Her urine results revealed presence of ketones and glucose. These two abnormal results in the urine prompted her primary physician to refer her to my daughter, Dr. Leah Nita Tayko Verdillo, a diabetologist. After examining her, it was revealed that her blood sugar level was high and that she

had type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). She was immediately placed on insulin therapy. Her grandmother, was given instructions, in lieu of her mother, (who is single and works abroad), on how to administer insulin injection and how to manage her diet and other activities. She is now eight years old and is thriving well. Aside from Hope, Dr. Verdillo, has four other patients with T1D whose ages range from 4 – 14 years old.


T1D, formerly known as juvenile diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes , is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose)


to enter the cells to produce energy. The symptoms of T1D are: high levels of glucose in the blood, high levels of glucose in the urine;, frequent urination, extreme thirst and a dry mouth, extreme weight loss, weakness and fatigue, blurred vision and moodiness. Hatton et al (1995), described three phases of coping with diabetes in the very young as follows: initial grief, guilt, and anger at diagnosis, followed by caring for the child at home which is


described as a time of survival and the final stage - adaptation as the parents learn to trust others and build support systems. Some parents are able to cope while others may have difficulty. In a book, Even Little Kids Get Diabetes (1991), Connie White Pirner, wrote about her family’s experience of having a child, named Lydia, who was diagnosed with T1D at the age of two. She wrote,

She also shared some scary moments –flu, insulin reactions, and getting stuck in traffic with no food. She concluded: “Diabetes has taught me just how fragile and precious life is, not just for Lydia, but for everyone else.” The scenario in the Philippines is rather grim. In a report by the Medical Observer,

“The initial shock, grief and fear were overwhelming. We felt so alone.” Later she found out that many children were afflicted with the disease condition. There is no cure for diabetes. She read about the disease, planned ahead, placed her child under the care of a

Dr. Tommy Ty Willing, president of the Philippine Diabetes Association (PDA) says: “Diabetes mellitus is not only a disease of the middle age. More and more, high school and elementary school students have it. At age 22, a student is blind and he is not even earning yet. Another patient, at age 20, is having dialysis already, and is possibly at risk for a stroke or heart attack.” In addition, pediatric endocrinologist Sioksoan Chan-Cua, claims that patients as young as five years old are coming to her clinic with type 2 diabetes, a disease usually associated with people 40 years and above. She adds, “I’m getting patients with blood sugar of more than 1,000. They come in with diabetic ketoacidosis, a breakdown of fat tissues when the body cannot utilize the glucose very well anymore.” (Simbulan 2008). Diabetes will not go away… it will be there for life, so acceptance is the first step, then adjustment to one’s lifestyle is next, reading about the disease will be helpful, followed by being under the care of a physician, and entrusting one’s life to our Lord Jesus Christ. Remember this verse: “… And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of age.” Matthew 28:20

Fast-tracking of 2017 projects For FY 2017, Php78.6 million worth of projects was approved, yet, only Php14.57 million or 18.54% of the projects have been completed. Due to the perpetual pleadings of barangay captains regarding the delay in the execution of approximately Php 36.6M worth of infrastructure undertakings, Mayor Felipe Antonio “Ipe” Remollo has assigned two engineers to specifically draft programs of work and craft detailed computations aiming to relieve the backlog.


This is a welcome development. This directive will not only appease the barangay captains who have been complaining but will most importantly provide the services that the residents of Dumaguete badly need. We can just imagine how many barangay roads will be concreted and widened in a timely manner thereby making the transportation of goods convenient and for people to have easy access to services found in the city; the punctual rehabilitation of controlled dump site and disposal system; the acceleration of projects related to the construction and restoration of shoreline protection structures; and the building of several multipurpose and evacuation centers/facilities.


From the usual ratio of 1 police personnel for every 500 people, the current police force has a ratio of 1:1000 for a population of 1.3 million all over Negros Oriental.

though, more than adding personnel in the police force and intensifying police visibility, the police hierarchy in the city must give importance to activities that will empower people to report in a timely manner crimes committed. Similarly, they must convince people to be vigilant and be alert in reporting and detecting perpetrators of criminal activities.


We must all remember that the police can only do so much. Nothing beats an empowered and a vigilant citizenry in fighting crooks and felons and

In like manner, the Mayor has instituted a policy aimed at regularizing, or at least appointing, as casual plantilla the city’s Job Order workers who have been in service for 10 to 20 years.

It is not wrong to show gratitude to those who have helped us in our bid for political positions, however, we should also remember that when we install people in positions they know nothing about or appoint people who are only there to claim their paychecks, we are actually ruining not just the government but the entire future of everyone in this city.

employees with other lending institutions to better monitor the loan contracts entered into by these employees. Based on reports, the total accumulated loans availed of by employees have now reached P 116 million, this amount is what First Valley will buy-out with the same terms and interest rates. With this scheme, the concerned worker will recover his/her good standing status and can help employees manage their finances better.


This is a commendable step towards freeing government employees from the clutches of loan sharks and usurious lending institutions. Notably, a huge percentage of government employees are at the mercy of lending transactions and because of this, the employees don’t have anything much to look forward to when payday comes. Upon receiving their salaries, they pay multiple lenders or make another loan which will bury them deeper in debt.

At present, the total number of female inmates is placed at 115. At the Negros Oriental Detention and Rehabilitation Center, the provincial warden has a different way of instituting security measures. Warden Franklin Culanag is leveling up with the detainees so he gets their respect.


For this, he is able to get inside the different cells by himself and talk to them about his policies.
