The intervention has also created new problems. By wading in so heavily, the fate of stocks now sits in the hands of officials. Rumours earlier this week that the China Securities Finance Corporation, a public institution responsible for buying shares, had started selling its holdings was enough to trigger a stampede to the exits. Chinese stocks fell 8.5% on Monday, their worst day since 2007. Authorities had to move quickly to calm nerves. The securities regulator denied that the “national team” had retreated from its market-rescue operation and said it would investigate investors with the gumption to sell stocks en masse. The central bank pumped yet more cash into the money market and indicated that monetary policy would remain loose.

Even if the government does manage to withdraw its support without causing share prices to crash, the long-term damage to China's stockmarket will be severe. At the height of the sell-off, just over half of companies suspended their shares from trading, hoping to avoid the rout (see second chart). Although most have now returned to the market, the message to investors is clear: if you put your money into risky stocks, you might find them frozen at a time of crisis, just when you need to cash out. What's more, regulators have halted initial public offerings, trying to limit the supply of shares and push up the prices of those already listed on the market. Past experience suggests it could be months before they lift the ban and let companies issue new shares. Add it all up, and China is left with a stockmarket in which investors take their cues from the government. Rather than bothering to assess the value of companies, they are betting on what regulators will do next. -- http://www.economist.com/

JUST when it looked like calm had been restored to China’s stockmarket, share prices nosedived in the last hour of trading on July 30th. Stocks listed on the ChiNext, an exchange for start-ups, fell 4.9%, while the CSI300, an index of bigger companies, slid 2.9%. It was the latest stomach-churning session in a wild few months. Since soaring to their peak in early June, Chinese stocks have dropped by nearly a third (see first chart). Authorities have resorted to heavy-handed measures to prop up swooning share prices, from pressuring banks to buy stocks to blocking big investors from selling theirs. The wisdom of such intervention is highly dubious, but many analysts and investors had at least expected it would be effective. Why is China finding it so hard to save its stockmarket?

The short answer is that, for all the government's involvement, China's stockmarket is still a market, and there are now more sellers than buyers. Even with the steep fall since early June, Chinese shares are up some 70% in the past year. Small-cap stocks, the focus of so much of the trading, remain too expensive. The price-to-earnings ratio of stocks listed on the ChiNext is 95, about twice the typical value for high-growth companies in more mature markets. Had China's stockmarket been allowed to crash, shares would have eventually found a floor. Instead, regulators have tried to erect a floor, and investors are not sure whether it really is the low point or just another artificial bottom susceptible to collapse.

Of the 575 cases, 420 were those of idiocy from birth, and 155 of idiocy afterwards. Of the born idiots, 187 were under 25 years of age, and all but 13 seemed capable of improvement. Of those above 25 years of age, 73 appeared incapable of improvement in their mental condition, being helpless as children at 7 years of age. Forty-three out of the 420 seemed helpless as children at two years of age, and 33 were in the condition of mere infants. Two hundred and twenty were supported at the public charge in alms-houses. A large proportion of them were found to be given over to filthy and loathsome habits, gluttony and lust, and constantly sinking lower towards the condition of absolute brutishness.

Some five years ago the Legislature of Massachusetts, at the suggestion of several benevolent gentlemen, whose attention had been turned to the subject, appointed a Commission to inquire into the condition of the idiots of the Commonwealth -- to ascertain their numbers, and whether anything could be done in their behalf.

2     
The commissioners were Dr. Samuel G. Howe, so well and honourably known for his long and arduous labors in behalf of the blind, Judge Byington, and Gilman Kemball.

3     
The burden of the labour fell upon the chairman, who entered upon it with the enthusiasm, perseverance and practical adaptation of means to ends, which have made him so efficient in his varied schemes of benevolence. On the 26th of the 2d month, 1848, a full report of the results of this labour was made to the Governor, accompanied by statistical tables and minute details. One hundred towns had been visited by the chairman or his reliable agent, in which five hundred and seventy five persons in a state of idiocy were discovered. There were examined carefully, in respect to their physical as well as mental condition; no inquiry being omitted which was calculated to throw light upon the remote or immediate causes of this mournful imperfection in the creation of God. The proximate causes Dr. Howe mentions are to be found in the state of the bodily organization -- deranged and disproportioned by some violation of natural law on the part of the parents or remoter ancestors of the sufferers. Out of 420 cases of idiocy, he had obtained information respecting the condition of the progenitors of 359; and in all but four of these cases he found that one or the other, or both of their immediate progenitors had in some way departed widely from the condition of health; they were scrofulous, or predisposed to affections of the brain, and insanity, or had intermarried with blood relations, or had been intemperate, or guilty of sensual excesses.

