(Atty. APA chairman of Acyatan & Co., CPAs-DFK International - PICPA past president/Hall-of-Famer, ACPAPP Lifetime Achievement Awardee, and past chair of ASEAN Federation of CPA writes this syndicated column for selected CALABARZON & Bikol newsweeklies). FAST-CHANGING: New technologies are changing the medium with which we communicate with each other including how we record our activities. Handwriting has long been replaced by print, and now prints are being replaced by computer soft copies for purposes of perpetuation. These recent developments have affected certain industries and business lines which have been made passe by modern technologies. Cameras and films have been replaced or sidelined by the cellphone, USB and CD. As a result, global business giant KODAK has petitioned the courts to be declared insolvent (more current liabilities than current assets). Also, Encyclopedia Britannica recently announced it will stop publishing print editions of its flagship encyclopedia. Instead, it will just issue digital versions. Officials say they have long foreseen the end of the print set! NEWSPAPER? Even news publication needs to be thought about. Less and less people are buying broadsheets, or even tabloid news. TV and Tele-Radio broadcasts are substituted now for newspapers. Many modern versions of cellphones and I-pads or Ipods duplicate the function of TV and fax machines. The urgent message for us is to always check our businesses possible competitions from new techniques.

Communication Shifts

Atty. TONY (APA) ACYATAN
Book-reading similarly is being sidelined by browsing on the internet and other media. Review materials for all types of examinations are now made available through e-mails or via compact disks. Library science may soon be replaced by internet or computer filing systems, as books will just serve memorabilia purposes. All the foregoing should serve stern notices to printing presses, publishers and even bookstores. Our world of communication and information filing has undergone a huge lift to modernity. IMPEACHMENT: Public interest in the on-going legal-political battle at the Senate Court is surely waning. Too much time is being wasted due to excessive technicalities and legal antics by the participants from the prosecution, defense and even the Senate itself. We just hope that the bigger welfare of our country is not being sidelined by the impeachment imbroglio. The sooner the verdict comes, the better for all of us. Our citizenry should know that impeachment proceedings are unlike court hearings where technicalities are availed of in the interest of justice. The current Senate activity is a politico-legal exercise in search of the truth. The Chief Justices fate depends on the votes of the senator judges, with 16 as the magic number to impeach. Opinions Unlimited surmises that even if a lower number is counted, the accused will end up as a much-maligned official who is no longer fit to lead the judiciary. REFORMATION: The life of boxing idol Manny Pacquiao continues to amaze me. He has used his special intellect in addition to his brawn and boxing skills - not only to improve his life, but also to be on top of situations. There were reports that he wasted a good part of his boxing windfall in the gambling tables (especially in Las Vegas) and also on lavish parties with wine and women for his friends and supporters. Current reports indicate that the eighttime world boxing champion reformed his life after his encounter with God in a dream. Instead of using his money for gambling, he is now actively giving away resources to the needy. This season of Lent, Pacquiao is set to speak in a recollection of priests from the diocese of Marbel (Cotabato). The occasion is ripe for the congressmanboxer to reveal his reformed life and how his bible-reading cleansed his earthly habits. WISDOM: Grateful people give out aid from a heart of love, not because of bounden duties.

