CRIMINALITY-ON THE RISE?

People engage on criminal activities here due to reasons perceived by some are as follows: 1. Failure of the church; this is when pastors/priests or church leaders inaccurately pose themselves as true models of good when they live double lives. 2. Failure of the schools; this is when educators/teachers fail on corruption tests teaching corruption indirectly through fund mess/misdirections, making cheating a means of passing. GMRC is long gone. 3. failure of the community; this is when criminal activities have become accepted norm of existence that people no longer want/not interested to get involved on crime prevention. The foreknowledge of authorities cuddling criminals/protectors discourage cooperation. 4. Failure of the family; When parents fail to inculcate Godly righteousness as basis of good behavior.

THREE TURNS OF LIFE

Let's take a break and take a glimpse to what is more important: a catholic question comes this way. "What do mean by born of Adam, dead, and born of second Adam live? Here's one explanation: The FIRST TURN, to Eden the garden of God where Adam-Eve, then new creation that became old after they sinned. They generated the dead generation since then. The SECOND TURN, when the second Adam-Jesus was born outside the garden of God. He generated the living generation. He says, "You must be born again". For us and all humans, we have the earthly genes-death genes of the first Adam. We must have the heavenly genes of the second Adam. In Adam, all die and in Jesus, all may live. We all have the old nature of Adam, we must have the new nature of Jesus. The THIRD TURN therefor, is YOUR TURN to decide which to choose; to remain old or to become new. The Apostle Paul says, "...if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation, the old is gone the new has come."

IOs-PREPARE

This early, even this time of the year when elections to replace or retain national and local officials are getting through, Initao Observers who have the guts to become broadcasters/announcers are encouraged to make preparations to try to become trainees. They are therefore also encouraged to hone this skill if they have this to see George Quitoriano for further information. A radio station (FM) is negotiated to be set up here after May 9. GQ may be the manager then.

REMINDERS FOR INITAO OBSERVERS

This election time we need to be more alert of ourselves not being critical to candidates whether these people are corrupt or what else people may be saying against them. It is not our business to judge them in public or where else. If we do, let us exercise caution and be more gracious and hopeful that somehow sometime, perceived corrupt officials, change for good not only for themselves and their families but the constituents that they serve. We are not against the person but corruption. Let us separate corruption from the person. Let us vote people who deserve our votes not for the money they give.

DRY SPELL CONTINUES

If one looks Initao's hinterland's landscapes, the greenery is somewhat overwhelmed by the brownish dried grounds due to lack of rainfall the locality is going through for now almost five months. There is already a problem on animal feeding grounds to go grassless, and artificial feeds are the alternatives farmers buy to remedy the situation. It's hot day and even in the night people go to sleep shirtless or choose loose wears on the problem of sleeping late. Those who have aircon and electric fans are somewhat alright but their electric bills certainly are on the rise. MORESCO'S collection bills would rise also.
