Atty. Wilter Yap Palma, Sibugays newest Chief Executive was humbly amazed and grateful for the humongous crowd poured in to witness the celebration composed of supporters, capitol employees, guests from different provinces, the clergies, and most of all the Sibugaynons with happy hearts. At last, Zamboanga Sibugay is back on track with the leadership of Gov. Palma, what the Sibugaynons must have to do is to watch over those who are at the helm, as to whether they will deliver.
Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay at the Capitol Buildings Center Podium on June 29, 2013 is the inauguration of the newly elected Governor Atty. Wilter Yap Palma, V-Governor Atty. Rey Andre C. Olegario, 2nd District Representative Dr. Ann K. Hofer and the rest of the provincial board members of the Province of Zamboanga Sibugay. The celebration started with a Holy Mass with no less than Bishop Julius S. Tonel, SJ DD and eleven other con-celebrator priests of the Diocese of Ipil leading followed by the inaugural speeches, thanks giving, and the lay-outing of the agenda of the elected ofcials above mentioned for the betterment of the state of the province and to uplift each Sibugaynons lives who were deprived for the last 3 years. It was a day of not just a mere ceremonial celebration but a moment of rejoicing for once again, Zamboanga Sibugay Province is back to the hands of Sibugaynons for each of us were clearly bullied by non- Sibugaynons for the past three years. It was a ray of lig ht, a beginning of new hope for the constituents, and the redemption of the Sibugayan dignity and pride, to describe further.
Three days after the successful yet equally-controversial conduct of the Philippine mid-term election, Pope Francis addressed the new ambassadors to the Holy See. There is a need for nancial reform along ethical lines that would produce in its turn an economic reform to benet everyone. (Pope Francis Address to the new Ambassadors to the Holy See, 16 May 2013, http://www.Zenit.org) This is his assertion for such need to be addressed which requires a bold move from political leaders to take courageously a change of attitude. The pope further added: I urge them to face this challenge with determination and farsightedness, taking account, naturally, of their particular situations. Money has to serve, not to rule. Such address is opportune. Time and again it holds true to the very stateof the Philippine electoral systemall
its electoral stakeholders and the too much politicking embedded, that have taken place in the recently concluded midterm election. The Popes call is Zamboanga Sibugays call. Money has to serve, not to rule. Apparently, the self-effacing grassroots level approach which has grown like wildre to combat the seemingly money-spinning vote buying can account to the sweeping victory of the newly-elected ofcials. The dire need of the constituents for redemption coupled with its relentless effort has etched a mark in the annals of Sibugays historic feat. It was peoples power that moved mountains in a way so civil and generally peaceful. It was the true voice of the people. The No to Vote Buying call was boldly initiated by the church as big tarpaulins were framed outside; all over the catholic churches within the diocese. There were no street rallies and no strong opposing talk-back gures from the civil society. It was purely prayer-led advocacy and consistent but sustained call that money cannot rule anymore. At the ground, yes there were selling and buying of votes, but where there were evil intentions, good ones prevailed.
great disparity to the incumbents, people came out on the streets and ooded peacefully at the bastionthe provincial capitolsome of whom were soaked in rain and havent taken dinner. The people came, most by self-will, to witness a less than 3 minute proclamation of Governor-elect Wilter Y. Palma on May 14, 2013 at exactly 12:20 a.m. The Jalosjos lost grip of Sibugay in an unprecedented turn out. Such a eeting moment for true-blooded Sibugaynons who dreamed of living free from foreign invasion.
are looking forwardto achieve greater heights and put Sibugay again in the map same as when we on February 22, 2001 by virtue of R.A. 8973 made Sibugay the 79th province.
Yes! Foreign invasion in the context of people governing Sibugaynons who are not by blood Sibugaynons themselves. The issue on localization has always been a great controversy. Only when we are free from this invisible bondage of slavery can we become completely independent. Are we Sibugaynons not capable of running our provincial local government unit? Such question should mean and pose greater challenge to the new governor. And this will anchor his kind of local governance against the three year blueprint he would have to build, together with his legislators. The battle cry of the seemingly-hopeless-governed Sibugaynons Yes! It was a miracle! The top most victors unpredictfor transparency and accountability can be accounted for ably claimed the posts. Peoples choice has always been kept 12 long years. After 12 years of intertwined birthing pangs, to ones self afraid of being pointed and accused to have Sibugaynons are yet to see the pearl of the southern seas favored politicians. Like roaring lions, when margins are in become an icon in the south. And this is what Sibugaynons Page 1
EDITORS NOTE
Bullies No More
Bullying comes in dierent degrees. There are some that are tolerable and some must need to take counter actions. Every action has its equal reaction- Newton We may counter act to anything, its a right, I think, but we should be cautious with our actions because invoking that right too deliberately may turn us into bullies ourselves. Bullying may come in dierent choreographic styles. We laugh at someones weakness, we pick a ght at others unreasonably, but I believe that the highest scale of bullying is when you bend the rules for your own advantage at others expense or worse you ignore the law. A Bully has illusion of innity; he thinks that he is superior over the others unlimitedly especially when he is entrusted with power by the people. Yes, he may be that grandeur in some aspect of existence but he should be aware that public service needs a lot of hard works and not posing around with arrogance in the superlative height. Doesnt he know that ultimately it is the people who have the nal say? It is the people who have the sole right to recall the power they have vested in him. To react needs perfect attitude, preparation, and timing. I was one of those who suered in silence in past with that severe bullying done in the Province. I waited for the perfect timing, it took three years in waiting and when May 2013 came, I nally dispensed my counter action along with the majority. Our voices were heard, our rights reclaimed, and our dignity restored. Now, that we nally installed the leadership of our aspirations, we demand nothing but betterment and we are all anticipating for its deliverance. To the new leadership, we see and we know that you will answer the call of the many in due time, good luck We are looking forward optimistically to the next three years of no more bullying no more phantasmagoria.
Not Cool!

