With this issue, Budyong completes 17 years of "bringing news from home to Kalgaranons wherever they are." Here  in the Philippines and abroad USA, Canada, Spain, England, Italy, Guam,  Australia, etc.

Originally a quarterly, it evolved, in 1996, into a bimonthly publication published every other month. This issue was scheduled for 30 November; it is over a month late due to the Christmas activities and holidays. (On this page is a facsimile of the first page of the maiden issue of Budyong.)

After 17 years, and at age 86. your editor feels that someone younger with fresher ideas should take over the editing and publishing of Budyong. If someone is interested in taking over (unta) please contact Atty. Remigio Lauron in Carigara, or contact me directly. He or she can do whatever he/she wants to do with the publication. Change the name, change the publishing schedule, etc. basta sige gihapon an pagpadara han "news from home to Kalgaranons wherever they are..."

(This issue was scheduled to come out on Nov. 30, but our contributors went on Christmas vacation, so we are over a month  late. Still, as the saying goes, Better late  than never.)

Budyong would like to share with its readers the following prayer of St. Francis:

Lord make me an instrument of thy peace  
where there is hatred, let me sow love  
where there is injury, pardon
where there is doubt, faith 
where there is despair, hope
where there is darkness, light 
where there is sadness, joy.
 
Lord grant that I may not so much 
seek to be consoled as to console;  
to be understood as to understand,  
to be loved as to love,
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are 
born to eternal life.


Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain,
With grammar, and nonsense, and learning.
Good liquor, I stoutly maintain
Gives genius a better discerning. - Oliver Goldsmith

Devotion to the Santo Nino in the Philippines (the beginnings ......)

When Ferdinand Magellan gave that small  wooden carving to a Cebuana in 1521 as a  memento of her conversion to the Catholic  Faith, little did he realize what returns the gift  would bring.

If the mass in Limasawa was the spark that  lit the fires of Christianity in the Philippines, it  was the Santo Nino, represented by a small  image which Magellan gave to the queen of  Rajah Humabon, which may have nurtured and  kept the Faith alive, especially during the forty four long years between the hasty departure of  Magellan's men and the return of the Spanish  conquistadores in 1565 led by Miguel Lopez de  Legaspi. When Legaspi stormed and occupied  Cebu, his men found among the embers of a  house a miraculously unburned wooden image  of the Sto. Nino. Some believed that the image  was the same one given by Magellan to Rajah  Humabon's queen. True or not, Legaspi considered the find a good omen. The Cebuanos  have attached great significance to the event  and to this day celebrate the finding of the  image.

Why Magellan chose to give Rajah Humabon's queen an image of the Child Jesus and not that of an adult Jesus, we will never know, but the choice was propitious because it presented to the new converts the image of an all-powerful God who could also be a gentle, innocent child. And Filipinos adore and dote on their children. The Filipino's concept of family planning, before small families became the policy and the fashion, was to plan for a big family. The more children, the more blessed  the union. It is not uncommon to hear friends greeting newly-weds, a few months after the  honeymoon, "Waray pa?", meaning, "Not pregnant yet' And the couple themselves  begin to worry when after a year of marriage, no child has blessed the union.

For the Filipinos, fond of children as they are, devotion to the Child Jesus has become almost a national passion. The many miracles attributed to the Child have increased the number of devotees even more.

When and how was the devotion to the Sto. Nino introduced to Tacloban? There seems to be no record of this, but the poet Illuminado Lucente, in his writings, says that the Sto. Nino had been the patron saint of Tacloban as early as 1739.  Although the account of early Jesuit missionaries,  who had evangelized Samar and Leyte, do not mention Tacloban, it is conceivable that they introduced the devotion to the Child Jesus through Basey, Samar of which Tacloban was a barrio at that time. Tacloban then was known as Kankabatok.
There are features in the celebration of the Feast of the Sto. Nino in Tacloban which sets it apart from the celebration elsewhere in the country. The Balyuan (exchange), the fluvial parade which precedes the procession through the town, and the celebration in June (elsewhere the Feast is celebrated in January).

