Senses and
Sensibilities
deeday a. cairo
here is no need for private citizens to own
guns. Guns are menace to people, to peace-
ful communities and society. The belief that
private people have to own a gun or guns to pro-
tect him or his family is a myth and is entirely un-
true. Owning one would either put him in danger
or would cause harm to others. This is because a
gun or any weapon for that matter is a pull to the
owner that makes his blood suddenly boil at the
least stirring.
If all people would live simply, peaceably in dig-
nity, there is no need to equip ones home or one-
self with deadly weapons. The Bible teaches man
to love others as they love themselves, a precept
that will make families, communities and societies,
peaceful. An armed person becomes hot-tempered,
daring and bold. What one could not do when he is
unarmed, he would boldly do when he is armed. It
is something that makes one audacious to the
point of being foolhardy, arrogant and easily
provoked.
After the stray bullet incident that claimed
a hapless 7 year old, the government must
do utmost effort to retrieve all unaccounted
guns from the citizenry. Authorities must beable to recover all lose rearms from the pub-
lic. Only those who are legally authorized to
carry rearms must be given the right to own
or carry one. There should be no exemptions
to the rule, even politicians and other power-
ful people must not be permitted to own such
weapons. It usually makes it easy for them
to form private armies and goons that lead
to unsavory incidents and deaths of innocent
people. Look at the Maguindanao Massacre
With the continued pro-
gress of the city, garbage and
wastes have increased. This
became literally unmanage-
able during the holidays with
the onset of bad weather and
the small number of garbage
collectors. It has become a
sad plight for the X-men of
Limpyo Tacloban who have
been patient and committed
in trying to present a cleancity to all visitors during the
holiday season with the rains
and inclement weather wors-
ened by the callous public
who seemed insensitive to the
rampant and irresponsible lit-
tering around the city. It was
also observed that garbage
collectors did not collect
the mountains of piled
garbage in subdivisions
and in the thoroughfares
in the City just because it
was raining and Auring
was threatening.
It seems that the
ooding experience of
people in the City of
Tacloban have not been
internalized well. People
continue to throw indis-
criminately their garbage
and wastes. The sad ex-
perience of ooding in
low-lying areas has not
brought lessons to be
learned. It seems people
do not care about their
surroundings. Mother
Nature is already scream-
ing its wrath on humans
yet no one seems to care;
not the families who turn
out so much wastes per
day, not the collectors
and nonetheless, not thebarangay ofcials.
Garbage disposal is
usually one of the indi-
cators of the status of
living or lifestyle of a
family. Families who
are considered in the up-

THE CALL OF NATHANAEL
The next day (Jesus) decided to go to Galilee, and he found Philip.And Jesus said to him, Follow me. Now Philip was from Bethsaida,the town of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and told him,We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and alsothe prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth But Nathanael saidto him, Can anything good come from Nazareth? Philip said to him,Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said ofhim, Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him. Nathanaelsaid to him, How do you know me? Jesus answered and said to him,Before Philip called you, I saw you under the g tree. Nathanaelanswered him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King ofIsrael. Jesus answered and said to him, Do you believe because I told
you that I saw you under the g tree? You will see greater things thanthis. And he said to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see thesky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on theSon of Man.
CHILD OF IGNORANCE
Prejudice, said Voltaire, is the reason of fools. Perhaps that iswhy we should never attempt to reason the prejudice out of anyone;since it was not reasoned into them, it can not be reasoned out! Preju-dice is the child of ignorance. Nearly all of us have suffered discrimi-nation at the hands of prejudiced people: because of our background,status, age, ethnic origin or simply the color of the skin. Jesus alsosuffered from people prejudiced against him. When told that the Mes-siah has come from Nazareth, Nathaniel quipped, Can anything goodcome out of Nazareth? (Jn1:46). A sure way for a person to shed hisor her prejudice is to come to Christ. He will teach us by word and ex-ample to love others, whoever they are, for he laid down hi life for us(1 Jn 3:16). A man was selling balloons. A child was intrigued as shewatched the balloon-man occasionally release a balloon and let it oatinto the sky to attract some attention to his wares. Every now and then,the balloons went up the sky blue balloon, red, green, white, black
and yellow. Excuse me, sir, said the child. How come, when you letgo of the balloons green, white, red, even black balloons they al-ways oat up into the sky? The man replied, Love, it is not the colorof the balloon that matters. It is the stuff inside. To be prejudices is tobe weak on truth. Let us get strong on the truth that we are all Godschildren.

