Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion. But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened . Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions. Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE? Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace? WHY?? There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance: The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

PARAÑAQUE- The Parañaque City government and the Rotary International District 3830, Rotary Homes Foundation, and the Answering the Cry of the Poor (ANCOP) Foundation will host a charity fun run on April 22, Sunday.

“More than an activity for keeping healthy and fit, "Home Run 2" is an opportunity to help build the lives of the less fortunate by providing them a decent home while protecting the environment,” said Parañaque Mayor Florencio Bernabe Jr.

The upcoming fun run will help support Rotary Home’s socialized housing project that aims to build 1,000 homes in a 4.2-hectare property along the C-5 Extension Road near Multinational Village within the next seven to 10 years.

The said housing project will serve as a relocation site for the informal settlers who are presently living along the bank of Pasig River.

Aside from providing new homes to informal settlers, the project will also in effect be saving the Pasig River from further pollution.

Home Run 2 is hosted by the following Rotary Clubs of District 3830: RC Palanyag Parañaque; RC Makati San Antonio; RC Makati West; RC Makati North; RC Parañaque Metro South; RC Parañaque Poblacion; RC Makati San Lorenzo; RC Parañaque Southwest; and RC Makati.

The fun run is divided into four categories: 5k and 3k runs, 1k kids’ dash and 1k unity walk. The entry fee is as follows: P500 (5k and 3k) and P400 (1k dash and 1k unity walk).

The Parañaque City governbment has passed an ordinance, banning the raising of pigeons and other birds within eight miles or 13 kilometers radius from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

The city council passed City Ordinance No. 12-02, Series of 2012, authored by City councilor Eric Baes. The ordinance amended Municipal Ordinance No. 93-08, Series of 1993 that stipulated the prohibition on the raising of bird species in the immediate vicinity of the NAIA.

The passage of the ordinance stemmed from the request of Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Jose Angel Honrado to Parañaque Mayor Florencio Bernabe, Jr. to widen the area stated in the old ordinance in the interest of aviation safety and in compliance to standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

Birds in flight are known to cause air accidents as birds on the ground can compromise aircraft take-offs and landings.

“To ensure the safety of international air travelers flying in and out of the country via NAIA as well as our residents and the general public, we need to expand the restrictions on the raising of pigeons and other bird species within the air safety radius of our international airport,” Bernabe said.

Under the amended ordinance, it would be unlawful for any person, entity, partnership, corporation or association to breed, raise or domesticate pigeons and other species of birds within eight miles/13 kilometers or 12,800 meters radius from the City of Parañaque boundary adjoining the NAIA.

“The City of Parañaque will assist and cooperate with the MIAA and the national government to ensure and promote aviation safety without necessarily jeopardizing the bird sanctuary in our city,” Bernabe said.

Violators will be penalized with a fine of not less than P1,000 nor more than P5,000 or imprisonment of not less 10 days and not more than 30 days or both at the discretion of the court.

PARAÑAQUE- Parañaque Mayor Florencio Bernabe Jr. ordered the local police to intensify its mobile and foot patrol routines during the Holy Week.

According to Bernabe, many residents make their retreat to their home provinces during this Lenten season.

“We want to make sure that visitors, motorists, residents, and their homes are safe during the Holy Week rush and this is why we have ordered the local protective services to heighten their alert status,” Bernabe said.

He added that aside from increased police visibility, he also tasked the local police to set up citizen assistance desks in the following areas: SM Sucat in Brgy. San Dionisio and SM Bicutan in Brgy. Don Bosco, and in churches including the Redemptorist Church in Brgy. Baclaran, St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Brgy. La Huerta, and in St. Anthony de Padua in Brgy. San Antonio.

Bernabe also instructed the local Bureau of Fire Protection to be on alert status.

The city government will likewise put up motorist assistance centers along the Coastal Road in coordination with the Public Estates Authority Toll Corporation (PEATC).

Meanwhile, the local chief executive urged residents to take fire safety measures and secure their homes first before leaving.