The Balyuan re-enacts the exchange of Sto. Nino images between Kankabatok and Buscada, another barrio of Basey, which had acquired, by  donation, a much bigger and more beautiful image than that of Kamkabatok. The parish priest  of Basey, who must have had great powers of persuasion, convinced the people of Buscada to give their newer and better-looking image to Kamkabatok. To this day, the image from Buscada occupies the main altar of the church in Tacloban.

The fluvial parade is a flashback to the year 1889. Very elaborate plans had been made for the  fiesta celebration that year and it was decided that the image be sent to Manila for retouching and  new vestments. The boat carrying the image back to Tacloban however caught fire at sea between Mindoro and Romblon on January 15, 1889. To save the ship, the crew threw the ship's  cargo overboard including the crate containing the image of the Sto. Nino. Providentially, the heavy crate did not sink. Four months later, in May, the crate was salvaged off the coast of Semirara in Mindoro. Informed of the "find" a group immediately went to Semirara on a chartered boat the "Consuelo" to fetch the image. The Consuelo docked at Panalaron, Tacloban on June 30, 1889.

At that time, Tacloban and other towns in Leyte, were in the  throes of a cholera epidemic that had already claimed many  lives. Such was the faith of the townspeople in the Sto. Nino  that when they heard that the lost image was due to arrive, they flocked to the waterfront, men and women, the young and the aged, the able and the sick; they "filled the road from Panalaron to the church Afterwards, shawls, handkerchiefs, blankets of the sick who had become well were found on the streets, and  that day the cholera epidemic seemed to have been checked by the power of the Sto. Nino."

To commemorate and re-enact the arrival of the recovered  image the fluvial parade is held every year, preceding the procession, and the date of the celebration was moved from the third Sunday of January to June 30. As the devotion to the  Sto. Nino became province-wide, Msgr. Teotimo Pacis, then  Bishop of Palo, signed a decree on June 1, 1967 making the Santo Nino the patron saint of Leyte, comprising the territory  of the Diocese of Palo.

In response to the call of DepEd Region 8 for assistance to the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, for used clothing, the  teachers and school heads of Carigara II District pitched in. They gave not only  their used clothing but new ones as  well, with some blankets. Mrs. Victoria Quidlat included her nice big bag with her  donation of clothes.

Mrs Berrnardita C. Nivera, District Supervisor of Carigara II, with Mrs.  Jovena Tadefa, President of Carigara II Teachers League, Mr. Randy Capalar, and  Mr. Alan Alob went to Tacloban on November 6, 2009 in the multicab of Mrs. Chanda E. Florendo which was fully loaded with 22 big sacks of used clothing,

After the Regional Office referred them to PAG-IBIG where they could give the items, PAG-IBIG again referred them to SAGIP KAPAMILYA ABS CBN since the former had already sent to Manila their last shipment, the group found themselves facing the camera of a TV station for an interview on their charity work. Then they  were asked to go up to the 4th floor of the building where they were introduced to the station manager who profusely thanked them for their donation.

The following day, friends started congratulating Carigara II for being featured in the local TV station. This was a surprise to us. The personnel of the district were happy to share their blessings with the typhoon victims of Luzon. They really commiserated with them with their suffering. What they didn't expect was that their kindness would be reciprocated by an acknowledgment no less by the ABS CBN on their big screens. 

A live-in Roll-Out Training on Accelerated Hunger Mitigation Program to Promote Good Nutrition was conducted on Nov. 23-27, 2009 at Hapuroy Beach Restaurant in Brgy. Nauguisan. The program was primarily sponsored by the National Nutrition Council which aims to improve the food and nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Filipino families. In "Promoting Good Nutrition," the component includes the following topics: Infant and Young Child Feeding; Pabasa sa Nutrisyon, and Orientation on the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos, and the promotion of eggs and vegetables in their diets.

Implementers of the training were headed by Maria Belinda P. Alberca, Mun. Population Officer/Mun. Nutrition  Action Officer; Dr. Ma. Bella Vega Profetana, Mun. Health  Officer; Ms. Erlinda P. Obaob, Public Health Nurse; and  Sarah Jane Ramos, a Midwife. Participants of the training  were Barangay Nutrition Scholars, Barangay Health Workers,  Mother-Leaders, and rural Health Midwives assigned in the  area. All were taken from the 3 pilot barangays, namely, East  Guindapunan, Upper Sogod, and West Visoria.

