ANGELES CITY—A judge here extended the temporary environmental protection order (Tepo) that another judge issued last week against a permit by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. allowing the cutting of 486 trees to widen the stretch of Manila North Road here and Mabalacat City.
In a Dec. 14 order released here on Monday, Judge Ma. Angelica Paras-Quiambao extended the Tepo while the case is pending in her sala, Branch 59 of the Regional Trial Court here.
The defendants are Ochoa, Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson, Environment Secretary Ramon Paje and Lormelyn Claudio, Environmental Management Bureau director in Central Luzon.
“A Tepo is issued in favor of the plaintiffs enjoining the defendants, their subordinates and personnel, and all persons acting under their authority or instructions from cutting, harming, injuring, earth-balling or transferring the subject trees that will result in the prejudice of the subject trees along the stretch of MacArthur Highway [MNR] until the termination of the case,” Paras-Quiambao said.
She also ordered the branch sheriff to “periodically monitor the existence of acts that are the subject matter of this Tepo until further order from the court.”
Paras-Quiambao extended the Tepo because of the “unrebutted evidence” by Save the Trees Coalition (STC) leader, Cecile Yumul. Ochoa, Singson, Paje and Claudio did not submit any oral or written statement that their agencies had canceled a plan to cut the trees, as Antonio Molano, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) director in Central Luzon, told the Inquirer last week.
Francisco Yabut, STC lawyer, said the order secured the survival of the 486 trees, mostly old acacia, and recognized the right of his clients to a clean environment from the benefits provided by the trees.
The first Tepo, good for 72 hours, was issued by Executive Judge Omar Viola.
The permit issued by Ochoa was one of many he gave to 174 projects by the Department of Energy, DPWH and local governments of Baguio City and Isabela. Tonette Orejas, Inquirer Central Luzon

“It is this perspective that these two giant natural features appear more striking as landmarks to the immediate universe of these early settlers.”
How did the volcanic activities of Arayat and Pinatubo shape landcapes and mindsapes in the Kapampangan Region?
Finding ancient kapangpangan setting, Kapangpangan or kapampangan as a place actually refers to the region of riverbanks or coastal areas. This setting is dependent on the ever changing and active movements of river patterns since most of the major rivers in the present lower half of the Central Plain have their headwaters originating from the slopes of Mt. Pinatubo.
In some geological studies, it was hypothesized that the palaeoshoreline of Pampanga is traceable up to the area of Guagua and Bacolor, thus making the old kapangpangan setting located on the middle part up to the present Tarlac-Pampanga.
On the other hand, as it was generally known that the sun rises in the east, the initial impression is something to be expected at least for the early settlers of this region. In consequence, it already explains the understanding of how the ancient people see the location of Mt. Arayat as “alaya”, the dawn which makes Mt. Arayat as the “eastern mountain.” This might also explain the old term “sucu”, which is defined by Fray Bergano as “the terminal or end (indeterminate end)”, and in this case the rising point and fullness of the sun’s light (and shape). Can this explain or contradict the “growth” of the other, which is the literal definition of the Pinatubo name? Other namesakes associated to Pinatubo include Pungsalang, which is regarded as the “god of enmity”. Is it because of Pinatubo’s early active state as what early people probably witnessed when it brought ancient volcanic disaster in the region?
The dim image of Pinatubo might be associated to the setting sun as it was idiomatically called before as sucsucan ning aldo, which literally means the “sun that pricks” referring to the location on the western direction, known as albugan, or kalunuran. It is in the same way the term paroba is assigned which refers to the westward direction directly opposite paralaya. Just imagine how stunning the imagination and the strong sense of direction of this early people, seeing Suku as a “bright god”, the “precious sun” that ascends from the east at the back of the silhouette of Arayat mountain and attains its “pangasucu” at noon time and being complemented by the setting grace of Maliari in the west as it is drowned by the ruggedness of Zambales Mountains especially when it becomes meguintalang, the reddened sun as it nears the horizon mentioned by Fray Diego Bergano in his 1732 work.
Another cycle of natural phenomena breaks this daily pattern at least every several generations which is the erupting activities of Mt. Pinatubo. The eruptive history of this volcano has had records of its last two periods prior to the last 1991, namely the Maraunot eruptive period (~3,900-2,300 yr B.P.) and Buag eruptive period (~1500 yr B.P.) which affected the lives of these early inhabitants. The fact that archeological findings already presented evidences of large habitation sites in Porac and in San Marcelino, Zambales, at various stages of time as early as even before the Maraunot eruptive period in Porac. This only proves that these particular areas were once populated and repopulated for several periods during the course of the Pinatubo eruptive history.
