Saint Ignatius Village, Quezon City, Philippines

Issue 2____________ _________________________ ___ July 2014_

Every year the current Board tries to surpass the level

of preparation and creativity that was delivered for

the St. Ignatius Village Fiesta of the previous year. But

since this year marks the 50th Anniversary of Saint

Ignatius Village Association or SIVA, the 2014 Board of

Directors knows that the villagers expect a more

significant and impressive celebration to pay tribute to

this milestone in our village’s history.

During the late sixties, the village started holding

a fiesta every last weekend of July. Most of the

activities were sporting events – golf and

chess tournaments, junior and senior

basketball games (and later the father vs sons

basketball game), volleyball games and table

tennis competition – most of which were

organized by the youth. Of course, there were

the socials – informal dances for the young ones and

the culminating fellowship night – usually with an

Hawaiian motif – for the adults.

In the years to come, activities that focus on charity

and health were added – like Outreach Programs and

Medical Screening Tests and Consultations – thanks to

our ever dynamic Buklod ng Panginoon. By the 2000’s,

the activities were distributed among the four

weekends of July, making it a month long celebration.

Typical events during the recent years include the

Family Fun Run, Medical Screening Tests and

Consultations, Bingo Socials and the Fellowship Night.

What actually are fiestas and why do these

celebrations occur? First and foremost, fiestas in the

Philippines are held to celebrate a patron saint.

Because our subdivision was named after a patron

saint, ours in the only one in Christ the King,

Greenmeadows Parish that holds a fiesta once a year.

The fiesta is of Spanish origin and Spain, being a

Roman Catholic country, set aside certain days to

remember particular saints with processions and

celebrations. Spanish missionaries

during the mid-1500’s found

that the fiesta was a

convenient tool to help

teach Filipinos the Roman

Catholic faith.

Today, there are fiestas

throughout the Philippines

to celebrate events in the life

of Jesus and Mary, and to honor

saints who lived long ago. When the

Spaniards came, many communities were given names

of saints. Nearly all towns have a patron saint to

remember.

Some Filipinos from other Christian groups, however,

insist that the fiesta has become merely a social event,

that the original honoring of the saints has been

largely forgotten. One of the essential activities is the

nine-day Novena Masses. Let us strive to be spiritual

and pious enough to complete the Masses and recite

the novena prayers. Let us pray that our village will

continue to blossom and have more fiestas to

commemorate the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

A SPECIAL KIND OF CELEBRATION

Message from our President

As we gather for the time of thanksgiving for all the blessings to our beloved village under the guidance of our patron saint, St. Ignatius of Loyola, it is best to recall the soldier-priest who renounced the life of nobility for one of extreme privations and endless charitable works for his fellowmen.

It is also the SIVA’s Golden Anniversary and thus our fiesta theme is “Golden SIVA: A Golden Legacy”. May this occasion provide us the inspiration of our patron’s spirit to share with one another, in whatever way possible, in the furtherance of a wholesome life within our community. The 2014 SIVA Board Members pledges their wholehearted service in this regard.

I wish to extend my warmest congratulations to the Social and Cultural committee for this year’s preparation for the Fiesta. I hope and pray that our culminating activities be successful and historic.

Let the exercise of unity, cooperation, and camaraderie we exhibited in this celebration continue to manifest in our hearts and serve as inspiration to move us on in our untiring efforts to make a better St. Ignatius Village.

Jocelyn N. Macatangay, M.D. 2014 SIVA President

Message from our Parish Priest

"At night [Ignatius] would go up on the roof of the house, with the sky there up above him. He would sit quietly, absolutely quietly. He would take his hat off and look up for a long time at the sky. Then he would fall to his knees, bowing profoundly to God." -- Diego Lainez, SJ, one of the early Jesuits.

As we honor the great saint Ignatius of Loyola, I wish to greet all our parishioners and residents of Saint Ignatius Village a truly blessed fiesta!

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of your village we are urged on to look at our patron saint, Ignatius, not only

as our powerful intercessor but also an effective model of spirituality by which we can live out our personal and community life.

Finding God in all things is the heart of Ignatian Spirituality. In the words of James Martin, SJ, "It means that nothing is considered outside the purview of the spiritual life. Ignatian

spirituality is not confined within the walls of a church." It includes not only religious matters but also family, work, relationships, sufferings and joys, nature and culture.

