BIRs new rule on receipts draws mixed reactions

TACLOBAN CITY- Business groups based in this city have dierent takes on the new and controversial rule of the Bureau of Internal Revenue on issuances of new receipts.
For Go Tic Ching, who is the president of the Tacloban Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he said that they are not opposing this new policy of the BIR. The chamber is supporting this policy of the BIR. In fact, all the 120 members of the chambers were already informed about its (effectivity) and have agreed to comply with it, Ching said. He added that the new policy is for the good of the country and the government as its intention is to minimize if not solve cases of issuances of fake receipts, among others. However, a businessman who belong to the more than 100 Leyte Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), issued his strong opposition to this new policy of the BIR. While we cannot do anything about it except to eventually follow it, its a lot hassle on our part. Imagine, its already middle part of the year and we have to print new receipts just to comply with this BIR rule, the businessman, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisal from the BIR, said. The businessman, who once served as an official of the LCCI, said that hundreds of booklets that he had printed earlier would go to waste because of this new policy of the BIR.

The commercial building that was totally consumed by fire was the Old Catarman Market Chenda Comercial Building located Brgy. Narra near Jollibee Fast Food and Land Bank of the Philippines. The fire started at around 8:20 a.m. and was declared under control at around 9:45 a.m. In an interview, Fire Insp. Hermy Bolosino disclosed that they experienced a hard time in putting off the fire because of the low pressure of the water at the fire hydrant coming from the Catarman Water District. Diniploy ko agad ang lahat na fire truck natin kaya lang nahirapan kami dahil sa kakulangan ng tubig mula sa Catarman Water District, Bolosino said. The razed commercial building , which was owned by the local government of Catarman, was occupied by 15 stalls like groceries, rice traders, a restaurant, a bakeshop and others. As of press time,fire officials has yet to disclose the damage caused by the fire incident but believed to run into millions of pesos. Fire Insp. Bolosino also disclosed that based on their initial investigation, the fire probably originated from a faulty electrical wiring at the second floor of the two-storey commercial building.

Pulis Got Talent to showcase EV cops singing, dancing skills

CAMP KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte Ever heard a policeman singing to the latest pop tune? Maybe. But how about cops dancing to the groove of Psys Gentleman, Zedds Clarity or even the Harlem Shake? Beat it? For a change, instead of seeing men in uniform patrolling the streets catching criminals, the public will witness the singing and dancing talents of police officers as the Police Regional Office 8 (PRO8) will sponsor a one-night show as part of the celebration of the Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival in honor of the Sr. Sto. Nio de Leyte in the evening of June 12, coinciding with the commemoration of the nations independence. Dubbed as Pulis Got Talent, the show is a singing and group dance competition between PRO8 personnel from the Regional Headquarters, Police Provincial Offices, City Police Offices, Regional Public Safety Battalion 8 and the different National Support Units based in the region and will be held at Tacloban Citys RTR Festival Parks. Aside from investigation and law enforcement skills, our policemen also have singing and dancing talents and they will be showing it in a friendly contest, said Chief Supt.

PRO8 steps up security for Independence Day celebration

CAMP KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte - With the election fever gone, the Filipino has shifted to festivities and celebrations for the 115th Independence Day today. These celebrations include flag-raising and wreathlaying ceremonies, parades, and other historical and cultural activities, says PS/Supt. Roel Balintong Acidre, chief, Regional Police Community Relations Division (PCRD). The celebrations might be taken advantage of by the activist/leftist groups which may exploit the event to embarrass the government or instigate violence. PNP PRO8, depending on the prevailing situation, may raise its security alert status ahead of the 115th Independence Day celebrations nationwide out of concerns of a possible criminal acts by lawless elements. We will coordinate with the national and local organizing committees. We will strengthen police visibility and intensify checkpoint operations and mobile and foot patrol in accordance with the Police Integrated Patrol System in all places of engagement in connection with the Independence Day celebration, Acidre said. The PNP will strictly implement the no permit, no rally policy in anticipation of more mass actions in the region. This is to ensure that rallyists will limit their actions within the bounds of the law. Maximum tolerance will be the guiding principle when confronted by any situation that requires police action. Dialogue with the leaders of the rallyists will also be done in this regard. With this, the public is assured of a safe environment during the celebration of Independence Day. (PR)