To Gather Together
At any one time, if one goes around in the many cities and towns of our country, what one will readily meet are the streamers upon streamers, either lining up the side or hanging up the streets, with the painted messages of alumni homecomings, family reunions, town fiestas... In our country, we love reunions, of all sorts, very much. As feast lovers, we are not used to being left all alone by ourselves. We love and try to do things with others. We always look for ways and reasons to come and gather together. So, it is not surprising why we have these perennial class and clan reunions, vibrant town fiestas... We ardently believe in the scriptural passage which said; .... It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. Genesis 2: 18 We love to treat and spend for others. We want to be known for our generosity. Thats why, generally, we have poor saving habits. There are all the weekly pot lucks that we have to go and attend. We just want to bring with us the most special and expensive ones. We want our dish to stand out of the rest. We totally hate it when it is ignored or snobbed. Amidst all of these, there is a gathering that we feel, as though, reluctant to show ourselves in- the wake. A wake itself is also a social gathering done specially at night for the purpose of watching and praying over a dead persons body before its burial. It is , in short, paying our last respect to a dead person. Who wants to be in one? We wanted to be in social gathering situations but not in this one, for sure, since it reminds us of our own death. In our minds, if we die, we are not much different from the one already in front encased in a coffin. In whatever form, it is not a happy reunion, at all. Every Sunday, we all have an open invitation from God to come and gather before his Holy Eucharist to heed his own very words; ... do this in remembrance of me. Luke 22: 19 At the center of which is the priest, the other Christ, whom we fondly call as Father , our Father, symbolizing the uniting factor of the community. Although done daily and weekly, the Holy Eucharist is the mother of all reunions. With one mind, one heart and one faith, we witness the life, death and eventual resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The world, with its varying colors of persuasions often tends to disintegrates, the church with its unity with God is always one and the same. Yes, the accidentals, from time to time, might change. However, the substance, the faith in God, never. For he is forever and infinite... To what other party do we need to throw our support in? Let us go for the heavenly eternal one. Come let us gather together in front of God in his own sacraments. He is all truth and promise nothing but the salvation of our souls. My brothers and sisters, It is not good for one to be alone Why be one when we can COME ONE. COME ALL toward Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist !

CJ Coronas undeclared dollars and allowances and 8 Tips on Earthquake Safety

During the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato C. Corona last week, the defense counsel presented Araceli Bayuga, a budget and disbursing officer of the Supreme Court who testified that CJ Corona had received a total of P21,636,781.45 in salaries, allowances and other benefits since he joined the tribunal in 2002 until last year. Coronas salaries for the same period amounted to a total of P5,872,859.82 and much of his earnings came from allowances and other benefits he received while sitting at the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, including such items as productivity enhancement benefit, Christmas cash gifts, additional Christmas cash gift and yearend cash gift. Corona also received allowances for clothing, representation and transportation including extraordinary and miscellaneous expenses, longevity and productivity incentive benefits. As I watched the trial on TV, I wondered why did CJ Corona only declare P3.5 million as his income on his SALN under oath. He did not even declare his dollar deposit in the bank and those millions of allowances. Ill wait for his explanation on

Panganiban wrote the following excerpt: On this gut legal issue, recall that in its resolution on Jan. 27, the impeachment court held that respondent, as a public official, has the duty to completely, truthfully and faithfully declare his assets, liabilities and net worth. Consequently, a less than full and faithful disclosure may open him to sanctions. *****

Earthquakes are frequently reported and is happening all over the world with disastrous consequences. Hence, here are 8 (Eight) Tips on Earthquake Safety from the Book of Tips by Julio F. Silverio: 1. The worst danger is over at the first minute of a major earthquake. Always try to maintain presence of mind. 2. When earthquake occur, the first impulse should be to seek cover or take refuge under a large piece of strong furniture when one happens to be inside a building. 3. When caught by the tremors while in the streets or between buildings, take refuge under a strong structure. Beware of broken down electric wires, falling debris, loose ceiling slabs and crumbling walls. Avoid staying or being caught in narrow alleys, between tall structures or walls, beneath steep precipices, riverbanks, etc. 4. Aftershocks are not as dangerous as the main shock. After the main shock, stay away from unstable objects or structures, damaged objects,

The changing world

The story of the aging Spanish nobleman, Juan Ponce de Leon, who searched for the Fountain of Youth in the Pacific, reveals mans obsession with immortality. His search ended in failure for when he dipped himself into what he believed to be the fountain, his vigor, his strength did not return. Old age is mans mortal enemy. When he advances in years which is unstoppable, he enters into an unfamiliar world. Most of the things that he is so fond with are no longer there. Some people have learned to accept it, however. They know there are things that cannot be changed. Bidding youth goodbye is one of them. Juan Ponce de Leon did not want to leave that world. And perhaps you, too. But you can always go back. We call it walking down memory lane. When you visit your childhood home, you go there not just to see old friends but

to relive memories, to touch the places you once frequented, to hear the same sounds of your youth, to feel the rushing of the winds. In Legazpi City years back, the late Jess Marcellana would play old songs in his daily afternoon , Hitback, over DWGW. It was a well-loved, well-listened to program, Most of his fans were people

