Merry Christmas To You
On Christmas day, December 25, EF received several text messages from readers, friends and relatives. The messages are so meaningful and touching that I believed are worthwhile sharing with you. Some of it are as follows:
1. Dr. Raphy Tayco
C – hrist gave
H – imself as a
R – eward so that
I – ndividual knows the
S – acrifices
T – hat He did for
M – ankind to
A – chieve the gift of
S – alvation.
Merry Christmas!
2. Boy Romano - Jesus is a Friend Who is so close beside us, anytime we’re feeling lost, His light will surely guide us and anywhere we go, His love will always reach us!
3. Alex Vidal - Safety! Blessings! Love! Peace! Happiness are my prayers for you and your family. Merry Christmas!
4. Benny Laserna - May joy, love and peace be with you and your family this Christmas! Good health and more success for 2008!
5. Atty. Ronquillo C. Tolentino - Jesus had no servant, yet they call Him Master. No degree, yet they call Him Teacher; no medicine, yet they call Him Healer. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. In chemistry, He changed water into wine. In physics, He disproved the law of gravity where He ascended into heaven. In history, He is the beginning and the end. In government, He is a wonderful Counselor, the Prince of Peace. In economics, He disproved the Law of Diminishing Return by feeding 500 people out of two (2) fishes and five (5) loaves of bread. Jesus is the reason for the season! A blessed Christmas to you and your family!
6. Engr. Remelyn Recoter - God always repays caring acts. It may not be with money or material things, but more often He repays with happiness, good health, friendship and love. Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
7. Allen Alcedo - Not all gifts are under the Christmas tree. Most of them are found in the heart! Merry Christmas!
8. Dr. Mona Maga-yanes - Time and things don’t last. What matters in life are the people we care about and the values we dare to live and share. May you have a great holiday season with your love ones.
9. Jun Aguirre - God wants us to live like the grass. Even if stepped on, crushed, burned and cut, it always persists and grows back even greener and stronger. Merry Christmas!
Transco Must Pay Rental Fee
In order to distribute electricity to various electric power consumers, Transco has constructed electric power lines passing over private lands. Transco has dug, put up posts and installed electric wires for electricity to pass through. It has cut productive trees like coconuts, mangoes and other fruit trees where it obstructed its ways. But Transco has neither paid the trees cut to the land owners nor paid rentals in using the land owned by private persons.
However, Transco by way of the monthly Akelco bills is collecting from all Akelco members – consumers electricity transmission cost. This is an injustice, greatly unfair to private land owners which portions of land are being used by Transco. Owners of lands which trees were cut by Transco are still to receive payments for trees and other crops damaged.
This use of private land by Transco is a clear violation of Section 9 of the Bill of Rights of the Philippines Constitution which states. “Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation.” With the increasing real estate taxes, Transco must pay rental in the use of the private lands and pay the cost of damages to the trees cut and crops damaged.
May the new Akelco Board gives attention to this matter.
Calizo Hosts Christmas Party
Vice Governor Gabrielle V. Calizo for the third time, hosted a Christmas Party for the entertainment of members of the tri-media in Aklan. The affair was held at Nenette’s Garden, Andagao, Kalibo in the evening of Sunday, December 23.
There were more delicious foods and drinks, games, raffles, prizes and surprises. Indeed the party was well attended which enhanced bonding, camaraderie and understanding.
Vice Governor Calizo also hosted similar affair in years 2003 and 2004 in the same place while a congresswoman of the lone district of Aklan.
Indeed Gabrielle V. Calizo is a generous woman who understands the flight of the members of the tri-media.
Judge Suspends Arraignment of Suspects
Hon. Marietta Homena Valencia, acting presiding judge of Branch 4, Regional Trial Court (RTC), Kalibo, Aklan suspended and rescheduled the arraignment of the two suspects in the murder of Roland Ureta. Judge Valencia rescheduled the arraignment to January 10, 2008 after Jessie Ticar, 43, a suspect of Oyo Torong Street, Kalibo failed to appear in the Sala of Branch 4, RTC, Kalibo.
Ureta was program director of RMN – DYKR, a radio station in Kalibo. He died of multiple gun shots wounds in the evening of January 3, 2001. Ureta has just finished his radio broadcast at 9;00 o’clock in the evening. He rode on his motorcycle and proceeded to Lezo. Upon reaching barangay Bagto, Lezo, Ureta was ambushed by two unidentified motorcycle riding persons. He died on the spot.
After months of investigation by the PNP, two suspects were identified by a lone witness. Jessie Ticar however, denied any participation in the commission of the crime. He, however, voluntarily surrendered to the Kalibo PNP Chief Supt. Arnold Ardiente on December 18, 2007. Ticar was supposed to be presented to the court at 8:30 in the morning, December 20 but he arrived late at past 9:00 o’clock in the morning with his police escort, SPO4 Alfonso Manoba, Jr.
Amador Ras, another suspect was arrested in the morning, November 16, 2007 in front of the Numancia Municipal Hall. He was a Utility worker of that town at the time of his arrest by virtue of an Arrest Warrant issued under Criminal Case No. 8149. Ras is a resident of Badio, Numancia.
The two suspects, Ticar and Ras are now detained in Aklan Rehabilitation Center, Nalook, Kalibo. /MP