Introduction

This article appeared in a Philadelphia Quaker periodical as efforts to educate children with cognitive disabilities first started in the United States. Samuel Gridley Howe, then principal of the Perkins Asylum for the Blind and famous as Laura Bridgman’s teacher, was beginning a new endeavor, the establishment of a school for idiots. His research mirrored that of Dorothea Dix, who had done numerous state surveys of indigent individuals with mental disabilities. Her efforts led to the construction of insane asylums. Howe’s work promoted new idiocy asylums. Like Dix, Howe succeeded in obtaining financial support for the Massachusetts state government. Howe used the money to open in 1848 an experimental school of ten students with cognitive disabilities at Perkins in South Boston. (A permanent school, the Massachusetts School for Idiotic and Feeble-minded Youth, later the Walter E. Fernald State School, opened in 1851.) The author concluded by stressing the religious roots of humanitarian reform.

WALAY identipikasyon sa lalaki nga gitabangan og kaon sa duha ka iho niadtong Martes sa udto sa kadagatan nga bahin sa dakbayan sa El Salvador, Misamis Oriental.

Gisaysay sa bantay dagat sa siyudad nga si Joel Caballa nga unang mitaho kanila ang duha ka mga mananagat nga nakamatikod sa naglutaw nga patayng lawas sa kadagatan apan daw dili madoulan tungod kay adunay presensya sa duha ka iho.

Tungod niini sakay sa pumpboat ilang gisusi ni Caballa uban sa mga kauban ang nahimutangan sa patay nga lawas nga naglutaw apan ilang namatikdan ang gamay nga iho nga naglibot sa patayng lawas.

Tungod niini ilang gisuwayan og abog ang gamayng iho apan nakurat sila dihang gikaon niini ang kamot ug duha ka mga tiil sa patay nga tao.

Taliwala niini gisuwayan pa nila og abog pag-usab apan nakurat na sila pag-ayo dihang mitunga ang laing usa ka iho nga gihulagway niining dako pa sa usa ka barel ug unang gikunis-kunis human niini deretsong gitukob ang nahibiling lawas sa patay hinungdan mibulag pa ang ulo.

Matud ni Caballa nga buot pa nila untang kuhaon ang nahibilin nga ulo nga naglutaw apan naglisod gyod sila sa pag-atraka tungod kay nabalaka nga basin iyabo ang ilang pumpboat ug mabiktima sa duha ka iho. Kalit usab mibalod og kusog ug mibalik og tunga ang iho ug gilamoy ang nahibilin nga ulo.

Gikasubo pag-ayo niini nga wala gyod nila masalbar ug makuha ang patay nga naglutaw nga imbes unta kuhaon aron maila, giunhan man sila sa duha ka iho. Dugang niini nga labihan gyod ilang kaluoy nga gibati sa ilang nasaksihan nga hitabo human sa paglamoy.

Sa pagsulat ning balita, wala pay identipikasyon ang biktima kinsa gitouhang gianod paingon sa kadagatan nga bahin.

Reportedly, the lady who sold the attire did not know what it meant either, as she also couldn’t read English.

And it appears to be a contravention of human rights, under China’s consumer protection law, which specifies that shoppers must be treated with dignity.

It is thought that they may legally return any offensive items emblazoned with vulgarity.

Asian consumers are purchasing clothing for their kids, branded with phrases such as “f*** you, pay me”, “I am a whore” and “too drunk to f***”.

Yet because of the language barrier, unassuming parents don’t seem to have any idea how inappropriate it is.

The Chinese stock implosion is starting to get serious. It's costing U.S. investors real money.

