Era el Pabellón de los Crónicos, y alojaba 1271 internados. Era el Hospital Psiquiátrico de Manila, el mayor de las Islas Filipinas. Era 14 de diciembre de 1977, o más bien, la noche de ese día. En esa ocasión y en esas circunstancias, se desarrolló' una de las mas penosas tragedias.
Un corto circuito dioí origen a dn fuego en el Pabellón de los Crónicos. Todos los alojados allí, eran locos violentos, incurables, peligrosos. Pronto las llamas envolvieron todo el pabellón, y comenzaron, valga la expresión, escenas de locura. Los carros de bomberos, con sus sirenas aullantes y sus luces de alarma, acudieron por docenas; los oficiales daban órdenes a gritos; los chorros de agua cayendo sobre el infierno levantaban nubes de vapor y de humo; muchos de los pacientes reian a carcajadas; otros gritaban con alaridos lacerantes.
Los residentes del Condado de Uvalde se invitan a un Taller de Envoltura de la Comunidad que tendrá lugar el Jueves, 21 de Septiembre en el Centro Cívico, 300 E.Main a las 7 p.m.
El propósito del taller, patrocinado por el Camino Real Health Systems Agency, es de recaudar opiniones del público para determinar cuáles son las necesidades de más importancia que se deben incluir en el Plan de Sistemas de Salud 1979, de
en el sistema de distribución de atención medica . También documentará la distribu-cumentar la deficicien-sia y la ineficiencia las necesidades de esta area.
Entre los conciernos que ya han sido identificados por talleres similares durante los años anteriores son el cáncer, salud dental, nuticion, salud mental, servicios ambulatorios, servicio medico de emergencia y costo. Nuevo otros temas de salud completan la lista, anoto Hubbard.

Pero 32 locos quedaron quietos, impasibles ante el avance de las llamas. “Parecían tener miedo del mundo exterior-dijo Jaime Castaneda jefe de bomberos de Manila-se negaron a salir, y rechazaron toda ayuda”. Estos treinta y dos pacientes, murieron abrazados, siendo las únicas víctimas del siniestro.
acuerdo con la Sra. Michal Hubbard, la Gerente del Desarrollo del Plan de Salud.
Amigo, cuanto hay para reflexionar aquí? Una de las cosas mas pavorosas que pueden ocurrir, es precisamente un incendio. Una de las dolencias mas terribles que aquejan al ser humano, es la locura. Y una de las emociones mas violentas que pueden ocurrir, es precisamente un incendio. Una de las dolencias mas terribles que aquejan al ser humano, es la locura. Y una de las emociones mas violentas que pueden suceder, es el pánico general incontrolado. Todo eso se junto', en una hora de espanto dantesco, en el Hospital de Manila.
Camino Real es una agencia independiente, privada para planear programas de salud que fue creada por ley del Congreso en 1976 (P.O. 93-641) y designada par servir una a'rea de Texas conocida como Health Service Area No. 9 (HSA 9), una región de 21 condado extendiendo de San Antonio a Del Rio
Ya que sean identificados estos temas, un Plan Anual de Imple-mentación es desaro-llado. Este plan entonces iden tifie a objetivos específicos serán tomados para dirigirse a estos conciernos de salud año,” Hubbard.

Y yo me pregunto amigo, esta tragedia no es ' una representación del mismo estado general en que se encuentran el mundo y la humanidad? Locura, miedo, espanto, : incendio y muerte. Asi han de ver los angeles del juicio, que ya están listos, a esta pobre tierra y a esta pobre raza envueltos en una ¿/vorágine de pecado.
Pero hay esperanza! Hay un Juicio por delante, es cierto! Pero hay esperanza. Cristo es la Esperanza. Cristo ya vertió' su Sangre redentora. Cristo pago el precio en el Calvario. Cristo ya mando predicar la buena áoticia a todo el mundo. Y Cristo ascendió | los cielos y desde allí intercede por todos flps pecadores arrepentidos. Hay una vía de ¿scape para el incendio de este mundo, éste es JESUCRISTO, el que con todo derecho dijo: “Yo soy el camino, la Verdad X la Vida”.

“Aunque el Plan de Salud (HSP) es un documente de cinco años, revisiones anuales tienen que ser im-plementadas para asegurar que el plan continue cumpliendo con los conciemos de los residentes de la area, dijo Hubbard.
El documento que sea revisado durante 1979 y por lo cual se llevarán acabo los talleres de discusión, se espera que proporcione a los residentes de el HSA 9 con la base para promoverá7 un ambiente saludable, revisando los cambios propuestos
Los participantes en el taller serán invitados a participar en el proceso de revision, listando por importancia determinada en el taller 35 áreas de necesidades especificamente las necesidades de salud.
Además los asistentes al taller serán introducidos a la Agencia Camino Real y se les dará una sobrevista de el trabajo que ha llevado acabo y sus esperanzas; 'A dijo Hubbard.
Estos talleres se llevarán acabo en cada uño de los 20 condados que sirve Camino Real y los resultados se usarán para determinar las necesidades que deben tomar primer lugar en el año entrante, dijo Hubbard

At that charge Mr. Stewart came forth

then banged with his fist on the table and stood up and answered: “You don’t tell me nothing!”.
As the rest of the Commissioners and Judge Darley voted for the employment of Jones, Commissioner Torres began walking out of the room saying he voted against it.
