But considering o the

All individuals whomade contact with theboy would be given the

Cerro appealed tothe people o the villagewhere the boy residesnot to go into panicsaying that there is noreason to get panic con-sidering that the boy isnow conned and thathis closest contacts arenow being monitoredby them.

We have recievedreports that the villagepeople went into pan-ic when they learnedabout it, he said.

Weed out loose rearms

Leyte Samar

Abolish PCGG?

to page 5

Observer

ALVIN GZ. ARPON

The Presidential Commis-

sion on Good Government

(PCGG) had long been in

operation and may have out-

lived its purpose and objec-

tive why it was formed by for-

mer President Cory Aquino.

It was tasked to recover some

$10 Billion fortune believed to

have been embezzled by for-

mer President/Dictator Fer-

dinand Edralin Marcos andhis cronies, during his 20-year

regime as head of state from

1965 1986.

Out of this apparently

overstaying Malacaangrule

and other abuses in power,

Marcos, his family and a few

cronies were literally driven

out of the country in Feb-

ruary 25, 1986 via what

is now etched in history

and world renown as the

peaceful People Power

Revolution of the Philip-

pines.

-oOo-

The PCGG originally

had its own lifespan in an

executive order signed by

Pres. Cory. It has been ex-

tended quite a number of

times by Congress, to give

more time for the com-

mission to gather more

evidences of the Marcos

plunder and recovering

this hidden but stolen

wealth.

It is also sad to note

that PCGG chair, An-

dres Bautista revealed

that a substantial por-

tion of the ill-gotten

wealth of Marcos re-

mains unrecovered.

What they have re-covered is merely less

than 50% of this stolen

wealth, after 26 years of

PCGG operations.

By the way it is dur-

ing this stint of PCGG

Chief Bautista that a lot

oo much bloodshed, rearms illegally dis-

charged, innocent lives perished. These paint

the picture of a rogue society where hundreds

of thousands of loose rearms abound. These con-

vey no less than the painful truth that the national

government has failed to weed out loose rearms

right in the very root of it. The proliferation of loose

rearms is going beyond proportion, as critics say,

and there seems to be more of these in the bin thanthe statistics that the Philippine National Police has

its active les.

A specially created undertaking of the national

government called the National Firearms Control

Program, launched in year 2009, was thought to

be the national governments tool against the ap-

parently wanton spread of this kind deadly weapon

across the archipelago. In issuing Executive Order

No. 187, then Pres. Gloria Arroyo desired to re-

duce by at least 3 percent per month the estimated

1.1 million loose rearms said to be currently

in the hands of threat groups, criminal ele-

ments and unauthorized individuals.

Intensied police operations against the

proliferation of unregistered rearms thru

random weapons check operations in crime-

prone areas; mobile check-points and choke-

point operations; intelligence build-up; in-

ternal security operations; application forSearch Warrants; and dismantling of private

armed groups and criminal gangs, syndicates

and threat groups will be given priority oper-

ational action for implementation, according

to a report posted on a PNP Regional website

in Mindanao days following the launching of

the program.

Three years have lapsed with the NFCP

presumably in full swing yet more and more

THE WALKING ON THE WATER

[After the ve thousand men had eaten and were lled, Jesus] madehis disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side towardBethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. And when he had taken leaveof them, he went off to the mountain to pray. When it was evening, theboat was far out on the sea and he was alone on shore. Then he saw thatthey were tossed about while rowing, for the wind was against them.About the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them, walking onthe sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out. They had all seen himand were terried. But at once he spoke with them, Take courage, it isI, do not be afraid! He got into the boat with them and the wind dieddown. They were [completely] astounded. They had not understoodthe incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened.

LAW BREAKERS!