The 144 China-based stocks with primary listings on major U.S. exchanges have erased nearly $40 billion in paper wealth since the Shanghai Composite index peaked on June 12. It's an enormous destruction of wealth that in effects wipes out the market value of a company the size of cruise ship operator Carnival.

The Shanghai composite index' losses are only getting worse. The much-watched measure of Chinese stocks fell 8.5% in overnight trading Monday. The index has dropped more than 27% since hitting its peak this year back on June 12.

A brain-eating amoeba that killed two people in two weeks ago has turned up in the water supply of a Louisiana county near New Orleans for the second time in two years.

The water supply of St. Bernard Parish (Louisiana counties are called parishes), which is located five miles outside of downtown New Orleans, is undergoing a 60-day chlorine “burn” to eradicate Naegleria fowleri, the Louisiana Department of Heath and Hospitals announced.

Officials say the burn is being conducted “out of caution,” adding that the tap water is safe to drink because you cannot become ill by drinking infected water. However, they warn that residents should avoid getting water in their noses because it can infect people via that route. It travels up the nose and into the brain, where it typically causes an infection of the lining around the brain (meningitis) and inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). Symptoms often include severe headaches, fever, and a stiff neck.

Infection with the amoeba is often deadly. A teenage boy died this month after developing an infection believed to have been caused by Naegleria fowleri that he came into contact with while swimming in a lake. Hunter A. Boutain, 14, died from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare infection of the brain caused by the amoeba, just 48 hours after he went swimming in Minnesota’s Lake Minnewaska. He was hospitalized after his swim and was unresponsive hours later, The Associated Press reports. -- https://www.yahoo.com/

Shortages of gravesites in Beijing have gotten so bad that the city government this year doubled subsidies for sea burials. Families who opt to send their dearly departed into the depths of the ocean and save space on land can receive about $640.

Hmm, mao diay tingali nga gusto sa mga singkit nga sakopon ang West Philippine Sea ug ang tibuok nga South China Sea kay ilang himoong mmenteryo.

Operators reportedly believed that showing strong demand for the burial plots could only help. The graveyard advertised as a picturesque location with good feng shui and noted that even one brother of a Qing dynasty emperor was buried nearby.

Authorities said about half of the 600 tombs at the Chinese Dragon Court were fakes. Among people in the countryside, inscribing the name of a living person on a gravestone is considered “very bad luck, and we would take great pains to avoid” such a thing, Wang told the newspaper. “They said I was dead so they could earn money; I think this is a violation of my rights.”

Qi said while Chinese civil law has provisions regarding damage to one’s reputation and image, it does not offer specific guidelines on compensation. How much Wang might receive for falsely being called dead would be up to the judge’s discretion if the court rules in her favor, he said.

In the event she doesn’t win the case, at least Wang can take some comfort in knowing that the fake graves might not last an eternity. Private developers who get land from the government for graveyards only have, at most, a 100-year lease on the property.

“Here the land is state-owned, so I can guarantee the cemetery will be here for some time,” said Guo, of Wanfo Huaqiao cemetery. “But in other cemeteries owned by district governments, who knows.”

During this week’s court hearing, judges heard testimony that the operators of the cemetery were eager to attract customers and began marketing the graveyard even before they had all the proper government approvals in order.

Such a move is common among Chinese businesses, said Qi Lianfeng, a Beijing attorney who is not involved in the China Dragon Court case.

“Government regulations aren’t strictly enforced and many profit-hungry businesses will start operating without the proper licenses,” he said. “We’ve seen many cases of property developers, for example, starting construction even before they get approvals.”

Qi said he had never heard of such a fake-grave case before. “It just goes to show, the grave business is doing well,” he said.

Representatives of the cemetery could not be reached for comment. But the Jinghua Times report said the operators also were eager to receive government certification for the facility because approval would qualify the graveyard for certain subsidies.

Shortages of gravesites in Beijing have gotten so bad that the city government this year doubled subsidies for sea burials. Families who opt to send their dearly departed into the depths of the ocean and save space on land can receive about $640.

“The demand [for cemetery space] is relatively stable, but prices keep on going up,” said Guo Yu, a 25-year-old sales representative at Wanfo Huaqiao cemetery in suburban Beijing, one of the city’s most prestigious. Guo said while the government restricts grave plots to 32 square feet, the cemetery has boosted its revenue by building graves with thicker, higher-quality stones. “They look grander that way,” she said.