The Sower
Glory year that was
for JCI-Tacloban
Enforcing...from page 4
It was yet another year
to behold - a great chal-
lenge for the incoming
president then to achieve
beyond expectation and
continue to give glory to
the pioneer local chapter of
the Junior Chamber Inter-
national (erstwhile Jaycee)
here in Eastern Visayas, the
JCI-Tacloban. The outgo-
ing president of the local
organization (LO) who is
to assume this development
year as Regional Vice-Pres-
ident (for EV) have had his
hands full with myriad of
concerns to face squarely
but resolutely. JCI Member
Dionisio Onie Balintong
Jr, a self-made youth leader
could proudly sing, I made
it through the rain.
One year was all he got
to lead the team, a groupwhose members come from
diversied family back-
ground, political and reli-
gious afliations and eco-
nomic strata but all of whom
are leaders possessing the
potentials of being the next
chapter president. In spite
of his limitations and the
constraints in the environ-
ment he moved around,
JCI Mem. Onie was indeed
a winner like the local or-
ganization he led in JCI de-
velopment year 2011-2012.
Rising above the adversi-ties, this unassuming com-
munity organizer and lov-
ing better-half of JCI Mem.
Katherine Llamas, deserves
to get up the ladder in his
JCI career as he continued
to keep the glory days for
JCI-Tacloban.
In recap, JCI-Tacloban
had achieved much in 2012,
as if continuing the legacy
made by the LO past presi-
dents, especially those who
are still actively supporting
the chapter and those who
eventually became mem-bers of the national board.
JCI-Tacloban earned these
distinct honors and awards
during the Area Confer-
ence in September last year,
namely Best International
Development Program
Kamiseta Para Kay Juan
(where imported oks-na-oks
clothes were distributed to
the indigent residents in a
remote Sitio in San Jose,
Tacloban City); Outstanding
JCI Local Organization of
the Year; and Rank 3 in the
JCI Performance Efciency
Awards (Visayas Area).
A month after, at the
JCI-Philippines National
Convention JCI-Tacloban
earned the Presidential
Award for Membership
Growth. This membership
growth could be counted as
kind of fulllment of the LO
in the challenge of Mayor
Alfred Romualdez during
the induction of 2012 set of
ofcers held in December
last year where the Mayor,
his wife Councilor Cristina,
and Philippine Drugs En-
forcement Agency formerRegional Director Julius
Navales were inducted as
associate members. But the
increase in quantity is be-
yond expectation, although
another hefty challenge to
the incoming set of ofcers
to be led by businesswoman
Peluchi Jasmine Senaca.
This year will be another
year to behold as Peluchi
takes her turn for one-year-
to-lead.
RVP Onie left this
thought as he bequeaths
the position to his succes-sor, Our involvement in
JCI will better prepare us to
accept the responsibility of
leadership. Each of you can
play a role by involvement
and sharing your ideas with
others. As the President of
the JCI-Tacloban, I congrat-
ulate all the JCI members
(for) our successes. (I) hope
that your current activities
will be enjoyable and wish
you all the very best for the
future.
JCI Mem. Annaliza
Elleson-Frazer, along-timemember of the organization,
had these inspiring points
to share: JCI Tacloban is
always creating a positive
change in the community,
even though there are some
problems and difculties of
the club but its still strong
to help and make many
projects that can help the
relationship to the commu-
nities. Also that can build
strong leadership. JCIP-
Tacloban won in the area
and national awards last
year and the previous year.
