Gugma Han Samar?!
ahin man an gugma? pinanpapatay na an mga Samarnon han ongoing
militarization ni Palparan waray manla mention dinhi iyo web site.
Samar News (May
21) reports that hundred villagers evacuated from 6 barangay beacuse
of fear and actual atrocities made by heavily armed men, the
military claims that "Any uniformed armed men could be military"
Samar News (May
25) Mr Langunzad testified that a total of 199 cases of kidnapping,
abduction and summary execution was documented in Eastern Visayas in
the last 3 months this testimony was made during the confirmation
hearing of Mr. Palparan and two others at the commission on
appointment this testimony led to the deferment of Palparan
promotion. Samar News also quoted Mr. Palparan that he will wipe out
the communist in Eastern Visayas within 6 months (he's still in the
70's) can anyone tell him na pawala na an hard core na mga
communista but he's campaign gains him more enemy instead of ally.
Samarnon needs
all the love we can get! Its seems that GOD have forgotten Samar. We
have a governor who steal (kawatan!!! shes not even from Samar!) a
provincial board whos so corrupt that they even steal the calamity
fund of the province. Samar is one of the poorest province in the
country yet this kagalanggalang na mga official have the face to
steal the CALAMITY FUND! have any of you seen our provincial
hospital of Catbalogan??? I'm sure kinakawat liwat ito nira an fund.
Mr. beltran said it well "a mockery of public office as public
trust"
I appeal to all
Samarnon na its high time that we should stand together on the
issues of our basic human rights to be treated humanely by our
government, what we have in Samar is a military dictator and a
sesame street kind of provincial board and governor (dont worry mga
kagalangalang I heard na palit na ni Mila an kaso ha Ombudsman iya
kuno boyfriend na taga Masbate and lead man kay diri na kaya ni Ong
an Manila, Cebu lang daw kaya ni Ong) Yes! napalit na an kaso nila,
Happy times are here again lalo na may lobby fund an mga mining
company ha Samar para sa inyo mga kagalangalang na mga bokal at
syempre kay Gov. Yes! tuloy na tuloy and mining sa Samar inspite of
the declaration of DENR official na Samar will be mining free
province (Inuwat la kita nira)
Its so sad that
this people who where given the opportunity in history to serve and
make a difference in the lives of our people that they be remembered
for the right that they could have done instead choose to be
oppressor, judge and executioner. Lets us demand for what is morally
upright and constitutional, its that to much to ask for?
Did GOD forgotten
Samar? lets us all pray for healing and lets ask GOD to please stop
the bloodshed and help us open the heart of our official that they
see the cry and the desperation of our people. PLEASE serve the
people. GUGMA HAN SAMAR Ahin na an iyo gugma? kailangan na namon ito,
dako kamo nga mga tao puwide kamo mag lobby para ma tuwid it aton
hinigugma nga SAMAR!

Surviving the tsunami in Thailand, I'm
amazed and happy to come across this website. We are only 4 guys
from Catbalogan here (Floro Tizon, Jacinto Cruz, Japs Sevilla).
We've been living and playing music here for quite sometime and are
always discussing Catbalogan which makes us homesick. Keep up the
good work. You can always count on our support.

This site makes me proud I am from
Samar! I've been reading the articles, the news, the posts. They
really embody the sentiments that engulf me everytime I pass by the
squatters are near our place, even in the relocation areas in Cavite
(and in some parts of Calabarzon area) and meet my fellow Samarnons/Leyteños.
Pag napapadaan ako sa area ng Dasmariñas, at may nakakainuman akong
kababayan (pag swerte, tuba, kahit may halong tubig para dumami!)
napapatanong ka kung bakit nagsisiksikan kami sa isang lugar na
laging tinatakot na mademolish, walang pagkain, mataniman, walang
trabaho, (sa videoke, may maka-teybol ka pang kababayan; Ginoo,
makangaralas!) habang ang lugar natin ay napakayaman. The answers
are already articulated here, in this site. I feel the sincerity of
the vision and mission of the cyber organization. Damo nga salamat
ha iyo.
Mga waray taramayon? (believe me, even
in our own country- in Manila!, marginalized din tayo!) We do not
deserve it!
Thank you for taking up the cause!
Suporta po ako! Waray ako kwarta, pero
mabulig ako in a way I can.