Local governments, which control most graveyards in China, earn significant sums from selling plots or allocating land to cemetery developers, making the business ripe for corruption. According to the respected publication Southern Weekend, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Guangdong province earned 90% of its income from funerary-related income last year.

But China is quickly running out of space for graves. In 2013, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said the country would be out of burial spaces by 2019.

The Changping District Civil Affairs Bureau has been investigating the Chinese Dragon Court case and has put up a sign in front of the facility, deeming it an “illegal cemetery,” according to local media reports. The graveyard’s listed phone number appears to be out of service.

When the woman, identified only by the surname Wang, complained to the cemetery staff, all she got was a runaround, according to a report in Beijing’s Jinghua Times this week. With developers selling gravesites at $5,000 to $8,500 apiece, the proprietors are accused of erecting hundreds of graves to apparently give prospective customers the illusion that the facility was popular, boosting shoppers’ confidence to buy a plot.

Wang went to court this week, complaining that developers had maligned her name and her family’s reputation -- three other of her relatives also had fake graves at the site, she said. She is seeking an apology and $16,000 in compensation for emotional distress.

Burials are a contentious and lucrative business in China these days. The country of more than 1.3 billion sees about 10 million deaths a year. Rising land prices and an aging population have crimped space for graves and driven up the cost of plots to the point that many Chinese complain, only half-jokingly, that it’s too expensive to die.

For the 59-year-old Beijing suburbanite, it was a shocker: Visiting her new local graveyard, China Dragon Garden, she said she discovered her own name written in gold letters on a black granite tombstone.

If there was any bright side, at least she wasn’t “dead” alone -â€" hundreds of other people, who are very much alive, allegedly were memorialized at the newly opened cemetery. Among them was even one Yao Ming â€"- the name of China’s most famous basketball player and former NBA star.

Obviously, the people of the tiny Spanish hamlet of Trigueros del Valle have not read George Orwell's seminal novella "Animal Farm" or they probably would have mulled this over more.

The town, whose population is only about 330, unanimously voted in favor of one very unusual act â€" to guarantee the town's dogs and cats the same rights as its two-legged citizens.

"Dogs and cats have been living among us for over a thousand years," Pedro J Pérez Espinosa, the town's mayor said, according to the Independent. "And the mayor must represent not just the human residents but must also be here for the others."

The so-called Renedo Declaration was approved unanimously by the town's council during a plenary session on Monday and is comprised of 13 articles, which  including statements such as "all residents are born equal and have the same right to existence" and "a resident, whether human or non-human, is entitled to respect."

The animal bill of rights also outlines basic tents against animal cruelty such as article 9a, which states: "No non-human resident should be exploited for the pleasure or recreation of man."

Article 6b of the law also states: "The abandonment of a non-human resident is a cruel and degrading act."

In a country famed for its bullfights, the move to grant pets the same rights as humans seems radical, but it was widely praised across the country by animal charities.

"This is a great day for humans and non-human citizens alike," the Spanish animal rights group, Rescate 1, said in a statement, according to the Local. "Today, we are closer as species and we are now more human thanks to the sensitivity and intelligence shown by the people of Trigueros del Valle."

The new law in Spain comes as U.S. animal rights activists are fighting to get greater recognition for chimpanzees. In a landmark ruling this May, a court ruled that four chimps who live in a laboratory cannot be treated as property, but instead must be regarded as legal persons.

“Siya ay gagawa po ng hindi po anti-SONA ang tawag namin kundi ‘True State of the Nation (Address).’ Dangan nga lamang hindi pa niya ma-determine kung kailan niya gagawin ang True State of the Nation,” Ilagan said in a radio interview with DZMM.

According to Ilagan, Binay's ‘True SONA’ will focus on the real situation of the Filipino masses including poverty, hunger and other issues such as MRT woes, fund anomalies, among others.

“Kung ano ang nararamdaman ng maraming naghihirap, nagugutom na Pilipino, yun ang kanyang ire-report, yun ang kanyang babanggitin. But not necessarily para kontrahin kaya gusto n’ya munang mapakinggan muna kung anong sasabihin ng Pangulong Aquino sa kanyang SONA sa darating na Lunes,” Ilagan said.

