be viewed

as a healer, both preventive and curative.

These are some of the transformation we need for the new era. Selfish business ideas shall no

longer be the fad.

Back to the advantage of hemp.

And because hemp can be harvested in just 45 days, and can be grown so easily, what reason

will we think to touch the trees who have other more important roles than becoming a part of

our furniture or fixtures?!!

The Cabal, that so-called Illuminati, the unilluminated Illuminati – that group of global elite who

rules this world, and created its government systems, which is going to be replaced by the

better Kingdom-government of God – these Cabals have been carrying out their leader Satan’s

agenda: To destroy the forest to destroy humanity.

It is Satan who is directing the operation to destroy our forests.

Isa 14:3

[niv]On the day the LORD gives you relief from suffering and turmoil and cruelbondage,[kjv]And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee restfrom thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou

wast made to serve,

Isa 14:4

[niv]you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How theoppressor has come to an end! How his fury has ended![kjv]That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say,How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

Isa 14:5 [niv]The LORD has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,[kjv]The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the

rulers.

Isa 14:6

[niv]which in anger struck down peoples with unceasing blows, and in furysubdued nations with relentless aggression.

[kjv]He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruledthe nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

Isa 14:7 [niv]All the lands are at rest and at peace; they break into singing.

[kjv]The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

Isa 14:8 [niv]Even the pine trees and the cedars of Lebanon exult over youand say, "Now that you have been laid low, no woodsman comes tocut us down."



[kjv]Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon,

saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

“Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Sincethou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.” The fall of Satan means

freedom of the trees from logging, since he is the leader of logging.

The worldwide economic activity of destroying the forest is Satan’s work.

***

WE are now witnessing how fast the forest-originating tornadoes are destroying the people,

without need to use the hydrogen bombs. These tornadoes are like bombs dropped on unwary

population. The only difference is: one is water, the other is fire.

So, I guess I have illumined you a little bit with regards to the physics (physical) cause – the firstside of the “Why”.

Now, I would like to hasten to the spiritual part of the Cause. And when I say “spiritual,” do not

imagine a ghost or a witch or a demon.

“Spiritual” simply means that which is not visible in man but is as real as those which are seen

by the naked eye. Therefore, “spiritual” here refers to the mind and heart of man – the

thoughts and emotions, e.g., the negative thoughts and the negative feelings.

FB CONVERSATION:

Romrom: ok ra me dre n0ng kamu angay kamustahon dha n0ng.

cge pa ug panghatag ug relief goods dha nong? naa ko masbate nong

English translation: We are OK (here in Masbate), big Brother. Don’t be concerned about us. It is

you there in Bohol whom we are worried about. Are they helping all quake victims? Are the

relief goods continuing?

Nong Cocoy: O lage doy, hagsa mga balay nato diri. Maayo gani kay hayag na nahitabo,nakadagan pa mga tawo ug nakatago. kay ug gabii pa, basta lage, hagsa gud mga bong2, mga

atop ug haligi. Tap ukan lagi jd ba!

English: Yes, doy (my little brother), the houses here collapsed. What we are thankful about is

the fact that the quake did not occur at night – that it occurred at day time, and at 8: a.m.,

where the people are awake, so many were able to move or run to safer places and escape

death, although a few sustained some wounds or injuries. Very few died.



If it happened at night time, when people were asleep, most probably death would be very

numerous as many bedrooms were totally destroyed, the sleepers being killed by the falling

ceiling and roofs as well as fallen walls.

Romrom: Luoya pud d i sa kaigsu0nan nato dha,,maayo pud gne n0ng ky wlay klase,ky kungnaatol pa,,daghan jud madisgrasya..

English: How pitiful! It was fortunate however that it was a holiday, otherwise, many school

children would get injured or dead.

Manong Cocoy: O bitaw, mao pud nay usa sa among na realize nga gi-prevent sa Ginoo. Kay ug

klase pa, katong orasa, ang tanang mga students sa SHA, tua to sa sulod sa simbahan tambong

misa. Unja kay hagsa man tibook simbahan. Mabuhi kaha ka ug mahugan sa dagkong sin ug

bato?