would not follow this new policy. Thats too much, he said. He also said the new policy would only penalize the legitimate businessmen and not the so-called flight-by-night businessmen. They could easily print their (bogus) receipts, he said. It was learned from him that as early as March, the LCCI has passed a resolution urging the BIR to delay the implementation of Revenue Regulation Num-

ber 18-2012 until the end of December. Obviously, he said, their appeal was unheeded by the BIR as its implementation would start this July 1. Under the new policy of the BIR, business owners have to use new receipts effective July 1 or face a sanction. Business owners have also to apply for a new authority to print (ATP) receipts with the BIR not later than April 30 and should issue and use and new receipts starting next month.

TACLOBAN CITY The Department of Education (DepEd) has raised concerns on the presence of fatty and salty foods in school canteens as it deters students growth and mental development. DepEd regional supervising nutritionist Renelda Salar said that many public schools disregard orders by selling foods that are not ideal for growing children. Salar said that the DepEd has been reiterating the promotion of good nutrition by echoing the contents of Department Orders issued on 2005 and 2007. On the paper, we are complete with instructions but the problem is the implementation. Schools are still selling softdrinks and junk foods even if it is not allowed, she said. The problem is not just confined to unhealthy foods but also the absence of canteens inside the school premises, thus prompting children to buy foods outside, which is not totally safe for consumption. Citing the latest survey, Salar said that of the more than 3,000 public schools in the region, only 34% have school -managed canteens, and only 23% have cooperative-managed canteens. Every school must have a school canteen, no matter how small the school and how modest the canteen. In schools

DepED raises concern on presence of fatty, salty foods in school canteens

without canteen, school heads and Parent-Teacher Community Association should take steps to establish one, Salar added. Among the recommended foods in school canteens are an assortment of fruits, biscuits, juices, sandwiches or milk. Last year, malnutrition is one of the top five health concerns among students in Eastern Visayas with 25,957 elementary pupils were identified as underweight. The DepEd has no figure for secondary. The National Nutrition Council told parents and teachers to be cautious of childrens food intake in schools or else suffer the consequence of dental caries, obesity, and nutrient deficiency. For lunch, parents should prepare easy-to-pack-and-handle dishes fried fish or meat, steamed vegetables, and fruits, Dilao said. The official warned against consumption of soft drinks because of its high sugar content. She said that drinking a glass of soft drink is equivalent to taking fives teaspoons of sugar. Also high in sugar are candies, jam, softdrinks, pastries, doughnuts and cakes. The NNC also discouraged children from unhealthy foods such as fried foods, marbled meat, cakes and pastries, chocolate bars, creamed dishes, instant noodles and junk foods. (SARWELL Q. MENIANO)

112 years hence: Independent court

he countrys third branch of government, co-equal with the executive and legislative branches, celebrated yesterday its 112th year of existence. With over a century of being a final legal arbiter, the Supreme Court of the Philippines has evolved through time in keeping with the challenges of human undertakings here and abroad. Not to say that the Courts decisions are swayed by inevitable forces, largely political and economic, the countrys rich jurisprudence is a summation of the transformation of the countrys supposedly most independent arm of this democratic

state. From procedural to substantive laws, the changes in the way the Court has rendered its resolution on questions of law and decisions on controversies affecting constitutionality of edicts, other issuances and other social activities, are reflective of the amendments these laws underwent. Although not drastic, these changes were influences of global trends and discovery of loopholes and lapses of previous laws that needs be ironed out. This explains the dictum that law is dynamic. Laws, too like other government undertakings, are conto page 5