Mao ang mamahimong sumbanan sa dugay mong gihandum nga Mga kabaghuan, Arun hingpit nga makab-ot ang kalambuan. Apan,paunsa man kung ang katawhan Dili uyon sa mga balaud nga gimangno tungod rapud Sa katapulan ug sa dili pagpartisipar sa mga kalihukan Nga unta gimugna man para sa tanan. Busa panahon na arun mubangon ug Magkugi sa minaayong paagi Ayaw tuguti nga pagayatakan sa pag usab Sa mga tawong abusador ug walay gitumang saad. Sibugaynon,nahigmata kana ba? Kay ang paglaum ania na sa imuhang lamesa Hingpit mo ng makuptan dugay mong gilauman Barug nganha kay lahi na run ang atong kagamhanan.

Sunday. As a political activity, it was done for the purpose of strengthening and molding responsible voters to choose highly responsible, sincere, credible and principled community leaders. The faith-impelled movement was mindful of its objective in adhering to good governance for the purpose of achieving greater peace and bolstering development. SK was developed from circles of discernment for elections responding to the call of Pope Benedict the XVI to provide evangelical formation and pastoral accompaniment of a new generation of Catholics working in politics...
Being a Pastoral Parish Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and National Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) volunteer, I had the privilege to be inside the cordoned area of the Provincial Board of Canvassers (PBOC). Governor-elect Palma told me .please tell the bishop, thank you. Without the campaign and advocacy, who am I to win? I am not popular. So there is such thing as Catholic vote! It was the rst time I heard the phrase a catholic vote. I rummaged through my notes and wrote a catholic vote. A guy from outside the cordoned area saw it and said yes yes there is such thingas catholic vote. It just happened! My eyes were glued again on the note and became even more spirited. Born and raised in Ipil, a Sibugaynon by blood, I consider myself one of the living witnesses for the last 35 years. I fervently pray that whatever transpired in our beloved province will be a learned lesson and will forever be remembered. After some exchanges of pleasantries, I stood up and like a blue eagle and a ag hoisted in the pole, I walked with head high. I am as determined as these people aroundno afternoon snacks, no dinner, and no coffee, but still up Appalling news came days after the ofcial ling of protest on May 23, 2013 by incumbent Governor Rommel A. Jalosjos against Governor-elect Palma for massive vote buying, intimidation, threat among others. Sibugaynons will now leave this up to the court and the proper authorities. Let the numbers speak for themselves!
Health care for the Sibugaynons is one of Gov. Palmas priority at peak levels of emergencies and unexpected occurrences demanding immediate action as early as eight in the morning the Governor see for himself the hospital rooms that is supposed to be staffed and equipped to offer sophisticated lifesaving services and modern ambulance service that should have been procient in transporting patients and provide on site treatments for medical emergencies but what greatly caught his attention is the scarcity of hospital beds and hospital rooms to cater daily statistics of patients from all over the province and nearby municipalities. The Governor aims to upgrade the facilities despite limited resources, x ventilation and maintain good sanitary condition for the convenience of everyone as well as ample supply of medicines and medical assistance for Philhealth beneciaries.