English: That’s true. That is also our realization that God prevented many deaths of school

children by not allowing it to happen on a school day. Because for example, had it been a school

day, 1,000 plus students of SHA would be at that very hour inside the church building that

collapsed. No one would survive when the whole massive weight of that big church fell on you!

Bisan ug sa sulod pud sa classroom, mao gihapon kay hagsa man tibook SHA.

English: Even if the students remained inside their classrooms. The classrooms also collapsed.

So, may Dios jud nga gugma... bisan pa man ug gitugot Nija ning katalagmana. Murag

pampukaw ni.

English: So, there is a God of love… even if the Same allowed that quake to happen. It seems to

me that the purpose of the quake was to awaken in strong words the (spiritually) sleeping

people.

Kay gani ang mga floods doy no, katong nahitabo sa Ormoc, gagmay pa mo ato tuiga, pero mao

toy unang pinakakusog nga baha lunop, then, daghan nang misunod apil na tong sa Cagayan,

Iligan, St Bernard, ug lately katong sa ComVal.

Pulos to tornado o buhawi ang nakaingon sa dako ug kusog nga tubig baha.

Unja kay matod pa sa mga authorities, ang buhawi kon tornado, hangin na nagtuyok

(whirlwind) then, misuyop ug tubig o panganod. Nahimong buhawi.



Diin man gikan ang wind nga mi whirl?

Muguwa kuno na ug pamutlon ang mga kahoy, o kalasangan.

Mga pwersa o hangin kana nga nagmaintain sa balance sa forest, nga magtujoktujok ug wa nay

mga kahoy.

So, sa ato pa, tawo diay nakaingon aning mga dagkong baha-lunop. Kanang wrong nga logging,

irresponsible logging. Wala tumana ang balaod nga replanting.

So, dili ni silot sa Ginoo o gikan sa Kinaiyahan. Buhat kini sa mga tawo esp sa mga dagkong mga

loggers.

Gatugot lang ang Ginoo pero may mga instances nga Iyang pugngan ang mas grabe nga

kamatayan, sama sa wa Nija itugot nga matunong ug gabii o klasehan o tingmisa Dominggo.

May mga milagro o acts of love from God nga atong nakita. Katong usa sa mga kaluha ni Inday

Sheila, naapsan sila sa iyang yaya sa natumba nga cementong bongdong dapit sa guwa. Si Anot

nga maoy gakugos sa usa, nakagawas na, unja paglingi nija maoy iyang nakita nga natumbahan

na sila sa sementong bongbong!

Mipiyong si Anot sa kaguol. Pero milagro jud, kay may gamay space sa ilawom, didto ra ang

yaya ug bata. Ang bata nagkatawa kuno pagduol nila.Like · · Unfollow Post · Share · Promote

Arnulfo Laniba Dili malalis nga loyal tang mother Mary, in fact, ang atong patron saint is Kasilak or Lady of Light.The fact that God or mother Mary leaves her image intact (standing in the heap of rubbles, not destroyed) has amessage to us. Guess what? My guess is: We honor her in lips but do not (take note you our dear wives, mothersand sisters) honor (read: follow and practice) her examples of humility and compassion for the poor, because, to behonest and frank, there are women who are doing some business or things that hurt many poor people, be it in theform of products or in usurious lending! I am not naming names, and I am not pointing to single persons, but to allof us, because, indeed in one degree or another, and in one way or another, we are engaged in practices, works,business, etc, that hurt others, trees or people, fish or people, young or old, even our fellow women and children we

are harming in the form of chemicals that we help scatter and spread in the foods, in the air, etc. Is that whatMother Mary would do, if she were my wife, your wife, my mother or your mother?

Arnulfo Laniba This is the attitude part of the whole tragedy. There are two kinds of root causes: the physics andthe attitude.


Arnulfo Laniba The physics refer to as far root cause as the scientists can trace. For example: we have learned thatthe ongoing floodings in the Philippines et al is caused by the tornado that is created when a forest is cleared ordestroyed, hence, it is the logging that creates tornadoes. Hence, human fault, not a fault by Nature or Godpunishing us.