Finding God in all things is looking at all facets of my life and our community life as imbued by the mystery and grace of God. Finding God in all things is allowing God to speak to us not only in the spiritual realm but also in our most practical needs and concerns. Finding God in all things is perceiving God's presence in our brothers and sisters in the community.

I pray, through the intercession and inspiration of Saint Ignatius, that you may continue to search and find God in your community.

Congratulations and Happy Fiesta!

Fr. Bong Tupino Parish Priest Christ the King Parish Greenmeadows, QC

Golden Fiesta Kicks Off with a

Bang!

By Lilian Ramos-Yeo

July may be rainy and wet but that doesn't stop

residents of St. Ignatius from celebrating our Fiesta in

full force.

The 50th golden fiesta of St. Ignatius kicked off with

the Fun Run last July 5 that had a good number of

people participating in the run. It was drizzling a bit

but that didn't stop the children, adults and yes even

the seniors from joining the race. As always with any

St. Ig activity, free yummy food was overflowing! The

staple aroz caldo topped with crunchy chicharon from

the Banal's and this time Purefoods was there to give

hotdog treats and coffee, too! The Purefoods mascot

gamely provided some entertainment for the kids

hehe pero mas natuwa ata ang mga adults :-)

And syempre because it is the Golden Fiesta, level up

ang sponsors! Nissan and Hyundai were present that

weekend to showcase their newest car models.

Another activity is the pro-health, organized by the

Buklod ng Panginoon. It saw the usual number of

residents and kasambahays availing of the discounted

and convenient medical tests. I value and always avail

of this service by Buklod since it is so convenient and

very reasonable.

Apart from these activities, novena masses already

started and last July 13 saw no less than Arch Bishop

Ongtioco celebrating the Sunday mass.

O di ba? Don't you just love how well rounded St.

Ignatius is. We have covered a lot of bases from the

health and fitness of the body to refreshment of the

soul!

Now to invigorate us and keep us youthful, hope

everyone can join in the Grand Fellowship Night on

July 26. For the first time in history, we will be doing

it at the basketball court to

accommodate more people.

The court will be enclosed and

airconditioned for the event. O

di ba bonggacious! The

countries' most sought after

band, Up Dharma Down, will

also be holding a concert for

the Youth Night on July 27.

They will be doing the concert

with Maude, Yolanda Moon

and our homegrown AllAura.

Ibang level!!!! Happy Golden

Fiesta everyone!

B-I-N-G-GOLD!

By Bibet Rosales

One of SIVA’s most participated events was held in the afternoon of Sunday, July 13, 2014. To commemorate SIVA’s 50th Anniversary this year, the annual bingo event was called B-I-N-G-GOLD! Once again, the dashing Jorge Banal, Sr. and yours truly served as the bingo callers. More than P30,000 were given away as cash prizes. With twelve (12) winners sharing the prize

money of P4,000 at Game no. 9, SIVA had to add P2,000 to the pot giving each winner P500. The grand prize of P10,000 was shared by eight (8) winners. On top of the cash prizes tons of gift items were raffled off.

This year’s attendance was record-breaking with almost 300 villagers packing in the Barangay Social Hall. With the help of hard-working SIVA and Barangay St. Ignatius members, more than 800 bingo cards were sold.

SIVA would like to thank BSI for providing the event venue and manpower needed for the success of the event. Hats off, too, for the generous sponsors who provided the raffle prizes – Joel Rustia of Catalogue Shopper, Raffy Siongco of Proctor & Gamble, Quezon City Councilor Pinggoy Lagumbay, Asia Pharma

Venture c/o SIVA President Joji Macatangay and Osy

Santos of Woodside.

We, at SIVA, hope that we would be able to draw out more residents in the succeeding years’ Bingo events. See you next year!

The Wrath of Glenda

By Ericson Yee

HashTags: #GlendaPH and #StIgnatiusVillage

At dawn of July 16, 2014, while most of us were still

asleep, typhoon Glenda (international name:

Rammasun) slowly creeps by Metro Manila. As

predicted by PAGASA, the eye of the storm hit south

of Metro Manila at around 7:30 am. The typhoon,

carrying winds of up to 120kph with gusts up to

165kph, did not spare our village. Some of our trees

were uprooted that damaged some of our properties

and power lines.

An Aratilis tree fell over a parked car in the badminton

court area. A Sampaloc tree also fell down making

First Street impassable towards Riverdale. Large

branches and debris also made Riviera and Fourth

Street impassable to vehicles. A large tree in Fordham

fell down and hit the Meralco post causing it to

collapse, splitting and tangling the electrical wires.

