But much more needs to be done,” Mason said. The report noted that Fili- pino women only get 76 per- cent of what men earn. Also, women in the Philippines and the rest of the region are more likely to work in small firms, the informal sector and lower- paid sectors. “Healthier, better educated mothers have healthier, better educated children.

The Philippine Star | MANILA Philip-pines 752012 - Visiting Queen Sofia of Spain expressed her governmentrsquos desire to ldquoreintroduce and reintegraterdquo the Spanish language in the Philippine educational cur-riculum ldquoI wish to emphasize the support we gave to the educational sector and particu-larly the efforts of the Department of Educa-tion for successfully making into reality the reintroduction of Spanish language in the public educational systemrdquo the queen said during the toast at the state banquet President Aquino hosted in her honor at Malacantildeang Tuesday evening

ldquoSince the time of the galleon of Manila the Spanish language arrived in the Philip-pines as a promising tool for work and development for the Filipino peoplerdquo the queen said

She said the Spanish language not only highlights the two countriesrsquo rich cultural heritage but also ldquoopens up opportunities to secure the well-being of future generations of Filipinos in a globalized worldrdquo

Jesus Gracia Spainrsquos secretary of state for international development told The STAR during the queenrsquos visit to Legazpi City yesterday that they want more Filipinos to speak Spanish to understand the roots of their culture better

ldquoWe are happy to see the Philippines progressing as we reminisce 350 years of our common history and we are proud of our common friendshiprdquo Gracia said

But presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said the Spanish language cannot be taught in all public schools due to lack of teachers

ldquoIt is taught in selected public high schools We have limitations right now We donrsquot have adequate teachers At the moment we cannot make the teaching of Spanish mandatoryrdquo Lacierda said

He said only 64 of the 7000 secondary schools nationwide are offering Spanish as an elective for third and fourth year students

ldquoThis is in close coordination with the Instituto Cervantesrdquo he said

ldquoItrsquos part of our cultural heritage Itrsquos nice to learn a foreign language Itrsquos always an advantage to learn a foreign language But the problem is the mechanics and also the practicality of having sufficient teachersrdquo he added

More employment opportunitiesSenate committee on education arts and

culture chairman Sen Edgardo Angara said reintroducing the Spanish language in schools will not only strengthen bilateral relations with Spain but also help prepare students for a possible career in tourism business process outsourcing and other related sectors

Angara said Spanish language courses should be integrated in arts livelihood and

Queen Sofia wants Spanish back in Phl public schools

sports subjects at the 11th and 12th grades under the K+12 program

ldquoIf you speak Spanish you can speak to almost one-third of the world If you speak Mandarin English and Spanish you talk practically to the entire world Thatrsquos how valuable language is in these modern timesrdquo Angara said

ldquoThe trend of investment and tourism of Latin America is towards Asia We ought to catch that wave because now we have a natural destinationrdquo he added

Angara noted that the Spanish govern-ment through the Agencia Espantildeola de Cooperacion Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID) or the Spanish Agency for Interna-tional Development and Cooperation and the Instituto Cervantes has been sponsoring the training of teachers of the Spanish language in public schools starting with the first batch of 100 teachers who have completed an intensive summer training last year

P-Noy hails Phl-Spain tiesAquino cited the bilateral relations

between the Philippines and Spain saying both countries ldquostand shoulder-to-shoulder in pursuing the ultimate goals of both our nations ndash of fulfilling the vast potential of our peoplesrdquo

ldquoAnd we are working together ndash whether in trade sports defense or in tourism ndash in all the vital spheres of human endeavorrdquo Aquino said

He said bilateral trade with Spain has been steadily increasing with 2011 trade figures pegged at $3296 million

He said Spain is also a partner in improv-ing the lives of Filipinos through their of-ficial development assistance and humanitar-ian programs

The President said the visit of Queen Sofia was ldquoa new history being maderdquo that high-lighted ldquoa partnership between two nations with shared democratic ideals of friendship based not on nostalgia but a principled com-mitment to the positive strength that can be derived from divergent histories a shared and affectionate cultural affinityrdquo

P124-M grantThe Department of Social Welfare and De-

velopment (DSWD) recently received P124 million in grants from the Spanish govern-ment for the implementation of the agencyrsquos community development projects in far-flung areas in the country

Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman said AECID has extended a new grant to the DSWD for the implementation of the proj-ect ldquoPoder y Prosperidad de la Comunidad 7rdquo particularly in the Caraga region

Soliman said the AECID grant will be used for the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Sta Josefa Agusan del Sur and Tubajon towns in the provinces of Dinagat Islands and Surigao del Sur

The Caraga region has 148516 4Ps beneficiaries

The AECID has implemented projects ranging from local governance to disaster prevention rural development environment education health and social services in the country

Queen visits BicolAlbay Gov Joey Salceda and officials of

the provincial government welcomed Queen Sophia and her delegation including Spanish Ambassador Pedro Domecq and Vice Min-ister of International Cooperation and Latin America Gracia at the Legazpi City airport at around 840 am yesterday

After a short program at the airport the queen motored to Albay Pentildearanda Park where she and Salceda unveiled the life-size statue of the first Spanish governor of Albay from 1834 to 1843 Jose Ma Pentildearanda

The queen then visited the Camalig North Central School and evacuation center

She also inspected the newly installed facilities including dialysis and x-ray machines at the Josefina Belmonte Duran Memorial District Hospital in Ligao City

She also attended a briefing on the P110-million Legazpi landfill project funded by AECID at the Climate Change Academy at the Bicol University Gonzalo Serrano AE-CID program officer in the Philippines said Spain had released a total of P16 billion or P400 million a year since 2008 to Albay

Tight security for Zamboanga visitIn Zamboanga City police and the military

have secured all the places that Queen Sofia will visit today

Brig Gen Eugene Clemen deputy chief for West Mindanao Command (Westmin-com) said they have not monitored any threat or plot to disrupt the visit of the queen

MIS-LABELED PEOPLE

The buzz was about the impeachment wherever I went

The unprecedented convic-tion of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court the fi rst in our history and unheard of in any democratic country in recent years is a loud declara-tion to the worldnotdagger that many Filipinos will no longer accept passively the label that we are the corrupt man of Asia

By simply making honesty the highest measure of leader-ship and good citizenship we can gain global trust open the fl oodgates of investments and re-brandnotdagger the Philippines as the new wonder economy of Asia

The Filipino brand will mean top quality ethical products good busi-ness climate unmatched hospitality happy and hard-working people and strong moral governance

Business responds positively to transparency and accountability

Only after two years with an hon-est President the Philippine stock market is the most stable in the re-gion our 64 GDP in the last quarter was second only to China We are one notch belownotdagger investment grade after several credit upgrades While the dark clouds of recession and

depression hover over Europe and America the light is shining through our emerging landscape

Defi nitely the grass is getting greener and the sky is becoming bluer in the Philippines

CHANGING MINDSETS

sbquoAumlregThis radical optimism towards the homeland after years of self-exile and self-bashing pervaded the air of rejoicing at the successful GK Hope Ball (June 2) and the Inde-pendence Day parade (June 3) at the Big Apple where Gawad Kalinga volunteers formed the fi rst human marching fl ag along Madison Ave It was the same spirit that energised the GK Global Summit 2012 in To-ronto the following week (June 8-9) Pride was no longer in the singular achievement of Manny Pacquiao or Jessica Sanchez or indignation over their loss but in every Filipino hero participating in nation-building

Gawad Kalinga by building over 2000 communities through the sweat and tears of over a million volunteers from various sectors has shown that the Filipino is now in the game to win not just a perennial spectator or fan

The nobility ofnotdagger sacrifi ce for country in the GK way of ldquopadugordquo - bleeding for the cause - is bringing out what is honorable in our people

GK is a mind-changerFrom a country-basher the Filipino

learns to be a nation-builderFrom a love of power and money

he learns the greater love for the poor and his country

Our greatest challenge is for more Filipinos to learn that integrity is more powerful than money

CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS

ldquoThe result of the impeachment conducted through a true democratic process gained for us the admiration of the global community President Aquinorsquos visit next week to meet President Obama is causing excite-ment in DCrdquo This was the message to us of Philippine Ambassador to

the United States Joey Cuisia at our table conversation as he himself could not contain his amazement at the size of the crowd at the GK Hope Ball many of them doctors and nurses more eager to help the country now that there is clear proof of decency in governance

Christopher Thornley the Cana-dian Ambassador to the Philippines was no less enthusiastic in declaring his optimism the following week at the GK Global Summit in Toronto ldquoI have great affection for the Philip-pines and a big admiration for GK - they bring out the best in peoplerdquo was his sincere comment from a fi rst hand experience as a volunteer with his 11 year old son in the Telus Sunlife and Manulife GK villages in Metro Manila

UNDERVALUED COUNTRY

At the round-table meeting he or-ganised with a dozen Canadian cor-porations and institutions - notably

Sunlife Blackberry(RIM) Bombar-dier SNC- Lavalin York University - the mood was upbeat from the top executives present Their comments were mostly encouraging

ldquoThe Philippines is the underval-ued economy of Asiardquo

ldquoThe effort of the present Philip-pine government to curb corruption will attract more Canadian inves-torsrdquo

ldquoIts more viable to put up a busi-ness hub for Asia in Manila where the cost of living is lower compe-tent executives and skilled workers are available and everyone speaks Englishrdquo

ldquoFilipinos are outstanding citizens in Canada - they are our biggest immigrants in the last two years surpassing the Chinese and the Indiansrdquo

ldquoNow Canada has to compete with other countries to attract the most qualifi ed Filipinos to comerdquo

Not to fault Canada but the bright-est and the best from the Philippines are being harvested by rich coun-tries that did not spend to raise and educate them It would be wise that they invest not just in business in the Philippines but also in the education of our poor if they see Filipinos as their fi rst choice for future immi-grants

Our country is a gold-mine of human treasures but many are still covered with dirt in the neglected slums and in the abandoned coun-tryside waiting to be discovered and polishednotdagger for their true value to come out

A SEASON OF HOPE

This is my fi rst visit to North America in nearly half a century where the mood everywhere I went both among Filipinos and foreigners alike is positive and hopeful about our often battered country not only by natural calamities but by bashing from Filipinos themselves

It is an astounding paradigm shift to those raised with a colonial

When George Madrid the affable young priest arrived at the town of Santa Lucia he welcomed the idea of working with the sacadas impoverished farm workers toil-ing in the rice paddies of a tropical island paradise Born and bred a city boy and knowing little of rural life the newly-ordained cleric encounters widespread suffering among the poor exploited powerless peasantry -- simple folks who cower in fear of the dictatorial regimersquos abusive mili-tary forces and who are exploited by affl uent self-serving land-owners and radicalized by Maoist-inspired insurgents

In the chaos following a village-wide massacre Father George feels compelled to join the underground insurgency movement He eventu-ally rises to the top echelons of the Communist Party of the Philip-pines Father George Madrid now Kumander Gusi third in command of the dreaded New Peoplersquos Army becomes the main target of a nation-wide manhunt

At every turn the priest turned rebel is haunted by his decision Was

defecting the right thing to do Was he truly liberating the poor and the oppressed Or was he simply living the romanticized life of a revolution-ary

Fourteen years of living as a fugitive and enduring hundreds of skirmishes Kumander Gusi is still searching for answers when the charismatic former senator Benigno ldquoNinoyrdquo Aquino returning from exile in the United States is brutally gunned down at the Manila Interna-tional Airport

When ldquoPeople Powerrdquo mass protests on February 22-25 1986 plunge the Philippines into the raging throes of a populist revolu-tion the cleric turned communist commander fi nds himself laboring with friends and enemies to steer their beloved country through a historically turbulent and perilously unpredictable course

Can he avert a national catastro-phe Will he fi nally fi nd redemption for himself

This historical novel is dedicated to the thousands who lost their lives during the dark nights of Martial Law in the Philippines (1972-1986)

And to Benigno Ninoy Aquino and Redemptorist priest Father Rudy Romano

Prologue

Sunday August 21 1983 Manila International Airporthellip

The pilots of China Airline fl ight 813 switched gears The tower had cleared them for touch down A large crowd standing in the af-ternoon sun to welcome Benigno Ninoy Aquino the exiled former Senator and charismatic opposition leader of the Marcos dictatorship are cordoned off by police and air-port security but continue to wave in eager anticipation

As the plane taxis passengers aboard the jumbo jet are told not to disembark until further instruc-tion When the plane stops three uniformed and armed government soldiers board the aircraft They approach and encircle Aquino He

appears calm and smiling but be-comes slightly apprehensive as he is ominously escorted out of the plane through the rear door The exit door is blocked and no one gets a clear view of Aquino as he descends to the tarmac

Then a barrage of gunshots are heard The senator slumps to the ground struck in the head Two soldiers quickly haul Aquino into a van which speeds away

The priest stares at the TV screen in the hospital lobby for the longest time Grainy video clips of the outra-geous assassination is replayed over and over again as journalists report the news to a stunned nation of 52 million and commentators attempt to explain the senseless killing

Father George Madrid briefl y looks at the crowd milling around the hospital foyer He picks up his crutches not quite certain where he was headed to or what he was going to do next

Philippine Independence Day parade in Madison Avenue in New York

Tony Meloto at the Gawad Kalinga Global Summit in Toron-to Canada

By Zena Sultana Babao

Mind and body work together ndash once the mind improves or deteriorates the body does too and vice versa The Romans of old were right when they said ldquomens sana en corpore sanordquo which in English means ldquoa sound mind in a sound bodyrdquo

A study about aging well was conducted by the Harvard Medi-cal School wherein over 800 men and women were closely followed from their teen years until they were in their 80rsquos Over the years these people were given tests physically examined by doctors and inter-viewed by psychiatrists The fi nd-ings of the doctors and psychiatrists were then evaluated

The study was a medical rarity because it examined the lives of the well not the sick Then Parade magazine reported the fi ndings after interviewing the studyrsquos director A major fi nding is that good genes do not account for better aging Neither did income The study disputed the assumption that aging results in decay

Advancing age may impair some motor skills but maturity can make people even sharper if your know what to do If maturity can make people sharper then the dreaded onslaught of Alzheimerrsquos could be kept at bay

Our memory fades and itrsquos normal and we call that lapse ldquosenior mo-mentsrdquo What we need to know is how to keep our minds sharp Here are some recommendations to do that

LIVE A FULL HEART Look towards the future Anticipate plan and hope Have a sense of gratitude forgiveness and optimism See the glass as half-full instead of half-empty Practice empathy Step into someone elsersquos shoes and see how others feel

SAY NO TO NICOTINE Those who quit the habit before they are 50 are as healthy as those who never smoked Too much nicotine can re-sult in premature aging even death

LEARN TO ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES Cope with stress Make lemonade out of lemons Keep your sense of humor You will enjoy life better if you can take the ups and downs of life

KEEP YOUR WEIGHT DOWN Obesity leads to all kinds of dis-eases like diabetes high blood pressure and Alzheimerrsquos Obesity is the number one health problem in America today

WORK ON HAVING A STRONG MARRIAGE A good marriage con-tributes to a long and healthy life (However if you are married to a habitual womanizer who constantly puts you down and he is ashamed of you no matter how good you are and how good you look life is hell)

NEVER STOP LEARNING People who continue to learn have a longer lease in life No matter how old you are itrsquos never too late to learn more Reading and public speaking keep you mentally sharp It is said that your most productive years are when you are no longer young

BOOST YOUR ENERGY LEV-EL In todayrsquos fast-paced world many of us are juggling so many activities that we end up totally worn

out and burned out and energy level plummets down to zero Without energy our body grinds down to a halt

What we need is to recharge our body to maintain a high level of en-ergy By recharging we can be sure that our body functions optimally Here are some simple things we can do to boost our energy level

STABILIZE OUR BLOOD SUG-AR Quick energy snacks like candy bars and soda may boost energy but only temporarily They leave us more tired than energetic because refi ned sugars are digested quickly and lead to a rapid rise in our blood sugar level Itrsquos much better to eat slow-energy food like fi sh chicken eggs and turkey Non-starchy veg-etables like broccoli and caulifl ower and fi ber-rich food like berries and apples are good sources of energy

KEEP YOUR MOOD UP High-energy people are enthusiastic about what they so If you have waning energy have frequent down days or suffer serious bouts of depression it would be best to consult a doctor

INCREASE ENERGY-BOOST-ING ACTIVITIES Physical activity like exercise builds and strengthens our muscles If we are in shape we are more energetic and are better able to handle stress If strenuous exercise is not possible even a 20-minute walk three times a week will be benefi cial The more regular and intense our exercise is ndash the better the benefi ts

LEARN TO UNWIND Stress can drain us Work commuting and family frustrations are the most com-mon causes of stress Lifersquos stresses activate a broad range of hormonal and immune responses These can lead to aches and pains and diseases we donrsquot want to acquire

To unwind we need good stress-reducing activities like yoga tai chi guided imagery or visualization Qi Gong (a Chinese practice that uses movement to promote energy) and other forms of physical and mental exercise Reading good books especially the Bible is a great way to unwind

GET ENOUGH SLEEP Nothing undermines our energy more than lack of sleep If we are so sleepy we could not function or think normally Although each one of us has different sleep needs and the amount vary from person to person we can safely say that those chroni-cally tired people are those who are sleep deprived

If you are like me who cannot sleep after drinking a cup of coffee in the afternoon drink something soothing like warm milk instead Listening to soft mellow music or reading good books let me sleep I donrsquot know about you but counting sheep doesnrsquot work for me -- zena-sultanahotmailcom

SAN DIEGO June 27 2012 ndash As part of its 2012 Environmental Champions Initiative San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) today announced that it will contribute $1 million to lo-cal environmental non-profit organiza-tions in San Diego County and south Orange County

SDGampE is welcoming proposals from non-profit environmental organi-zations for pro-grams that en-gage and educate young people in the commu-nity as stewards of the environ-ment in the areas of ecosystem awareness en-vironmental conservation and energy and water efficiency

Winning organizations can receive up to $25000 for individual projects and up to $50000 for collaborative projects with partner environmental non-profit organizations This initiative is limited to environmental education and community engagement programs administered in SDGampErsquos territory

ldquoThe San Diego region is home to hundreds of non-profit organizations whose programs engage kids and communities in our local environment SDGampE is proud to partner with many of these non-profits in support of our shared commitment to the environ-

ment and environmental steward-shiprdquo said Pedro Villegas director of community relations for SDGampE ldquoThrough support of our partner non-profit organizations we also seek to provide underserved communities with access to environmental education and engagement programs access that may not be available otherwiserdquo

New Law Increases Public Access to Digital Criminal

Case Information San Diego County District At-

torney Bonnie M Dumanis an-nounced today that Assembly Bill 2222 sponsored by the District Attorneyrsquos Office and authored by Assemblyman Marty Block has passed the California State Senate by a unanimous vote AB 2222 would allow prosecutors in the state to use electronically-stored information stored in their case management databases to run queries and obtain valuable information in response to public records act requests AB 2222 now goes to Governor Jerry

Brown for his signatureldquoOur office strives for government

transparency but current laws are lagging behind technology when it comes to electronic records AB 2222 updates those laws allowing us to respond to the many Public Re-cords Act (PRA) requests we receive every year more efficiently while still complying with the statutes that protect victims and restrict informa-tion like an individualrsquos criminal historyrdquo said Dumanis

Increasingly District Attorneys across California are converting to paperless case files and paperless record keeping Many of those case management systems contain a large amount of detail about a case Cur-

DA-Sponsored Transparency Bill Gets Unanimous Approval from State Senate

rently Public Records Act requests can potentially require the disclosure of information that other statutes currently prohibit

The end result of this conflict is lawsuits for failure to disclose information required by the PRA the expenditure of resources for inefficient searches for information which could be avoided through the use of the electronic case manage-ment system and the appearance of secrecy rather than transparency

AB 2222 amends Penal Code Section 13300 to allow prosecutors to use their electronic case manage-ment databases to run queries and obtain the information that may be disclosed under the California Public Records Act

ldquoWe are sincere in our effort to use our electronic case management system to respond to public records requests and AB 2222 will allow us to do this in a cost-efficient way while complying with current lawrdquo Dumanis said

SB 1264 adds university and college athletic coaches to

mandated reporters list

SACRAMENTO CA (June 26 2012) - California State Assembly Committee on Public Safety today unanimously approved State Senator Juan Vargasrsquo (D-Chula Vista) Senate Bill 1264 which would add all levels of university coaching staff to the list of mandated reporters The bill will next be heard in the Assembly Appropria-tions Com-mittee

ldquoOur childrenrsquos safety must always come firstrdquo said Senator Vargas ldquoToday we are one step closer to making University coaches of every level accountable for reporting sexual abuse and ensuring that no one will get away with protecting their team over the innocence of a childrdquo

SB 1264 which would add any athletic coach including an assistant coach or a graduate assistant involved in coaching at public or private post-secondary institutions to the existing list of mandated reporters as speci-fied in the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act This bill is a neces-sary step in closing the loophole in the current structure of the mandated reporter requirements in order to

ensure that our children are protected and stems from Senator Vargasrsquo read of the federal Grand Jury report in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case at Penn State University

About the Sandusky CaseAt the end of 2011 prosecutors

filed criminal charges against Jerry Sandusky the assistant football coach at Penn State for nearly fifteen years for alleged sexual abuse charges In the case against Sandusky the Grand Jury found that there had been at least

eight victims of sexual assaults throughout his career at Penn State The former head coach of the Penn State football team Joe Pa-

terno allegedly knew of instances of sexual abuse but failed to report these directly to Child Welfare Services Instead he reported to a supervisor who also failed to report to Child Welfare Services

SDGampE Expects to Meet Summer Pow-er Supply Demand

Sunrise Powerlink Conservation Demand-Response Programs will be Key in Helping Local Electric

Grid When Needed

SAN DIEGO June 14 2012 ndash Sum-mer typically means warmer weather and increased air conditioning use This summer San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) is reminding customers that while adequate electricity sup-plies are lined up to meet customersrsquo energy needs conservation and demand response will still be vital during extremely hot weather or an unplanned power plant outage or transmission line emergency

ldquoSDGampE has been working hard to plan for the summer to ensure that customersrsquo summer electricity needs are metrdquo said Jessie J Knight Jr SDGampErsquos chairman and chief executive officer ldquoWhen the Sunrise Powerlink is energized this will help increase the local power supply and improve the situation in San Diego by increasing the amount of imports into the regionrdquo

Despite having adequate electric re-sources conditions are subject to change due to unexpected situations that may be out of our control High air condi-tioning use during summer heat waves or electric transmission emergencies can have severe impacts on SDGampErsquos ability to deliver power ldquoSouthern California faces a challenging electrical resource situation this summer because the regionrsquos largest power plant the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station will remain offline for most of the summerrdquo added Michael R Niggli SDGampErsquos president and chief operating officer ldquoIf we have a lengthy heat wave we may have to call on customers to reduce their energy use As a result SDGampE is encouraging customers to make energy conservation a habitrdquo

The California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO) the agency responsible for managing the bulk of the statersquos power grid issued its 2012 Sum-mer Assessment confirming adequate supplies for most of California Over 283 megawatts (MW) of new generation resources were added to the ISO grid in the second half of 2011 with an esti-mated 926 MW coming on line by July 1 2012 This will primarily be renew-able generation such as solar and wind

The ISO is also increasing demand response and conservation awareness including bringing back the Flex Alerts public awareness campaign alerting customers when to conserve electricity

ldquoIf the ISO issues a Flex Alert we

nity to submit their applica-tions until July 27 Pref-erence will be given to environmental programs that target one or more of the following areas natural resource conservation

and protection habitat preservation and restoration energy efficiency and wasterecycling SDGampE plans to an-nounce the winners in September

SDGampE is a regulated public utility that provides safe and reliable energy service to 34 million consumers through 14 million electric meters and more than 850000 natural gas meters in San Diego and southern Orange counties The utilityrsquos area spans 4100 square miles SDGampE is committed to creating ways to help our custom-ers save energy and money every day SDGampE is a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (NYSE SRE) a Fortune 500 energy services holding company based in San Diego

My Positive Vision for the

PhilippinesBy Cesar D Candari

MDrsquo61 FCAP Emeritus

AS I WRITE this article today the Corona Impeachment Trial ended and the Scarborough Shoal confl ict still covered incessantly the media as a major signifi cant issue a crisis in the south China Sea which to me is frightening sign of what is going to happen Wrong ideas are still in the minds of our intellectuals in the Philippines

Government is a kleptocracy and a family dynasty The nepotism and cronyism that infest the Philippines public life will stay Corruption will persist for the upper economic and political classes in the Philippines It is rampant in these socio-economic and political strata The oligarchic classes are a status quo in Philippine Society-- based on a monopolistic access to material resources and po-litical power Quo Vadis Philippines

As the case of election sabotage against GM Arroyo shall be on trial soon (when is soon) a huge question is how it will end The darkest hour in our judicial history apparently was resolved We have been dragged to the opposite side of delicadeza of honor of integrity I pray we have crossed that bridge and rebuild our dignity from the debris A positive point may be is the fact that we have seen its ugliness its nauseating effect and everything else that doesnrsquot nurture life It was

as though what people suspected were affi rmed beyond the shadow of a doubt ndash that Rene Corona was dirty

The territorial squabbles with China are a problem American bases were kicked out and see what is happening now - the Spratleys- Chinesersquos recent incursion in the Scarborough Shoal - surely to be taken over by China The US doesnrsquot care

Why Filipino nationalists kicked out the American bases Did we improve in many things because we kicked them out Absolutely no

For tomorrow on a positive note President Aquino is determined to turn the corner by instituting genuine wide-ranging mean-ingful reform and acting on its belief that good governance is the bedrock of equitable progress

The President Noynoy Aquino said he is now tackling the problem of graft and corruption He said ldquoIt is with this principle in mind that we have allocated unprecedented sums to alleviate extreme poverty and are concen-trating on providing more opportunities for employ-mentrdquo

There are some signs that the country ndash with its young population of nearly 100 millions people the worldrsquos 12th largest ndash has turned a corner There are three reasons to be hopeful if not yet exactly cheerful

bull First the Philippines after years of indebtedness is a net credi-tor

Overseas remittances from the roughly 8 millions Filipinos work-ing abroad have steadily added to foreign exchange reserves At nearly $80 billions these are higher than the external debt Revenues from back offi ce businesses have quin-

tupled over six years from $200 to $11 Billions

bull Second the country is getting its fi scal house in order The defi cit has narrowed from a worry-ing 5-6 per cent a decade ago to a manageable 2 per cent

bull Third the political situ-ation is vastly improved Benigno ldquoNoynoyrdquo Aquino elected president in 2010 has made a creditable start For one his government has sent out a strong message that it will not tolerate corruption ldquoThy will be

donerdquo

The Philippines in my view is

not a hopeless case The perennial question - Will it degenerate into a greater social political and eco-nomic tragedy

The impeachment of Corona ended He was found guilty

Indeed the truth prevailed This is a resounding impact to all Fili-pinos sending a message loud and clear that there must be accountabil-ity and transparency in our leaders in government

Social entre-preneurship

The View From Taft Florenz C Tugas BusinessWorld Online

The Department of Tour-ism recently launched its campaign on 100

and more reasons why it is more fun in the Philippines This has made Filipinos ev-erywhere feel more proud of their country and has created a way of enticing foreigners to come to the Philippines

This is especially good for the economy but if we want to be stra-tegic about creating jobs to alleviate poverty we have to think beyond the obvious

Aside from targeting foreign tour-ists I propose that we redirect our efforts to ensure that Filipinos stay in the Philippines not because of blind faith nationalism or patrio-tism but because of the many great

Com men tary tary things this country has to offer

I AM PROPOSING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND IN-NOVATION a more sustainable and results-oriented initiative Rather than seek employment and depend largely on imports for the goods and services we need daily we can create businesses that cater to these needs and consequently provide employment

What we are experiencing now can be attributed partly to how we have been conditioned -- that right after graduation we should seek employ-ment Very often the big dream is to land a job in a multinational company

This is good donrsquot get me wrong But this opportunity is usually available only to the elite whom the hiring criteria favor The unemploy-ment fi gures tell us that most of our graduates have not yet realized their dreams Now is the best time for academe to advocate that starting a business is an option for the more than 500000 students who graduate yearly

Early this year I had the oppor-tunity to visit the Enchanted Farm of Gawad Kalinga (GK) in Angat Bulacan The Farm is GKrsquos platform to follow through what it had started which is building homes for the com-munity Through the Farm GK is providing livelihood to the community

During that visit I was inspired by how the community had been structured Social entrepreneurs enable their adopted community to contribute to the huge task of nation-building These social entrepreneurs are college students fresh college graduates and those who used to be employed but who later decided to

pursue social entrepreneurship They created jobs for the community by using raw materials sourced from the Farm

In the Farm I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of interns from other Asian countries Europe and the Americas They are there to learn not only about our culture but also (and more importantly) about the social enterprise platform of the Farm They see much hope for the Philippines Yes they believe that Philippines has the potential to grow and become a developed economy

Quite ironic isnrsquot it They see it but we do not As Tony Meloto the man behind GK puts it Is it always like this That we Filipinos are the last to realize that being a Filipino is a blessing and that having the Philip-pines as our home is among the best gifts from God

His rhetorical questions made me realize that God had not made a mistake when He made us Filipinos The best time to truly be a Filipino is now We have to go back to the basics and appreciate that we are a nation with rich and vast natural resources including some fl ora and fauna that can be found only in our country We have to leverage on this to start our social enterprises that

will pro-vide jobs to the com-munity

The response of the students faculty and admin-istration of the Ramon

V Del Rosario College of Business has been overwhelming In fact at the start of De La Sallersquos second centennial we will push for a year-long program of sustainable aware-ness and involvement in the Farm putting up our own social enterprise in and for the community

Florenz C Tugas is the External Affairs Director of the Ramon V Del Rosario College of Business of De La Salle University A full-time faculty member of the Accountancy Department he specializes in Audit-ing and Assurance and Management of Information Technology courses He can be reached at fl orenztugasdlsueduph The views expressed above are the authorrsquos and do not necessarily refl ect the offi cial posi-tion of De La Salle University its faculty and its administrators

Remedies Sought for FCC Unlawful Action Preventing Access to Wireless Licenses

Valued at $19 Billion

DENVERmdashYesterday the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) a member of the Asian American Cen-ter for Advancing Justice joined 18 small minority- and women-owned businesses (SMWBs) public interest groups and civil rights organizations on an amicus brief in the US Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case

of Council Tree Investors Inc v Federal Communications Commis-sion (FCC) arguing for remedies for damages suffered by SMWBs that participated in the 2008 wireless spectrum auction

ldquoAsian Americans and other minorities are already severely underrepresented in the telecommu-nications industryrdquo said Mee Moua president and executive director of AAJC ldquoAs we increasingly move toward a wireless society and econ-omy it is absolutely critical for all participants in the wireless industry

Maria a Filipino citizen came to me for assistance regarding her daughterrsquos legal residence status Maria her husband their daughter and their son came to the United States on a tourist visa in 2001 At the time Mariarsquos daughter was only seven years old while Mariarsquos son was twelve years old They never left the United States Mariarsquos son married a US citizen and became a US citizen As soon as he turned 21 he petitioned for Maria and her husband who are now legal perma-nent residents of the United States Mariarsquos daughter remains to be undocumented She completed high school but could not get into San Diego Community College because she does not have any legal status She could not work either because she does not have any employ-ment permit I could not offer her a solution at the time because therersquos none Although she is dating a US citizen she was not ready to tie the knot

At least 65000 undocumented immigrant youth graduate from high schools every year and many of them struggle to attend institutes of higher education and military President Obama at last came through with a bold memorandum on June 15 2012 through the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano stating that young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own will be considered for relief from deportation known as ldquoDeferred Actionrdquo Pursuant to Sec-retary Napolitanorsquos June 15 2012 memorandum in order to be eligible for deferred action the foreign national must

Have come to the United States under the age of sixteen

Have continuously resided in the United States for at least fi ve years preceding the date of the memoran-dum (June 15 2012) and are present in the United States on the date of the memorandum

Currently be in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education de-velopment (GED) certifi cate or are

honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States

Have not been convicted of felony offense a signifi cant misdemeanor offense multiple misdemeanor of-fenses or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety

Not above the age of thirty (30)Applicants must also complete

a background check and for those individuals who make a request to USCIS and are not subject to a fi nal order of removal must be 15 years old or older

Deferred action is a discretion-ary determination to defer removal action of an individual as an act of prosecutorial Deferred action does not confer lawful status upon an individual However he or she will be eligible to receive employment authorization for the period of de-ferred action provided he or she can demonstrate ldquoan economic necessity for employmentrdquo Deferred action can be terminated at any time at the agencyrsquos discretion

Individuals who are not in removal proceedings or who are subject to a fi nal order of removal will need to submit a request for a review of their case and supporting evidence to US Citizenship and Immigra-tion Services (USCIS) Individuals may request deferred action if they meet the eligibility criteria Mariarsquos daughter can apply for deferred ac-tion and if approved will be eligible to get an employment authorization I believe that she is eligible for the issuance of social security number and a driverrsquos license

In the coming weeks USCIS will outline and announce the procedures by which individuals can engage in this process At this time those who are eligible for deferred action but NOT in removal proceedings should NOT apply affi rmatively but wait for mid-August when USCIS and ICE will begin accepting ap-plications Those who are facing imminent removal from the United States and who believe they can demonstrate that they satisfy the eli-gibility criteria should immediately contact Law Enforcement Support Centerrsquos hotline at 1-855-448-6903

ScienceDaily (June 26 2012) mdash Monday morning and yoursquore in a hurry On your way out you check your pockets Money Mobile Where are the car keys A quick text message and the keys let you know that they are under the papers on the dining table

This everyday example is quite trivial and doesnrsquot really refl ect the grand vision conjured up for experts by the term lsquoThe Internet of Thingsrsquo (IoT) However it does give us some indication -- the Internet of Things involves the technology we use when the things around us are talk-ing to each other

The chips and sensors that identify these things also enable them to lsquotalkrsquo to each other or talk via the Internet and thus share and transfer information to the rest of the world The fridge can tell you that a chick-en fi llet is on the verge if its expiry date Your electric car can transfer power back to the grid so that it doesnrsquot become overcharged and if you have a chronic illness you can be medically monitored and cared for via wireless sensor systems We will soon have smart houses smart traffi c and smart health

Technology optimists claim that IoT technology will be the vital missing link enabling us to meet the major challenges associated with climate change energy effi ciency mobility and future health services The new technology will also create new products new services new interfaces and new applications

The visionsOne of todayrsquos future research-

ers Dave Evans of the American IT company Cisco claims that there are about ten billion units connected to the web today and that this will have increased by fi ve times in 2020 lsquoWe will be connecting devices to the Internet that we donrsquot think about very much today Our house asthma inhaler maybe our shoes -- perhaps even treesrsquo he tells the magazine Teknisk Ukeblad

SINTEFrsquos Chief Scientist Ovidiu Vermesan is working on both the Internet of Things and The Internet of Energy as part of several ma-jor EU projects The fi rst of these ambitions involves the electric car and what will be known as the smart house in which products and services providing notifi cations security energy-saving automation telecommunication computers and entertainment will be integrated into a single system with a shared user interface

Vermesan thinks that we have to be visionary if we are to achieve these impossible targets lsquoObvi-ously not everything will be in place straight away But we are develop-ing the technology in Europe right now -- demonstrating testing and developing products -- and by 2020 or 2030 we will be much nearer our targetrsquo

lsquoAnd how will all these products manage to talk to each otherrsquo lsquoThe lsquolanguagersquo will be based on a type of protocol similar to the built-in for-mula that enables our mobile phones to talk using WiFi ISA100 ZigBee or BlueToothrsquo

lsquoBut will everything really be able to talk to everything else Or will equipment in the energy sector only be able to talk to other energy-related equipment Will devices in the health service be able to commu-nicate internally and so on In other

words is IoT more of a concept than something that can become a realityrsquo

lsquoIoT is a generic term for all of the devices and lsquothingsrsquo that can perform a service and that we want to be available on the Internet Several of the things you mention can connect and share information with each other but not all of them want to make the information available -- such as banks Obviously they want to make sure that only you can have access to your personal information via your mobile or computerrsquo

Communication in the health services

In the same way as we put ID chips on products we can attach sensors to ourselves and allow them to communicate via the Web to other objects around us The health ser-vice is currently testing sensors on elderly patients living at home The sensors can monitor pulse and blood pressure The measurements can be read by the patients themselves and communicated onward to a central location via their mobiles This is a simple form of communication that does not involve the Web

In the future however technology optimists envisage a completely dif-ferent fl ow of information in which the IoT will be able to set up not only the system architecture but also the rules governing security and the fl ow of information

PhD Inge Krogstad Senior Ad-viser at Nordic CoE Health Care at the IT company SAS Institute is working on a national network for the Internet of Things in Norway He describes his scenario for the Internet of Things within the health service like this

lsquoIn the morning the lsquosystemrsquo looks up that dayrsquos surgery schedule in the activity calendar and while it is checking the dayrsquos operations it also checks traffi c information on the patientsrsquo routes to the hospital It optimises their routes so that the last patient will be fi nished at 1500 since it is Friday If there is a lot of traffi c and poor driving condi-

tions the system revises the rota sends lsquoextra rotarsquo text messages to another two employees simultane-ously adjusting the time the alarm clocks of that dayrsquos team will go off It streams key data about the dayrsquos fi rst two operations to the three employeesrsquo media devices (car radio smart phone PDA) as they travel to work at the same time as it tells the patients that the schedule has been changed because an employee is sick while it relocates all the re-sources in order to meet the revised schedulersquo

Interpretation models neededFrode Strisland at SINTEF is con-

ducting research into small portable wireless medical sensor systems that patients will be able to operate in their own homes For example many chronically ill patients will benefi t greatly from being able to understand and follow up their own illness together with their doctor Many other elderly and chronically ill patients are grateful for the sensor technology that makes life safer for them -- for example by sending an alarm if a patient has a fall

