Our crews are also benefited because when somebody orders food products from those areas, customers would just say: ‘our house is few meters away from or before “Jollibee” (San Pablo Memorial Park).’”<br /><br />The other memorial just opposite “Jollibee” is called “McDonalds” (or San Gabriel Memorial Garden).<br /><br />“If the use of our company’s name is to help people facilitate their smooth and easy identification of the place and not any way violating or intended to malign our company’s identity, then it would just be alright,” a McDonalds’ San Pablo Branch officer who requested anonymity told the Barangay Newsweekly by phone.<br /><br />The McDonald spokesman admitted that he did not even know that such practice is happening in San Pablo City. “Our food business remains strong since its establishment in the city. Sa palagay ko okay lang yan kung nakakatulong naman sa mga tao (I guess it’s just okay if it (use of McDo) would be at the service of the people.”<br /><br />Jes Rain said, this practice of the San Pablenos is just a testimony that we are very popular in the consciousness of the people. And we are happy to know that we are being treated as “co-equal” or one which can be competitive of the food chain giant Mc Donalds.<br /><br />The San Pablo Memorial Park and San Gabriel Memorial Garden are both located just after Teomora Village, Brgy. San Gabriel, which is about one kilometer away from the city proper.<br /><br />There are two other cemeteries in the city which are also being named after two popular restaurants/food chains in the locality. One is “Prosperity Restaurants” in reference to the centuries-old San Pablo City Public Cemetery located along M. Leonor St. Cor. Maharlika Highway. The other one is the Himlayang San Pableno cemetery located at Brgy Wawa (Del Remedio), near the railroad area. It is called “Welcome” in reference to Welcome Restaurant located at the heart of the city.<br /><br />Residents said, most of those who can’t afford the high cost of burial in the other three cemeteries are usually buried here.<br /><br />The practice of naming the cemeteries with aliases, according to residents, started with the PSAF (Police Special Assistance Force) who made it easier for them to assign escorts to funeral processions by using short names of popular food chains rather than the cemeteries’ lengthy names.<br /><br />The PSAF had noticed that San Gabriel Memorial Garden’s main gate is an Arc shape resembling the famous McDonald’s Arch symbol, this gave them the idea to use McDo as its name. What followed was the assigning of names for the rest of the cemeteries.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the Parish of St. Gabriel Archangel, in Brgy. San Gabriel has announced its schedule of Masses in the parish Church and in the cemeteries and subsequent simultaneous blessings of all the tombs right after each Mass in the cemetery on All Saints Day and All Souls Day.<br /><br />On All Saints Day, November 1, the First Mass is at 7:45 am at the Parish Church; Second Mass at 2:00 pm at the San Pablo Memorial Park (Jollibee); and Third Mass at 3:00 pm at San Gabriel Memorial Garden (McDo). On All Souls Day, the First Mass is at 7:45 am and second Mass at 6:30 pm both at the parish Church in San Gabriel.<br />FR.

CRUZ, LAGUNA --- Farmers, industrial workers, fishermen, women who expressed various problems subjected to their respective sectors have appealed for help from the government and the Church for the solution if not the end of their long-time struggle against poverty and social injustice during the church-initiated Bishop-Peasant Forum on Friday here.<br /><br />The forum initiated by the Diocesan Social Action Center of the Diocese of San Pablo facilitated the dialogue and exchange of views, grievances, proposals between leaders of the multi-sectoral groups, namely farmers, industrial workers, fishermen, women and the government represented by the Office of the President (Malacanang), Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Church represented by Don Bosco Bishop Leo M. Drona and Social Action Director Fr. Rene B. Eriga.<br /><br />Among most thought provoking discourses during the Forum was the one rendered by Romeo "Ka Romy" Olaez of the Hacienda Yulo Farmers Alliance (HYFA) of Canlubang , Calamba City where he revealed and presented statistics of rich people using their influences and power to manipulate the lands they and ancestors had been tilling for decades and the government's failure to protect them from being harassed and exploited.<br /><br />Olaez said, the land they and their forefathers had been farming since 1905 actually involved 8,000 hectares which their ancestors had been paying taxes to the Americans during the US-controlled government in the country. It was in 1948 that the land suddenly became the property of the Madrigal Family and eventually became the property of the Yulo family.<br /><br />The Yulo patriarch who became Mayor and Administrator of Calamba City had successfully applied for the re-classification of the "Yulo Lands" in 1993 from being Agricultural into Industrial, Commercial and Residential.