Nakuhaan si Joavan og Delinger Black Widow revolver nga dunay upat ka mga bala nga 9mm ug usa ka balas a .45 kalibre nga pistola ingon man gubaon nga granada.

Unsay gamit ani? Panggulat?

Si SPO Mikie Espina niingon nga ilang gibutangan og pulis ang gate sa subdivision aron panid-an kon moanha ba si Joavan.

Dihang nakit-an si Joavan nga nagmotorsiklo, ila dayon kining gisundan.

Matod sa kapulisan sa Talisay nga sa ilang pag-abot sa balay sa mayor, ilang naabtan si Joavan nga nagbasa-basa.

Wa kini mosukol kanila dihang ilang gidakop ug gi­pusasan.

Si Mayor Fernandez gikatahong niduaw dayon sa iyang anak sa Talisay City Police Station.

Dali dayong gibalhog ang batan-ong Fernandez sa detention cell nga naa nahimutang sa City Hall ug gipaabot nga ipresentar sa korte.

NADAKPAN na gyud si Joavan Fernandez, ang gikaintapang anak ni Talisay City Mayor Socrates Fernandez.

Mga pasado alas 7 kagabii, nadakpan sa grupo nila ni Talisay City police chief Supt. Elmer Lim si Joavan sulod sa balay sa iyang amahan sa South Gate subdivision, Bulacao, Talisay.

Sila si Lim ug iyang mga sakop armado og bench warrant sa kasong slight physical injuries nga giluwatan ni Judge Mario Manayon sa Municipal Trial Court.

hahaha!  and this was more than half a century ago.

Camus' fascination with life's little ironies, his admiration for New York's "colors, foodstuffs, smells, taxis, tie shops, ice cream" set his humanly apart from the grandiose, cross-eyed academic who earlier surveyed the city with disdain.

“Gusto niyong mamatay [Do you want to die]?” Duterte asked the crowd.

And when the people answered “no”, Duterte said told them to vote for Bonguyan whose victory, he added would be a reason for Kris to return in June.

Duterte then turned serious when he talked about the President but repeated his “threat” before ending his speech.

Duterte used the same line when he asked the people to support the re-election bid of Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero, who was present on stage along with another senatorial bet, former MTRCB chairperson Grace Poe.

The mayoralty bet specifically asked the people to make Escudero the number 1 senator in the province, noting how he was only number 2 when he first ran for the Senate in 2007.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines â€" Vote for his candidates or “die”. It was a veiled threat but made in jest by mayoralty bet Rodrigo Duterte when he campaigned here Thursday night in the presence of President Benigno Aquino III’s youngest sister, Kris.

“Pag natalo ito si Louie Bonguyan dito, babalik ako, patayin ko kayong lahat (If Louie Bonguyan loses here, I will return and kill you all),” Duterte said, eliciting laughter from the crowd. He added in Visayan, “I will shoot you with an armalite”.

Bonguyan is running for congressman in the second district of Davao City.

A few missing? Add your own...

But Fr. Raul de los Santos said “many [priests] are quietly supporting Among Ed [Panlilio].” He did not cite figures, explaining that they preferred to remain anonymous as “many of us do not intend to divide our ranks.”

He said the support for Panlilio was fueled by his fight for freedom. “Freedom is God’s gift. There shall be no more freedom in our beloved province if we are going to be controlled by just one family,” De los Santos said before blessing some 1,000 civilians and candidates who joined the LP provincial motorcade on Saturday.

He admitted he had campaigned for Panlilio since 2007. “I think as priests we have to make a stand and teach people to make an intelligent stand, even if that stand divides,” he said.â€"Reports from Carmela Reyes-Estrope and Tonette Orejas, Inquirer Central Luzon

Priests for Panlilio

In the City of San Fernando, Catholic priests announced they were backing Ed Panlilio, who is running against reelectionist Pampanga Gov. Lilia Pineda.

There are 120 active priests in the Archdiocese of San Fernando.

Archbishop Paciano Aniceto and Bishop Pablo Virgilio David have not endorsed national or local candidates but asked the laity to select leaders according to the teaching of the Catholic faith.

“I still believe that Filipinos, particularly Bulacan residents, would not allow religious influences to obstruct the country’s progress because this is a manifestation of their love for their country,” said Villanueva, a preacher, who founded the Jesus is Lord Movement.

Villanueva said he respected the diocese’s decision.

Religious groups like the National Council of Churches of the Philippines have expressed support for Villanueva’s senatorial candidacy, according to Munsayac.