He thinks that IoT is important and will soon be offering many opportunities within the fi eld of medical follow up However he emphasises that medical information is private and must not fall into the wrong hands Nor will an IoT be of much use if it allows all the informa-tion in the world to fl ow around on the Web without anyone developing good models that can explain and interpret that information

lsquoIt would be like the Meteorologi-cal Institute only having a network of measuring stations but no inter-pretation models that could analyse the situation and make prognosesrsquo he says lsquoIoT will provide many op-portunities for us to medically moni-tor chronic patients in the future but it will be important for us to choose measuring methods that provide sound answers -- and work on devel-oping interpretation models adapted to the patients as individuals each with their own illnesses

The Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Houses Smart Traffi c Smart Health Part 1Most things involve energyOvidiu Vermesan can understand

that the new technology is hard to grasp He is coordinating the EU Internet of Energy (IoE) project and working with 40 European partners on how to make it easier for energy suppliers and consumers to intercon-nect with each othersrsquo equipment

Major changes in the energy sector in recent years mean that the need for smart fl exible energy is increas-ing and that energy production and storage facilities will have to become more coordinated Current methods mean that our electricity is supplied by large commercial en-ergy companies from coal gas and nuclear power stations

So far these centrally controlled systems have not needed to commu-nicate much with the outside world In the future however distributed energy sources provided by mul-tiple suppliers will take over These sources will come from renewable energy such as hydro wind and solar

So according to Vermesan produc-tion will be dictated by access to resources which will in turn depend on solar intensity wind strength or water fl ow For instance energy companies will have access to a lot of wind energy at certain times when users will be able to benefi t by disconnecting from other energy sources and only using wind energy Energy will be a fresh commodity

The new power gridIn the future power grid known

as the Smart Grid every facility and device will have its own IP address so that it can be monitored and con-trolled via the Internet

As consumers we will be among the fi rst proponents of the future grid via the new Advanced Meter-ing Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will be installed in our homes over the next few years This will enable us not only to understand but also control our consumption

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise and land tours to some

selected cities in Spain Italy and France Courtesy of my sister Mila Denton Goldberg and her husband Art of San Diego my wife and I enjoyed this one for free

The much-needed vacation was supposed to free me from much of the virtual digital life that Irsquove lived lately Although at the cruise ship it was almost totally Facebook Twit-ter and email-free it was not totally digital free

I brought with me my iPad iP-hone and Kindle My wife brought her MacBook Air and iPhone Of course built-in to the devices are audio recorders mp3 players video and still camerarecorders and hun-dreds of applications for several uses either off-line and online

I also had accessories to these devices that I acquired from the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and the MACWORLD

For all intents and purposes I still continued to live an electronically led life despite the original intention of getting freed precisely from it

It turned out to be great The still and video cameras built-in to the iPad and iPhone made it easier for me to record memorable events and sites I took photographs and videos of shows and activities around the ship

In Madrid I actually ldquowalked with historyrdquo With photographs and videos to show I visited the fi rst and second residences of Jose

Rizal walked to Las Cortes Espa-ntildeolas (now Congreso de Diputados) where Rizal and his friends lobbied for Philippine rights went and ate at Viva Madrid restaurant where Rizal regularly ate his meals and walked to where ldquoLa Solidaridadrdquo was published

Also within walking distance was Ateneo de Madrid where Rizal studied English and did research Within a stone throw away is the place where the Circulo Hispano is headquartered This is the associa-tion of Filipino students and Spanish

sympathizers I also walked to see the place

where the members of the Propagan-da Movement led by Lopez Jaena regularly met to plot their lobbying efforts

When Jose Rizal delivered an ac-claimed speech honoring Luna and Hidalgo and exhorting the Filipino students to follow in the footsteps of the two honorees it was done in Hotel Ingles I certainly visited the place

The technology gadgets that I brought with the corresponding apps have indeed proven useful in record-ing and storing historical memories for easy retrieval for me other par-ties and even the next generation

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

For more information please call Melanie Dulfo of the Philippine Forum at 718-565-8862 or email at mdulfophilippineforumorg

The Philippine Forum is a New York City-based not-for-profi t organization that provides direct services training and advocacy to Filipinos and people of Filipino heritage in the United States It is also a prime mover in coalitions with other immigrant groups in advocating for immigration reform

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

lsquoFather of Litson Manokrsquo shares success story

Mayor Sandy Javier delivers his speech during the recent gathering of business leaders in Tacloban City copy2012 SARWELL Q MENIANO Leyte Samar Daily Express

Mayor Sandy Javier gives back his blessings to his

hometownLeyte Samar Daily Express |

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

Quotation of the Week ldquoTo be trusted is a greater compliment than to be lovedrdquo George Macdonald

A Filipino Prophet and Colonial Mentality

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

BIGAY-BAWING PASIYA

Nakababahala ang nagaganap sa ating bayan

Ang ilang mahistrado ay tatangkaing ipatanggal

Dahil sa bigay-bawing desisyong kinasasangkutan

Pasiyang maging lungsod yaong labing-anim na bayan

Ang mga mamamayan ay nawawalan ng tiwala

Hinggil sa inilabas na kahatulang sala-sala

Ang Konstitusyon ng bansa ay lantarang sinisira

Kodigong dapat sundirsquoy tahasang binabale-wala

Ang Kataas-taasang Hukuman ang huling dulugan

Ng mga usaping ang hanap ay pawang kawastuan

At sa muling paghaharap ay tinutulan na naman

Na ang kahuli-hulihan ay pagsang-ayong tuluyan

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

ldquoBy offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be re-fused and the conversion of many sinners will be obtainedrdquo

ldquoIt is required that all undertake to widely spread and make known this devotion to the Holy Face of Jesusrdquo

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

The Philippine Star | MANILA Philip-pines 752012 - Visiting Queen Sofia of Spain expressed her governmentrsquos desire to ldquoreintroduce and reintegraterdquo the Spanish language in the Philippine educational cur-riculum ldquoI wish to emphasize the support we gave to the educational sector and particu-larly the efforts of the Department of Educa-tion for successfully making into reality the reintroduction of Spanish language in the public educational systemrdquo the queen said during the toast at the state banquet President Aquino hosted in her honor at Malacantildeang Tuesday evening

ldquoSince the time of the galleon of Manila the Spanish language arrived in the Philip-pines as a promising tool for work and development for the Filipino peoplerdquo the queen said

She said the Spanish language not only highlights the two countriesrsquo rich cultural heritage but also ldquoopens up opportunities to secure the well-being of future generations of Filipinos in a globalized worldrdquo

Jesus Gracia Spainrsquos secretary of state for international development told The STAR during the queenrsquos visit to Legazpi City yesterday that they want more Filipinos to speak Spanish to understand the roots of their culture better

ldquoWe are happy to see the Philippines progressing as we reminisce 350 years of our common history and we are proud of our common friendshiprdquo Gracia said

But presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said the Spanish language cannot be taught in all public schools due to lack of teachers

ldquoIt is taught in selected public high schools We have limitations right now We donrsquot have adequate teachers At the moment we cannot make the teaching of Spanish mandatoryrdquo Lacierda said

He said only 64 of the 7000 secondary schools nationwide are offering Spanish as an elective for third and fourth year students

ldquoThis is in close coordination with the Instituto Cervantesrdquo he said

ldquoItrsquos part of our cultural heritage Itrsquos nice to learn a foreign language Itrsquos always an advantage to learn a foreign language But the problem is the mechanics and also the practicality of having sufficient teachersrdquo he added

More employment opportunitiesSenate committee on education arts and

culture chairman Sen Edgardo Angara said reintroducing the Spanish language in schools will not only strengthen bilateral relations with Spain but also help prepare students for a possible career in tourism business process outsourcing and other related sectors

Angara said Spanish language courses should be integrated in arts livelihood and

Queen Sofia wants Spanish back in Phl public schools

sports subjects at the 11th and 12th grades under the K+12 program

ldquoIf you speak Spanish you can speak to almost one-third of the world If you speak Mandarin English and Spanish you talk practically to the entire world Thatrsquos how valuable language is in these modern timesrdquo Angara said

ldquoThe trend of investment and tourism of Latin America is towards Asia We ought to catch that wave because now we have a natural destinationrdquo he added

Angara noted that the Spanish govern-ment through the Agencia Espantildeola de Cooperacion Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID) or the Spanish Agency for Interna-tional Development and Cooperation and the Instituto Cervantes has been sponsoring the training of teachers of the Spanish language in public schools starting with the first batch of 100 teachers who have completed an intensive summer training last year

P-Noy hails Phl-Spain tiesAquino cited the bilateral relations

between the Philippines and Spain saying both countries ldquostand shoulder-to-shoulder in pursuing the ultimate goals of both our nations ndash of fulfilling the vast potential of our peoplesrdquo

ldquoAnd we are working together ndash whether in trade sports defense or in tourism ndash in all the vital spheres of human endeavorrdquo Aquino said

He said bilateral trade with Spain has been steadily increasing with 2011 trade figures pegged at $3296 million

He said Spain is also a partner in improv-ing the lives of Filipinos through their of-ficial development assistance and humanitar-ian programs

The President said the visit of Queen Sofia was ldquoa new history being maderdquo that high-lighted ldquoa partnership between two nations with shared democratic ideals of friendship based not on nostalgia but a principled com-mitment to the positive strength that can be derived from divergent histories a shared and affectionate cultural affinityrdquo

P124-M grantThe Department of Social Welfare and De-

velopment (DSWD) recently received P124 million in grants from the Spanish govern-ment for the implementation of the agencyrsquos community development projects in far-flung areas in the country

Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman said AECID has extended a new grant to the DSWD for the implementation of the proj-ect ldquoPoder y Prosperidad de la Comunidad 7rdquo particularly in the Caraga region

Soliman said the AECID grant will be used for the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Sta Josefa Agusan del Sur and Tubajon towns in the provinces of Dinagat Islands and Surigao del Sur

The Caraga region has 148516 4Ps beneficiaries

The AECID has implemented projects ranging from local governance to disaster prevention rural development environment education health and social services in the country

Queen visits BicolAlbay Gov Joey Salceda and officials of

the provincial government welcomed Queen Sophia and her delegation including Spanish Ambassador Pedro Domecq and Vice Min-ister of International Cooperation and Latin America Gracia at the Legazpi City airport at around 840 am yesterday

After a short program at the airport the queen motored to Albay Pentildearanda Park where she and Salceda unveiled the life-size statue of the first Spanish governor of Albay from 1834 to 1843 Jose Ma Pentildearanda

The queen then visited the Camalig North Central School and evacuation center

She also inspected the newly installed facilities including dialysis and x-ray machines at the Josefina Belmonte Duran Memorial District Hospital in Ligao City

She also attended a briefing on the P110-million Legazpi landfill project funded by AECID at the Climate Change Academy at the Bicol University Gonzalo Serrano AE-CID program officer in the Philippines said Spain had released a total of P16 billion or P400 million a year since 2008 to Albay

The AECID-funded constructions in Albay include the P110-million sanitary landfill in Legazpi City four evacuation buildings con-vertible into classrooms in Camalig North Central School in Camalig town Travesia Central School in Guinobatan town Ligao West Central Elementary School in Ligao City and an evacuation center in Daraga town Salceda said AECID was also among the top donors after super typhoon ldquoRemingrdquo devastated Albay in 2006 as well in efforts to make the province a model in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation

Tight security for Zamboanga visitIn Zamboanga City police and the military

have secured all the places that Queen Sofia will visit today

Brig Gen Eugene Clemen deputy chief for West Mindanao Command (Westmin-com) said they have not monitored any threat or plot to disrupt the visit of the queen

MIS-LABELED PEOPLE

The buzz was about the impeachment wherever I went

The unprecedented convic-tion of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court the fi rst in our history and unheard of in any democratic country in recent years is a loud declara-tion to the worldnotdagger that many Filipinos will no longer accept passively the label that we are the corrupt man of Asia

By simply making honesty the highest measure of leader-ship and good citizenship we can gain global trust open the fl oodgates of investments and re-brandnotdagger the Philippines as the new wonder economy of Asia

The Filipino brand will mean top quality ethical products good busi-ness climate unmatched hospitality happy and hard-working people and strong moral governance

Business responds positively to transparency and accountability

Only after two years with an hon-est President the Philippine stock market is the most stable in the re-gion our 64 GDP in the last quarter was second only to China We are one notch belownotdagger investment grade after several credit upgrades While the dark clouds of recession and

depression hover over Europe and America the light is shining through our emerging landscape

Defi nitely the grass is getting greener and the sky is becoming bluer in the Philippines

CHANGING MINDSETS

sbquoAumlregThis radical optimism towards the homeland after years of self-exile and self-bashing pervaded the air of rejoicing at the successful GK Hope Ball (June 2) and the Inde-pendence Day parade (June 3) at the Big Apple where Gawad Kalinga volunteers formed the fi rst human marching fl ag along Madison Ave It was the same spirit that energised the GK Global Summit 2012 in To-ronto the following week (June 8-9) Pride was no longer in the singular achievement of Manny Pacquiao or Jessica Sanchez or indignation over their loss but in every Filipino hero participating in nation-building

Gawad Kalinga by building over 2000 communities through the sweat and tears of over a million volunteers from various sectors has shown that the Filipino is now in the game to win not just a perennial spectator or fan

The nobility ofnotdagger sacrifi ce for country in the GK way of ldquopadugordquo - bleeding for the cause - is bringing out what is honorable in our people

GK is a mind-changerFrom a country-basher the Filipino

learns to be a nation-builderFrom a love of power and money

he learns the greater love for the poor and his country

Our greatest challenge is for more Filipinos to learn that integrity is more powerful than money

CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS

ldquoThe result of the impeachment conducted through a true democratic process gained for us the admiration of the global community President Aquinorsquos visit next week to meet President Obama is causing excite-ment in DCrdquo This was the message to us of Philippine Ambassador to

the United States Joey Cuisia at our table conversation as he himself could not contain his amazement at the size of the crowd at the GK Hope Ball many of them doctors and nurses more eager to help the country now that there is clear proof of decency in governance

Christopher Thornley the Cana-dian Ambassador to the Philippines was no less enthusiastic in declaring his optimism the following week at the GK Global Summit in Toronto ldquoI have great affection for the Philip-pines and a big admiration for GK - they bring out the best in peoplerdquo was his sincere comment from a fi rst hand experience as a volunteer with his 11 year old son in the Telus Sunlife and Manulife GK villages in Metro Manila

UNDERVALUED COUNTRY

At the round-table meeting he or-ganised with a dozen Canadian cor-porations and institutions - notably

Sunlife Blackberry(RIM) Bombar-dier SNC- Lavalin York University - the mood was upbeat from the top executives present Their comments were mostly encouraging

ldquoThe Philippines is the underval-ued economy of Asiardquo

ldquoThe effort of the present Philip-pine government to curb corruption will attract more Canadian inves-torsrdquo

ldquoIts more viable to put up a busi-ness hub for Asia in Manila where the cost of living is lower compe-tent executives and skilled workers are available and everyone speaks Englishrdquo

ldquoFilipinos are outstanding citizens in Canada - they are our biggest immigrants in the last two years surpassing the Chinese and the Indiansrdquo

ldquoNow Canada has to compete with other countries to attract the most qualifi ed Filipinos to comerdquo

Not to fault Canada but the bright-est and the best from the Philippines are being harvested by rich coun-tries that did not spend to raise and educate them It would be wise that they invest not just in business in the Philippines but also in the education of our poor if they see Filipinos as their fi rst choice for future immi-grants

Our country is a gold-mine of human treasures but many are still covered with dirt in the neglected slums and in the abandoned coun-tryside waiting to be discovered and polishednotdagger for their true value to come out

A SEASON OF HOPE

This is my fi rst visit to North America in nearly half a century where the mood everywhere I went both among Filipinos and foreigners alike is positive and hopeful about our often battered country not only by natural calamities but by bashing from Filipinos themselves

It is an astounding paradigm shift to those raised with a colonial

Synopsis

When George Madrid the affable young priest arrived at the town of Santa Lucia he welcomed the idea of working with the sacadas impoverished farm workers toil-ing in the rice paddies of a tropical island paradise Born and bred a city boy and knowing little of rural life the newly-ordained cleric encounters widespread suffering among the poor exploited powerless peasantry -- simple folks who cower in fear of the dictatorial regimersquos abusive mili-tary forces and who are exploited by affl uent self-serving land-owners and radicalized by Maoist-inspired insurgents

In the chaos following a village-wide massacre Father George feels compelled to join the underground insurgency movement He eventu-ally rises to the top echelons of the Communist Party of the Philip-pines Father George Madrid now Kumander Gusi third in command of the dreaded New Peoplersquos Army becomes the main target of a nation-wide manhunt

At every turn the priest turned rebel is haunted by his decision Was

defecting the right thing to do Was he truly liberating the poor and the oppressed Or was he simply living the romanticized life of a revolution-ary

Fourteen years of living as a fugitive and enduring hundreds of skirmishes Kumander Gusi is still searching for answers when the charismatic former senator Benigno ldquoNinoyrdquo Aquino returning from exile in the United States is brutally gunned down at the Manila Interna-tional Airport

When ldquoPeople Powerrdquo mass protests on February 22-25 1986 plunge the Philippines into the raging throes of a populist revolu-tion the cleric turned communist commander fi nds himself laboring with friends and enemies to steer their beloved country through a historically turbulent and perilously unpredictable course

Can he avert a national catastro-phe Will he fi nally fi nd redemption for himself

This historical novel is dedicated to the thousands who lost their lives during the dark nights of Martial Law in the Philippines (1972-1986)

And to Benigno Ninoy Aquino and Redemptorist priest Father Rudy Romano

Prologue

Sunday August 21 1983 Manila International Airporthellip

The pilots of China Airline fl ight 813 switched gears The tower had cleared them for touch down A large crowd standing in the af-ternoon sun to welcome Benigno Ninoy Aquino the exiled former Senator and charismatic opposition leader of the Marcos dictatorship are cordoned off by police and air-port security but continue to wave in eager anticipation

As the plane taxis passengers aboard the jumbo jet are told not to disembark until further instruc-tion When the plane stops three uniformed and armed government soldiers board the aircraft They approach and encircle Aquino He

appears calm and smiling but be-comes slightly apprehensive as he is ominously escorted out of the plane through the rear door The exit door is blocked and no one gets a clear view of Aquino as he descends to the tarmac

Then a barrage of gunshots are heard The senator slumps to the ground struck in the head Two soldiers quickly haul Aquino into a van which speeds away

The priest stares at the TV screen in the hospital lobby for the longest time Grainy video clips of the outra-geous assassination is replayed over and over again as journalists report the news to a stunned nation of 52 million and commentators attempt to explain the senseless killing

Father George Madrid briefl y looks at the crowd milling around the hospital foyer He picks up his crutches not quite certain where he was headed to or what he was going to do next

Philippine Independence Day parade in Madison Avenue in New York

Tony Meloto at the Gawad Kalinga Global Summit in Toron-to Canada

By Zena Sultana Babao

Mind and body work together ndash once the mind improves or deteriorates the body does too and vice versa The Romans of old were right when they said ldquomens sana en corpore sanordquo which in English means ldquoa sound mind in a sound bodyrdquo

A study about aging well was conducted by the Harvard Medi-cal School wherein over 800 men and women were closely followed from their teen years until they were in their 80rsquos Over the years these people were given tests physically examined by doctors and inter-viewed by psychiatrists The fi nd-ings of the doctors and psychiatrists were then evaluated

The study was a medical rarity because it examined the lives of the well not the sick Then Parade magazine reported the fi ndings after interviewing the studyrsquos director A major fi nding is that good genes do not account for better aging Neither did income The study disputed the assumption that aging results in decay

Advancing age may impair some motor skills but maturity can make people even sharper if your know what to do If maturity can make people sharper then the dreaded onslaught of Alzheimerrsquos could be kept at bay

Our memory fades and itrsquos normal and we call that lapse ldquosenior mo-mentsrdquo What we need to know is how to keep our minds sharp Here are some recommendations to do that

LIVE A FULL HEART Look towards the future Anticipate plan and hope Have a sense of gratitude forgiveness and optimism See the glass as half-full instead of half-empty Practice empathy Step into someone elsersquos shoes and see how others feel

SAY NO TO NICOTINE Those who quit the habit before they are 50 are as healthy as those who never smoked Too much nicotine can re-sult in premature aging even death

LEARN TO ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES Cope with stress Make lemonade out of lemons Keep your sense of humor You will enjoy life better if you can take the ups and downs of life

KEEP YOUR WEIGHT DOWN Obesity leads to all kinds of dis-eases like diabetes high blood pressure and Alzheimerrsquos Obesity is the number one health problem in America today

WORK ON HAVING A STRONG MARRIAGE A good marriage con-tributes to a long and healthy life (However if you are married to a habitual womanizer who constantly puts you down and he is ashamed of you no matter how good you are and how good you look life is hell)

NEVER STOP LEARNING People who continue to learn have a longer lease in life No matter how old you are itrsquos never too late to learn more Reading and public speaking keep you mentally sharp It is said that your most productive years are when you are no longer young

BOOST YOUR ENERGY LEV-EL In todayrsquos fast-paced world many of us are juggling so many activities that we end up totally worn

out and burned out and energy level plummets down to zero Without energy our body grinds down to a halt

What we need is to recharge our body to maintain a high level of en-ergy By recharging we can be sure that our body functions optimally Here are some simple things we can do to boost our energy level

STABILIZE OUR BLOOD SUG-AR Quick energy snacks like candy bars and soda may boost energy but only temporarily They leave us more tired than energetic because refi ned sugars are digested quickly and lead to a rapid rise in our blood sugar level Itrsquos much better to eat slow-energy food like fi sh chicken eggs and turkey Non-starchy veg-etables like broccoli and caulifl ower and fi ber-rich food like berries and apples are good sources of energy

KEEP YOUR MOOD UP High-energy people are enthusiastic about what they so If you have waning energy have frequent down days or suffer serious bouts of depression it would be best to consult a doctor

INCREASE ENERGY-BOOST-ING ACTIVITIES Physical activity like exercise builds and strengthens our muscles If we are in shape we are more energetic and are better able to handle stress If strenuous exercise is not possible even a 20-minute walk three times a week will be benefi cial The more regular and intense our exercise is ndash the better the benefi ts

LEARN TO UNWIND Stress can drain us Work commuting and family frustrations are the most com-mon causes of stress Lifersquos stresses activate a broad range of hormonal and immune responses These can lead to aches and pains and diseases we donrsquot want to acquire

To unwind we need good stress-reducing activities like yoga tai chi guided imagery or visualization Qi Gong (a Chinese practice that uses movement to promote energy) and other forms of physical and mental exercise Reading good books especially the Bible is a great way to unwind

GET ENOUGH SLEEP Nothing undermines our energy more than lack of sleep If we are so sleepy we could not function or think normally Although each one of us has different sleep needs and the amount vary from person to person we can safely say that those chroni-cally tired people are those who are sleep deprived

If you are like me who cannot sleep after drinking a cup of coffee in the afternoon drink something soothing like warm milk instead Listening to soft mellow music or reading good books let me sleep I donrsquot know about you but counting sheep doesnrsquot work for me -- zena-sultanahotmailcom

SAN DIEGO June 27 2012 ndash As part of its 2012 Environmental Champions Initiative San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) today announced that it will contribute $1 million to lo-cal environmental non-profit organiza-tions in San Diego County and south Orange County

SDGampE is welcoming proposals from non-profit environmental organi-zations for pro-grams that en-gage and educate young people in the commu-nity as stewards of the environ-ment in the areas of ecosystem awareness en-vironmental conservation and energy and water efficiency

Winning organizations can receive up to $25000 for individual projects and up to $50000 for collaborative projects with partner environmental non-profit organizations This initiative is limited to environmental education and community engagement programs administered in SDGampErsquos territory

ldquoThe San Diego region is home to hundreds of non-profit organizations whose programs engage kids and communities in our local environment SDGampE is proud to partner with many of these non-profits in support of our shared commitment to the environ-

ment and environmental steward-shiprdquo said Pedro Villegas director of community relations for SDGampE ldquoThrough support of our partner non-profit organizations we also seek to provide underserved communities with access to environmental education and engagement programs access that may not be available otherwiserdquo

New Law Increases Public Access to Digital Criminal

Case Information San Diego County District At-

torney Bonnie M Dumanis an-nounced today that Assembly Bill 2222 sponsored by the District Attorneyrsquos Office and authored by Assemblyman Marty Block has passed the California State Senate by a unanimous vote AB 2222 would allow prosecutors in the state to use electronically-stored information stored in their case management databases to run queries and obtain valuable information in response to public records act requests AB 2222 now goes to Governor Jerry

Brown for his signatureldquoOur office strives for government

transparency but current laws are lagging behind technology when it comes to electronic records AB 2222 updates those laws allowing us to respond to the many Public Re-cords Act (PRA) requests we receive every year more efficiently while still complying with the statutes that protect victims and restrict informa-tion like an individualrsquos criminal historyrdquo said Dumanis

Increasingly District Attorneys across California are converting to paperless case files and paperless record keeping Many of those case management systems contain a large amount of detail about a case Cur-

DA-Sponsored Transparency Bill Gets Unanimous Approval from State Senate

rently Public Records Act requests can potentially require the disclosure of information that other statutes currently prohibit

The end result of this conflict is lawsuits for failure to disclose information required by the PRA the expenditure of resources for inefficient searches for information which could be avoided through the use of the electronic case manage-ment system and the appearance of secrecy rather than transparency

AB 2222 amends Penal Code Section 13300 to allow prosecutors to use their electronic case manage-ment databases to run queries and obtain the information that may be disclosed under the California Public Records Act

ldquoWe are sincere in our effort to use our electronic case management system to respond to public records requests and AB 2222 will allow us to do this in a cost-efficient way while complying with current lawrdquo Dumanis said

SB 1264 adds university and college athletic coaches to

mandated reporters list

SACRAMENTO CA (June 26 2012) - California State Assembly Committee on Public Safety today unanimously approved State Senator Juan Vargasrsquo (D-Chula Vista) Senate Bill 1264 which would add all levels of university coaching staff to the list of mandated reporters The bill will next be heard in the Assembly Appropria-tions Com-mittee

ldquoOur childrenrsquos safety must always come firstrdquo said Senator Vargas ldquoToday we are one step closer to making University coaches of every level accountable for reporting sexual abuse and ensuring that no one will get away with protecting their team over the innocence of a childrdquo

SB 1264 which would add any athletic coach including an assistant coach or a graduate assistant involved in coaching at public or private post-secondary institutions to the existing list of mandated reporters as speci-fied in the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act This bill is a neces-sary step in closing the loophole in the current structure of the mandated reporter requirements in order to

ensure that our children are protected and stems from Senator Vargasrsquo read of the federal Grand Jury report in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case at Penn State University

About the Sandusky CaseAt the end of 2011 prosecutors

filed criminal charges against Jerry Sandusky the assistant football coach at Penn State for nearly fifteen years for alleged sexual abuse charges In the case against Sandusky the Grand Jury found that there had been at least

eight victims of sexual assaults throughout his career at Penn State The former head coach of the Penn State football team Joe Pa-

terno allegedly knew of instances of sexual abuse but failed to report these directly to Child Welfare Services Instead he reported to a supervisor who also failed to report to Child Welfare Services

SDGampE Expects to Meet Summer Pow-er Supply Demand

Sunrise Powerlink Conservation Demand-Response Programs will be Key in Helping Local Electric

Grid When Needed

SAN DIEGO June 14 2012 ndash Sum-mer typically means warmer weather and increased air conditioning use This summer San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) is reminding customers that while adequate electricity sup-plies are lined up to meet customersrsquo energy needs conservation and demand response will still be vital during extremely hot weather or an unplanned power plant outage or transmission line emergency

ldquoSDGampE has been working hard to plan for the summer to ensure that customersrsquo summer electricity needs are metrdquo said Jessie J Knight Jr SDGampErsquos chairman and chief executive officer ldquoWhen the Sunrise Powerlink is energized this will help increase the local power supply and improve the situation in San Diego by increasing the amount of imports into the regionrdquo

Despite having adequate electric re-sources conditions are subject to change due to unexpected situations that may be out of our control High air condi-tioning use during summer heat waves or electric transmission emergencies can have severe impacts on SDGampErsquos ability to deliver power ldquoSouthern California faces a challenging electrical resource situation this summer because the regionrsquos largest power plant the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station will remain offline for most of the summerrdquo added Michael R Niggli SDGampErsquos president and chief operating officer ldquoIf we have a lengthy heat wave we may have to call on customers to reduce their energy use As a result SDGampE is encouraging customers to make energy conservation a habitrdquo

The California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO) the agency responsible for managing the bulk of the statersquos power grid issued its 2012 Sum-mer Assessment confirming adequate supplies for most of California Over 283 megawatts (MW) of new generation resources were added to the ISO grid in the second half of 2011 with an esti-mated 926 MW coming on line by July 1 2012 This will primarily be renew-able generation such as solar and wind

The ISO is also increasing demand response and conservation awareness including bringing back the Flex Alerts public awareness campaign alerting customers when to conserve electricity

ldquoIf the ISO issues a Flex Alert we

nity to submit their applica-tions until July 27 Pref-erence will be given to environmental programs that target one or more of the following areas natural resource conservation

and protection habitat preservation and restoration energy efficiency and wasterecycling SDGampE plans to an-nounce the winners in September

SDGampE is a regulated public utility that provides safe and reliable energy service to 34 million consumers through 14 million electric meters and more than 850000 natural gas meters in San Diego and southern Orange counties The utilityrsquos area spans 4100 square miles SDGampE is committed to creating ways to help our custom-ers save energy and money every day SDGampE is a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (NYSE SRE) a Fortune 500 energy services holding company based in San Diego

My Positive Vision for the

PhilippinesBy Cesar D Candari

MDrsquo61 FCAP Emeritus

AS I WRITE this article today the Corona Impeachment Trial ended and the Scarborough Shoal confl ict still covered incessantly the media as a major signifi cant issue a crisis in the south China Sea which to me is frightening sign of what is going to happen Wrong ideas are still in the minds of our intellectuals in the Philippines

Government is a kleptocracy and a family dynasty The nepotism and cronyism that infest the Philippines public life will stay Corruption will persist for the upper economic and political classes in the Philippines It is rampant in these socio-economic and political strata The oligarchic classes are a status quo in Philippine Society-- based on a monopolistic access to material resources and po-litical power Quo Vadis Philippines

As the case of election sabotage against GM Arroyo shall be on trial soon (when is soon) a huge question is how it will end The darkest hour in our judicial history apparently was resolved We have been dragged to the opposite side of delicadeza of honor of integrity I pray we have crossed that bridge and rebuild our dignity from the debris A positive point may be is the fact that we have seen its ugliness its nauseating effect and everything else that doesnrsquot nurture life It was

as though what people suspected were affi rmed beyond the shadow of a doubt ndash that Rene Corona was dirty

The territorial squabbles with China are a problem American bases were kicked out and see what is happening now - the Spratleys- Chinesersquos recent incursion in the Scarborough Shoal - surely to be taken over by China The US doesnrsquot care

Why Filipino nationalists kicked out the American bases Did we improve in many things because we kicked them out Absolutely no

For tomorrow on a positive note President Aquino is determined to turn the corner by instituting genuine wide-ranging mean-ingful reform and acting on its belief that good governance is the bedrock of equitable progress

The President Noynoy Aquino said he is now tackling the problem of graft and corruption He said ldquoIt is with this principle in mind that we have allocated unprecedented sums to alleviate extreme poverty and are concen-trating on providing more opportunities for employ-mentrdquo

There are some signs that the country ndash with its young population of nearly 100 millions people the worldrsquos 12th largest ndash has turned a corner There are three reasons to be hopeful if not yet exactly cheerful

bull First the Philippines after years of indebtedness is a net credi-tor

Overseas remittances from the roughly 8 millions Filipinos work-ing abroad have steadily added to foreign exchange reserves At nearly $80 billions these are higher than the external debt Revenues from back offi ce businesses have quin-

tupled over six years from $200 to $11 Billions

bull Second the country is getting its fi scal house in order The defi cit has narrowed from a worry-ing 5-6 per cent a decade ago to a manageable 2 per cent

bull Third the political situ-ation is vastly improved Benigno ldquoNoynoyrdquo Aquino elected president in 2010 has made a creditable start For one his government has sent out a strong message that it will not tolerate corruption ldquoThy will be

donerdquo

The Philippines in my view is

not a hopeless case The perennial question - Will it degenerate into a greater social political and eco-nomic tragedy

The impeachment of Corona ended He was found guilty

Indeed the truth prevailed This is a resounding impact to all Fili-pinos sending a message loud and clear that there must be accountabil-ity and transparency in our leaders in government

Social entre-preneurship

The View From Taft Florenz C Tugas BusinessWorld Online

The Department of Tour-ism recently launched its campaign on 100

and more reasons why it is more fun in the Philippines This has made Filipinos ev-erywhere feel more proud of their country and has created a way of enticing foreigners to come to the Philippines

This is especially good for the economy but if we want to be stra-tegic about creating jobs to alleviate poverty we have to think beyond the obvious

Aside from targeting foreign tour-ists I propose that we redirect our efforts to ensure that Filipinos stay in the Philippines not because of blind faith nationalism or patrio-tism but because of the many great

Com men tary tary things this country has to offer

I AM PROPOSING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND IN-NOVATION a more sustainable and results-oriented initiative Rather than seek employment and depend largely on imports for the goods and services we need daily we can create businesses that cater to these needs and consequently provide employment

What we are experiencing now can be attributed partly to how we have been conditioned -- that right after graduation we should seek employ-ment Very often the big dream is to land a job in a multinational company

This is good donrsquot get me wrong But this opportunity is usually available only to the elite whom the hiring criteria favor The unemploy-ment fi gures tell us that most of our graduates have not yet realized their dreams Now is the best time for academe to advocate that starting a business is an option for the more than 500000 students who graduate yearly

Early this year I had the oppor-tunity to visit the Enchanted Farm of Gawad Kalinga (GK) in Angat Bulacan The Farm is GKrsquos platform to follow through what it had started which is building homes for the com-munity Through the Farm GK is providing livelihood to the community

During that visit I was inspired by how the community had been structured Social entrepreneurs enable their adopted community to contribute to the huge task of nation-building These social entrepreneurs are college students fresh college graduates and those who used to be employed but who later decided to

pursue social entrepreneurship They created jobs for the community by using raw materials sourced from the Farm

In the Farm I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of interns from other Asian countries Europe and the Americas They are there to learn not only about our culture but also (and more importantly) about the social enterprise platform of the Farm They see much hope for the Philippines Yes they believe that Philippines has the potential to grow and become a developed economy

Quite ironic isnrsquot it They see it but we do not As Tony Meloto the man behind GK puts it Is it always like this That we Filipinos are the last to realize that being a Filipino is a blessing and that having the Philip-pines as our home is among the best gifts from God

His rhetorical questions made me realize that God had not made a mistake when He made us Filipinos The best time to truly be a Filipino is now We have to go back to the basics and appreciate that we are a nation with rich and vast natural resources including some fl ora and fauna that can be found only in our country We have to leverage on this to start our social enterprises that

will pro-vide jobs to the com-munity

The response of the students faculty and admin-istration of the Ramon

V Del Rosario College of Business has been overwhelming In fact at the start of De La Sallersquos second centennial we will push for a year-long program of sustainable aware-ness and involvement in the Farm putting up our own social enterprise in and for the community

Florenz C Tugas is the External Affairs Director of the Ramon V Del Rosario College of Business of De La Salle University A full-time faculty member of the Accountancy Department he specializes in Audit-ing and Assurance and Management of Information Technology courses He can be reached at fl orenztugasdlsueduph The views expressed above are the authorrsquos and do not necessarily refl ect the offi cial posi-tion of De La Salle University its faculty and its administrators

I canrsquot believe that itrsquos actu-ally time for my son to get

his learners permit

Herersquos a way to start feeling a bit older your child turns old enough for his learnerrsquos permithellipand wants one now Today Right now pop Please Can I Huh Can I have one Please pop Please can I get my learners permit Can I Huh Pop can I

Well I supposehellip Okay yes He can get his learners permit That means downloading the handbook for him to study plus practice tests and more It also means at least for

residents of California a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicle where you get a copy of application form DL 44 (yes you have to go get one) Why canrsquot it be downloaded from the DMV website you ask Well donrsquot bother It canrsquot so go get it

Here are the steps necessary to take for a learners permit

bullBe at least 15 frac12 but under 18 years of age

bullVisit a DMV offi ce (make an Ap-pointment online for faster service)

Complete and submit an original application form DL 44 (Only an original DL 44 form will be accept-ed Copies obtained by photocopy-ing faxing or other methods will not be accepted)

Provide your social security number on the DL 44 It will be verifi ed with the Social Security Administration while you are in the offi ce

Have both of your parentsrsquo or guardiansrsquo signatures on the DL 44 application form

NOTE When you sign your ap-plication for an instruction permitdriver license you agree to submit to a chemical test to determine the al-cohol or drug content of your blood when required by a peace offi cer If you refuse to sign this statement on your driver license application DMV will not issue a permit or license

bullGive a thumb print bullHave your picture taken bullBring your original birth certifi -

cate or a certifi ed copy If you are not a US-born citizen you must provide proof that you are a legal US resident

bullProvide your full legal name bullSubmit the proper form(s) for

driver education andor driver train-ing classes (See below for details)

bullPay the application fee (This fee entitles you to three exams of any

type within the 12-month period and pays for both the permit and the driver license If all requirements are not met within the 12-month period the application becomes void and all steps must be completed again)

bullPass a vision exam bullPass a traffi c laws and sign test

You must get at least 38 questions right out of 46 You will have 3 chances to take the test but if you fail a test you must wait 7 days be-fore taking the test again If you fail the test all 3 times you must start over by fi lling out a new DL 44

If you are between 15 frac12 and 17 frac12 years of age you will need to provide proof that you

bullCompleted driver educationor bullCompleted driver education and

driver training or bullEnrolled and participating in an

approved integrated driver educa-tiondriver training program

An out-of-state driving instruction-al permit is not acceptable proof of driver education and driver training