They grew up with the old songs, daily experienced them, dreamed with them, even made love listening to them. That kind of music was part of their lives. If you take that away from them, their world will become barren, lifeless. Todays music? They will never appreciate the ear-splitting noise. The change is not only in music.

bongat optimistic on garbage technology

NAGA CITY ---- Fresh from his fruitful sojourn after attending the monthlong International Visitors program in the United States, Naga City Mayor John Bongat immediately resume his usual routine in the office and was instantaneously swarmed with various concerns, one of which is the completion of one of his dream projects the realization of a technology which will address the growing problem of garbage in the city. On Friday, Bongat, together with the members of Sangguniang Panlunsod and other city officials, convened at the Avenue Plaza Hotel here, to discuss with CJ Global Co., Ltd, and Hitachi Zosen officials the status of the garbage technology which will use gasification process to ease out problems concerning waste disposal, as prompted by the increasing local population, not to mention the rapid influx of domestic and foreign tourists in the city. CJ Global, as represented by Mr. Erick Meer, CJ Global Corporate Secretary is bent on its commitment to pursue the project under the BuiltOperate Transfer Scheme within the 20-year period. The project cost $75M dollars, or more or less Php2-3 billion pesos. Asked whats keeping them from starting off the physical foundation of the project, Meer stated that they are still working on some pre requisites being asked by the Department of Energy (DOE). We need the clearance from the DOE before we can finally commence with the project. This has something to do with the importation of vital equipment from its country of origin under the Renewable Energy Act. Without an authorization, we cannot possibly move on to the next level of the projects implementation. But we are doing our best to comply with whatever is needed to pursue this venture, Meer said in an interview. Bongat, on the other hand is optimistic that this technology will soon find its way and not be lost in oblivion, citing further the advantages that the system offers. The Fluidized Bed or FB Gasification Melting system guarantees the reduction of the final disposal amount, as presented by CJ Global

Docs warn public on summer diseases

NAGA CITY -- As the summer season officially starts this month, several diseases brought about by the hot summer season will also come with it. Bicol Medical Center (BMC) Chief Efren Nerva, anticipating the occurrence of summer-related ailments, told media that this years theme, Malusog, Masaya, tara ng magbakasyon, alamin ang dapat gawin, kalikasan ay isipin, aims to warn the public on how to evade the occurrence of these maladies this coming summer. On top of the list is heat stroke. Heat stroke is a form of hyperthermia where body temperature shoots up. This, according to the doctors, is a medical emergency and should not be taken for granted, since it can be fatal if not treated immediately. Dr. Felipe Pio, BMC Information Officer said that cooling the victim is a critical step in regaining the normal temperature of the victim. Avoiding dehydration should also be observed and participation in vigorous physical activities should be limited. Prone to this condition are infants, the elderly, athletes and field workers who work under the sun. To avoid this, the doctor advises to bring a bottle of water and sun shields like umbrellas or hat. It is also not advisable to give caffeinated drinks, like softdrinks and tea as they will aggravate the dehydration of the victim. Light colored dress or garments are also advisable. Aside from heatstroke, heat rash is also one of the most common heat-related illnesses. The red cluster or small blisters can cause discomfort to the victim such as skin irritation which is usually caused by excessive sweating being normally experienced during hot and humid temperature. Mary Jane G. Uy, MD, MPH Chief of Medical Professional also answered queries on using sun protection like utilizing products that contains zinc oxide. Zinx Oxide is a white powder that is insoluble in water. It is present in products, mostly in baby powders and

1st Leg of Stand up Paddle world Series slated April 19-23

PILI, CamSur A new kind of international caliber watersports competition is set to unfold in CamSur with the staging of the first leg of the Stand Up Paddle World Series slated April 19 to 23 offshore of the beaches along San Jose town in the Partido district. This developed with the recent announcement made by Governor LRay Villafuerte after CamSur won the bid to host the unique watersports competition that will be played for the first time in the Philippines and Asia. Stand up paddle boarding, also called stand up paddle surfing, is actually an ancient sport developed by native Hawaiians called Hoe hee nalu, revived by beach boys of Waikiki in the 1960s and mushrooming the world over, particularly in coastal areas with a warm climate and easy access to relatively safe waters

