VIRAC, CATANDUANES
Vice Gov. Teves tells FICELCO BOD:
RESIGN!!
Capitol to seek termination of ESA if CPGI fails to operate tomorrow...
Vice
Governor
Jose
“Bong” Teves, Jr. has
asked the members of the
Board of Directors of the
First Catanduanes Electric
Cooperative to resign for
their failure to resolve the
acute lack of power and
rotating brownouts now
plaguing 35,000 memberconsumers.
In an interview with the
Tribune last week, the vice
governor said the directors
should take the blame for
the current state of the grid,
with six to 12-hour brownouts hitting all 11 towns.
“It was the BOD which
approved the one-sided
Electricity Supply Agree-
ment (ESA) with the
Catanduanes Power Generation, Inc. (CPGI),” he
stressed, noting that the
cooperative, through its
officials at the board, should
have diligently evaluated
CPGI’s capability and explored other options before
going through with the deal.
He disclosed that the
Sangguniang Panlalawigan
has already authorized him
to create a fact-finding body
tasked with investigating
the ESA primarily to find
solutions to the current
power shortage and to determine the liability of both
parties with regards to the
losses suffered by the peo-
ple and the business community since May 4 when
the power interruptions began.
“We can’t just allow CPGI
to claim that they have no
liability as far as their decision to cease operations
due to lack of funds for fuel
is concerned,” Vice Gov.
Teves said, adding that he
has lost confidence in the
capability of the current
board to resolve the situation. “Ginigisa lang nila tayo
sa sariling mantika,” he
stressed.
He likewise pushed for
the junking of the power
supply contract between the
cooperative and CPGI, to
ON THEIR FIRST VISIT to Catanduanes since getting married early this year, Congressman Roman Romulo and Valenzuela City Councilor Shalani Soledad-Romulo are welcomed at the Virac airport lounge by the latter’s uncle, Vice Governor Jose “Bong” Teves
Jr. The couple, together with Mrs. Evelyn San Ramon, went to Gigmoto May 23 but stayed
in Virac for the night before leaving for home the following day.
SIV deepwell, tanker to
help solve VIWAD woes
552 benefit from
Yonkers Lions’
medical mission
The Virac Water District
is set to implement in the
soonest possible time the
construction of a deep well
in barangay San Isidro Village and the acquisition of a
water tanker to help address a worsening lack of
potable water within a large
part of its service area.
Interim General Manager
Mercy Mendez told the Tribune that the deep well,
which would include an elevated water tank, will be
drilled in a lot to be donated
by the Our Lady’s Foundation, Inc. The P2-million
estimated cost of the deep
well, which would serve as
an alternate source for residents of the barangay as
well as three subdivisions
located therein, would be
shouldered by the water
firm.
The first Philippine medical
-ophthalmologic mission of
the Yonkers Millennium
Lions Club (YMLC) of New
Yors USA proved to be a
success, with 532 visuallyimpaired patients from Viga,
Payo and Bagamanoc as
well as 20 indigent, nonPhilHealth
cataract-blind
patients being helped from
January to April 2012.
The club, headed by
President
Lion
Emma
Dumalag, PMJF, had as
local
partner
the
Catanduanes Eye Center
(CEC). Through Past President Lion Melanio Aquino
Jr,, his wife Lion Cathy, and
Mrs. Lina Villaluna, the club
and CEC joined hands in
making the activity a qualified success.
The mission was able to
provide free consultation to
On the other hand, the
bidding process is underway for the acquisition of a
water tanker that the district
would use in distributing
potable water to areas
where lack of supply has
been reported. At present,
VIWAD has been relying on
the fire truck of the Virac
fire station to deliver water
to underserved areas such
as San Isidro Village, Cavinitan, Valencia and Bigaa.
The water firm is also procuring a genset that would
be used in the operation of
the deep well at the
Catanduanes State Colleges, which has not been operating fully as brownouts
have knocked out its electrically-powered pump.
Mendez informed that
production from the three

allow other power suppliers
to come in and provide reliable energy to the people.
He bared that the president
of Sunwest Water & Electric
Co., Silvestre Natividad, is
willing to take over the 3.6megawatt bunker-fuel genset being rented by CPGI
from FICELCO and NPC,
aside from setting up their
own base-load power plant
using an idle genset at Misibis Bay Resort.
On the other hand, Governor Joseph Cua has firmly stated that he would urge
the termination of the ESA
between FICELCO and
CPGI if the latter ceases
operation of its power plant
beginning tomorrow, May
31.
This is aside from the
possibility that the provincial
government, acting on the
recommendation of a crisis
committee, could take over
the CPGI facility in the latter’s failure to deliver on the
contracted
power.
Cua
aired the veiled threat to a
CPGI official the other Friday in the presence of other
power industry representatives.
Last May 22, Cua formally requested FICELCO officer-in-charge
Rodolfo
Mendoza to furnish the capitol with a copy of the ESA
in furtherance of the provincial government’s responsibility to carefully scrutinize
the agreement in the wake
of rotating brownouts that
he said now affects not only
the entire constituency but
also threatens critically the
local economy.
“We would like to be
guided in our future course
of actions in looking at the
obligations of both parties,”
the governor stated, citing