<br />Today, said property or parts of it is now being claimed by another owner since the land became converted into Industrial, Commercial and Residential in 1993.<br />From that year on, farmers and their families had been subjected to various forms of harassments and violence. They also read in the papers and heard in different news that "NUVALI Project, Aurora, Eton City" will soon be established in the area to dabbed as "New Makati in the South".<br /><br />Prior to the talk of Olaez, his fellow farmers including women and youths presented in artistic display their sad and bitter ordeal as people being forced to vacate their farms of about 100 years in the "name of progress."<br /><br />The farmer leader also aired complaints that they have no assurance for CARP extension from the house bill 4077 which is supposed to be benefiting the farmers.<br />He also aired farmers' continued problem with DAR (Department of Agrarian Reform) and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo they seemed not to be addressing the Farmers concerns. "We have lots of unused land areas which we can use but there has been no permission for us to work since there is no law that will support our claim."<br />"We are thankful for the support given by the Diocese of Laguna and local officials supporting us in our rights and claims. Special thanks to Bishop Leo Drona and Fr. Rene Eriga [SAC] director and all the priests involved in this endeavour."<br />Another provocative discourse was the one delivered by Labor Union Leader Noel Alemania who expressed how the Government contradicts itself from the Constitution in dealing with workers in the country. He cited an example of workers' harassment by those in power like the big companies, his colleague and former president of their Union at Nestle Philippine in Cabuyao town (Diosdado Fortuna) was shot to death.<br />He also expressed workers fears and disappointments as their ranks have been subjected to all kinds of repressions and violence each time they went to the streets for their legitimate demands.<br /><br />He also expressed dismay that as though companies and government institutions at present have connived to enforce contractualization policy and prohibited their rights to create a labor Union that will be against the Company's interest.<br /><br />He said that government are even protecting the companies against the workers suffering from companies injustices. Nestle for example was given protection by the government by putting a police detachment at the company's site. Such practices are also the same at Toyata wherein a Police detachment was placed inside the company's compound for the company's protection against the mal-treated workers.<br />Many of the workers as are suffering from forced labor rendering work beyond 8 hours. There were also cases wherein Leaders of Labor Unions were brutally killed for fighting for the workers' rights and welfare.<br /><br />The labor leader appealed to the Bishop, the Social Action Center, government personnel (represented by under-secretary Seguerra) and the military present (202nd Brigade Commander Col. Tristan Kison and Col. Ricardo Visaya based in Laguna) during the forum to organize regular dialogues/consultations like this one so that they would be given venues for mutual understanding with authorities and to give them opportunities to ventilate their problems.<br /><br />Another farmer leader from Pila, Laguna Jojo Gonzales Province of Laguna in his talk, revealed that the province which used to be abundant of its natural resources has now been reduced into a place where farmers have limited areas to cultivate or to apply agriculture due to the conversion of agricultural lands into industrial, commercial, residential lands. "There is lack of government support for the farmers of Laguna, who are now bracing with economic difficulties."<br /><br />Representing the Women Sector, Sis. Bombet Malinao of Calamba City expounded on the role of women in society. She said, the women in the society have shared their husbands responsibility in supporting the family and children. Hence, said most of the private and public offices including businesses have been ruled by women. She also presented the women sector's concern in the society particularly concerns like the lack of education, poverty, unemployment, peace and order situation and the like.<br />The forum which started at past 9:00 am on Friday at the Immaculate Conception Catholic School in Sta. Cruz, Laguna and ended at about 3:00 pm, was also participated in by students from the Laguna State Polytechnic University, Sta. Cruz Campus who performed cultural presentations during an intermission portion of the day. The total number of participants is estimated at about 1,000.<br /><br />The nuns of the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Face of Jesus and the host parish of the Immaculate Conception led by Fr.