Electrical power was cut off, not just in our village, but

in a large part of Luzon as well.

The Barangay Public Safety Officers and Street

Cleaners, armed with axes and machetes, hurriedly

cleared out the debris in our streets. The Barangay

activated its electric generator that provided power to

some of our villagers so they can charge their

electronic devices. The Barangay Council and SIVA

officers quickly relayed our electrical situation to

Meralco. Meralco then sent personnel to check out

the damage in our village, especially in Fordham

Street.

Electricity was re- installed in some part of our village

at around 3 am. Street lights and our guard houses

were automatically lit up, which is an integral part of

security. However, due to the large damage of the

electrical post in Fordham, some houses had to endure

extended problems in their electrical connection.

Overall, let’s commend our BPSO’s and Street Cleaners

for being there beyond the call of duty. Let us also

commend ourselves for being vigilant in times like this.

Yes, typhoon Glenda was strong, but we, St. Ignatius

Village, are #STRONGER.

Coffee, Tea, and Writing by Marivi R. Octaviano

have yet to meet a writer who does not drink

coffee. A mug of coffee seems to be his constant

companion: a permanent fixture on his desk

which makes me wonder whether it could be a

source of inspiration.

In all my years in TV, PR and Advertising, I was

probably the only writer who shunned coffee. Not

that I had an aversion to it. In fact, I like the aroma

of brewing Arabica slowly permeating the air and

enveloping the coffee shop. It is the aftertaste that

repels me and the lingering odor it leaves in the

breath.

As a child, I drank coffee more than

milk. But because I drank coffee like

the adults I developed palpitations,

prompting me to switch to tea which

later in my adult years gave me what

felt like … urinary incontinence. Yes, it

is shameful that I find myself

frequenting the mall’s restrooms and

getting more acquainted with their

locations than the boutiques with sales.

I sometimes envy young people hanging out in the

coffee shops which have replaced the jazz bars of

my era. While my officemates and I haunted Reasons

in Greenhills for jazz music or Tia Maria’s in Greenbelt

for a drink of Piñacolada, the youth now would make

Starbucks and other coffee shops that have instantly

flourished their sweet haven – with a cup of hot or

cold cappuccino snugly sitting on their table and a

laptop or tablet to boot! It seems the coffee shops

these days have turned into a library of sort … or an

office extension for some. I wonder how all these

coffee shop fanatics could focus on their work with

all the unpredictable sights and sounds around: the

little conversations of people meeting in one corner;

the new customers making their order; and

whatever else that can divert their attention.

I don’t drink coffee. And I’m trying to avoid tea. I

don’t have my own laptop either. (“WHAT???” – You

might yell. It may soon near extinction!) So how I

can laze in a coffee shop and pretend to look busy

with a cup on the side? That’s the “pormang” coffee

shop look! The barristas don’t sell juice – but

naturally, it’s a coffee shop! So what shall I order?

That’s another predicament!

Yet, I avidly want to know what it feels to linger

alone in a coffee shop. Poor me, why do I have to

find it so hard to just go there and sit just

like any paying customer?

I finally mustered enough guts. So

with my little Hello Kitty notebook

and my favorite Colibri pen with a

Minnie Mouse pin which I bought in

the States (such puerile fascination

is the consequence of being confined

to Mongol pencils and Bic ballpens in my

childhood), I went to Starbucks in Eastwood

(the most solemn branch) and ordered for … a cold

chocolate mint drink with java jelly (my own

concoction) and chicken pandesal (exclusive only in

the Philippines!). For a chocolate addict, it was

sacred bliss to enjoy that in Starbucks! But the

cost made me P200 poorer – for a small cup and a

pandesal! Thank God my VISA card allowed me such

luxury!

I took a corner seat and happily relished my drink

and the place, recalling the time I wrote Starbuck’s

launch script for its first branch in the Philippines: the

Starbucks 6750 Ayala, and its second branch in

I

Coffee, Tea, and Writing…

(Continued from Page 7)

Robinson’s Place Ermita where I had my very first

Starbucks experience. My Accounts Manager

brought me along with my Art Director. I remember

my first taste of Starbucks teas. It was on the house

so we could drink to our heart’s content. Call it

freeloading exclusive to VIP guests. If only I drank

coffee, I would have made a taste test, too. But I

didn’t dare. So our group tasted whatever tea we

fancied in the menu. The glasses were tall. I had

tasted three different flavors, half-consuming my

glasses.