PNP Chief approves funding for
new Bagamanoc police station
Within a few months,
members of the Philippine
National Police (PNP) in
Bagamanoc town will be
moving into a new, standard police station building
some distance away from
the municipal compound
where they have been staying for years.
Catanduanes PNP provincial director Senior Superintendent Lito Pitallano
bared the good news to the
Tribune last week. He said
that funding for the P5.1million two-storey police
station building was personally approved by PNP Director General Nicanor Bartolome, charged to the PNP
Trust Fund.
The structure will be
erected on a vacant lot near
the town’s public cemetery
just outside the poblacion
but a short distance away
from the Rural Health Unit.
Pitallano also informed
that bidding for the P4.6-
million new Bato police station building, to be built
near the municipal building,
was scheduled May 29 at
the Bicol PNP headquarters
at Camp Simeon Ola. On
the other hand, the contract
for the construction of a
similar building in San Miguel town, to be sited on a
levelled mountainside just
across the national road
from the RHU, is up for
awarding anytime soon.
Together with the San
Andres police station inaugurated last February, the
number of new police stations on the island by the
end of the year would come
to four, all built during the
term of PD Pitallano. However, he gave credit to Congressman Cesar Sarmiento
for
following
up
the
Catanduanes PNP’s pending requests for new police
stations with higher headquarters.

Among the 11 towns,
only the policemen in Caramoran and Viga are said to
be “squatting” inside municipal compounds. Mayor
Agnes Popa of Caramoran
has reportedly assured PD
Pitallano that she would
look for a suitable site outside the LGU lot while
Mayor Abelardo Abundo Sr.
has already found a location for the Viga police station along the national road
just past the NPC power
plant.
In Virac, the Our Lady’s
Foundation has reportedly
offered a site within the proposed Ecology Village but
Mayor Jose Alberto II reportedly prefers that a site
along the road near the
cockpit. A senior police official told the Tribune that an
ideal site for the Virac police would be near the Girl
Scouts headquarters but
this would require a deed of
donation from the Department of Education, which
could prove to be difficult.

SIV deepwell….

water sources of Cauayan,
Sibanhan and Padurog has
fallen by 30 percent due to
lack of rainfall, although
complaints regarding lack of
water flowing from concessionaires’ faucets are mostly confined to barangays in
the elevated part of the VIWAD service area.
The drop in water production is being amplified
by the continued existence
of illegal connections, reported to be numbering
over a thousand, that
through the years has accounted for a large portion
of the so-called NonRevenue
Water.
While
NRW percentage has fallen
in recent months, VIWAD
has yet to reduce it to below
30 percent. A massive project to replace dilapidated
distribution lines in the
poblacion is being planned
along with a renewed campaign to root out illegal connections in one barangay
after the other.
Last week, a resident of
West Garden Subdivision
Phase 3 in Bigaa published
an open letter on Facebook
complaining of insufficient
water supply for years now
that has worsened since
April.
Addressing the letter to
Congressman Cesar Sarmiento, Governor Joseph
Cua and other officials,
Jinky Lou Tabor said that
while in the past, water
flowed from the faucet during the wee hours of the
morning, they have experienced zero water supply for
the past weeks.
She expressed disappointment with the lack of
explanation from VIWAD
about
the
situation.
“Instead, we get answers
like “paputlon nyo na sana
ang connection nyo…,” Tabor bared. She suggested
that VIWAD coordinate with
the fire station to schedule
a regular delivery of water
to areas where it is needed.