Oh, what economic relief there is if money has to serve and not to rule! We need nancial reforms! We need public service ethics and accountability! Let us heed the call of Pope Francis! taken during the Medical/Dental Outreach Program in Olutanga on July 27, 2013. Page 2
Road to PROGRESS
In sustaining high level of performance we further need dramatic improvements. The Lutiman - Guicam road project which started last July 2, 2013 is 100% accomplished as of this date. Honorable Governor Wilter Yap Palma personally inspected the repair of the road. A road that is instrumental to the economic growth, especially in 1st district island municipalities namely Mabuhay, Talusan and Olutanga. Kudos for the Provincial Engineering Ofce headed by Engr.Cristopher Lazo and the equally productive team of Engr. Arturo Sorongon in a collaborative effort extended to Gov. Palmas quest for progress.
Governor Palma napili nga chairman sa League of Governors sa Rehiyun nuwebe.Usa ka daku nga garbo natong mga Sibugaynon nga ang atong halandong Gobernador Atty.Wilter Yap Palma nag madaugon sa piniliay sa League of Governors. Ang pagkapili ni Gov.Palma pagpamatuod lamang nga dako ang pagsalig sa iyahang mga kaubang Gobernador sa iyahang kapasidad arun mubarug isip Chairman.Pinaagi sa maong posisyon daku ang mamahimong kalambigitan niya sa kumunidad ug mas madungog na unya ang tingug sa Sibugaynon.

Some individuals are blessed with the gift they seem to know what to do. Others are not so blessed and must exert more effort. The key to this is PRAYER. In doing so, we bring ourselves into the light.

July 5, 2013 marked the rst Friday mass held in the Capitol Podium with the new Governor Wilter Yap Palma and the holy offering was celebrated by Fr. Arnel Demegillo,DCI. It is timely in this transition period for the people of Sibugay, whether they share similar perspective or not. United in faith and in one God, understandings and confusions are brought together; as well as hopes and fears, ambitions and desires. Gov. Palmas advocacy for values formation will denitely be a good start for his foundation on Good Governance. Page 3
The name,Sibugay is derived from the phrase sibug ngari bagay (come closer my friend). My personal understanding of the name of Ipils rst festival Lumpak Tinagbuan stands for a crossroad or a place to meet, true enough because the Municipality of Ipil is situated in very strategic location in Western Mindanao Region. Being the crossroad of the key cities in the Zamboanga Peninsula, ipil earned the reputation of being the primos enter pares or the rst among the equals among the 16 municipalities of the Province of Zamboanga Sibugay where its seat of power stands. Gov. Wilter Yap Palma wants to bring Zamboanga Sibugay and its government closer to the Sibugaynons thats why he initiated its Provincial Local Government Unit along with all its employees to participate with the various activities in line in the weeklong Lumpak Tinagbuan Festival as a gesture of friendship, cooperation, and unity. The governor feels that its now high time to be one and start doing the job which can bring the province to where we all desire she should be. Thus, he further believes that public service is not competition rather complementation. We complement at each others strength and we lean at each others shoulders. Now, if we try to combine our provinces surname Sibugay and Ipils rst festival Lumpak Tinagbuan it becomes Sibugay sa Lumpak Tinagbuan which completes the sense sibug ngari bagay sa dapit diin kita paghimamatay(come closer my friend to the meeting place). Isnt it beautiful? Isnt it a very warm friendly invitation? Then and now, if you say Sibugaynon ko nga taga Ipil or Ipileong Sibugaynon ko, its just the same, what matters is that we pat each others back and greet each other kumusta ka higala under ONE Sibugayan sky. Let us be one!

It was deemed proper to work at eight and end at ve but for a man who has a strong transforming zeal for all elds. Gov. Palma a man who actualizes his potentials will be at his ofce at seven and went home past ve and continue to work even on weekends probably because the eight hours a day and ve days a week is not enough for this transition.