A colorful life worth emulating

Engineer Saylito Mondares Purisima turns 54 today, and oh, what a glorious life- in fact a very inspiring one. Lito, as friends, peers and close acquaintances, fondly address him, is a walking example of how to rise from the quagmire of want and need experienced in his younger days and coming to a relatively being successful professional, businessperson and a family man that he is now. Needless for me to discuss details how he lived his life from the time he left Placer, Masbate after graduating high school, sought a job in machine shops, finance his study for Mechanical Engineering and eventually succeeded and becomes one. He pursued contracts and seek payments for contracts job done in Leyte, Cebu, Bohol, Palawan, Iloilo etc. that SMP Engineering Work his main establishment generates, can provide in order that employees get paid. Worthy of note is he took into his custody one deaf-mute from Masbate, a very poor man, brought him to Isabel and assigns him simple chores, like sweeping the yard, cutting grass and paid handsomely for his status and he appears happy. There are a lot more one can observe in the man. I foresee that 6 years from now, at 60 he may opt to simply retire and enjoy fruits of labor, but I doubt.

They came mostly from needy families on the local area and other provinces nearby. He does not dismiss employees unless for good reasons.

These players are in the all-stars selection of the PBA teams. In preparation for the FIBA-Asia tournament, Smart-Gilas will play the European champion Lilthonarian national under 20 team twice. The advantage of the Smart-Gilas team in the FIBA-Asia tournament is the home court support of the Filipinos as we are the host country of this basketball tournament of Asian countries participated by powerhouse teams of China, Iran and South Korea.

Independence?
a look at our present setup, we seem to have lost our worthiness to the cause our heroes fought for. Our country may have been granted independence during that historical rites more than a century ago but we seem to have lost its essence over the years. After that raising of our countrys flag as a sign of our independence during that historic event on June 12, 1898, it looks like we have bungled the great benefits of that feat. Our political and economic landscape had been bastardized by foreign intervention. We have been held captive by our foreign creditors to the point that we no longer have the right to set the course of our destiny. We owe so much and we have to pay at all costs even if it means trampling upon our constitution and our sovereignty. On another front, the independence that we have may have pushed us too far in the exercise and enjoyment of our freedom. We are a people that are prone to abusing the freedom and liberty that we have. Our democratic setup had been chaotic in many instances because of our tendency to play beyond the limits of our freedom. By and large, people with vested interests and hidden agenda are toying with our freedom to do the things as they will without regard to its consequences to our democratic institutions that ensures the protection of our freedom and . . . independence?

stantly improving in keeping with the developments in human undertakings. Although be it dynamic, laws should not contravene with any of the provisions of the fundamental law of the land - the Philippine Constitution lest they be declared invalid. Thus, the justices of the High Tribunal, who for now are led by the first lady and young Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes PA Sereno, are too cautious in ruling on controversies pend-

ing before the Court. Like the judiciary icon a blind-folded woman carrying a weighing scale, the justices are deemed unmindful of their affiliations, predilections and social attachments in handing down their verdict. They only have the laws to guide them in decisionmaking and control their way of thinking. Justices in appellate courts as well as judges in the lower courts are expected to act in the same way. They are bound to noth-

ing or to no one but their loyalty to their country and countrymen. They should pen their decisions with no mental reservation. This makes the judiciary independent from the dictate of strong external influences. The genuine independence of the entire judiciary will make the celebration of the Supreme Courts 112 years of existence worthy. The celebration should go beyond partying and social graces.

June 12, 2013 - Wednesday of the 10th Week in Ordinary Time 2 Cor 3:4-11; Ps 99; Mt 5:17-19 THE OLD LAW AND THE NEW
Jesus said to his disciples: Do not think that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets. I have come, not to abolish them, but to fulfill them. Of this much I assure you: until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter of the law, not the smallest part of the letter, shall be done away with until it all comes true. That is why whoever breaks the least significant of these commands and teaches others to do so shall be called least in the kingdom of God. Whoever fulfills and teaches these commands shall be great in the kingdom of God.

