Carigara II District hosted a 5-Day Residential Training on Instructional Management, Instructional Leadership, and Instructional
Supervision to enhance effective management and supervision of school administrators in their respective assignments.
The training was conducted on November 3-7, 2008 at Carigara II Central School. The training was mandated by Division Memorandum
No. 213, s. 2008 to be attended by the school administrators of the different districts in Leyte Division.
The following districts sent participants: Kananga, Capoocan, Dulag N & S, Burauen I & U, Julita Dagami N, Tolosa NHS (secondary)
and Abuyog. There were more than 70 delegates. Participants who were not able to complete the 5 day session in other venue
which they had attended came on the day they were absent. They were required to complete the sessions before they could receive
their certificates.
The training was conducted by Ricardo C. Nacorda, Leyte Division INSET Coordinator and Education Supervisor in HEKASI; Mrs.
Editha M. Labanta, ES-l in English, and Mr. Marlo Camposano, a young principal from Dagami.
At the opening program, Mayor Anlie Go Apostol said in her inspiring message that no learner should be left behind, teachers
should give special attention to the needs of their pupils. Teachers should discover the strengths and deficiencies of their
pupils. This message was also taken up by the lead trainer, Mr. Nacorda, as the salient point in his topics.
No registration fee was required from the participants, who enjoyed free meals (breakfast, lunch, and supper) and snacks during
the 5-day sessions. Those who came from distant towns stayed in, while those who had their service cars went home every night.
Finance was shouldered by the Leyte Division fund. Carigara I and II delegates hosted the fellowship night with finger foods,
drinks, and videoke which provided the music for dancing and singing.
Participants would remember this occasion as a memorable moment when they were in Carigara.
Mrs. Bemardita C. Nivera, Carigara II District Supervisor, supported by the school heads and teachers, gave tokens to the
participants from other districts. Though the tokens were just little items, which included an eye-catching Mickey Mouse from
Congresswoman Trinidad G. Apostol of the 2nd District of Leyte, and some nuggets of wisdom reproduced in leaflets, they demonstrated
the hospitality of the Carigaranons, and were much appreciated by the participants.
Epifanio R. Baculanta Jr., Principal.
The road towards development and social justice, peace and order and public safety playa key role by providing the needed
environment for investment, commerce, growth and the delivery of government service. Thus, as advocates and defenders of peace
in the community and as police force multipliers, it has been a must that our Barangay Tanods possess the needed knowledge
and skills and the proper attitude to perform their duties, enforce our laws and help bring about a peaceful and safe community.

Municipality of Carigara, under the leadership of Hon. Anlie Go Apostol, with the DILG and its attached agencies (PNP, BFP,
BJMP) and the Liga ng Mga Barangay, has successfully motivated the Barangay Tanods in the municipality. Moreover, this training
re-establishes the high level of coordination between our public safety agencies in the municipality.
Topics discussed;
1. Barangay government structure and organization
2. Legal basis and the responsibilities of the barangay
tanods in the maintenance of peace and order
3. Benefits of the barangay tanods under Mun . Ordinance 08, s. 1999, or "An Ordinance Establishing the Subsidy Program for
Barangay Tanods."
4. Define the nature of arrest and the rights both of the arresting. officer and the accused.
5. Fire prevention and suppression techniques
6. Practice and demonstrate
a. Methods of restraint

c. Blotter entry
d. First aid
e. Suppression of fires and the operation of the fire nozzles.
f. Traffic signals and management
7. Spot and identify the hazard zones, escape routes and evacuation areas in the respective barangays.
The discussants were Juvy Pedrera and Ronald Acebedo of DILG Carigara, FOI Ambel G. Sison, and SF02 Felipe Molabola of the
Bureau of Fire and Protection, J03 Glenn L. Sabillo and J02 Pmdencio Digman of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology,
and SP02 Ernie B. Rocha and SPOI Rafael B. Bernal of the PNP Carigara. Of the 588 barangay tanods of