To Prof. Torres,
Thanks for the responses, it surely is
nice to know other Samarnons doing well in this part of the world
ideologically. My pride!
I have a problem though. You offered
us to subscribe to the movement but try as I may, tinurutulbok hine
nga mga links, waray gud ako paka buenas nga makakita han tama nga
link. Please help. We are overly enthusiastic about getting
involved.
Kan Mr. Batica, salamat daman han imo
pagkilala han akon ginhuhunahuna nga magkaurusa kita, bisan la kun
dinhi ha cyberspace. At least, siguro ini an magigin tinikangan hit
masisiring nga "true linking of the hands" ha aton ngatanan hit mga
Samarnon. Hi kita ebidensya hit nahinanabo ha Samar: Yadi kita ha
langyaw dara hit rason nga pan-ekonomiya. Ginikan kita dara han
pangiskuyla, nahingadto kita ha Manila, Cebu o bisan diin. Linakat
kita ha kahirayuan and I am not certain if it is to the disadvantage
of our respective towns but couldn't we have stayed and help around?
Samar is not getting any better and I am not sure if it is getting
worse. The point I need to extend to all of us is the need to reach
back. I see in this site the nobility of purposes for everything
that is here and I see so much good. Salamat nga daku.
Hi-unong hit cooperation, may-ada ko
binati nga istorya: There was a man from China who went to a
theater. Suddenly, the electricity went off. There was a slight
panic but a reasonable voice rose over the din and funny, it had an
accent. "Raise your hands," it said. And as everyone raised their
hands, the electricity went on again. People looked for the source
of the voice. Quite embarrassed, the Chinese man explained, "In
China, they say many hands make light work."
Needless to say, can we all raise our
hands to make light work?

Cesar,
You have a couple
of nice points there (An urgent need for reflection...). But first, about the rallyst for hire: One of
our wards, an amputee, (whose old 2nd hand ill-fitting knee down
prosthesis donated by a bumbay we replaced with one costing
P12,000), told me about a "contractor" gathering rallyist promising
exactly that amount (P500).
On one occasion
(about 2 yrs ago), they were told to assemble near Paco park where a
bus was supposed to fetch them as guests of ex-FL Marcos. He even
showed me a crude leaflet of a "Marcos Foundation" extolling the
virtues of the 1st Lady and promising some sort of assistance for
"livelihood". They were supposed to be 5 bus loads in all to be
brought to a certain occasion outside Manila. But they ended up
walking to Liwasang Bonifacio for a 'generic' anti-everything rally.
You know, 'yung tipong "Down with everything up!!! rally". Anyway,
he told me that they were given only P200 (siguro dahil walang
pukpukan) and promising the balance "next time na lang". Smart
talaga no?
On ceasefire and
peace talks: Even during the time of Marcos that has been one of the
frustrations of our combat troops. The father of a childhood friend
who was a veteran of the Kamlon campaign in Jolo with the 10th or
11th BCT said that on one govt blitzkrieg they were clearly on the
upperhand when orders "direct from the Palace" from Code 1 gave the
ceasefire order! Galit na galit si Col. Chavez (of Luksuhin,
Calatagan) as his radio man beside him who was bleeding wanted to
pursue the fight together with the rest of the boys. I think the
radioman died in that episode. Am not sure if the Kamlon case was
Marcos' time but I've heard several similar situations in the
Mindanao campaign during his regime.
Of course we want
peacetalks than the gory sight of mutilated bodies and weeping
widows but when push comes to shove and leads to a firefight e
tapusin na ng hwag ng maulit o lumaki pa ang gulo! Really sorry to
say that, pero ganyan talaga sa gyerra. Look what is happening now.
We are still counting dead bodies from both sides. Of course better
if the anti-govt forces are overwhelmed to surrender.
You know, sa
tingin ko di naman talagang masasamang tao itong sila Karl Marx,
Lennin, Mao at iba pa (maliban 'dun sa nag-papalakol sa ulo ni
Trotsky!). During their time there were really social injustices
that must me stopped. Sabi nga ni V.I. Lennin: "Revolution is the
midwife of an old society pregnant with a new one" Sagot ko lang,
hwag namang Caesarian section agad ang intervention. Mas madugo yan!
At hindi pang midwife yan. Duon na ako sa tamang pamamaraan mas
na-aangkop sa sitwasyon.
I trully believe
that what we really need is a revolution from within. A reflective
focus on our interior life to weed out the causes of our alienation
from one another and to God- our tendency to allow ourselves to be
overwhelmed by greed! If only more people will indulge in that
exercise the revolution will surely be bloodless and successful and
more humane.
Lastly, you
mentioned John Paul II. He was a passionate shepherd who really gave
it all to his flock. He emptied himself totally as his motto "Totus
Tuus" promised to God and humanity. Yes! For me the disintegration
of the then powerful monolithic communist Soviet Union was a miracle
promised by our Lady of Fatima! Another reason why I strongly cling
to my faith.
Besides, kung ang
buhay at pananampalataya ay iha-hambing natin sa isang sugal, or if
we are to gamble about our life and faith, I might as well bet on
God. If I lose, then I merely lose the chance to indulge in a finite
life of orgy. But if I win, well... what does eternal life of
happiness mean to anyone? Boring? The choice is ours.
Have a nice
weekend amigo.