At a news conference on Friday, the diocese released the pastoral letter of Bishop Jose Oliveros who endorsed UNA candidates Binay, Zambales Rep. Milagros Magsaysay, Juan Miguel Zubiri, Margarita Cojuangco and Honasan.

Oliveros also endorsed Team PNoy candidates Villar and Trillanes, and Ang Kapatiran Party candidates Rizalino David, John Carlos and Marwil Llasos.

Malolos Diocese’s slate

The INC list came after the Malolos Diocese released its own roster of preferred candidates that did not include senatorial candidate Bro. Eddie Villanueva, an evangelist.

Villanueva said he was not offended by the apparent snub, although Bulacan is an important voting area. Bulacan has the third-largest voting population among provinces, with more than 1.5 million registered voters, according to his spokesman, Joey Munsayac.

Jun Magsaysay, Escudero

A leading House official said he was surprised by the noninclusion of former Sen. Ramon Magsaysay Jr. as he was advised last week that the Team Pnoy candidate was a shoo-in.

The biggest snub was that of reelectionist Sen. Francis Escudero whom the INC consistently supported in his political career.

The INC leaders were widely seen as having stood by Corona during the Senate trial as his lead counsel, former Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas, is a high-ranking member of the INC.

The INC chose Grace Poe and Nancy Binay although it picked former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo over the late Fernando Poe Jr. in the 2004 presidential election and Mar Roxas over Jejomar Binay in the 2010 vice presidential race.

Pulse Asia found in its nationwide survey from April 20 to 22 that 6 percent of voters were still undecided.

The senator said that contrary to pundits’ expectations, the senators’ vote on the impeachment trial of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona did not figure significantly in the INC’s selection process.

Vying for command votes

In the last week of the campaign, senatorial candidates are scrambling to get “command votes” from religious groups and influential local politicians to gain the support of a still significant number of voters who have yet to decide on whom to vote.

Those with a statistical chance of winning a seat are separated from their nearest rivals by less than a percentage point to up to three percentage pointsâ€"well within the margins of error of the surveys by Social Weather Station and Pulse Asia.

“The INC vote is crucial not only because it is a plus for those who were picked. It is also a big minus for those who were snubbed,” said the senator.

He said a candidate needed at least 16 million or roughly a third of all voters to win one of 12 Senate seats being contested in the elections.

The INC consulted its local leaders last week about the lineup and is expected to make a formal announcement of the senatorial candidates it is endorsing to members on Wednesday, according to the sources in Congress.

A senator, who requested anonymity, said the INC had historically delivered a minimum of 3 million votes for the candidates that it supported. (Census data show that INC has less than 2 million voting-age members.)

The five UNA candidates the sect is supporting are Nancy Binay, Joseph Victor Ejercito Estrada, Jack Enrile, Richard Gordon and Gregorio Honasan II.

As in past elections, the INC is endorsing senatorial candidates who have a statistical chance of making it to the Magic 12, or those within striking distance.

The same sources said the INC had made known its choices for the two major cities in the country. The INC picked former President Joseph Estrada over Mayor Alfredo Lim in the mayoralty race in Manila while it chose to support the six congressional candidates of the ruling Liberal Party in Quezon City.

The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) is leaning toward a 7-5 senatorial slate favoring the administration coalition’s Team PNoy over the “opposition” United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), as the block-voting religious sect tries to appease both President Aquino and Vice President Jejomar Binay.

Multiple sources from the Senate and the House of Representatives came up with a virtually common list of the INC’s favored candidates for the senatorial elections in May.
The seven Team PNoy candidates that the INC is endorsing are Juan Edgardo Angara, Paolo Benigno Aquino IV, Alan Peter Cayetano, Loren Legarda, Grace Poe, Antonio Trillanes IV and Cynthia Villar.

Even though it’s not a federal holiday in Mexico it is indeed a very important state holiday in Puebla and neighboring Veracruz.

Which is why Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's commemoration of the event is international news...

Paradoxically, it is clear that Sartre took his notion of collective action from what he witnessed in the United States rather than in the Soviet Union. It is typical that he should choose to frame his notion of freedom and the fate of individual identity in essentially literary (or textual) terms. Beware the editor! He didn’t like the way his articles were butchered when they appeared in American journals and admits to being apprehensive of something similar â€" “le rewriting” â€" happening to his plays, should they ever be put on in the United States. The F.B.I., while accusing Camus of writing “inaccurate reports,” also misidentified him as “Canus” and “Corus.”