As soon as you pass your written test you will be issued a permit

A parent guardian spouse or adult 25 years of age or older who has a valid California driver license must be with you when you drive He or she must sit in the front seat in order to take control of the vehicle if necessary It is illegal for you to drive alone at any time For a period of 12 months you may not transport passengers under age 20 unless you are accompanied by a parent guard-ian instructor or licensed driver over the age of 25 and you may not drive between 11 pm and 5 am

It was a bit different when I got my learners permit Irsquom not sure if that was because the laws were different then or because I received mine in Florida and not California When it was time to get my permit a friend

took me to the Florida DMV offi ce in Ft Lauderdale I showed them my birth certifi cate paid a small fee and got the piece of paper that said I could start driving with a grownup I didnrsquot even have to attend a driverrsquos ed program

We drove home and I walked in the door and announced to my parents that I now had my learners permit and would appreciate any opportunity to drive with them They went a bit pale but said okay And thatrsquos when I started driving

It obviously wonrsquot be that way with my son but what the heck hersquoll learn to be a good defensive driver At least thatrsquos the plan Irsquoll keep you up to datehellipwish me luck

Maria a Filipino citizen came to me for assistance regarding her daughterrsquos legal residence status Maria her husband their daughter and their son came to the United States on a tourist visa in 2001 At the time Mariarsquos daughter was only seven years old while Mariarsquos son was twelve years old They never left the United States Mariarsquos son married a US citizen and became a US citizen As soon as he turned 21 he petitioned for Maria and her husband who are now legal perma-nent residents of the United States Mariarsquos daughter remains to be undocumented She completed high school but could not get into San Diego Community College because she does not have any legal status She could not work either because she does not have any employ-ment permit I could not offer her a solution at the time because therersquos none Although she is dating a US citizen she was not ready to tie the knot

At least 65000 undocumented immigrant youth graduate from high schools every year and many of them struggle to attend institutes of higher education and military President Obama at last came through with a bold memorandum on June 15 2012 through the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano stating that young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own will be considered for relief from deportation known as ldquoDeferred Actionrdquo Pursuant to Sec-retary Napolitanorsquos June 15 2012 memorandum in order to be eligible for deferred action the foreign national must

Have come to the United States under the age of sixteen

Have continuously resided in the United States for at least fi ve years preceding the date of the memoran-dum (June 15 2012) and are present in the United States on the date of the memorandum

Currently be in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education de-velopment (GED) certifi cate or are

honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States

Have not been convicted of felony offense a signifi cant misdemeanor offense multiple misdemeanor of-fenses or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety

Not above the age of thirty (30)Applicants must also complete

a background check and for those individuals who make a request to USCIS and are not subject to a fi nal order of removal must be 15 years old or older

Deferred action is a discretion-ary determination to defer removal action of an individual as an act of prosecutorial Deferred action does not confer lawful status upon an individual However he or she will be eligible to receive employment authorization for the period of de-ferred action provided he or she can demonstrate ldquoan economic necessity for employmentrdquo Deferred action can be terminated at any time at the agencyrsquos discretion

Individuals who are not in removal proceedings or who are subject to a fi nal order of removal will need to submit a request for a review of their case and supporting evidence to US Citizenship and Immigra-tion Services (USCIS) Individuals may request deferred action if they meet the eligibility criteria Mariarsquos daughter can apply for deferred ac-tion and if approved will be eligible to get an employment authorization I believe that she is eligible for the issuance of social security number and a driverrsquos license

In the coming weeks USCIS will outline and announce the procedures by which individuals can engage in this process At this time those who are eligible for deferred action but NOT in removal proceedings should NOT apply affi rmatively but wait for mid-August when USCIS and ICE will begin accepting ap-plications Those who are facing imminent removal from the United States and who believe they can demonstrate that they satisfy the eli-gibility criteria should immediately contact Law Enforcement Support Centerrsquos hotline at 1-855-448-6903

ScienceDaily (June 26 2012) mdash Monday morning and yoursquore in a hurry On your way out you check your pockets Money Mobile Where are the car keys A quick text message and the keys let you know that they are under the papers on the dining table

This everyday example is quite trivial and doesnrsquot really refl ect the grand vision conjured up for experts by the term lsquoThe Internet of Thingsrsquo (IoT) However it does give us some indication -- the Internet of Things involves the technology we use when the things around us are talk-ing to each other

The chips and sensors that identify these things also enable them to lsquotalkrsquo to each other or talk via the Internet and thus share and transfer information to the rest of the world The fridge can tell you that a chick-en fi llet is on the verge if its expiry date Your electric car can transfer power back to the grid so that it doesnrsquot become overcharged and if you have a chronic illness you can be medically monitored and cared for via wireless sensor systems We will soon have smart houses smart traffi c and smart health

Technology optimists claim that IoT technology will be the vital missing link enabling us to meet the major challenges associated with climate change energy effi ciency mobility and future health services The new technology will also create new products new services new interfaces and new applications

The visionsOne of todayrsquos future research-

ers Dave Evans of the American IT company Cisco claims that there are about ten billion units connected to the web today and that this will have increased by fi ve times in 2020 lsquoWe will be connecting devices to the Internet that we donrsquot think about very much today Our house asthma inhaler maybe our shoes -- perhaps even treesrsquo he tells the magazine Teknisk Ukeblad

SINTEFrsquos Chief Scientist Ovidiu Vermesan is working on both the Internet of Things and The Internet of Energy as part of several ma-jor EU projects The fi rst of these ambitions involves the electric car and what will be known as the smart house in which products and services providing notifi cations security energy-saving automation telecommunication computers and entertainment will be integrated into a single system with a shared user interface

Vermesan thinks that we have to be visionary if we are to achieve these impossible targets lsquoObvi-ously not everything will be in place straight away But we are develop-ing the technology in Europe right now -- demonstrating testing and developing products -- and by 2020 or 2030 we will be much nearer our targetrsquo

lsquoAnd how will all these products manage to talk to each otherrsquo lsquoThe lsquolanguagersquo will be based on a type of protocol similar to the built-in for-mula that enables our mobile phones to talk using WiFi ISA100 ZigBee or BlueToothrsquo

lsquoBut will everything really be able to talk to everything else Or will equipment in the energy sector only be able to talk to other energy-related equipment Will devices in the health service be able to commu-nicate internally and so on In other

words is IoT more of a concept than something that can become a realityrsquo

lsquoIoT is a generic term for all of the devices and lsquothingsrsquo that can perform a service and that we want to be available on the Internet Several of the things you mention can connect and share information with each other but not all of them want to make the information available -- such as banks Obviously they want to make sure that only you can have access to your personal information via your mobile or computerrsquo

Communication in the health services

In the same way as we put ID chips on products we can attach sensors to ourselves and allow them to communicate via the Web to other objects around us The health ser-vice is currently testing sensors on elderly patients living at home The sensors can monitor pulse and blood pressure The measurements can be read by the patients themselves and communicated onward to a central location via their mobiles This is a simple form of communication that does not involve the Web

In the future however technology optimists envisage a completely dif-ferent fl ow of information in which the IoT will be able to set up not only the system architecture but also the rules governing security and the fl ow of information

PhD Inge Krogstad Senior Ad-viser at Nordic CoE Health Care at the IT company SAS Institute is working on a national network for the Internet of Things in Norway He describes his scenario for the Internet of Things within the health service like this

lsquoIn the morning the lsquosystemrsquo looks up that dayrsquos surgery schedule in the activity calendar and while it is checking the dayrsquos operations it also checks traffi c information on the patientsrsquo routes to the hospital It optimises their routes so that the last patient will be fi nished at 1500 since it is Friday If there is a lot of traffi c and poor driving condi-

tions the system revises the rota sends lsquoextra rotarsquo text messages to another two employees simultane-ously adjusting the time the alarm clocks of that dayrsquos team will go off It streams key data about the dayrsquos fi rst two operations to the three employeesrsquo media devices (car radio smart phone PDA) as they travel to work at the same time as it tells the patients that the schedule has been changed because an employee is sick while it relocates all the re-sources in order to meet the revised schedulersquo

Interpretation models neededFrode Strisland at SINTEF is con-

ducting research into small portable wireless medical sensor systems that patients will be able to operate in their own homes For example many chronically ill patients will benefi t greatly from being able to understand and follow up their own illness together with their doctor Many other elderly and chronically ill patients are grateful for the sensor technology that makes life safer for them -- for example by sending an alarm if a patient has a fall

He thinks that IoT is important and will soon be offering many opportunities within the fi eld of medical follow up However he emphasises that medical information is private and must not fall into the wrong hands Nor will an IoT be of much use if it allows all the informa-tion in the world to fl ow around on the Web without anyone developing good models that can explain and interpret that information

lsquoIt would be like the Meteorologi-cal Institute only having a network of measuring stations but no inter-pretation models that could analyse the situation and make prognosesrsquo he says lsquoIoT will provide many op-portunities for us to medically moni-tor chronic patients in the future but it will be important for us to choose measuring methods that provide sound answers -- and work on devel-oping interpretation models adapted to the patients as individuals each with their own illnesses

The Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Houses Smart Traffi c Smart Health Part 1Most things involve energyOvidiu Vermesan can understand

that the new technology is hard to grasp He is coordinating the EU Internet of Energy (IoE) project and working with 40 European partners on how to make it easier for energy suppliers and consumers to intercon-nect with each othersrsquo equipment

Major changes in the energy sector in recent years mean that the need for smart fl exible energy is increas-ing and that energy production and storage facilities will have to become more coordinated Current methods mean that our electricity is supplied by large commercial en-ergy companies from coal gas and nuclear power stations

So far these centrally controlled systems have not needed to commu-nicate much with the outside world In the future however distributed energy sources provided by mul-tiple suppliers will take over These sources will come from renewable energy such as hydro wind and solar

So according to Vermesan produc-tion will be dictated by access to resources which will in turn depend on solar intensity wind strength or water fl ow For instance energy companies will have access to a lot of wind energy at certain times when users will be able to benefi t by disconnecting from other energy sources and only using wind energy Energy will be a fresh commodity

The new power gridIn the future power grid known

as the Smart Grid every facility and device will have its own IP address so that it can be monitored and con-trolled via the Internet

As consumers we will be among the fi rst proponents of the future grid via the new Advanced Meter-ing Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will be installed in our homes over the next few years This will enable us not only to understand but also control our consumption

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise and land tours to some

selected cities in Spain Italy and France Courtesy of my sister Mila Denton Goldberg and her husband Art of San Diego my wife and I enjoyed this one for free

The much-needed vacation was supposed to free me from much of the virtual digital life that Irsquove lived lately Although at the cruise ship it was almost totally Facebook Twit-ter and email-free it was not totally digital free

I brought with me my iPad iP-hone and Kindle My wife brought her MacBook Air and iPhone Of course built-in to the devices are audio recorders mp3 players video and still camerarecorders and hun-dreds of applications for several uses either off-line and online

I also had accessories to these devices that I acquired from the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and the MACWORLD

For all intents and purposes I still continued to live an electronically led life despite the original intention of getting freed precisely from it

It turned out to be great The still and video cameras built-in to the iPad and iPhone made it easier for me to record memorable events and sites I took photographs and videos of shows and activities around the ship

In Madrid I actually ldquowalked with historyrdquo With photographs and videos to show I visited the fi rst and second residences of Jose

Rizal walked to Las Cortes Espa-ntildeolas (now Congreso de Diputados) where Rizal and his friends lobbied for Philippine rights went and ate at Viva Madrid restaurant where Rizal regularly ate his meals and walked to where ldquoLa Solidaridadrdquo was published

Also within walking distance was Ateneo de Madrid where Rizal studied English and did research Within a stone throw away is the place where the Circulo Hispano is headquartered This is the associa-tion of Filipino students and Spanish

sympathizers I also walked to see the place

where the members of the Propagan-da Movement led by Lopez Jaena regularly met to plot their lobbying efforts

When Jose Rizal delivered an ac-claimed speech honoring Luna and Hidalgo and exhorting the Filipino students to follow in the footsteps of the two honorees it was done in Hotel Ingles I certainly visited the place

The technology gadgets that I brought with the corresponding apps have indeed proven useful in record-ing and storing historical memories for easy retrieval for me other par-ties and even the next generation

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

For more information please call Melanie Dulfo of the Philippine Forum at 718-565-8862 or email at mdulfophilippineforumorg

The Philippine Forum is a New York City-based not-for-profi t organization that provides direct services training and advocacy to Filipinos and people of Filipino heritage in the United States It is also a prime mover in coalitions with other immigrant groups in advocating for immigration reform

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

It is good to hear stories from other Filipinos who tried their best in helping

relatives back in the Philip-pines Most of them were doing this noble acts for many years now and donrsquot expect anything back but just a hope that someday these recipients will become self-suffi cient Even the older folks receiv-ing some meager government benefi ts sent whatever they can afford

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

ldquoBy offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be re-fused and the conversion of many sinners will be obtainedrdquo

ldquoIt is required that all undertake to widely spread and make known this devotion to the Holy Face of Jesusrdquo

Our Lord said to Sister Marie de Saint-Piere of St Peter A Carmel-ite Nun of Tours France

The Golden Arrow (Prayer revealed by Our Lord to

Sister Marie de Saint-Piere of Saint Peter A Carmelite Nun in 1843)

May the most holy most sacred most adorable most incomprehen-sible and ineffable Name of God be forever praised blessed loved adored and glorifi ed in Heaven on Earth and under the Earth by all the creatures of God--and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ--in the Most Holy Sacra-ment of the Altar Amen

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

MIS-LABELED PEOPLE

The buzz was about the impeachment wherever I went

The unprecedented convic-tion of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court the fi rst in our history and unheard of in any democratic country in recent years is a loud declara-tion to the worldnotdagger that many Filipinos will no longer accept passively the label that we are the corrupt man of Asia

By simply making honesty the highest measure of leader-ship and good citizenship we can gain global trust open the fl oodgates of investments and re-brandnotdagger the Philippines as the new wonder economy of Asia

The Filipino brand will mean top quality ethical products good busi-ness climate unmatched hospitality happy and hard-working people and strong moral governance

Business responds positively to transparency and accountability

Only after two years with an hon-est President the Philippine stock market is the most stable in the re-gion our 64 GDP in the last quarter was second only to China We are one notch belownotdagger investment grade after several credit upgrades While the dark clouds of recession and

depression hover over Europe and America the light is shining through our emerging landscape

Defi nitely the grass is getting greener and the sky is becoming bluer in the Philippines

CHANGING MINDSETS

sbquoAumlregThis radical optimism towards the homeland after years of self-exile and self-bashing pervaded the air of rejoicing at the successful GK Hope Ball (June 2) and the Inde-pendence Day parade (June 3) at the Big Apple where Gawad Kalinga volunteers formed the fi rst human marching fl ag along Madison Ave It was the same spirit that energised the GK Global Summit 2012 in To-ronto the following week (June 8-9) Pride was no longer in the singular achievement of Manny Pacquiao or Jessica Sanchez or indignation over their loss but in every Filipino hero participating in nation-building

Gawad Kalinga by building over 2000 communities through the sweat and tears of over a million volunteers from various sectors has shown that the Filipino is now in the game to win not just a perennial spectator or fan

The nobility ofnotdagger sacrifi ce for country in the GK way of ldquopadugordquo - bleeding for the cause - is bringing out what is honorable in our people

GK is a mind-changerFrom a country-basher the Filipino

learns to be a nation-builderFrom a love of power and money

he learns the greater love for the poor and his country

Our greatest challenge is for more Filipinos to learn that integrity is more powerful than money

CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS

ldquoThe result of the impeachment conducted through a true democratic process gained for us the admiration of the global community President Aquinorsquos visit next week to meet President Obama is causing excite-ment in DCrdquo This was the message to us of Philippine Ambassador to

the United States Joey Cuisia at our table conversation as he himself could not contain his amazement at the size of the crowd at the GK Hope Ball many of them doctors and nurses more eager to help the country now that there is clear proof of decency in governance

Christopher Thornley the Cana-dian Ambassador to the Philippines was no less enthusiastic in declaring his optimism the following week at the GK Global Summit in Toronto ldquoI have great affection for the Philip-pines and a big admiration for GK - they bring out the best in peoplerdquo was his sincere comment from a fi rst hand experience as a volunteer with his 11 year old son in the Telus Sunlife and Manulife GK villages in Metro Manila

UNDERVALUED COUNTRY

At the round-table meeting he or-ganised with a dozen Canadian cor-porations and institutions - notably

Sunlife Blackberry(RIM) Bombar-dier SNC- Lavalin York University - the mood was upbeat from the top executives present Their comments were mostly encouraging

ldquoThe Philippines is the underval-ued economy of Asiardquo

ldquoThe effort of the present Philip-pine government to curb corruption will attract more Canadian inves-torsrdquo

ldquoIts more viable to put up a busi-ness hub for Asia in Manila where the cost of living is lower compe-tent executives and skilled workers are available and everyone speaks Englishrdquo

ldquoFilipinos are outstanding citizens in Canada - they are our biggest immigrants in the last two years surpassing the Chinese and the Indiansrdquo

ldquoNow Canada has to compete with other countries to attract the most qualifi ed Filipinos to comerdquo

Not to fault Canada but the bright-est and the best from the Philippines are being harvested by rich coun-tries that did not spend to raise and educate them It would be wise that they invest not just in business in the Philippines but also in the education of our poor if they see Filipinos as their fi rst choice for future immi-grants

Our country is a gold-mine of human treasures but many are still covered with dirt in the neglected slums and in the abandoned coun-tryside waiting to be discovered and polishednotdagger for their true value to come out

A SEASON OF HOPE

This is my fi rst visit to North America in nearly half a century where the mood everywhere I went both among Filipinos and foreigners alike is positive and hopeful about our often battered country not only by natural calamities but by bashing from Filipinos themselves

It is an astounding paradigm shift to those raised with a colonial

Synopsis

When George Madrid the affable young priest arrived at the town of Santa Lucia he welcomed the idea of working with the sacadas impoverished farm workers toil-ing in the rice paddies of a tropical island paradise Born and bred a city boy and knowing little of rural life the newly-ordained cleric encounters widespread suffering among the poor exploited powerless peasantry -- simple folks who cower in fear of the dictatorial regimersquos abusive mili-tary forces and who are exploited by affl uent self-serving land-owners and radicalized by Maoist-inspired insurgents

In the chaos following a village-wide massacre Father George feels compelled to join the underground insurgency movement He eventu-ally rises to the top echelons of the Communist Party of the Philip-pines Father George Madrid now Kumander Gusi third in command of the dreaded New Peoplersquos Army becomes the main target of a nation-wide manhunt

At every turn the priest turned rebel is haunted by his decision Was

defecting the right thing to do Was he truly liberating the poor and the oppressed Or was he simply living the romanticized life of a revolution-ary

Fourteen years of living as a fugitive and enduring hundreds of skirmishes Kumander Gusi is still searching for answers when the charismatic former senator Benigno ldquoNinoyrdquo Aquino returning from exile in the United States is brutally gunned down at the Manila Interna-tional Airport

When ldquoPeople Powerrdquo mass protests on February 22-25 1986 plunge the Philippines into the raging throes of a populist revolu-tion the cleric turned communist commander fi nds himself laboring with friends and enemies to steer their beloved country through a historically turbulent and perilously unpredictable course

Can he avert a national catastro-phe Will he fi nally fi nd redemption for himself

This historical novel is dedicated to the thousands who lost their lives during the dark nights of Martial Law in the Philippines (1972-1986)

And to Benigno Ninoy Aquino and Redemptorist priest Father Rudy Romano

SelectionDr Ed Gamboa MD

Prologue

Sunday August 21 1983 Manila International Airporthellip

The pilots of China Airline fl ight 813 switched gears The tower had cleared them for touch down A large crowd standing in the af-ternoon sun to welcome Benigno Ninoy Aquino the exiled former Senator and charismatic opposition leader of the Marcos dictatorship are cordoned off by police and air-port security but continue to wave in eager anticipation

As the plane taxis passengers aboard the jumbo jet are told not to disembark until further instruc-tion When the plane stops three uniformed and armed government soldiers board the aircraft They approach and encircle Aquino He

appears calm and smiling but be-comes slightly apprehensive as he is ominously escorted out of the plane through the rear door The exit door is blocked and no one gets a clear view of Aquino as he descends to the tarmac

Then a barrage of gunshots are heard The senator slumps to the ground struck in the head Two soldiers quickly haul Aquino into a van which speeds away

The priest stares at the TV screen in the hospital lobby for the longest time Grainy video clips of the outra-geous assassination is replayed over and over again as journalists report the news to a stunned nation of 52 million and commentators attempt to explain the senseless killing

Father George Madrid briefl y looks at the crowd milling around the hospital foyer He picks up his crutches not quite certain where he was headed to or what he was going to do next

Philippine Independence Day parade in Madison Avenue in New York

Tony Meloto at the Gawad Kalinga Global Summit in Toron-to Canada

By Zena Sultana Babao

Mind and body work together ndash once the mind improves or deteriorates the body does too and vice versa The Romans of old were right when they said ldquomens sana en corpore sanordquo which in English means ldquoa sound mind in a sound bodyrdquo

A study about aging well was conducted by the Harvard Medi-cal School wherein over 800 men and women were closely followed from their teen years until they were in their 80rsquos Over the years these people were given tests physically examined by doctors and inter-viewed by psychiatrists The fi nd-ings of the doctors and psychiatrists were then evaluated

The study was a medical rarity because it examined the lives of the well not the sick Then Parade magazine reported the fi ndings after interviewing the studyrsquos director A major fi nding is that good genes do not account for better aging Neither did income The study disputed the assumption that aging results in decay

Advancing age may impair some motor skills but maturity can make people even sharper if your know what to do If maturity can make people sharper then the dreaded onslaught of Alzheimerrsquos could be kept at bay

Our memory fades and itrsquos normal and we call that lapse ldquosenior mo-mentsrdquo What we need to know is how to keep our minds sharp Here are some recommendations to do that

LIVE A FULL HEART Look towards the future Anticipate plan and hope Have a sense of gratitude forgiveness and optimism See the glass as half-full instead of half-empty Practice empathy Step into someone elsersquos shoes and see how others feel

SAY NO TO NICOTINE Those who quit the habit before they are 50 are as healthy as those who never smoked Too much nicotine can re-sult in premature aging even death

LEARN TO ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES Cope with stress Make lemonade out of lemons Keep your sense of humor You will enjoy life better if you can take the ups and downs of life

KEEP YOUR WEIGHT DOWN Obesity leads to all kinds of dis-eases like diabetes high blood pressure and Alzheimerrsquos Obesity is the number one health problem in America today

WORK ON HAVING A STRONG MARRIAGE A good marriage con-tributes to a long and healthy life (However if you are married to a habitual womanizer who constantly puts you down and he is ashamed of you no matter how good you are and how good you look life is hell)

NEVER STOP LEARNING People who continue to learn have a longer lease in life No matter how old you are itrsquos never too late to learn more Reading and public speaking keep you mentally sharp It is said that your most productive years are when you are no longer young

BOOST YOUR ENERGY LEV-EL In todayrsquos fast-paced world many of us are juggling so many activities that we end up totally worn

out and burned out and energy level plummets down to zero Without energy our body grinds down to a halt

What we need is to recharge our body to maintain a high level of en-ergy By recharging we can be sure that our body functions optimally Here are some simple things we can do to boost our energy level

STABILIZE OUR BLOOD SUG-AR Quick energy snacks like candy bars and soda may boost energy but only temporarily They leave us more tired than energetic because refi ned sugars are digested quickly and lead to a rapid rise in our blood sugar level Itrsquos much better to eat slow-energy food like fi sh chicken eggs and turkey Non-starchy veg-etables like broccoli and caulifl ower and fi ber-rich food like berries and apples are good sources of energy

KEEP YOUR MOOD UP High-energy people are enthusiastic about what they so If you have waning energy have frequent down days or suffer serious bouts of depression it would be best to consult a doctor

INCREASE ENERGY-BOOST-ING ACTIVITIES Physical activity like exercise builds and strengthens our muscles If we are in shape we are more energetic and are better able to handle stress If strenuous exercise is not possible even a 20-minute walk three times a week will be benefi cial The more regular and intense our exercise is ndash the better the benefi ts

LEARN TO UNWIND Stress can drain us Work commuting and family frustrations are the most com-mon causes of stress Lifersquos stresses activate a broad range of hormonal and immune responses These can lead to aches and pains and diseases we donrsquot want to acquire

To unwind we need good stress-reducing activities like yoga tai chi guided imagery or visualization Qi Gong (a Chinese practice that uses movement to promote energy) and other forms of physical and mental exercise Reading good books especially the Bible is a great way to unwind

GET ENOUGH SLEEP Nothing undermines our energy more than lack of sleep If we are so sleepy we could not function or think normally Although each one of us has different sleep needs and the amount vary from person to person we can safely say that those chroni-cally tired people are those who are sleep deprived

If you are like me who cannot sleep after drinking a cup of coffee in the afternoon drink something soothing like warm milk instead Listening to soft mellow music or reading good books let me sleep I donrsquot know about you but counting sheep doesnrsquot work for me -- zena-sultanahotmailcom

SAN DIEGO June 27 2012 ndash As part of its 2012 Environmental Champions Initiative San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) today announced that it will contribute $1 million to lo-cal environmental non-profit organiza-tions in San Diego County and south Orange County

SDGampE is welcoming proposals from non-profit environmental organi-zations for pro-grams that en-gage and educate young people in the commu-nity as stewards of the environ-ment in the areas of ecosystem awareness en-vironmental conservation and energy and water efficiency

Winning organizations can receive up to $25000 for individual projects and up to $50000 for collaborative projects with partner environmental non-profit organizations This initiative is limited to environmental education and community engagement programs administered in SDGampErsquos territory

ldquoThe San Diego region is home to hundreds of non-profit organizations whose programs engage kids and communities in our local environment SDGampE is proud to partner with many of these non-profits in support of our shared commitment to the environ-

ment and environmental steward-shiprdquo said Pedro Villegas director of community relations for SDGampE ldquoThrough support of our partner non-profit organizations we also seek to provide underserved communities with access to environmental education and engagement programs access that may not be available otherwiserdquo

New Law Increases Public Access to Digital Criminal

Case Information San Diego County District At-

torney Bonnie M Dumanis an-nounced today that Assembly Bill 2222 sponsored by the District Attorneyrsquos Office and authored by Assemblyman Marty Block has passed the California State Senate by a unanimous vote AB 2222 would allow prosecutors in the state to use electronically-stored information stored in their case management databases to run queries and obtain valuable information in response to public records act requests AB 2222 now goes to Governor Jerry

Brown for his signatureldquoOur office strives for government

transparency but current laws are lagging behind technology when it comes to electronic records AB 2222 updates those laws allowing us to respond to the many Public Re-cords Act (PRA) requests we receive every year more efficiently while still complying with the statutes that protect victims and restrict informa-tion like an individualrsquos criminal historyrdquo said Dumanis

Increasingly District Attorneys across California are converting to paperless case files and paperless record keeping Many of those case management systems contain a large amount of detail about a case Cur-

DA-Sponsored Transparency Bill Gets Unanimous Approval from State Senate

rently Public Records Act requests can potentially require the disclosure of information that other statutes currently prohibit

The end result of this conflict is lawsuits for failure to disclose information required by the PRA the expenditure of resources for inefficient searches for information which could be avoided through the use of the electronic case manage-ment system and the appearance of secrecy rather than transparency

AB 2222 amends Penal Code Section 13300 to allow prosecutors to use their electronic case manage-ment databases to run queries and obtain the information that may be disclosed under the California Public Records Act

ldquoWe are sincere in our effort to use our electronic case management system to respond to public records requests and AB 2222 will allow us to do this in a cost-efficient way while complying with current lawrdquo Dumanis said

SB 1264 adds university and college athletic coaches to

mandated reporters list

SACRAMENTO CA (June 26 2012) - California State Assembly Committee on Public Safety today unanimously approved State Senator Juan Vargasrsquo (D-Chula Vista) Senate Bill 1264 which would add all levels of university coaching staff to the list of mandated reporters The bill will next be heard in the Assembly Appropria-tions Com-mittee

ldquoOur childrenrsquos safety must always come firstrdquo said Senator Vargas ldquoToday we are one step closer to making University coaches of every level accountable for reporting sexual abuse and ensuring that no one will get away with protecting their team over the innocence of a childrdquo

SB 1264 which would add any athletic coach including an assistant coach or a graduate assistant involved in coaching at public or private post-secondary institutions to the existing list of mandated reporters as speci-fied in the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act This bill is a neces-sary step in closing the loophole in the current structure of the mandated reporter requirements in order to

ensure that our children are protected and stems from Senator Vargasrsquo read of the federal Grand Jury report in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case at Penn State University

About the Sandusky CaseAt the end of 2011 prosecutors

filed criminal charges against Jerry Sandusky the assistant football coach at Penn State for nearly fifteen years for alleged sexual abuse charges In the case against Sandusky the Grand Jury found that there had been at least

eight victims of sexual assaults throughout his career at Penn State The former head coach of the Penn State football team Joe Pa-

terno allegedly knew of instances of sexual abuse but failed to report these directly to Child Welfare Services Instead he reported to a supervisor who also failed to report to Child Welfare Services

SDGampE Expects to Meet Summer Pow-er Supply Demand

Sunrise Powerlink Conservation Demand-Response Programs will be Key in Helping Local Electric

Grid When Needed

SAN DIEGO June 14 2012 ndash Sum-mer typically means warmer weather and increased air conditioning use This summer San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) is reminding customers that while adequate electricity sup-plies are lined up to meet customersrsquo energy needs conservation and demand response will still be vital during extremely hot weather or an unplanned power plant outage or transmission line emergency

ldquoSDGampE has been working hard to plan for the summer to ensure that customersrsquo summer electricity needs are metrdquo said Jessie J Knight Jr SDGampErsquos chairman and chief executive officer ldquoWhen the Sunrise Powerlink is energized this will help increase the local power supply and improve the situation in San Diego by increasing the amount of imports into the regionrdquo

Despite having adequate electric re-sources conditions are subject to change due to unexpected situations that may be out of our control High air condi-tioning use during summer heat waves or electric transmission emergencies can have severe impacts on SDGampErsquos ability to deliver power ldquoSouthern California faces a challenging electrical resource situation this summer because the regionrsquos largest power plant the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station will remain offline for most of the summerrdquo added Michael R Niggli SDGampErsquos president and chief operating officer ldquoIf we have a lengthy heat wave we may have to call on customers to reduce their energy use As a result SDGampE is encouraging customers to make energy conservation a habitrdquo

The California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO) the agency responsible for managing the bulk of the statersquos power grid issued its 2012 Sum-mer Assessment confirming adequate supplies for most of California Over 283 megawatts (MW) of new generation resources were added to the ISO grid in the second half of 2011 with an esti-mated 926 MW coming on line by July 1 2012 This will primarily be renew-able generation such as solar and wind

The ISO is also increasing demand response and conservation awareness including bringing back the Flex Alerts public awareness campaign alerting customers when to conserve electricity

ldquoIf the ISO issues a Flex Alert we

nity to submit their applica-tions until July 27 Pref-erence will be given to environmental programs that target one or more of the following areas natural resource conservation

and protection habitat preservation and restoration energy efficiency and wasterecycling SDGampE plans to an-nounce the winners in September

SDGampE is a regulated public utility that provides safe and reliable energy service to 34 million consumers through 14 million electric meters and more than 850000 natural gas meters in San Diego and southern Orange counties The utilityrsquos area spans 4100 square miles SDGampE is committed to creating ways to help our custom-ers save energy and money every day SDGampE is a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (NYSE SRE) a Fortune 500 energy services holding company based in San Diego

My Positive Vision for the

PhilippinesBy Cesar D Candari

MDrsquo61 FCAP Emeritus

AS I WRITE this article today the Corona Impeachment Trial ended and the Scarborough Shoal confl ict still covered incessantly the media as a major signifi cant issue a crisis in the south China Sea which to me is frightening sign of what is going to happen Wrong ideas are still in the minds of our intellectuals in the Philippines

Government is a kleptocracy and a family dynasty The nepotism and cronyism that infest the Philippines public life will stay Corruption will persist for the upper economic and political classes in the Philippines It is rampant in these socio-economic and political strata The oligarchic classes are a status quo in Philippine Society-- based on a monopolistic access to material resources and po-litical power Quo Vadis Philippines

As the case of election sabotage against GM Arroyo shall be on trial soon (when is soon) a huge question is how it will end The darkest hour in our judicial history apparently was resolved We have been dragged to the opposite side of delicadeza of honor of integrity I pray we have crossed that bridge and rebuild our dignity from the debris A positive point may be is the fact that we have seen its ugliness its nauseating effect and everything else that doesnrsquot nurture life It was

as though what people suspected were affi rmed beyond the shadow of a doubt ndash that Rene Corona was dirty

The territorial squabbles with China are a problem American bases were kicked out and see what is happening now - the Spratleys- Chinesersquos recent incursion in the Scarborough Shoal - surely to be taken over by China The US doesnrsquot care

Why Filipino nationalists kicked out the American bases Did we improve in many things because we kicked them out Absolutely no

For tomorrow on a positive note President Aquino is determined to turn the corner by instituting genuine wide-ranging mean-ingful reform and acting on its belief that good governance is the bedrock of equitable progress

The President Noynoy Aquino said he is now tackling the problem of graft and corruption He said ldquoIt is with this principle in mind that we have allocated unprecedented sums to alleviate extreme poverty and are concen-trating on providing more opportunities for employ-mentrdquo

There are some signs that the country ndash with its young population of nearly 100 millions people the worldrsquos 12th largest ndash has turned a corner There are three reasons to be hopeful if not yet exactly cheerful

bull First the Philippines after years of indebtedness is a net credi-tor

Overseas remittances from the roughly 8 millions Filipinos work-ing abroad have steadily added to foreign exchange reserves At nearly $80 billions these are higher than the external debt Revenues from back offi ce businesses have quin-

tupled over six years from $200 to $11 Billions

bull Second the country is getting its fi scal house in order The defi cit has narrowed from a worry-ing 5-6 per cent a decade ago to a manageable 2 per cent

bull Third the political situ-ation is vastly improved Benigno ldquoNoynoyrdquo Aquino elected president in 2010 has made a creditable start For one his government has sent out a strong message that it will not tolerate corruption ldquoThy will be

donerdquo

The Philippines in my view is

not a hopeless case The perennial question - Will it degenerate into a greater social political and eco-nomic tragedy

The impeachment of Corona ended He was found guilty

Indeed the truth prevailed This is a resounding impact to all Fili-pinos sending a message loud and clear that there must be accountabil-ity and transparency in our leaders in government

Social entre-preneurship

The View From Taft Florenz C Tugas BusinessWorld Online

The Department of Tour-ism recently launched its campaign on 100

and more reasons why it is more fun in the Philippines This has made Filipinos ev-erywhere feel more proud of their country and has created a way of enticing foreigners to come to the Philippines

This is especially good for the economy but if we want to be stra-tegic about creating jobs to alleviate poverty we have to think beyond the obvious

Aside from targeting foreign tour-ists I propose that we redirect our efforts to ensure that Filipinos stay in the Philippines not because of blind faith nationalism or patrio-tism but because of the many great

Com men tary tary things this country has to offer

I AM PROPOSING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND IN-NOVATION a more sustainable and results-oriented initiative Rather than seek employment and depend largely on imports for the goods and services we need daily we can create businesses that cater to these needs and consequently provide employment

What we are experiencing now can be attributed partly to how we have been conditioned -- that right after graduation we should seek employ-ment Very often the big dream is to land a job in a multinational company

This is good donrsquot get me wrong But this opportunity is usually available only to the elite whom the hiring criteria favor The unemploy-ment fi gures tell us that most of our graduates have not yet realized their dreams Now is the best time for academe to advocate that starting a business is an option for the more than 500000 students who graduate yearly

Early this year I had the oppor-tunity to visit the Enchanted Farm of Gawad Kalinga (GK) in Angat Bulacan The Farm is GKrsquos platform to follow through what it had started which is building homes for the com-munity Through the Farm GK is providing livelihood to the community

During that visit I was inspired by how the community had been structured Social entrepreneurs enable their adopted community to contribute to the huge task of nation-building These social entrepreneurs are college students fresh college graduates and those who used to be employed but who later decided to

pursue social entrepreneurship They created jobs for the community by using raw materials sourced from the Farm

In the Farm I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of interns from other Asian countries Europe and the Americas They are there to learn not only about our culture but also (and more importantly) about the social enterprise platform of the Farm They see much hope for the Philippines Yes they believe that Philippines has the potential to grow and become a developed economy

Quite ironic isnrsquot it They see it but we do not As Tony Meloto the man behind GK puts it Is it always like this That we Filipinos are the last to realize that being a Filipino is a blessing and that having the Philip-pines as our home is among the best gifts from God

His rhetorical questions made me realize that God had not made a mistake when He made us Filipinos The best time to truly be a Filipino is now We have to go back to the basics and appreciate that we are a nation with rich and vast natural resources including some fl ora and fauna that can be found only in our country We have to leverage on this to start our social enterprises that

will pro-vide jobs to the com-munity

The response of the students faculty and admin-istration of the Ramon

V Del Rosario College of Business has been overwhelming In fact at the start of De La Sallersquos second centennial we will push for a year-long program of sustainable aware-ness and involvement in the Farm putting up our own social enterprise in and for the community

I canrsquot believe that itrsquos actu-ally time for my son to get

his learners permit

Herersquos a way to start feeling a bit older your child turns old enough for his learnerrsquos permithellipand wants one now Today Right now pop Please Can I Huh Can I have one Please pop Please can I get my learners permit Can I Huh Pop can I

Well I supposehellip Okay yes He can get his learners permit That means downloading the handbook for him to study plus practice tests and more It also means at least for

residents of California a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicle where you get a copy of application form DL 44 (yes you have to go get one) Why canrsquot it be downloaded from the DMV website you ask Well donrsquot bother It canrsquot so go get it

