LC installs 56 more CCTV cameras

By Dominic B. dela Cruz Staff Reporter IN A MOVE to beef up security in the city, the Laoag City government installed 56 additional closed-circuit television cameras around its business district. City information technology officer Franz Felipe said eight are already fully functioning. They are cameras along Gen. Segundo Ave., P. Gomez St. several schools, the Gilbert Bridge as well as on major business areas in the city. Felipe is hopeful the phase III of the project would be completed within this year or early next year. The CCTV system was one of the pet projects of former Laoag mayor Michael V. Fariñas during his three terms to help the police in securing the city. Phase I saw the installation of 16 CCTV cameras and with the additional 56 CCTV cameras, the city now has 72 CCTV cameras installed.

Katipunan: A barangay with two legends

By Myra Yoro Madayag Contributor   Katipunan from the root word “tipon” means merging or joining of two or more species. Katipunan formed from a two legend Sitios of Cangitingitan and Ganonggong. As I have the privilege to do a research for my personal curiosity and by the special request of Mr. Danny Agsalog, son of Mr. Vitaliano Agsalog, it gave me the determination and the urge to discover for myself and to get a fact-finding research to establish a record for history about the merging of Katipunan which is also my place of birth. I left Katipunan and moved to La Union after dropping from my second year in Sinait National High School to look after my blind grandfather and my grandmother who were suffering from breast cancer. And during my 15 years in Sinait, I never heard from anybody and I didn’t dare ask my parents why and how our place was named Katipunan.

Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus

The Latin maxim “falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus” means “false in one thing, false in everything”. This “is a hoary maxim which allows a fact-finder to disbelieve a witness’s entire testimony if the witness makes a material and conscious falsehood in one aspect of his testimony. The maxim is based on the logic that a person may mistakenly testify wrongly and still be believable, but if a person testifies falsely, willfully, and materially on one matter, then his “oath” or word is not “worth anything” and he is likely to be lying in other respects.” Li v. Holder, No. 08-70586 (9th Cir. 12/31/2013) As Ron Paul puts it, “if an entity (person or government) has lied to you about one thing, it is safe (and legal) to assume that entity has lied to you about everything. Given the fact that the government has been caught lying over and over and over about things big and small, is it not safe to assume the government is lying to us about everything?” Consider these examples: An