A Christian was once crossing a high mountain pass in Tibet withhis Tibetan guide. Suddenly they stumbled upon a man who had slippedfrom the path and was lying in the snow, but still alive. Come, helpme try to bring this unfortunate man to safety, said the Christian to hisguide. But the guide said in fright, If we try to carry the man, none ofus will survive. So I am going away and if you want, come with me.Saying that, he set off down the path. But the Christian, alone, liftedthe traveler on his back, slowly and painstakingly picked his way alongthe steep and slippery path. Soon it began to snow. Somehow he madeit, with his heavy load, to the village. But at sunrise, he saw the frozenbody of his guide lying on the ground; alone, the guide had succumbedto cold and wind. Love of self is the basic law of our fallen nature.The guide had succumbed to this law, but the Christian had brokenthat law by sacricing his own comforts, to save someone else. In theprocess, he al so saved himself. Jesus Christ could defy the law of na-ture and hence he could walk on the sea (Mk 6:48), which we cannotdo. But Jesus expects us to defy some harmful laws of human naturesuch as selshness. St. John pleads: Beloved, if God so loved us, wealso ought to love each other (1 Jn 4:11). It is easy and very human to

care for a person, if that suits our own plans, or if it is convenient, or ifthe person in question is a relative. But if we love others as God lovesus, we would be caring for anyone who is in need, as if that person isof our own family. . (His Word is Life by Vima Dasan, S.J. publishedby Paulines.

We have been tagged

albeit unfairly as imitators

of other races and cultures.In more ways we are inu-

enced by the fashion and

lifestyles of western coun-

tries, chief of which Amer-

ica. We had developed that

mentality of opting to adopt

identities of other peoples

and cultures. Our fash-

ion had hugely been what

we see are being worn by

Americans and other west-

ern countries. Apart from

the fashion wears we too

are fond of the foods and

recipes of other countries.

We try to like the taste that

seems to us imported in

lieu of our palatable na-

tive dishes. And we try to

adopt the technologies that

advanced countries had de-

veloped in our desire to be

in fashion and live the life-

of the Marcos -ill-gotten

treasure recovery was

done. Some 200 cases

have already been led

against some few heirs

and cronies who may

have partaken in thesharing of the Marcos

loot.

-oOo-

Before PCGG is de-

commissioned, this gov-

ernment should conduct

a thorough investigative

evaluation of its perfor-

mance. On record there

has been recovered by

PCGG substantial stolen

money that has reached

the total of P16.4 billion

since 1986. The single

biggest recovery was the

The alleged total sto-

len wealth of the Mar-

cos Dictatorship being

sought to be recoveredby government is about

$10 billion?

-oOo-

President Noynoy

should seriously study the

PCGG abolition proposal.

There are 200 cases led

in courts relative to the

biggest thievery so for by

a head of state in Asia.

To have these transferred

to the Dept of Justice for

litigation will entail a lot

of problems. The DOJ has

led so many cases on its

own the 200 additional

ones to be transferred by

PCGG if it gets abolished

will denitely cater a lot

of problems and certainly

delay their resolution.

-oOo-

Why doesnt PCGG

just be strengthened

provide it with all ad-equate support to suc-

ceed in stolen-hidden

wealth recovery and the

ling of cases against

those who connived with

former President/Dicta-

tor Ferdinand Marcos in

the worst plunder case

committed to this poor

nation of this century,

not to mention hundreds

of human rights abuses

and cases of desparaci-

dos allegedly commit-

ted by that regime?

Despite the passage of

RA 10354 known as Repro-

ductive Health (RH) Law,

groups closely associated

with the Catholic Church

are working on a strategy

to keep it from being im-

plemented.

Recently, lawyer James

Imbong led a suit chal-

lenging the constitutional-

ity of the RH Law asking

the Supreme Court to issue

a Temporary Restraining

Order (TRO) to prevent it

from being implemented.

For many years starting

from the Spanish colonial

days, the Catholic Church

and the friars wilded so

much powers to the point

that the even State policy

could be inuenced by the

church leadership.

In recent time, the inu-

ence of the church reached

its height during the Edsa I

People Power and this po-

litical clout grew stronger

during the presidency of

Cory Aquino. Time has

changed, P-NOY, the son of

Cory, dared to go head-on

against an institution sup-

portive of his mother. The

CBCP leaders even hint-

ed as ex-communicating

President Noy early in his

term because he said cou-

ples who opt for articial

methods of contraception

have a right to do so. The

passage of the RH Bill after

languishing in Congress for

14 years due to opposition

from the church made the

situation delicate.