The date was July 24, 1967. On that day, I turned a new leaf in my life. Henceforth I would be a teacher. I was
to report to Uyawan for my first day of service. That morning, I got up early. I was rather excited. Soon I would meet my
pupils and I would be in my classroom. It was the day I had been waiting for.
A tricycle took me to that barrio which is two kilometers away from the town of Carigara. On the way I was unmindful of anything
that passed by me. I was deep in thought. The district supervisor's description of the school was still vivid in my memory.
"You will like the school. It's a very nice one. It has just recently won second place in the provincial beatification contest."
I was to handle a newly opened Grade V class. The school, I was told, already had thirty enrolees. Would they still be there?
What kind of classroom would I have?
"The tricycle driver dropped me off exactly at the gate. Before I could see the entire school, a teacher, Mrs. Julia LIoren,
took me right away to her house which was fifty meters away. To my surprise, I met my pupils there. A dozen of them shyly
greeted us. The others hadn't known yet that their new teacher had already reported. She showed me an annex room of their
house--one that had been built temporarily during the fiesta. That was to be my classroom, she told me. When she left, I was
somewhat confused. I could not understand what the whole thing was about In the afternoon, I joined the other teachers in
the school for some information about my classroom. There I was told that I hadn't any, and that I had still to put up one.
How shocked I was for I never thought it would be that way! My temperature rose. I felt feverish. I wanted to cry but it would
be childish. That afternoon, we went home on foot. It was my first walk homeward and the distance seemed great. When I lay
down on my bed that night, sleep was rather elusive. My schoolhouse greatly bothered me and I was deeply discouraged. That
was my first day in the teaching profession.
The following day, I met the head teacher, Mr. Domingo LJavore, who was in the district office on some important business
on the day of my arrival. He assured me that he would help me with my schoolhouse. He called a PTA meeting. The problem of
the schoolhouse was presented so tactfully to the barrio people that they unanimously volunteered to help. Mr. Llavore had
a great skill in conducting meetings. Being a good leader, too, he was the first to announce his contribution of three kilos
of nails. The others followed suit. Some would give posts. The others would give bamboos. Two would give rattan. Those who
knew carpentry volunteered to build the schoolhouse. Before the meeting was adjourned the barrio people and I had a good impression
of each other.
While my schoolhouse was still a-building, I held my classes in the temporary room. It had one long table in the middle and
two long benches at the sides. I structured it to make it look like a classroom. As I was to teach Home Economics, I displayed
my apron, pin cushion, emery bag and the other projects on the H.E unit board. The beautiful art objects of my pupils decorated
one corner. Some pictures were nicely arranged in the other corner. Gouramis occupied the aquarium. Some potted plants here
and there, some ivy hanging from a wall vase greatly helped in improving my improvised classroom. My pupils liked it.
PICTURE HERE
The following month, materials poured in. Some posts, rattan, nails, and bamboos arrived. I checked them against my list of
contributions. It was during this time that one barrio man touched me deeply. He was a thin man in his fifties, riding on
his slow moving Carabao wet to the skin and shivering for he had been caught in a heavy rain. He presented to me a big log
that he had cut from the mountains. What a pitiful sight he was!
As soon as the materials were almost complete, construction began. Five to seven carpenters would work at a time. Their work
was rather fast. For my part, I prepared lunch and snacks for them. Carabeef was the usual main dish. Two packs of cigarettes
and a gallon of tuba was sufficient reward for them for a day's work. Serving them lunch and snacks made me close to them.
After lunch, they would fascinate me with their humorous stories or they would tease me about a shy Romeo who couldn't say
anything but who sent me delicious fruits. I enjoyed their company immensely
When the framework was erected, I bought one thousand two hundred nipa thatches for roof and sidings. My schoolhouse was very
much bigger than the ordinary classroom because one-third of it had to serve as my H.E. room. Luckily, a supply of desks arrived
when we were about to transfer to our new schoolhouse. My pupils were excited with their new desks in their new classroom.
A district appraisal was fast approaching I had to work hard and fast. After structuring my classroom, I focused my attention
on my H.E. room. Two families helped me to the end. Mr. and Mrs. Arcadio Lloren helped me in many ways, while the Obejeras
of Brgy. Canal, Marga and his three sons, Pablo Pascual, and Juan, who were all carpenters, did not leave me until I was able
to structure my H.E. room with cabinets, tables, chairs, bed and other things that an H.E. room should have. There was a time
when darkness caught us still painting and putting some finishing touches. We used a "petromax" to the surprise of the passers-by.
Often it was past eight in the evening when I reached home dead tired and hungry.
My schoolhouse was completely furnished with all the necessary items when the appraisal came. It took nearly three months
to build and structure. It was realized at a cost of so much sacrifice from the barrio people and me. It also drained considerably
my father's dwindling treasury. But when I looked back and evaluated my accomplishments, I felt that I had tackled the hardest
work first and I knew then that things would be easy for me in the months and years ahead.