The modern version entails riding the waves a three to four yard-long modified surfboard with the rider standing up propelling and steering the board with an outrigger paddle. The sport may also be played in rivers to negotiate obstacles and rapids. The sport was revived and re-introduced in the 1960s by beach boys of Waikiki, hence the sport is also referred to as beach boy surfing. The games in San Jose will be the first of a series of tournaments in selected locations worldwide to determine who are the best men and women stand up paddle boarders in the world. Stand up paddle boarding is especially favored by women because riders are provided

with a strong core workout, and the sport is relatively easy to learn. An hour of instruction and practice is sufficient to make a neophyte feel comfortable on the board in the water. With their lower center of gravity, women even get to be more proficient than men in stand up paddle boarding, experts say. The games in San Jose, CamSur, which Villafuerte envision to develop into a world-caliber sports cum ecotourism attraction, will be the first of a series to determine who are the best men and women stand up paddle surfers in the world with a very fat purse at stake offering as much as US$20,000 in some categories.

Being an OFW does not automatically include the greener pastures globalization promises. While some may have found their dreams outside of the Philippines, many of our fellow Filipinos, serving particularly in the Middle East, suffers not only the vapid, lonely life of being an OFW, but also the persecution, maltreatment, and the constant paranoia that conflict can break out at any time. The resilience of the Filipino spirit gives the OFW the strength to endure all these but resilience can only take you so far. That is why Sun Cellular, in partnership National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), sponsored a Libreng Tawag activity at the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) from March 9 to 16, 2012. Dubbed as Operation Syria Libreng Tawag, the Sun Cellular-NTC activity gave an opportunity to the families of our OFWs to get in touch

An extra ounce of coolness Sun Cellular reaches out to Syria oFws from Sharp airconditioners
Theres no stopping Sharp Corporation of Japan, represented here in the Philippines by Sharp (Philippines) Corporation, from introducing new products that will definitely touch the lives of many Filipinos with their discriminating needs for appliances to bring joy and delight to the home of today. One such product range is Sharps line of impressive split type and window type airconditioners that offer better cooling efficiency inside the room (or even the entire house) compared to other airconditioner brands of today, a true welcome treat considering the type of climate we have in the Philippines. For the Inverter SplitType airconditioners, which currently has 4 models, these outstanding airconditioners come with a 7th generation Plasmacluster Ion Technology, Sharps innovative and pioneering air purifying technology that has a technologically-advanced airlflow filtration system to help ensure cleaner and fresher air. It works by generating an electrical discharge to create positive and negative ions as they are released into the air. These ions then attach themselves to bacteria and viruses and instantly form highly oxidizing radicals which draw out hydrogen from the bacteria and then breaks down the proteins membrane to make it inactive. Then the hydrogen and oxygen radicals combine with hydrogen to return to the atmosphere as a harmless substance. Aside from that, the ions neutralize static electricity to prevent dust, pollen and other air contaminants from clinging to walls and fabrics so that they can be easily collected and filtered to effectively remove dust, pollen, bacteria and odors, thus making people with allergic reactions to these air contaminants breathe freely and easily. The AHXP26MF(2.5HP) and the AH-XP20MF (2.0HP) also come with a super jet stream for better cooling no matter where you are in the room, and cools the room 30% faster than split-type airconditioners in the market today. Its gentle cooling gives a soothing coldness to the room, which is best for babies and even elders. This powerful jet stream feature is also available in Sharps split-type Inverter models like the AH-XP14MF, AHXP11MF, AH-XP13LF and even the non-Inverter models such as the AH-AP24LMF, AH-AP18LMF, and the AHAP12LMF. Sharps window-type airconditioners are also as efficient and effective like the split-type range, starting with the AF-A1500CR airconditioner that comes in at 1.5 horsepower, with a Power Off memory, Remote Control, a Top Discharge feature, and a 9.1 Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) for better cooling and more efficient power consumption. It is also available in AFA1500CM which is a mechanical control. Other models are the AF1000CR and AF-A1000CM, with slightly higher EER of 9.8 and with 1.0HP while the AF-G501/502 is at 0.5HP but with the same EER as the AF-A1500CR with 9.1. For more details about Sharps outstanding line of airconditioners, visit www. sharp.ph.