When I got home, the whole of me is already

withering, surrendering to slumber except my eyes.

It seemed like two invisible toothpicks were stuck in

between my eyelids. If only I could shut my eyelids

with a glue or staple them together.

It was a ludicrous and uncomfortable feeling:

wanting to sleep when the eyes wouldn’t close.

Good thing I didn’t have a client presentation the

next day or I would have looked like an addict with

bloodshot eyes.

Fast came morning and woke me up, feeling like a

zombie. Ah, what a great thief of forty winks teas

are I would never drink different kinds in one try

anymore! I slept on my office desk that afternoon,

pretending to bury my closed eyes in a magazine

article with minuscule print.

Inadvertently, I had drafted this piece on my little

Hello Kitty notebook while nibbling my chicken

pandesal, almost forgetting my chocolate mint with

java jelly drink that was no longer cold. I realized I

didn’t really need coffee … or even a laptop just to

enjoy a coffee shop … and write.

Young Once By Jorge L. Banal, Sr.

President, FSCAP QC & NCR

June 26, 2014

ON ACTIVE & HEALTHY AGEING:

Are you ageing faster than your

years? If you don’t like what you

see in the mirror, it maybe time to

evaluate some of your daily

routines. The food you eat can add

years to your face and may shorten

your lifespan. For instance, you

may pass up dessert. Aside from

adding excess pounds to your

body, your sweet tooth may also

be adding years to your face.

“Internally, sugar molecules attach

themselves to protein fiber in each

of our cells,” said Dr. Susan Stuart,

a San Diego, California board

certified dermatologist. The

damaging process, known as

glycation, can result in a loss of

radiance, dark circles under the

eyes, loss of tone, puffiness, an

increase in fine lines and wrinkles

and loss of facial contours and

increase pore size. Pass on the

sugary treats if you want to

preserve your youthful glow.

As you get older, it’s even more

important to actively work to stay

healthy and young, both physically

and at heart. These are insight into

ageing gracefully: Your size,

struggling with weight, because of

the food you eat, you must

increase your exercise regimen and

decrease your food intake. Drink

water, skip the soda, even diet

soda. Sugar free gum must become

a best friend, along with a trainer

and a great ideal or willpower. Your

face. This needs critical self-

assessments. If you cannot be

objective, consult a board certified

dermatologist. The best time to

fight frown lines and sagging face is

NOW. Simple techniques like not

rubbing your eyes, wearing an SPF

30 sunblock daily and moisturizers

can go a long way.

Limit Sugar and Salt. If

you succeed in

planning your diet

around fiber-rich

fruits, vegetables,

whole grains,

lean protein, and

good fats, you

may find yourself

naturally cutting

back on food that

can get in the

way of your

healthy diet,

which are sugar and salt. Sugar:

Sugar causes energy ups and

downs and can add to health and

weight problems. Large amount of

added sugar can be hidden in food

such as bread, canned soups and

vegetables, pasta sauce,

margarine, and ketchup. Salt: Most

of us consume too much salt in our

diet. Eating too much salt can

cause high blood pressure and lead

to other health problems. Try to

limit sodium intake to 1,500 to

2,300 mg per day, the equivalent of

one teaspoon of salt.

Add calcium in your healthy eating

for strong bones. Calcium is one of

the key nutrients that our body

needs in order to stay strong and

healthy. It is an essential block for

lifelong bone health in both men

and women as well as many other

important functions. Eat plenty of

calcium-rich food and get your

daily dose of magnesium and

vitamins D and K, nutrients that

help calcium to do its job.

Recommended calcium levels are

1,000 mg per day, 1,200 mg if you

are over 50 years old. Good sources

of calcium are:

1. Dairy such as milk, yogurt and

cheese

2. Vegetables and greens such as

mustard, collard, lettuce,

celery, broccoli, fennel,

cabbage, squash, green beans,

(Continued from Page 9)

brussels sprout, mushrooms

and asparagus.

3. Beans such as black beans,

pinto beans, kidney beans,

white beans, black-eyed peas

or baked beans.