It’s the eleventh hour of our precious earth,
The prelude, not of glory that one expects,
But a tragedy beyond one's imagination.
Warned Al Gore of global warming and climate change
We have been slow to his frightful warning.
So preoccupied are we for greedy living,
While the impending tragedy is gaining momentum,
Enough later on to make our one earth inhabitable.
This grim picture of earth is beyond acceptance,
Large tsunamis may have toppled Lady Liberty,
Half-burying her on muddy earth, while the Great Walls
Become like snake chopped into hideous sections.
Oil tanks may have burst making the whole of Saudi Arabia
A conflagration, while in Russia citizens are frozen-stiff dead.
In Africa black rotting cadavers here and everywhere,
While in the Genghis blood-soaked worshippers float to the sea.
Around the world, those who have been spared,
From spectre of death welcome it as a comfort,
To join the caravan its sweet demise rather
Than exist in the world of nature now gone berserk.
The eleventh hour is now at hand world leaders
Have no more time to debate the Kyoto Protocol
Now is the hour to implement a deliberate action
To save the earth from a catastrophic doom.
Pat Q. Macabenta, Davao City

Na guin hihingyap han mga tawo
Para manrakya ug magrisyo.

Pagkatitirok, pagkirigta

Para mabag-o an sistema.
Sistema. . ...ano gud nga sistema

Nagpapadig-on daw, sangkay.

( A Tribute to the late Corazon Talua Baculanta)
Why did you leave and left us in query and misery?
The people who had loved you with all sincerity.
In spite we know, that tomorrow we will go.
But we were all caught unaware, when you bid us adieu.
In the cold damp ground where you now rest,
As you bid goodbye to earth's tiring quest.
May you find eternal peace and rest,
And hear our silent whispers, for your solace.
Wherever you are now, you're not alone.
Your earthly friends are with you in your angelic tour.
Your family is beside you, 'til you reach God's throne
You will be with us, and you'll never walk alone.
Feel our unspoken message that goes with the breeze of wind.
It reveals our sincere feelings, for a lost dear friend.
Although your parting will leave us void.
All we can do is fill it with remembered joy.
There may be things you've left undone,
That gives you a bit of headache at the setting of the sun.
But all things are passing and death tore them apart.
For parting is the sad tale of the human heart.

and do this today and in the days to comel
when there's nothing better to do
when there's something better to do
when you're saddled with work.
but, you'd rather do something else
or, when you just want to, for no reason at all
mend a quarrel
seek out a forgotten friend
write a love letter
share some treasure
encourage youth
keep a promise
find the time
forgive an enemy
listen
apologize when you were wrong
think first of someone else
be kind and gentle
laugh a little
laugh a little more
express your gratitude
gladden the heart of a child
take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth
speak your love
speak it again
speak it still once more
THEN MAYBE LIFE WOULD BE
A LOT EASIER TO LIVE
|
Life is never perfect but at least is livable
Some good, some bad and unlikable.
There are times when I recall,
I did things unforgivable
But the Great God's love was
Encompassing That he forgave them all.
The past is filled with memories, some good,
others hard to forget
I've got enough of some treachery
with a third degree misery.
But after thinking all this out,
I was able to forgive and pour it out.
There are times we couldn't understand
some people's ways,
That allow one's heart to torment and break.
Something must have pushed them
with only they could speak.
But thanks, I've got that unselfish heart
that I'm able to forgive and forget.
If we forgive people who have done us wrong,
It is because the weak can never forgive,
but only those who are strong.
The secret of success is to forgive and forget.
Bear in mind, it is nothing,
unless you continue to remember it.
Without forgiveness,
life could be an endless emptiness.
With all those gone and done,
there's no way to repeat the process.
Think about the good that will outweigh the bad.
Grant him your full forgiveness
and pardon him at last.

