Last 2011, Leyte was de-clared as an insurgency-reeprovince which means thatthe number o the rebelsoperating in the provincehave diminished consider-ably and could no longerstage ambush incidents sig-nicantly.

In a statement, Col. Ra-ael Valencia, commandingocer o the 802nd IB, con-demned and described theattack as another desperateact on the part o the NPA.

He added however thatthe incident would notstop them rom pursuingtheir mission o winningthe peace or the people oLeyte.

Last November 30 2012,one soldier was killed andtwo others were woundedwhen elements rom the78th Inantry Battalionwere ambushed by about 10

According to Canto, re-bels o the same strengthengaged soldiers in Ba-rangay Atipolo, about 10kms away rom Albuera lastTursday at around 9 p.m.

While no one was hurtin the second incident, a ci-vilian who happened to bein the area was wounded.

Te wounded civil-ian was identied as EdgarBorinaga, who was hit inthe crossre.

Despite these two at-tacks staged by the rebels,Canto maintained that in-surgency problem in Leyteremains insignicant.

Tey now come intothe open (and) engaged inattacking our soldiers be-cause they now eels theheat o our insurgency cam-paign, Canto said.

ment.Captain Drandreb Can-

to, spokesperson o the802nd Inantry Brigadebased in Ormoc City, saidthat the 8 p.m. Tursday in-cident was staged by about10 rebels.

Te soldiers, led by Lt.Gabriel Mira, were in Rubas,about 15 kms away rom thetown center, as part o theiroot patrol mission and justarrived there on the day othe attack,Canto said.

But they were able toght back against the en-emies, Canto said. Tereght lasted or about 20minutes.

he intensity of typhoons that bring rains,

oods, destruction and loss of lives is seen to

be getting erce with the offensive climate

change that has become a by-word in todays life.

The Mindanao area which used to be typhoon-free

or seldom visited by typhoons has now become afavorite destination of storms that unleash their fe-

rocity and leave the place with destruction and loss

of lives. The lessons left by these unbridled natu-

ral elements have somehow lessened loss of lives.

It is a good thing that the national government has

preemptive Pablos occurrence and directed antici-

patory moves like evacuation and disaster prepar-

edness.

The country does not have the threat that Israel

has but all disaster prone places can learn some ba-

sic lessons from it. Israel is a small country, not-

withstanding the treatises signed; it is practically

surrounded by enemy lines. Due to security prob-

lems, it has imposed all homes to have a rein-

forced security room impermeable to chemical

and biological substances.

The country has no such security threats

but it has to address massively the threats im-

posed by nature such as ashoods, typhoonsand other natural calamities. At the present,

whenever calamities strike, people are evacu-

ated to basketball courts, schools, churches

and other structures which are far from safe.

Mitigation of disaster must be given more pri-

ority and focus by the government by the sheer

political will of preventing residences from ca-

lamity-prone areas; building of evacuation ar-

eas that are equipped with the necessary sup-

plies and equipment for emergencies.

Tatevent which is narrated today inthe gospel o Saint Luke was trulya joyul encounter as it broughtabout the salvation o mankind.Mary was awestruck by the angelicannouncement but was too hum-ble and obedient to say yes to thewill o God without any question,hesitation or reservation. She hadthe ree will to choose and was im-bued with that reedom o choicewhere she could have opted toreject conceiving a child, but she

meekly accepted to bear theblessed ruit o her wombwho he conceived by theHoly Spirit. She nurturedthe child and bore the painsand suerings as a mothero our Savior.

Saturday of the 1st Week of AdventSolemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin MaryGn 3:9-15, 20; Ps 98; Eph 1:3-6, 11-12; Lk 1:26-38

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee calledNazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house ofDavid, and the virgins name was Mary. And coming to her, he said,Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you. But she was greatly troubledat what was said and pondered at what sort of greeting this might be.

Then the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have foundfavor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear ason, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be calledSon of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne ofDavid his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, andof his kingdom there will be no end. But Mary said to the angel, Howcan this be, since I have no relations with a man? and the angel said toher in reply, The Holy spirit will come upon you, and the power of theMost High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will becalled holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, hasalso conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for herwho was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God. Marysaid, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to meaccording to your word. Then the angel departed from her.

FULL OF GRACE

Mary was full of grace and she was highly favored by God becauseshe had no sin. She was the glory of her people. She is our taintednatures solitary boast. We sinners are proud of her as the only one

among the children of Adam and Eve without sin. Sin is degrading toman. It has affected all of us. We have been disgraced by this dealingwith the devil. We are ashamed of our disloyalty to God and of theway we have been untrustworthy of his grace. We rejoice that God hasfound Mary full of grace. We cannot equal Marys fullness but we can

be in the state of grace. Do I use the Sacrament of Confession as a helpgiven to me so that I may be united with God? Do I hate sin and loveGod as Mary did? (Daily Gospel Now, R.

Mary has become one

of Mankind, preserved

free from all stain of

cration to Mary.

O Immaculata,

Queen of Heaven and

earth, refuge of sinners

and our most loving

Mother, God has willed

to entrust the entire or-

der of mercy to you. I,

(name), a repentant sin-

ner, cast myself at yourfeet, humbly imploring

you to take me with

all that I am and have,

wholly to yourself as

your possession and

property. Please make

of me, of all my pow-

ers of soul and body,

of my whole life, death

and eternity, whatever

most pleases you. If it

pleases you, use all that

I am and have with-out reserve, wholly to

accomplish what was

said of you: She will

crush your head, and

You alone have de-

stroyed all heresies in

the whole world.

Let me be a t in-

strument in your im-

maculate and merciful

hands for introducing

and increasing your

glory to the maximumin all the many strayed

and indifferent souls, and

thus help extend as far

as possible the blessed

kingdom of the most Sa-

cred Heart of Jesus. For

wherever you enter you

obtain the grace of con-

version and growth in ho-

liness, since it is through

your hands that all graces

come to us from the most

Sacred Heart of Jesus.

(V.) Allow me to praiseyou, O Sacred Virgin

(R.) Give me strength

against your enemies.

Amen

The pureness of Mary

is one attribute of woman

that deserves the peo-

ples emulation. She is

the Mother of Perpetual

Help, a Mediatrix, the

succor of all humans, and

one whom all Catholic

faithful could call Our

Dear Mother. She is our

guide and protector. Our

prayer: Immaculate

Conception, pray for us.