Enjoy Healthy Fats. Healthy fats are

needed to nourish our brain, heart,

and cells, as well as our hair, skin,

and nails. Food rich in certain

omega-3 called EPA and DHA are

particularly important and can

reduce cardiovascular disease,

improve our mood and help

prevent dementia. Add to your

healthy diet”

1. Mono-unsaturated fats from

plant oils like canola oil, peanut

oil, and olive oil, as well as

avocado, nuts (like almond,

hazelnuts), and seeds (such as

pumpkin, sesame)

2. Poly-unsaturated fats,

including Omega-3 and Omega-

6 fatty acid, found in fatty fish

such as salmon, mackerel,

anchovies and sardines.

Reduce saturated fats found

primarily in animal red meat

and whole milk dairy products.

Reduce also trans fats, found in

vegetable shortenings,

margarines, cookies and fried

or baked goods.

Don’t cut out all fat from your diet.

Some fats are necessary for

maintaining a youthful feeling and

appearance, said Franci Cohen, a

certified nutritionist and exercise

physiologist from Brooklyn, New

York. Heart-healthy omega 3 fatty

acids found in oily fish (salmon-

mackerel, etc.) and certain nuts

(like walnuts and flax seeds) keep

skin supple and plump, thereby

preventing wrinkles, and they

boost both heart and brain health

as well,” she said. The Academy of

Nutrition and Dietetics

recommends including fish in your

meals at least twice a week.

“The number-one cause of nearly

every sign of premature ageing on

the human face is ULTRAVIOLET

EXPOSURE,” Dr. Sarah L. Taylor,

Associate Professor of

Dermatology at Wake Forest

Baptist Medical Center. Protect

your skin by wearing sunblock

anytime you go outdoors. Dr.

Taylor recommends as SPF

between 30 and 50 for daily use.

“Running errands, driving and

walking back and forth to any place

may do more damage to your skin

than spending a day at the beach if

you do it without sunblock,” says

Dr. Taylor.

Slumping in front of your activity

for hours can cause your spine to

form an unattractive and

potentially harmful hunched

posture over time, said Dr. Jeremy

Smith, orthopaedic spine surgeon

at Hoag Orthopedic Institute in

Irvine, California, USA. “The spine

has a well-balanced S-shaped

curvature in order to stabilize and

support us,” Smith said. “Poor

posture or slouching deviates the

spine from this normal alignment,

and as a result, the muscles, disks

and bones become abnormally

stressed.” Pain and fatigue often

follow, and possibly spinal

degeneration and a permanent

deformity. Perhaps good posture

by checking it throughout the day:

ear, shoulder, and hip shoulder

form a straight time when seated.

Sleeping on your stomach or on

your side with your face smashed

into the pillow can create wrinkles

and accelerate ageing. “The

connective tissue and collagen in

your face becomes weaker and less

supportive with age,” said Dr.

James Marotta, a board-certified

facial plastic surgeon and skincare

expert. “So when you sleep on the

same side of your face night after

night, your skin won’t smooth out

or spring back as quickly as it did

when you were young.” Those

crease lines from your pillow can

become permanent. Sleep on your

back or invest in a satin pillowcase

to keep skin smooth skin.

It’s time to evaluate your love for

watching TV. Watching the latest

season of House of Cards is one

thing; regularly gluing yourself to

A Summer Repeat!

By Austin Torres

The Barangay Saint Ignatius Summer Basketball

League recently concluded last May. Victorious once

again were the defending champions Monstars. A mix

of talent from Ateneo, La Salle, villagers and guests,

they bested the Socorro team in an exciting series. The

team was led by former DLSU Green Archer Martin

Reyes and Ateneo Glory-B standouts Joma Adornado

and Nino Atilano. Also leading the squad were co-

captains Paolo Vinas, Ervine Cruz and Austin Torres.

Residents include Andrew Bulahan, Alexis Torres, Kiko

Banal and Charles Flores. Vincent Natividad, Geo Ong,

Leo Lorenzo, Carlo Lim, Kevin Nieto and Andrew

Wilson compose the rest of the team.

the TV is another. In the British journal of Sports

Medicine study of about 11,000 Australians ages 25

and older, researchers found that for every hour of

television watching, adults cut their expectancy by 22

minutes. People who spent an average of six hours a

day watching TV, live 5 years less than their non-

viewing counterparts. “This effect is more about

sitting and being inactive rather than the TV watching

itself. When you sit for more than 30 minutes, your

body begins to deposit sugar into your cells, which

makes it more likely you’ll be overweight. When

you’re watching TV at your desk, get up every 15

minutes to walk around.” Dr. Casciari, St. Joseph

Hospital, CA.