Year 2008 marks the 112th martyrdom of the greatest of Filipino heroes, Dr. Jose P. Rizal y Mercado. This was
celebrated, as usual on December 30, by the municipality of Carigara, headed by Mayor Anlie Go Apostol, with a commemorative
program held at the town plaza.
The program gave Carigaranos a chance to relate to and uphold the best of the hero, his passion, his dreams, his struggles,
and his successes, in short, his life and memoirs.
In his speech, Vice Mayor Ulpiano U. Arpon Jr. stressed one of Rizal's philosophies that "the pen is more powerful than the
sword," hence, violence is not a solution for reform. He also related that "Education is the solid foundation of freedom"
and he was touched by the teachers' presence in honoring Rizal.
Students of Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU), Carigara Campus, presented a folk dance followed by a musical number
from Carigara II District administrators. Carigara National High School (CNHS) students, on the other hand, gave a Verse Choir,
reciting Rizal's Mi Ultimo Adios. Martie Agatha Ariza, Grade lll pupil of Cassidy Elem. School, representing Carigara District
I, rendered a vocal solo, while Brando Movido of Carigara School of Fisheries recited a poem.
In an eloquent oration, Christian Tica, Holy Cross College of Carigara senior student, capsulized Rizal's heroism.
Introduced by Hon. Dennis Garay, the keynote speaker, Fiscal Cesar Merin, Provincial Prosecutor of Leyte, brought to the fore
the great ideals of the national hero.
Meanwhile, Vice-Mayor Arpon awarded the Certificates of Appreciation to all participants of the "Light a Tree Project 2008,"
a Christmas-related activity of the local government. Atty. Arpon was assisted by Mrs. Myla L. Aguilar, Municipal Administrator.
On behalf of the awardees, Dr. Ludina Oballo, Head of the Carigara School of Fisheries, gave a response.
The Floral Offering and Wreath Laying by government and non-government offices concluded the celebration of the 112th anniversary
of Rizal's martyrdom.
The celebration recognized, which Carigaranos learned to appreciate in time, that Rizal is remembered not because of anything
else but because of the legacy he left us, the legacy of FREEDOM.

Mamingaw na an mga ganghaan ban syudad
Putos na hin kasisidmanan an mabalod
Nga kalawdan, nga nakalukop han ngatan
Lunuha na an masirom nga kalangitan
Waray la hunong nga pag-inuran
Samtang naglalakaton o mahusay nga hangin
Sinmaping ha akon mapula-pula nga bayhon
Nagdurat bin kangutngot ngan pangapay dayon.
Makalilisang nga sighot ngan batang nagkakarata
Naglulutaw-lutaw o nagplaplano mangguba
Anuman an nahihiagian nira
Buhawi hin kakurian, kay ano nga umabot ka pa?
Ayaw ka hipausa, ayaw pagmagha, hiya naungara
Namamasko iton kan Isko ug kan Iska!
Ayaw pagriwa . . . ayaw pagbinuwa. . .
Ako, ikaw, kita: Hin-o an may sala?
Nagkatutumba na an higtaas nga kapostihan ha syudad
Madakmol nga kasisidman; kamakangingirhat
Magisog nga lilinti diri gud anay napabaribad
Tuhod ko nangungurog-kurog agi hin kahagkot
Gugliat han kinadenahan nga mga oripon
Oripon ban dako nga kamanumpan ug buwaya
Nakimalooy na ipakita an tuptop nga timbangan
Nadaligdig ha ira mga mata in mga luha.
Sumala han akon hinbati-an ngan nakit-an
Daganas han tubig. mahagkot nga harupay han hangin
An hinungdan ban ira maaga nga kamatayon
Diyos nga labi kamakagarahum. pasaylo-a kami ngatanan
Talwasa kami, itugot nga makit-an pa namon
An balangaw nga panalagsaon -
Dumalagan kaman hin waray hunong nga pagdinalagan
Waray pag-ultan ug waray katapusan.
Buhawi hin kakurian, diri mo gud malilikyan
Mahihipakdol ka la ngan mapapaum-um ha kabatoan
Dayuday. . .duduson ka ban imo konsinsya
Ayaw kahadlok! Kon may kasirom mayda manta kapawa.
Kita la mismo an nagdadara hin kakurian
Sundon naton an baraan nga kasuratan
Ayaw pagsimang han matadong nga dalan
Para tagsa naton makaagian, burabod hin kinaadman'