Our generation is blessed with the independence that our forefathers fought for with their lives. What we now enjoy is the fruit of the blood and lives that were offered at the altar of our freedom and democracy. After centuries of slavery under abusive colonial masters, our brave countrymen fought long battles that won us back our lost freedom. Armed with inferior weapons, our heroes fought with courage against the artillery of our foreign oppressors. They could have opted the convenient road to selfpreservation and lived longer under the rule of their foreign masters. But our forebears decided to fight a justified war that will win freedom for the future generations to enjoy. Ours was that future generation that now reaps the benefits of their hard won battles. As we mark this 115th commemoration of that momentous victory for our freedom and independence, it is but apt to look back at the heroic act our heroes took. Their unselfish concern for our generation led to the attainment of our indepen-

dence from our oppressors. We were able to establish our own government and fly our flag independently. Our colonizers placed us under an authoritarian regime that considered us no more than slaves under the Spanish crown. After the Spanish rule, we still have to be ruled by American and Japanese invaders before we obtained liberation by a victory in a war whose credit was grabbed by the Americans, obliterating as it did, the win of our Filipino soldiers. We could take the sacrifice of our forefathers as their decisive move to free us from the burden of oppression and slavery. They risked their lives fighting a battle against well armed foreign invaders, so that we could enjoy a life of freedom and liberty. We got an inheritance that was the offshoot of their struggles and sacrifices to see our nation and people free. We got our independence in the battle seven years more than a century ago. We have turned undeserving of that supreme sacrifice but we got our share of the freedom and liberty we inherited no matter what. Taking

he works, works and works all the days of his life that a friend once expressed this observation. If Lito would be given punishment for a wrong he may do, simply let him stay in his home, provide him all the things he needs but simply let him stay put; enjoy rocking chair, provide him all sorts of entertainment like movies, music and all kinds of food but let him do nothing..certainly he will get sick. I agree with that observation. Lito is a man of action; actions that generate good results not solely for himself and his family but including people working under his establishment and others who need his help in the community and most of them unannounced and therefore unheard. Happy Birthday, my Kumpare!

THE FAITHFUL SERVANT

The commandments of God are important aids to us and we need to accept them with the same importance that God attaches to then. The way I observe the commandments is something that I cannot hide. I can deceive others for a while by pretending to be faithful to God but if my fidelity is lacking, it will show in the way I talk and in the way I act. Jesus makes it clear that my observance of the commandments is not for me alone. It is a part of my being, the light of the world. I am known as a Christian. Others depend on me for good guidance by my good example. If I really want to be great in the kingdom of God, I must observe Gods law. (Daily Gospel Now by R.Sullivan, OMI, published by Paulines.

and other process of this Honorable Court at their respective officers in the City Hall, Building, Ormoc City. 3. Individual defendants (defendants) are single, Filipinos and residents of Ormoc city as per entries in Original Certificate of Title No. 0-592 issued by the Register of Deeds, Ormoc City for Lot No. 689. However, said defendants have never been in Ormoc City. If not, they have long left Ormoc City before the second World War and their present whereabouts are not known. 4. Defendants appeared in OCT No. 0-592 as the owners of the following parcel of land: A parcel of land, designated as Cadastral Lot No. 689, situated at corner Burgos and Mabini Streets, Ormoc City. Bounded on the North by Mabini Street and Lot No. 687; on the South by Burgos Street; on the east by Lot No. 691 and on the West by Mabini Street; Containing an area of THREE HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT (338) square meters, more or less, covered under Tax Declaration No. 01003-00019 R-10 and covered by Original Certificate of Title No. 0-592 issued by National land Titles and Deeds Registration Administration and the registered of Deeds of Ormoc City the declared under the name of Segundo Garcia. A copy of the title is hereto attached as Annex A. 5. Originally, the owner of the aforesaid land was the late Segundo Garcia Fernandez (Segundo). 6. In 1928, due to illness, Segundo left for Spain and has not returned up to the present. While in Spain, he left two (2) administrators for the subject land who both died in 1931. After the death of his administrators, Segundo abandoned the subject land. 7. Segundo allegedly had three (3) children, the defendants herein, who were Spanish citizens and were all the time residing in Spain. 8. As shown in the decision of the Supreme Court dated February 29, 1988 in a case docketed as G.R. No. 60443 emanating from the cadastral proceedings involving the subject land and other records from the cadastral proceedings, more than fifty years ago, in 1932, the Director of Lands filed with the Court of First Instance of Leyte a petition for the settlement and adjudication of titles over certain lands in the Ormoc Cadastre. One of the lands included in the proceeding was Lot No. 689 located in the town (now city) or Ormoc, containing an area of 338 square meters, more or less. For several years, no one laid claim to this Lot No. 689 despite notice having been given in accordance with law. In 1932, the cadastral court ordered all claimants to file their claims for the subject lot on February 4, 1933. Despite several extensions granted by the Court motu propio, nobody filed a claim on the said lot. So, an order of general default was issued and the dismissal of the cadastral proceeding as regards said lot was ultimately entered. 9. On July 22, 1940, defendants who stated that they were the legitimate children and only heirs of the deceased spouses, Segundo Garcia Fernandez and Eulogia Alvarez, filed a petition with the Court of Appeals to lift the order of default based on Section 513 of the old Code of Civil Proce-