The RH Bill…./from page 10
difficult to find a wife and they die old without a family to support them.
Countries with low TFRs will find it difficult, if not impossible
to recover from this condition. They employ drastic measures
that add more stress to the economy. One strategy is to encourage migration. Another is to give cash gifts, livelihood subsidies and educational benefits for every baby born. This requires, without doubt, a big financial resource. If this condition
happens to the Philippines can it afford it?
Another factor that would make the task of recovering from
low TFR extremely difficult is the effect when use of contraception as a method of population control becomes rooted in the
culture of the people. This is called “contraceptive mentality” –
a mentality that considers children as bane rather than as
boon; an obstruction to the freedom of parents, rather than as
a source of joy and inspiration.
Contraception:
One of the main tools of population control is to promote the
use of contraception. Contraception comes in different forms:
oral, injectables, implants, IUD, condoms, hesterectomy, vasectomy, spermicides and others. In order to gain acceptance
and support for contraception use, its proponents make beneficial claims and deceptive tactics.
Deceptive Tactic # 1: Use of contraception will lower abortion.
Facts:
In the United States from 1970 to 1986 (a span of 16 years)
the number of abortions jumped from 5% of live births to
42.7% of live births. (Dr. & Mrs. J.C. Wilke, “Abortion” p.
166)
In Great Britain, in 1949, a report for the Royal Commission
on Population found that the incidence of induced abortion as a percentage of all pregnancies was nine times
higher for women using contraceptives than for women
not using birth control. (James W. Sedlak/ Theresa Bell,
Vernon Kirby & Magaly Llaguno, “Deadly Deception” p.
19)
Why is this so? The same article says: “Because contraception
use gives a false “security” that no conception will occur
but all birth control devises have a failure rate from 5% to
50%.”
Deceptive Tactic # 2: Contraceptive pills, the IUD, Norplant, Depoprovera, are not abortifacients.
Facts:
Most of the devises distributed in family planning programs
and called contraceptives do not really prevent conception. Most act a percentage of the time by allowing conception to take place and then killing the already conceived human being during its first week of life. (Ibid, p.
23)
In the United States, where abortifacient action has been
known, and research has been done, it is estimated that
the following deaths of preborn children occur each year:
Birth control pills kill between 834,00 to 1,800,000
IUDs kill 3,825,000
Injectables (Depo-Provera) kill 1,200,000 to 1,800,000
Implants (Norplant) kill 2,250,000 to 2,925,000
Surgical abortion kill 1,500,000
Overall it is estimated that the 19,450,000 women who
use one or more of these devices in the US kill between 9,609,000 to 14,220,000 babies each year.
(Ibid. pp. 25-26)
These deaths of pre-born babies in the US alone due to contraception are more than the number of Jews killed by Hitler in
the whole duration of World War II. Should the Philippines now
contribute to this gruesome crime by passing the RH Bill?

HOW TO STAY SAFE IN THE WORLD TODAY
1. Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of
all fatal accidents.
2. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.
3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents
occur to pedestrians.
4. Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents
involve these forms of transportation.
5. Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals. So, ...
above all else, avoid hospitals.
BUT, …
You will be pleased to learn that only 001% of all deaths occur in
worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous
physical disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you
to be at any given point in time is at church!
And ... Bible study is safe too.
The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less.
So, ... for SAFETY'S sake Attend church, and read your Bible.