Ilagan added that Binay will reveal and convey the issues he encountered during his visits to various provinces within the country.

“Iba yung mga nangyayaring ipini-present na figures ng pamahalaan kumpara doon sa feedback na nakukuha niya at ipinaparating sa kanya lalong-lalo na ng sektor ng mga mahihirap sa usapin ng tinatawag po nating poverty o kahirapan,” Ilagan said.

Ilagan furthered that Binay will attend President Benigno Aquino III’s final SONA on Monday. However, he said Binay will merely listen to Aquino's speech so he can determine which isues he will address in his "True SONA."

During the UNA launch last July 1, Binay delivered speech that countered the current administration and discussed promises their camp is willing to do to once seated in the position.

Binay resigned from the Aquino administration cabinet late June and has been the official chairman of the opposition party since then.

21-Year-Old Mom Told She Was "Too Young" For A Pap Smear Is Diagnosed With Terminal Cervical Cancer
By Kayla Keegan


In 2013, Jade Pateman gave birth to her son, Oscar, when she was 19 years old. But because she was considered "too young" by the UK's National Health Service (NHS) regulations to receive a cervical screening test, Jade didn't have a pap smear, that is, until it was too late.

In February, she started to develop an inflamed cervix and took antibiotics to try to make the swelling go away. Doctors began running tests and scans on Jade to figure out what was causing the inflammation. It was then that they discovered a 2-inch tumor on Jade's cervix, which doctors believed had been forming since the end of 2014 before Jade had any symptoms.

Even though doctors wanted to treat the cancer with radiotherapy, it had already spread into her lymph nodes in her chest, stomach, and neck. In June, she was then told she only has about 18 months to 2 years to live.

GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- Patay na nga narespondihan sa mga kabanay ang usa ka ginang sulod mismo sa iyang balay human gigulgol sa bana ang liog didto sa Purok Kulasi, Barangay Labangal kagahapon sa buntag, Hulyo 22.

Giila ang biktima nga si Jovelyn Roquelio o alyas Fatima Ola (sa Muslim nga pangalan), samtang ang bana nga suspek mao si Abdul Jobfer Ola.

Nasayran nga nakahiagum ang biktima og duha ka lawom nga samad ginulgolan sa liog gamit ang sundang.

Sa imbestigasyon sa Makar Police Station sa pagpanguna ni Senior Police Officer 1 (SPO1) Rex Diongon, nasayran nga alas 2 sa sayong kaadlawon niadtong Martes nag-away ang magtiayon atubangan sa ilang duha ka mga anak tungod nagselos ang bana.

Tungod sa grabeng kasuko ug nagkalalis, gikuha matud pa sa suspek ang sundang sa gawas sa ilang balay ug gisulod ang asawa nga naghigda sa ilang kuwarto ug dayong gigulgulan sa liog, hinungdan sa iyang kamatayon.

"Grabe ka lalom ang samad, Mir, sa liog sa asawa kaduha gyud gigulgol ba, wala sa tarong nga panghunahuna ang mihimo aning krimen," saysay ni Diongon.

Human sa panghitabo, misibat gilayon ang bana ngadto sa wala matinong direksiyon.

3. Not resisting rapacious relatives

Oftentimes, friends and relatives come out of the woodwork looking for handouts. Just say "no."

"Every relative or high school friend who is on hard times will come to ask you for money," Rampell says. "If your impulse is to be generous, rein it in. Most people won't repay you loans."

He witnessed the problem firsthand with one of his former clients, star actor Burt Reynolds, who went bankrupt in 1996 and is reportedly still suffering financial woes. "Movie stars have these entourages," Rampell notes. "He was supporting a lot of other people who provided no service of any value to him."

4. Making bad investments

If people find out you've come into big bucks, some will likely approach you with dubious investment ideas. "Someone will come to you and say, 'I have a beer distributor or a product to compete with the Apple Watch,'" Rampell says. "Stick to plain vanilla. It may not be glamorous, but it's safe."

Maybe the most obvious advice is to be discreet about your sudden bounty. "A lot of people want to brag, but it has a negative side," says Rampell.

