OPEN LETTER TO GOA BISHOP.

Everything is not going well in some of your Diocesan Schools. In my neighbourhood Diocesan School,  the school management under the supervision of the Church Pe. Vigar who is also the principal of the school, issued “Raffle” lists in aid of the projects of the Parish school.  Each list costs Rs. 210/- and these lists are distributed to collect the money thru the students.  Every student is given one list and even in one house where there are 2 or 3 students, each house will have to 2 or 3 lists in which case there will be an unbearable burden on every such house.

To collect this amount is not a joke; it is a big pressure not only on the young students but even on their parents. I know some children are crying at their homes in front of their parents to help them to collect the money and because of this unwanted burden on them some students are suffering from tension and mental stress.

The Goa Church headed by the Bishop House at Panjim Altinho is very rich and as such it can easily finance the School projects instead of exploiting the poor students thus giving our enemies an opportunity to defame Catholicism.  This whole business of the Raffle looks like extortion of money which is against the teaching of the Christ.  Besides, the said Church every Sunday collects about 40,000/- from the faithful.  From this collection the Diocesan school in my neighbourhood can easily finance the school project instead of begging with the aid of Raffle.   

Last year in a similar incident when one young girl approached one young boy to help her to collect the money for her Raffle list, the boy replied thus “if you allow me to have sex with you then I will do the needful”.  These Raffles are become a source of mental stress, financial burden on poor students and their parents and a big source of sin for our young girls who in order to fulfill their obligations to make the Pe. Vigar/Principal happy are ready to do anything.  This has to be stopped otherwise Senhor Bishop and Senhor Gaumcho Pe. Vigar you both will be held responsible for any untoward incident happening because of this Raffle business.

 

The Village Pe. Vigar is not interested in anything other than collecting money by any means. This school was built thru the contribution and donation of the locals with Zero investment from the Church authorities.  Government is paying so much for this school including the Rent to the Church.  Where this money goes?  Concerned Church authorities has to answer to this query.

OPEN LETTER TO LUIIZIN FALEIRO.

When you took over the reins of Congress Party in Goa from your predecessor John Fernandes who otherwise was doing his best to rejuvenate Congress Party in Goa, everything looked rosy but sorry to say that your actions so far did not come up to our expectation. The next election is approaching very fast and Congress Party under your leadership so far has not indicated your planning done to  win the next election.

So far you have not indicated nor given any clue of your likely candidates contesting the next election.  You are still not clear on the fate of defeated candidates and old guards.  They must be replaced by all means with fresh and young ones and there are plenty of them under the Congress umbrella waiting for their chances. 

In my constituency we need a fresh Congress candidate and not the defeated one to  get another sure defeat. In my constituency if you do not field a fresh candidate then Congress Seat in my constituency will be R.I.P.  We as a group of political activists decided to work against any candidate imposed on us from Delhi and Panjim.  The supporters of Congress Party in our constituency should be taken into confidence when selecting the candidate. Our target will be the defeated candidates, old guards, revengeful and vindictive candidtes, bribe takers, looters and corrupt ones.  This time  Luizin Faleiro you will have to be very careful in selecting a candidate of Congress Party for our constituency.  And for God’s sake please stop using the terminology as “High Command” and “Madame Sonia Ghandi’s” instruction.  We don’t care your H.Command and waitress Sonia to teach us.  Ultimately we the voters are the bosses, give due respect to us to support you. It is we the voters who will elect the candidates and not your High Command and Low Command.

Please be ready to select the right candidates fast to allow them and their supporters to make the necessary preparations much in  advance. Last minute hurry will jeopardise the chances of good results and for this you alone will be held responsible.

A.Veronica Fernandes,

Candolim, Goa.

FC GOA LOST MISERABLY.

Well  done Chennai  in defeating Goa today by 4 – 0 goals.  Though not exceptionally talented team, Chennai played more as a cohesive unit with accurate passing and finishing appropriately where the hat-trick hero Mendonza proved to be unstoppable in the opposition citadel.  Elano was the brain behind his team with distributing the ball to his colleagues very nicely and very cleverly. The goal he scored was just a superb piece of his cool temperament and accuracy. To sum up, Chennai outplayed their host in every department of the game thereby making mockery of the training methods of Zico who surely will have to devise better methods to move forward.

The whole weakness of Goa remained on their faulty defence especially right side thru which all the moves were initiated by Chennai attackers.  Brazilian Lucio was more responsible to feebly guarding his territory, he was very slow in his clearance even near the goalmouth.  In  the World Cup match he did such mistake and conceded an easy goal.  The other defender Gregory proved to be a pale shadow of his previous self.  These once big names have crossed their limit to produce exciting and interesting soccer, they are now a liability on their team.

The so called golden duo of Goans namely Mandan and Romeo were more like spectators, there was no killing insticts in them.  Romeo was not Vasco’s Andrew and Mandan was not Visitacao Lobo of Sesa Goa and as such both of them have failed to deliver the goods.  The only exciting move of Goa was the release of powerful right footer 15 minutes before the final blow by Reinaldo that hit the inside part of the pole and rebounded into the play. 

It was a pity that Goa could not take advantage of the home ground to get the maximum points to the chagrin of the vociferous home crowd.  Unless there is total change in the methods of play, Goa is bound to fail miserably with the type of soccer it dished ot today.