Mabuhay CJ Corona!!!!
Sabi ni Chief Justice Corona sa kanyang opening statement sa Senate Impeachment Court si Ombudsman
Conchita Carpio Morales ay
isa raw certified liar.
Nasabi ito ng hepe ng
hudikatura dahil sa panenestigo ni Morales sa Impeachment Court na may 10 to 12
million US dollar account daw
ito. Sinabi pa rin ni Morales
na may 82 bank accounts
daw ito si Chief Justice Corona.
Sa panenestigo ni Morales
ay di pa-power-power point
pa ito. At ang nasabing power point ay siya ring ginamit
ng hepe ng hudikatura at ang
lumabas ay ang kabaligtaran.
Walang 12 million si Chief
Justice at wala rin siyang 82
bank accounts. Akalain mo
82 bank accounts? Lahat ng
banko sa Pilipinas inubos?
Pati Rural Bank dito sa
Catanduanes may bank account siguro si CJ?
Sobra naman talagang
cabinubuwaon. Mag-resign
ka na raw Ombudsman Morales, sabi ni CJ. Mabuhay
CJ Corona!
*****
Sinabi pa rin ni CJ Corona
na si Ombudsman Morales
ay
nagpagamit
sa
Malacanang sa pagsisiwalat
ng mga kasinungalingan.
Katunayan sabi ni CJ na
bago lumabas ang mga pagsisiwalat ng 12 million dollar
account at 82 bank account
ni CJ sinulatan pa raw siya
nito at may nakalagay pa raw
na ito ay confidential. Confidential pero lumabas na sa
diyaryo.
Maliwanag na lahat ay
ginagawa daw ng Malakanyang ang lahat ng paninira sa kanya at ng kanyang
pamilya sa paggamit ng lahat
ng puwersa ng administrasyon pati na ng mga diyaryo
(hindi ang CT).
Hindi lang halata kundi
tahasan na lahat ay ginagawa ng kasalukuyang pamahalaan na wasakin ang
buong pagkatao ng Chief
Justice para mailuklok ang
gusto nilang Chief Justice na
puwede nilang tuhugin ang
ilong at paikot-ikutin hanggang gusto nila.
Sabi ng isang Obispo, ang
kasalukuyang
pamahalaan
ay may sayad!
*****
Sa umpisa pa lang ay lutong Makaw (Raffy) ang Impeachment kay CJ Corona.
Sabi nga ng mga congressman na hindi pumirma sa
Impeachment na ito raw ay
railroaded. Pirmahan lang ng
pirmahan ang mga kongresista na walang alam
kung ano ang laman.
Sa tanong nga ni Chief
justice sa kanyang opening
statement sa prosecution , ito
lamang po ang tanong ko sa
inyo,kung talagang malakas
ang kasong isinampa laban
sa akin, bakit kailangan pang
mag-imbento
kayo
ng
ebidensiya laban sa akin?
Sagutin po ninyo iyan sa taong bayan.
Noong una small lady
Cong. “Giant” Umali, sumunod sa gate ni Cong.
“Gate” Banal at ngayon naman iyong kay anonymous.Tqwelve million dollar
account deposit at 82 bank
accounts?
Mag-iimbento rin lang ng
mga ebidensiya iyon pang
halatang-halatang –halatanghalata. Sa lagay pala iyong
mga ebidensiyang iyon na
mga small lady na kahit anino
ay wala at kay gate ni Cong
Banal at iyong anonymous ay
paniniwalaan ng senado?
Grabeng gobyerno ini!!!
*****
Punta naman tayo sa
waiver ni Chief Justice Renato Corona. Ang sabi ng
prosecution sa pangunguna
ng malaking ilong na si
Cong,. Tupas hindi raw
makakapirma si CJ na walang pre-condition.
Nang mapirmahan na ang
waiver ni isa sa mga taga
prosecution lalo na si Sen.
Dagul Drilon na sobrang
pakitang gilas kay Pnoy dahil
sa
balitang
ito
ang
ipangtatapat kay Small But
Terrible, Vice President Jojo
Binay ay walang masabi sa
waiver.
Ang takot lang nilang halukayin ang mga milyones
nilang
dolyares.
Kung
talagang matatapang sila
(mga congressmen lalo na
iyong mga tahudan na) at
mayayabang di sana ay
tinanggap nila ang hamon at
maglabasan lahat ng mga
tago nilang dolyares.
Bakit hindi nila gayahin si
CJ nilabas ang lahat-lahat at
ipinaliwanag kung bakit wala
ito sa SALN.
Sa ngayon ay lumalabas
na ang may diperensiya ay
ang batas at sabi nga ni Sen
Chiz Escudero sa kay CJ
Corona sa isinagawa niyang
clarificatory
questioning
pagkatapos ay sinabi niya
na naghahanda na raw sila
ng panukalang batas na siyang
mag-aamyenda
sa
kasalukuyang
batas
na
maraming butas.
Magkakatalo ang mga
senator-judges sa interpretation nila sa R.A. 6713 or the
Code of Conduct and Ethical
Standards for Public Officials
and Employees, requires
government officials, including justices of the Supreme
Court, file an annual SALN
plus a financial disclosures of
among other things, real
property, its improvement,
acquisition cost, assessed
value and current fair market
value, na ipinasa noong Pebrero 1989, ang sabi , the
public has the right to know”
these assets and liabilities.
The law requires the declara-
tion of “all other assets such
as investments, cash on
hand
or
in
banks,
stocks,bonds, and the like. R.
A. 6713 has no distinction
between peso and foreign
currency bank deposits.
Iyon po ang isinasaad sa
R.A. 6713.
Samantala ang batas naman noong Martial law era ay
iba naman ang isinasaad,
R.A. 6426 or the Foreign
Currency Deposit Act of the
Philippines guarantees the
absolute confidential nature
of foreign currency deposits,
which can be examined by
another person or entity only
upon the written permission
of the depositor.
Ito
naman
po
ang
isinasaad ng R.A. 6426 na
still in effect dahil hindi pa
naman
nagkakaroon
ng
amendmento pagbabago sa
nasabing batas.
Magulo at hindi mo
masisisi ang kahit sino kung
ang sinunod ay ang isa sa
dalawang batas dahil iyon ay
mga batas na umiiral!