4 dumb mistakes people make when they hit the jackpot

Say you just received a huge inheritance, or a financial windfall from stock options your employer gave you, or a pot of cash when the company you work for went public. Now you're on easy street for the rest of your life, right?

Not so fast. Many who are thrust into that enviable position run through the newfound wealth in a heartbeat, throwing their financial security right out the window.

"I'll never forget the first thing a banker said to a client of mine after he sold his cement company several years ago for $400 million-$500 million: 'Don't blow it,'" says Richard Rampell, CEO of Palm Beach, Florida, accounting firm Rampell and Rampell.

Just how do so many people find a way to separate themselves from the load of cash that just dropped into their lap? It's really not that hard. Here are four ways.

1. Not hiring a financial adviser bound to a fiduciary standard

Among those who aren't sophisticated about personal finances, failing to hire an honest, competent, conflict-free financial adviser may be the biggest mistake. "Find someone whose interests will be aligned with yours, preferably a fee-only adviser, not someone who wants to sell you life insurance, mutual funds, etc., for a commission," Rampell says.

Thoroughly research several candidates before choosing an adviser. "Find bankers, lawyers and accountants to ask for referrals," Rampell suggests.

2. Going on spending sprees

Some people fail to restrain their impulse for conspicuous consumption. "Individuals who receive a lump sum often think it's a bottomless pit -- that you can do what you want with it and it will continue to be there," says Diane Pearson, a wealth adviser for Legend Financial Advisors in Pittsburgh. Of course, that's not the case.

"We had a client who left her entire $500,000 estate to her 18-year-old niece with no instructions. Sad to say that as much as we tried to help the young woman, she just went on a spending spree, and it's all gone," Pearson laments.

So what's the solution? "Plan for the future," she says. Depending on your financial goals, "there are all kinds of vehicles to tuck away your money and avoid a big tax bill."

Wala motingog si Amor nga dako nag tiyan. Wa na lang magdaghan pag sulti si Sisoy, gidala niya si Amor sa iyang payag nga dili halayo sa ilang nahimutangan.

Sa pagpanglabay sa mga adlaw naanad na si Amor pagpuyo uban kang Sisoy. Wa siyay reklamo sa ilang pagkaon nga sagad kan-on sa mga kabos, sama sa mga kinhason sa dagat, mga isda nga kuha ni Sisoy sa iyang pagpanubid sa dagat. Nalingaw usab si Amor sa tikarol. Alang kaniya ang tikarol maoy hulagway sa usa ka tawo nga naningkamot nga mabuhi ug nagsalig sa dagat. Kausa nakita kini ni Amor nga midayib sa katunggan ug midagit sa kasag sa iyang paglupad. Sa sunod bulan manganak na siya sa bunga sa ilang pagminahalay ni Sisoy.

Usa ka buntag samtang naghulat siya kang Sisoy nga didto sa dagat, may nakita siyang duha ka tawo. Si Rossel, ang bagis niyang igsuon, kuyog sa usa ka barkada.

Ug paglingi niya habig sa tuo mao usay pagdunggo ni Sisoy. Ug sunod niyang nadungog mao ang lanog nga buto sa armas de fuego. Nalantawan niya nga napaluhod si Sisoy sa kilid sa iyang sakayan. Midagan si Amor apan dili siya makabuylo kay dako na iyang tiyan. Misinggit na lang siya sa ngalan sa iyang maguwang, “Manoyyy Rossellll, maluoyyy kang Sisoyyyy! Di ko gusto nga matawo kining akong gimabdos nga way amahannnn!!!”

Ug sa misunod nga mga gutlo mipuli ang kahilom. Mibanos ang tingog sa tikarol nga daw magul-anon nga nagbatog sa sanga sa Mulbolan. Gigakos ni Amor si Sisoy, nga nagdunguyngoy. (Katapusan)

GIPINTALAN ni Sisoy ang iyang sakayan kay gusto niya nga itingob na lang niya ang iyang kaugalingon sa pagpanagat. Nakahukom siya nga dili na mobalik sa iyang gitrabahoan nga machine shop didto sa siyudad. Naglikay si Sisoy kay basin unyag dunay buhatong dili maayo ang igsuon ni Amor kaniya. Kagahapon may mitaho kaniya nga dili kuno siya lung-an hangtod nga dili nila makita nga siya wala nay kinabuhi.