Here are the steps necessary to take for a learners permit

bullBe at least 15 frac12 but under 18 years of age

bullVisit a DMV offi ce (make an Ap-pointment online for faster service)

Complete and submit an original application form DL 44 (Only an original DL 44 form will be accept-ed Copies obtained by photocopy-ing faxing or other methods will not be accepted)

Provide your social security number on the DL 44 It will be verifi ed with the Social Security Administration while you are in the offi ce

Have both of your parentsrsquo or guardiansrsquo signatures on the DL 44 application form

NOTE When you sign your ap-plication for an instruction permitdriver license you agree to submit to a chemical test to determine the al-cohol or drug content of your blood when required by a peace offi cer If you refuse to sign this statement on your driver license application DMV will not issue a permit or license

bullGive a thumb print bullHave your picture taken bullBring your original birth certifi -

cate or a certifi ed copy If you are not a US-born citizen you must provide proof that you are a legal US resident

bullProvide your full legal name bullSubmit the proper form(s) for

driver education andor driver train-ing classes (See below for details)

bullPay the application fee (This fee entitles you to three exams of any

type within the 12-month period and pays for both the permit and the driver license If all requirements are not met within the 12-month period the application becomes void and all steps must be completed again)

bullPass a vision exam bullPass a traffi c laws and sign test

You must get at least 38 questions right out of 46 You will have 3 chances to take the test but if you fail a test you must wait 7 days be-fore taking the test again If you fail the test all 3 times you must start over by fi lling out a new DL 44

It was a bit different when I got my learners permit Irsquom not sure if that was because the laws were different then or because I received mine in Florida and not California When it was time to get my permit a friend

took me to the Florida DMV offi ce in Ft Lauderdale I showed them my birth certifi cate paid a small fee and got the piece of paper that said I could start driving with a grownup I didnrsquot even have to attend a driverrsquos ed program

We drove home and I walked in the door and announced to my parents that I now had my learners permit and would appreciate any opportunity to drive with them They went a bit pale but said okay And thatrsquos when I started driving

It obviously wonrsquot be that way with my son but what the heck hersquoll learn to be a good defensive driver At least thatrsquos the plan Irsquoll keep you up to datehellipwish me luck

Remedies Sought for FCC Unlawful Action Preventing Access to Wireless Licenses

Valued at $19 Billion

DENVERmdashYesterday the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) a member of the Asian American Cen-ter for Advancing Justice joined 18 small minority- and women-owned businesses (SMWBs) public interest groups and civil rights organizations on an amicus brief in the US Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case

of Council Tree Investors Inc v Federal Communications Commis-sion (FCC) arguing for remedies for damages suffered by SMWBs that participated in the 2008 wireless spectrum auction

ldquoAsian Americans and other minorities are already severely underrepresented in the telecommu-nications industryrdquo said Mee Moua president and executive director of AAJC ldquoAs we increasingly move toward a wireless society and econ-omy it is absolutely critical for all participants in the wireless industry

IMMIGRATION 911 by Atty Susan V Perez

Maria a Filipino citizen came to me for assistance regarding her daughterrsquos legal residence status Maria her husband their daughter and their son came to the United States on a tourist visa in 2001 At the time Mariarsquos daughter was only seven years old while Mariarsquos son was twelve years old They never left the United States Mariarsquos son married a US citizen and became a US citizen As soon as he turned 21 he petitioned for Maria and her husband who are now legal perma-nent residents of the United States Mariarsquos daughter remains to be undocumented She completed high school but could not get into San Diego Community College because she does not have any legal status She could not work either because she does not have any employ-ment permit I could not offer her a solution at the time because therersquos none Although she is dating a US citizen she was not ready to tie the knot

At least 65000 undocumented immigrant youth graduate from high schools every year and many of them struggle to attend institutes of higher education and military President Obama at last came through with a bold memorandum on June 15 2012 through the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano stating that young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own will be considered for relief from deportation known as ldquoDeferred Actionrdquo Pursuant to Sec-retary Napolitanorsquos June 15 2012 memorandum in order to be eligible for deferred action the foreign national must

Have come to the United States under the age of sixteen

Have continuously resided in the United States for at least fi ve years preceding the date of the memoran-dum (June 15 2012) and are present in the United States on the date of the memorandum

Currently be in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education de-velopment (GED) certifi cate or are

honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States

Have not been convicted of felony offense a signifi cant misdemeanor offense multiple misdemeanor of-fenses or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety

Not above the age of thirty (30)Applicants must also complete

a background check and for those individuals who make a request to USCIS and are not subject to a fi nal order of removal must be 15 years old or older

Deferred action is a discretion-ary determination to defer removal action of an individual as an act of prosecutorial Deferred action does not confer lawful status upon an individual However he or she will be eligible to receive employment authorization for the period of de-ferred action provided he or she can demonstrate ldquoan economic necessity for employmentrdquo Deferred action can be terminated at any time at the agencyrsquos discretion

Individuals who are not in removal proceedings or who are subject to a fi nal order of removal will need to submit a request for a review of their case and supporting evidence to US Citizenship and Immigra-tion Services (USCIS) Individuals may request deferred action if they meet the eligibility criteria Mariarsquos daughter can apply for deferred ac-tion and if approved will be eligible to get an employment authorization I believe that she is eligible for the issuance of social security number and a driverrsquos license

In the coming weeks USCIS will outline and announce the procedures by which individuals can engage in this process At this time those who are eligible for deferred action but NOT in removal proceedings should NOT apply affi rmatively but wait for mid-August when USCIS and ICE will begin accepting ap-plications Those who are facing imminent removal from the United States and who believe they can demonstrate that they satisfy the eli-gibility criteria should immediately contact Law Enforcement Support Centerrsquos hotline at 1-855-448-6903

ScienceDaily (June 26 2012) mdash Monday morning and yoursquore in a hurry On your way out you check your pockets Money Mobile Where are the car keys A quick text message and the keys let you know that they are under the papers on the dining table

This everyday example is quite trivial and doesnrsquot really refl ect the grand vision conjured up for experts by the term lsquoThe Internet of Thingsrsquo (IoT) However it does give us some indication -- the Internet of Things involves the technology we use when the things around us are talk-ing to each other

The chips and sensors that identify these things also enable them to lsquotalkrsquo to each other or talk via the Internet and thus share and transfer information to the rest of the world The fridge can tell you that a chick-en fi llet is on the verge if its expiry date Your electric car can transfer power back to the grid so that it doesnrsquot become overcharged and if you have a chronic illness you can be medically monitored and cared for via wireless sensor systems We will soon have smart houses smart traffi c and smart health

Technology optimists claim that IoT technology will be the vital missing link enabling us to meet the major challenges associated with climate change energy effi ciency mobility and future health services The new technology will also create new products new services new interfaces and new applications

The visionsOne of todayrsquos future research-

ers Dave Evans of the American IT company Cisco claims that there are about ten billion units connected to the web today and that this will have increased by fi ve times in 2020 lsquoWe will be connecting devices to the Internet that we donrsquot think about very much today Our house asthma inhaler maybe our shoes -- perhaps even treesrsquo he tells the magazine Teknisk Ukeblad

SINTEFrsquos Chief Scientist Ovidiu Vermesan is working on both the Internet of Things and The Internet of Energy as part of several ma-jor EU projects The fi rst of these ambitions involves the electric car and what will be known as the smart house in which products and services providing notifi cations security energy-saving automation telecommunication computers and entertainment will be integrated into a single system with a shared user interface

Vermesan thinks that we have to be visionary if we are to achieve these impossible targets lsquoObvi-ously not everything will be in place straight away But we are develop-ing the technology in Europe right now -- demonstrating testing and developing products -- and by 2020 or 2030 we will be much nearer our targetrsquo

lsquoAnd how will all these products manage to talk to each otherrsquo lsquoThe lsquolanguagersquo will be based on a type of protocol similar to the built-in for-mula that enables our mobile phones to talk using WiFi ISA100 ZigBee or BlueToothrsquo

lsquoBut will everything really be able to talk to everything else Or will equipment in the energy sector only be able to talk to other energy-related equipment Will devices in the health service be able to commu-nicate internally and so on In other

words is IoT more of a concept than something that can become a realityrsquo

lsquoIoT is a generic term for all of the devices and lsquothingsrsquo that can perform a service and that we want to be available on the Internet Several of the things you mention can connect and share information with each other but not all of them want to make the information available -- such as banks Obviously they want to make sure that only you can have access to your personal information via your mobile or computerrsquo

Communication in the health services

In the same way as we put ID chips on products we can attach sensors to ourselves and allow them to communicate via the Web to other objects around us The health ser-vice is currently testing sensors on elderly patients living at home The sensors can monitor pulse and blood pressure The measurements can be read by the patients themselves and communicated onward to a central location via their mobiles This is a simple form of communication that does not involve the Web

In the future however technology optimists envisage a completely dif-ferent fl ow of information in which the IoT will be able to set up not only the system architecture but also the rules governing security and the fl ow of information

PhD Inge Krogstad Senior Ad-viser at Nordic CoE Health Care at the IT company SAS Institute is working on a national network for the Internet of Things in Norway He describes his scenario for the Internet of Things within the health service like this

lsquoIn the morning the lsquosystemrsquo looks up that dayrsquos surgery schedule in the activity calendar and while it is checking the dayrsquos operations it also checks traffi c information on the patientsrsquo routes to the hospital It optimises their routes so that the last patient will be fi nished at 1500 since it is Friday If there is a lot of traffi c and poor driving condi-

tions the system revises the rota sends lsquoextra rotarsquo text messages to another two employees simultane-ously adjusting the time the alarm clocks of that dayrsquos team will go off It streams key data about the dayrsquos fi rst two operations to the three employeesrsquo media devices (car radio smart phone PDA) as they travel to work at the same time as it tells the patients that the schedule has been changed because an employee is sick while it relocates all the re-sources in order to meet the revised schedulersquo

Interpretation models neededFrode Strisland at SINTEF is con-

ducting research into small portable wireless medical sensor systems that patients will be able to operate in their own homes For example many chronically ill patients will benefi t greatly from being able to understand and follow up their own illness together with their doctor Many other elderly and chronically ill patients are grateful for the sensor technology that makes life safer for them -- for example by sending an alarm if a patient has a fall

He thinks that IoT is important and will soon be offering many opportunities within the fi eld of medical follow up However he emphasises that medical information is private and must not fall into the wrong hands Nor will an IoT be of much use if it allows all the informa-tion in the world to fl ow around on the Web without anyone developing good models that can explain and interpret that information

lsquoIt would be like the Meteorologi-cal Institute only having a network of measuring stations but no inter-pretation models that could analyse the situation and make prognosesrsquo he says lsquoIoT will provide many op-portunities for us to medically moni-tor chronic patients in the future but it will be important for us to choose measuring methods that provide sound answers -- and work on devel-oping interpretation models adapted to the patients as individuals each with their own illnesses

The Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Houses Smart Traffi c Smart Health Part 1Most things involve energyOvidiu Vermesan can understand

that the new technology is hard to grasp He is coordinating the EU Internet of Energy (IoE) project and working with 40 European partners on how to make it easier for energy suppliers and consumers to intercon-nect with each othersrsquo equipment

Major changes in the energy sector in recent years mean that the need for smart fl exible energy is increas-ing and that energy production and storage facilities will have to become more coordinated Current methods mean that our electricity is supplied by large commercial en-ergy companies from coal gas and nuclear power stations

So far these centrally controlled systems have not needed to commu-nicate much with the outside world In the future however distributed energy sources provided by mul-tiple suppliers will take over These sources will come from renewable energy such as hydro wind and solar

So according to Vermesan produc-tion will be dictated by access to resources which will in turn depend on solar intensity wind strength or water fl ow For instance energy companies will have access to a lot of wind energy at certain times when users will be able to benefi t by disconnecting from other energy sources and only using wind energy Energy will be a fresh commodity

The new power gridIn the future power grid known

as the Smart Grid every facility and device will have its own IP address so that it can be monitored and con-trolled via the Internet

As consumers we will be among the fi rst proponents of the future grid via the new Advanced Meter-ing Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will be installed in our homes over the next few years This will enable us not only to understand but also control our consumption

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise and land tours to some

selected cities in Spain Italy and France Courtesy of my sister Mila Denton Goldberg and her husband Art of San Diego my wife and I enjoyed this one for free

The much-needed vacation was supposed to free me from much of the virtual digital life that Irsquove lived lately Although at the cruise ship it was almost totally Facebook Twit-ter and email-free it was not totally digital free

I brought with me my iPad iP-hone and Kindle My wife brought her MacBook Air and iPhone Of course built-in to the devices are audio recorders mp3 players video and still camerarecorders and hun-dreds of applications for several uses either off-line and online

I also had accessories to these devices that I acquired from the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and the MACWORLD

For all intents and purposes I still continued to live an electronically led life despite the original intention of getting freed precisely from it

It turned out to be great The still and video cameras built-in to the iPad and iPhone made it easier for me to record memorable events and sites I took photographs and videos of shows and activities around the ship

In Madrid I actually ldquowalked with historyrdquo With photographs and videos to show I visited the fi rst and second residences of Jose

Rizal walked to Las Cortes Espa-ntildeolas (now Congreso de Diputados) where Rizal and his friends lobbied for Philippine rights went and ate at Viva Madrid restaurant where Rizal regularly ate his meals and walked to where ldquoLa Solidaridadrdquo was published

Also within walking distance was Ateneo de Madrid where Rizal studied English and did research Within a stone throw away is the place where the Circulo Hispano is headquartered This is the associa-tion of Filipino students and Spanish

sympathizers I also walked to see the place

where the members of the Propagan-da Movement led by Lopez Jaena regularly met to plot their lobbying efforts

When Jose Rizal delivered an ac-claimed speech honoring Luna and Hidalgo and exhorting the Filipino students to follow in the footsteps of the two honorees it was done in Hotel Ingles I certainly visited the place

The technology gadgets that I brought with the corresponding apps have indeed proven useful in record-ing and storing historical memories for easy retrieval for me other par-ties and even the next generation

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

For more information please call Melanie Dulfo of the Philippine Forum at 718-565-8862 or email at mdulfophilippineforumorg

The Philippine Forum is a New York City-based not-for-profi t organization that provides direct services training and advocacy to Filipinos and people of Filipino heritage in the United States It is also a prime mover in coalitions with other immigrant groups in advocating for immigration reform

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

Com men tary tary

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

It is good to hear stories from other Filipinos who tried their best in helping

relatives back in the Philip-pines Most of them were doing this noble acts for many years now and donrsquot expect anything back but just a hope that someday these recipients will become self-suffi cient Even the older folks receiv-ing some meager government benefi ts sent whatever they can afford

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

Mayor Sandy Javier gives back his blessings to his

hometownLeyte Samar Daily Express |

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

Quotation of the Week ldquoTo be trusted is a greater compliment than to be lovedrdquo George Macdonald

A Filipino Prophet and Colonial Mentality

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

BIGAY-BAWING PASIYA

Nakababahala ang nagaganap sa ating bayan

Ang ilang mahistrado ay tatangkaing ipatanggal

Dahil sa bigay-bawing desisyong kinasasangkutan

Pasiyang maging lungsod yaong labing-anim na bayan

Ang mga mamamayan ay nawawalan ng tiwala

Hinggil sa inilabas na kahatulang sala-sala

Ang Konstitusyon ng bansa ay lantarang sinisira

Kodigong dapat sundirsquoy tahasang binabale-wala

Ang Kataas-taasang Hukuman ang huling dulugan

Ng mga usaping ang hanap ay pawang kawastuan

Ibayong pag-iingat at ang masusing pag-aaral

Para maitumpak lahat katarungarsquoy mapairal

Ngunirsquot ano ang nangyayari sa kodigorsquoy lumiliwas

Binabago ang batayan ang tuntunirsquoy nilalabag

Malinaw sa Saligang Batas at doorsquoy nasasaad

Mga bayang ginawang lungsod ay lsquodi karapatdapat

lsquoDi iilang ulit pagiging lungsod ay pinayagan

Matapos pagtalakayan ang pasiyarsquoy pinalitan

At sa muling paghaharap ay tinutulan na naman

Na ang kahuli-hulihan ay pagsang-ayong tuluyan

Mayroon kayang gantimpala sa kanilang ginawa

Na hindi nabubunyag at inililihim sa madla

Palibhasarsquoy nahirati sa tiwaling namahala

Huwad ang nagtalaga na sa kanilarsquoy kumalinga

Ano bang reputasyon ang dapat na pakaingatan

Ng mga nakatogang sa mali ay nakakaramay

Ang tanging naging puhunarsquoy lakas sa kinakapitan

Inang mapagkunwari sa kapangyariharsquoy gahaman

Paano na itong bansa kung hahayaang maganap

Nababago kahit di susugan ang Saligang Batas

Tagapagtanggol ng matuwidrsquoy naliligaw ng landas

Ano ang kahahantungan ano ang magiging wakas Ika-15 ng Abril 2011

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

Cars Land at Disney(Continued from page 13)

fi cer of The Walt Disney Company Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts John Lasseter chief creative offi cer Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios and voice actors from the ldquoCarsrdquo movie As celebrities walked the carpet the Goodyear blimp ldquoSpirit of Americardquo fl ew overhead providing aerial coverage of the celebration

Grand opening ceremonies began with an onscreen remote broadcast of ldquoCarsrdquo stars Lightning McQueen and Mater racing across the highways of America on their way to welcome guests at the premiere Staggs and Lasseter welcomed voice talent from the movie on the stage leading up to a spectacular grand fi nale ndash the arrival of Lightning and Mater in Cars Land a chorus of roller-skaters and dancing mechanics the electrifying light-up of the neon signs that line Route 66 and a stunning fi reworks display over the mountain range of Ornament Valley

ldquoThe crown jewel of our Disney California Adventure expansion Cars Land is the extraordinary result of a close collaboration between the gifted fi lmmak-ers at Pixar Animation Studios and our talented Imagineers and cast membersrdquo Iger said ldquoItrsquos also a spectacular example of our ability to take our characters and stories and bring them to life in new and unexpected waysrdquo

ldquoMore than fi ve years ago we em-barked on a journey to realize Bob Igerrsquos vision of transforming Disney California Adventure with new attractions featur-ing our most iconic characters includ-ing Mater Lightning McQueen and the residents of Radiator Springsrdquo said Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts ldquoCars Land immerses guests in the world of lsquoCarsrsquo like never before and combines the imagination of Pixar with the creativity innovation and legend-ary storytelling that are the hallmarks of a Disney Parks experiencerdquo

ldquoWhile I love all of the movies wersquove made at Pixar the lsquoCarsrsquo fi lms are particularly close to my heart so seeing Radiator Springs come to life at Disney California Adventure is a dream come truerdquo Lasseter said ldquoThe artistry and attention to detail throughout Cars Land is absolutely incredible and I couldnrsquot be more proud of the teams at Pixar and Walt Disney Imagineering who worked side-by-side to make this project a realityrdquo

The thrilling additions of Cars Land Buena Vista Street and the Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge at Disney California Adventure add to the storytell-ing magic of the Disneyland Resort a world-class family vacation destination in Southern California with two theme parks three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district

Cars Land invites guests to explore ldquothe cutest little town in Carburetor Countyrdquo where they will enjoy three family attrac-tions showcasing places and characters from the movie Luigirsquos Flying Tires Materrsquos Junkyard Jamboree and Radiator Springs Racers one of the largest and most elaborate attractions created for a Disney theme park

Themed shops and restaurants also look familiar to fans of the movie including

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

MIS-LABELED PEOPLE

The buzz was about the impeachment wherever I went

The unprecedented convic-tion of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court the fi rst in our history and unheard of in any democratic country in recent years is a loud declara-tion to the worldnotdagger that many Filipinos will no longer accept passively the label that we are the corrupt man of Asia

By simply making honesty the highest measure of leader-ship and good citizenship we can gain global trust open the fl oodgates of investments and re-brandnotdagger the Philippines as the new wonder economy of Asia

The Filipino brand will mean top quality ethical products good busi-ness climate unmatched hospitality happy and hard-working people and strong moral governance

Business responds positively to transparency and accountability

Only after two years with an hon-est President the Philippine stock market is the most stable in the re-gion our 64 GDP in the last quarter was second only to China We are one notch belownotdagger investment grade after several credit upgrades While the dark clouds of recession and

depression hover over Europe and America the light is shining through our emerging landscape

Defi nitely the grass is getting greener and the sky is becoming bluer in the Philippines

CHANGING MINDSETS

sbquoAumlregThis radical optimism towards the homeland after years of self-exile and self-bashing pervaded the air of rejoicing at the successful GK Hope Ball (June 2) and the Inde-pendence Day parade (June 3) at the Big Apple where Gawad Kalinga volunteers formed the fi rst human marching fl ag along Madison Ave It was the same spirit that energised the GK Global Summit 2012 in To-ronto the following week (June 8-9) Pride was no longer in the singular achievement of Manny Pacquiao or Jessica Sanchez or indignation over their loss but in every Filipino hero participating in nation-building

Gawad Kalinga by building over 2000 communities through the sweat and tears of over a million volunteers from various sectors has shown that the Filipino is now in the game to win not just a perennial spectator or fan

The nobility ofnotdagger sacrifi ce for country in the GK way of ldquopadugordquo - bleeding for the cause - is bringing out what is honorable in our people

GK is a mind-changerFrom a country-basher the Filipino

learns to be a nation-builderFrom a love of power and money

he learns the greater love for the poor and his country

Our greatest challenge is for more Filipinos to learn that integrity is more powerful than money

CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS

ldquoThe result of the impeachment conducted through a true democratic process gained for us the admiration of the global community President Aquinorsquos visit next week to meet President Obama is causing excite-ment in DCrdquo This was the message to us of Philippine Ambassador to

the United States Joey Cuisia at our table conversation as he himself could not contain his amazement at the size of the crowd at the GK Hope Ball many of them doctors and nurses more eager to help the country now that there is clear proof of decency in governance

Christopher Thornley the Cana-dian Ambassador to the Philippines was no less enthusiastic in declaring his optimism the following week at the GK Global Summit in Toronto ldquoI have great affection for the Philip-pines and a big admiration for GK - they bring out the best in peoplerdquo was his sincere comment from a fi rst hand experience as a volunteer with his 11 year old son in the Telus Sunlife and Manulife GK villages in Metro Manila

UNDERVALUED COUNTRY

At the round-table meeting he or-ganised with a dozen Canadian cor-porations and institutions - notably

Sunlife Blackberry(RIM) Bombar-dier SNC- Lavalin York University - the mood was upbeat from the top executives present Their comments were mostly encouraging

ldquoThe Philippines is the underval-ued economy of Asiardquo

ldquoThe effort of the present Philip-pine government to curb corruption will attract more Canadian inves-torsrdquo

ldquoIts more viable to put up a busi-ness hub for Asia in Manila where the cost of living is lower compe-tent executives and skilled workers are available and everyone speaks Englishrdquo

ldquoFilipinos are outstanding citizens in Canada - they are our biggest immigrants in the last two years surpassing the Chinese and the Indiansrdquo

ldquoNow Canada has to compete with other countries to attract the most qualifi ed Filipinos to comerdquo

Not to fault Canada but the bright-est and the best from the Philippines are being harvested by rich coun-tries that did not spend to raise and educate them It would be wise that they invest not just in business in the Philippines but also in the education of our poor if they see Filipinos as their fi rst choice for future immi-grants

Our country is a gold-mine of human treasures but many are still covered with dirt in the neglected slums and in the abandoned coun-tryside waiting to be discovered and polishednotdagger for their true value to come out

A SEASON OF HOPE

This is my fi rst visit to North America in nearly half a century where the mood everywhere I went both among Filipinos and foreigners alike is positive and hopeful about our often battered country not only by natural calamities but by bashing from Filipinos themselves

It is an astounding paradigm shift to those raised with a colonial

Synopsis

When George Madrid the affable young priest arrived at the town of Santa Lucia he welcomed the idea of working with the sacadas impoverished farm workers toil-ing in the rice paddies of a tropical island paradise Born and bred a city boy and knowing little of rural life the newly-ordained cleric encounters widespread suffering among the poor exploited powerless peasantry -- simple folks who cower in fear of the dictatorial regimersquos abusive mili-tary forces and who are exploited by affl uent self-serving land-owners and radicalized by Maoist-inspired insurgents

In the chaos following a village-wide massacre Father George feels compelled to join the underground insurgency movement He eventu-ally rises to the top echelons of the Communist Party of the Philip-pines Father George Madrid now Kumander Gusi third in command of the dreaded New Peoplersquos Army becomes the main target of a nation-wide manhunt

At every turn the priest turned rebel is haunted by his decision Was

defecting the right thing to do Was he truly liberating the poor and the oppressed Or was he simply living the romanticized life of a revolution-ary

Fourteen years of living as a fugitive and enduring hundreds of skirmishes Kumander Gusi is still searching for answers when the charismatic former senator Benigno ldquoNinoyrdquo Aquino returning from exile in the United States is brutally gunned down at the Manila Interna-tional Airport

When ldquoPeople Powerrdquo mass protests on February 22-25 1986 plunge the Philippines into the raging throes of a populist revolu-tion the cleric turned communist commander fi nds himself laboring with friends and enemies to steer their beloved country through a historically turbulent and perilously unpredictable course

Can he avert a national catastro-phe Will he fi nally fi nd redemption for himself

This historical novel is dedicated to the thousands who lost their lives during the dark nights of Martial Law in the Philippines (1972-1986)

And to Benigno Ninoy Aquino and Redemptorist priest Father Rudy Romano

Prologue

Sunday August 21 1983 Manila International Airporthellip

The pilots of China Airline fl ight 813 switched gears The tower had cleared them for touch down A large crowd standing in the af-ternoon sun to welcome Benigno Ninoy Aquino the exiled former Senator and charismatic opposition leader of the Marcos dictatorship are cordoned off by police and air-port security but continue to wave in eager anticipation

As the plane taxis passengers aboard the jumbo jet are told not to disembark until further instruc-tion When the plane stops three uniformed and armed government soldiers board the aircraft They approach and encircle Aquino He

appears calm and smiling but be-comes slightly apprehensive as he is ominously escorted out of the plane through the rear door The exit door is blocked and no one gets a clear view of Aquino as he descends to the tarmac

Then a barrage of gunshots are heard The senator slumps to the ground struck in the head Two soldiers quickly haul Aquino into a van which speeds away

The priest stares at the TV screen in the hospital lobby for the longest time Grainy video clips of the outra-geous assassination is replayed over and over again as journalists report the news to a stunned nation of 52 million and commentators attempt to explain the senseless killing

Father George Madrid briefl y looks at the crowd milling around the hospital foyer He picks up his crutches not quite certain where he was headed to or what he was going to do next

Philippine Independence Day parade in Madison Avenue in New York

By Zena Sultana Babao

Mind and body work together ndash once the mind improves or deteriorates the body does too and vice versa The Romans of old were right when they said ldquomens sana en corpore sanordquo which in English means ldquoa sound mind in a sound bodyrdquo

A study about aging well was conducted by the Harvard Medi-cal School wherein over 800 men and women were closely followed from their teen years until they were in their 80rsquos Over the years these people were given tests physically examined by doctors and inter-viewed by psychiatrists The fi nd-ings of the doctors and psychiatrists were then evaluated

The study was a medical rarity because it examined the lives of the well not the sick Then Parade magazine reported the fi ndings after interviewing the studyrsquos director A major fi nding is that good genes do not account for better aging Neither did income The study disputed the assumption that aging results in decay

Advancing age may impair some motor skills but maturity can make people even sharper if your know what to do If maturity can make people sharper then the dreaded onslaught of Alzheimerrsquos could be kept at bay

Our memory fades and itrsquos normal and we call that lapse ldquosenior mo-mentsrdquo What we need to know is how to keep our minds sharp Here are some recommendations to do that

LIVE A FULL HEART Look towards the future Anticipate plan and hope Have a sense of gratitude forgiveness and optimism See the glass as half-full instead of half-empty Practice empathy Step into someone elsersquos shoes and see how others feel

SAY NO TO NICOTINE Those who quit the habit before they are 50 are as healthy as those who never smoked Too much nicotine can re-sult in premature aging even death

LEARN TO ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES Cope with stress Make lemonade out of lemons Keep your sense of humor You will enjoy life better if you can take the ups and downs of life

KEEP YOUR WEIGHT DOWN Obesity leads to all kinds of dis-eases like diabetes high blood pressure and Alzheimerrsquos Obesity is the number one health problem in America today

WORK ON HAVING A STRONG MARRIAGE A good marriage con-tributes to a long and healthy life (However if you are married to a habitual womanizer who constantly puts you down and he is ashamed of you no matter how good you are and how good you look life is hell)

NEVER STOP LEARNING People who continue to learn have a longer lease in life No matter how old you are itrsquos never too late to learn more Reading and public speaking keep you mentally sharp It is said that your most productive years are when you are no longer young

BOOST YOUR ENERGY LEV-EL In todayrsquos fast-paced world many of us are juggling so many activities that we end up totally worn

out and burned out and energy level plummets down to zero Without energy our body grinds down to a halt

What we need is to recharge our body to maintain a high level of en-ergy By recharging we can be sure that our body functions optimally Here are some simple things we can do to boost our energy level

STABILIZE OUR BLOOD SUG-AR Quick energy snacks like candy bars and soda may boost energy but only temporarily They leave us more tired than energetic because refi ned sugars are digested quickly and lead to a rapid rise in our blood sugar level Itrsquos much better to eat slow-energy food like fi sh chicken eggs and turkey Non-starchy veg-etables like broccoli and caulifl ower and fi ber-rich food like berries and apples are good sources of energy

KEEP YOUR MOOD UP High-energy people are enthusiastic about what they so If you have waning energy have frequent down days or suffer serious bouts of depression it would be best to consult a doctor

INCREASE ENERGY-BOOST-ING ACTIVITIES Physical activity like exercise builds and strengthens our muscles If we are in shape we are more energetic and are better able to handle stress If strenuous exercise is not possible even a 20-minute walk three times a week will be benefi cial The more regular and intense our exercise is ndash the better the benefi ts

LEARN TO UNWIND Stress can drain us Work commuting and family frustrations are the most com-mon causes of stress Lifersquos stresses activate a broad range of hormonal and immune responses These can lead to aches and pains and diseases we donrsquot want to acquire

To unwind we need good stress-reducing activities like yoga tai chi guided imagery or visualization Qi Gong (a Chinese practice that uses movement to promote energy) and other forms of physical and mental exercise Reading good books especially the Bible is a great way to unwind

GET ENOUGH SLEEP Nothing undermines our energy more than lack of sleep If we are so sleepy we could not function or think normally Although each one of us has different sleep needs and the amount vary from person to person we can safely say that those chroni-cally tired people are those who are sleep deprived

If you are like me who cannot sleep after drinking a cup of coffee in the afternoon drink something soothing like warm milk instead Listening to soft mellow music or reading good books let me sleep I donrsquot know about you but counting sheep doesnrsquot work for me -- zena-sultanahotmailcom

SAN DIEGO June 27 2012 ndash As part of its 2012 Environmental Champions Initiative San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) today announced that it will contribute $1 million to lo-cal environmental non-profit organiza-tions in San Diego County and south Orange County

SDGampE is welcoming proposals from non-profit environmental organi-zations for pro-grams that en-gage and educate young people in the commu-nity as stewards of the environ-ment in the areas of ecosystem awareness en-vironmental conservation and energy and water efficiency

Winning organizations can receive up to $25000 for individual projects and up to $50000 for collaborative projects with partner environmental non-profit organizations This initiative is limited to environmental education and community engagement programs administered in SDGampErsquos territory

ldquoThe San Diego region is home to hundreds of non-profit organizations whose programs engage kids and communities in our local environment SDGampE is proud to partner with many of these non-profits in support of our shared commitment to the environ-

ment and environmental steward-shiprdquo said Pedro Villegas director of community relations for SDGampE ldquoThrough support of our partner non-profit organizations we also seek to provide underserved communities with access to environmental education and engagement programs access that may not be available otherwiserdquo

New Law Increases Public Access to Digital Criminal

Case Information San Diego County District At-

torney Bonnie M Dumanis an-nounced today that Assembly Bill 2222 sponsored by the District Attorneyrsquos Office and authored by Assemblyman Marty Block has passed the California State Senate by a unanimous vote AB 2222 would allow prosecutors in the state to use electronically-stored information stored in their case management databases to run queries and obtain valuable information in response to public records act requests AB 2222 now goes to Governor Jerry

Brown for his signatureldquoOur office strives for government

transparency but current laws are lagging behind technology when it comes to electronic records AB 2222 updates those laws allowing us to respond to the many Public Re-cords Act (PRA) requests we receive every year more efficiently while still complying with the statutes that protect victims and restrict informa-tion like an individualrsquos criminal historyrdquo said Dumanis

Increasingly District Attorneys across California are converting to paperless case files and paperless record keeping Many of those case management systems contain a large amount of detail about a case Cur-

DA-Sponsored Transparency Bill Gets Unanimous Approval from State Senate

rently Public Records Act requests can potentially require the disclosure of information that other statutes currently prohibit

The end result of this conflict is lawsuits for failure to disclose information required by the PRA the expenditure of resources for inefficient searches for information which could be avoided through the use of the electronic case manage-ment system and the appearance of secrecy rather than transparency

AB 2222 amends Penal Code Section 13300 to allow prosecutors to use their electronic case manage-ment databases to run queries and obtain the information that may be disclosed under the California Public Records Act

ldquoWe are sincere in our effort to use our electronic case management system to respond to public records requests and AB 2222 will allow us to do this in a cost-efficient way while complying with current lawrdquo Dumanis said

SB 1264 adds university and college athletic coaches to

mandated reporters list

SACRAMENTO CA (June 26 2012) - California State Assembly Committee on Public Safety today unanimously approved State Senator Juan Vargasrsquo (D-Chula Vista) Senate Bill 1264 which would add all levels of university coaching staff to the list of mandated reporters The bill will next be heard in the Assembly Appropria-tions Com-mittee

ldquoOur childrenrsquos safety must always come firstrdquo said Senator Vargas ldquoToday we are one step closer to making University coaches of every level accountable for reporting sexual abuse and ensuring that no one will get away with protecting their team over the innocence of a childrdquo

SB 1264 which would add any athletic coach including an assistant coach or a graduate assistant involved in coaching at public or private post-secondary institutions to the existing list of mandated reporters as speci-fied in the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act This bill is a neces-sary step in closing the loophole in the current structure of the mandated reporter requirements in order to

ensure that our children are protected and stems from Senator Vargasrsquo read of the federal Grand Jury report in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case at Penn State University

About the Sandusky CaseAt the end of 2011 prosecutors

filed criminal charges against Jerry Sandusky the assistant football coach at Penn State for nearly fifteen years for alleged sexual abuse charges In the case against Sandusky the Grand Jury found that there had been at least

eight victims of sexual assaults throughout his career at Penn State The former head coach of the Penn State football team Joe Pa-

terno allegedly knew of instances of sexual abuse but failed to report these directly to Child Welfare Services Instead he reported to a supervisor who also failed to report to Child Welfare Services

SDGampE Expects to Meet Summer Pow-er Supply Demand

Sunrise Powerlink Conservation Demand-Response Programs will be Key in Helping Local Electric

Grid When Needed

SAN DIEGO June 14 2012 ndash Sum-mer typically means warmer weather and increased air conditioning use This summer San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) is reminding customers that while adequate electricity sup-plies are lined up to meet customersrsquo energy needs conservation and demand response will still be vital during extremely hot weather or an unplanned power plant outage or transmission line emergency

ldquoSDGampE has been working hard to plan for the summer to ensure that customersrsquo summer electricity needs are metrdquo said Jessie J Knight Jr SDGampErsquos chairman and chief executive officer ldquoWhen the Sunrise Powerlink is energized this will help increase the local power supply and improve the situation in San Diego by increasing the amount of imports into the regionrdquo

Despite having adequate electric re-sources conditions are subject to change due to unexpected situations that may be out of our control High air condi-tioning use during summer heat waves or electric transmission emergencies can have severe impacts on SDGampErsquos ability to deliver power ldquoSouthern California faces a challenging electrical resource situation this summer because the regionrsquos largest power plant the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station will remain offline for most of the summerrdquo added Michael R Niggli SDGampErsquos president and chief operating officer ldquoIf we have a lengthy heat wave we may have to call on customers to reduce their energy use As a result SDGampE is encouraging customers to make energy conservation a habitrdquo

The California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO) the agency responsible for managing the bulk of the statersquos power grid issued its 2012 Sum-mer Assessment confirming adequate supplies for most of California Over 283 megawatts (MW) of new generation resources were added to the ISO grid in the second half of 2011 with an esti-mated 926 MW coming on line by July 1 2012 This will primarily be renew-able generation such as solar and wind

The ISO is also increasing demand response and conservation awareness including bringing back the Flex Alerts public awareness campaign alerting customers when to conserve electricity

ldquoIf the ISO issues a Flex Alert we

nity to submit their applica-tions until July 27 Pref-erence will be given to environmental programs that target one or more of the following areas natural resource conservation

and protection habitat preservation and restoration energy efficiency and wasterecycling SDGampE plans to an-nounce the winners in September

SDGampE is a regulated public utility that provides safe and reliable energy service to 34 million consumers through 14 million electric meters and more than 850000 natural gas meters in San Diego and southern Orange counties The utilityrsquos area spans 4100 square miles SDGampE is committed to creating ways to help our custom-ers save energy and money every day SDGampE is a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (NYSE SRE) a Fortune 500 energy services holding company based in San Diego

My Positive Vision for the

PhilippinesBy Cesar D Candari

MDrsquo61 FCAP Emeritus

AS I WRITE this article today the Corona Impeachment Trial ended and the Scarborough Shoal confl ict still covered incessantly the media as a major signifi cant issue a crisis in the south China Sea which to me is frightening sign of what is going to happen Wrong ideas are still in the minds of our intellectuals in the Philippines

Government is a kleptocracy and a family dynasty The nepotism and cronyism that infest the Philippines public life will stay Corruption will persist for the upper economic and political classes in the Philippines It is rampant in these socio-economic and political strata The oligarchic classes are a status quo in Philippine Society-- based on a monopolistic access to material resources and po-litical power Quo Vadis Philippines