Some Random Thoughts

SCARBOROUGH SHOAL
Scarborough Shoal is a
group of islands and reefs
(but
mostly
rocks)
55
kilometers around with an of
area 150 square kilometers.
It has a lagoon with area of
130 km² and depth of about
15 meters. The shoal is a
protrusion from a 3,500 m.
deep abyssal plain. To the
east, the 5,000 - 6,000 meter
deep
Manila
Trench
separates the shoal from the
Philippine archipelago. It is
about 198 km west of Subic
Bay. The nearest landmass is
Palauig,
Zambales,
on
Luzon, 220 km away.
*****
The
shoal
and
its
surrounding area are rich
fishing grounds which we
claim to belong to the
Philippines. As early as the
Spanish colonization of the
Philippines,
Filipino
fishermen were already using
the area as a traditional
fishing ground and shelter
during bad weather. Several
official
Philippine
maps
published by Spain and
United States in 18th and
20th
centuries
show
Scarborough
Shoal
as
Philippine territory. The 18thcentury
map
"Carta
hydrographica
y
chorographica de las Islas
Filipinas" (1734) shows the
Scarborough Shoal then was
named as Panacot Shoal.
The map also shows the
shape of the shoal as
consistent with the current
maps available as of today.
During the 1900s Mapa
General
Islas
Filipinas,
Observatorio de Manila and
US Coast and Geodetic
Survey Map includes the
Scarborough Shoal named
as "Baju De Masinloc". In
1792, another map drawn by
the Malaspina expedition and
published in 1808 in Madrid,
Spain also showed Bajo de
Masinloc as part of Philippine
territory. The map showed
the route of the Malaspina
expedition to and around the
shoal. It was reproduced in
the Atlas of the 1939
Philippine Census, which was
published in Manila a year
later and predates the
controversial 1947 Chinese
South China Sea Claim Map
that shows no Chinese name
on it. Another topographic
map drawn in 1820 shows
the shoal, named there as
"Bajo
Scarburo",
as
a
constituent part of Sambalez
(Zambales province).
*****
Like the Spratlys about
which I also wrote a few
weeks back, the People's
Republic of China and the
Republic of China (Taiwan)
claim that the shoal was first
discovered and drawn in a
map in the Yuan Dynasty as
early as 1279 and was
historically used by Chinese
fishermen. In 1279, Guo
Shoujing,
a
Chinese
astronomer,
performed
surveying of the South China
Sea, and the surveying point
was reported to be the
Scarborough Shoal. In 1935,
China regarded the shoal as
part of the Zhongsha Islands.
In 1947, the shoal was given
the name Minzhu Jiao. In
1983, it was renamed
Huangyan Island with Minzhu
Jiao reserved as a second
name.
*****
The trouble with the
Chinese is that they are
laying claim on the basis of
ancient
history,
ignoring
proximity, and conveniently
forgetting the more recent
events that have happened
since the Yuans (a.k.a the
Mongols) conquered China.
The world order was different
then. By the 13th century,
China was an empire that
ruled much of this side of the
world. It forced surrounding
kingdoms (such as those of
Japan,
Vietnam,
Java,
Cambodia, and more) to pay
tribute to the empire, making
it a Sinocentric world order.
Things changed when the
Europeans came to Asia. The
Spanish arrived in the
Philippines,
establishing
colonial rule while the
Portuguese, the Dutch, the
British all had their share of
Southeast Asia. Even China
was
not
spared
from
invasion. In fact, it suffered
the worst humiliation any
proud empire could ever
have experienced in the
hands of pre-20th century
European invaders. It was at
this time that the world order
shifted from Sinocentric to
Eurocentric.
*****
The Philippines’ claim is
backed by more recent maps
drawn by our Spanish and
American colonizers. These
maps are still in existence
and show the disputed atoll,
without a doubt, as being part
of the Philippines. It was
known by different names at
different times in Philippine
history – Baja de Masinloc,
Panacot Shoal – but the land
mass is clearly what we now
know as Scarborough Shoal.
The point is, Chinese claims
on dynastic territories were
supplanted the moment the
Europeans claimed it as their
own. The Spaniards laid
claim to Scarborough Shoal
when they included it as a
part of their maps on the
Philippines. The Americans,
as well, included it in their
maps when they took over
from Spain.
*****
But China has sternly
warned the Philippines to
take its government vessels
off Scarborough Shoal. How
pathetic is it that other
countries can do whatever
they
want
with
the
Philippines? Logically, the
Philippines has a firmer claim
to Scarborough Shoal as it is
just 220 km away from
Zambales.
In
contrast,
China’s nearest coast is 840
km away from the disputed
shoal.
*****
So why does China insist
that Scarborough Shoal is
theirs? The answer is simple:
China thinks that it can bully
the
Philippines
into
submission,
claiming
something that isn’t theirs. It
is, perhaps, with this same
mindset that North Korea has
ignored appeals by the
Philippine government to
reroute its missile launch a
few weeks ago, away from
Philippine airspace. Unlike
Japan and South Korea who
were prepared to shoot the
missile down once it intruded
into their airspaces, the
Philippines can only meekly
ask the North Koreans to
please, please have their
missile pass some other way.
And of course, the puny
request coming from a
weakling like the Philippines,
was
unceremoniously
ignored.
How
can
the
Philippines shoot down any
missile when it can not even
feed its hungry citizens?
*****
I remember an ad many
years ago about a weakling
on the beach who cannot
complain when muscular
men kicked sand into his
face. Our beloved country is
like that weakling. It can only
tremble in front of a Goliath
like China. The Philippines
has been squeezed dry and
mismanaged not only by its
past colonizers but, more so,
by its own sons and
daughters. Truly, it has a
government “run like hell by
Filipinos”.