Fitting puzzles of Arayat,
Pinatubo and Kapampangan
It is in this synthesis of understanding, where the early spot of the old coastal area of Pampanga can be partly traced. Firstly, if the location of Mt. Arayat proves to be directly found on the east, it relatively locates the opposite land most likely the earlier deltaic plain now thickly covered by the present land area of Tarlac-Pampanga boundary. Secondly, this area is actually the central portion that covers most likely the ancient fanning action of sediments brought by the major rivers that originate from the slopes of Mt. Pinatubo. According to geologist Christopher Newhall, around 2,000 years after the rise of the sea level, another major eruptive history of Mt. Pinatubo occurred, dubbed as the Crow Valley Eruptive Period (~6,000-5,000 yr B.P.) which was during the early part of this activity where at least four thick pyroclastic flows also form prominent layers and terraces in the present Sacobia River. Today this area covers much of the present site of the Tarlac-Pampanga boundary which was formerly known as La Alta Pampanga during the Spanish Period. These fluvial deposits blanket the lower area of the future sugar land of Tarlac Province, emplaced, voluminous pyroclastic-flow deposited among the headwaters of the O’Donnell River which were the source of fluvial sediments forming the present rich sandy loams. Thus if there were already people residing in this old area, most likely that they later migrated southward moving away from the Pinatubo area towards the newly reclaimed land in the south which is now part of coastal Pampanga. The location of Mt. Arayat and the mountain group of Pinatubo in Zambales provide focal point of direction and location of people(s) found living or situated between them which is precisely the old Kapampangan setting, the old deltaic plain.
It is in this case that the old alluvial plain which is relatively much lower in elevation compared to the present area of the Tarlac-Pampanga boundary, that the early settlers in the area have seen the highness of altitude of both mountains. It is this perspective that these two giant natural features appear more striking as landmarks to the immediate universe of these early settlers.
The palaeoenvironment of the former plain made them farmers of the plain and fishermen of the rivers and coast. It is probably for the same reason that the sun and the moon played both as “ari”, the “mikapatad a aldo at bulan” in sustaining their dependency of livelihood and the intricate weaving of their belief system toward their old kapangpangan land.

“The importance of these two bills in promoting the health of the Filipinos cannot be overstated. ”
The past few days have been great days for the Philippine legislation, the health sector, and the Filipino people. The Sin Tax Bill has finally been ratified by the Senate last Tuesday, while the House of Representatives passed the RH Bill on second reading early Thursday morning. These two bills are both championed by health lobbyists across the country, with the aim of improving the general health of the Filipinos.
The Sin Tax Bill proposes to increase the market price of cigarettes and alcohol, thereby discouraging the people, especially those from the poorest sectors of society, from purchasing them. The Reproductive Health Bill, on the other hand, aims to make reproductive health services accessible to poor families.
The importance of these two bills in promoting the health of the Filipinos cannot be overstated.
Lung Cancer is second only to breast cancer in terms of incidence, and with the relatively affordable price of cigarettes in the country today (the Philippines has one of the lowest prices for cigarettes in Southeast Asia), it would be no surprise if lung cancer incidence continues to rise in the next few years. Lung cancer is also the number 1 cancer killer in men. Strokes, heart diseases and, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which have all been linked to smoking, are the three leading causes of death in the country today.
This measure is something that we have needed for a very, very long time. If smoking cannot be banned completely from the country, then we will settle for the next best thing, which is to discourage people from taking up the habit, and using the increase in revenue as a means of bolstering the health sector.
Furthermore, the Reproductive Health Bill will finally address two of the biggest problems that our country faces today: Overpopulation and poverty. It gives the government mandate to provide reproductive health information, education and even free contraceptives to the poor families in the country. Any form of birth control has long been largely out of reach of the poor. Two million babies are born in The Philippines each year and the rate of population growth is four times higher among the poor than the rest of the country. So any form of aid from the government, be it reproductive health education or free contraception, is certainly welcome. What the Reproductive Health Bill fights for and one that I most wholeheartedly agree with is the right of every woman and family to have children by choice, and not by chance. It empowers them to make informed decisions about their health and their future, and ultimately, the health and future of the country.
These bills, especially the Reproductive Health bill, still have a long way to go before they are finally enacted into law, but the events of the past few days are certainly steps in the right direction. It also showed the people, especially the voters for the next election, what our legislators really stand for. All in all, the past few days are indeed a great victory for health and the Filipino people. ●

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Master lantern maker Rainer De Vera Turda has put back Barangay Del Pilar into the championship roster of the Giant Lantern Festival (GLF) last Saturday at the Robinsons Starmills here after it bagged the coveted festival trophy and cash prize of P120,000.