The reality is, the inu-

ence of the Catholic Church

seems to be on a steep de-

cline. Criticisms of the

clergy are growing stronger

compounded by the in-

creasing number of sui-

cides committed by priests

in the last 6 years.

Filipinos who are mes-

merized by the Catholic

Church should learn the

real history and the role

that the priests played in the

Philippine conquest and the

subjugation of the Filipino

people. The Spanish con-

quest of the Philippines was

the collaboration between

the sword and the cross.

The Spanish priest told

Filipinos to love those who

bring their suffering. The

Church leaders have lost

sight of the separation of

Church and State.

style of modern people.

Our systems of govern-

ment and education arelikewise a copycat from

other countries. We have

adopted systems that are

often inapplicable to us,

failing, we put the blame

on us rather than on the sys-

tem we force adopting. The

problem is often in the un-

have as a people which may

be incompatible to the sys-

tem we are adopting.

Then we develop a pen-

chant for modern gadgetry

that advance nations show

us. We become captive

markets of technological

products which are dumped

to our country. Gullible

customers are easily caught

in such gadgets that are de-

pendent from their coun-

tries of origin for operation

and maintenance. We get

hooked in the use of such

modern things and fall as

perennial customers of the

industries of such coun-

tries.

But in all our tendencies

to be imitators, there is one

aspect of governance and

socio-political life that we

must have copied but we

continue to fail doing so.

We already adopted mostly

American ways of fashion,

lifestyle, education, gov-

ernance and technology.

Unfortunately, we remain

an immature people as we

continue to fail to develop

the way we see it practiced

in other countries, speci-

cally America.Our democracy, educa-

tion, government setup and

many other aspects of life

are in a way copied, mainly

from America. The only

thing we fail to copy is the

to reports are flashed onscreen, read on broad-

sheets and heard over ra-

dio news broadcast about

criminalities happening in

various parts of the coun-

try using either loose, un-

registered and unlicensed

rearms. Riding in tan-

dem crime perpetrators

could either be using loose

rearms or those author-ized by law. These crimi-

nalities of varied nature

and involving rearms

have motives largely un-

known but a singular pur-

pose to kill.

Election fever is rising

and more election-related

violent incidents are ex-

pected to happen emanat-

ing from brewing political

feuds. The ght in a turf

wrapped in hostility and

greed is on goons, gold

and, needless to elaborate,

guns. With the prolifera-tion of loose rearms and

the in-depth network-

ing of wealthy tradition-

al politicians, hired guns

will sell like hotcakes. The

only way seen to thwart

this scenario from hap-

pening is to weed out the

loose rearms where they

thrive.

Carrying out effective-

ly this crackdown on loose

rearms, although neces-

sitating the cooperation of

the citizens, is basically a

task of the law enforcers,especially the PNP. Be-

sides, they have the sta-

tistics thus, they are con-

sidered knowledgeable

where these loose rearms

are manufactured and dis-

tributed. The buck stops

at them just the same.

While they wereable to discover thatChikungunya hit thevillage o Guintarcanlast December, theyhave yet to determinewhen the ailment a-

ected the 235 resi-dents o Banquil, Cer-ro said.

Tis is becauseChikungunya occursabruptly and it is somild that the personsuering rom it couldnot eel or recognizeit, Cerro said.

According to him,o the 28 cases oundin the village o Guin-tarcan, 12 o them

were conrmed to be indeedcases o Chikungunya basedon the laboratory results romthe RIM (Regional Instituteor ropical Medicine).

More oen than not, itis sometimes misdiagnosed asdengue ever as all its symp-toms are similar except thatthose aicted by Chinkungu-

nya suers joint pains, Cerrosaid.

And just like dengue ever,the carrier o vector o Chi-kungunya is a mosquito,Aedesaegypti reason why it is mis-diagnosed as dengue ever.

Cerro said that consider-ing that the symptoms o Chi-kungunya are almost similarwith that o dengue ever,environmental sanitation isthe best answer to combat theurther spread o the disease.

Based on the wesbite o the WorldHealth Organization,Chikungunya isalso endemic in Asia, to inlcude thePhilippines, and is a viral disease thatis spread by mosquitos bites.It was rstdiscovered in 1952 in anzania, Arica.
