Feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross


In 1595 Father Antonio Sedeno, first Vice-Provincial of the Jesuits in the Philippines, ordered Fathers Chirino, Juan Campo, and Cosme de Flores, and a lay brother, Gaspar Garay, to open a mission in Leyte.

The group arrived on the shores of Carigara on a Sunday, July 16, IS9S, On the beach amass was offered in great solemnity for the day was the feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross, a significant date and feast in Spain for it commemorates the victory of Spanish forces against the Mohammedans in the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212. The battle was won, it was reported, because the Holy Cross appeared in the sky lifting the morale of the Spanish soldiers.

After the mass, Chirino and his companions erected a cross to mark the date and place of their historic landing. They then walked to the town proper where they were welcomed by the encomendero, Cristobal
de Trujillo. The mass was die first celebration of the Feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross in Carigara
and in Leyte, possibly in the whole Philippines. The Feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross, from that day on, has been the feast day of Carigara.
From Carigara, Six Hundred Years of History in a Town in Leyte.

The orientation on Occupational Safety and Health for Carigara municipal employees was conducted for two reasons: to raise awareness of the said topics among members of Carigara Municipal Employees Association (CARIMEA) and other lay employees, and as part of the plan to re-echo the 3-day training on occupational safety and health attended by a CARIMEA representative, which was held on July 7-9, 2008, sponsored by Public Service International, in Tacloban City.

To successfully orient participants in the above- mentioned issues, Mrs. Melina G. Ador, National Auditor and representative for health in Visayas for the CIU, was invited to discuss topics on OSH. Her discussions centered on the following issues:
- Physical health hazards
- Ergonomics
- Biological and chemical hazards
- Food-borne and water-borne diseases
- Waste management.
- Occupational safety practices
- Trade union role in occupational safety & health

The half-day orientation was conducted at the Carigara Municipa1 Library and Museum last July 2, 2008, with 52 participants composed of CARIMEA members and employees from different LOU departments.

The Apostolate of Smiling


Just a little smile on your lips
Cheers you in good humor
Preserves peace in your soul
Promotes your health
Beautifies your face
Induces kindly thoughts
Inspires kindly deeds

SMILE TO YOURSELF
Until you notice that your constant
Seriousness, or even severity, has vanished.

SMILE TO YOURSELF
Until you have warmed your own heart
With the sunshine of your cheery countenance,
then... go out and radiate your smile.

THAT SMILE
Has work to do work to do for God
You are an apostle now, and your smile
is your instrument for winning souls.
Sanctifying Grace dwelling in your soul
will give the special charm to your smile
which will render it productive of much good.

SMILE - on the lonely faces
SMILE - on the timid faces
SMILE - on the sorrowful faces
SMILE - on the sickly faces
SMILE - on the fresh young faces
SMILE - on the wrinkled old faces
SMILE - on the familiar faces of your family and friends - let all enjoy the beauty and inspiring cheer of your smiling face.


COUNT If you will, the number of smiles your smile has drawn from others in one day. The number will represent how many times you have promoted contentment, joy, satisfaction, encouragement, or confidence in the heart of others. These good dispositions always give birth to unselfish acts and noble deeds. The influence of your smile is spreading Though you do not always see the wonders it is working.

YOUR SMILE Can bring new life and hope and courage into the hearts of the weary, the overburdened, the discouraged, the tempted, the despairing.

YOUR SMILE can help to develop vocations, if you are a priest, a Brother, or a Sister.

YOUR SMILE can be the beginning of the conversions to the Faith.

YOUR SMILE can prepare the way for a sinner's return to God.

YOUR SMILE can win for you a host of devoted friends.

SMlLE TOO, AT GOD
Smile at God is loving acceptance of whatever He sends into your life, and you will merit to have the radiantly Smiling Face of Christ gaze on you with special love throughout eternity.

Rev. Brono Hagspiel S.V.D.

Carigara Physique Club Real St., Ponong, Carigara Tel. 331-4480

The quest to improve one's physical attributes was inherent even during the earlier years when the current hi-tech exercise machines were beyond one's imagination. The greatest Philippine National hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, was himself a body builder who trained with home-made cement barbells. The late President Ferdinand E. Marcos was a noted physical fitness buff and sports enthusiast. When he graced the first and only Mr. Universe contest hosted by RP at the PICC, he honored the sports by staying throughout the more than four hours competition and was visibly seen enjoying the entire proceedings.

Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, one of the Philippines best known statesmen, former Secretary General of the United Nations and the Foreign Affairs Secretary tit the time of his death was a noted martial arts exponent and physical culture enthusiast. Making reference to bodybuilding Gen. Romulo once said, "Bodybuilding is important for Nation Building." This today is the slogan of the International Federation of Bodybuilders.

The Carigara Physique Club was organized by Mr. Florentino Mercolita, Mr. Marvin Claros, Mr. Segundino Grisola Jr., and Mr. Doring Madehas, encouraging the youth and the people in general to be active in sports, directing the attention of the youth for "No to Drugs", and to everyone regardless of gender to stay fit and healthy.

A body building competition was held last July 8, 2008 at Carigara Municipal Building with two non-title category events a novice and a body building open.

The winners of the novice were:
1st runner-up, Eduard Ramirez,
2nd runner-up, Rey Arintok,
3rd runner up, Michael Arpon.

For the open category:
1st runner-up Geremy Macalinao,
2nd runner-up, Billy Eloberio,
3rd runner-up, Edgardo Arbis.

Judges were Mr. Lino Espinosa Jr., (Nurse), SPO3 Rito Pallomira (PNP, Carigara), PO3 Pascual Talua (PNP, Carigara), Ms. Sharon Hilario (Nurse). P/lns. George Agero, and SP04 Juan Talua (PNP)

The contest was sponsored by Mr. And Mrs. Nita George and the LGU thru Mayor Anlie Apostol.

 

A MOTHER'S HEART

 
 

The world could not have been a fairer paradise,
If nobody had ever spent her life,
It is our mother dear, who gave us the light,
To meet the world with a smile.

She offered her life for you,
And taught you how to live,
For God created her,
To take instead of his place.

When you are in trouble,
She's always at your side.
Comforting words are always said,
To ease your troubled mind.

In every mother's heart,
There's always that secret place,
Where unending love lies,
To protect you from miseries.

The hands that rocked the cradle before,
Is now aged, old, and slow,
The wrinkled lines in her hand show,
Her undying love, so pure and true.

Through hardships and trials,
She held on to the rail,
No money or treasures,
Could ever make her thrill.

But as time passes by
When riches, honor, power, pleasure strike.
Mothers are forgotten,
Leaving them behind.

Not all have the chance to speak,
To a person who made their life complete.
To all to each, we find it hard to say,
I LOVE YOU MOTHER, to put her at ease.

Now is the time,
To tell her you care,
For beyond the dawn tomorrow,
You may not find her there.