As the case of election sabotage against GM Arroyo shall be on trial soon (when is soon) a huge question is how it will end The darkest hour in our judicial history apparently was resolved We have been dragged to the opposite side of delicadeza of honor of integrity I pray we have crossed that bridge and rebuild our dignity from the debris A positive point may be is the fact that we have seen its ugliness its nauseating effect and everything else that doesnrsquot nurture life It was

as though what people suspected were affi rmed beyond the shadow of a doubt ndash that Rene Corona was dirty

The territorial squabbles with China are a problem American bases were kicked out and see what is happening now - the Spratleys- Chinesersquos recent incursion in the Scarborough Shoal - surely to be taken over by China The US doesnrsquot care

Why Filipino nationalists kicked out the American bases Did we improve in many things because we kicked them out Absolutely no

For tomorrow on a positive note President Aquino is determined to turn the corner by instituting genuine wide-ranging mean-ingful reform and acting on its belief that good governance is the bedrock of equitable progress

The President Noynoy Aquino said he is now tackling the problem of graft and corruption He said ldquoIt is with this principle in mind that we have allocated unprecedented sums to alleviate extreme poverty and are concen-trating on providing more opportunities for employ-mentrdquo

There are some signs that the country ndash with its young population of nearly 100 millions people the worldrsquos 12th largest ndash has turned a corner There are three reasons to be hopeful if not yet exactly cheerful

bull First the Philippines after years of indebtedness is a net credi-tor

Overseas remittances from the roughly 8 millions Filipinos work-ing abroad have steadily added to foreign exchange reserves At nearly $80 billions these are higher than the external debt Revenues from back offi ce businesses have quin-

tupled over six years from $200 to $11 Billions

bull Second the country is getting its fi scal house in order The defi cit has narrowed from a worry-ing 5-6 per cent a decade ago to a manageable 2 per cent

bull Third the political situ-ation is vastly improved Benigno ldquoNoynoyrdquo Aquino elected president in 2010 has made a creditable start For one his government has sent out a strong message that it will not tolerate corruption ldquoThy will be

donerdquo

The Philippines in my view is

not a hopeless case The perennial question - Will it degenerate into a greater social political and eco-nomic tragedy

The impeachment of Corona ended He was found guilty

Indeed the truth prevailed This is a resounding impact to all Fili-pinos sending a message loud and clear that there must be accountabil-ity and transparency in our leaders in government

Social entre-preneurship

The View From Taft Florenz C Tugas BusinessWorld Online

The Department of Tour-ism recently launched its campaign on 100

and more reasons why it is more fun in the Philippines This has made Filipinos ev-erywhere feel more proud of their country and has created a way of enticing foreigners to come to the Philippines

This is especially good for the economy but if we want to be stra-tegic about creating jobs to alleviate poverty we have to think beyond the obvious

Aside from targeting foreign tour-ists I propose that we redirect our efforts to ensure that Filipinos stay in the Philippines not because of blind faith nationalism or patrio-tism but because of the many great

Com men tary tary things this country has to offer

I AM PROPOSING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND IN-NOVATION a more sustainable and results-oriented initiative Rather than seek employment and depend largely on imports for the goods and services we need daily we can create businesses that cater to these needs and consequently provide employment

What we are experiencing now can be attributed partly to how we have been conditioned -- that right after graduation we should seek employ-ment Very often the big dream is to land a job in a multinational company

This is good donrsquot get me wrong But this opportunity is usually available only to the elite whom the hiring criteria favor The unemploy-ment fi gures tell us that most of our graduates have not yet realized their dreams Now is the best time for academe to advocate that starting a business is an option for the more than 500000 students who graduate yearly

Early this year I had the oppor-tunity to visit the Enchanted Farm of Gawad Kalinga (GK) in Angat Bulacan The Farm is GKrsquos platform to follow through what it had started which is building homes for the com-munity Through the Farm GK is providing livelihood to the community

During that visit I was inspired by how the community had been structured Social entrepreneurs enable their adopted community to contribute to the huge task of nation-building These social entrepreneurs are college students fresh college graduates and those who used to be employed but who later decided to

pursue social entrepreneurship They created jobs for the community by using raw materials sourced from the Farm

In the Farm I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of interns from other Asian countries Europe and the Americas They are there to learn not only about our culture but also (and more importantly) about the social enterprise platform of the Farm They see much hope for the Philippines Yes they believe that Philippines has the potential to grow and become a developed economy

Quite ironic isnrsquot it They see it but we do not As Tony Meloto the man behind GK puts it Is it always like this That we Filipinos are the last to realize that being a Filipino is a blessing and that having the Philip-pines as our home is among the best gifts from God

His rhetorical questions made me realize that God had not made a mistake when He made us Filipinos The best time to truly be a Filipino is now We have to go back to the basics and appreciate that we are a nation with rich and vast natural resources including some fl ora and fauna that can be found only in our country We have to leverage on this to start our social enterprises that

will pro-vide jobs to the com-munity

The response of the students faculty and admin-istration of the Ramon

V Del Rosario College of Business has been overwhelming In fact at the start of De La Sallersquos second centennial we will push for a year-long program of sustainable aware-ness and involvement in the Farm putting up our own social enterprise in and for the community

Florenz C Tugas is the External Affairs Director of the Ramon V Del Rosario College of Business of De La Salle University A full-time faculty member of the Accountancy Department he specializes in Audit-ing and Assurance and Management of Information Technology courses He can be reached at fl orenztugasdlsueduph The views expressed above are the authorrsquos and do not necessarily refl ect the offi cial posi-tion of De La Salle University its faculty and its administrators

I canrsquot believe that itrsquos actu-ally time for my son to get

his learners permit

Herersquos a way to start feeling a bit older your child turns old enough for his learnerrsquos permithellipand wants one now Today Right now pop Please Can I Huh Can I have one Please pop Please can I get my learners permit Can I Huh Pop can I

Well I supposehellip Okay yes He can get his learners permit That means downloading the handbook for him to study plus practice tests and more It also means at least for

residents of California a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicle where you get a copy of application form DL 44 (yes you have to go get one) Why canrsquot it be downloaded from the DMV website you ask Well donrsquot bother It canrsquot so go get it

Here are the steps necessary to take for a learners permit

bullBe at least 15 frac12 but under 18 years of age

bullVisit a DMV offi ce (make an Ap-pointment online for faster service)

Complete and submit an original application form DL 44 (Only an original DL 44 form will be accept-ed Copies obtained by photocopy-ing faxing or other methods will not be accepted)

Provide your social security number on the DL 44 It will be verifi ed with the Social Security Administration while you are in the offi ce

Have both of your parentsrsquo or guardiansrsquo signatures on the DL 44 application form

NOTE When you sign your ap-plication for an instruction permitdriver license you agree to submit to a chemical test to determine the al-cohol or drug content of your blood when required by a peace offi cer If you refuse to sign this statement on your driver license application DMV will not issue a permit or license

bullGive a thumb print bullHave your picture taken bullBring your original birth certifi -

cate or a certifi ed copy If you are not a US-born citizen you must provide proof that you are a legal US resident

bullProvide your full legal name bullSubmit the proper form(s) for

driver education andor driver train-ing classes (See below for details)

bullPay the application fee (This fee entitles you to three exams of any

type within the 12-month period and pays for both the permit and the driver license If all requirements are not met within the 12-month period the application becomes void and all steps must be completed again)

bullPass a vision exam bullPass a traffi c laws and sign test

You must get at least 38 questions right out of 46 You will have 3 chances to take the test but if you fail a test you must wait 7 days be-fore taking the test again If you fail the test all 3 times you must start over by fi lling out a new DL 44

bullCompleted driver educationor bullCompleted driver education and

driver training or bullEnrolled and participating in an

approved integrated driver educa-tiondriver training program

An out-of-state driving instruction-al permit is not acceptable proof of driver education and driver training

As soon as you pass your written test you will be issued a permit

A parent guardian spouse or adult 25 years of age or older who has a valid California driver license must be with you when you drive He or she must sit in the front seat in order to take control of the vehicle if necessary It is illegal for you to drive alone at any time For a period of 12 months you may not transport passengers under age 20 unless you are accompanied by a parent guard-ian instructor or licensed driver over the age of 25 and you may not drive between 11 pm and 5 am

It was a bit different when I got my learners permit Irsquom not sure if that was because the laws were different then or because I received mine in Florida and not California When it was time to get my permit a friend

took me to the Florida DMV offi ce in Ft Lauderdale I showed them my birth certifi cate paid a small fee and got the piece of paper that said I could start driving with a grownup I didnrsquot even have to attend a driverrsquos ed program

We drove home and I walked in the door and announced to my parents that I now had my learners permit and would appreciate any opportunity to drive with them They went a bit pale but said okay And thatrsquos when I started driving

It obviously wonrsquot be that way with my son but what the heck hersquoll learn to be a good defensive driver At least thatrsquos the plan Irsquoll keep you up to datehellipwish me luck

At least 65000 undocumented immigrant youth graduate from high schools every year and many of them struggle to attend institutes of higher education and military President Obama at last came through with a bold memorandum on June 15 2012 through the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano stating that young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own will be considered for relief from deportation known as ldquoDeferred Actionrdquo Pursuant to Sec-retary Napolitanorsquos June 15 2012 memorandum in order to be eligible for deferred action the foreign national must

SINTEFrsquos Chief Scientist Ovidiu Vermesan is working on both the Internet of Things and The Internet of Energy as part of several ma-jor EU projects The fi rst of these ambitions involves the electric car and what will be known as the smart house in which products and services providing notifi cations security energy-saving automation telecommunication computers and entertainment will be integrated into a single system with a shared user interface

Vermesan thinks that we have to be visionary if we are to achieve these impossible targets lsquoObvi-ously not everything will be in place straight away But we are develop-ing the technology in Europe right now -- demonstrating testing and developing products -- and by 2020 or 2030 we will be much nearer our targetrsquo

lsquoAnd how will all these products manage to talk to each otherrsquo lsquoThe lsquolanguagersquo will be based on a type of protocol similar to the built-in for-mula that enables our mobile phones to talk using WiFi ISA100 ZigBee or BlueToothrsquo

lsquoBut will everything really be able to talk to everything else Or will equipment in the energy sector only be able to talk to other energy-related equipment Will devices in the health service be able to commu-nicate internally and so on In other

words is IoT more of a concept than something that can become a realityrsquo

lsquoIoT is a generic term for all of the devices and lsquothingsrsquo that can perform a service and that we want to be available on the Internet Several of the things you mention can connect and share information with each other but not all of them want to make the information available -- such as banks Obviously they want to make sure that only you can have access to your personal information via your mobile or computerrsquo

Communication in the health services

In the same way as we put ID chips on products we can attach sensors to ourselves and allow them to communicate via the Web to other objects around us The health ser-vice is currently testing sensors on elderly patients living at home The sensors can monitor pulse and blood pressure The measurements can be read by the patients themselves and communicated onward to a central location via their mobiles This is a simple form of communication that does not involve the Web

In the future however technology optimists envisage a completely dif-ferent fl ow of information in which the IoT will be able to set up not only the system architecture but also the rules governing security and the fl ow of information

PhD Inge Krogstad Senior Ad-viser at Nordic CoE Health Care at the IT company SAS Institute is working on a national network for the Internet of Things in Norway He describes his scenario for the Internet of Things within the health service like this

lsquoIn the morning the lsquosystemrsquo looks up that dayrsquos surgery schedule in the activity calendar and while it is checking the dayrsquos operations it also checks traffi c information on the patientsrsquo routes to the hospital It optimises their routes so that the last patient will be fi nished at 1500 since it is Friday If there is a lot of traffi c and poor driving condi-

tions the system revises the rota sends lsquoextra rotarsquo text messages to another two employees simultane-ously adjusting the time the alarm clocks of that dayrsquos team will go off It streams key data about the dayrsquos fi rst two operations to the three employeesrsquo media devices (car radio smart phone PDA) as they travel to work at the same time as it tells the patients that the schedule has been changed because an employee is sick while it relocates all the re-sources in order to meet the revised schedulersquo

Interpretation models neededFrode Strisland at SINTEF is con-

ducting research into small portable wireless medical sensor systems that patients will be able to operate in their own homes For example many chronically ill patients will benefi t greatly from being able to understand and follow up their own illness together with their doctor Many other elderly and chronically ill patients are grateful for the sensor technology that makes life safer for them -- for example by sending an alarm if a patient has a fall

He thinks that IoT is important and will soon be offering many opportunities within the fi eld of medical follow up However he emphasises that medical information is private and must not fall into the wrong hands Nor will an IoT be of much use if it allows all the informa-tion in the world to fl ow around on the Web without anyone developing good models that can explain and interpret that information

lsquoIt would be like the Meteorologi-cal Institute only having a network of measuring stations but no inter-pretation models that could analyse the situation and make prognosesrsquo he says lsquoIoT will provide many op-portunities for us to medically moni-tor chronic patients in the future but it will be important for us to choose measuring methods that provide sound answers -- and work on devel-oping interpretation models adapted to the patients as individuals each with their own illnesses

The Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Houses Smart Traffi c Smart Health Part 1Most things involve energyOvidiu Vermesan can understand

that the new technology is hard to grasp He is coordinating the EU Internet of Energy (IoE) project and working with 40 European partners on how to make it easier for energy suppliers and consumers to intercon-nect with each othersrsquo equipment

Major changes in the energy sector in recent years mean that the need for smart fl exible energy is increas-ing and that energy production and storage facilities will have to become more coordinated Current methods mean that our electricity is supplied by large commercial en-ergy companies from coal gas and nuclear power stations

So far these centrally controlled systems have not needed to commu-nicate much with the outside world In the future however distributed energy sources provided by mul-tiple suppliers will take over These sources will come from renewable energy such as hydro wind and solar

So according to Vermesan produc-tion will be dictated by access to resources which will in turn depend on solar intensity wind strength or water fl ow For instance energy companies will have access to a lot of wind energy at certain times when users will be able to benefi t by disconnecting from other energy sources and only using wind energy Energy will be a fresh commodity

The new power gridIn the future power grid known

as the Smart Grid every facility and device will have its own IP address so that it can be monitored and con-trolled via the Internet

As consumers we will be among the fi rst proponents of the future grid via the new Advanced Meter-ing Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will be installed in our homes over the next few years This will enable us not only to understand but also control our consumption

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise and land tours to some

selected cities in Spain Italy and France Courtesy of my sister Mila Denton Goldberg and her husband Art of San Diego my wife and I enjoyed this one for free

The much-needed vacation was supposed to free me from much of the virtual digital life that Irsquove lived lately Although at the cruise ship it was almost totally Facebook Twit-ter and email-free it was not totally digital free

I brought with me my iPad iP-hone and Kindle My wife brought her MacBook Air and iPhone Of course built-in to the devices are audio recorders mp3 players video and still camerarecorders and hun-dreds of applications for several uses either off-line and online

I also had accessories to these devices that I acquired from the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and the MACWORLD

For all intents and purposes I still continued to live an electronically led life despite the original intention of getting freed precisely from it

It turned out to be great The still and video cameras built-in to the iPad and iPhone made it easier for me to record memorable events and sites I took photographs and videos of shows and activities around the ship

In Madrid I actually ldquowalked with historyrdquo With photographs and videos to show I visited the fi rst and second residences of Jose

Rizal walked to Las Cortes Espa-ntildeolas (now Congreso de Diputados) where Rizal and his friends lobbied for Philippine rights went and ate at Viva Madrid restaurant where Rizal regularly ate his meals and walked to where ldquoLa Solidaridadrdquo was published

Also within walking distance was Ateneo de Madrid where Rizal studied English and did research Within a stone throw away is the place where the Circulo Hispano is headquartered This is the associa-tion of Filipino students and Spanish

sympathizers I also walked to see the place

where the members of the Propagan-da Movement led by Lopez Jaena regularly met to plot their lobbying efforts

When Jose Rizal delivered an ac-claimed speech honoring Luna and Hidalgo and exhorting the Filipino students to follow in the footsteps of the two honorees it was done in Hotel Ingles I certainly visited the place

The technology gadgets that I brought with the corresponding apps have indeed proven useful in record-ing and storing historical memories for easy retrieval for me other par-ties and even the next generation

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

For more information please call Melanie Dulfo of the Philippine Forum at 718-565-8862 or email at mdulfophilippineforumorg

The Philippine Forum is a New York City-based not-for-profi t organization that provides direct services training and advocacy to Filipinos and people of Filipino heritage in the United States It is also a prime mover in coalitions with other immigrant groups in advocating for immigration reform

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

Keep in mind that President Obamarsquos deportation-relief order is just a temporary relief New York lawyer Cristina Godinez told the audience at the Cafeacute Migrante fo-rum on June 24 at the Bayanihan Community Center in Woodside New York

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

It is good to hear stories from other Filipinos who tried their best in helping

relatives back in the Philip-pines Most of them were doing this noble acts for many years now and donrsquot expect anything back but just a hope that someday these recipients will become self-suffi cient Even the older folks receiv-ing some meager government benefi ts sent whatever they can afford

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

SAN DIEGO June 27 2012 ndash As part of its 2012 Environmental Champions Initiative San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) today announced that it will contribute $1 million to lo-cal environmental non-profit organiza-tions in San Diego County and south Orange County

SDGampE is welcoming proposals from non-profit environmental organi-zations for pro-grams that en-gage and educate young people in the commu-nity as stewards of the environ-ment in the areas of ecosystem awareness en-vironmental conservation and energy and water efficiency

Winning organizations can receive up to $25000 for individual projects and up to $50000 for collaborative projects with partner environmental non-profit organizations This initiative is limited to environmental education and community engagement programs administered in SDGampErsquos territory

ldquoThe San Diego region is home to hundreds of non-profit organizations whose programs engage kids and communities in our local environment SDGampE is proud to partner with many of these non-profits in support of our shared commitment to the environ-

ment and environmental steward-shiprdquo said Pedro Villegas director of community relations for SDGampE ldquoThrough support of our partner non-profit organizations we also seek to provide underserved communities with access to environmental education and engagement programs access that may not be available otherwiserdquo

Organizations will have an opportu-

New Law Increases Public Access to Digital Criminal

Case Information San Diego County District At-

torney Bonnie M Dumanis an-nounced today that Assembly Bill 2222 sponsored by the District Attorneyrsquos Office and authored by Assemblyman Marty Block has passed the California State Senate by a unanimous vote AB 2222 would allow prosecutors in the state to use electronically-stored information stored in their case management databases to run queries and obtain valuable information in response to public records act requests AB 2222 now goes to Governor Jerry

Brown for his signatureldquoOur office strives for government

transparency but current laws are lagging behind technology when it comes to electronic records AB 2222 updates those laws allowing us to respond to the many Public Re-cords Act (PRA) requests we receive every year more efficiently while still complying with the statutes that protect victims and restrict informa-tion like an individualrsquos criminal historyrdquo said Dumanis

Increasingly District Attorneys across California are converting to paperless case files and paperless record keeping Many of those case management systems contain a large amount of detail about a case Cur-

DA-Sponsored Transparency Bill Gets Unanimous Approval from State Senate

rently Public Records Act requests can potentially require the disclosure of information that other statutes currently prohibit

The end result of this conflict is lawsuits for failure to disclose information required by the PRA the expenditure of resources for inefficient searches for information which could be avoided through the use of the electronic case manage-ment system and the appearance of secrecy rather than transparency

AB 2222 amends Penal Code Section 13300 to allow prosecutors to use their electronic case manage-ment databases to run queries and obtain the information that may be disclosed under the California Public Records Act

ldquoWe are sincere in our effort to use our electronic case management system to respond to public records requests and AB 2222 will allow us to do this in a cost-efficient way while complying with current lawrdquo Dumanis said

SB 1264 adds university and college athletic coaches to

mandated reporters list

SACRAMENTO CA (June 26 2012) - California State Assembly Committee on Public Safety today unanimously approved State Senator Juan Vargasrsquo (D-Chula Vista) Senate Bill 1264 which would add all levels of university coaching staff to the list of mandated reporters The bill will next be heard in the Assembly Appropria-tions Com-mittee

ldquoOur childrenrsquos safety must always come firstrdquo said Senator Vargas ldquoToday we are one step closer to making University coaches of every level accountable for reporting sexual abuse and ensuring that no one will get away with protecting their team over the innocence of a childrdquo

SB 1264 which would add any athletic coach including an assistant coach or a graduate assistant involved in coaching at public or private post-secondary institutions to the existing list of mandated reporters as speci-fied in the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act This bill is a neces-sary step in closing the loophole in the current structure of the mandated reporter requirements in order to

ensure that our children are protected and stems from Senator Vargasrsquo read of the federal Grand Jury report in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case at Penn State University

About the Sandusky CaseAt the end of 2011 prosecutors

filed criminal charges against Jerry Sandusky the assistant football coach at Penn State for nearly fifteen years for alleged sexual abuse charges In the case against Sandusky the Grand Jury found that there had been at least

eight victims of sexual assaults throughout his career at Penn State The former head coach of the Penn State football team Joe Pa-

terno allegedly knew of instances of sexual abuse but failed to report these directly to Child Welfare Services Instead he reported to a supervisor who also failed to report to Child Welfare Services

SDGampE Expects to Meet Summer Pow-er Supply Demand

Sunrise Powerlink Conservation Demand-Response Programs will be Key in Helping Local Electric

Grid When Needed

SAN DIEGO June 14 2012 ndash Sum-mer typically means warmer weather and increased air conditioning use This summer San Diego Gas amp Electric (SDGampE) is reminding customers that while adequate electricity sup-plies are lined up to meet customersrsquo energy needs conservation and demand response will still be vital during extremely hot weather or an unplanned power plant outage or transmission line emergency

ldquoSDGampE has been working hard to plan for the summer to ensure that customersrsquo summer electricity needs are metrdquo said Jessie J Knight Jr SDGampErsquos chairman and chief executive officer ldquoWhen the Sunrise Powerlink is energized this will help increase the local power supply and improve the situation in San Diego by increasing the amount of imports into the regionrdquo

Despite having adequate electric re-sources conditions are subject to change due to unexpected situations that may be out of our control High air condi-tioning use during summer heat waves or electric transmission emergencies can have severe impacts on SDGampErsquos ability to deliver power ldquoSouthern California faces a challenging electrical resource situation this summer because the regionrsquos largest power plant the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station will remain offline for most of the summerrdquo added Michael R Niggli SDGampErsquos president and chief operating officer ldquoIf we have a lengthy heat wave we may have to call on customers to reduce their energy use As a result SDGampE is encouraging customers to make energy conservation a habitrdquo

The California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO) the agency responsible for managing the bulk of the statersquos power grid issued its 2012 Sum-mer Assessment confirming adequate supplies for most of California Over 283 megawatts (MW) of new generation resources were added to the ISO grid in the second half of 2011 with an esti-mated 926 MW coming on line by July 1 2012 This will primarily be renew-able generation such as solar and wind

The ISO is also increasing demand response and conservation awareness including bringing back the Flex Alerts public awareness campaign alerting customers when to conserve electricity

ldquoIf the ISO issues a Flex Alert we

nity to submit their applica-tions until July 27 Pref-erence will be given to environmental programs that target one or more of the following areas natural resource conservation

and protection habitat preservation and restoration energy efficiency and wasterecycling SDGampE plans to an-nounce the winners in September

SDGampE is a regulated public utility that provides safe and reliable energy service to 34 million consumers through 14 million electric meters and more than 850000 natural gas meters in San Diego and southern Orange counties The utilityrsquos area spans 4100 square miles SDGampE is committed to creating ways to help our custom-ers save energy and money every day SDGampE is a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (NYSE SRE) a Fortune 500 energy services holding company based in San Diego

My Positive Vision for the

PhilippinesBy Cesar D Candari

MDrsquo61 FCAP Emeritus

AS I WRITE this article today the Corona Impeachment Trial ended and the Scarborough Shoal confl ict still covered incessantly the media as a major signifi cant issue a crisis in the south China Sea which to me is frightening sign of what is going to happen Wrong ideas are still in the minds of our intellectuals in the Philippines

Government is a kleptocracy and a family dynasty The nepotism and cronyism that infest the Philippines public life will stay Corruption will persist for the upper economic and political classes in the Philippines It is rampant in these socio-economic and political strata The oligarchic classes are a status quo in Philippine Society-- based on a monopolistic access to material resources and po-litical power Quo Vadis Philippines

As the case of election sabotage against GM Arroyo shall be on trial soon (when is soon) a huge question is how it will end The darkest hour in our judicial history apparently was resolved We have been dragged to the opposite side of delicadeza of honor of integrity I pray we have crossed that bridge and rebuild our dignity from the debris A positive point may be is the fact that we have seen its ugliness its nauseating effect and everything else that doesnrsquot nurture life It was

as though what people suspected were affi rmed beyond the shadow of a doubt ndash that Rene Corona was dirty

The territorial squabbles with China are a problem American bases were kicked out and see what is happening now - the Spratleys- Chinesersquos recent incursion in the Scarborough Shoal - surely to be taken over by China The US doesnrsquot care

Why Filipino nationalists kicked out the American bases Did we improve in many things because we kicked them out Absolutely no

For tomorrow on a positive note President Aquino is determined to turn the corner by instituting genuine wide-ranging mean-ingful reform and acting on its belief that good governance is the bedrock of equitable progress

The President Noynoy Aquino said he is now tackling the problem of graft and corruption He said ldquoIt is with this principle in mind that we have allocated unprecedented sums to alleviate extreme poverty and are concen-trating on providing more opportunities for employ-mentrdquo

There are some signs that the country ndash with its young population of nearly 100 millions people the worldrsquos 12th largest ndash has turned a corner There are three reasons to be hopeful if not yet exactly cheerful

bull First the Philippines after years of indebtedness is a net credi-tor

Overseas remittances from the roughly 8 millions Filipinos work-ing abroad have steadily added to foreign exchange reserves At nearly $80 billions these are higher than the external debt Revenues from back offi ce businesses have quin-

tupled over six years from $200 to $11 Billions

bull Second the country is getting its fi scal house in order The defi cit has narrowed from a worry-ing 5-6 per cent a decade ago to a manageable 2 per cent

bull Third the political situ-ation is vastly improved Benigno ldquoNoynoyrdquo Aquino elected president in 2010 has made a creditable start For one his government has sent out a strong message that it will not tolerate corruption ldquoThy will be

donerdquo

The Philippines in my view is

not a hopeless case The perennial question - Will it degenerate into a greater social political and eco-nomic tragedy

The impeachment of Corona ended He was found guilty

Indeed the truth prevailed This is a resounding impact to all Fili-pinos sending a message loud and clear that there must be accountabil-ity and transparency in our leaders in government

Social entre-preneurship

The View From Taft Florenz C Tugas BusinessWorld Online

The Department of Tour-ism recently launched its campaign on 100

and more reasons why it is more fun in the Philippines This has made Filipinos ev-erywhere feel more proud of their country and has created a way of enticing foreigners to come to the Philippines

This is especially good for the economy but if we want to be stra-tegic about creating jobs to alleviate poverty we have to think beyond the obvious

Aside from targeting foreign tour-ists I propose that we redirect our efforts to ensure that Filipinos stay in the Philippines not because of blind faith nationalism or patrio-tism but because of the many great

Com men tary tary things this country has to offer

I AM PROPOSING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND IN-NOVATION a more sustainable and results-oriented initiative Rather than seek employment and depend largely on imports for the goods and services we need daily we can create businesses that cater to these needs and consequently provide employment

What we are experiencing now can be attributed partly to how we have been conditioned -- that right after graduation we should seek employ-ment Very often the big dream is to land a job in a multinational company

This is good donrsquot get me wrong But this opportunity is usually available only to the elite whom the hiring criteria favor The unemploy-ment fi gures tell us that most of our graduates have not yet realized their dreams Now is the best time for academe to advocate that starting a business is an option for the more than 500000 students who graduate yearly

Early this year I had the oppor-tunity to visit the Enchanted Farm of Gawad Kalinga (GK) in Angat Bulacan The Farm is GKrsquos platform to follow through what it had started which is building homes for the com-munity Through the Farm GK is providing livelihood to the community

During that visit I was inspired by how the community had been structured Social entrepreneurs enable their adopted community to contribute to the huge task of nation-building These social entrepreneurs are college students fresh college graduates and those who used to be employed but who later decided to

pursue social entrepreneurship They created jobs for the community by using raw materials sourced from the Farm

In the Farm I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of interns from other Asian countries Europe and the Americas They are there to learn not only about our culture but also (and more importantly) about the social enterprise platform of the Farm They see much hope for the Philippines Yes they believe that Philippines has the potential to grow and become a developed economy

Quite ironic isnrsquot it They see it but we do not As Tony Meloto the man behind GK puts it Is it always like this That we Filipinos are the last to realize that being a Filipino is a blessing and that having the Philip-pines as our home is among the best gifts from God

His rhetorical questions made me realize that God had not made a mistake when He made us Filipinos The best time to truly be a Filipino is now We have to go back to the basics and appreciate that we are a nation with rich and vast natural resources including some fl ora and fauna that can be found only in our country We have to leverage on this to start our social enterprises that

will pro-vide jobs to the com-munity

The response of the students faculty and admin-istration of the Ramon

V Del Rosario College of Business has been overwhelming In fact at the start of De La Sallersquos second centennial we will push for a year-long program of sustainable aware-ness and involvement in the Farm putting up our own social enterprise in and for the community

Florenz C Tugas is the External Affairs Director of the Ramon V Del Rosario College of Business of De La Salle University A full-time faculty member of the Accountancy Department he specializes in Audit-ing and Assurance and Management of Information Technology courses He can be reached at fl orenztugasdlsueduph The views expressed above are the authorrsquos and do not necessarily refl ect the offi cial posi-tion of De La Salle University its faculty and its administrators

I canrsquot believe that itrsquos actu-ally time for my son to get

his learners permit

Herersquos a way to start feeling a bit older your child turns old enough for his learnerrsquos permithellipand wants one now Today Right now pop Please Can I Huh Can I have one Please pop Please can I get my learners permit Can I Huh Pop can I

Well I supposehellip Okay yes He can get his learners permit That means downloading the handbook for him to study plus practice tests and more It also means at least for

residents of California a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicle where you get a copy of application form DL 44 (yes you have to go get one) Why canrsquot it be downloaded from the DMV website you ask Well donrsquot bother It canrsquot so go get it

Here are the steps necessary to take for a learners permit

bullBe at least 15 frac12 but under 18 years of age

bullVisit a DMV offi ce (make an Ap-pointment online for faster service)

Complete and submit an original application form DL 44 (Only an original DL 44 form will be accept-ed Copies obtained by photocopy-ing faxing or other methods will not be accepted)

Provide your social security number on the DL 44 It will be verifi ed with the Social Security Administration while you are in the offi ce

Have both of your parentsrsquo or guardiansrsquo signatures on the DL 44 application form

NOTE When you sign your ap-plication for an instruction permitdriver license you agree to submit to a chemical test to determine the al-cohol or drug content of your blood when required by a peace offi cer If you refuse to sign this statement on your driver license application DMV will not issue a permit or license

bullGive a thumb print bullHave your picture taken bullBring your original birth certifi -

cate or a certifi ed copy If you are not a US-born citizen you must provide proof that you are a legal US resident

bullProvide your full legal name bullSubmit the proper form(s) for

driver education andor driver train-ing classes (See below for details)

bullPay the application fee (This fee entitles you to three exams of any

type within the 12-month period and pays for both the permit and the driver license If all requirements are not met within the 12-month period the application becomes void and all steps must be completed again)

bullPass a vision exam bullPass a traffi c laws and sign test

You must get at least 38 questions right out of 46 You will have 3 chances to take the test but if you fail a test you must wait 7 days be-fore taking the test again If you fail the test all 3 times you must start over by fi lling out a new DL 44

bullCompleted driver educationor bullCompleted driver education and

driver training or bullEnrolled and participating in an

approved integrated driver educa-tiondriver training program

An out-of-state driving instruction-al permit is not acceptable proof of driver education and driver training

As soon as you pass your written test you will be issued a permit

A parent guardian spouse or adult 25 years of age or older who has a valid California driver license must be with you when you drive He or she must sit in the front seat in order to take control of the vehicle if necessary It is illegal for you to drive alone at any time For a period of 12 months you may not transport passengers under age 20 unless you are accompanied by a parent guard-ian instructor or licensed driver over the age of 25 and you may not drive between 11 pm and 5 am

It was a bit different when I got my learners permit Irsquom not sure if that was because the laws were different then or because I received mine in Florida and not California When it was time to get my permit a friend

took me to the Florida DMV offi ce in Ft Lauderdale I showed them my birth certifi cate paid a small fee and got the piece of paper that said I could start driving with a grownup I didnrsquot even have to attend a driverrsquos ed program

We drove home and I walked in the door and announced to my parents that I now had my learners permit and would appreciate any opportunity to drive with them They went a bit pale but said okay And thatrsquos when I started driving

It obviously wonrsquot be that way with my son but what the heck hersquoll learn to be a good defensive driver At least thatrsquos the plan Irsquoll keep you up to datehellipwish me luck

At least 65000 undocumented immigrant youth graduate from high schools every year and many of them struggle to attend institutes of higher education and military President Obama at last came through with a bold memorandum on June 15 2012 through the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano stating that young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own will be considered for relief from deportation known as ldquoDeferred Actionrdquo Pursuant to Sec-retary Napolitanorsquos June 15 2012 memorandum in order to be eligible for deferred action the foreign national must

SINTEFrsquos Chief Scientist Ovidiu Vermesan is working on both the Internet of Things and The Internet of Energy as part of several ma-jor EU projects The fi rst of these ambitions involves the electric car and what will be known as the smart house in which products and services providing notifi cations security energy-saving automation telecommunication computers and entertainment will be integrated into a single system with a shared user interface

Vermesan thinks that we have to be visionary if we are to achieve these impossible targets lsquoObvi-ously not everything will be in place straight away But we are develop-ing the technology in Europe right now -- demonstrating testing and developing products -- and by 2020 or 2030 we will be much nearer our targetrsquo

lsquoAnd how will all these products manage to talk to each otherrsquo lsquoThe lsquolanguagersquo will be based on a type of protocol similar to the built-in for-mula that enables our mobile phones to talk using WiFi ISA100 ZigBee or BlueToothrsquo

lsquoBut will everything really be able to talk to everything else Or will equipment in the energy sector only be able to talk to other energy-related equipment Will devices in the health service be able to commu-nicate internally and so on In other

words is IoT more of a concept than something that can become a realityrsquo

lsquoIoT is a generic term for all of the devices and lsquothingsrsquo that can perform a service and that we want to be available on the Internet Several of the things you mention can connect and share information with each other but not all of them want to make the information available -- such as banks Obviously they want to make sure that only you can have access to your personal information via your mobile or computerrsquo

Communication in the health services

In the same way as we put ID chips on products we can attach sensors to ourselves and allow them to communicate via the Web to other objects around us The health ser-vice is currently testing sensors on elderly patients living at home The sensors can monitor pulse and blood pressure The measurements can be read by the patients themselves and communicated onward to a central location via their mobiles This is a simple form of communication that does not involve the Web

In the future however technology optimists envisage a completely dif-ferent fl ow of information in which the IoT will be able to set up not only the system architecture but also the rules governing security and the fl ow of information

PhD Inge Krogstad Senior Ad-viser at Nordic CoE Health Care at the IT company SAS Institute is working on a national network for the Internet of Things in Norway He describes his scenario for the Internet of Things within the health service like this

lsquoIn the morning the lsquosystemrsquo looks up that dayrsquos surgery schedule in the activity calendar and while it is checking the dayrsquos operations it also checks traffi c information on the patientsrsquo routes to the hospital It optimises their routes so that the last patient will be fi nished at 1500 since it is Friday If there is a lot of traffi c and poor driving condi-

tions the system revises the rota sends lsquoextra rotarsquo text messages to another two employees simultane-ously adjusting the time the alarm clocks of that dayrsquos team will go off It streams key data about the dayrsquos fi rst two operations to the three employeesrsquo media devices (car radio smart phone PDA) as they travel to work at the same time as it tells the patients that the schedule has been changed because an employee is sick while it relocates all the re-sources in order to meet the revised schedulersquo

Interpretation models neededFrode Strisland at SINTEF is con-

ducting research into small portable wireless medical sensor systems that patients will be able to operate in their own homes For example many chronically ill patients will benefi t greatly from being able to understand and follow up their own illness together with their doctor Many other elderly and chronically ill patients are grateful for the sensor technology that makes life safer for them -- for example by sending an alarm if a patient has a fall

He thinks that IoT is important and will soon be offering many opportunities within the fi eld of medical follow up However he emphasises that medical information is private and must not fall into the wrong hands Nor will an IoT be of much use if it allows all the informa-tion in the world to fl ow around on the Web without anyone developing good models that can explain and interpret that information

lsquoIt would be like the Meteorologi-cal Institute only having a network of measuring stations but no inter-pretation models that could analyse the situation and make prognosesrsquo he says lsquoIoT will provide many op-portunities for us to medically moni-tor chronic patients in the future but it will be important for us to choose measuring methods that provide sound answers -- and work on devel-oping interpretation models adapted to the patients as individuals each with their own illnesses

The Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Houses Smart Traffi c Smart Health Part 1Most things involve energyOvidiu Vermesan can understand

that the new technology is hard to grasp He is coordinating the EU Internet of Energy (IoE) project and working with 40 European partners on how to make it easier for energy suppliers and consumers to intercon-nect with each othersrsquo equipment

Major changes in the energy sector in recent years mean that the need for smart fl exible energy is increas-ing and that energy production and storage facilities will have to become more coordinated Current methods mean that our electricity is supplied by large commercial en-ergy companies from coal gas and nuclear power stations

So far these centrally controlled systems have not needed to commu-nicate much with the outside world In the future however distributed energy sources provided by mul-tiple suppliers will take over These sources will come from renewable energy such as hydro wind and solar