Catanduanes Eye Center
which formally introduced
the twenty (20) recipients of
the Free Cataract Surgery.
Recipients gave their testimonials
which
really
touched the Lions. Certificates of appreciation were
also presented to the Team
as well as the cooperating
LGUs.
Cataract surgeries were
carried
out
afterwards
which was witnessed by the
YMLC group. Patients underwent the latest state-ofthe-art cataract procedure
described as sutureless,
bloodless and under eye
drop anaesthesia. Distribution of free prescription eyeglasses to the pre-screened
patients immediately followed after lunch starting
from Viga, then to Panganiban and lastly to Bagamanoc. The team was accompanied by no less than
Mayor Abelardo Abundo of
Viga, Mayor Robert Fernandez of Panganiban and
from page 1
2,850 patients from remote
barangays of the three
towns, with some receiving
gifts from the visiting Lions.
The recipients of the free
cataract surgery were operated at the CEC by its medical director and ophthalmologist Dr. Joselito Urgel,
with the surgical and support team composed of
Christine Aguilar, RN, Maribel Olino, RN, Maristela
Ubalde, OA, Lourdes Eusebio-Barro, RPh, Mary

What secrets does the ESA hold?
What is there in the original Electricity Supply Agreement (ESA)
executed between the First Catanduanes Electric Cooperative, Inc.
(FICELCO) and the parent company of Catanduanes Power
Generation, Inc. (CPGI), Power One Corporation, that to this day,
not a soul outside the two companies as well as the Energy
Regulatory Commission has read it in full?
It is the ESA which CPGI President Joselito Abrogar quotes as
having a no-fault provision that he uses to claim that CPGI cannot
be sued to failing to deliver in full the contracted 22.6 million
kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.
Clause 13.2 of the unseen ESA reportedly provides that “no
failure or omission by a party to carry out or observe any of its
material obligations shall give rise to any claim by the other party,
or be deemed to be a breach of the agreement if the same shall be
cause or arise out of any circumstance beyond the reasonable
control of the part which effectively prevents it from performing its
obligations, including any other event, matter or thing.”
With the clause, CPGI in effect claims it had no control over the
ERC’s decision to approve a lower fuel heat rate, although the ERC
order provisionally approving the joint application of CPGI and
FICELCO squarely blames CPGI for not presenting actual data
covering the operation of the 3.6-megawatt bunker-fuel genset.
Now that Governor Joseph Cua, in the exercise of his
responsibility to safeguard the interests of his constituents, has
decided to take a closer look at the ESA and determine whether
either or both companies could be held liable for the power
interruptions that has made life on this paradise island a preview of
hell, the FICELCO management is taking pains to keep the contract
from public view.
According to a capitol source, when the governor formally asked
for a copy of the ESA, a cooperative official sent over two
documents. The papers, however, were not the real thing. Instead,
what the co-op factotum presented were a copy of the original
application with ERC and a separate copy of the ERC order
approving the application provisionally.
Why the bright boys at the co-op tried to put one over the
governor is beyond comprehension but they just pushed Cua’s
patience beyond its limits.
A primary reason could be this: the original ESA, signed on Nov.
15, 2003 between FICELCO’s then board president Bienvenido
Berjuega and Power One president Fernando Gonzaga, allegedly
has a confidentiality provision which prohibits both parties from
bringing it out to public view. This was indicated then to the
Tribune by one of Power One’s top officials the same day after the
deal was signed at Marinawa.
CPGI was formed by Power One as its project company and took
over Power One’s obligation of setting up generation facilities in an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement on Jan. 15, 2008, in a joint
venture with FLG Management and Development Corp. and Theta
Petroleum Corporation.
FLG is headed by GMA-7 majority stockholder , board chair and
CEO Felipe L. Gozon while Theta Petroleum is owned by his son-inlaw Joselito Abrogar, whose wife is president of GMA Films. This
bit of information explains why some lucky FICELCO directors are
able to recommend Catandunganons for jobs at the TV network.
The capitol should endeavour to secure copies of the original
ESA as well as the assignment agreement not from FICELCO,
which is apparently protecting its “staunch partner”, but from the
ERC where copies were supposedly submitted in January 2011.
If indeed the ESA carried a confidentiality provision, responsible
FICELCO officials who approved the same should face
administrative charges before the NEA for keeping the memberconsumers in the dark in violation of existing rules on
transparency of transactions in public utilities.

BFP official did not tell the truth
Virac
Councilor
Rene
Abella was furious that
Deputy
Provincial
Fire
Marshall Rico Brizuela did
not tell the truth with the
regards to the fire truck that
was damaged during the
response to the fire that hit a
residential building in Rawis
last May 10.
During the Sangguniang
Bayan’s inquiry held the other
Tuesday,
Abella
had
questioned the performance
of local firefighters, its
untimely response to the
incident just 100 meters
away, and, of course, the illfated fire truck. He said these
concerns should be properly
addressed as people’s lives
are at stake, recalling that it
took the firemen almost 30
minutes to respond to a fire in
Magnesia.
In response, Insp. Brizuela
said no one reported to their
office, that when someone
did at 8:55 P.M. the BFP’s
two trucks were at the scene
in 10 minutes. His men
secured the occupants of the
house while he called for
assistance from Bato and
San Andres fire stations. He
claimed that the 32-year old
big fire truck was not able to
pump water as it overheated
while the fallen electrical wire
caused it to malfunction.
He added that his office
had already requested the
DILG for a new fire truck but
the latter replied that it had
limited funds to provide fire
trucks for every town.
The municipal council had
already agreed to pass a
resolution requesting DILG
for a new fire truck and
accessory equipment and
had already adjourned the
inquiry
when
a
local
mediaman
presented
Councilor Abella with a
Q
photograph of the fire scene
showing the BFP truck
already on fire while the
power line was still in place,
belying Brizuela’s claim.