Drona was killed in a motorcycle accident in the early morning on Friday at the national highway near his residence, said the parish secretary of St. James parish in Paete town.<br /><br />Michael Cadapan, assistant secretary of Paete parish identified the victim as Leo Fadul, 34, single and the elder brother of newly ordained priest Fr. Francis Eugene A. Fadul, a native of Paete.<br /><br />Fadul was appointed by the Bishop as his personal secretary just about two weeks ago.<br /><br />Cadapan said there were two versions circulating about the victim's death.<br /><br />One is that, at about 6:00 to 7:00 am, the victim mounted his motorcycle and was leading into the municipal market. But few meters away, along Barangay 7, Bagumbayan, the motor suddenly experienced trouble causing the motor and the victim to crush into the road sustaining severe head injuries which resulted to his fatal killing.<br /><br />Another version was that, the motorcycle –riding victim was bumped from behind by a speeding vehicle that sent him and motor crushing into the concrete road that caused the victim's instant death.<br /><br />Due to his severe head injury, the victim expired before he was being brought into the nearby hospital for treatment, said Cadapan.<br /><br />It was noted that the Fadul family's patriarch had just died of natural causes about five years ago.<br /><br /><br /><br />Meanwhile, two more separate motorcycle accidents had caused the deaths recently of the Bishop's kin in Pangil town and the demise of the parish secretary of Our Lady's Nativity Parish in Pangil.<br /><br />Killed in the motorcycle accident last July 25, 2008 was a former Overseas Filipino Worker and husband of the Pangil Church choir member, the late Toyti Drona, a relative of the prelate.<br /><br />Reports said, that Drona was then heading home early in the evening of July 25, after attending the Fiesta Celebration in Paete when he and his motor had crushed into the national road in an accident. He went on coma right after the accident and died a week later in a hospital.<br /><br /><br />The parish secretary of Pangil Parish named Benilda "Nhyl" Baybay, 30, had died when her newly bought motorcycle which she was driving together with a passenger friend had cause some imbalance while in motion, that suddenly sent the victims crushing against a concrete cement inflicting Baybay severe head and body injuries which caused her eventual death, later during the day in the hospital.<br /><br />Her passenger who sustained some fractures in her legs had luckily survived the fatal accident.<br /><br /><br /><br />ROMULO O.

I guess one has top lumb deep into the hearts of the people concerned to get a glimpse of the reason.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I’m referring to why, in spite of all the explanations on the subject given by the Church Magisterium, even highly placed priest-professors in seminaries and other ecclesiastical centers of learning do no understand the true nature and role of conscience in our life. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It would be very easy to brand them as incorrigible modernists and relativists whose congenital defect is their overpowering self-confidence that they hold the ultimate key to the answers of our faith’s mysteries and moral questions. But that, I’m afraid, would still be off the mark.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By the way, wonder of wonders, there are quite a number of them dangerously lodged in these formation centers, giving rise to fears that the training of our future priests and other religious men and women could be seriously compromised.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In many published papers and commentaries, posted even in the Internet,they affirm that conscience is our ultimate arbiter to know what isright and wrong in our actions. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They can go so far as to admit that we can consider and make inputs from other sources, even from the Church teaching, but in the end, it’sour conscience that makes our actions moral or immoral.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Theyunderstand conscience not only as the ultimate judge of the moral quality of our actions. It is also an independent and supreme judgewho makes its judgments alone and no authority can question it.That’s how they understand the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1223955769_30">freedom of conscience</span>.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In this set-up, it would seem that even God has to defer to the judgmentof one’s conscience. As to the Church authority over it, one better has to forget it. In their mind, our conscience is supreme and infallible.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thus,they tend to flaunt the reasoning that in spite of how wrong theiraction is if judged according to Church-taught moral principles, they still would feel it was right, since it’s their conscience thatsaid so. No question can be asked, period. You have reached the end of the line!<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is really strange, because ever since I became aware of the existenceof conscience, I always understood it as a judgment I make about themorality of my actions according to a law that is not mine. It’s a law written in my heart, definitely not by me, but by someone else.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Later,I was convinced that this law must have come from my creator, God. Iunderstood conscience as a judgment I make always with God, no matterhow poorly I perceive him. Even if I read him wrongly, it can never be a judgment arrived at by my lonesome self.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Everything tells me I do not and cannot live alone, by myself, though I canfoolishly think that I am alone, which sadly happens from time totime. I’m always into some relationship. That’s how I understandmy life or anybody’s life to be.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thus,I was happy to learn years later on that the Catechism, for example,upholds this childhood insight of mine just as it the insight of manyothers. Some relevant points could be the following:<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">*1776 – “Deep within his conscience man discovers a law which hehas not laid upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice…soundsin his heart at the right moment… For man has in his heart a lawinscribed by God.”<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">*1779 – “Return to your conscience, question it… Turn inward,brethren, and in everything you do, see God as your witness.” (St.Augustine)<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">*1795 – “<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1223955769_31" style="border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer; ">Conscience</span> is man’s most secret core, and hissanctuary.
