MENDOZA REYES
If the House of Rep resentatives insist on holding a Constitutional
Assembly without the
Senate’s participation and the Senate retaliates by ignoring the lower house’s proposed bills - would a state of anarchy exist in Congress?
To clarify this issue
I asked several of the province’s leaders what they thought, and these were their answers:
Congressman Roger
Mercado and the Gover nor felt there was noth ing wrong with the cur rent situation, because the members of the ma jority party were just exercising their constitu tional rights. Mayor Pete
Fustanes the president of the League of Munici e d i t o r i a l did SLSU President Dr.
Gloria Reyes.
But Congressman
Arthur Defensor the
Majority Floor Leader of the ruling party dis agreed, lamenting that:
“There was no tell ing what would happen now after the Lower
House approved Resolu tion 1109 which calls on members of congress to convene as a Constitu ent Assembly to pro pose amendments to the
Constitution without the
Senate’s approval,” and added that “This would only confuse our people and cause chaos and in stability in our already fragmented society.”
The President’s crit ics claim the decision to pursue Charter Change via con-ass was given at the Manila Hotel af ter the Lakas-Kampi merger last Thursday before the President left for abroad.
Charter change op ponents warned that the move meant that next year’s presidential election could still be scrapped and that President Ar royo’s stay in office could be extended.
They insist that in pass ing the resolution the administration solons ig nored the testimonies of constitutional experts like former Ateneo Law Dean
Father Joaquin Bernas who argued that Cha-cha without the Senate would be unconstitutional.
E v e n C o n g r e s s man Luis Villafuerte, the original author of the measure, said he withdrew authorship of the resolution because
Congress was just wast ing the people’s time and money on Charter
Change and even vowed to oppose any Cha-cha proposals during the
14th Congress.
Critics note that the move was the mere re peatition of a similar decision taken in De cember 2006 by Ar royo’s allies led by then
Speaker Jose de Venecia who three days later retreated in the face of massive protests from religious and civic lead ers.
When Speaker Pros pero Nograles was asked if the House would send its resolution to the Sen ate, or immediately con vene as a con-ass he answered;
“I don’t know. We will have to wait till July if we can convene as such.”
I believe Nograles’s answer speaks for itself.
For if the speaker him self is confused by the current situation in the lower house, and admits he doesn’t know what would happen next; then there is definitely anarchy in Congress.
And it has only itself to blame because it set the stage for it’s happen ing when it relinquished its “power of the Purse” to Malacanang. For in doing so it gave the pal ace control over half of the government’s bud get and has relegated the members of Congress to the status of beggars.
In pre-martial law days, the halls of con gress were filled with department secretaries pleading for funds. Now we have solons lining up at the Department of Budget and Manage ment pleading for the release of funds they had already approved.
If Congress does not fight to regain its control over government ap propriations it will soon be irrelevant. And this would not only be tragic
- but unconstitutional as well.

Residents of a barangay in Macrohon are euphoric about an alleged love affair between a provincial VIP and a pretty woman who lives there. They claim their dirt road is now regularly maintained by the Provincial Engineer’s Office. And that several days before their fiesta a backhoe, one bulldozer and three dump trunks worked overtime to ensure the road’s smoothness. As the French love to say “viva la difference!”
Last Monday we stayed overnight at the Kuting Reef and Spa Resort of En gineer and Mrs. Robert Castañares. The view of the sea from its viewing deck was breathtaking and all the hotel staff understood and spoke Filipino. Babes
Castanares told us most of their clients were from Ormoc and Tacloban, and although they had not yet formally opened, they were already hosting seminars for SLSU, DTI, GTZ and other organizations.
The bad news is its quite expensive by local standards and the rich here are scrooge-like with their money; perhaps that’s why they have so much of it.
Now if Robert could use his DOTC connections to upgrade the Maasin Airport, and convince some fast craft companies to ply the route here, he could sustain the resort’s momentum. Otherwise he could fall victim to the penny-pinching millionaires of Southern Leyte who don’t even know what the word “tipping” means.
The biodegradable waste processing proto-type machine developed by Art
Marte and now being tested at the Southern Leyte State University’s Agricultural
College at Hinunangan needs modification. According to Dr. Antonio Remojo, the head of SLSU’s Research and Development Department, the Waste Manage ment Recycling Facility needs more horse power to get the job done.
Remojo also told SLT that they planned to make the five campuses of the university models for the recyling of bio-degradable garbage.
A well known caterer here has e-mailed us about the brutal price war now be ing waged between caterers in Southern Leyte who she claimed were pricing each other to bankruptcy. She said the price of food per head here was twice as cheap as in her home town Abuyog. “Our price here is so low we sometimes just break even, and contrary to the public’s perception,” she explained “most caterers are not rich but just making enough to survive.”
The usual winners in such price wars, she said, were the bigger catering services since they have all the advantages under the present set-up.
The only advice we could give her was to raise this problem with the Restaurant and Hotel Owners Association of Southern Leyte which we believe is headed by provincial board member Nikko Mercado.
We’ve made this request before but no one at the city hall took us seriously; so we are repeating it. Our seas are considered among the most polluted in the world, and most of the garbage we dump there is made of plastic. If any of our city councilors could sponsor an ordinance banning plastic containers, and in its place, mandate the use of a new plastic material that disintegrates after a few months in sea water, that councilor would leave a legacy he or she will be grate fully remembered for.