Arnulfo Laniba Now, the attitude part of the root cause is ours. Our attitude. Our thinking and feeling. Attitude =mind + heart. Thoughts + Feelings.

Arnulfo Laniba What kind of thoughts we have towards our own family? Answer: positive.


Arnulfo Laniba But what kind of attitude (thoughts and feelings) do we have towards the trees, the seas, theanimals and other people not our relatives?


Arnulfo Laniba Sure answer: mostly negative in the sense that we neglect to consider their side, the effect of ouraction on them!


Arnulfo Laniba Does Coca-cola ever consider in its over 100 years of existence, for example, how many families willgo bankrupt and how many drops or tons of tears families would shed all over the world when its sweetener, theaspartame, the sucralose or the HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) cuts the legs of many men, who thereby lost their

jobs, and failed to feed their families, nor send their children to school? Did Coke ever review its ad "Coke adds life"in the light of the fact that it is causing diabetes worldwide??!!!


Arnulfo Laniba Therefore, look at that! But never point your fingers to Coca cola because the same spirit -- thesame attitude of walang concern -- the attitude of selfishness, greed, lust or even pride -- is in our hearts and mindsas it is in the hearts and minds of the makers and sellers of Coke et al!


Arnulfo Laniba When I mention Coke as an example, I am not singling out Coke nor intending that we kill all Coca

cola owners and workers. What I intend is simply to let us -- all of us -- begin to see that IF WE HAD ONLY FOLLOWED THE REAL HEART AND MIND OF MOTHER MARY, THEN, WE WOULD NOT HARMING THEM WHO DONOT BELONG TO OUR MYOPIC DEFINITION OF WHAT THE WORD "FAMILY" -- read: family -- MEANS!






























































































Arnulfo Laniba Gamatitong ra kaajo ato definition sa word nga "family" (Our definition of the word “famiy” is verytiny!). To a growing number, it has become a small group of "husband, wife and kids". Limtan na gani mga tiguwang(We’ve even forgotten the old folks), read: parents, "kay tiguwang na bitaw to sila" (because they are old folksanyway) See?


Arnulfo Laniba If we think deep, my fellow Loonanons, the image of mother Mary that remains standing in themidst of the heap of pulverized stones and blocks of the former splendored Loon church, our present LOONANA - thewoman of Loon today is fast becoming opposite to WHO MOTHER MARY IS: HUMBLE, GENTLE, VERY COMPASSONATE, NEVER ALLOWS A BEGGAR TO GO EMPTY HANDED!


Arnulfo Laniba That forms the deeper meaning -- the deeper cause of why Loon, the town founded on rocks, thetown that brags that no kind of tragedy would or could ever sweep the town since it stands on rocks, has beenbroken, its houses falling like houses of cards during the recent October 15 quake... and the reason? The heart of stone has proved to be stronger, destroying the foundation of rock!


Arnulfo Laniba Hear you, my old folks, old fathers and mothers. Part of that heart of stone is the ongoing evilpractice of sosyo, where barangay folks form themselves into a group of lenders, and charging usurious interest rates

that even the evil rich would not do!


Arnulfo Laniba This kind of usury, called sosyo or kabaway in some barrios, is so exorbitant to the people becausenot only is it a compounded interest system, it is also being used upon borrowers who are very poor already.


Arnulfo Laniba I had for a long time campaigned for its dismantling or change for a better more compassionateform, namely: not compounded interest, and smaller rates, but the groups would not because their system isallowing them to earn so much that they could afford to have a grand fiesta celebration every September 8.



















































































Arnulfo Laniba I intensified my campaign against this Biblically-prohibited form of lending, called usury, but locallytermed sosyo or kabaway, or five six, or shark loan, when someone died by suicide... and when I saw poorborrowers cried, lost their coconut trees or lands, when the group seized them, comes August 30, few days before

the September 8 fiesta.