MOTHER. A young man was
walking
through
a
supermarket to pick up a few
things when he noticed an
old lady following him around.
Thinking nothing of it, he
ignored her and continued
on. Finally he went to the
checkout line, but she got in
front of him.
"Pardon me," she said,
"I'm sorry if my staring at you
has
made
you
feel
uncomfortable. It's just that
you look just like my son,
who just died recently."
"I'm very sorry," replied the
young
man,
"is
there
anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "As I'm
leaving, can you say 'Good
bye, Mother!' ? It would make
me feel so much better."
"Sure,"
answered
the
young man.
As the old woman was
leaving, he called out,
"Goodbye, Mother!"
As he stepped up to the
checkout counter, he saw
that his total was $127.50.
"How can that be?" he
asked, "I only purchased a
few things!"
"Your mother said that you
would pay for her," said the
clerk.

Interes sa pautang ng VisionBank, bababa!
Sa nalalapit na mga buwan ay bababaan ang interes ng pautang sa VisionBank. Tiyak na
ito kung kaya nakikita itong isang napakalaking ginhawa para sa mga loyal na miyembro at
kliyente ng bangko.
Paano ito mangyayari?
Sa pinaka-payak na eksplinasyon, ang kasalukuyang pag-compute ng interes ay sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng flat rate.
Ang flat rate system ay kinukuha ang kabuuhan ng principal amount at interes na kadalasan
ay per annum. Kapag nakuha ang lahat ng perang kailangang bayaran, hinahati ito sa bilang
ng buwang repayment schedule ayon sa napagkasunduan, at doon hinahango ang karampatang bayaran kada buwan o kada linggo.
Kung kaya halimbawa ay P10,000 ang utang at ito'y may interes na 20% per annum, ang
kabuuang bayaran ay P12,000 (P10,000 principal + P2,000 interes). Kung ang repayment
schedule ay isang taon, ang babayaran kada buwan ay P1,000 (dahil P1,000 x 12 = P12,000).
Simple at praktikal.
Samantala, ang pagbaba ng interes ay sa pamamagitan ng pag-compute base sa diminishing balance.
Base na rin sa halimbawang ipinakita natin kanina, heto ang malaking diperensya:
Ang diminishing balance ay pumapataw ng interes hindi sa kabuuang bayaran kundi batay
sa balanse ng pagkakautang habang patuloy itong binabayaran.
Kung halimbawa sa P12,000 na bayaran, ang unang repayment ay P2,000, ang babasehan
ng interest rate sa susunod na buwan ay hindi na P12,000 kundi ang balanse nang P10,000.
Samakatuwid, sa susunod na bayaran, halimbawa P2,000 na naman, ang interest rate na
babasehan ay hindi na P10,000 kundi P8,000 na siyang balanse pagkaraan ng dalawang buwan.
Kaya habang lumiliit ang balanse sa utang, mas lumiliit din ang interes na binabayaran.
Sa pangkalahatan ay tinatayang mas makakatipid ang mga miyembro at kliyente ng higit
40% sa kanilang bayaran base sa kasalukuyang sistema.
"Di ba napakalaking regalo ito para sa mga tumatangkilik sa VisionBank?
Ipapaalam ng bangko ang umpisa ng bagong sistema sa mga susunod na buwan.
Abangan!
Mga foreclosed properties ng VisionBank, ibinibenta na
Maaaring sumangguni sa VisionBank sa Bato o 'di kaya'y sa Other Banking Office (OBO)
nito sa Virac kung nais niyong tumingin ng mga real estate properties na magaganda ang presyo.
May mga ilang properties ang VisionBank galing sa mga foreclosed accounts nito, at ito'y
bukas na para sa mga gustong mag-shopping ng lupain.

Tiyak na ang planong medical at dental mission ng ARDCI na gaganapin sa Bulan/Matnog,
Sorsogon sa darating na ika-30 ng Hunyo 2012.
Halos isang libong pamilya ang planong maabot ng mission na ito, kung saan libreng ibibigay ang medical check-up, pabunot ng ngipin, at mga kailangang gamot.
Pagkatapos sa Sorsogon ay ikakasa rin ang parehas na mission sa Albay at Camarines
Sur.
Ang medical at Dental Mission ay siguradong magiging tatak ng 'katuwang sa kabuhayan"
sa mga darating na panahon.