Each leader, as it is said,
has his peculiar style dis-
tinct from though appreci-
able like the others. Each
style has its way of bring-
ing home the bacon. This is
the thing unique and enjoy-
able with the JCI (Jaycees)
every member is allowed
to commit mistakes in his
undertakings but these er-
rors should serve as lessons
to learn for him to be better
with every failure. This is
how leaders are formed
by hands on training.
JCI is a worldwide or-
ganization of Young Active
Citizens Creating Positive
Change. As Frazer quoted,
We are a membership-
based nonprot organiza-
tion of 200,000 young peo-
ple ages 18 to 40 in 5,000
communities and more than
100 countries around the
world. Each JCI Member
shares the belief that in or-
der to create lasting positive
change, we must improveourselves and the world
around us. We seek target-
ed solutions to the unique
problems in our communi-
ties to build a better world,
creating global impact.
Pres. Noynoy Aquino,
The Outstanding Young
People awardee and senato-
riable Bambam Aquino, an-
other senatoriable and JCI-
Philippines past national
president Jayvee Ejercito,
actress Angelu De Leon,
multi-awarded TV Patrol
World news anchor TedFailon are among the digni-
ed members of JCI-Phil-
ippines. (This writer was a
past national vice-president
for EV and recently con-
ferred the prestigious ti-
tle JCI Senator along with
past regional vice president
Rommel Verecio and past
chapter president Yul Bal-
lesteros).
Vice-mayoralty candi-
date in Tacloban and for-
mer banker JCI Senator
Romy Francisco as well as
past chapter president andformer councilor Rolando
Palomino attributed to their
being Jaycees their success
in their chosen professions.
This is just among the bo-
nuses one could get in be-
ing an exemplary leader of
the JCI.
that led to the deaths
of innocent people.
Astray bullets dur-
ing the celebration
of the New Year also
claimed 40 deaths.
This would not have
happened if there
were no lose rearms
around.
The incident also
spells the inefciency
per strata of society are
known to have better
waste disposal capaci-
ties than those from the
lower strata. This is why,
it is usually 5observed
in subdivisions and other
residential compounds
who are better off and
who are not; or who are
educated and who are
not. Yet, families can-
not do well in this aspect
if the garbage collectors
will not do their job. It
is irritating to know that
garbage collectors are in
full force collecting gar-
bage during Christmas asthey also timed this for
asking gifts and money
taking advantage of the
holidays.
Christmas time is giv-
ing time but when certain
people only do good be-
cause of the extra they get
from families especially
in subdivisions during
the holidays, the spirit of
giving becomes a hollow
things as the love that
must come with it is sub-
stituted with resentment.
Garbage managementwill be more effective
and efcient if it will be
taken up at the barangay
level by barangay of-
cials. They cannot just
throw this concern to the
city government. They
must be able to discipline
their people, making sure
that each family properly
disposes their wastes re-
sponsibly. The barangay
ofcials must also see to
it that the garbage collec-
tors do their job regularly
or as scheduled otherwise
the barangay council can
sanction their inefcien-
cy. As is, the barangays
have shown a callous
stance even if they see
the situation in their own
front yards.
Mirroring...from page 4
of the government
to curb such acci-
dents. Sealing off of
guns prior to the rev-
elry did not prevent
deaths. This shows
that the move was not
effective. There are
lapses that should be
sealed and foolproof.
It is sad that some of
the victims of such
accidents were inno-
cent people, children
who have so much
life before them and
mothers or parents
who have families to
take care of.
One thing that
could be done to pre-
vent the same inci-
dents from happening
is to pass legislation
for gun ban among
people who have no
legal basis to carry or
own rearms. Sec-
ondly, existing laws
on the matter must be
amended to increasepenalties among peo-
ple who engage in
discriminate ring
of guns, explosives
and high-powered
recrackers. Thirdly,
there should be an
efcient reconnais-
sance of all rearms
in communities, ba-
rangays and organ-
ized groups.