With the support of Mun. Mayor Apostol and the councils  from the 3 pilot barangay, the training ended successfully,

Days and years swiftly come and go
Life on earth you can never guess so.
Treat everyone with fairness and love  
For man's true wealth is the good he does.
 
Life so they say, is like a game
You may lose or sometimes win.
Some pleasant things are sure to bring
For what counts most is the use we make of them.
 
All things are passing, in this world of fame
Service is given, in return for nothing.
For when good men died, what is left behind
A memento of his goodness printed in the Sands of Time.
 
If you are at the top, never look down
At people who are less blessed, on this earthly crown.
Never turn your back, but do what you can
To ease them of the burden, and help them to mount.
 
Do everything to gladden everyone
Touch their hearts with words that will never harm.
Fill every minute worth a million run
For joy will never be sweet if you break one's heart'
 
Be fair to everyone, show them you care
Never be proud for an achievement obtained.
Just stay humble, don't forget that everything on earth
Are only passing and goods are the ones remembered.
 
 
If you are great and feeling you are on top of the world
Because of wealth, fame, glory, honor, and position.
Never let it rule your life, for it will put you in question
Here on earth and when you reach God's throne.
 
The greatest happiness and true sweetness
In our existence in this world, is...
If we live a life for others, for nothing really belongs to you
So reach out, share, smile and live without regrets.
It is then you can say, you have lived a Wonderful Life.

To support the National goal of attaining 100% Voluntary Blood Donation in the Philippines in 2010 under the National Voluntary Blood Service Program (NVBSP) of the government, LGU Carigara, headed by Mayor Anlie Go Apostol, in coordination with the Dept. of Health.  Region VIII, thru its representative Ms. Emma G. Lauron, SB Member Joenlee C. Larraga, Chairperson of the Committee on Health, and the RHU staff, conducted s a meeting on the Advocacy of HTV Prevention, Healthy Lifestyle, and Voluntary Blood Donations to all Brgy. Kagawads, Chairman, Committee on Health, Brgy.  Health Workers (BRWS) and RFW staff including volunteer nurses on November 6, 2009 at the Municipal Building.

Main objectives of the meeting were:

1) Create Barangay Voluntary Blood Donor Recruitment Officers;  

2) Assist in the attainment of the Millenium Development goal of lowering the maternal mortality ratio through the provision of safe and adequate blood supply;

3) Promote and encourage voluntary blood donations by the citizens and to instill public consciousness of the principle that blood donations are humanitarian acts, and

4) Provide adequate, safe, and affordable and equitable distribution of blood and blood products.

The discussant, MT. Roland Gorgonia, a Medical Technologist and Regional Voluntary Blood Donor Recruitment Officer, emphasized the importance of donating blood for it "Saves Life" and donors will be screened  for HIV/AIDS, BEPA B, and Diabetes for free.

Further, he stressed that this program will discourage commercial blood banks nationwide and donating blood  to inpatients will no longer be entertained in hospitals instead during Mass Blood Donation Services Programs  held in their respective municipality.

The blood donation will be deposited in the blood bank at Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC), Tacloban City to provide adequate blood supply to patients in an easier and more convenient way.

The activity ended up with the pronouncement of the participants as Brgy. Voluntary Blood Donor Recruitment Officers who are partners in mobilizing all the sectors of the community to participate in the mechanism for voluntary and nonprofit collection of blood.

The LGU-Carigara targets 1% of the municipality's total population to donate blood within this year.

They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,
How foolishly depraved can they be,

Beauty is a reason for itself

Whether or not it solicits appreciation

Or it is left to bloom for itself.

 
 
The human intervention of what naturally is beautiful.
Is the greatest of all human follies,

Why interfere with what is naturally an aesthetic thing

By artificial human appendixes

When what bad been placed in the work of God?
 


God is the ultimate beauty.

Therefore, what He created is also beautiful,

Native beauty can never be replaced by

Human trickery or artificial magic

For God's omnipotence is impossibly replaceable.
 


Leave beauty to itself and if by chance

You want to own it or be part of it,

Think God and that power divine

Is yours to enjoy no encumbrances demanded.