So according to Vermesan produc-tion will be dictated by access to resources which will in turn depend on solar intensity wind strength or water fl ow For instance energy companies will have access to a lot of wind energy at certain times when users will be able to benefi t by disconnecting from other energy sources and only using wind energy Energy will be a fresh commodity

The new power gridIn the future power grid known

as the Smart Grid every facility and device will have its own IP address so that it can be monitored and con-trolled via the Internet

As consumers we will be among the fi rst proponents of the future grid via the new Advanced Meter-ing Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will be installed in our homes over the next few years This will enable us not only to understand but also control our consumption

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise and land tours to some

selected cities in Spain Italy and France Courtesy of my sister Mila Denton Goldberg and her husband Art of San Diego my wife and I enjoyed this one for free

The much-needed vacation was supposed to free me from much of the virtual digital life that Irsquove lived lately Although at the cruise ship it was almost totally Facebook Twit-ter and email-free it was not totally digital free

I brought with me my iPad iP-hone and Kindle My wife brought her MacBook Air and iPhone Of course built-in to the devices are audio recorders mp3 players video and still camerarecorders and hun-dreds of applications for several uses either off-line and online

I also had accessories to these devices that I acquired from the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and the MACWORLD

For all intents and purposes I still continued to live an electronically led life despite the original intention of getting freed precisely from it

It turned out to be great The still and video cameras built-in to the iPad and iPhone made it easier for me to record memorable events and sites I took photographs and videos of shows and activities around the ship

In Madrid I actually ldquowalked with historyrdquo With photographs and videos to show I visited the fi rst and second residences of Jose

Rizal walked to Las Cortes Espa-ntildeolas (now Congreso de Diputados) where Rizal and his friends lobbied for Philippine rights went and ate at Viva Madrid restaurant where Rizal regularly ate his meals and walked to where ldquoLa Solidaridadrdquo was published

Also within walking distance was Ateneo de Madrid where Rizal studied English and did research Within a stone throw away is the place where the Circulo Hispano is headquartered This is the associa-tion of Filipino students and Spanish

sympathizers I also walked to see the place

where the members of the Propagan-da Movement led by Lopez Jaena regularly met to plot their lobbying efforts

When Jose Rizal delivered an ac-claimed speech honoring Luna and Hidalgo and exhorting the Filipino students to follow in the footsteps of the two honorees it was done in Hotel Ingles I certainly visited the place

The technology gadgets that I brought with the corresponding apps have indeed proven useful in record-ing and storing historical memories for easy retrieval for me other par-ties and even the next generation

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

For more information please call Melanie Dulfo of the Philippine Forum at 718-565-8862 or email at mdulfophilippineforumorg

The Philippine Forum is a New York City-based not-for-profi t organization that provides direct services training and advocacy to Filipinos and people of Filipino heritage in the United States It is also a prime mover in coalitions with other immigrant groups in advocating for immigration reform

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

Keep in mind that President Obamarsquos deportation-relief order is just a temporary relief New York lawyer Cristina Godinez told the audience at the Cafeacute Migrante fo-rum on June 24 at the Bayanihan Community Center in Woodside New York

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

It is good to hear stories from other Filipinos who tried their best in helping

relatives back in the Philip-pines Most of them were doing this noble acts for many years now and donrsquot expect anything back but just a hope that someday these recipients will become self-suffi cient Even the older folks receiv-ing some meager government benefi ts sent whatever they can afford

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Hey Cover Girl(Continued from page 17)

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

ldquoThe crown jewel of our Disney California Adventure expansion Cars Land is the extraordinary result of a close collaboration between the gifted fi lmmak-ers at Pixar Animation Studios and our talented Imagineers and cast membersrdquo Iger said ldquoItrsquos also a spectacular example of our ability to take our characters and stories and bring them to life in new and unexpected waysrdquo

ldquoMore than fi ve years ago we em-barked on a journey to realize Bob Igerrsquos vision of transforming Disney California Adventure with new attractions featur-ing our most iconic characters includ-ing Mater Lightning McQueen and the residents of Radiator Springsrdquo said Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts ldquoCars Land immerses guests in the world of lsquoCarsrsquo like never before and combines the imagination of Pixar with the creativity innovation and legend-ary storytelling that are the hallmarks of a Disney Parks experiencerdquo

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

My Positive Vision for the

PhilippinesBy Cesar D Candari

MDrsquo61 FCAP Emeritus

AS I WRITE this article today the Corona Impeachment Trial ended and the Scarborough Shoal confl ict still covered incessantly the media as a major signifi cant issue a crisis in the south China Sea which to me is frightening sign of what is going to happen Wrong ideas are still in the minds of our intellectuals in the Philippines

Government is a kleptocracy and a family dynasty The nepotism and cronyism that infest the Philippines public life will stay Corruption will persist for the upper economic and political classes in the Philippines It is rampant in these socio-economic and political strata The oligarchic classes are a status quo in Philippine Society-- based on a monopolistic access to material resources and po-litical power Quo Vadis Philippines

As the case of election sabotage against GM Arroyo shall be on trial soon (when is soon) a huge question is how it will end The darkest hour in our judicial history apparently was resolved We have been dragged to the opposite side of delicadeza of honor of integrity I pray we have crossed that bridge and rebuild our dignity from the debris A positive point may be is the fact that we have seen its ugliness its nauseating effect and everything else that doesnrsquot nurture life It was

as though what people suspected were affi rmed beyond the shadow of a doubt ndash that Rene Corona was dirty

The territorial squabbles with China are a problem American bases were kicked out and see what is happening now - the Spratleys- Chinesersquos recent incursion in the Scarborough Shoal - surely to be taken over by China The US doesnrsquot care

Why Filipino nationalists kicked out the American bases Did we improve in many things because we kicked them out Absolutely no

For tomorrow on a positive note President Aquino is determined to turn the corner by instituting genuine wide-ranging mean-ingful reform and acting on its belief that good governance is the bedrock of equitable progress

The President Noynoy Aquino said he is now tackling the problem of graft and corruption He said ldquoIt is with this principle in mind that we have allocated unprecedented sums to alleviate extreme poverty and are concen-trating on providing more opportunities for employ-mentrdquo

There are some signs that the country ndash with its young population of nearly 100 millions people the worldrsquos 12th largest ndash has turned a corner There are three reasons to be hopeful if not yet exactly cheerful

bull First the Philippines after years of indebtedness is a net credi-tor

Overseas remittances from the roughly 8 millions Filipinos work-ing abroad have steadily added to foreign exchange reserves At nearly $80 billions these are higher than the external debt Revenues from back offi ce businesses have quin-

tupled over six years from $200 to $11 Billions

bull Second the country is getting its fi scal house in order The defi cit has narrowed from a worry-ing 5-6 per cent a decade ago to a manageable 2 per cent

bull Third the political situ-ation is vastly improved Benigno ldquoNoynoyrdquo Aquino elected president in 2010 has made a creditable start For one his government has sent out a strong message that it will not tolerate corruption ldquoThy will be

donerdquo

The Philippines in my view is

not a hopeless case The perennial question - Will it degenerate into a greater social political and eco-nomic tragedy

The impeachment of Corona ended He was found guilty

Indeed the truth prevailed This is a resounding impact to all Fili-pinos sending a message loud and clear that there must be accountabil-ity and transparency in our leaders in government

Social entre-preneurship

The View From Taft Florenz C Tugas BusinessWorld Online

The Department of Tour-ism recently launched its campaign on 100

and more reasons why it is more fun in the Philippines This has made Filipinos ev-erywhere feel more proud of their country and has created a way of enticing foreigners to come to the Philippines

This is especially good for the economy but if we want to be stra-tegic about creating jobs to alleviate poverty we have to think beyond the obvious

Aside from targeting foreign tour-ists I propose that we redirect our efforts to ensure that Filipinos stay in the Philippines not because of blind faith nationalism or patrio-tism but because of the many great

Com men tary tary things this country has to offer

I AM PROPOSING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND IN-NOVATION a more sustainable and results-oriented initiative Rather than seek employment and depend largely on imports for the goods and services we need daily we can create businesses that cater to these needs and consequently provide employment

What we are experiencing now can be attributed partly to how we have been conditioned -- that right after graduation we should seek employ-ment Very often the big dream is to land a job in a multinational company

This is good donrsquot get me wrong But this opportunity is usually available only to the elite whom the hiring criteria favor The unemploy-ment fi gures tell us that most of our graduates have not yet realized their dreams Now is the best time for academe to advocate that starting a business is an option for the more than 500000 students who graduate yearly

Early this year I had the oppor-tunity to visit the Enchanted Farm of Gawad Kalinga (GK) in Angat Bulacan The Farm is GKrsquos platform to follow through what it had started which is building homes for the com-munity Through the Farm GK is providing livelihood to the community

During that visit I was inspired by how the community had been structured Social entrepreneurs enable their adopted community to contribute to the huge task of nation-building These social entrepreneurs are college students fresh college graduates and those who used to be employed but who later decided to

pursue social entrepreneurship They created jobs for the community by using raw materials sourced from the Farm

In the Farm I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of interns from other Asian countries Europe and the Americas They are there to learn not only about our culture but also (and more importantly) about the social enterprise platform of the Farm They see much hope for the Philippines Yes they believe that Philippines has the potential to grow and become a developed economy

Quite ironic isnrsquot it They see it but we do not As Tony Meloto the man behind GK puts it Is it always like this That we Filipinos are the last to realize that being a Filipino is a blessing and that having the Philip-pines as our home is among the best gifts from God

His rhetorical questions made me realize that God had not made a mistake when He made us Filipinos The best time to truly be a Filipino is now We have to go back to the basics and appreciate that we are a nation with rich and vast natural resources including some fl ora and fauna that can be found only in our country We have to leverage on this to start our social enterprises that

will pro-vide jobs to the com-munity

The response of the students faculty and admin-istration of the Ramon

V Del Rosario College of Business has been overwhelming In fact at the start of De La Sallersquos second centennial we will push for a year-long program of sustainable aware-ness and involvement in the Farm putting up our own social enterprise in and for the community

Florenz C Tugas is the External Affairs Director of the Ramon V Del Rosario College of Business of De La Salle University A full-time faculty member of the Accountancy Department he specializes in Audit-ing and Assurance and Management of Information Technology courses He can be reached at fl orenztugasdlsueduph The views expressed above are the authorrsquos and do not necessarily refl ect the offi cial posi-tion of De La Salle University its faculty and its administrators

I canrsquot believe that itrsquos actu-ally time for my son to get

his learners permit

Herersquos a way to start feeling a bit older your child turns old enough for his learnerrsquos permithellipand wants one now Today Right now pop Please Can I Huh Can I have one Please pop Please can I get my learners permit Can I Huh Pop can I

Well I supposehellip Okay yes He can get his learners permit That means downloading the handbook for him to study plus practice tests and more It also means at least for

residents of California a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicle where you get a copy of application form DL 44 (yes you have to go get one) Why canrsquot it be downloaded from the DMV website you ask Well donrsquot bother It canrsquot so go get it

Here are the steps necessary to take for a learners permit

bullBe at least 15 frac12 but under 18 years of age

bullVisit a DMV offi ce (make an Ap-pointment online for faster service)

Complete and submit an original application form DL 44 (Only an original DL 44 form will be accept-ed Copies obtained by photocopy-ing faxing or other methods will not be accepted)

Provide your social security number on the DL 44 It will be verifi ed with the Social Security Administration while you are in the offi ce

Have both of your parentsrsquo or guardiansrsquo signatures on the DL 44 application form

NOTE When you sign your ap-plication for an instruction permitdriver license you agree to submit to a chemical test to determine the al-cohol or drug content of your blood when required by a peace offi cer If you refuse to sign this statement on your driver license application DMV will not issue a permit or license

bullGive a thumb print bullHave your picture taken bullBring your original birth certifi -

cate or a certifi ed copy If you are not a US-born citizen you must provide proof that you are a legal US resident

bullProvide your full legal name bullSubmit the proper form(s) for

driver education andor driver train-ing classes (See below for details)

bullPay the application fee (This fee entitles you to three exams of any

type within the 12-month period and pays for both the permit and the driver license If all requirements are not met within the 12-month period the application becomes void and all steps must be completed again)

bullPass a vision exam bullPass a traffi c laws and sign test

You must get at least 38 questions right out of 46 You will have 3 chances to take the test but if you fail a test you must wait 7 days be-fore taking the test again If you fail the test all 3 times you must start over by fi lling out a new DL 44

If you are between 15 frac12 and 17 frac12 years of age you will need to provide proof that you

bullCompleted driver educationor bullCompleted driver education and

driver training or bullEnrolled and participating in an

approved integrated driver educa-tiondriver training program

An out-of-state driving instruction-al permit is not acceptable proof of driver education and driver training

As soon as you pass your written test you will be issued a permit

A parent guardian spouse or adult 25 years of age or older who has a valid California driver license must be with you when you drive He or she must sit in the front seat in order to take control of the vehicle if necessary It is illegal for you to drive alone at any time For a period of 12 months you may not transport passengers under age 20 unless you are accompanied by a parent guard-ian instructor or licensed driver over the age of 25 and you may not drive between 11 pm and 5 am

It was a bit different when I got my learners permit Irsquom not sure if that was because the laws were different then or because I received mine in Florida and not California When it was time to get my permit a friend

took me to the Florida DMV offi ce in Ft Lauderdale I showed them my birth certifi cate paid a small fee and got the piece of paper that said I could start driving with a grownup I didnrsquot even have to attend a driverrsquos ed program

We drove home and I walked in the door and announced to my parents that I now had my learners permit and would appreciate any opportunity to drive with them They went a bit pale but said okay And thatrsquos when I started driving

It obviously wonrsquot be that way with my son but what the heck hersquoll learn to be a good defensive driver At least thatrsquos the plan Irsquoll keep you up to datehellipwish me luck

Remedies Sought for FCC Unlawful Action Preventing Access to Wireless Licenses

Valued at $19 Billion

DENVERmdashYesterday the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) a member of the Asian American Cen-ter for Advancing Justice joined 18 small minority- and women-owned businesses (SMWBs) public interest groups and civil rights organizations on an amicus brief in the US Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case

of Council Tree Investors Inc v Federal Communications Commis-sion (FCC) arguing for remedies for damages suffered by SMWBs that participated in the 2008 wireless spectrum auction

ldquoAsian Americans and other minorities are already severely underrepresented in the telecommu-nications industryrdquo said Mee Moua president and executive director of AAJC ldquoAs we increasingly move toward a wireless society and econ-omy it is absolutely critical for all participants in the wireless industry

IMMIGRATION 911 by Atty Susan V Perez

Maria a Filipino citizen came to me for assistance regarding her daughterrsquos legal residence status Maria her husband their daughter and their son came to the United States on a tourist visa in 2001 At the time Mariarsquos daughter was only seven years old while Mariarsquos son was twelve years old They never left the United States Mariarsquos son married a US citizen and became a US citizen As soon as he turned 21 he petitioned for Maria and her husband who are now legal perma-nent residents of the United States Mariarsquos daughter remains to be undocumented She completed high school but could not get into San Diego Community College because she does not have any legal status She could not work either because she does not have any employ-ment permit I could not offer her a solution at the time because therersquos none Although she is dating a US citizen she was not ready to tie the knot

At least 65000 undocumented immigrant youth graduate from high schools every year and many of them struggle to attend institutes of higher education and military President Obama at last came through with a bold memorandum on June 15 2012 through the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano stating that young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own will be considered for relief from deportation known as ldquoDeferred Actionrdquo Pursuant to Sec-retary Napolitanorsquos June 15 2012 memorandum in order to be eligible for deferred action the foreign national must

Have come to the United States under the age of sixteen

Have continuously resided in the United States for at least fi ve years preceding the date of the memoran-dum (June 15 2012) and are present in the United States on the date of the memorandum

Currently be in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education de-velopment (GED) certifi cate or are

honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States

Have not been convicted of felony offense a signifi cant misdemeanor offense multiple misdemeanor of-fenses or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety

Not above the age of thirty (30)Applicants must also complete

a background check and for those individuals who make a request to USCIS and are not subject to a fi nal order of removal must be 15 years old or older

Deferred action is a discretion-ary determination to defer removal action of an individual as an act of prosecutorial Deferred action does not confer lawful status upon an individual However he or she will be eligible to receive employment authorization for the period of de-ferred action provided he or she can demonstrate ldquoan economic necessity for employmentrdquo Deferred action can be terminated at any time at the agencyrsquos discretion

Individuals who are not in removal proceedings or who are subject to a fi nal order of removal will need to submit a request for a review of their case and supporting evidence to US Citizenship and Immigra-tion Services (USCIS) Individuals may request deferred action if they meet the eligibility criteria Mariarsquos daughter can apply for deferred ac-tion and if approved will be eligible to get an employment authorization I believe that she is eligible for the issuance of social security number and a driverrsquos license

In the coming weeks USCIS will outline and announce the procedures by which individuals can engage in this process At this time those who are eligible for deferred action but NOT in removal proceedings should NOT apply affi rmatively but wait for mid-August when USCIS and ICE will begin accepting ap-plications Those who are facing imminent removal from the United States and who believe they can demonstrate that they satisfy the eli-gibility criteria should immediately contact Law Enforcement Support Centerrsquos hotline at 1-855-448-6903

ScienceDaily (June 26 2012) mdash Monday morning and yoursquore in a hurry On your way out you check your pockets Money Mobile Where are the car keys A quick text message and the keys let you know that they are under the papers on the dining table

This everyday example is quite trivial and doesnrsquot really refl ect the grand vision conjured up for experts by the term lsquoThe Internet of Thingsrsquo (IoT) However it does give us some indication -- the Internet of Things involves the technology we use when the things around us are talk-ing to each other

The chips and sensors that identify these things also enable them to lsquotalkrsquo to each other or talk via the Internet and thus share and transfer information to the rest of the world The fridge can tell you that a chick-en fi llet is on the verge if its expiry date Your electric car can transfer power back to the grid so that it doesnrsquot become overcharged and if you have a chronic illness you can be medically monitored and cared for via wireless sensor systems We will soon have smart houses smart traffi c and smart health

Technology optimists claim that IoT technology will be the vital missing link enabling us to meet the major challenges associated with climate change energy effi ciency mobility and future health services The new technology will also create new products new services new interfaces and new applications

The visionsOne of todayrsquos future research-

ers Dave Evans of the American IT company Cisco claims that there are about ten billion units connected to the web today and that this will have increased by fi ve times in 2020 lsquoWe will be connecting devices to the Internet that we donrsquot think about very much today Our house asthma inhaler maybe our shoes -- perhaps even treesrsquo he tells the magazine Teknisk Ukeblad

SINTEFrsquos Chief Scientist Ovidiu Vermesan is working on both the Internet of Things and The Internet of Energy as part of several ma-jor EU projects The fi rst of these ambitions involves the electric car and what will be known as the smart house in which products and services providing notifi cations security energy-saving automation telecommunication computers and entertainment will be integrated into a single system with a shared user interface

Vermesan thinks that we have to be visionary if we are to achieve these impossible targets lsquoObvi-ously not everything will be in place straight away But we are develop-ing the technology in Europe right now -- demonstrating testing and developing products -- and by 2020 or 2030 we will be much nearer our targetrsquo

lsquoAnd how will all these products manage to talk to each otherrsquo lsquoThe lsquolanguagersquo will be based on a type of protocol similar to the built-in for-mula that enables our mobile phones to talk using WiFi ISA100 ZigBee or BlueToothrsquo

lsquoBut will everything really be able to talk to everything else Or will equipment in the energy sector only be able to talk to other energy-related equipment Will devices in the health service be able to commu-nicate internally and so on In other

words is IoT more of a concept than something that can become a realityrsquo

lsquoIoT is a generic term for all of the devices and lsquothingsrsquo that can perform a service and that we want to be available on the Internet Several of the things you mention can connect and share information with each other but not all of them want to make the information available -- such as banks Obviously they want to make sure that only you can have access to your personal information via your mobile or computerrsquo

Communication in the health services

In the same way as we put ID chips on products we can attach sensors to ourselves and allow them to communicate via the Web to other objects around us The health ser-vice is currently testing sensors on elderly patients living at home The sensors can monitor pulse and blood pressure The measurements can be read by the patients themselves and communicated onward to a central location via their mobiles This is a simple form of communication that does not involve the Web

In the future however technology optimists envisage a completely dif-ferent fl ow of information in which the IoT will be able to set up not only the system architecture but also the rules governing security and the fl ow of information

PhD Inge Krogstad Senior Ad-viser at Nordic CoE Health Care at the IT company SAS Institute is working on a national network for the Internet of Things in Norway He describes his scenario for the Internet of Things within the health service like this

lsquoIn the morning the lsquosystemrsquo looks up that dayrsquos surgery schedule in the activity calendar and while it is checking the dayrsquos operations it also checks traffi c information on the patientsrsquo routes to the hospital It optimises their routes so that the last patient will be fi nished at 1500 since it is Friday If there is a lot of traffi c and poor driving condi-

tions the system revises the rota sends lsquoextra rotarsquo text messages to another two employees simultane-ously adjusting the time the alarm clocks of that dayrsquos team will go off It streams key data about the dayrsquos fi rst two operations to the three employeesrsquo media devices (car radio smart phone PDA) as they travel to work at the same time as it tells the patients that the schedule has been changed because an employee is sick while it relocates all the re-sources in order to meet the revised schedulersquo

Interpretation models neededFrode Strisland at SINTEF is con-

ducting research into small portable wireless medical sensor systems that patients will be able to operate in their own homes For example many chronically ill patients will benefi t greatly from being able to understand and follow up their own illness together with their doctor Many other elderly and chronically ill patients are grateful for the sensor technology that makes life safer for them -- for example by sending an alarm if a patient has a fall

He thinks that IoT is important and will soon be offering many opportunities within the fi eld of medical follow up However he emphasises that medical information is private and must not fall into the wrong hands Nor will an IoT be of much use if it allows all the informa-tion in the world to fl ow around on the Web without anyone developing good models that can explain and interpret that information

lsquoIt would be like the Meteorologi-cal Institute only having a network of measuring stations but no inter-pretation models that could analyse the situation and make prognosesrsquo he says lsquoIoT will provide many op-portunities for us to medically moni-tor chronic patients in the future but it will be important for us to choose measuring methods that provide sound answers -- and work on devel-oping interpretation models adapted to the patients as individuals each with their own illnesses

The Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Houses Smart Traffi c Smart Health Part 1Most things involve energyOvidiu Vermesan can understand

that the new technology is hard to grasp He is coordinating the EU Internet of Energy (IoE) project and working with 40 European partners on how to make it easier for energy suppliers and consumers to intercon-nect with each othersrsquo equipment

Major changes in the energy sector in recent years mean that the need for smart fl exible energy is increas-ing and that energy production and storage facilities will have to become more coordinated Current methods mean that our electricity is supplied by large commercial en-ergy companies from coal gas and nuclear power stations

So far these centrally controlled systems have not needed to commu-nicate much with the outside world In the future however distributed energy sources provided by mul-tiple suppliers will take over These sources will come from renewable energy such as hydro wind and solar

So according to Vermesan produc-tion will be dictated by access to resources which will in turn depend on solar intensity wind strength or water fl ow For instance energy companies will have access to a lot of wind energy at certain times when users will be able to benefi t by disconnecting from other energy sources and only using wind energy Energy will be a fresh commodity

The new power gridIn the future power grid known

as the Smart Grid every facility and device will have its own IP address so that it can be monitored and con-trolled via the Internet

As consumers we will be among the fi rst proponents of the future grid via the new Advanced Meter-ing Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will be installed in our homes over the next few years This will enable us not only to understand but also control our consumption

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise and land tours to some

selected cities in Spain Italy and France Courtesy of my sister Mila Denton Goldberg and her husband Art of San Diego my wife and I enjoyed this one for free

The much-needed vacation was supposed to free me from much of the virtual digital life that Irsquove lived lately Although at the cruise ship it was almost totally Facebook Twit-ter and email-free it was not totally digital free

I brought with me my iPad iP-hone and Kindle My wife brought her MacBook Air and iPhone Of course built-in to the devices are audio recorders mp3 players video and still camerarecorders and hun-dreds of applications for several uses either off-line and online

I also had accessories to these devices that I acquired from the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and the MACWORLD

For all intents and purposes I still continued to live an electronically led life despite the original intention of getting freed precisely from it

It turned out to be great The still and video cameras built-in to the iPad and iPhone made it easier for me to record memorable events and sites I took photographs and videos of shows and activities around the ship

In Madrid I actually ldquowalked with historyrdquo With photographs and videos to show I visited the fi rst and second residences of Jose

Rizal walked to Las Cortes Espa-ntildeolas (now Congreso de Diputados) where Rizal and his friends lobbied for Philippine rights went and ate at Viva Madrid restaurant where Rizal regularly ate his meals and walked to where ldquoLa Solidaridadrdquo was published

Also within walking distance was Ateneo de Madrid where Rizal studied English and did research Within a stone throw away is the place where the Circulo Hispano is headquartered This is the associa-tion of Filipino students and Spanish

sympathizers I also walked to see the place

where the members of the Propagan-da Movement led by Lopez Jaena regularly met to plot their lobbying efforts

When Jose Rizal delivered an ac-claimed speech honoring Luna and Hidalgo and exhorting the Filipino students to follow in the footsteps of the two honorees it was done in Hotel Ingles I certainly visited the place

The technology gadgets that I brought with the corresponding apps have indeed proven useful in record-ing and storing historical memories for easy retrieval for me other par-ties and even the next generation

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

It is good to hear stories from other Filipinos who tried their best in helping

relatives back in the Philip-pines Most of them were doing this noble acts for many years now and donrsquot expect anything back but just a hope that someday these recipients will become self-suffi cient Even the older folks receiv-ing some meager government benefi ts sent whatever they can afford

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

Mayor Sandy Javier gives back his blessings to his

hometownLeyte Samar Daily Express |

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Hey Cover Girl(Continued from page 17)

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

Grand opening ceremonies began with an onscreen remote broadcast of ldquoCarsrdquo stars Lightning McQueen and Mater racing across the highways of America on their way to welcome guests at the premiere Staggs and Lasseter welcomed voice talent from the movie on the stage leading up to a spectacular grand fi nale ndash the arrival of Lightning and Mater in Cars Land a chorus of roller-skaters and dancing mechanics the electrifying light-up of the neon signs that line Route 66 and a stunning fi reworks display over the mountain range of Ornament Valley

ldquoThe crown jewel of our Disney California Adventure expansion Cars Land is the extraordinary result of a close collaboration between the gifted fi lmmak-ers at Pixar Animation Studios and our talented Imagineers and cast membersrdquo Iger said ldquoItrsquos also a spectacular example of our ability to take our characters and stories and bring them to life in new and unexpected waysrdquo

ldquoMore than fi ve years ago we em-barked on a journey to realize Bob Igerrsquos vision of transforming Disney California Adventure with new attractions featur-ing our most iconic characters includ-ing Mater Lightning McQueen and the residents of Radiator Springsrdquo said Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts ldquoCars Land immerses guests in the world of lsquoCarsrsquo like never before and combines the imagination of Pixar with the creativity innovation and legend-ary storytelling that are the hallmarks of a Disney Parks experiencerdquo

ldquoWhile I love all of the movies wersquove made at Pixar the lsquoCarsrsquo fi lms are particularly close to my heart so seeing Radiator Springs come to life at Disney California Adventure is a dream come truerdquo Lasseter said ldquoThe artistry and attention to detail throughout Cars Land is absolutely incredible and I couldnrsquot be more proud of the teams at Pixar and Walt Disney Imagineering who worked side-by-side to make this project a realityrdquo

The thrilling additions of Cars Land Buena Vista Street and the Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge at Disney California Adventure add to the storytell-ing magic of the Disneyland Resort a world-class family vacation destination in Southern California with two theme parks three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

Remedies Sought for FCC Unlawful Action Preventing Access to Wireless Licenses

Valued at $19 Billion

DENVERmdashYesterday the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) a member of the Asian American Cen-ter for Advancing Justice joined 18 small minority- and women-owned businesses (SMWBs) public interest groups and civil rights organizations on an amicus brief in the US Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case

of Council Tree Investors Inc v Federal Communications Commis-sion (FCC) arguing for remedies for damages suffered by SMWBs that participated in the 2008 wireless spectrum auction

ldquoAsian Americans and other minorities are already severely underrepresented in the telecommu-nications industryrdquo said Mee Moua president and executive director of AAJC ldquoAs we increasingly move toward a wireless society and econ-omy it is absolutely critical for all participants in the wireless industry

Maria a Filipino citizen came to me for assistance regarding her daughterrsquos legal residence status Maria her husband their daughter and their son came to the United States on a tourist visa in 2001 At the time Mariarsquos daughter was only seven years old while Mariarsquos son was twelve years old They never left the United States Mariarsquos son married a US citizen and became a US citizen As soon as he turned 21 he petitioned for Maria and her husband who are now legal perma-nent residents of the United States Mariarsquos daughter remains to be undocumented She completed high school but could not get into San Diego Community College because she does not have any legal status She could not work either because she does not have any employ-ment permit I could not offer her a solution at the time because therersquos none Although she is dating a US citizen she was not ready to tie the knot

At least 65000 undocumented immigrant youth graduate from high schools every year and many of them struggle to attend institutes of higher education and military President Obama at last came through with a bold memorandum on June 15 2012 through the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano stating that young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own will be considered for relief from deportation known as ldquoDeferred Actionrdquo Pursuant to Sec-retary Napolitanorsquos June 15 2012 memorandum in order to be eligible for deferred action the foreign national must

ScienceDaily (June 26 2012) mdash Monday morning and yoursquore in a hurry On your way out you check your pockets Money Mobile Where are the car keys A quick text message and the keys let you know that they are under the papers on the dining table

This everyday example is quite trivial and doesnrsquot really refl ect the grand vision conjured up for experts by the term lsquoThe Internet of Thingsrsquo (IoT) However it does give us some indication -- the Internet of Things involves the technology we use when the things around us are talk-ing to each other

The chips and sensors that identify these things also enable them to lsquotalkrsquo to each other or talk via the Internet and thus share and transfer information to the rest of the world The fridge can tell you that a chick-en fi llet is on the verge if its expiry date Your electric car can transfer power back to the grid so that it doesnrsquot become overcharged and if you have a chronic illness you can be medically monitored and cared for via wireless sensor systems We will soon have smart houses smart traffi c and smart health

Technology optimists claim that IoT technology will be the vital missing link enabling us to meet the major challenges associated with climate change energy effi ciency mobility and future health services The new technology will also create new products new services new interfaces and new applications

The visionsOne of todayrsquos future research-

ers Dave Evans of the American IT company Cisco claims that there are about ten billion units connected to the web today and that this will have increased by fi ve times in 2020 lsquoWe will be connecting devices to the Internet that we donrsquot think about very much today Our house asthma inhaler maybe our shoes -- perhaps even treesrsquo he tells the magazine Teknisk Ukeblad

SINTEFrsquos Chief Scientist Ovidiu Vermesan is working on both the Internet of Things and The Internet of Energy as part of several ma-jor EU projects The fi rst of these ambitions involves the electric car and what will be known as the smart house in which products and services providing notifi cations security energy-saving automation telecommunication computers and entertainment will be integrated into a single system with a shared user interface

Vermesan thinks that we have to be visionary if we are to achieve these impossible targets lsquoObvi-ously not everything will be in place straight away But we are develop-ing the technology in Europe right now -- demonstrating testing and developing products -- and by 2020 or 2030 we will be much nearer our targetrsquo

lsquoAnd how will all these products manage to talk to each otherrsquo lsquoThe lsquolanguagersquo will be based on a type of protocol similar to the built-in for-mula that enables our mobile phones to talk using WiFi ISA100 ZigBee or BlueToothrsquo

lsquoBut will everything really be able to talk to everything else Or will equipment in the energy sector only be able to talk to other energy-related equipment Will devices in the health service be able to commu-nicate internally and so on In other

words is IoT more of a concept than something that can become a realityrsquo

lsquoIoT is a generic term for all of the devices and lsquothingsrsquo that can perform a service and that we want to be available on the Internet Several of the things you mention can connect and share information with each other but not all of them want to make the information available -- such as banks Obviously they want to make sure that only you can have access to your personal information via your mobile or computerrsquo

Communication in the health services

In the same way as we put ID chips on products we can attach sensors to ourselves and allow them to communicate via the Web to other objects around us The health ser-vice is currently testing sensors on elderly patients living at home The sensors can monitor pulse and blood pressure The measurements can be read by the patients themselves and communicated onward to a central location via their mobiles This is a simple form of communication that does not involve the Web

In the future however technology optimists envisage a completely dif-ferent fl ow of information in which the IoT will be able to set up not only the system architecture but also the rules governing security and the fl ow of information

PhD Inge Krogstad Senior Ad-viser at Nordic CoE Health Care at the IT company SAS Institute is working on a national network for the Internet of Things in Norway He describes his scenario for the Internet of Things within the health service like this

lsquoIn the morning the lsquosystemrsquo looks up that dayrsquos surgery schedule in the activity calendar and while it is checking the dayrsquos operations it also checks traffi c information on the patientsrsquo routes to the hospital It optimises their routes so that the last patient will be fi nished at 1500 since it is Friday If there is a lot of traffi c and poor driving condi-

tions the system revises the rota sends lsquoextra rotarsquo text messages to another two employees simultane-ously adjusting the time the alarm clocks of that dayrsquos team will go off It streams key data about the dayrsquos fi rst two operations to the three employeesrsquo media devices (car radio smart phone PDA) as they travel to work at the same time as it tells the patients that the schedule has been changed because an employee is sick while it relocates all the re-sources in order to meet the revised schedulersquo

Interpretation models neededFrode Strisland at SINTEF is con-

ducting research into small portable wireless medical sensor systems that patients will be able to operate in their own homes For example many chronically ill patients will benefi t greatly from being able to understand and follow up their own illness together with their doctor Many other elderly and chronically ill patients are grateful for the sensor technology that makes life safer for them -- for example by sending an alarm if a patient has a fall

He thinks that IoT is important and will soon be offering many opportunities within the fi eld of medical follow up However he emphasises that medical information is private and must not fall into the wrong hands Nor will an IoT be of much use if it allows all the informa-tion in the world to fl ow around on the Web without anyone developing good models that can explain and interpret that information

lsquoIt would be like the Meteorologi-cal Institute only having a network of measuring stations but no inter-pretation models that could analyse the situation and make prognosesrsquo he says lsquoIoT will provide many op-portunities for us to medically moni-tor chronic patients in the future but it will be important for us to choose measuring methods that provide sound answers -- and work on devel-oping interpretation models adapted to the patients as individuals each with their own illnesses

The Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Houses Smart Traffi c Smart Health Part 1Most things involve energyOvidiu Vermesan can understand

that the new technology is hard to grasp He is coordinating the EU Internet of Energy (IoE) project and working with 40 European partners on how to make it easier for energy suppliers and consumers to intercon-nect with each othersrsquo equipment

Major changes in the energy sector in recent years mean that the need for smart fl exible energy is increas-ing and that energy production and storage facilities will have to become more coordinated Current methods mean that our electricity is supplied by large commercial en-ergy companies from coal gas and nuclear power stations

So far these centrally controlled systems have not needed to commu-nicate much with the outside world In the future however distributed energy sources provided by mul-tiple suppliers will take over These sources will come from renewable energy such as hydro wind and solar

So according to Vermesan produc-tion will be dictated by access to resources which will in turn depend on solar intensity wind strength or water fl ow For instance energy companies will have access to a lot of wind energy at certain times when users will be able to benefi t by disconnecting from other energy sources and only using wind energy Energy will be a fresh commodity

The new power gridIn the future power grid known

as the Smart Grid every facility and device will have its own IP address so that it can be monitored and con-trolled via the Internet

As consumers we will be among the fi rst proponents of the future grid via the new Advanced Meter-ing Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will be installed in our homes over the next few years This will enable us not only to understand but also control our consumption

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise and land tours to some

selected cities in Spain Italy and France Courtesy of my sister Mila Denton Goldberg and her husband Art of San Diego my wife and I enjoyed this one for free

The much-needed vacation was supposed to free me from much of the virtual digital life that Irsquove lived lately Although at the cruise ship it was almost totally Facebook Twit-ter and email-free it was not totally digital free

I brought with me my iPad iP-hone and Kindle My wife brought her MacBook Air and iPhone Of course built-in to the devices are audio recorders mp3 players video and still camerarecorders and hun-dreds of applications for several uses either off-line and online

I also had accessories to these devices that I acquired from the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and the MACWORLD

For all intents and purposes I still continued to live an electronically led life despite the original intention of getting freed precisely from it

It turned out to be great The still and video cameras built-in to the iPad and iPhone made it easier for me to record memorable events and sites I took photographs and videos of shows and activities around the ship

In Madrid I actually ldquowalked with historyrdquo With photographs and videos to show I visited the fi rst and second residences of Jose

Rizal walked to Las Cortes Espa-ntildeolas (now Congreso de Diputados) where Rizal and his friends lobbied for Philippine rights went and ate at Viva Madrid restaurant where Rizal regularly ate his meals and walked to where ldquoLa Solidaridadrdquo was published

Also within walking distance was Ateneo de Madrid where Rizal studied English and did research Within a stone throw away is the place where the Circulo Hispano is headquartered This is the associa-tion of Filipino students and Spanish

sympathizers I also walked to see the place

where the members of the Propagan-da Movement led by Lopez Jaena regularly met to plot their lobbying efforts

When Jose Rizal delivered an ac-claimed speech honoring Luna and Hidalgo and exhorting the Filipino students to follow in the footsteps of the two honorees it was done in Hotel Ingles I certainly visited the place

The technology gadgets that I brought with the corresponding apps have indeed proven useful in record-ing and storing historical memories for easy retrieval for me other par-ties and even the next generation

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

For more information please call Melanie Dulfo of the Philippine Forum at 718-565-8862 or email at mdulfophilippineforumorg

The Philippine Forum is a New York City-based not-for-profi t organization that provides direct services training and advocacy to Filipinos and people of Filipino heritage in the United States It is also a prime mover in coalitions with other immigrant groups in advocating for immigration reform