To Mr. Cesar Torres,
We came from the Eastern Samar towns
of Sulat and San Julian and both my wife and I sponsor our towns
"unofficial" web sites. We would like to ask your permission to link
your site to ours, there are just so much good news which concerns
all of the Samar Island population. Better yet, I am proposing a web
ring for all Samar sites and so we can all work together to improve
the whole of the island.
Thank you very much!

Samarnon.
I am glad I came across to this
website. I am from Bry Dawa, about 45 minutes by pumpboat from the
town proper of Basay.
Our province has long been neglected,
especially the remote barangays. A litany of problems which are the
root causes of insurgency and poverty. Education, agriculture and
environment and neglected and becoming worst.
I congratulate the people behind the
creation of this website. I hope that this will become an avenue of
interactions of concerned Samarnons towards the upliftment of the
present situation of our beloved province.

Samar Government Officials headed by
Milagrosa Tan was charged by the Ombudsman for Plunder. Yet, nothing
has been done until this time. Shouldn't they be suspended from
holding their office now? Let the Province of Samar rest from these
corrupt lady governor and her cohorts! Let's all work together, the

I am writing to make clarifications on
the issue raised by Mrs. Susan Aclo-Arce in one of her messages in
this discussion board dated last September 25, 2004 regarding her
donation of balikabayan box of disposal syringes, mga IVs, etc. to
Samar Provincial Hospital.
I received the box through Jenson

them to acknowledge and thank you for your donations.
Unfortunately, I am no longer