Someone at the Maasin Water District should do something about the fear some noise coming from our faucets each time we turn on the tap. It sounds like something from the movie “exorcist” and is alarming enough to cause cardiac arrest in people with weak hearts. Does the noise mean with have a water short age and will it be reflected in our water bills? The MWD should at least explain to us what the sound means.

Since most people want to remain slim and attractive, we are featuring the ten major reasons why people grow fat according to Kevin Tradeau the author of the best selling book “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About.”
Due to space constraints, we will feature his thoughts on the subject in two installments.
The majority of fat people eat when they are not hungry.
This is caused by stress or emotional eating or Physiological food cravings.
Stress or emotional eating is obviously caused by stress or emotional issues.
While physiological food cravings are generally caused by the toxins in our body or yeast overgrowth caused by antibiotics we have taken in the past which have killed the friendly flora in our intestines.
Most fat people are highly toxic
The toxins in our body are lodged primarily in our colon and fat cells. When we are highly toxic our body demands that these toxins be diluted. This causes our body to retain water and increase its fat stores in an attempt to dilute the poisons. This is why people who take lots of drugs become bloated and obese with time.
Fat people consume more diet food
Most diet food actually makes you fatter. These products which are labeled diet, low fat, sugar-free, low calorie, lite and low carbs are filled with artificial sweeteners, high amounts of sugars, or chemical additives that actually make you fatter. This is the secret the food industry doesn’t want us to know about.
These food additives can actually increase our appetite, make us physically addicted, and cause us to get fatter.
Most fat people have a large appetite
If we are overweight we find our self’s hungry most of the time. This hunger is generally caused by our body’s inability to assimilate nutrients due to the lack of digestive enzymes and yeast overgrowth. Another reason that we are hungry is that certain food additives actually increase our hunger.

SAINT BERNARD - Marven Zamora of the New Guinsaugon village in St.
Bernard, Southern Leyte went back to school last June 1 proudly wearing a new pair of shiny leather shoes.
Now in grade III, Zamora said he was very thankful for the new shoes because his old rubber shoes were full of holes..
The boy lost his father when the killer landslide hit their barangay on Febru ary 18, 2006. His mother later left him and his two siblings and has been living with their older cousins who were also orphaned by the landslide.
The recipients were sons and daugh ters of the 2006 mega-landslide which killed more than 2000 people, including
200 children, who were then attending classes.
Susan Ople, the daughter of the late Senator Blas Ople, who is now president of the Blas Ople Training
Institute said the “Ople Shoes” project was launched in 2006 in memory of her father who never wore shoes going to school until his graduation from high school.
She said her father, while studying in a public school in Bulacan would go to school either barefoot or wearing slippers because his poor parents could not afford to buy him leather shoes.
The senator, she admitted, had to borrow a pair of shoes so he could march during his graduation and speak before his batch as the school valedic torian. The shoes he borrowed from a rich uncle, however, were too small and hurt every time he took a step, she said.
Saint Bernard Mayor Rico Rentuza said the landslide survivors still needed help because their farms were so badly damaged they couldn’t grow rice there anymore.
Most of surviving parents have decided not to re-enroll their children because they could not afford it. “So, we were very happy when the institute called and offered to give shoes to the children who were excited when we told them the news,” Rentuza said.