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

It is good to hear stories from other Filipinos who tried their best in helping

relatives back in the Philip-pines Most of them were doing this noble acts for many years now and donrsquot expect anything back but just a hope that someday these recipients will become self-suffi cient Even the older folks receiv-ing some meager government benefi ts sent whatever they can afford

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

hometownLeyte Samar Daily Express |

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

Sodium nitrate (or sodium nitrite) is used as a preservative coloring and flavoring in bacon ham hot dogs luncheon meats corned beef smoked fish and other processed meats This ingredient which sounds harmless is actually highly carcino-

genic once it enters the human diges-tive system There it forms a variety of nitrosamine compounds that enter the bloodstream and wreak havoc with a number of internal organs the liver and pancreas in particular Sodium nitrite is widely regarded as a toxic ingredient and the USDA actually tried to ban this additive in the 1970s but was vetoed by food manufacturers who complained they had no alternative for preserving

packaged meat products Why does the industry still use it Simple this chemical just happens to turn meats bright red Itrsquos actually a color fixer and it makes old dead meats appear fresh and vibrant

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

ScienceDaily (June 26 2012) mdash Monday morning and yoursquore in a hurry On your way out you check your pockets Money Mobile Where are the car keys A quick text message and the keys let you know that they are under the papers on the dining table

This everyday example is quite trivial and doesnrsquot really refl ect the grand vision conjured up for experts by the term lsquoThe Internet of Thingsrsquo (IoT) However it does give us some indication -- the Internet of Things involves the technology we use when the things around us are talk-ing to each other

The chips and sensors that identify these things also enable them to lsquotalkrsquo to each other or talk via the Internet and thus share and transfer information to the rest of the world The fridge can tell you that a chick-en fi llet is on the verge if its expiry date Your electric car can transfer power back to the grid so that it doesnrsquot become overcharged and if you have a chronic illness you can be medically monitored and cared for via wireless sensor systems We will soon have smart houses smart traffi c and smart health

Technology optimists claim that IoT technology will be the vital missing link enabling us to meet the major challenges associated with climate change energy effi ciency mobility and future health services The new technology will also create new products new services new interfaces and new applications

The visionsOne of todayrsquos future research-

ers Dave Evans of the American IT company Cisco claims that there are about ten billion units connected to the web today and that this will have increased by fi ve times in 2020 lsquoWe will be connecting devices to the Internet that we donrsquot think about very much today Our house asthma inhaler maybe our shoes -- perhaps even treesrsquo he tells the magazine Teknisk Ukeblad

SINTEFrsquos Chief Scientist Ovidiu Vermesan is working on both the Internet of Things and The Internet of Energy as part of several ma-jor EU projects The fi rst of these ambitions involves the electric car and what will be known as the smart house in which products and services providing notifi cations security energy-saving automation telecommunication computers and entertainment will be integrated into a single system with a shared user interface

Vermesan thinks that we have to be visionary if we are to achieve these impossible targets lsquoObvi-ously not everything will be in place straight away But we are develop-ing the technology in Europe right now -- demonstrating testing and developing products -- and by 2020 or 2030 we will be much nearer our targetrsquo

lsquoAnd how will all these products manage to talk to each otherrsquo lsquoThe lsquolanguagersquo will be based on a type of protocol similar to the built-in for-mula that enables our mobile phones to talk using WiFi ISA100 ZigBee or BlueToothrsquo

lsquoBut will everything really be able to talk to everything else Or will equipment in the energy sector only be able to talk to other energy-related equipment Will devices in the health service be able to commu-nicate internally and so on In other

words is IoT more of a concept than something that can become a realityrsquo

lsquoIoT is a generic term for all of the devices and lsquothingsrsquo that can perform a service and that we want to be available on the Internet Several of the things you mention can connect and share information with each other but not all of them want to make the information available -- such as banks Obviously they want to make sure that only you can have access to your personal information via your mobile or computerrsquo

Communication in the health services

In the same way as we put ID chips on products we can attach sensors to ourselves and allow them to communicate via the Web to other objects around us The health ser-vice is currently testing sensors on elderly patients living at home The sensors can monitor pulse and blood pressure The measurements can be read by the patients themselves and communicated onward to a central location via their mobiles This is a simple form of communication that does not involve the Web

In the future however technology optimists envisage a completely dif-ferent fl ow of information in which the IoT will be able to set up not only the system architecture but also the rules governing security and the fl ow of information

PhD Inge Krogstad Senior Ad-viser at Nordic CoE Health Care at the IT company SAS Institute is working on a national network for the Internet of Things in Norway He describes his scenario for the Internet of Things within the health service like this

lsquoIn the morning the lsquosystemrsquo looks up that dayrsquos surgery schedule in the activity calendar and while it is checking the dayrsquos operations it also checks traffi c information on the patientsrsquo routes to the hospital It optimises their routes so that the last patient will be fi nished at 1500 since it is Friday If there is a lot of traffi c and poor driving condi-

tions the system revises the rota sends lsquoextra rotarsquo text messages to another two employees simultane-ously adjusting the time the alarm clocks of that dayrsquos team will go off It streams key data about the dayrsquos fi rst two operations to the three employeesrsquo media devices (car radio smart phone PDA) as they travel to work at the same time as it tells the patients that the schedule has been changed because an employee is sick while it relocates all the re-sources in order to meet the revised schedulersquo

Interpretation models neededFrode Strisland at SINTEF is con-

ducting research into small portable wireless medical sensor systems that patients will be able to operate in their own homes For example many chronically ill patients will benefi t greatly from being able to understand and follow up their own illness together with their doctor Many other elderly and chronically ill patients are grateful for the sensor technology that makes life safer for them -- for example by sending an alarm if a patient has a fall

He thinks that IoT is important and will soon be offering many opportunities within the fi eld of medical follow up However he emphasises that medical information is private and must not fall into the wrong hands Nor will an IoT be of much use if it allows all the informa-tion in the world to fl ow around on the Web without anyone developing good models that can explain and interpret that information

lsquoIt would be like the Meteorologi-cal Institute only having a network of measuring stations but no inter-pretation models that could analyse the situation and make prognosesrsquo he says lsquoIoT will provide many op-portunities for us to medically moni-tor chronic patients in the future but it will be important for us to choose measuring methods that provide sound answers -- and work on devel-oping interpretation models adapted to the patients as individuals each with their own illnesses

The Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Houses Smart Traffi c Smart Health Part 1Most things involve energyOvidiu Vermesan can understand

that the new technology is hard to grasp He is coordinating the EU Internet of Energy (IoE) project and working with 40 European partners on how to make it easier for energy suppliers and consumers to intercon-nect with each othersrsquo equipment

Major changes in the energy sector in recent years mean that the need for smart fl exible energy is increas-ing and that energy production and storage facilities will have to become more coordinated Current methods mean that our electricity is supplied by large commercial en-ergy companies from coal gas and nuclear power stations

So far these centrally controlled systems have not needed to commu-nicate much with the outside world In the future however distributed energy sources provided by mul-tiple suppliers will take over These sources will come from renewable energy such as hydro wind and solar

So according to Vermesan produc-tion will be dictated by access to resources which will in turn depend on solar intensity wind strength or water fl ow For instance energy companies will have access to a lot of wind energy at certain times when users will be able to benefi t by disconnecting from other energy sources and only using wind energy Energy will be a fresh commodity

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise and land tours to some

selected cities in Spain Italy and France Courtesy of my sister Mila Denton Goldberg and her husband Art of San Diego my wife and I enjoyed this one for free

The much-needed vacation was supposed to free me from much of the virtual digital life that Irsquove lived lately Although at the cruise ship it was almost totally Facebook Twit-ter and email-free it was not totally digital free

I brought with me my iPad iP-hone and Kindle My wife brought her MacBook Air and iPhone Of course built-in to the devices are audio recorders mp3 players video and still camerarecorders and hun-dreds of applications for several uses either off-line and online

I also had accessories to these devices that I acquired from the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and the MACWORLD

For all intents and purposes I still continued to live an electronically led life despite the original intention of getting freed precisely from it

It turned out to be great The still and video cameras built-in to the iPad and iPhone made it easier for me to record memorable events and sites I took photographs and videos of shows and activities around the ship

In Madrid I actually ldquowalked with historyrdquo With photographs and videos to show I visited the fi rst and second residences of Jose

Rizal walked to Las Cortes Espa-ntildeolas (now Congreso de Diputados) where Rizal and his friends lobbied for Philippine rights went and ate at Viva Madrid restaurant where Rizal regularly ate his meals and walked to where ldquoLa Solidaridadrdquo was published

Also within walking distance was Ateneo de Madrid where Rizal studied English and did research Within a stone throw away is the place where the Circulo Hispano is headquartered This is the associa-tion of Filipino students and Spanish

sympathizers I also walked to see the place

where the members of the Propagan-da Movement led by Lopez Jaena regularly met to plot their lobbying efforts

When Jose Rizal delivered an ac-claimed speech honoring Luna and Hidalgo and exhorting the Filipino students to follow in the footsteps of the two honorees it was done in Hotel Ingles I certainly visited the place

The technology gadgets that I brought with the corresponding apps have indeed proven useful in record-ing and storing historical memories for easy retrieval for me other par-ties and even the next generation

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

For more information please call Melanie Dulfo of the Philippine Forum at 718-565-8862 or email at mdulfophilippineforumorg

The Philippine Forum is a New York City-based not-for-profi t organization that provides direct services training and advocacy to Filipinos and people of Filipino heritage in the United States It is also a prime mover in coalitions with other immigrant groups in advocating for immigration reform

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

It is good to hear stories from other Filipinos who tried their best in helping

relatives back in the Philip-pines Most of them were doing this noble acts for many years now and donrsquot expect anything back but just a hope that someday these recipients will become self-suffi cient Even the older folks receiv-ing some meager government benefi ts sent whatever they can afford

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

hometownLeyte Samar Daily Express |

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

Despite enthusiastic cheers from immigrant communities President Obamarsquos announcement to temporarily suspend the deportation of some undoc-umented youth should be approached with caution

This was the advice of a New York immigration attorney during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside Queens

ldquoWhile we welcome this development with open arms we need to take a closer look at this new policyrdquo lawyer Cristina Godinez said during the Cafeacute Migrante forum held on Sunday June 24 in Woodside New York

ldquoPresident Obamarsquos announcement is just a temporary relief from deportation It does not confer permanent resident (aka green card) status it is not a path to citizenship and it is certainly not amnestyrdquo Godinez said

On June 15 President Obama Presi-dent Obama announced that the US government will stop deporting young undocumented immigrants and will grant them temporary work permits These permits to stay and work in the United States come with certain conditions similar to those previously

proposed under the DREAM ActTo be eligible for deportation relief

undocumented or illegal immigrants must meet these conditions

mdashMust have come to the United States under the age of 16

mdashMust have continuously resided in the US for at least fi ve years

mdashMust be currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education develop-ment certifi cate or be an honorably discharged veteran

mdashMust not have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

mdashMust be under the age of 30The Pew Hispanic Center an im-

migration research institute estimates as many as 14 million children and young adults including 700000 between the ages of 18 and 30 could benefi t from Obamarsquos new immigration policy

Godinez however advised the public to keep in mind that this new policy is just a temporary relief

ldquoThe grant of a two-year deferred ac-tion although renewable does not tech-nically legalize an immigrantrsquos status It simply means the procedure for removal or deportation is suspendedrdquo she said

Godinez clarifi ed that the deportation relief announced by Obama is neither a law nor an executive order as earlier reported in the media The new policy was just a directive to defer deportations of young undocumented immigrants

This deferment can be undone at any time especially if a new president decides to do so ldquoWith presidential elections due in November this can hap-pen as early as January next year in the

event Obama loses his reelection bidrdquo Godinez said

The stop-deportation order is only limited to the 18-to-30-year old immi-grants and does not cover the immigra-tion status of their parents

ldquoItrsquos a diffi cult decision for young people to come out and apply for depor-tation relief and work permitrdquo Godinez said ldquoThat would also mean that they are admitting that their parents could also be undocumented that would in turn result in putting their parents in danger

of being deportedrdquoCalls to the US Citizenship and Im-

migration Services (USCIS) to inquire about the application process for depor-tation relief led to a recorded message saying that it wonrsquot be able to accept applications until mid-August

Godinez reiterated the the Obama order is not a subsititute for the Dream Act ldquoThe Dream Act needs to be passedrdquo she said

The Dream Act (acronym for Devel-opment Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a bill aimed at providing conditional permanent resident status to young immigrants It was fi rst intro-duced in the US Congress in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times

Cafeacute Migrante is a monthly forum on immigration issues held on the last Sunday of the month at the Bayanihan Community Center located at 40-21 69th St Woodside Queens

Attorney Godinez has helped hun-dreds of immigrants with visa green card and citizenship applications for the past 10 years

To get to the Bayanihan Community Center take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue

For more information please call Melanie Dulfo of the Philippine Forum at 718-565-8862 or email at mdulfophilippineforumorg

The Philippine Forum is a New York City-based not-for-profi t organization that provides direct services training and advocacy to Filipinos and people of Filipino heritage in the United States It is also a prime mover in coalitions with other immigrant groups in advocating for immigration reform

Obamarsquos stop-deportation order is not an amnesty

Com men tary tary

Keep in mind that President Obamarsquos deportation-relief order is just a temporary relief New York lawyer Cristina Godinez told the audience at the Cafeacute Migrante fo-rum on June 24 at the Bayanihan Community Center in Woodside New York

ABS CBN News | MANILA Philippines 6292012 - In a bid to upgrade the tourism accommoda-tions in the country as well as align these with international ratings stan-dards the Department of Tourism (DOT) has adopted a new ldquofi ve star grading systemrdquo as part of its newly issued National Accommodations Standards

DOT Memorandum Circular 2012-02 signed by Tourism Sec-retary Ramon Jimenez Jr on May 2 also institutes a points-based rating system ldquobased on inventory availability condition and quality of a specifi c facility as well as its servicerdquo tourism offi cials said

The new DOT accreditation guide-lines have been most anticipated by the accommodations industry as it will have a bearing on whether their establishments will be patronized by more guests

In a text message Tourism Un-dersecretary for Tourism Regulation Coordination and Resource Genera-tion Victoria Jasmin said ldquoThe ap-plication of the standards is effective immediately but the assessment [of accommodations] will start in the last quarter [of 2012]rdquo

She added that the accommoda-tion establishments will fi rst assess themselves based on the criteria and requirements under the new regu-lations ldquoafter which a third-party audit will be done to determine com-pliance with the new standards and if the self-assessment is rightrdquo

Based on the results of these as-sessments and ratings the DOT shall then issue the accreditation cer-tifi cate to the establishment via the regional offi ce which has jurisdic-tion over said establishment

The highest number of points that can be garnered by an establishment for a fi ve-star rating for instance is 1000 points A budget hotel or one-star facility on the other hand needs to garner a minimum of 251 points in its assessment

Under the new accreditation regulations there are fi ve levels of accommodation standards ranging from one to fi ve stars

a One Star 25 percent to 40 percent achievement (251 to 400 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to budget minded travelers There is a limited range of facilities and services

b Two Star 40 percent to 55 percent achievement (401 to 550 points)mdashThese enterprises appeal to the tourists seeking more than basic accommodation They offer expanded facilities and higher level of comfort

c Three Star 55 percent to 70 percent achievement (551 to 700 points)mdashThese enterprises offer a very good level of accommodation There are more spacious public areas higher quality facilities and a greater range of services

d Four Star 70 percent to 85 percent achievement (701 to 850 points)mdashThese properties are upscale in all areas Accommoda-tion is refi ned and stylish Service is responsive often including an extensive array of facilities

e Five star 85 percent to 100 percent achievement (851 to 1000 points)mdashThese properties refl ect the characteristics of luxury and sophistication The facilities are world class in every manner and the meticulous service exceeds all guest expectationsrdquo (Rule II Book 2 MC 2012-02)

Jasmin said establishments that donrsquot conform to the new standards ldquowill be given time to comply depending on the magnitude of the defi ciencyrdquo

She added that if said establish-ments are not able to correct their defi ciencies within the required time period ldquothe Mayorrsquos Permit will not be issued and therefore they can no longer operaterdquo

DOT offi cials said the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuumlr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Technical Cooperation) assisted the agencyrsquos Offi ce of Tourism Standards and Regulations ldquoin conducting a series of consultation workshops with tourism

stakeholders in key destinations in the countryrdquo prior to the formula-tion of the new accommodations standards

In Davao for instance the DOT regional offi ce held several consul-tations ldquowith our hotel and resort associations spread between 2010 and 2011 to thoroughly explain the transition to new standards as well as underscore the implementation

of mandatory accreditation of all primary tourism enterprises that in-clude hotels and resorts as indicated in RA [Republic Act] 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009rdquo said Arturo Boncato Jr regional director for the

Davao region in a separate inter-view with the BusinesMirror

He said there is a ldquomarked dif-ferencerdquo between the old and new accommodations standards Under the old regulations ldquothe classifi ca-tion was based on an inventory checklist approach focusing on the existence of facilities offered by the enterpriserdquo

He added under the new accredi-tation guidelines ldquoquality of ser-vicerdquo will also be given importance by the third-party auditors as much as the quality of facilities

The assessment covers a lot of ground ranging from the visibility of a hotel sign in the evening the use of professional security services staff grooming lighting in public areas and lounges quality of bed linen and mattresses

cleanliness of the public and pri-vate washrooms to facilities for per-sons with disabilities functionality of kitchen appliances in apartment hotels and quality of guest services

In a memorandum to Jimenez in January Jasmin said ldquoall primary tourism enterprises should be ac-credited by the DOT prior to opera-tion hence they should comply with the DOTrsquos minimum requirementsrdquo The memo was prompted by Busi-ness Mirrorrsquos story on the National Statistics Offi cersquo 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Phil-ippines

The survey which was released only that month showed that 548 of the 1475 ldquoaccommodation estab-lishmentsrdquo surveyed did not offer essential tourism services such as laundry airport transfers spamas-sage therapy services tour services

medical services cultural and recreational shows among others The survey was jointly undertaken with the DOT

It is good to hear stories from other Filipinos who tried their best in helping

relatives back in the Philip-pines Most of them were doing this noble acts for many years now and donrsquot expect anything back but just a hope that someday these recipients will become self-suffi cient Even the older folks receiv-ing some meager government benefi ts sent whatever they can afford

There is a never ending fi nancial crisis to the relatives in the native land There are plenty of nephews nieces and grandchildren that wanted to attend colleges There are siblings asking for assistance so they can afford to send their family members overseas for jobs There are some who asked for money to maintain their lifestyle or just to show off and brag to their neighbors

There are too many similar stories of relatives we helped start their businesses Some presented really good business plans and the potential of good returns It may not be a new idea but a copy of those who were successful They made it sound so good that most of us were convinced and bought their plans We did not bother to check their experiences or abilities to run such business

Needless to say we took money from our savings or got loans to help fi nance these investments In some cases they bought some land to be planted with rice or various fruit trees Other times it can be fi sh farms or poultry Most often it will be a venture in the transportation

business It may involve buying a Bus a Minivan a Jeepney or even a Tricycle so they could make some money right away but whorsquos driv-ing What about the maintenance or minor repairs Did you expect the Boss to do all that It may have worked fi ne for a year or two but later it was a source of headaches for the rich fi nanciers in the USA Nothing was saved for maintenance and eventually the vehicles were sold to pay for their accumulated debts

Some of us bought land for our relatives but we forgot one thing They donrsquot want to be farmers any-more but to be managers or business owners They canrsquot even grow their own vegetables They would rather buy some at SM City with your money The rich soil in their yard may be suited for any plant but why bother when relatives from abroad send them money regularly All they have to do is call or send text mes-sages on their latest model cellular phones purchased with your money

Fortunately there will be a few relatives who cared about your hard earned money They tried their best make your efforts worthwhile and made you proud Their kids earned college degrees and landed decent jobs Some became successful busi-ness persons They were self-suffi -cient and even helped other relatives break the cycle of poverty

Helping other people is a very noble deed but are we doing it the right way Do you feel guilty enjoy-ing a better life here so you keep sending them handouts Have you changed their lives for the better or turned them into lifetime depen-dents Maybe we can teach them how to fi sh instead of just giving them the fi sh What do you think

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

Mayor Sandy Javier gives back his blessings to his

hometownLeyte Samar Daily Express |

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

Quotation of the Week ldquoTo be trusted is a greater compliment than to be lovedrdquo George Macdonald

A Filipino Prophet and Colonial Mentality

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

BIGAY-BAWING PASIYA

Nakababahala ang nagaganap sa ating bayan

Ang ilang mahistrado ay tatangkaing ipatanggal

Dahil sa bigay-bawing desisyong kinasasangkutan

Pasiyang maging lungsod yaong labing-anim na bayan

Ang mga mamamayan ay nawawalan ng tiwala

Hinggil sa inilabas na kahatulang sala-sala

Ang Konstitusyon ng bansa ay lantarang sinisira

Kodigong dapat sundirsquoy tahasang binabale-wala

Ang Kataas-taasang Hukuman ang huling dulugan

Ng mga usaping ang hanap ay pawang kawastuan

Ibayong pag-iingat at ang masusing pag-aaral

Para maitumpak lahat katarungarsquoy mapairal

Ngunirsquot ano ang nangyayari sa kodigorsquoy lumiliwas

Binabago ang batayan ang tuntunirsquoy nilalabag

Malinaw sa Saligang Batas at doorsquoy nasasaad

Mga bayang ginawang lungsod ay lsquodi karapatdapat

lsquoDi iilang ulit pagiging lungsod ay pinayagan

Matapos pagtalakayan ang pasiyarsquoy pinalitan

At sa muling paghaharap ay tinutulan na naman

Na ang kahuli-hulihan ay pagsang-ayong tuluyan

Mayroon kayang gantimpala sa kanilang ginawa

Na hindi nabubunyag at inililihim sa madla

Palibhasarsquoy nahirati sa tiwaling namahala

Huwad ang nagtalaga na sa kanilarsquoy kumalinga

Ano bang reputasyon ang dapat na pakaingatan

Ng mga nakatogang sa mali ay nakakaramay

Ang tanging naging puhunarsquoy lakas sa kinakapitan

Inang mapagkunwari sa kapangyariharsquoy gahaman

Paano na itong bansa kung hahayaang maganap

Nababago kahit di susugan ang Saligang Batas

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

ldquoBy offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be re-fused and the conversion of many sinners will be obtainedrdquo

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

Grand opening ceremonies began with an onscreen remote broadcast of ldquoCarsrdquo stars Lightning McQueen and Mater racing across the highways of America on their way to welcome guests at the premiere Staggs and Lasseter welcomed voice talent from the movie on the stage leading up to a spectacular grand fi nale ndash the arrival of Lightning and Mater in Cars Land a chorus of roller-skaters and dancing mechanics the electrifying light-up of the neon signs that line Route 66 and a stunning fi reworks display over the mountain range of Ornament Valley

ldquoThe crown jewel of our Disney California Adventure expansion Cars Land is the extraordinary result of a close collaboration between the gifted fi lmmak-ers at Pixar Animation Studios and our talented Imagineers and cast membersrdquo Iger said ldquoItrsquos also a spectacular example of our ability to take our characters and stories and bring them to life in new and unexpected waysrdquo

ldquoMore than fi ve years ago we em-barked on a journey to realize Bob Igerrsquos vision of transforming Disney California Adventure with new attractions featur-ing our most iconic characters includ-ing Mater Lightning McQueen and the residents of Radiator Springsrdquo said Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts ldquoCars Land immerses guests in the world of lsquoCarsrsquo like never before and combines the imagination of Pixar with the creativity innovation and legend-ary storytelling that are the hallmarks of a Disney Parks experiencerdquo

ldquoWhile I love all of the movies wersquove made at Pixar the lsquoCarsrsquo fi lms are particularly close to my heart so seeing Radiator Springs come to life at Disney California Adventure is a dream come truerdquo Lasseter said ldquoThe artistry and attention to detail throughout Cars Land is absolutely incredible and I couldnrsquot be more proud of the teams at Pixar and Walt Disney Imagineering who worked side-by-side to make this project a realityrdquo

The thrilling additions of Cars Land Buena Vista Street and the Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge at Disney California Adventure add to the storytell-ing magic of the Disneyland Resort a world-class family vacation destination in Southern California with two theme parks three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district

Cars Land invites guests to explore ldquothe cutest little town in Carburetor Countyrdquo where they will enjoy three family attrac-tions showcasing places and characters from the movie Luigirsquos Flying Tires Materrsquos Junkyard Jamboree and Radiator Springs Racers one of the largest and most elaborate attractions created for a Disney theme park

Themed shops and restaurants also look familiar to fans of the movie including

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

ABS-CBN News| MANILA Phil-ippines 6292012 ndash The man who is now dubbed as the ldquoFather of Litson Manokrdquo had his share of disappoint-ments when he fi rst started out

But if Leonardo ldquoSandyrdquo Javier Jr the owner and CEO of Andokrsquos Corporation allowed disappoint-ments to overcome his passion there wouldnrsquot be 300 Andokrsquos stores across the country today

Javier was at the forefront when the ldquolitson manokrdquo (roasted chicken) craze in the Philippines began more than 20 years ago

Back then Javier said he did not have the capital to start a business and he was forced to borrow 12 chickens from his motherrsquos friend to sell

As luck would have it Javier only sold two chickens

However the aspiring entrepreneur did not stop there

Set your target

Unlike other entrepreneurs who had the capital to put up their own business Javier struggled fi nancially to jumpstart his litson manok stall

But this struggle Javier shared is what inspired him to strive harder

ldquoAng sikreto talaga diyan ay kung saan ka nanggaling sa kahirapan

You have to get out of the diffi culty in life kaya kailangan you have to set your target Kailangan labanan mo lsquoyung kahirapanrdquo he told dzMM on Thursday

Find your passion

Javier said he experimented with the ingredients to capture what we know today as the trademark An-dokrsquos taste

From the 12 chickens he started with Javierrsquos small stall along West Avenue in Quezon City boosted its daily inventory to 80 chickens

ldquoYou will start evolving Magka-karoon ka ng passion Hindi ka pwe-deng magsayang ng oras at kapag ikaw ay nagkamali tayo ay tao lang nagkakamali pero you just have to learn from your mistakes and keep goingrdquo he said

Determined and passionate Javier continued to grow Andokrsquos with its menu expanding to include pork chop sinigang fried chicken Bicol express and desserts

Donrsquot procrastinate

The success of Andokrsquos is hinged on the drive of Javier to pursue his dreams of running a restaurant busi-

lsquoFather of Litson Manokrsquo shares success story

Mayor Sandy Javier delivers his speech during the recent gathering of business leaders in Tacloban City copy2012 SARWELL Q MENIANO Leyte Samar Daily Express

Mayor Sandy Javier gives back his blessings to his

hometownLeyte Samar Daily Express |

TACLOBAN CITY 732012 ndash The desire to ldquogive backrdquo blessings has pushed businessman Leonardo ldquoSan-dyrdquo Javier Jr to serve his hometown in Leyte concentrating his efforts on converting the poor municipal-ity into a model town that would be emulated not only in the region but in the whole country Speak-ing before the recently-concluded gathering of business leaders the Javier town mayor pointed out that being a local chief executive is not a profi table business but a ldquolos-ing propositionrdquoJavier the owner of Andoks Litson Corp said that he only earns P38000 a month as mayor to include allowances but he spends up to P200000 every month for regularly travelling from Leyte to Manila to be with his family and be on top of his business ldquoItrsquos hard because I have to make a lot of sacrifi ces The only consolation is when I leave my town going back

nessBut Javier said drive alone will not

be enough if you donrsquot act on itldquoSa amin bawal ang mamaya

bawal ang bukas If you think of do-ing something and you think it will contribute to being the best ituloy mo na kaagadrdquo he said

From a corner stall in Quezon City Andokrsquos branched out to the provinces opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas in just two years

ldquoMaraming tao na may mga maga-gandang ideas ang problema hindi nila ginagawa

Kapag inumpishan mo tapusin mordquo said Javier

Donrsquot overspend

Andokrsquos became popular not only because of its distinct Filipino taste but also because of its affordable menu

One of its more popular products the Dokito Frito (fried chicken) costs less than P50

Customers come in droves to An-dokrsquos because of its practicality an ethos followed by the brandrsquos owner himself

ldquoHuwag sobra sa iyong kikitain ang iyong gagastusin Huwag mo gagastusin ang hindi mo makikitardquo Javier said

Share your blessings

With the success of Andokrsquos Javier does not forget to look back on his roots

Now the mayor of Javier town in Leyte he said he has made it a point to share his blessings to the less-fortunate

ldquoIf you share your blessings more blessings will come Kailangan tulungan mo din lsquoyung kapwa mordquo he said

Javier believes that the success he has received in his business has a deeper purpose than just earning a good living

ldquoNoong nag-umpisa ako talagang mahirap eh at masarap ang pakiram-dam ng matulungan I know how it feelsldquo he said

ldquoPag nanggaling ka sa wala that will inspire you to move on Nothing deserves better applause kung hindi lsquoyung taong natupad lsquoyung gusto niyang gawin sa buhayrdquo he added

to Manila I feel very good because I was able to help peoplerdquo Javier explained

Andoks which has over 400 outlets in the country was founded by Javier in 1985 With the absence of capital he borrowed a capital and started selling 12 roasted chickens on the fi rst day Innovations and re-sponding to market needs is Javierrsquos key in building a giant food busi-ness carrying ldquoPambansang Litson Manokrdquo slogan

Javier also owns a pharmaceutical fi rm Shore Time Hotel Boracay and an ice plant He has registered busi-nesses in the United States namely Andoks America and Andoks USA The food business fi rm was named after his fatherrsquos nickname

ldquoI am so blessed and I have to give back by deciding to run for mayor If you ask me how good a business it is no way itrsquos a losing proposition This is just an act of charity I want to help people by improving the town I want them to become educatedrdquo said Javier who is in his fi rst term as local chief executive

The attempt to seek local govern-ment post came when Mayor Javier frequently visited Leyte to open an

outlet in Palo town and in this city a few years back

ldquoI frequently visit my hometown where my grandparents made a sac-rifi ce The town was plundered for so many years People were already losing hope about life I asked my wealthy friends to help Javier I told them that if theyrsquore going to help Javier we will not be exporting those criminals anymorerdquo

ldquoPeople are extremely poor and that prompts them to go to bigger cities and commit crimes You can-not blame them because they are just there to survive but I donrsquot justify it It is our fault why we are not able to help the poorrdquo he stressed

He is confi dent that if he will apply his experiences in growing a business his hometown will become the most progressive town in the region

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

Quotation of the Week ldquoTo be trusted is a greater compliment than to be lovedrdquo George Macdonald

A Filipino Prophet and Colonial Mentality

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Hey Cover Girl(Continued from page 17)

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

Cars Land at Disney(Continued from page 13)

Grand opening ceremonies began with an onscreen remote broadcast of ldquoCarsrdquo stars Lightning McQueen and Mater racing across the highways of America on their way to welcome guests at the premiere Staggs and Lasseter welcomed voice talent from the movie on the stage leading up to a spectacular grand fi nale ndash the arrival of Lightning and Mater in Cars Land a chorus of roller-skaters and dancing mechanics the electrifying light-up of the neon signs that line Route 66 and a stunning fi reworks display over the mountain range of Ornament Valley

ldquoThe crown jewel of our Disney California Adventure expansion Cars Land is the extraordinary result of a close collaboration between the gifted fi lmmak-ers at Pixar Animation Studios and our talented Imagineers and cast membersrdquo Iger said ldquoItrsquos also a spectacular example of our ability to take our characters and stories and bring them to life in new and unexpected waysrdquo

ldquoMore than fi ve years ago we em-barked on a journey to realize Bob Igerrsquos vision of transforming Disney California Adventure with new attractions featur-ing our most iconic characters includ-ing Mater Lightning McQueen and the residents of Radiator Springsrdquo said Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts ldquoCars Land immerses guests in the world of lsquoCarsrsquo like never before and combines the imagination of Pixar with the creativity innovation and legend-ary storytelling that are the hallmarks of a Disney Parks experiencerdquo

ldquoWhile I love all of the movies wersquove made at Pixar the lsquoCarsrsquo fi lms are particularly close to my heart so seeing Radiator Springs come to life at Disney California Adventure is a dream come truerdquo Lasseter said ldquoThe artistry and attention to detail throughout Cars Land is absolutely incredible and I couldnrsquot be more proud of the teams at Pixar and Walt Disney Imagineering who worked side-by-side to make this project a realityrdquo

The thrilling additions of Cars Land Buena Vista Street and the Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge at Disney California Adventure add to the storytell-ing magic of the Disneyland Resort a world-class family vacation destination in Southern California with two theme parks three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district

Cars Land invites guests to explore ldquothe cutest little town in Carburetor Countyrdquo where they will enjoy three family attrac-tions showcasing places and characters from the movie Luigirsquos Flying Tires Materrsquos Junkyard Jamboree and Radiator Springs Racers one of the largest and most elaborate attractions created for a Disney theme park

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

Day of Divine Mercy for Fami-lies and Youth August 5 2012

Joke of the Week A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home He wanted her to see what he went through So he prayed ldquoDear lord I go to work every day and put eight hours while my wife merely stays at home I want her to know what I go through so please create a trade in our bodiesrdquo God in his infi nite compassion granted the manrsquos prayer The next morning the man awoke as a woman ldquoSherdquo cooked breakfast awakened the kids fed them and drove them to school ldquoSherdquo came home and packed up the laundry to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to withdraw money to pay the utility bills then went out shopping At 1 pm ldquosherdquo went home dusted the furniture vacuumed the carpet and watched TV while ldquosherdquo did the ironing At 9 pm ldquosherdquo was exhausted The next morning ldquosherdquo awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed ldquoLord I did not know what I asked you yesterday I was wrong to envy my wifersquos being able to stay home all day Please let us trade backrdquo The Lord replied ldquoMy son I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be more than happy to change things back to the way they were But yoursquoll have to wait for 9 months though You got pregnant last nightrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 2 2-5 Ezekiel is called by God to act as his spokesman to bring back all of Israel to repentance Even though people may not accept the words of God they will at least realize that a prophet has been sent and is among them Second Read-ing 2 Corinthians 12 7-10 In this ldquoletter in tearsrdquo Paul voiced his

own frustration with the Christians at Corinth He felt they betrayed him by transferring their loyalty to ldquosuper-apostlesrdquo because he could boast no extraordinary feats no outstanding spiritual experience and no miracles performed in his name His suffering is the epiphany of the cross of Jesus Christ Yet in becom-ing powerless and affl icted Paul is powerful

Gospel Mark 6 1-6 In the past the Hebrew people had rejected the prophets and their message The folks of Jesusrsquo hometown descen-dants of the ancient Hebrew refuse to accept Jesus as prophet and the message that he brings them History repeats itself

Refl ections Fr Mark Link SJ nar-rated the story of a Christian black student Paride Taban who fl ed the territory of Sudan when a religious persecution broke out in 1960 and went to Uganda While in Uganda Paride studied for the priesthood and was ordained When things settled down in Sudan young Fr Taban returned to his homeland He was assigned to a parish in Palotaka But his African congregation found it hard to believe that he was really a priest Fr Taban says ldquoThe people looked hard at me and asked lsquoDo you mean to say black man that you are a priest We canrsquot believe itrsquordquo These people had never had a black priest before They had always had white priests who gave them cloth-ing and medicine Young Fr Taban was from the Madi tribe and had nothing to give them He was poor like them To make matters worse Fr Taban had to introduce them to the changes of the Second Vatican Council

These changes bothered the people greatly They said to one an-other ldquoThis young black man turns our altar around and celebrates Mass in our own language He cannot be a real priestrdquo Only after a great deal of diffi culty did the people of Palo-taka fi nally accept Fr Taban

THERE IS STILL A PERSIS-TENT ldquoCOLONIAL MENTALITYrdquo among some ldquokababayansrdquo (Fili-pinorsquos) What is local or native such as an item made in the Philippines is of poor quality This way of think-ing applies not only to merchandise and other commercial products but also to the ways Filipinos treat each other and look at themselves For example there are some among the ldquokababayansrdquo who cannot believe and accept a Filipino taking the helm of a parish that used to be under the ldquowhitersquosrdquo responsibility Behind that attitude lies the mentality that ldquowhite is always superior brown is always inferiorrdquo If this is hard for a Filipino to accept this then it is more dif-fi cult for a foreigner to understand it A few religious orders based in the Philippines split up into different groups when the non-Filipino mem-bers of their congregations could not accept the fact that Filipinos as religious superiors are now assum-ing administrative roles in the order Unkind comments are said ldquoThey are just local or natives They used to be our students Who are they to tell us what to dordquo

WHEN FILIPINOS DO NOT BE-LIEVE IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE and in themselves they just donrsquot reject the prophets among them but also deny the prophet that is in everyone Is it logical to say that the way we treat others would be the same manner we look at ourselves If we donrsquot believe in our charisma as Filipinos andor Christians we donrsquot believe either in what Filipinos can do so we wallow in self-pity and rejection of ourselves and our countrymen ldquoI am only a poor lsquoprovincianorsquo (of the province) I have nothing to offerrdquo This kind of mentality is true too in religion Many of us donrsquot get involve in our parish or Christian community because of our fl imsy excuses ldquoI am a sinner unqualifi ed too old or too young too busy or too shyrdquo Re-

searchers believe that to hide onersquos disdain of whatrsquos negative in oneself would eventually lead to a cover-up that acquires in the long run a life of its own If that happens the table is turned around The ldquoderidedrdquo be-comes the ldquoderiderrdquo the ldquodespisedrdquo joins the rank of the ldquodespiserrdquo

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OUR CHARACTER FLAWS and posi-tively consider them as blessings in disguise Believe in yourself Jesus taught his town folks that they should look beyond the visible to what is hidden He is not only ldquothe carpenter the son of Maryrdquo but he is also the Son of the Unseen God Unleash the prophet that is in you and you will recognize the Filipino prophet that is among us