Ha imo Purificacion,
Salamat hini nga imo pagpukaw han
Gugma ha Samar pinaagi hini nga imo mga pakiana. Una ha ngatanan,
pinaagi hin pagpakilala - taga Basay ako, ngan batid hit kabutang
yana hiton area hit Basay, Suhoton, Marabut, ngan iba pa nga mga
bungto nga hirani hit Basay. Maiha na ako nga waray hingangadto ha
Borongan, kundi naka-escuela ako didto, sanglit it Eastern Samar,
diri gud iton langyaw nga lugar para ha ak.
1. Matuod, rico iton Samar kon mga
unob nga bahandi it karo-kayakan, sugad hit kagugub-an, mina, dagat,
mga salog, nga iba pa. Kundi tikang la matukod an mina hadto ha
Bagacay, ngan an kan Elizalde hadto mina didto ha MacArthur,
nakakita kita, an mga Samareño han pag-iba han aton kapaligiran, an
mga salog ug mga sapa nga inaabot han hugaw tikang han mga mina, kon
waray kamatay dinayon nala hin paghubas. Ngan tikang liwat
magtikang an baga waray na katapusan nga panmulod hin mga kahoy ha
aton mga kagugub-an, sige naman liwat an nawaray na katapusan nga
paglunupi han kauumhan ug mga tuna han lomolopyo ha Samar. Sugad
hit kadam-an nga mga lugar ha Filipinas, it Samar nasarig hit
pag-uma, hit agricultura ngan pangisda para pinakamahinungdanon nga
kinahanglanon hit tawo - an pagkaon ngan pakabuhi. Yana nga inawat
na an aton han daw sugad hin waray katapusan nga pagmina ngan pag-logging
han hadto, plano na liwat hit gobierno nga abrihan na liwat an Samar
kay basi makasulod an mga compañia hin mina.
Dako na nga darahug an nahimo hini nga
mga logging ngan mining operations, nga di ngani mga taga-Samar an
mga tag-iya. Kon aton pasudlon na liwat an mga compañia hin mina,
ano namanla it mahibibilin para hit mga tawo, para hit mga
tominongnong nga Samareño, labi na gud an inarikawot la nga
nagpapatigayon hin pag-uma o ngan pangisda. Kon bumalik it mga
mina, ngain man it paghapil hin hugaw ("mining waste") nga seguro
nga resulta hit pagmina - ngadto na liwat hit mga sapa, salog,
kadagatan. Ngan ano it mahihimo hini nga epekto hin calidad hit
tuna, mahihimo nala nga "ilo nga tuna" kay waray naman maturok.
Matuod may kakurian yana ha Samar,
makuri it trabaho ngan pakabuhi hit mga tawo, kundi it pagmina ba it
pinaka-maupay nga solusyon hini nga pagkuri? Sidngon ta pa nga
makakabulig o makakahatag it mga taga-mina hin trabaho para hit mga
Samareño, ano man nga klase hin trabaho? Ka peon, parapala, bangin
kon de buenason - ka foreman? Pira man it sueldo nga kikitaon hit
mga trabajador? Sadang na ba ini nga razon pag-abri na liwat hin
tuna, kon it aton mga salog ngan mga sapa magmamara, o sino aawton
it aton mga kakahuyan ngan mga uma? Kon baga ha iningles pa,
there's an economic opportunity, but what are the social,
environmental, and human costs involved? Sayud naman kita han
nahitabo didto ha Marinduque. Is mining worth the investment in
terms of social, environmental, or human devastation? Masusukol ba
naton pina-agi hin dolyar it pagsacrificio ngan pagsakit hit kadam-an?
Kon huhuna-hunaon, lugi gud kita.
Ngan labot pa, may gad ngani
sinesering nga "development opportunity", kundi it "fundamental
question": "Ano nga klase hin pagpauswag, ngan pagpauswag para kan
kanay?" I'm not against development, but we always have to ask the
fundamental question: "Development for whom?" Hin-o gud it
magpupulos ngan makaka-ganancia hini nga pagmina - it compañia mismo,
it gobierno (pinaagi hin mga buwis ngan "license fees"). Mas
magpupulos it mga mining companies hini nga kasugad, ngan magpupulos
man liwat it gobierno pinaagi hin pagkolekta hin buwis. There will
be added revenues to the national treasury, but at the same time -
aren't there other sources of revenues? Don't small businesses and
individuals and families also pay taxes? Kon kulang man it
contribucion hit mga gudti nga negocio, unta buligan nala ini hira
nga dumako ngan magrabong, kay basi liwat daro-dako it ira
contribucion. Kay bisan it tinalagudti, natitirok gihapon (basta di
la ginkukurib-kutib hit mga kurakot).
2. Ano it angay buhaton hit mga
Samareño? Mag-urusa, ugupan it mga grupo nga nasupak hini nga plano
hin pagmina na liwat ha Samar. Kon it mga provincial government
diri nagi-os, ada - kadto kita hit municipal level, aton atubangon
it mga mayor ngan consejales kay basi may mapasaka nga mga ordenanza
kontra hit pag-mina. Have municipalities declare their barangays,
sitios, and areas under their jurisdiction as "Mining-Free Zones".
As for the ordinary citizens and concerned citizens - continue
information campaigns. Lamragi ta it aton mga igkasi Samareño,
pukawon ta hira. Diri ini mahihimo hin pipira ka tawo, it lomolopyo
hit bug-os nga isla kinahanglan tumindog ngan makigbisog kontra hini
nga plano.
3. Waray pagpupulsan hin mga yano nga
taghimungto hini nga plano pagpabalik han mining companies. Waray
sinesering nga "responsible" mining, kay bisan didi ha America nga
avanzado na it tecnologia, damo la gihap it nakarit basta ngaran na
nga pag-mina it karo-kayakan, kay bis pa unanhon - kon uukaron it
tuna, kinahanglan man liwat nga may ihahapil. Sering pa ni Mr.
Unding Orlanes, usa hit mga banggi-itan nga mga anti-mining
activists: "Tubtub man san-o it pag-inukad, ngan ano man liwat it
mauukad?" It makuri pa hini kay iba gud it kapaligiran hit Samar -
damo it aton mga "subterranean" nga salog, sapa, burabud. Takay kon
sige it pag-inukad, may gihapon pagtapo hin pag-ukad ngan hit aton
mga "subterranean" o ilarom ha tuna nga mga salog ngan sapa. Di
pati it aton "water source" apektado na hini! Ano pa man it iimnon
hit mga tawo, kon it ira tubig "contaminated" na, naglubog na ngan
nasarakan na hin hugaw tikang ha mina?
Salamat hini nga imo mga paki-ana,
Purificacion, kay napukaw liwat ako ngan nakapanhuna-huna. Ayaw na
kita hit nga pag-mina, kay dako na nga darahug an nahimo hini han
hadto pa. Ayaw na kita hit nga logging, kay it aton kabubkiran -
nagkapapahak na. Bisan ngani it aton supply hin isda natika-waray
la, kay kitaa nala iton nga Maqueda Bay - baga himaratyon na, daw
sugad hin usa nala nga langaw it mapirma. Protect the environment,
protect our land, sea, waterways and others. For without the
environment, there can be no people. Waray mga kalibungan o
kapaligiran, waray mga unob nga bahandi - waray man liwat tawo,
waray kabubuwason.
Asya la ini it akon mahia-asoy yana.
Bangin madugangan pa ini ha umarabot nga mga adlaw. Ha pagkayana,
maigo na gad seguro ini nga aton mga baton nga dugang nga pakiana -
kay basi gud an ngatanan malamragan mahitungod hini nga issue.