Hundreds of family members flocked the OWWA building over the whole week. While originally meant to serve those who have relatives in Syria, the Libreng Tawag booth entertained calls to other countries as well.

During the event, Tina (real name withheld) managed to call her aunt in Qatar to inform her that she finally has a chance to come home after suffering from sexual harassment abroad. Through coordination with the Philippine Embassy in Qatar, Tinas aunt boarded the most immediate flight home later that day. We are very thankful to Sun Cellular for supporting us in our effort to reach out to our countrymen abroad, especially

in Syria, said Linda C. Mercado, NTCs Consultant for the Office of the Commissioner. Mercado herself was one of the people who manned the booth for the whole week.

NYC: Let the youth speak for the trees in baguio

The National Youth Commission (NYC) expressed concern over the effects of the planned uprooting of almost 200 trees in Baguios Luneta Hill. This reservation came at the heels of SM Baguios expansion plan to make way for a 7-storey parking building. NYC Chairman Leon Flores III highlights the importance of preserving the natural beauty of Baguio and of the pivotal role that the youth takes in environmental protection. The National Youth Commission serves as the voice and advocate of the youth. With several of our constituencies in Baguio taking the lead in the mobilizations against the uprooting of the trees, it is important that we should listen to what they have to say. The youth are speaking up for the trees and they should be provided a venue to be heard on this issue. The need for consultations on this matter should be in order. We humbly call on the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Local Government of Baguio City to take another hard look over the impact of this action. What may, at first, appear to be legal, may not necessarily be ethical. Flores added. Instead of paved recreational areas, NYC Commissioner Representing Luzon Georgina Nava says that what Baguio City should have is more open spaces where people can enjoy the environment and benefit from its natural and cultural resource. We should always take a long, hard look at all effects of construction and modernization to our environment and ecology, adds Commissioner Nava. NYC also seeks to clarify with the DENR regarding the success rate of relocating decades-old trees by earth-balling. We would like to know what so far, is the survival rate of the trees earth-balled and transplanted by MMDA in Katipunan and Quezon Avenue. What assurance do we have that the uprooted trees will survive? says NYC Commissioner and Environment Committee head Erwin Andaya.

Morning of March 19 saw the formal launch of the Migzginhawa Surgical Mission at Libmanan District Hospital initially offering free minor operations to constituents of Libmanan and neighboring towns. The program, a continuing surgical mission which offers free surgery and removal of unwanted bodily masses as well as corrective operations, is a collaboration of the provincial government under the leadership of Gov. LRay Villafuerte and his eldest son Migz Villafuerte, a sportsman and entrepreneur. The free surgery will be conducted by volunteer doctors with the assistance of nurses comprising the medical mission. Other expenses related to the surgery such as x-ray, laboratory tests, blood chemistry, ECG as well as electrolytes and post-operative medicines are also free. Six doctors and five nurses, practicing in various hospitals in Metro Manila participated in the launching of the surgical mission. They brought with them their surgical instruments and devices as well as medicines needed for the operations. Meanwhile, personnel of the Libmanan District Hospital under the leadership of Doctor Dennis Reforma, mounted a huge effort to pre-

According to the hospital head, they are prepared to meet their quota of 100 minor surgeries and 10 major surgeries daily. Providing invaluable coordinative efforts are the personnel of the Provincial Capitol particularly in the aspect of information dissemination to the constituents of far-flung barangays of Libmanan, even transporting them from the pick-up points to the hospital in several vehicles owned by the provincial government of CamSur hence, unburdening the patients of transport or transportation expenses. The final tally of the patients operated on during the launch of the surgical mission was 65 patients, all minor operations. All of them have only commendation and appreciation for the program as it has brought them relief from the discomfort caused by the abnormalities and excrescences they bore prior to surgery. Moreover, they were able to avail of the medical services with virtually no effort on their part. The conduct of major operations is slated next week as they are expecting the delivery of necessary medical equipment on said schedule. Meanwhile preparations for the medical mission to be conducted in Ocampo District Hospital are also underway as medical teams go around the barangays of the different municipalities to determine who and how many among the constituents need to undergo surgery. -FERNANDEZ