Sartre and Camus’s love-hate relationship was played out and reflected in their on-off romance with America. As Camus put it, “It is necessary to fall in love … if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.” Above all the two thinkers emphasize that America is always balanced precariously, like a tight-rope walker, on the thread of a philosophical dialectic.

Camus, on the other hand, begins to sound more like Samuel Beckett. While Sartre after the war was more than ever a self-professed “writing machine,” Camus was increasingly graphophobic, haunted by a “disgust for all forms of public expression.” Sartre’s philosophy becomes sociological and structuralist in its binary emphasis. Camus, all alone, in the night, between continents, far away from everything, is already less the solemn “moralist” of legend (“the Saint,” Sartre called him), more a (pre-)post-structuralist in his greater concern and anxiety about language, his emphasis on difference and refusal to articulate a clear-cut theory: “I am too young to have a system,” he told one audience. And it is this anti-systematic aspect of America that he retains and refuses to clarify: “After so many months I know nothing about New York.”

Camus, the Resistance philosopher of solidarity, discovered (or perhaps re-discovered) the problem of other minds in New York. Unlike Sartre, he had no difficulty with things, trees, the Empire State Building, the impersonal ocean. It was only on looking into the face of another human being that he fully experienced a sense of the tragic. While hell-is-other-people Sartre came to invoke a notion of the “group-in-fusion,” Camus â€" who had to keep explaining to the students that he was not and never had been an “existentialist” â€" increasingly redefined the “absurd” in terms of an inevitable failure of language to bridge the gap between individuals. And it was not just the problem of inadequate English in speaking to Americans. He had the same feeling in Quebec.

The clash between Sartre and Camus would come to be defined by their political divergence in the ’50s, crystallized by the publication of “The Rebel” by Camus. But already, in their different reactions to the United States â€" and particularly New York â€" we have the ingredients of a philosophical schism. Sartre, on his return to Europe, recalls above all America’s racism and practice of segregation, the inevitable counterpart to its drive to conformity. He writes a play, “The Respectful Prostitute,” that dramatizes the episode of the Scottsboro Boys in the ’30s. The split between contending forces â€" East and West, black and white, bourgeoisie and proletariat, humans and things â€" becomes the defining concern of his philosophy, summarized in the (admittedly rebarbative) phrase he comes up with in his “Critique of Dialectical Reason” to define boxing, but which also applies to his relationship with Camus: “a binary praxis of antagonistic reciprocity.” Existentialism in this form, inflected with Marxism, infiltrates the American intelligentsia, is absorbed into black power philosophy (“black existentialism”) and finds an echo in writers as disparate as Richard Wright and Norman Mailer.

Camus had to keep explaining to American students that he never had been an ‘existentialist.’

At Vassar he gave a lecture on “The Crisis of Mankind” and was dazzled by the spectacle of “an army of long-legged young starlets, lazing on the lawn.” But he was preoccupied by what he thought of as the “American tragedy.” The tragedy of the students was that they lacked a sense of the tragic. For Sartre the tragic was the mechanization and objectification of the human. For Camus, the tragic was something more elusive: whatever it was, it was missing in America.

There was an obvious difference of context between Camus and the students he was addressing. He’d come from Europe, which had just spent several years tearing itself apart, whereas they remained more or less physically untouched by the war. Camus was welcomed both as literary luminary (the translation of “The Outsider” came out during his stay) and Resistance hero. But his tragic perception of life was not reducible to the question of the Second World War. Sailing back from New York to France, at night in the middle of the Atlantic, staring down from the deck into the ocean, mesmerized by the wake of the ship, Camus spoke of his love for “these seas of forgetfulness, these unlimited silences that are like the enchantment of death.”

Camus â€" officially a cultural emissary of the French government â€" followed in Sartre’s footsteps in 1946, providing an ironic commentary on his predecessor. Where Sartre was obsessed with architecture, Camus was indifferent, oblivious. “I notice that I have not noticed the skyscrapers, they seemed to me perfectly natural.” He had no issues with commodity capitalism. He admired colors, foodstuffs, smells, taxis, tie shops, ice cream, the “orgy of violent lights” that was Broadway, a jazz bar in Harlem and the giant Camel advertising icon of “an American soldier, his mouth open, puffing out clouds of real smoke.”

He fell in love several times over, notably with Patricia Blake, a 19-year-old student and Vogue apprentice. He read her pages from “The Plague” and she, in return, noting his fascination with the American way of death, found him issues of undertakers’ trade magazines â€" Sunnyside, Casket,and Embalmer’s Monthly. He particularly admired a funeral parlor ad: “You die. We do the rest.”