Maopay nga adlaw ha ngatanan!
Una han ngatanan naghuhumalatag ako
hin katalahuran han ngatanan nga miembro o naapi hine nga grupo.
Tuguti ako niyo nga makabulig ako hit irestorya naton kay dire
nailob it akon kalugaringon nga diri ako mag reach out ngadto hit
akon iba nga mga igkase Samarnon pag pakita hin concern hit ato
kalibungan, komo ako usa nga taga Eastern Samar (San Julian).
Kon iyo mahibabaruan, yana nga panahon
our national government is pushing for the revitalization of mining
in the country. I am sure that our dear Samar will not be spared of
this thrust of the government considering the richness of the island
in terms of natural resources like: forest resources, biodiversity
and of course mineral resources.
Mayda la ako usa nga pakiana hit mga
igkase ko Samarnon. We are fighting hard for the legislation of the
SINP to protect our biodiversity resources and to uplift the living
condition of the Samareños who depend on the resources of the Samar
Island. But here comes the thrust of government for mining nga ira
ginbabanabana nga magsosolvar hit kakurian (economic crises) not
only of the Samareños but of the whole country in general.
Questions:
1. Ano it aton masesering hionong hine,
ano it aton reaction hine nga move hit government yana?
2. Ano it aangay buhaton hit mga
Samareños?
3. Kon panaglitan waray na gud mahimo
pagkontra hine nga dako nga plano hit gobyerno kay makakaupay man
ada ine hit aton nasud considering the multifarious benefits of
mining, kaya ba naton mga Samareños ine nga masunod?
- pagseguro magkakaada hin responsible mining ha aton lugar para
malikayan an destroso?
- pagseguro nga adton mga Samareños makakatagamtam hine nga
benepisyo para mag-upay an ira mga panginabuhi?
- pagseguro nga an proceeds han mining makadto gud han kaban han
gobyero para kita makabayad han aton utang?
- pagseguro nga makabantay kita nga dire an proceeds han mining
makukurakot han aada ha poder?
- pagseguro nga dire la an mga langyawanon an makakabenipisyo han
pagmina?
Damo pa nga duro it akon mga pakiana
salit bulige ako hin pagbaton bangin niyan ha urhi ibalik ini ha
akon nga mga pamakiana.
Salamat hin madamo ngan hinaut unta
nga mag tikauswag la an Samar bisan pa ine pag-unan hon.

Finally, I was able to go over Mano
Profesor's article on GMA's most recent visit to L.A., wherein our
dear professor raises a whole host of issues. Of course, I agree
with most of the issues he has raised, especially the issue of not
relying solely on the president, the government, or a few leaders to
uplift and clean up the country. Change and ridding the country of
graft and corruption should be everybody's business, everybody
should pitch in. But of course, the people at the helm should also
have the credibility if they want the people to rally around their
appeals to clean up, fix up, and get moving. Change doesn't happen
overnight, it only comes with a long-term and sustained effort. On
my most recent visit to Mexico, a catchy slogan really fascinated
me: "El progreso requiere esfuerzo" - "Progress requires effort."
Correcto mundo, amigo - An kauswagan nakinahanglan hin panalimbasog.
An maupay nga panuyo, inu-updan hin maupay nga buhat.
Agidaw, ano - hirayo pa gud kita han
aton mga hingyap. Kundi waray sapayan, kay padayon gihap kita han
aton mag-upay nga panuyo para han Samar. Padisan unta an mga pulong
hin buhat nga magdadara ha aton ngadto ha kauswagan.

nasalirung hin aton kagugub-an, HALA! dire la watershed naton an