The AKO Bicol Party List (AKB) filed House Resolution no. 2278, directing the Committee on Labor and Committee on Foreign Relations to conduct a joint inquiry, in aid of legislation, into the plight of OFWs in war-torn Syria and the status of the ongoing rescue and repatriation missions in the said country. This follows the killing of Filipino domestic worker Meran Montezor, a 23-year-old native of Camarines Sur, who died while caught in a crossfire while traveling with her employers family. Before this, a Filipino worker also died from renal failure while awaiting immigration clearance in Damascus prior to repatriation to Manila. Time is not on our side when external forces are clamoring for regime change in Syria, Rep. Rodel Batocabe of AKB says. We really need a fair and independent assessment of the ongoing rescue and repatriation missions of the Philippine Embassy, and we need it fast, so we can sure that these efforts are enough to address the situation. He adds, We owe it to our modern-day heroes, referring to the OFWs employed in Syria, whose lives have been endangered as a result of the armed conflict between rebels and military soldiers where most of them worked. Most of the Filipino OFWs working in Syria are women.

National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Phil. Coast Gurad, Dept. of Justice (DOJ) among others. We sure are hoping to sustain this campaign with the help of our partners at the RAILTF, Director Fragada said. According to foresters and field personnel of the FMS, a pro-active campaign is a deterrent to illegal logging operations in Bicols natural and secondary forests which the DENR is trying to rehabilitate under the National Greening Program (NGP). FMS report disclosed that along with confiscated woods, various field offices sequestered 68 conveyances used in the transport of illegal logs, 6 animals, 2 carts, 5 logging tools and 11 chainsaws. Meanwhile, consistent with its policy to support the governments efforts of improving the educational facilities of public schools, DENR Bicol donated some 24,563 board feet (bd. ft.) of undocumented and confiscated logs and lumbers to the Department of Education (DepEd) Regional Office 5. Fragada revealed that 40 public schools in the province of Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes and Sorsogon have benefitted from the donation made in CY 2011. All the confiscated wood will be used in making chairs and desks, and with the repairs of school buildings. The DENR Bicol turned over all these confiscated logs and lumbers since November 2011, and furnished with the deeds of donation were the recipient schools and the DepEd Regional Office, Director Fragada said.

representatives. This would mean that the final disposal amount is reduced because ash is melted down. Moreover, Hitz, the company that will introduce the technology has already a 10-year experience. This somehow gives us a guarantee that the equipment was already tried and tested, especially in countries like Japan , which has more astringent environmental laws as compared to the Philippines , Bongat added. Bongat clarified though that CJ Global is still the contracting party here. To ensure that entering into another agreement with Hitz will not affect the earlier contract, he has requested a certified translation of the agreement from Japanese to English language from the Japanese embassy. The difficulties in waste disposal during the past years that has led to the depletion of landfill capacity has prompted the local government to look for possible means to address the elimination of garbage in the most environment-friendly way. Now, the gasification melting furnace was being seen as an answer to that predicament. This technology guarantees the reduction of dioxins by combustion at high temperature of 1300 degrees centigrade. Re-using and recycling of resource from non combustibles is also possible. Here, Fe and Al elements are collected and re-used at nonoxidized condition and slag are recycled as supplementary asphalt of road paving. In the FB Gasification melting system, ash is melted down to slag by the heat of the waste itself without the assistance of fuel due to the low melting temperature pegged at 1300 degrees centigrade. The system is also safe to stop and operate due to low amount of waste in the gasification furnace. Bongat remains positive that this technology will solve the decade-long problem on waste disposal. -LsMacatangay

Pregnant moms will have easy access to pre-natal checkups, Almencion added. According to Angeles Escorel, the oldest laborer in the project site, he was very enthusiastic about the taking the job because he thought of his grandchildrens welfare.

While the NYC recognizes the authority of private individuals or corporations over its property, the Commission also reminds landowners to exercise their right to utilize the land sparingly especially if it entails damage to the environment. Commissioner Andaya further quips: An environmental issue like this has to consider two things: the right of the people of Baguio City to a healthy ecology and the right of SM Management, as the lawful owner, to legally utilize its property. Thus, pending the resolution of these legal rights, the NYC respectfully appeals for a full disclosure and review of the permit issued by the DENR and the Local Government.