Quotation of the Week ldquoTo be trusted is a greater compliment than to be lovedrdquo George Macdonald

A Filipino Prophet and Colonial Mentality

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

BIGAY-BAWING PASIYA

Nakababahala ang nagaganap sa ating bayan

Dahil sa bigay-bawing desisyong kinasasangkutan

Pasiyang maging lungsod yaong labing-anim na bayan

Ang mga mamamayan ay nawawalan ng tiwala

Hinggil sa inilabas na kahatulang sala-sala

Ang Konstitusyon ng bansa ay lantarang sinisira

Kodigong dapat sundirsquoy tahasang binabale-wala

Ang Kataas-taasang Hukuman ang huling dulugan

Ng mga usaping ang hanap ay pawang kawastuan

Ibayong pag-iingat at ang masusing pag-aaral

Matapos pagtalakayan ang pasiyarsquoy pinalitan

At sa muling paghaharap ay tinutulan na naman

Na ang kahuli-hulihan ay pagsang-ayong tuluyan

Mayroon kayang gantimpala sa kanilang ginawa

Na hindi nabubunyag at inililihim sa madla

Palibhasarsquoy nahirati sa tiwaling namahala

Huwad ang nagtalaga na sa kanilarsquoy kumalinga

Ano bang reputasyon ang dapat na pakaingatan

Ng mga nakatogang sa mali ay nakakaramay

Ang tanging naging puhunarsquoy lakas sa kinakapitan

Inang mapagkunwari sa kapangyariharsquoy gahaman

Paano na itong bansa kung hahayaang maganap

Nababago kahit di susugan ang Saligang Batas

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

ldquoBy offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be re-fused and the conversion of many sinners will be obtainedrdquo

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

Grand opening ceremonies began with an onscreen remote broadcast of ldquoCarsrdquo stars Lightning McQueen and Mater racing across the highways of America on their way to welcome guests at the premiere Staggs and Lasseter welcomed voice talent from the movie on the stage leading up to a spectacular grand fi nale ndash the arrival of Lightning and Mater in Cars Land a chorus of roller-skaters and dancing mechanics the electrifying light-up of the neon signs that line Route 66 and a stunning fi reworks display over the mountain range of Ornament Valley

ldquoThe crown jewel of our Disney California Adventure expansion Cars Land is the extraordinary result of a close collaboration between the gifted fi lmmak-ers at Pixar Animation Studios and our talented Imagineers and cast membersrdquo Iger said ldquoItrsquos also a spectacular example of our ability to take our characters and stories and bring them to life in new and unexpected waysrdquo

ldquoMore than fi ve years ago we em-barked on a journey to realize Bob Igerrsquos vision of transforming Disney California Adventure with new attractions featur-ing our most iconic characters includ-ing Mater Lightning McQueen and the residents of Radiator Springsrdquo said Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts ldquoCars Land immerses guests in the world of lsquoCarsrsquo like never before and combines the imagination of Pixar with the creativity innovation and legend-ary storytelling that are the hallmarks of a Disney Parks experiencerdquo

ldquoWhile I love all of the movies wersquove made at Pixar the lsquoCarsrsquo fi lms are particularly close to my heart so seeing Radiator Springs come to life at Disney California Adventure is a dream come truerdquo Lasseter said ldquoThe artistry and attention to detail throughout Cars Land is absolutely incredible and I couldnrsquot be more proud of the teams at Pixar and Walt Disney Imagineering who worked side-by-side to make this project a realityrdquo

The thrilling additions of Cars Land Buena Vista Street and the Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge at Disney California Adventure add to the storytell-ing magic of the Disneyland Resort a world-class family vacation destination in Southern California with two theme parks three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district

Cars Land invites guests to explore ldquothe cutest little town in Carburetor Countyrdquo where they will enjoy three family attrac-tions showcasing places and characters from the movie Luigirsquos Flying Tires Materrsquos Junkyard Jamboree and Radiator Springs Racers one of the largest and most elaborate attractions created for a Disney theme park

Themed shops and restaurants also look familiar to fans of the movie including

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Alinewrsquos and Paulorsquos eyes locked In silent agreement they guessed who the traitor could be-- (Next Chapter- Julius Madrigal a PMA cadet shops for a New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 5 - PauloldquoCharity begins at homerdquo we have

learned It should never end there but it defi nitely starts thereldquoGOD helps those who help themselvesrdquo

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

Sodium nitrate (or sodium nitrite) is used as a preservative coloring and flavoring in bacon ham hot dogs luncheon meats corned beef smoked fish and other processed meats This ingredient which sounds harmless is actually highly carcino-

genic once it enters the human diges-tive system There it forms a variety of nitrosamine compounds that enter the bloodstream and wreak havoc with a number of internal organs the liver and pancreas in particular Sodium nitrite is widely regarded as a toxic ingredient and the USDA actually tried to ban this additive in the 1970s but was vetoed by food manufacturers who complained they had no alternative for preserving

packaged meat products Why does the industry still use it Simple this chemical just happens to turn meats bright red Itrsquos actually a color fixer and it makes old dead meats appear fresh and vibrant

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

better For instance we can see right now that electricity is actually so expensive that it will save us money to wait a while before switching on the washing machine And perhaps we should also turn off the hot water boiler for a few hours

notAccording to Vermesan the new grid will also be a two-way sys-tem If you have more energy than you can use you can sell it to the grid This means that small energy producers urban districts with energy-plus houses that produce more electricity than they consume and motorists with electric cars that are part of a cooperative scheme can feed energy to the grid and act as en-ergy companies alongside the likes of Hafslund and NorgesEnergi

lsquoWe will be able to move energy across the grid in the same way as we now move datarsquo he says

lsquoMoving energyrsquo lsquoYesrsquo Using the Internet you will be able to control where energy is delivered by identifying yourself your location and what type of energy you need -- all made possible via two-way communication and roaming as with mobile phones

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom (In the last chapter rebels am-bushed the government soldiers who massacred Igorots and burned their village)

The stars twinkled like in jubilation with the men at their camp that moonlit night

Alinewrsquos men had joined Paulorsquos at their main camp and most were now around a campfi re that blazed bright at the middle of a clearing One strummed on a guitar leading in singing revolutionary songs Others were in various repose of rest beneath trees on fl atter grounds anywhere within the perimeters of the camp

The air was still jubilant with mut-terings on the successful ambush They have a new arsenal of guns enough for a new squad Once again they have proven that the enemy is blind in the wild and the fi ghters being masters of the terrain are dominant in any battle even if the enemy is better armed True a thousand series of this kind of ambush will annihilate the forces of the govern-ment in the long run

Only Paulo appeared not to be cel-ebrating He held back his smiles

Now alone with Alinew both hunched over a bamboo lashed table The kero-sene lamp strung on a tripod that lit the table appeared to be dimmer when Paulo said ldquoThat was too easyrdquo

Alinew had earlier sensed Paulorsquos unease He had notice that he was not celebrating as much ldquoAndrdquo Alinew posed

ldquoThat squad must have been just simply a probing patrolrdquo

Alinew stared at Paulo Paulo maintained his hair trimmed as

close to what it was before ndash crew cut with its side walls razored clean His face was shaven He towered taller than most men in the group

Among all of them Alinew respected the opinions of Paulo when it comes to military matters of the enemy Paulo knows the movements of the enemy their strategies their maneuvers and most everything about them He knows because Paulo used to be with the enemy

He was with the enemy even a gradu-ate of its highest military academy not initially aware that he was with the ene-my He believed that there was integrity in his service to protect the motherland against foreign invaders until it evolved in him that the military forces were only instruments of those who control the government those few who leech upon the blood of the majority those few who keep the downtrodden in their stations of poverty want and helplessness with no escape from their being oppressed He thought there was integrity until it dawned on him that his seniors grew their potbellies in the service of the few and whose integrity meant to be willing puppets in atrocity against the majority they have ironically solemnly pledge to serve

He found his brand of integrity with the revolutionary forces whose armed men were bound to serve the people the majority dedicated to fi ght for the oppressed even at the beckon of the ultimate sacrifi ce

That made him an ultimate fi ghter ndash knowing both sides of the enemy of the enemy

He had then adopted his new name Paulo after St Paul who used to persecute Christians but have become a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ when he stumbled upon the light

Paulo unfurled a map over the table He fl ooded it with a fl ashlight to supple-ment the dimness of the lamp ldquoAc-cording to reports helicopters had been dropping pasistas at Untugan Sinap-ang and Lubuagan since three days agordquo he said stabbing his fi nger at the places he mentioned

Alinew noted that their main camp was smacked at the center of the triad

ldquoThere must be two battalions out thererdquo Paulo said ldquoAnd as Irsquove said the squad you ambushed must be just a feeler group What is disturbing is they are concentrating larger forces at passages known only to us They seem to know where all our possible escape routes arerdquo

As there are snakes in every forest there are also turncoats among the revo-lutionaries Among them those coming from the petty-burgis class are the most prone to be traitors

While from the ranks of the peasants and the workers there could also be trai-tors they are more prone to be steadfast in carrying out the revolution

The peasants who are the majority of the oppressed and the most downtrod-den are resolute and compose the bulk of the peoplersquos army They may have owned a simple nipa hut and a carabao or two but they are not enough to be returning to when the harshness of the revolution befalls the peasants And the peasants are well versed with harsh-ness ndash with the elements of nature with their struggle with the land in pursuit of their produce in the harshness whipped upon them by the landlords they have to be servile to from their past generations and which they want to end for their future generations

The workers do not own anything ex-cept their strength exerted to produce for those they have to labor for Most borne from the peasantry who seek better lives in the urban jungle they may even lose the very shirts on their backs should their strength fade to nothingness They have nothing to return to when the harshness of the revolution befalls them This makes them the most resolute among the revolutionary forces

The petty-burgis are of the middle class Although they could be catalysts of the revolution by their academic com-prehension of the revolutionary theories they have acumens they could return to Though they could be the loudest drums to espouse the revolution due to their sponge like absorption of theories they could be the same drums ndash hollow from the resoluteness of carrying out the principles when harshness of the revolu-tion befalls them If they choose to they could go back to their warm beds their steaming soup their parties their former stations in life Sometimes even at the expense of spilled blood of former comrades

Indeed in any Battle Against Pov-erty individual or personal commitment presupposing responsibility is a necessary ingredient It begins within us and extends to our immediate and extended families friends neighbors and communities

Thatrsquos why in preparation for this on-going and lifetime battle we fi rst have to arm ourselves with all the tools necessary to be effective warriors against poverty and hunger We owe it to our parents who had given priority to these tools Now we are extending the same assistance to our descendants

Sometimes assistance from immediate families are not enough This is why there is a need for the services provided by the government the church employers and other community-based organizations that are created for charitable educational and other purposes If each individual is able to take care of himself and his family by obtaining the right tools to fi ght poverty I have no doubt that together as a community we would conquer this archenemy

THE ldquoLITTLE MIRACLESrdquo Tech Tools Against Poverty(Reprinted from ldquoTech It From My Barberrdquo)

Education is the best antidote to pov-erty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and math is a good foundation to access more information and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a lot of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technology that makes information knowledge and educa-tion accessible available and affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to educa-tion health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commercial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhighways or railways the government may have to build the information infrastructure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible avail-able and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philip-pine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infrastructure To go with it I also proposed what I called a

BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY (Last of the Series)

Personal Commitment and the ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo

Rural Electronifi cation ProgramThis would have guaranteed Internet

access in the remotest areas It would have built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and Internet access

Online access means access to knowl-edge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption in-volving Philippine Government offi cials

It should not stop the Philippine govern-ment from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursuing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (On-line Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

MY BARBER RIGHTLY OPINES ldquoWe are hopeless regarding natural calam-ities We can only minimize its effects by preparing for any fortuitous eventuallyrdquo

These unforeseen and unexpected events are called ldquoActs of GODrdquo So amidst having assistance from the govern-ment the church and other institutions be they profi t or non-profi t amidst our God-given talents Google GoodReader online access and other ldquolittle miraclesrdquo fi nite beings like us still resort to what we universally call ldquoPRAYERSrdquo

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

ldquoBy offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be re-fused and the conversion of many sinners will be obtainedrdquo

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

ldquoBy offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be re-fused and the conversion of many sinners will be obtainedrdquo

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

drifted in the open sea for four days before they were rescued by fishermen off Ilocos Sur Four others remain missing

ldquoWe were waving our clothes and Styrofoam box cover as the ship ap-proached us but it went right to usrdquo he said

Balmores was reacting to a state-ment of Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II on Thursday that the foreign vessel did not ram the fishing boat but just swept past it with great force kicking up huge waves

Quoted by reporters in Manila Roxas said the crew members of the

fishing boat ldquotied their boat (to the artificial reef) so they wonrsquot drift hellip and while there the cargo vessel passed by (but) did not ram themrdquo

Balmores on Friday clarified that their boat was no longer tied to the artificial reef (ldquopayawrdquo) off this coastal town when the ship crushed their boat

ldquoThe rope we used to tie our boat to the payaw snapped on Tuesday night (June 19) when the waves became biggerrdquo he said

Because of this he said they were already drifting in the open sea about 78 nautical miles from this town when the incident happened the next day

When it was clear to him and his companions that the ship was not stopping Balmores said they all jumped out of their impaired boat to avoid harm

Balmores his cousin Edemio Bal-mores the boatrsquos skipper Marcelino Damian and Christopher Carbonel

were rescued on June 24 four days after the incident by fishermen from Magsingal Ilocos Sur Carbonel died in a Vigan City hospital the fol-lowing day

On Wednesday the PCG deployed a helicopter and a tugboat to scour the waters west of Ilocos Sur for the

missing fishermenndashAmante Reson-able Fred Celino Arnold Garcia and Domy de los Santos of Bolinao town in Pangasinan

its searchNavy Lieutenant Jomark Angue

ldquoOur search remains suspended today because of the prevailing weather conditionrdquo Angue said Friday in a text message But he said the search will resume when the weather improves

102-year old Filipino

from the shoalrsquos lagoon to defuse tensionsrdquo in the areardquo

It appears that after the Philippine ships left the Shoal Chinarsquos ships re-mained and even occupied the Shoal as the Inquirer front page photo appeared to confirm Once again the Philippines had been snookered by China as previously occurred in 1994 when Philippine Navy ships left the Panganiban Reef mdash other-wise known as Mischief Reef mdash because of a typhoon only to return to find Chinarsquos Navy occupying the reef mdash located only 87 miles from Palawan and almost 600 miles from China China has since constructed a concrete fortress on Mischief Reef

The stark front page photo of Chi-nese soldiers waving Chinarsquos flag on the Shoal prompted an emergency national telephone conference call on Monday June 18 by members of the US Pinoys for Good Gov-ernance (USP4GG) to discuss the implications of this new escalation of the conflict What the group ndash which sponsored the May 11 global protests against Chinarsquos intrusion in the Scarborough Shoal ndash feared had apparently materialized ndash China had occupied the Shoal

While members were deliberat-ing the course of action to take in light of this grave development frantic calls were made to Philip-pine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials to verify whether China had actually seized control of the Shoal But no verification was obtained before the conference call meeting ended so another confer-ence call was set for the next night to confirm Chinese occupation of the Shoal

The next day Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin warned that if China did not withdraw its ships from the Shoal then he would order the return to the Shoal of Phil-ippine Navy ships

This raised the spectre of the 1988 incident when Vietnam Navy sailors sought to restore the flag of Vietnam on Johnson Reef in the Paracel Islands off Vietnam When the Chinese flag was removed the Chinese Navy fired on the unarmed Vietnamese sailors on the shoal and mowed down all 77 of them Video footage of the massacre was filmed by the Chinese Navy and aired in China to show the resolve of the mighty Chinese Peoplersquos Liberation Navy

Could this bloody Vietnam sce-nario be repeated in the Scarborough Shoal

Not according to Max Boot In his June 24 2012 article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal (ldquoChina Starts to Claim the Seasrdquo) Boot asserts that ldquoin fact China is the classic bully with a glass jawrdquo

Boot cites the example of the tiny Pacific Island of Palau with a popu-lation of just 20000 ldquoIn late March at virtually the same time that the Scarborough Shoal standoff was beginningrdquo Boot writes ldquoa Chinese fishing vessel illegally entered Palaursquos waters When the poachers ignored repeated demands that they leave an area designated as a shark sanctuary police from Palaursquos Fish and Wildlife Division opened fire trying to sink the offending vesselrdquo

ldquoThe result one fisherman dead and 25 captured A couple of weeks later under the terms of a deal with China the poachers were fined $1000 each and flown back home The Chinese must have been furious but their diplomat on the scene had nothing to say except ldquoit is a good outcomerdquo

As speculation mounted about

whether China would react as it did in Vietnam in 1988 or as it did in Palau in April of 2012 news came from DFA officials that the photo

used on the front page of the In-quirer was taken 10 years ago and was posted on the China Embassy website China has not physically occupied the Shoal and planted its flag there at least not yet

On June 22 members of the US Pinoys for Good Governance joined members of the US Vietnamese community in mounting a dem-onstration in front of the United Nations building in New York to protest Chinarsquos ldquocreeping invasionrdquo of their countries Leaders of the two communities announced that they were jointly launching a nationwide boycott of China-made products

According to Eric Lachica of USP4GG ldquoif even one million of us out of the four million Filipinos in the US stop buying Chinese prod-ucts or goods we will create a huge financial penalty on Chinardquo

While an economic boycott of China primarily directed at Walmart stores was being launched in the US the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on June 25 that ldquoa Chinese vessel last week rammed a Philip-pine fishing boat north of the dis-puted Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) killing a Filipino fisherman and leav-ing four others missingrdquo

The article reported that the ram-ming of the Philippine boat causing the death of 32-year old Bolinao fisherman Christopher Carbonel ldquomay have been the first casualty in the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoalrdquo Two days earlier the state-owned China News Agency (CNA) reported on Saturday that a Chinese official had ordered navy ships to target ldquoFilipino vessels that hang aroundrdquo Scarborough Shoal ldquoand donrsquot leaverdquo

The Inquirer further reported ldquoThe order of Rear Adm Yin Zhuo direc-tor of the Peoplersquos Liberation Army Navyrsquos (PLAN) Information Expert Committee came as an answer to President Benigno Aquinorsquos state-ment on Wednesday that he would order Philippine vessels back to the shoal if air surveillance found China still had vessels thererdquo

The CNA reported Admiral Yin as saying Chinese naval troops should board and search Philippine government ships and private fish-ing vessels In doing so Yin said Chinese troops ldquomust try to maintain restraint not force not hurt peoplerdquo when going after Philippine ships

found in waters near Scarborough Shoal But he affirmed to Com-munist Party Peoplersquos Daily that Chinarsquos Navy would not hesitate to

use deadly force against its enemiesThe following day the Philippine

Coast Guard announced that a Hong Kong-registered commercial ship the Peach Mountain was most likely the vessel that rammed a Philippine fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea on June 20 killing a Filipino fisherman and leaving four others missing

But whether it was an official government ship or a commercial vessel the question remains was the ramming of the Philippine fishing boat an accident

Not according to Ted Laguatan ldquoThe collision was not accidentalrdquo he wrote ldquoIt is a big wide ocean out there and for small boats itrsquos practi-cally impossible to have collisions Also if it was accidental the Chi-nese would have attempted to save the Filipino fisherman This was intentional to provoke the Philip-pines and see what kind of capability and resolve the Philippines has in holding on to its territories and see also how America will reactrdquo

ldquoMalacanang and DFA will natu-rally say it was accidental because of the implications involved if they tell the people itrsquos intentional It means a direct confrontation with China which of course will blatantly just confirm our military weakness and incapability to defendrdquo Ted wrote

At this point China is not yet ready to give Admiral Yin the order he craves to ldquouse deadly forcerdquo against the Philippines There is too much uncertainty about what the US response will be to such an attack China is likely to announce that it is pulling its paramilitary vessels away from the lagoon while still remain-ing in the vicinity of the Shoal to protect the fishing vessels there It will also do without openly admit-ting that it is part of the agreement negotiated with the Philippines that Sec Del Rosario had previously announced

In its May 28 2012 editorial the Nation magazine sounded this omi-nous warning ldquoIf the current tension continues in South China Sea espe-cially between the Philippines and China it could lead to an all-out war This is not an alarmistrsquos warning but a real concern With poisonous rhetoric and growing tension there is a possibility that conflicting par-ties would cross the line This could be a result of miscalculationrdquo

The temperatures in the Shoal are rising and a serious miscalculation

may easily push it to a boiling point[Send comments to Rodel50

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

ldquoBy offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be re-fused and the conversion of many sinners will be obtainedrdquo

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

Q Do you heal

A I am not a healer Jesus is the healer that is why I am forbidden to pray over or to lay hands Cardinal Vidal ad-vised me that after my talk we will have a veneration to the image of the Divine Mercy so that we will ask di-rectly from the Lord for our healing Not through me So if a healing happen through veneration it is Jesus who healed you not me

Q Please describe how Jesus looks like

A Well from among the many pictures of our Lord there are similarities but not totally because actually if you are in front of the Lord you cannot just totally describe your feeling you cannot just totally describe your satisfaction you cannot

just totally describe your happiness because He is everything He is ev-erything You cannot totally describe

the Lord because He is everything But as to what I saw He is taller

than me slim and then if you look at him at a distance you can say that His hair is blonde It is because He has a gold aura and because of the refl ec-tion of the aura you can say his hair is blonde But if He is right in front of you his hair is black straight but wavy long and really very good looking His eyes are blue his skin is pinkish he has pointed nose very red lips white and perfect teeth He also has a beard and if He smiles you will see His dimples If He smiles you will see His dimples And He is more polite than me because every conversation it is always accompanied by please Every conversation it is always accompanied by please That is why I said how humble our Lord is

Daily Meditation

A Lifelong Journey

Going home is a lifelong journey

There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment Before we know it we are lost in lustful fanta-sies or angry ruminations Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness

Spiritual disciplines such as pray-ing fasting and caring are ways to help us return home As we walk home we often realise how long the way is But let us not be discour-aged Jesus walks with us and speaks to us on the road When we listen carefully we discover that we are already home while on the way

By Ryan Hansen

I work at a supermarket and one day while passing by a magazine rack at a checkout I saw on one of the magazine covers the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life

In fact she was beyond beautiful almost terribly so

Not a blemish could be found She radiated sensuality and feminine per-fection She instantly captivated me

I was hypnotized in a love-drunk stupor Her fl awless skin shined like glass her gratuitous curves more exhilarating than any roller coaster ride She was a freak of beauty the Frankenstein of supermodels As she ran her hands through her cascading

hair seductively boom I realized in a moment that I needed to snap out of it

All right Cover Girl so yoursquore trying to seduce me get me to look inside this magazine see more of you with probably less clothing Yoursquore trying to advance into my heart and conquer it You want me to adore

you Well you have stolen my gaze but you havenrsquot won my heart

Not yetI waged a battle not to see her as an

object of pleasure Irsquom not sure who made her so captivating and intoxicat-ing but like Romeo possessed with the desire to drink in Julietrsquos sweet

Hey Cover Girl Yoursquore A Gorgeous Woman But I Want To See The Woman God Made

ldquoBy offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be re-fused and the conversion of many sinners will be obtainedrdquo

ldquoIt is required that all undertake to widely spread and make known this devotion to the Holy Face of Jesusrdquo

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

mentality like me to hear that our country is becoming an attractive proposition for visitors and investors due to the rise of Asian economies and the slowdown in the West

FINDING THE LOST FILIPINO

When I fi rst landed in California in 1966 as a 16 year old American Field Service scholar I was totally captivated by the technicolor world of Hollywood and the endless fun of the Beach Boys I came back a year later to study in Ateneo as an ldquoamboyrdquo hiding my Ilonggo accent - and my past as a poor boy from a public high school in Bacolod City - with an exaggerated American twang to show the ldquocoradicplusmnosrdquo in the campus that I spoke better English than them One year in America helped erase my insecurity from a lack of pedigree in the premier uni-versity of the Filipino elite

I guess I was an addict to anything American or imported then Made in the Philippines never seemed good enough

Over the years it has always been for me - and for many Filipinos like me - that everything was right in America and everything was wrong in the Philippines We exaggerated our faults - our politicians were corrupt (there were bigger crooks in Wall Street) our poor were lazy (adding insult to injury to those who were denied justice and opportu-nity) our traffi c was crazy (LA is worse)which blind-sided us to our many good qualities and potential to be a great nation Sadly we simply gave up on ourselves early bashed ourselves unreasonably accepted poverty as our fate and played bad politics as the only game in town

Somehow I understood why people left and their skepticism over my lack of pragmatism for stay-ing when I regained my soul as a Filipino and my decision not to give up on our country because of Gawad Kalinga Ending poverty in the Phil-ippines was a pipe dream for most in the beginning of our nation-building journey

HAPPY TO BE HOME

These last ten days however the mood was refreshingly different al-though it had been slowly changing in the last ten years for a growing number of believers in our radical optimism about the motherland

I was affi rmed by many hopeful statements made and new insights gained on this trip

ldquoI realised I am a Filipino born and raised in Americardquo GK USA Chairman Tony Olaes acknowledg-ing his deep connection to his roots ldquoand my business success here means nothing if I cannot help the Philippines in nation-buildingrdquo

ldquoThe Filipino does well here and gives back to those he left behindrdquo GK Canada Chairman Pidoy Pacis spoke about the success and gener-osity of Filipinos in his Saladmaster team who donated a GK village in his hometown in Pototan Iloilo

ldquoThere is no life for me here now The United States has been good to me but my children are gone my home is empty I have just sold my clinic and plan to live in the Philip-pines where therersquos a bigger purpose waiting for merdquonotdagger from pediatri-cian Linda Punzalan of Port Arthur Texas

ldquoI want to sell my house in Staten Island so I can do more medical mission in the Philippines and help out in the Enchanted Farmrdquo from my Ilocano host Dr Tony Buendia another successful UST doctor still practising in Pennsylvania as he shared his new career scenario with us over blueberry pie dessert that he baked in his plush home

ldquoDo you have a place for a young investment banker in your organi-sation to handle the social venture capital fund for GKCSI (Center for Social Innovation)rdquo was a straight-forward question from a 23 year old recent Harvard graduate now working for Morgan Stanley in Wall street who followed me to Madison Ave after the parade

Even my best friend from college who has a comfortable life in Can-ada was proud to tell me over steak and beer dinner at his club house that he and his wife are ldquohappy to be Filipinos againrdquo as dual citizens after 25 years in Ontario working as a vice president of a Canadian bank and raising two grown-up kids who have left their big empty nest in Missasauga to fi nd their place in the world

HAPPY TO BE HONEST

So much to take in and process and so much to do with so little time for a senior citizen like me

But right now I just want to enjoy this awesome moment of inspiration

Many here are excited but do not fully comprehendnotdagger the mind-blowing outcome of the impeach-ment that they watched religiously over TFC and the new image that the world is beginning to see - that the Philippines can be the land of the honest - of trustworthy lawyers and judges who cannot be bought of politicians who will follow their conscience and businessmen who pay the right taxes and have a big heart for just causes

The possibility of ending corrup-tion is a big attraction for Filipinos abroad to come home and those who are here not to leave

This will not remain merely wish-ful thinkingnotdagger if we donrsquot allow the cynics and the critics to have the last say It will entail huge perseverance from all of us to purge corruption out of our system beginning with a simple resolve from us men - who are generally more dishonest than women - not to cheat on our spouse or on our tax declaration But it is a mind-boggling beginning that calls for great rejoicing and dancing in the streets

LIVE WITH HONOR

Integrity is a big legacy from PNoy that we cannot afford to squander no matter who succeeds him in 2016 It should in fact be the biggest consideration in our choice of future leaders

Filipinos in North America have shown that they can live with honor through honest hard work

They belong to the top bracket of taxpayers among the ethnic groups in the US and Canada They declare and pay the right taxes for their hard-earned income

Together with other Asians they now belong to the least poor Fili-pinos when properly motivated and compensated will work long hours and take on several jobs to achieve quality of life Poverty is not his destiny if his spirit - and his environ-ment - is right

Filipinos have the lowest rate of homelessness among ethnic groups in the streets of America It is not his nature to be a squatter

Corporations like Tim Horton Canadarsquos better version of Star-bucks prefer Filipinos in their staff - 70 of them - because they can still smile despite the early morning long queues in dead winter

Filipinos are a happy people despite the big sacrifi ces and the bad storms in life

FIGHT FOR HONOR

As I prepare to leave for South Korea today for one last speaking engagement before I see my family again I can hardly move my 62 year old bones from nearly two weeks of intense activities to spread the good news about our struggle for self-respect But hope keeps my heart youngnotdagger and purpose gives me the energy to cope

One thing is clearer to me as I get oldernotdagger The fi ght for honor must begin with me

I cannot expect integrity in others if I do not demand it from myself fi rst

I cannot live with honor as a Fili-pino if Inotdagger compromise my values or allow the corrupt to steal and cheat and choose not to do anything about it

I cannot live with honor as a Cath-olic if Inotdagger treat the poor as a beggar like Lazarus worthy only of scraps

from my table or a squatter deserv-ing only of a shanty for a home

My fi ght for honor is a fi ght I cannot afford to lose for the sake of Filipinos coming after me

I cannot die with honor if I do not fi ght for honor

Yes I love the thought that my grandchildren will be known by the world as Filipinos who come from the land of the honest long after Irsquom gone

Poem No 38

There is no such thing as a garden

Where everything is in its proper order

We have created the illusion ofa garden

The truth is only the laws of the jungle prevails

-- In chaos there is order

What we mortals perceived as chaos

Is nothing more than our limited perception

Of the Divine at play

We can only awe and gasp at the fearful splendor

Manifested at its handiwork

We cannot do anything

But watch and observe surrender our will

And appreciate both the awesome beauty and horror

of life

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

ldquoThe crown jewel of our Disney California Adventure expansion Cars Land is the extraordinary result of a close collaboration between the gifted fi lmmak-ers at Pixar Animation Studios and our talented Imagineers and cast membersrdquo Iger said ldquoItrsquos also a spectacular example of our ability to take our characters and stories and bring them to life in new and unexpected waysrdquo

ldquoMore than fi ve years ago we em-barked on a journey to realize Bob Igerrsquos vision of transforming Disney California Adventure with new attractions featur-ing our most iconic characters includ-ing Mater Lightning McQueen and the residents of Radiator Springsrdquo said Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts ldquoCars Land immerses guests in the world of lsquoCarsrsquo like never before and combines the imagination of Pixar with the creativity innovation and legend-ary storytelling that are the hallmarks of a Disney Parks experiencerdquo

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions

now we are also investing in the next generation of Filipi-nosrdquo the report said

Social Welfare and Devel-opment Secretary Corazon Soliman for her part said much remains to be done even though the Philippines has achieved much in encouraging gender equality

ldquoIf human beings were discrimi-nated according to gender then development is incompleterdquo Soli-man said

She said of the 74 million under-employed in the country 324 per-cent or 24 million are women while 676 percent or 5 million are men

Soliman also noted that a woman heads one in every fi ve families and has more income compared to a male-headed family

ldquoIn addition these female heads are more highly educated than the male-led familiesrdquo she said

Soliman said majority of micro-borrowers are women as they are considered more credit-worthy than their male counterparts

She said the Philippines is also known globally for having two female heads of state

ldquoHowever men continue to domi-nate majority of the senior posts in electoral positions where women account for only 232 percentrdquo she said

Hey Cover Girl(Continued from page 17)

Javier is a circumferential road that will make all barangays accessible from the town center and a trad-ing hub located along the national highway

Recently a Convergence Agro-enterprise Cluster Development Projects was launched in Javier with projected P106 billion income in the next six years focusing on eight farm products

ldquoAs a mayor I can see the hope in the peoplersquos eyes I will apply in my town what Irsquove learned in Andoks I can do more for Andoks but Irsquom leaving it to my children to keep it going I will concentrate on local governancerdquo

Located 73 kilometers away from Tacloban City Javier is a 4th class municipality with a land area of approximately 14180 hectares

The mayor is the grandson of Daniel Falcon Javier from Sogod Southern Leyte and a former princi-pal of Cebu Normal School in Cebu City About 1914 Daniel came to explore the surrounding area of the new settlement until he came upon Brgy Bugho under Abuyog town

Impressed by the fertility of the soil he started staking out his claims in Bugho He initiated projects in the community especially on educating the villagers and farming The area became the municipality of Bugho in 1961

In December 1965 the municipal council unanimously approved a resolution to change the name of the municipality of Bugho to Javier in honor of the late Daniel Javier who died in 1957

In 1972 Danielrsquos son Domingo Javier was elected mayor Within a few months after his assumption of offi ce and before Martial Law road networks were vastly improved (Sarwell Q Meniano Leyte Samar Daily Express) -- END

lips these magazines know that the fi re of passion is easily kindled in those who are lonely as they fi ll their shopping carts with groceries

I look beyond the cover of the magazine and that there were articles about her inside I turned to them carefully guarding my eyes so that I saw only the text I read about her life She lived in a distant part of the world in a different reality than I do She had been divorced and her brother had been murdered When I read that she became a real person to me no longer a dream girl She suffered in life just like I did She even shared the same faith Who was she I wondered I wanted to know more What was the real story deep inside that googly outer shell

Inside the magazine were articles all about polishing a womanrsquos exterior ranging from make-up tips fashion hair care skin treatments cosmetics and exercise to diet I was puzzled that there were no articles emphasiz-ing the inner qualities of women like her ability to listen and empathize her compassion and humor her silence and devotion her encouraging words and feminine calmness her soft voice her secrets and modesty

These precious inner qualities are becoming so rare and lost in a world bent on selling women as objects and training men to lust Even though in-ner qualities donrsquot sell magazines it is that inner life that is the truest part of who a woman is When you discover that you have discovered the real treasure and beauty of a woman

Although your exterior beauty is awesome to behold Cover Girl however long it lasts it is not your appearance that draws me now It is your inner self I hope that will not be lost by the many hours you spend in front of mirrors and cameras Will you develop virtues charity towards others

How many red carpets will you walk and parties will you attend instead of being alone discovering yourself instead of being adored not by all but adoring the All in prayer by devel-oping your spiritual life instead of mindless talk shows taking up your time developing your creative talents and intelligence instead of sacrifi cing so much to fi t the perfect fi tted jeans sacrifi ce for those who have nothing

I pray Cover Girl that you will live in a pure and modest way so that men will see you not as an object but as a person I choose not to indulge in your Cover Girl dreams so I turn you around Sister and let you go thank-ful that I understand what true beauty is knowing that God made you for a purpose not as an object As His masterpiece His daughter

Cars Land at Disney(Continued from page 13)

Grand opening ceremonies began with an onscreen remote broadcast of ldquoCarsrdquo stars Lightning McQueen and Mater racing across the highways of America on their way to welcome guests at the premiere Staggs and Lasseter welcomed voice talent from the movie on the stage leading up to a spectacular grand fi nale ndash the arrival of Lightning and Mater in Cars Land a chorus of roller-skaters and dancing mechanics the electrifying light-up of the neon signs that line Route 66 and a stunning fi reworks display over the mountain range of Ornament Valley

ldquoThe crown jewel of our Disney California Adventure expansion Cars Land is the extraordinary result of a close collaboration between the gifted fi lmmak-ers at Pixar Animation Studios and our talented Imagineers and cast membersrdquo Iger said ldquoItrsquos also a spectacular example of our ability to take our characters and stories and bring them to life in new and unexpected waysrdquo

ldquoMore than fi ve years ago we em-barked on a journey to realize Bob Igerrsquos vision of transforming Disney California Adventure with new attractions featur-ing our most iconic characters includ-ing Mater Lightning McQueen and the residents of Radiator Springsrdquo said Tom Staggs chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts ldquoCars Land immerses guests in the world of lsquoCarsrsquo like never before and combines the imagination of Pixar with the creativity innovation and legend-ary storytelling that are the hallmarks of a Disney Parks experiencerdquo

ldquoWhile I love all of the movies wersquove made at Pixar the lsquoCarsrsquo fi lms are particularly close to my heart so seeing Radiator Springs come to life at Disney California Adventure is a dream come truerdquo Lasseter said ldquoThe artistry and attention to detail throughout Cars Land is absolutely incredible and I couldnrsquot be more proud of the teams at Pixar and Walt Disney Imagineering who worked side-by-side to make this project a realityrdquo

The thrilling additions of Cars Land Buena Vista Street and the Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge at Disney California Adventure add to the storytell-ing magic of the Disneyland Resort a world-class family vacation destination in Southern California with two theme parks three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district

Themed shops and restaurants also look familiar to fans of the movie including

determined the FCC conducted the auction under certain bidding rules that were unlawful because they were not adopted by the rulemaking process required by law The rules disrupted many SMWBsrsquo busi-ness models and access to funding sources leading to a plunge in the total value of auctioned licenses won by such businesses from a 10-year average of 70 percent to just 26 per-cent in Auction 73 Despite holding the rules unlawful the court did not provide a remedy for the violations

ldquoThe FCC failed to uphold its leg-islatively mandated duty to ensure licenses are disseminated among a wide variety of applicants includ-ing small businesses rural telephone companies and businesses owned by members of minority groups and womenrdquo said Jason T Lagria telecommunications and broad-band policy staff attorney at AAJC

ldquoProviding a substantive remedy for the damaging results of Auction 73 will fulfi ll congressional intent discourage further unlawful FCC ac-tion and prevent continued barriers to opportunities for small minor-ity- and women-owned businesses to win spectrum to serve millions in underserved communitiesrdquo

Auction 73 provided the rights for operators to use the 700 MHz spectrum which was previously used for analog television broad-casting When FCC mandated that all television broadcaster switch to digital television the spectrum

was put up for auction primarily for high-speed Internet and data services for mobile devices More than 100 bidders won 1090 licenses valued at $196 billion Minority-owned bidders won only seven licenses and women-owned businesses won zero The FCC unlawful bidding rules severely reduced competition and undermined Auction 73 one of the most important auctions in the FCCrsquos history The unlawful rules disadvantaged SMWBs on over $33 billion of wireless spectrum auc-tions