Arnulfo Laniba So, dear mamistahay (fiestagoers), it is now time for you to know, howbeit ugly it is, that thereputation of Loon as the grandest fiesta celebrators, giving you the impression that we are very rich or/and verydevote, due to the volume of meat and drinks and deserts that are laid on the tables during September 8 - alas, letall of you be informed or for others to be reminded: THE MONEY USED TO BUY THESE GREAT MEALS DID NOTCOME SOLELY FROM THE POCKET OF RICH LOONANON BUSINESSMEN, BUT FROM USURY, whereby many hearts of poor borrowers were crying during the very day we celebrate the fiesta!


Arnulfo Laniba Is that what Mother Mary would approve? Is that what she would like to see? 50% of her childrencelebrating, while hidden from view are 50% crying (the borrowers)?


Arnulfo Laniba I encourage you to go to Loon and take a closer look at what I am unwillingly revealing to younow... all over the world... it is the hidden cause of the Loon quake... even the Bohol quake.


Arnulfo Laniba If Ormoc tragedy has its story of an old woman entering the disco houses that night before theflood, the woman whom the dancing ladies and the guards drove away... that same old woman who said, "Heartless"because not even a small food or drink she asked did they give.. that old woman left them saying, "Alas a tragedy

will befall this place which is lined up with bars side by side the church!"


Arnulfo Laniba If St Bernard village has its story of another old woman, full of wounds, going house to house,knocking on every gate, asking for food, if not crumbs, only to be driven away, or threatened by the house owner to























































































be chased by their dogs if she would not leave, and that same old woman told the last house, the house of a poorfamily, and the only family that pitied and fed her, she told that fortunate family, thus: "Blessed are you, for youalone will escape the coming calamity that is soon to befall this dirty place!" That place is known to have plenty of OFWs and seamen and their wives or husbands left home were committing various kinds of immoralities.


Arnulfo Laniba If they have those ugly stories, then, Loon has its own. It is the story of FINANCIAL GANG RAPE.


Arnulfo Laniba Here is this story.


Arnulfo Laniba I told my father to do something to end this usurious practice of sosyo. He is one of the mainorganizer, an old time member.


Arnulfo Laniba I pointed to him the ongoing sufferings of the borrowers.. them who came to me crying. Them whocommitted suicide partly or mainly because of such usury. Them who attempted suicide but who were prevented.Them who cried in secret while we, you, enjoyed the drinks, the sumptuous meals offered at fiesta time.


Arnulfo Laniba I told him of the biblical teachings that it is called usury.


Arnulfo Laniba But he answered: "Such usury is wrong if it is done by an individual, a private person, for personalselfish purposes . Since ours is not done by an individual but by a group and for the fiesta purposes, e.g., to makethe visitors happy, then, and therefore, it is not wrong.






























































































Arnulfo Laniba My father is considered the lawyer -- the law of our village -- when he spoke, it is like the law for

the clan and villagers. He did not finish law due to untimely bankruptcy of our lolo's family business, but he is like alawyer. He was the DILG head of many towns for many years. Being his brightest child, he wanted me to be lawyer,to achieve his lost dream of being a licensed lawyer. For some reason of conscience, I didn't follow him -- I resistedhis every effort to get law.


Arnulfo Laniba Where did I go?


Arnulfo Laniba I went to study the Laws of God.


Arnulfo Laniba Now that moment of confrontation between two fake lawyers came. I told my father: "Pa, when

you said group usury is justified, and individual usury not justifiable, are you also telling me that it is the same assaying that individual rape is wrong while gang rape is not?"


Arnulfo Laniba That ends the confrontation. He left without a word... and without action. Until the quake came lastTuesday, October 15, 2013, 8 a.m.


Arnulfo Laniba I am not blaming my father, ignorant of the laws of God.




































































































Arnulfo Laniba I am just pointing out an error that we all commit, namely: the lack of love for the neighbor, orfellowman... to the extent that we are willing to act as predators, crocodiles, or lions making victims of those who aretrusting us or who are naive and gullible.


Arnulfo Laniba My last question: Would mother Mary approve and click the button "Like" in our facebook in favor of such practices? Not only usury, but also any practice that harms any kind of neighbor: trees, water, seas, air,animals, man -- would mother Mary approve that? And can you say that this quake is a unjustified, without meaning,without purpose?