Samtang nagpadayon sa iyang buhat si Sisoy nabati niya ang tingog sa usa ka tikarol. Kining langgama dugay nang nagpuyo diha sa kahoyng Mulbolan. Duha kini sila kaniadto, apan ang usa, ang laki nga tikarol, napusilan sa mga nangayam diha sa katunggan sa unahan. Nindot kining maong langgam, tag-as og sungo nga takos sa pagtukob sa mga isda nga buot niining dagiton. Hasta mga kasag sa hunasan, mga takla, ug mga agukoy dili makalikay sa tikarol. Namatikdan ni Sisoy nga kanunay magpaatbang kaniya ang tikarol. Morag naanad na kini sa bayhon ni Sisoy kay anha man kini batog sa sanga sa Mulbolan dili halayo sa sakayan ni Sisoy.

Unya nahinumdom siya kang Amor ug kadtong hapon kanus-a gitabangan siyang kulata sa barkada ni Rossel, igsuon ni Amor. Diha gani si Ireneo, amahan ni Amor, nga miabiba sa nangulata kaniya. Nagkanayon kini, “Hala, bun-oga ninyo nang pobreng dako!” Nadungog sab niya ang tingog ni Amor nga mibadlong sa nangulata kang Sisoy. Apan dili niya sala ang nahitabo. Si Amor maoy dakog gusto kaniya. Kini usab ang nangitag lugar nga magkakuyog sila ug manuroy sa siyudad. Ug nahitabo ang iyang gikahadlukan, nagmabdos si Amor. Wala kini malilong sa pamilya sa dalaga nga maoy tag-iya sa machine shop nga iyang gitrabahoan. Nakahukom siya nga moundang sa maong trabaho.

Nahaigking si Sisoy dihang may tingog sa babaye nga misangpit kaniya.

“Amor, giunsa nimo pagtultol dinhi sa among sityo?” ni Sisoy nga nasurprisa apan gibatig kalipay nga gisambugan og kaguol, kay segurado man nga pangitaon gyud si Amor sa ginikanan niini ug mga igsuon kay pinangga man.

“Nagpangutana ko didto sa lungsod,” hinay nga tingog ni Amor.

“Wa lang unta ka moapas nako dinhi, Amor!” may kabalaka ang tingog ni Sisoy. “Delikado kaayo kay pangitaon man ka nila.”

Hmm, naa ba kahay silot ang makalibang gawas sa pansayan?

Ni HERTY B. LOPEZ


GIDEKLARAR na nga Zero Open Defecation (ZOD) ang Barangay Sillon, lungsod sa Bantayan human hingpit na nga nahatagan ang tanang panimalay niini og pansayan.

Aduna’y 996 ka mga panimalay ang barangay ug 472 niini mao ang way kaugalingong pansayan.

Ang pagdeklarar og ZOD nagpasabot kini nga bisan paman nga kuwang ang mga pansayan apan ang mga residente sa lugar di na kini malibang sa bisan asa apan ug aduna na silay angay nga hygiene aron luwas sila sa kagaw nga gikan sa hugaw sa tawo.

Gilangkuban sa Municipal Health Officer, Rural Sanitary Inspector ug sa third party nga representative gikan sa Internations Non-Governmental Organization nga nakigtambayayong usab sa Department of Health alang sa programa niini nga Water and Sanitation Hygiene (WASH).

Ang grupo nibisita sa lugar nga wa magpahibaw sa 10 porsiyen­to sa kinatibuk-an nga panimalay sa lugar aron masuta kon pasado na ba kini sa ZOD criteria.

Base sa standards sa DOH ubos sa programa nga Philippine Approach to Total Sanitation (PhATS) nga madeklarar lang ang usa ka lugar nga ZOD kana kon wa nay malibang sa publiko nga mga luna.

Gikinahanglan usab nga anaa silay kaugali­ngon o nakisawo sila og pansayan ug gibansaybansay na nila ang pagpanghugas sa kamot pinaagi ang sabon ug tubig human modamit sa pansayan.