dure which was however dismissed on technical grounds by decision rendered on September 27, 1940. 10. In 1940, after receiving the adverse resolution of the Court of Appeals, defendants abandoned the land believing that they could no longer claim any right over the land since their petition was dismissed. 11. Defendants were never citizens of the Philippines; they were never in actual, open, continuous, exclusive and adverse possession of the land in the concept as owner. Defendants were all the time living in Spain as they were residents and citizens of Spain. In fact, defendants are not in possession of the title of the land. In addition, during the cadastral proceedings and the proceedings before the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, defendants never appeared in person. In fact, in his letter-reply to Atty. Teoduro T. Carvajal, the Spanish consul to the Philippines stated that as per letter of the Mayor of Langreo, Asturias, Spain, there is no record in the Municipality of Langreo, Asturias, Spain that defendants were residing thereat from 1981 up to 1988. A copy of the letter is hereto attached as Annex B. 12. Lot No. 689 is a private property. However, having been abandoned by the original owner, the land is one without an owner; and as such, it pertains to the state as part of the patrimonial property under the principle that lands without an owner belong to the state. While the same cannot be acquired by occupation under Article 714 of the New Civil Code, it can be acquired by the law on acquisition prescription as provided in Article 1113 of the New Civil Code. Said Article 1113 provides thus: All things which are within the commerce of man are susceptible of prescription, unless otherwise provided. Property of the state or of any of its subdivisions not patrimonial in character shall not be object of prescription. 13. Plaintiffs have been in open, continuous, adverse and peaceful possession in concept of an owner of the subject parcel of land (Lot 689 located in Burgos St., Ormoc City) for more than fifty (50) years. 14. Plaintiffs have paid the taxes due thereon. 15. Plaintiffs have not been sued over the subject lot as they never received judicial summons involving the subject lot. 16. As such, plaintiffs have acquired ownership over the land by virtue of the law on acquisitive prescription as provided in Art. 1137 of the New Civil Code which provides thus: Art. 1137. Ownership and other real rights over immovables also prescribe through uninterrupted adverse possession thereof for thirty years, without need of title for of good faith (1959a) 17. Original Certificate of Title No. 0-592 for Lot 689 is null and void inasmuch as defendants were never citizens of the Philippines; they were never in actual, open, continuous, exclusive and adverse possession of the land in the concept as owner. Defendants were all the time residents and citizens of Spain. In fact, defendants are not in possession of the title of the land. In addition, there is no showing that during the cadastral proceedings and the proceedings before the Court of Appeals

Practically almost all factors that make development plans succeed will be available in Isabel,Leyte when Mayorelect Gregorio Greg Cerillo formally assumes the position come noon of June 30, 2013. The incoming mayor is not a neophyte in public service. In fact, local government operations are within his fingertips, especially in the agroindustrial town of Isabel, his residence. He served as municipal secretary, was elected as Sangguniang Bayan member and vice mayor in the near past. On his own personal circumstances, Mayor-elect Cerillo finished proper education, a Bachelor of Laws graduate and nurtures a burning desire to make a difference in local government leadership. He will be surrounded by