Man sued for mauling tanod Virac farmer
during X’mas party in Tokio stabbed dead
A criminal charge for
frustrated homicide has
been filed against a resident of barangay Tokio in
Pandan town for allegedly
hitting a “tanod” during a
Christmas party last December 2011.
Provincial
Prosecutor
Eugenio Abion recommended a bail of P24,000.00 for
the temporary liberty of Jerry Ternida of barangay
Wagdas, after he found
probable cause to charge
the latter for the assault on
barangay kagawad Carmelo Trinidad at the Tokio
plaza on Dec, 23, 2011.
Records filed at the Regional Trial Court state that
at 11 P.M. of said day, Trinidad and his wife were attending the Christmas party
when Jerry’s son Eric creat-
ed trouble outside the plaza. Being a barangay official, Trinidad tried to pacify
Eric but his father Jerry appeared armed with a steel
pipe and a bolo, saying,
“Kung sino yo ma-aksyon,
iso yo kalaban ninyo akong
bata!”
Jerry then went to Trinidad and hit his head with
the steel pipe, causing the
official to fall to the ground
unconscious. Jerry continued to batter Trinidad while
Eric and companion Zandro
Masagca were watching.
Afterwards, Jerry and his
son boarded a motorcycle
driven by Masagca and
went towards Wagdas. The
victim sustained contusions,
hematoma and

THE RH BILL: THE STRAIGHT
PATH TO PERDITION
By Florencio A. Garcia
(Third of a Series)
Total Fertility Rate: (TFR)
Total Fertility Rate is the number of babies each
woman of child-bearing age will bear in her lifetime. The
minimum TFR that a country must have in order that it is
able to replace its population is 2.1. A country that has less
than 2.1 TFR means that its population will be growing older and older. This situation will result in a great stress to the
economy of the country and its eventual collapse if no drastic remedial measure is applied.
In 2009 the average TFR of the entire world is
2.52. The highest TFR is that of Niger at 7.07 The Philippines is ranked 65 from the highest at 3.03. The four states
with the lowest TFRs are South Korea at 1.28, Singapore at
1.22, Hong Kong at 1.04 and Macau at 0.97. Out of 197
countries listed, 81 are below TFR 2.1. (Source: United Nations World Population Prospects)
Interesting to note is the case of China which is
ranked 150 in the above list with a TFR of 1.77. China
which implemented its one-child policy is now experiencing
an imbalance of male-female population. There are more
males than females because the Chinese prefer male children and because they are allowed only one child per family, this population imbalance resulted. Many men find it

A 48-year old farmer was
declared dead on arrival at
the provincial hospital the
other Sunday after he was
stabbed in the street in
Buyo, Virac.
The police said that a
certain Pedro Panti, 74,
also a farmer, was armed
with
a
bolo
and
a
“supnit” (knife used in stripping abaca fiber) when he
attacked the victim, Mariano
Tabuzo, 48, at 3 P.M. of
May 20 while the latter was
sitting on a chair just outside his residence. Prior to
the assault, a heated argument had erupted between
the two men due to an old
grudge. Tabuzo sustained

2 flee rape,
seduction
charges
Two persons have apparently gone to undisclosed
locations after being separately charged with seduction and rape before the
Provincial Prosecution Office, which filed the cases
before the Regional Trial
Court recently.
Deputy Provincial Prosecutor Rizalina Tanon recommended the filing of the
information for rape against
Antonio
“Tony
Paks”
Desuyo, who was a resident of Capilihan, Virac
before he went on the lam.
Bail for his provisional liberty was recommended at
P120,000.00.
According to the resolution, the four-year old victim
was watching her two brother catch fish when Desuyo,
whom she called “Gurang”,
sat beside her. He then
placed her arm on her
shoulders, touched and
inserted his finger into her
private part, an incident
witnessed by her two playmates. He stopped only
when her two brothers finished catching fish. The
victim said she felt pain and
her private part bled.
Her parents learned of
the incident from her brother as well as her two playmates, who confirmed what
the victim said. The police
arrested Desuyo, who was
positively identified by the
girl at the police station.
Meanwhile, an 18-year
old resident of Mayngaway,
San Andres is facing a
criminal charge for seduction of minor after a 15-year
old girl admitted having sexual intercourse with him last
January. The duo had become sweethearts on Dec.
8, 2011, three days after
exchanging text messages.
The complaint stated that
on Jan. 24, 2012, Mary Ann
(not her real name) asked
permission from her mother
to go to her classmate. The
girl instead met her boyfriend, Arjay Bereso, near
the church. They went to
Yocti, where they attended
the wake for his dead relative. At 10 P.M., he asked
her to go out to buy softdrinks but the store was
already closed. He brought
her to an abandoned house
where they had sexual congress. The girl came home
in the afternoon of the following day.
During investigation by
the police, Mary Ann said
she was not forced to have
sexual intercourse with Arjay because she trusted him
and that he told her he
would be liable for whatever
happened.
Based on the evidence,
Prosecutor
Tanon
said