In has been many years since Barangay Del Pilar kept the crown but De Vera Turda and his crew — rotor maker Obardo Yumang and head electrician Antonio Manaloto, Jr. — pulled out a series of tricks and revealed its secret plays to stun reigning champion Barangay Sta. Lucia and its 10,000 bulb-10 rotor power, dashing its hopes of hitting the grand slam of the GLF before thousands of spectators.
“It was perfect timing. Our rotor drivers moved in harmony with the music to show the best of the lanterns’ hues, colors, shades and play from the more than 9,000 bulbs powered by 10 rotors. It’s been a long time since we won the championship but now we are back,” De Vera Turda told Sun.Star Pampanga.
Barangay captain Bernardo “Pandoy” Policarpio, meanwhile, thanked the people of Del Pilar who supported the lantern makers and for making the entry the “Texters Choice” awardee.
“Thank you very much to all who supported us. Del Pilar is back to its glory days and we will do our best to hold on to the trophy in the festivals to come. Congratulations too, to all the winners and participants,” said Policarpio.
The ‘Jinx’
The Del Pilar lantern team expressed optimism that they could finally break the “GLF jinx” where no winner ever made a grand slam. Del Pilar has posted the most number of wins in GLF history, bagging the championship title nine times during the ‘80s.
But according to senior tourism officer Ching Pangilinan-Gonzales, no lantern entry ever made it three years in a row in recent GLF history.
“During the time that Telabastagan was aiming for the grand slam, Barangay Dolores broke its winning streak. This year, the same seemingly jinx happened to Sta. Lucia with Del Pilar’s win,” she said.
Back on the roster of winners too are former champions barangays Telabastagan in second spot and San Jose in close third.
Barangay Dolores, with just 4,000 bulbs and about seven rotors, proved to be the wildcard along with strong contenders Calulut, Del Carmen, San Nicolas, San Pedro, Sto. Niño, and San Juan.
Lights of hope, tradition
Mayor Oscar Rodriguez said the success of this year’s GLF will shine through the victims of Typhoon Pablo to give hope to devastated folk in Compostela Valley and New Bataan and other affected areas in Mindanao.
“We are very happy to share, in the spirit of Christmas, the lights of hope of this year’s GLF. The executive committee has decided to donate to our fellow Filipinos in Mindanao part of the funds generated for this festival on top of the city government’s donation of P200,000 for the victims of Typhoon Pablo. We thank our committed and dedicated private sector partners and volunteers who make each GLF successful,” said Rodriguez.
He added the GLF will be carried on even if he ends his term in 2013.
“The GLF has been institutionalized with a foundation. We are optimistic that even with changes in leadership, the tradition of the ‘Ligligan Parul’ will be carried on by future generations of lantern makers because that is what we are known for in the whole world,” said Rodriguez.

The MOA stated “the use of unmet need as the basis for developing programs and assessing programs is consistent with the policy that focuses in meeting that need rather than trying to change people’s preferences on family planning.”
The State of the Philippine Population Report 5 (SPPR5) explained “unmet need means that even if certain women want to limit or space their children, they are not practicing any family planning method; hence, their need for family planning is not being met.”
According to POPCOM Regional Director Ma. Aurora Quiray, the undertaking is per Administrative Order no. 009 of the Department of Health (DOH) regarding the implementation of the National Strategy towards Reducing Unmet Need for Modern Family Planning as a means of achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on Maternal Health which has been issued in June this year.
DOH will do service delivery and POPCOM will concentrate on demand generation to address the unmet needs for Modern Family Planning, she explained.
POPCOM had already come up with a strategy to track and monitor the said unmet need in Central Luzon “based on specific needs and situation of the area” which was shared to Central Luzon Association of Population Officers and Workers Inc. (CLAPOW), the implementing arm of POPCOM for Population Management Programs and activities.
About 13 P/CPOs coming from the seven provinces of the region had signed in the agreement which was attested by Quiray and DOH’s Regional Director, Leonita Gorgolon.
The National Statistics Office data revealed that more than one-fifth or 22.3 percent of Filipino women had unmet needs for family planning.
“And side by side with this unmet need is the moderate use of family planning methods. This is measure by the contraceptive prevalence rate or percentage of women using a contraceptive method,” it added. ●–Joelyn G. Baluyut