High hopes of more and faster development in Isabel expected under Greg Cerillo
development-oriented experts who will be ready and at his instant call if necessary, advice him in many aspects of development. Top of the heap of capable advisers include, Engr. Joffrey Hapitan, vice president, PHLPHOS, Engr. Saylito M. Purisima, former Isabel municipal councilor and municipal administrator, now a successful businessman; Monching Tan and a host of others, all trusted loyalists of Pepito Alvarez, PHILPHOS top man, now a newly elected governor of Palawan. These outstanding personalities were responsible one way or the other in the spectacular victory of Cerillo. In a chance interaction with Mayor-elect Cerillo, he bared few of his plans what is in store for Isabelanos under his term. There are idle lands in Isabel to be developed which could generate employment to marginalized sector, with some 50 hectares earmarked for bioethanol propagation. Reelected Councilor Dan Tentativa, the mayor-elects party -mate, will also propose similar plan that of propagating rubber trees in these idle lands. Doubly inspiring for Mayor-elect Cerillo and his team, is the promise of full support from Governor-elect Pepito Alvarez, Buddy Zamora, chairman of the board (PHILPHOS) Angel Veloso, chairman of the board (PASAR) and Bienvenido Santos president and chief executive officer of PHILPHOS. They paid a short visit to Isabel recently primarily to congratulate the newly- elected officials that he ably supported and of course expressed the above pledge.

This is not something new of this philanthropic character of the industrial estate in the region. They have always been supportive of local officials in Isabel since this was established, a corporate social responsibility of the LIDE establishment being situated in the municipality of Isabel, Joffrey Hapitan enthused. The Leyte Industrial Development Estate (LIDE) houses PASAR and PHILPHOS. PHILPHOS donated several hectares of land where

the new Isabel bus terminal stands and that of the Isabel hospital, and a lot more under incumbent Mayor Jun Medina . In fact, this is probably the only local government in the land that has most often than not, is always successfully granted and provided advance payment of taxes by the millions from PHILPHOS to jack up much needed resources of Isabel in implementing its development projects. Under this new leadership, Isabelanos can heave a sigh of relief which happy days are ahead for them under the leadership of Mayor Cerillo. (ALVIN GZ. ARPON)

More books needed at People Center Library

TACLOBAN CITY Renor Dauag, regional representative of the Presidential Commission for Good Governance (PCGG-8), said his office is open for donation of books at the People Center Library (PCL) in response to some college students plea for PCL to acquire more latest books needed for research purposes. Many came to the office already, saying they are willing to donate some books. But, nobody of them came back to donate. To whoever wants to donate books, they are always welcomed, said Dauag. To date, the PCL has not acquired new set of books for this year as there is no enough budget allotted for its acquisition of books. What we are after today is only the maintenance of the PCL, the People Center and the Sto. Nio Shrine. In the case of the PCL, we cannot acquire new set of books because there is no budget given by the government, Dauag added. The total fund of the PCGG-8 goes to the payment of electric bills, the salary of its employees and others, leaving nothing for the acquisition of new books, he said. Although PCL has lots of books ranging from different subjects like History, Tourism, Politics and the like, students who come to the said library for research purposes are still not satisfied. We are looking for specific textbooks at the People Center Library, but we really cannot find any. The books that are there are the general references books. I hope they can also provide such books, a college student said. In light of this, Dauag said that the books in PCL are the only books that they can provide as of now. He added that not even a centavo from the government is given for the acquisition of these books and the ownership of the PCL is still hotly debated in the higher ups. The library is open to all and that is one thing that the students should be thankful of because most libraries are exclusive. They are only going to pay P10 for a library card, Dauag explained. He said that anyone who is willing to donate books should come first to the office of the PCGG-8 for official transaction. (RAM IDELBERT
